Universal Suffrage.


'FAnatiOism decreed universal suffrage,
or manhood suffrage, at the close Of the
late sectional war. Nothing else would
do. It was the one great need Of the hour.
It was demanded, Il was alleged, BY the
exigencies Of the times, to enable the
freedmen to protect themselves against
their former masters, That was the plea.
Il was accomplished, much against the
will Of the whites in the South at that
time. Now, negro suffrage is popular
there, both with whites aud blacks. The
white men would not disfranchise the ne
groes If they could, and for very good
reason. Formerly but three-ffths Of the
negro population were represented. Now
the whole Of it is. Without negro suf-
frage, and with representation reduced to
a white basis, the South would have ninety
two votes only in the Electoral College
instead Of one hundred and thirty-eight
and her Congressional representation pro-
portionately reduced. The relative weight
Of the South in the Union is therefore
much increased by negro suffrage, aud the
whites there would not now disturb it il
they could. Since the blacks show al
increasing disposition to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, and there is fear of "solit
South against the Radical party, thai
party is changing its tune from manhood
or universal Suffrage to intelligent suffrage
Universal suffrage, which was brorgh
about by northern fanatics to reveng,
themselves upon southern rebels, has re
turned to plague its inventors. They
would change it, now, if possible, but il
is quite beyond their control.

The Situation in Louisiana.

In New Orleans, on Tuesday, the mill
tia, 5000 strong, mustered in by the
Nichols government took possession of all
the police stations, the court house and
the arsenal, and surrounded the state
house, where the Packard Legislature,
guarded by some negro militia, were in
session. The stations were all surrendered
without firing gun, and no blood was
shed. The metropolitan telegraph wires
were cut by the Nichols militia, but Pack
ard re-established communication with U.
S. Marshal Pitkin at the Custom House
by statiOning the U, s. Signal Corps on top
of the State House. When the Democrats
obtained possession of the Court building
they installed their Judges in place Of the
Republican Court. A demand for the
surrender of the State House was rejected
by Packard, who said he would resist any
attack. Subsequently, the leaders of the
Nichols party disclaimed any intention of
attacking that building. Early in the af-
ternoOn, some one 10 the crowd fired two
pistol shots into the lower story of the
State House; three shots were returned
from within, and, though no one was
wounded, the excitement was intense. AT
this juncture, the Mayor rode up in a
carriage and read proclamation which
had been issued by Nichols, representing
the danger of the people collecting in large
bodies, and enjoining them to return peace.
fully to their homes. Part Of the crowd
dispersed, and the remainder were finally
induced to retire by the exertions of Mich.
oils and Chief of Police Baylor. The
Democrats remained masters Of the stun.
ton, about $500 pntrolling the streets.
There was no interference by Gen. Augur
commanding the U. S. troops, during the
day. The events in New Orleans were
considered ut a Cabinet meeting, and
General Augur was instructed to suppress
call unauthorized armed bodies organized
and assembling 10 a manner to threaten
the peace of the city," The President, it
is stated, will not recognize either party.
On Wednesday Gen. Nichols notified
Gen. Augur that he would disband his
militia. The situation otherwise remains
unchanged.

The New Coat Of Arms.

Adjutant General Bond, says the ARnapo-
lis Gazette, has received from the Centennial
Commissioners for the State of Maryland,
Hon. John II. b. Latrobe and Samuel NJ.
Shoemaker, Esq, two banners, on which are
painted the arms Of Maryland, as the same
are now blazoned, agreeably to the act Of
Assembly, which corrected the deviations
that had been authorized from the arms of
Lord Baltimore, and restored them 10 their
shape. In their letter Of presentation, the
commissioners say "These banners hung
upon the walls of the Main Hall OF the Mary
land Building during the exhibition in Phila-
delphia, which celebrated the Nntennial An.
niyersary of Independence, and are now
committed in memoriam to he custody Of
the State.p The present banner or arms Of
the State has mural crown instead Of the
eagle over the shield, and the words ''F'atti
mdschii parole feHiHc" underneath as the
motto, instead Of the words "Crescite Fl null
fipiicaBsini. y The new motto means, "Man-
ly deeds and womanly words, while the old
meant increase and multiply
We don't think this tinkering of the
coat of arms has improved the device in
the least. The substitution of the crown
for the bird of Jove viii hardly be accep-
table to plain republicans. There was just
as much reason for going back to the pro-
prietary government, as there was for
changing the coat Of arms. And the le-
geud, with which all are so familiar, is to
be given up for one which is, We think,
neither so neat, terse or expressive.

Snow IN NORTHERN PEsNsYLvASr

Snow IN NORTHERN Pennsylvania.
--Prodigious stories of deep snow come
from Northern Pennsylvania. In Wayne
county, last week, there was three feet of
snow on the level, with drifts twenty-five
feet deep. Roads have been filed, travel
suspended, cattle buried, railroad trains
blocked, and even farm buildings were
completely blocked. One old farmer is
told Of, whose family consisted Of himself,
wife and two daughters. Their house was
nearly buried in the snow, and their only
communication with the road was hcaped
its entire length with impossible drifts.
Their peculiar situation was not discovered
until Thursday, when farmers passing
along the road saw that the lane leading
to the house was drifted full. A force at
once went to work and cut road in the
old farmers. With the help of bis two
daughters-his wife being too feeble to
render any assistance-the old man had
cut passage to his barn, through bank
fifteen feet high, and twenty-five feet
broad. They were compelled to use tin
pans and a fire shovel, the only available
implements they had at hand. This pas
sage made, they had commenced to dig a
way through the lane to the road. When
discovered they had made considerable
progress. The old man had been prostra-
ted BY the exhausting labor, and hi. two
daughters we're at work alone. The aid
reached them most opportunely, as the
provisions Of the family were about gone,
and their wood nearly used up. The
women could have never reached the road
and all would have persisted with hunger
and cold.

The Washington, D. c. Sunday Herald
Of the eth instant, says Mr.. Roberts,
the new Chairman Of the House Commit.
tee on Accounts, is winning golden opin-
ions from all sorts Of people by his con-
duct Of the office The prerogatiyes Of
his committee give scope for many petty
annoyances and mean injustices, if it
chooses to exercise its powers arbitrarily,
even under the guise Of regard for "ecouo-
nay" Dir. Roberts rises above all this,
and while keeping mastery grasp on
the details Of his province, administers it
with such urbanity and generosity wher-
ever his sense of duty allows, that when be
imposes restrictions they are sure to be
dictated by wisdom and prudence. 10
short, as Mr.. Roberts remarked in the
House on Friday, Il heartily ngree with
the gentleman in all his efforts for re-
trenchment whenever retrenchment is
proper but I confess that do not sup
port retrenehmont where it trenches upon
justice aud right.

small village on the line between Delaware
and Maryland, between James Gordon

and Frederick May, growing out Of the
previous cowhiding of Bennett by May,
Three shots were exchanged and no harm
done. Their weapons were probably as
dangerous to the bystanders as to the
principals, for their nerves must have been
very unsteady, if they could not hit in
