Negro Suffrage.

lion. Montgomery Blair takes ground in
the North American Rerieic, Cor March,

negro and his deportation. Negro suffrage
is aso treated, in the same Rerie,c, BY
Messrs. Stephens, Lamar, Wade Hampton,
Hendricks, Wendell Phillips, Garfield and
Blaine in favor Of it, The latter gentle
man says:
IS one Of the curious developments Of
political history, that man who sat in the
cabinet Of Abraham lincoln when emaneipa.
ton was decreed, should live to write paper
against enfranchisement Of the negro, when
the Niee-President Of the rebel confederaey,
and two Of its most distinguished officers, are

Judge Alex. Riyes, the United States
GsIiIt, now sitting at Danyille, Va, has
just caused five County. Court Judges to
be indicted for failing to put negroes on
their juries.
The Baltimore american of Saturday last
says The unrestrained enthusiasm of United
States Judge Riyes, Of Virginia, for the es-
tablishment Of the color line in the jury box
will be apt to get him into trouble. Ia caus.
ing the indictment OF a number Of state judges
on the ground that they are violating the pro
visions Of the fourteenth amendment and the
Civil Rights bill by failure to place colored
men on iuries in their respective courts, we
think the Judge has not ground enough to
stand on. The inhibitions of The fourteenth
amendment are upon the states, and how the
failure Of a judge to canse different classes o
the community to be represented in the juries
of his court can be construed as violation
OF the federal laws we are at a loss to say.

viii Sectional Hatred Never ooasop


When the bill granting pensions to the
soldiers of the Mexican war was under
consideration in the Senate on Monday
the courageous Mr., lIoar, Of Massaehu.
sets, moved to exclude from its benefits
Mr.. Jefferson Davis A debate ensuod,
when Mr., Hoar aud Mr., Zach Chandler
gave vent to sectional hatred and made
cowardy assaults upon ono who was not
present to defend himself. Mr.. Lamar
and other gentlemen replied, aud the re.
suit was that the bill failed to pass. The
Republicans were so vindictive towards
Mr., Davis that they determined to deny
to the veterans Of the Mexican war any
recognition, in a practical way, because
the bill permitted, if he chose, one man to
draw a pension. Thousands must be de-
MED the benefits the government usually
bestows upon her defenders, because one
man might draw few hundred dollars per
annum from the treasury. The Democrats
deserve credit for not yielding. Too long
has this petty and spiteful spirit been per-
mitted to rule, aud il should be crushed.
Mr., Davis did not desire pension, and
perhaps would not have ayailed himself of
the privilege of being placed upon the pay
rolls, had the bill passed. Where was this
valiant Hoar during the Mexican war, and
where was Mr. Chandler? One secure in
the West and the other among the rugged
hills of Massachusetts,. They were willing
that Mr. Davis should fight their battles,
while they remained in safety In that
war he received a severe wound, and now,
instead of words Of compliment for his
services, he, of all, is singled out as uu-
worthy to receive compensation. The
others, majority Of whom reside in the
South, and did as much service for the
Confederate States us did Mr.. Davis, are
deemed sufficiently meritorious as to de-
serve governmental assistance. The acts
Of secession Of the Southern States were
unwise, impolitic aud disastrous to the
whole country, and born Of heated aud
hasty judgments 10 both sections Of the
Union. But that is neither here nor there.
The question is, why is Mr.. Davis so cor
daily hated by the North? He was pres
ident Of the eonfederacy. Some one had to
be chosen, aud the choice fell upon Mr..
Davis, In that capacity he did no more
against the Northern States than Lamar.
Gordon, Ill., Tucker, or any Southeruer
would have done. And, from a Republi
can view of the Coniederates, has net Mr.
Davis acted more modcstly, calmly and
bccomingly than any other Southern man ?
Has he sought Office, sought power or pa.
radcd his views before the country oa any
subject? Has he taken any part in State
or national politics? Has he not led the
life of quiet, private citizen? In com
parson to his deiamers, he stands head
and shoulders above them oil.
