Restricted Suffrage.

At the Greenback "mass convention"
last evening" convention which went into
conclave soon after assemblng-one of the
speakers assailed the Republican party as an
enemy to free manhood suffrage, and ac
cused it of the design to take away the bal
lot from the poor man. This speaker has,
until within two years, been member OF
the political organization that, from the
close of the war until 1872, openly opposed
the right of the freedman to the ballot, and
that has been grumbling ever since at the
conceded right.
The accusation preferred by the speaker
in question is based upon the false report
published in the Greenback Labor-Chron-
icle and the New Era-Leader that the Re-
publican majority in the Maine Legislature
favor measures curtailing the elective fran
i:hse and confning it to privileged class.
The only measure looking to such an end
was the order introduced into the Legisla-
ture by the Fusion representative from Scar
borough, and couched, if the reports may be
believed, in photography of the Josh Bill
lings fashion. 1t is not to be expected that
he Fusion papers will correct that mis-
statement. Truth-telling is altogether out
If their line. But we are surprised hat a
nan, personally of fair ability and some ac-
,uirements, should permit hims If to repeat
Lhe SANDER If he believes the story he is
an ignoramus. If he is acquainted with the
facts in the case he is demagogue, seeking
10 promote selfish ends by misleading the
people and distorting the truth.

Another parrot story, and true one: We
all know the birds propensity for picking up
new phrases. A worthy deacon owned a
young parrot which had been brought up in
the family. 1t had never heard aught but
proper language, and always being present at
family prayers had learned many scraps Of
hymns and prayers, would Mt times reverently
''exhort" its hearers, aud was nicknamed
''Pious Poll" One dark, rainy night the dea-
con storted out with Poll safely sheltered with
in the breast of his overcoat 10 exhibit her
among some friends. AS he walked along he
struck his pet corn against a sharp some; it
the anguish OF the moment the dea AN gave
vent 10 an exclamation the reverse OF ph'us.
Arrived at the friends house Poll was re-
qaesied by her master 10 lead them in
prayer" when, cooking her head on one side,
with knowing look ct the peer deacon, Poll
croaked out that stUne!"

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
Of the vile conduct of the original malefae-
tors.

American Counsel for Ireland.

A movement has o,ig mated Ill Bostali
to send an American Counsel over to Ire
land To assist IN defending the Land Lea
CUE. The pan agreed upon was TO send
Gea. Batter, Gen. Rostr \ Pryor,
Jere Black and Emr.ry 4. Stors over
there 10 assist as c,nnsels for the indicted.
There was talk % Matt Carpenter, cf
Wisconsin, as substitute, IN case Judge
Black or any If the o.hers should be pre-
vented f.um accepting retainer III the
case. II Was expected that enHuah money
could b. raised IN thi, country 10 dcfrar
all expenz..s If the expedition. The rea-
son why the project waS started was that
a rumor had gained circulation To the ef-
feet that all the leading conncelIn ireland
had been retained hy the Government be-
fore the indictm ents were found, and that
Mr.. Parnell and his followers were cor-
PEELED 10 secure -he services Of second
rate lawyers. The only question was
whether American lawy Is would be per
mittrd t. pract.ce In Briti'h court.
This could be done only by courtesy, and
as the courtesy has always been extended
it is thought that tie Government would
not risk the severe criticism which would
necessarily follow 4 refusal. Leading
lawyers differ an this point, majority
maintainin. that American council cnuld
not practice in the courts under the CIR
cumstances. II Parnell sends favorable
response, however, the experiment viii be

Schurz on Indian Reservations.

Mr. Schurz in his report expresses the
opinion that the system Of Indians reser-
vations is bad one, and that it is prefer
able to keep the Indians Oh the lands
they inhabit, and secure such lands TO
them in severalty. There can be no
doubt that the reservation system has
been productive Of much evil, but the
reason Of its failure has generally been
the inability OF the United States Gov
ernment to maintain is pledges to the
Indians. Reservations in fact have only
been respected by the people 50 long as
they were not wanted. Whenever set
Elements has reached up to their boun-
daries encroachment and aggression have
followed, and af.er the usual war it has
been found necessary 10 remove the
Indians To some Glhcr reservation, from
which in turn they are sure to be ousted
when the advancing tide touches their
territory. Ii Mr.. Schurz has discovered a
plan of securing land to them which is
proof against popular hwlessness and
greed, then indeed he is warranted in
abandoning the reservation system. But
We confess to doubt On this head, for
SO far We have never heard Of any Indian
titles which were valid against white men
when the test came.

Gov. Williams and President Lincoln

The late Governor Williams of Indiana,
and Mr. Lincoln are thus compared: "Thc
resemblance of Governor Williams to
Mr.. Lincoln WAS not merely physical.
They were alike of uncommon stature.
The Governor was six feet four and Mr..
Lincoln lowered above these figures.
Both were gaunt and awkward but self
possessed. The hands we're alike large and
unshapely, but those of Mr.. Williams
were literally worn to the bone at the
finger ends and he had lost nail or two,
which added to his claim of horny handed.
The head of Governor Williams was much
smaller than thai Of Mr. Lincoln, and
the abunjan; hair, with scarcely a thread
Of silver, was worn close-cut and smooth,
instead of disordered and dank, as it
fell around Lincoln's rugged face. His
features we're built in altogether larger
mould than those of Mr. Williams.
HIS nose WAS narrow and pointed, and
the dark eyes we're sunken and small,
with twinkle OF fun or sobriety of
expression, instead Of the sreat unfstho-
mable we'll Of thought which we're shaded
by Mr. Lincoln's overlanging brow"

AMONG the politicians of Ohio pecu-
liar discussion is just now going on. Con
siderable influence has been brought to
bear upon President-elect Garfield in re-
gard to the men from that State who hold
federal offices, but he has not seemed to
be willing to make any promises. Some
of his friends say that he will not be a
mere President Of Ohio, but of the whole
country. The Ohio men who have not
already received appointments TO of'ee
are in great trouble because Mr.. Garfield
does not encourage them. 1t is probable
that he will select quite a large number
of officers from States which lie beyond
the boundary lines of Ohio.
