GIVING GOOD ADVICE.

The editor of one of the colored newspapers wrote to number of prominent men asking what the ne. groes should do with regard to the question of suffrage. He received a number of replies, but the best bit of advice among all of them that we have seen came from President Eliot of Harvard. '"The negroes" he wrote, should try and secure the franchise on the same terms as the whites, and these terms should include an educa- tional qualification and a property qualification"
 It will be well if the negroes of the South heed this advice. Neither through President, Congress nor the Federal courts will universal suffrage be established. The States which are most concerned have adopted constitu- tional requirements and enacted laws qualifying the elective franchise, and these laws and regulations will re- main in force. The courts have de- |sclined to interfere and will continue to decline. Congress cannot control suf- frage in the States, and will not try. The way pointed out by President FL tot Is the only one and the negro may as we'll understand it. He can fit himself for the elective franchise and thus secure It. He can get it in no other way,
