Mr.. Hubbell, of Ohio, who was absent
sick when the vote was taken on the suf-
frage bill in the House, this morning, on a
question of privilege, asked permission to
have his vote recorded in favor of the
bill. This renders the Union vote OF
Ohio unanimous on the question. Little
doubt is entertained that the suffrage bill
will pass the Senate by decided majority,
and it is believed that in case it does the
President will sign it. It is known that
in June last in conversation with q prom
inent member of Congress, he declared
himself in favor of negro suffrage in the
District

If the negro haters of Washington,
whose rage at this passage of the suffrage
bill is unbounded, carry cut their threats,
there will be fair chance for Northern
capitalists to invest in real estate in this
District. Many of the old residents de-
clare they viii emigrate as soon as the bill
becomes law.

ITALIAN OPERA IN BAD WAY.-From pres
eHt indicstions there il very little chance Of
season Of Italian Opera In this city for . long
time. There are no signs Of the old Academy,
which was destroyed by fire, being very speed
lily rebuilt, although we heard some promises
Of its immediate reconstruction. II will pro-
badly take many months before 1t can be put
into available condition. II IL said that Pike,
Of Cincinnati Operatic fame, who lost his really
fine house by fire last winter, has purchased
property on Twenty-third street, and is about
to build . grand Opera House there; but this
will take year or more to get in order, so that
the probability is that we shall have to wait
two seasons for Italian Opera. Meantime, how
ever, we shall have Ristori, with good dra-
madc company, at the French theatre, in Sep
tember next, and that may prove attractive
enough for the fall without the Opera. The
theatrical business has fallen so low OF late
that there Is a chance OF many Of the houses
being shut up next winter. II such should be
the case, II will be the fault OF the managers,
and not Of the public. The people are as well
disposed TO patronize good plays as ever; but
the managers have been conducting their houses
so carelessly and with such little regard to
public taste in the production of respectable
dramatic works, that the people have grown
tired Of them. Az far as Italian Opera Is con-
cerned we must be content to wait for some
time for that class Of amusement

We publish on our first page to-day the
Address Of Governor Wells, of Louisiana, in
reference to the recent terrible riot in New
Orleans 1t gives plain statement OF the
causes which Ted to the murderous assault
upon the Convention, and shows conclu-
sively to every unprejudiced mind that the
course of Andrew johnson has given the
rebels courage to boldly assume to control
the destinies of the State. To accomplish
this purpose men known to hold Union SEN
timents are either to be alienated from the
Commonwealth, or brutally murdered. With
the rebels it is either rule or ruin, and now
that they have the President sustaining them
in their nefarious policy, they no longer
conceal their opinions, but attempt to put
them into practice. 1t is matter OF con-
graduation on the part of the loyal people
that the legislative branch of the Govern
ment is composed of men who are true to
the cause of their country, else. ere long,
the country might again be the scene of civil
strife. We commend the address to the
attentive perusal of our readers.

They DON'T AGREE.-In their efforts 10
misrepresent the doings of the Union party,
and cast reproach upon the Convention
which nominated Mr.. Riddle, our opponents
have adopted a style of tactics wholly at
variance with truth and system. We give
below small sample of their method OF
proving themselves falsifiers. In speaking
of the free train that LETT this city on last
Wednesday, the following opposite and con
Trajectory statements appear in the organs
of the rebels:-


The Gazette says


''It is known that the extra train was a
sudden arrangement on the day before. "
On the other hand the Delawdredn says
"a free train was advertised, and band
OF music hired TO drum up recruits.

compare notes, hereafter, before yenturing

The proposition to make Congress per-
petual instead Of perennial met with unex-
pected difficulties when it was broached in
the House yesterday. The Connecticut mem
bers are not elected until the first Monday
in April and some obstacles in the way Of
fixing an earlier election exist in the shape
Of organic laws. In California an election
cannot be held-so say the Representatives
Of that State-at the time it would be neces-
sary to huld it in order to get the new MEM
bers here on the 4th Of March, because Of the
rainy season, which prevents the inhabitants
in some parts Of the State from assembling
at the polls. Now it is little strange that
some progressive radical did not only pro-
pose to override the fundamental laws Of
Connecticut but to abolish the rainy season
in California. Surely, in view Of the great
necessity that Congress should sit here suck
ing their claws and watching The President,
they would be justified in revolutionizing
