Tue following are a few of the arj;
lucnU upon which tho X. Y.
bases itd ileumml of Kqnal Rights for
AH. ' However dogmtrtweliy cxpress
for the life of s we don't sec how
tliey can be sensibly contradicted. AVe
wrumi-nd them to tho reflection of
niM voters : '
If suffrage could tornado dependent
on virtue, morality, intelligence, educa
tion, creed, or race, whom of us would
our neighbors allow to vote? Virtues
become vices when the vicious arc
indues. Morality is a moral stench in
the nostrils of thedepraved ; and which
are the depraved depends on who are
the mond critics. Mast men's morality
Compounds fur ins tlicy aro lnr lined to
By damning those they havo no miud to.
W'c nil have ooiwienees keenly alive
to the dinscotnmitted by others. A nd,
m to intelligence, a fool always looks
upon a philosopher as an ass. A knave
instinctively holds a man of piety to
1, livnoorite. A thief, whether in
or out of our legislatures, winks at hon
esty as the last pretence of a scoundrel.
And ft drunkard laceups in his
maudlin etupor that the only cliffi'i-oncc
between a saint and him is, that one
fjrts drunk on rum and the other on
religion. The slaveholders, whose
property in the slave was a daily thelt
of his wages, honestly scorned tho hero
who gave the slave his freedom ns on
a moral par with the thief who steals
a horse. Nouc are so conceited in esti
mating their wisdom as tho intensely
ignorant; none so appreciative of the
intelligence of the humblest iu their
sphere as the very wise. A sailor
would despise a Newton who would find
everything to admire in the skill with
which the sailor fulfilled the functions
of his narrow but useful sphere of life.
Contempt for men of any kind, class,
or race, is never felt by the best men
nor the highest races for the lower, but
always by the lower tor the higher.
Tt is not" the Christs who crucify the
rabble, nor Socrates who administers
hemlock to the dunces, nor Galileo
who imprisons the bigots, nor the re
formers who burn the sensualists at the
stake. So it is not the. higher ehisses
of the American or English nation
who object to universal suffrage, but
they whose right to the suffrage is as
doubtful as that of those to whom it is
proposed to extend it. Ask the first
man vou meet who eannit read,
whether the right to vote ought to be
tion of UWvte. Suffrage, bear in
miud that Voters only require to know
which prty most sincerely favors the
class It which they belong. They do
yiot vote on questions of policy or
statesmanship, but only for one or the
other of two, icldoui three, political
par-ties. The general principles to
which parties are pledged always em
anate from the most exiwricnccd minds
in the country. The particular steps
in legislation by which those princi
ples are to be carried out are discussed
bv the ablest minds in both political
parties. The two parties tone their
platforms and policies suthciently to
ward each other that the general dif
ference between them is more one of
time than of principle. The Demo
cratic party favors to-day what the Re
publican party advocated a year ago,
and the extreme Radicals were advo-
a sew mix.
On Monday morning of last week,
after muoh discussion, the Reconstruc
tion Committee reported a new bill,
with the following provisions : 1st. I
To abolish civil governments in the
Southern States. 2nd. That Oen'l.
Grant be empowered to enforce upon
his subordinates tho performance of all
aets authorized by former reconstruc
tion bills, and that he may remove and
appoint at will commanders for the
several districts, to tho "end that the
people of the several States may speedi
ly re-orgauizo civil governments, re
publican in form, in said States, and
be restored to political power in the
Union." 3rd. Calls for the removal
of civil oflicers in the provisional gov
ernments and cuts off the power of the
President to appoint commanders for
districts. 4th. The President must in
eating two years ago. no w,y interfere to assert the authori-
Tlms in Finance, the position of the j tv 0f pr0visIoti:tl governments. 5th.

then for State banks and opposed to
greenbacks ; and now it is for green
backs and against the National banks,
and, should any improvement be sug
gested in the National Banking Sys
tem, it would io for the National
Banks and against improvement. Thus
on the most intricate qutntions of fi
nancial policy, tho voter can at best
mil v lag a year or two behind, and by
voting the Conservative ticket ho will
in the course of it lifetime vote for all
of the principles which ho would have
voted for had he voted the Radical
ticket, except that he votes for them a
vear or two litter. Voting, therefore
though a very important, is a very
simple right, and one which requires
neither learning nor ability to exercise
without harm, and with real advan
tage to the country.
But the principal use of the ballot is
to secure for the humblest citizen the
respect of otlieials, and kind and just
treatment at the hands of courts. De
prive a race of the ballot, and every
agency of Government winch ought to
to protect will combine to oppress them.
Deprive the Southern Freedmen of
the ballot, and oppression, resistance,
and a war of races, are inevitable.
Leave them the ballot, and peace
and ultimately prosperity are as
sured.

Immense sums of money are being ex

On Tuesday, of lust week the Senate
convened at three o'clock, Speaker
Graham, presiding. The new Sena
tors answered and were sworn rn. iu -Candless,
Democrat, of Philadelphia,
nrotrated against tho old opeaKer
swearing in the new Senators. Ruled
out. For speaker Jas. L. Uralmm,
l)eniilili5in. received 19 votes: A.
Wallace, Democrat, 14. Mr. Wal
lace administered the oath of office to
Mr. Giuliani, after which bo made
some very appropriate remarks for the
occasion.
Geo. W. I lammorsley of Philadel
phia was elected Clerk. F. M. Hutch
inson, of Pittsburg, was the Demo
cratic candidate. All the candidates
of yesterday's Republican caucus were
elected.
At 12 o'clock, the House was called
to order by J. R. M'Afee, Assistant
clerk. The Secretary of the Common
wealth Frank. Jordan was announced
and presented tho credentials of the
members elected, which were read.
The roll was railed, all the members
being present but one.
On motion, the House went into an
election for Speaker. R. L. Jones, E.
W. Davis, S. M'Camaut and John
Ewing were nominated as candidates
for the much coveted position. Six
ballots were had without clleeting any
oriranization.the vote standing: Davis,
43 ; Jones, lo', M'Camaut, i ; Ewing
'2. Armstrong, of Lancaster, Bcekert
and Riddle, of Allegheny ; Espy, of
Crawford : Richards, of Fulton; Rob-
uison, ot .Mercer; ami narton, u
lltintinirton : vote I for M'Camaut;
M'Cnnmnt, of Blair, and Smith of
Allegheny, voted for Davis. lhc
Democrats .went solid for Jones.
This dead lock continued until Fri
day last, when the bolters gave way
and voted for Davis for Speaker, which
secured his election. The vote stood
fifty-one for Davis and forty-three
for Jones, tho Democrat candidate.
It seems that tho State Treasurer-ship
was at the bottom of the bolt, and it is
said that tho bolters made a proposition
to the Democrats to support their can
didate for that office if in payment
therefor they would vote tor iiWing
or some other Republican other than
Davis for Speaker. This proposition
is said to have been entertained, but
shortly alter the bolters yielded and
went for Davis as already stated.
The business of the session will now
proceed. It is understood that the
lion. Geo. Wilson, of Allegheny, will
bo Chairman of the House Railroad
Committee.
The conduct of these men is repre
hensible in the extreme and will give
them a very unfavorable reputation
throughout the State.
tug what tney tuemseives win not, anu
chargo tho governnieut with the re
sponsibility of their own mismanage
ment. They are mad with everything
and can be trusted and believed in
nothing. They made at one time a
great ; hue ami cry about their planta
tions being sold at great sacrifices to
pay taxes or mortgages and no sooner
was n law passed against that, than
they Bay that since the passage by the
Convention of the temporary ordinance
prohibiting the levy of executions and
sale of property they are not able to
collect anything and that all business
except a little retail trade is practical
ly dead. Another says :

days longer there must ba many fail-

ties, chiefly planters, lie coum realize
almost nothing. He had his business
and wastrvimr to srain a bare support
for his family until the return ot lienor

A New Orleans correspondent takes
a more correct view and says : The
South is passing through a terrible yet
necessary ordcalas themeansofthe ad
justment of society on a basis of a sound
political economy and of just relations
between man ami man. I never saw
such a stagnation and utter want of
contidenee. ircuu isuwi a

That is the whole thing in a nut
shell, want of confidence, but the
South has not touched bottom yet, a
new order of things is inevitable. The
nmetiee. of industry, economy and
honesty will soon relievo them of their
inconveniences of poverty. Cireulat-
