- The DynnmlcH of the Suffrage Question.
Tub late Henry Winter Davis declared in one
of Lis upeecbes, not long before liia untimely
decewe, that the question of Biiflrage for the
colored citizens of the United States waa not
merely a question of philanthropy, bat one o
"political dynamics" as well. Our Republi
can frlpnda In Maryland have already found It
bo, and to their coot, llad they, during the
period while they possessed political control of
that State, been wise enough and bold enough,
to have enfranchised the colored citizens, they '
might still have maintained nndiHputed pos- 1
BeaBion of the Btate. They voluntarily fought
, the battle with only part of their forces, and j
hey lost their State in consequence.
'. The Republicans of Tennessee have been I
winer. Rising to a more correct appreciation j
of the tendencies of the times aud the exi-
gencios of the situation, they have summoned .
their colored follow-citizens Into the political I
field, and Lave reinforced themselves for their
contests with disloyalty and retrogression by a ;
phalanx of faithful allies. We look upon Ten- .
nessee as safe to the Republican cause for a
long time to come.
But there is a broader sense than that of
mere State control, in which the enfranchisef
ment of the colored citizens is likely to prove
an important element in political dynamics.
The present probabilities are that the late
Rebel States will be admitted to the Union in
season to participate in the next Presidential
election. Throughout those States the colored
citizens have been enfranchised by act of Con- j
gress. i hey are hereafter to participate in all
elections. Where they do not themselves con
stitute a numerical majority in the State, they
will at least hold the balance of power. The
probability is that, unless the Democratic party
can manage to secure a pretty large portion of
the colored vote, it will find itself in a minority
in each of those States. It would be a strange
sight, we confess, to see South Carolina repre
sented in Congress by a thorough Republican
delegation, yet Buch a result is by no means
impossible, and would be but typical of the
great revolution through which the country
has passed.
But Republican Congressional delegates from
the late Rebel States may play an important
part in political dynamics. It is the opinion
of many shrewd politicians that in the next
Presidential election there will be no choioe
by the people, and that the election will thus
be thrown into the House of Representatives
In such a oase each State, without reference to
population or extent, casts a single vote.
South Carolina will count for as much as Penn
sylvania. Here is where the "dynamics" come
in. Moreover, the House of Representatives
which would have this question to decide is the
present one not the one to be elected in 1868.
In the Presidential election of next year,
the colored citizens ot the South will, for
the first time, vote for a Chief Magistrate of
the country. They will, doubtless, vote much
in accordance with the bias which they may
acquire in their first elections, to be held this
fall. They will still be influenced more or
less by the desire of fortifying and assuring
themselves in their political position as citi
zens. They will watch with jealousy the
position of parties with reference to their en
franchisement. They will scan closely the
attitude of parties on this question in those
States where the colored citizen is deprived of
his vote. The disfranchisement of the colored
citizen in Pennsylvania is a perpetual threat
of his disfranchisement in the late Rebel
States. The party which perpetrates
bo unjust a measure in Pennsylva
nia cannot expect to receive the
support of that class of citizens anywhere in
the country. It is in this view of the subject
that the action of the late old-fogy Democratic
Convention of this State becomes of some im
portance dynamically considered. We know
of no better campaigning document for Repub
licans all over the South than the platform
adopted the other day by the Democrats at
narrisburg. It is full of the bitterest hatred
against the colored citizens of the United
States. Its spirit would wrest the ballot from
every such citizen from one end of the country
to the other. It is an open declaration of war
against the rights and liberties of four millions
of our fellow-citizens, which they would be
foolishly criminal did they not take notice of
and resent. It is the pretense of the Demo
cratic party at the South that it is the
lest friend the colored citizen has. To expose
the falsity of this assumption, the Republicans
have but to point to the Democratic platform
in Pennsylvania. That tells how much re
gard the Democratio party has for the rights of
the colored citizen. '
The Democratio party has never in its past
history shown much regard for abstract jus
tice. It has never been able to see the ethioal
element in politics. But it has generally
shown a pretty fair comprehension and respect
for the dynamics of politics. It could under
stand the power of votes, aud has shown a good
degree of shrewdness and zeal in getting them.
It lias respected force, if not prinoiple. We
would, therefore, suggest to its leaders whether
this warfare upon the few colored citizens in
such States as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc.,
is likely hereafter to pay f We make no ap
peal to Jastice, but merely to vulgar shrewd
ness. Is it best to sacrifice, almost surely and
niH DAILY
bopp)ciily, the entire Bonlh for the sake of
excluding a few hundred honcat clti.n from
the ballot-box in a few of the Northern Stales t
We ce signs that this view of the subject it
forcing itself upon the more intelligent mem
bers of th party. They see where this thing
is leading to, and they begin to feel that there
is no sense in pursuing a linn of policy which
promises nothing. It is foolish to serve the
Devil when he can't pay. The old Bourbon
leaders who met at Ilarrisburg the other day
have not the first particle of political shrewd
ness, or they would have preserved a disoreet
silence upon the BufTragn question. They
had nothing to gain by their gratuitous assault
upon the colored citizens. All the votes they
can hope to make by pandering to a fading
prejudice are already thidrs by right of pre
emption and Immemorial occupancy and uao.
They have not strengthened their position at
home any by their aotion, and they have fur
nished a powerful weapon to the opponents
of their party at the South. They might, at
least, have consulted dynamio considerations
a little, if they could not the nobler prin
ciples of Justice and abstract right.
Honor the Office.
Councils yesterday had the proper sense of
propriety when they passed a resolution ex
tending the hospitalities of the city to the Pre
sident of the United States, and we are sur
prised that any three men could be found who
were so wanting in becoming respect as to vote
against the measure. Those of our readers
who have watched the policy of this journal,
can bear witness to our opposition to the per
sonal eonduct and political career of Mr. John
son; but because we do not agree with the
views of the gentleman who at present hap
pens to be in the Presidential chair, is no
reason why we should slight the Chief Execu
tive of the United States of America. It is not
to Andrew Johnson, a citizen of Tennessee,
that Philadelphia extends her hospitalities,
but it is to the President of the United States.
The office, upon whomsoever conferred, covers
the holder with a dignity which, if we respect
our nationality, we should acknowledge.
The American people, in their earnest
faith in universal equality, are almost
inclined to Jacobinism. There is a great dif
ference between a proper respect for
office and a cringing subserviency to the oocu
pant. One is found in the conduct of every
right-thinking citizen, who, conscious of his
equality with the individual, does not scruple
to pay that respect which the position of the
officer demands. The other is the obtrusive
indecencies of an ill-bred coward, who fears
that people may deem him inferior, aud con
tinually pushes his equality befere all others,
to prevent them forgetting that he is legally
their peer. A manly consciousness of the
lights of a citizen, and the possession of that
common sense which dictates that order is
best preserved by showing respect to autho
rity, teaches every man to deferentially
approach the representative of our nation.
Whoever insults the President insults the
nation. Suppose Mr. Johnson was to visit
Canada, and the British forts should refuse to
honor him with a salute, or pay him any defer
ence, would there be a man in the States who
would not be deeply indignant at such a recep
tion of the President 1 We hope not. We feel
sure that an insult offered the Chief Executive
by aforeigner would be repelled byall the nation,
without distinction of party. Yet if such
would be our conduct then, why Bhould we
show that very disrespect which we
would not tolerate from others? Are
we like the Irishmann who would not
let anybody knock his friend down except
himself? What a ridiculous attitude we
assume before Europe, in affording a prece
dent which we will not allow others to follow I
It is due to our self-respect, if not to our
respect for Mr. Johnson, that we extend to him
the hospitalities of our city; and we fuel con
fident that when the bitterest radical calmly
thinks over the question, there will be a
unanimous assent to the action of Councils.
Colonel Page, who, although opposed to us in
politics, possesses a vast fund of that rare
article in Councils common sense well ex
pressed the whole subject when he said that
he "was sorry that there had been any discus
sion on the subject. We owe respect to the office,
irrespective of the person who may fill it." We
are glad to see on the passage of the resolu
tion there were but three votes in opposition
thoso of Messrs. Fox, Shermer, and Stokley.
How to Recover funds.
It is positively instructive to see how Common
Council gets out of doing the right thing in the
right way. It will be remembered that it was
recently discovered In the returns made by
the Aldermen and Committing Magistrates
that, with but a few exceptions, none had
turned over to the City Treasury the fines col
lected by thorn, which belonged to the city
by law. This proce3S of pocketing has
been going on for years. When the election
of these officers came up yesterday, Select
Council passed a sensible bill, making all those
who had failed to pay up ineligible to re-eleo-tion,
and directing the City Solicitor to Ustl
tute proceedings against them. By this law
much good could be accomplished. In the
first place, our city would be rid of dishonest
officials, and at the same time the strongest
inducements would be held out for the officers
to hand over the funds, in order to be eligible,
whlchj-if they did not, the Solicitor would
commence suit. This law was eminently sen
sible and efficient; when it reached Common
Council it waa laid on the table, aud the fol
lowing adopted:
"That the City Solicitor be and he la hereby
Instructed ami lilrtcleil to Institute au Inquiry
us to the amount of flues, penalties, aud ousts
due and uupald by the police or ooiiiiuluiun

proceedings. Meanwhile, the tnrn who are to
be toed as diehonest are reflected to their old
positions! A man who is no far fal.e as to
have to be wied is yet worthy of a continuance
iu office! Such is the logio of Common Conn,
cil. It adopted the weakest half of the Select
Council ordinance, and had it sent back to the
other chamber, where it will not be acted on
until next week. And this, in the estimation
of the members, is the most effectual way of
recovering embezzled fundi! To complete the
farce, it should have been referred to the Com
mittee on Law.
How It la Done.
When some member of Councils is so far for
getful of the customs of those bodies as to
introduce a bill really demanded for the public
good, and which in its action does not tend to
enrich the favorites of any of our city fathers,
the majority are placed in a remarkably un
fortunate condition. They are determined not
to sacrifice their personal feelings for the
public benefit, yet at the same time they dare
not vote against the bill, bcoause of the med
dling interlopers of the press, who do not
hesitate to let their constituents know all
about their actions. In this dilemma, a rue
is adopted, which saves their feelings and
wards off the indignation of the people they
are supposed to represent. It is discovered
that the bill must be investigated on some
legal points, and so it is moved
that it be referred to the Committee on Law if
its death is neoessary, or to some other legisla
tive cremetery if it is not of vital importance
that it bo killed. When once in the hands of
the Committee, we never hear anything more
of it. If the mover of the resolution calls for
his offspring, the Chairman reports progress,
and the bill is thus omitted without attracting
too great attention from the public Now this
plan is worse than a deliberate defeat, because
it shows that the members are not only untrue
to their constituents, but also that they are
cowards. They dare not defend their own
actions, yet have not publio spirit enough to
yield their bitter personal prejudices to the
requirements of the city.
As long as thi3 device was used in an excep
tional case we did not object, but when we
see it not only a daily but an hourly practice,
and when all legislation is transferred from
Councils, where the press is admitted, to a
Committee which sits with closed doors, we
do most earnestly protest agaiust such a
shirking of responsibility. ""Within a few
weeks we have had too many instances of
this choking off of bills. The Board of Health
appropriation was sent to a special committeei
which failed yesterday to report. The motion
was merely another way of defeating what is
imperatively demanded, and we brand such
legislation as false and cowardly. The city is
in danger of disease, and her Councils,
because of personal spite against the Board
of Health, refuse to Bupply the money to
render us safe. They dare not defeat the
bill, so they send it to a committee, and that
is the end of it. The case of F. A. Van Cleve,
two weeks since, was treated in the
same manner. Without a shadow of legal
right to his ill-gotten place, he is allowed to
hold it, because Mr. Wagner, or some other
accessory, is unwilling to report the bill.
Yet the Committee on Law signed a report
tun days ago, and there have been two meet
ings since. It is time that we have some re
form in this mode of legislation. It is proper
to send a legal question to a committee, in
order to prevent crude and illegal aotion, but
it is not necessary to send such a motion as
the Board of Health appropriation. Let the
law be so amended that every committee is com
pelled to report at the next meeting. If it re
quires more time, lot the question be re
ferred once more to it, if Councils think
more time is necessary. But let us do away
with this cowardly committee system now
in vogue. It is quite time some new device
be invented to kill good bills. The old one
has worked too long. Let Wagner and Van
Cleve concoct something now, for the present
plan has grown to be offensive to the people.

Ons Modkbn Babbarism. The disgraceful
and disgusting prize-fight which came off yes
terday between two roughs, near Aqula creek,
Virginia, is another instance of the barbaric
tendency of a certain class of our
people, and the utter laxity of law.
The details of this bloody affair we pub
lished as a matter of news. But there are
some facts which need investigation. It was
well known all over the country that this
affair was about to come off, and an amphi
theatre was erected to accommodate three
thousand people. An Alderman of our city,
William McMullen, was referee, and the per
formance was witnessed by a number of the
officials at Washington. No attempt was made
to interfere with the exhibition by the authori
ties of Virginia. The affair had a semi-legal
aspect, and was as safe and uninterrupted as a
Spanish bull-fight. It is time that such exhi
bitions be stopped. It is necessary that an
example be made of some few of those who
engage in or countenance such evasions of law
and decency, and we hope that the Governor
of Virginia will see that the combatants and
some of the witnesses are punished, and that
severely.
f migration to Liberia. WL ile the tide of
immlgi atlon is bringing thousands from Europe
to the United States, a new Impela has been
given to the emigration of blacks to the pros
perous joung republic ol Liberia, in Afiica.
K'ne hundred and tblrty-four emigrants have
le't the United States for Liberia within seven
months. They went from seven States, Tenn
gylvanla, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Curolina, and Tennessee. About twenty
trades were reprecnted. There were 6 en
gineers, 5 coopers, 10 blacksmiths, 15 shoe
makers, 19 carpenters, 14 bricklayers, aud 109
farmers, etc. Of the emigrants 217 were mem
