THE NEGRO VOTE A3 A POLITICAL BALANCE OF POWEU. From the N. Y. Herald. Before the adjournment of the present Session of Congress a law will doubtless he Sussed providing for the enforcement of the fteemn amendment; that is, in ordor to secure the equal right to the blaok man to Tote in all our political elections in every Btat4 and Territory of the Union. Meantime, it ia reported from Washington that the Executive Committee of the Union League of America, Governor Geary, "of Pennsyl vania, and ex-Goveruor Newell, of New Jer sey, are engaged in organizing a plan of voting under the fifteenth amendment, with a view of securing to the Republican party the entire colored vote of the country, and that they have called upon the President and the heads of departments to aid them in their work. But how is it with the Democracy ? Under the present aspect of things, and from the results of numerous local elections in which this new Toting eloment has been admitted ainoe the proclamation of the fifteenth amendment, the bulk of the African Tote of the North is good for General Grant and the liepublican party. Indeed, we think, that from the . .conspicuous part which ho has played in behalf of this amendment, and in behalf of politioal equality, regardless of color, in his official appointments, that he is good as a Presidential candidate against any opposing candidate for the colored vote of the North and South almost en maxsc. From 1 resent appearanoes in the autumn eleotions i. f this year for the next Congress it is proba 1 le that the liepublican party (representing Grant as he represents the party) will, with the aid of the negro vote, carry New Jersey, make some important gains in New York (if they do not recover the State), increase their majority in Pennsylvania, and hold their own in all the other States of the North. Among the late border slave States they may perhaps revolutionize Delaware and Maryland, and go a great way even to upset the forty thousand Democratio majority which, on the white basis, is given by Kentucky. The late Connecticut election has shown that the fifteenth amendment has caused no losses to the Republican party of the white vote. The Republicans, in fact, are rather disposed to court Sambo as an ally than to repel him as an enemy. But the question till remains to be answered, how is it with the Democracy? They proved last summer in Virginia what they can do with the colored balance of power in the South if they try. The Democracy of the South, embracing the land owners, planters, merchants, etc., npen wham the blacks must rely for employment, have the means in their hands for winning over the negro balance of power in every Southern State in their elections for the next Congress. Nor can we imagine that they will throw their advantages away in fighting such old Southern windmills as a war of races or negro domination. We dare say that the Southern whites have heretofore looked npon this thing of negro suffrage as a temporary radical punishment and nuisance, soon to be removed after the restoration of each of the States concerned to the full control of its local affairs. But this fifteenth amendment extinguishes all an oh calculations, and so, with the . fixed fact of negro suffrage before them under the supervision of Con gress, we expect that the Southern Demo cracy will not be long in comprehending the advantages of a political alliance with the blacks. Throughout the North we have seen, in the colored celebrations of the fifteenth amend ment, that all parties and all classes of the whites gracefully aocept the situation. This is a very remarkable fact, considering the late widely prevailing and apparently inourable prejudices of even our Northern whites against negro political equality. Among the first acts in January last of our present Democratio Legislature at Albany was the resolution rescinding this State's ratification of the fif teenth amendment a repeal which was passed by a strict party vote. The other day, how ever, a resolution making the election laws of the State conform to said amendment was passed by the Senate with but One dissenting voioe. The amendment had become "the supreme law of the land," and the Democracy in our Legislature, after fighting it to the last ditch, bow to its authority as the law. We have seen, from the recent action of the Democrats in other places, that where a chance Is offered for winning an election they are ready not only to cultivate the negro voter, but to vote for a negro candidate. Prom all these things we may woll exclaim, was there ever so great a difficulty so quietly settled as this lute difficulty of negro suf frage? The Northern Democracy, then, are already in a fair way to win a good share of the negro vote, and as a political balance of power they may neutralize it in many districts in the coming elections for the next Congress. But until the party shall have adopted a new platform, in accordance with the new order of things, they will hardly bo able to shake the Republican ascendancy North or to gain any advantage South of any practioitl value in Congress. Tammany Hall, after her late decisive and important victories in the recon struction of our city government, is in a fjooi position to take the initiative for a national reorganization of the Democrutic party, look ing to the next Congress and the next Presi dency; and it would be a good stroke of policy on the part of Tauiuiauy to avail her self of an early opportunity to defioe her position in abandoning the dead issues of the past and in accepting uegro political equality with the new order of things, and in meet ing fairly and squarely the living issues of tke day. . TOO MANY BUREAUS. From the St. Louie Democrat. It seems that Secretary Boutwell is opposed to making St. Louis a port of entry, and has written a letter to the Senate Committee on Commerce recommending, instead, that a bureau be established in the New York Cus tom House especially for collecting the duties on and forwarding Western goods. A bureau forsooth ! as if we had not far too many bu reaus already. One of our greutest present evils is that we are governed too much. Why cannot Congress give the people of St. Louis and the Mississippi Valley the privilege of .regulating their own trade and governing ; themselves a little Are we to be kopt ia , leading strings to New York bureaucrats like helpless incompetents who do not know what ; they want? The trouble with Secretary Bout , well is that his travels having been mainly ' confined to the route between Groton, ! Massachusetts, and Washington City, he fails to realize the extent of this country or the ' temper or wants of the Western people. We don't want a bureau or any trumpery trash of the nor!; tvM. th" privilege of using the I MitONKiji.i rwer nod ihe noean freely for the advniitiit til trmli', and if Congress will only imsH a law removing restrictions and regu lating the details, we will conform to the law. We can iinttgitie how this bureau-hatching procces went on. The Senate Committee on Commerce referred our memorial to be made a port of entry to the Soorotary of the Trea sury for examination and report; of course having a "JJurenu of Commerce and Naviga tion'' in his department, be must know what we want better than we do ourselves. Mr. Boutv ell glances over it, and finding that it does not relate to Massachusetts interests, trips a little bell and sends our memorial to the Assistant Secretary. This official reads it at his leisure, and transmits it without any indorsement to the chief clerk. The chief clerk is out getting luncheon, and the me morial is thrust into a pigeon-hole, where it remains unnoticed for several weeks. Oneday, when looking for a tooth-pick, the O. C. finds the document, runs his eye over it lazily, writes on it ''for examination and report," and rings a bell. Four boys upring to the summons and jointly carry the memorial to the Com missioner of Customs. This aged and very respectable official, who, if he knew anything about navigation, might readily pass for an 'Ancient Mariner," receives the paper so lemnly. He gives ten minutes to reading the indorsement, two minutes to the oon tents, and then sends it to the chief clerk of his bureau. In due course of time this indi vidual refers it to the sub-bureau (it is reach ing a crisis now) of Commerce and Naviga tion. He refers it, in turn, to the "clerk in charge," who gives it to one of his subordi nates, a twelve hundred dollar clerk from Maine, who sneers at the West and resolves to snub St. Louis for wishing to be the capi tal. Ho be spends a weeK in preparing an un favorable report, and recommends the estab lishment of a new buroau in New York to meet the wants of St. Louis. He gives this to the head of division, who sends it to the chief clerk, who hands it to the Commissioner of Customs, who refers it to the chief clerk of the department, who gives it to the Assistant Secretary, who respectfully transmits it to Mr. Boutwell, with a letter written out for him to sign, sending It back to the Senate committee, with the unfavorable report. The Secretary does not know where the report comes from, but sees no occasion to differ with the main clerk, and so the memorial is returned to the Senate committee, and they become possessed of Mr. Boutwell'a deliberate judgment on the subject. We trust that Congress will deal with the matter in a more practical and liberal spirit, and give us what we ask for; but for heaven's sake no more bureaus. JOnN BANCROFT DAVIS BRIBED WITH SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. from the fl. T. Sun. Mr. J. C. Bancroft Davis, Assistant Secre tary of State of the United States, and long a director in the Erie Railway Company, and law partner of Dorman B. Eaton, has hitherto been generally regarded as a respectable man. Reoent developments, however, show that his good reputation has been undeserved, and that, like many other men who for a time have enjoyed public esteem and confidence, he is no better in some respects than the most notorious rogues. A committee of the .Massachusetts Legisla ture bas just been oooupi in investigating the affairs of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Railroad Company, and that investigation has led to startling disclosures of venality and professional treachery on the part of Mr. Davis. Mr. John S. Eldridge, President of this company, testifies that he got himself elected President of the Erie Railway Com pany, and that bribery was employed for the purpose, the money being paid by the Bos ton, Hartford, and Erie Company. His object in thus putting himself at the head of the Erie Company was to obtain from it, for the bene fit of the Boston, Hartford; and Erie, favor able contracts for freight, as well as pecu- cuniary assistance towards completing the Boston. Hartford, and Erie road. Mr. El dridge also testifies that in bringing about these results he had the aid of Mr. J. C. B. Davis, who was then and long had been one of the directors of the Erie Company; and that he paid Davis $00,000 as a bribe for his co-operation. "Mr. Davis," he says, "was to draw the oontracts and aid ns in carrying them through." On a further examination, Eldridge explained that Davis, while a director of in the Erie Company was also a trustee the mortgage, of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie. The pecu niary aid which the Boston, Hartford, and Erie obtained from the Erie with the help of Davis was in the shape of a guarantee by the Erie Company of five millions of the bonds for which Davis was a trustee; and of the $00,000 paid by Eldridge to Davis, one-sixth part of the bribe was paid as compensation for his services as such trustee. The remain ing $50,000 of the bribe was paid to Mr. Davis for his services in securing this guar antee, and making other arrangements be tween the two companies for the benefit of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie Company; that is to say, Mr. Davis, while a director in the Erie Railway Company, took a bribe of $;0,000 to betra y their interests by carrying through an arrangement which has already resulted in the loss of millions to the Erie Railway stockholders, and may result in the loss of millions more. This charge, it will be observed, is not made upon hearsay, but is the Bworn testi mony of John S. Eldridge, late President of the Erie Company, and the principal manager of the Boston, Hartford, and Erie. It is the evidence, under oath, of one of the principal parties to the transaction, taken in a public examination, and already blazoned abroad through the Massachusetts press. In view of these facts, established by sworn testimony and uncontradicted, we re spectfully ask of the Congress of the United States and we ask it in the name of the American people how long this man Davis shall be permitted to remain the Assistant Secretary of State of the United States? THE DISGRACE OF INDIANA-THE DI VORCE LAW. Prom the -V. 1'. Time. The triul of McFarland will have one good i t fleet, if no other, in arousing pnblio atton j tion to the disgraceful nature of our State I legislation with regard to divorce, and espo i riully of the Indiana divorce laws. Tho I State of Indiana occupies now, in the mat I ter of popular wealth, internal improvements, and the intelligence and refinement of large bodies of its citizens, a front rank among the States of the Central West. Y'et, in an evil dnv, she has admitted into her code a law which has made the fair name of the State a by-word of disgmce, and which offends the eulighted conscience of all Chris tendom. By Indiana law a resident of another State, having taken up a temporary abode in that Statu and presented a claim for divorce on the iuot trivial grounds, can, if the judge so decide, be at once freed from the bonds of matrimony. A man in New York beooniiug tired of his wife, or a wife preferring some more wealthy or attractive suitor, .n, on going out to Indianapolis and spending a pleasant winter, and giving notioe in some obscure pnper, be henceforth at liberty to follow "elective affinities" and marry agnin. It is true that our courts have decided that such divorces, unless sufficient notice be nerved on the other party, or both parties unite in the petition, are not good in law. Still the community do not mind these decisions clergymen do not regard them, and such divorces are held here as legal and proper. We venture to say that if tho Indiana legislators desire to sap publio morality, sub stitute concubinage for marriage, degrade women, And brood a weak and puny race of children, they could take no more effioient means than by thus making the marriage tie a farce and divorce an amusement. We already know of young couples that enter into marriage here as they might form a partnership f er a dance. They know it can be almost as easily broken by a Western court. The high sanctity of that tie which has been an inheritance of oar raoe since tho time of Taoitus, and more than anything else bas given the leadership of the world to the Germanio peoples, and whioh has been rendered, if possible, more sacred by the teachings of Christianity, is now trampled in the dust and made a vulgar thing in the eyes of our young men and women by suoh legislation as this of Indiana. In this matter, fortunately, the interests of the State and the teachings of physical phil osophy agree with the instructions of Christ Divorces for but one or two strong reasons, and a marriage for "poverty and wealth," "good and evil" till death separates, is the teaching of both political economy and Christianity. THE TEARING TRAGEDIAN. From the (Htwinnati Gazette. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, performed his great tearing act in the House the other day, in the course of the tariff debate. He held up a piece of heavy coating cloth, whioh he said was imported from England, ia order to show what stuffs she would sell to our people unless they were prohibited to buy, His dramatio voice and manner are well known.- He orates the best worn platitudes and tne shallowest fallacies in Forrestian tones. He took a tragic attitude, like Kirby when he wraps the American flag about him in his great dying act He held np the Bri- usn ciotn Deiore mm, and gesticulated at it, as "JttacDetn to tne airdrawn dagger. In ro tund tones he called attention to its thickness and seeming strength. Rising with rhetorioal fervor, he opprobnously denounced it as a combination of shoddy and cow's hair. Tear ing tragio passion to tatters, he suited the action to the word and tore the fabric in twain; and, with veins swelled and utterances thick with dramatio rage, he exclaimed: "It is rotten rotten as it was when the material was carried from the lazar houses of Smyrna to the shoddy fields of London to be manu factured. And then turning the tempest. the whirlwind of his theatrical passion upon Air. uox, no exclaimed, witn inchoative firmer: "The gentleman from New York asks ns to give facilities for the admission of such fa brics." But there was a method in all this dramatio madness. Anybody could tear Mr. Kelley's shirt, or bis trowsers, or coat in the aatuo way. Rhetorically he is always tearing his start, urns oiotn costs, Air, iirooks said. about 72 cents a yard in cold, and weighs SJ 1-5 pounds a yard. The proposed duty is r0 cents a pound and .15 per cent, ad valorem. making $iot a yard, equal to iuo per cent. This is meant to be prohibitory. And what then ? The American manufacturer will have the whole field for his shoddy and other coarse wool and hair fabrics, at his own price. And there is no manufacturer handier with shoddy than the Amerioan. By this duty, which with its commissions and the premium on cold Will reach $2 and tinward. he will be enabled to charge $3 for a worse article. Why should any American manu facturer desire to improve his fabrics, or to make a good article, or to invest any capital in improving his machinery, when by means of legislation he can practise this robbery? It is this system that draws the energies of the favored manufacturers away from their business to the congressional lobby. 8PEOIAL NOTIOES.
