We said that, after debate, they had voted into their Constitution a clause recognizing . -tolored persons as competent, to appear as witnesses in Court. This was true ; hut they after wards grew affright at iheir boldness, • I. reconsidered , their action . ; and `referred the whole subject' to the - legislature of the State. The last Legi s lature, a few weeks agirdefeated a bill for this very purpose, mainly-upon the ground that the Consti tutional Convention, soon to meet, could more properly effect it. Thus these em bittered, defeated, rebellious men, whose souls are full of poison and hate, contin ue their petty otchemings to thwart na tional legislation, assert the explixied follies of the Slave era, and check the inevitable growth of liberty. Several circumstances have illustrated the true character of these men. they. refused, on. meeting,._to take the Oath of Office prescribed for them by the existing Constitution, because some of them could not hohestly swear they had not aided the rebellion ;:and they substituted a new oath which conveniently,onaittitl all refer ence to the past, and only required prom-. ises for the future—gladly taking this for office and power's sake, as they.had often done before, mentally reserving the sigh to breikit wheieyer expediency required They have insulted.khe nation by a pre, tentious re-assertion, of the worst dogmas haye incorporated into the de-nationalizing an, ries so prevalent beft which have been generally conceded to have been settled by the war, adversely to the theories. They have connived at the denial of the Constitutionality of the Emancipation decreed by the people of the United States ; and have encouraged the hope that Slavery might beore-eStab lished, or, that failing, that the; Govern ment would tax the resources of the Na tion for the payment of those , %vtio snf fered bObe overthrow of the "domestic institutionvhich had become literally a nursery for Traitors. They are opening the elective franchise to every Traitor who left the. State, joined the armies of Jen' Davis, and bathed his hands in the blood of{ men who were faithful to the flag, the Constitution, and the Nation ; and e meanly denying it to thousands of colored persons_who either served in the armies of the Union, or gave "aid and comfort" thereto. And this, for the char acteristic reason, as given= by one of their number, that "they could'inot enfranchise the negro in Maryland, as to do so would be to give control of UP. State to the Rad icals.", They have missed no oppoctu ; nity to try to wipe out the record of Ma ryland's loyalty throughout the war, and to flaunt their sympathy witn that "Lost Cause," Which embodied the most hate ful purposes for which men ever 4ought, and his gone to its grave beating the Ai tempt of every liberal spirit who treads the earth. These are the men whom Gov. y 5 wan n's .unparilleled baseness has thrown, for the moment, into the control of public affairs in Maryland. We observe that, in def. erence to- Gov. Swann, they have con cluded not to. I.4!urb his tenure of office. This is meet. Let Aim count his thirty pieces of silver, till lils-..kmr years have expired. Afterwards, he willhave time to hang himself. This despicable Convention cc>ii among its membership scarcely one per-, son known during the war as a Union man. All .were sympathizers with the Ind many of them so pub licly, that they were seized by the Gov ernment and confined that they :might be harmless. To-day, they are the gov erning power in the State of Maryland. Hut their power will be :temporary. Already, the Baltimore corre'spondent of the Charleston .114curg sees the signs of the coming of the day of wrath. Wire it shall come, - Treason shall no longer be respectable in Maryland ; Traitors shall no longer rule it ; and Maryland, a "republican form of government,"*ill resume her olden and honored place among her sisters. tfiii - The•Republkans of Beaver county have nominated.one of the best men in the State—THoAtAi4 Nicit oLS()).1 Esq., for Assembly. It, Is gratifying Co see a disposition manifested by the people to improve the character of our State Le_ gislature by' the nomination of upright and able men, who have been TESTED and PROVED to be beyondot he corrupting influences which have sadly demoralized legislation. Purity in the legislator is as indispen- s sable as intelligence. in the elector; and uo goverament can be considered stable in which unprincipled men are permit ted to wield the vast powers which are lodged In the hands of law-makers.

We rep—a these details in order to point them to the attention of, those cs4io feared that the blacks were to 6 ignorant and. stupid to know how to vt4 intelligently. It is now manifest that they know their friends from their enemies ; now who have enfranchised Ind proteilted them, and who have ma lii;ned and oppressed them.

Another i these ele(.t 101 South a nth p NN r toWn have Li he Leather universal suffrage is established, it turns out that Lids party was really a minority in both Cities. Many of the-Democrats in the Northern States affect great horror .at the colored men being allowed to vote. They were fit to light the littels in the field ; they were fit to go as stibstitutes for men who had no taste for the perils of battle; they were fit to help save a NatiOn'threatened with overthrow. 'But now that the Na tion has been saved and the men of the Rebel armies have laid aside the bullet and have resumed the power of the ballot, it is asserted that we ought not to give these faithful colored men an opportutity of meeting at the ballot-bOx the Rebel soldiers whom - they met on the battle field. It is insisted that we ought, rather, to trust our interests and fortunes to our-defeated enemies; and punish with perpotUal disfranchisement andliumilia tion the men who helped, at our urgent call, to work out, our safely. In the Sot 4, Democrats act differently. They an , endeavoring., by all the means in their power, to capture the votes of the colo:•ed citizen's They have employed Beverly Nash and other colored speakers to stu mp South Carolina and other South ern States in their interest ; and at this moment, the ctief aim of the Southern wing of the Dernoeratic party is to concil iate to their idea/5 the colored population.

A young man about twenty years of age fired a pistol at the Char. It would seem that the pistol was overloaded, and exploded, wounding the band of the assassin.

This is his second sesc.ape from assassination. ADDITIOSAL PARTICULAItS. Piknis, June 7,—A. 31.—The Moniteur publishes au official account of the firing at the Imperial carriage, in which the Czar of Russia and‘,Napolean were seated, and the at tempted assassination of the Czar. The state ment, which is' - very abort, confirms the re port transmitted through the cable yesterday morning. It is statel in the ifoniteur that the hall struck the fiend of the horse which carried one of the Imperial grooms in waiting, who was riding at the door of the carriage, and that 110 wttapon burst... The people in the crowd standing near the scene of the at tempt arrested the assassin, and the police in terti!red to save his life, which was threatened by the enraged populace. The man says his name is I3eregouski, and that he is a native of Volliyuia. Le Droit, in its issue, confirms the statement that the pistol burst, and says the assassin is a Polish mechanic, and that he purehased a double-barrelled pistol in - le city on Wednesday, June 5. The newspapers also - states that his motive appears to have origina ted from personal hatred to the Czar, directed by political passion. It is believed that the asssassin had no accomplices. .—P. 3L—The riazette des that the groom in waiting, y the door of the Imperial g_al.,the menacing movement of the man in the cr , v4.land instantly caused his horse to bound a little.forward, so as to place him directly betwee An and the sovereigns. The ball ugh the space formed bet weeneNapoleon and'une of the Grand Dukes, son of the Czar, woundins a lady who was standing. opposite to see the cortege pass. The blood front the head of the groom's horse spirted on the uniforms 'of the imperial party. The man attempted to fire a second shot, but this discharge burst the se cond barrel of his pistol. At this moment shouts of `' Vire C Etapereurr and Vice le Crf tr!" went up from the crowd. The man immediately on his arrest said lie came from Belgium two days since with the intention and for the purpose of killing the Czar. The Paris ,S'ire/e, in its account of the affair, says that the man himself states that he had nose complices. The press of Paris is unanimous in its condemnation of the murderous attempt. Pasts, June 7.—Evening.—lt is said that after the attempt upon the life of the Emperor of Russia, Napoleon, turning to the Czar and smiling said : "Sire, we have been under tire together." The Czar replied : "Our destinies are in the hands of Providence." A letter, signed by several Poles, expressing the sorrow and reprobation that the dastardly act inspires in the minds of a'.l Poles, and a similar letter from General Samoyski, have been published. Some of the Czar's suite have adviSed his re turn at once to Russia. but he said he would not. The assassin was examined to-day.— He spoke with coolness, and gave his history. He is a Pole, an instrument maker, and has lite(' latterly on his savings and on money given to - the Polish refugees. He was asked, "How could'you fire at a sovereign, the guest if France, trim nourished you ?' He replied with tears, "True, I committed a great crime oward France." "But you ran the risk of killing Napoleon . - To this the prisoner answered "No; a. Pol kJ,' bullet could not go astray. It must go Arcklit when aimed at the Czar. I wished to relic the world of the Czar and the Czar of the reinOrse ... which must weigh upon him." The prisoner,4otred no sorrow for the crime he had attempted to commit, and only expressed regret at hisl'ailre. The grand re view was the most brilliant - eKe , r witnessed in France. Over 80,000 infantry, `cavalry and artillery passed in review. Napoleon•vas ac cornpanied;ythe Czar, the kill. of Pr e,, the Crow rince of Prussia, the Grand Duke. Alexander and Waldimer of Russia, the sons of the Czar, together with a large and briliant staff composed of officers from all nations, a mong them several Americans. The Imperial party arrived on the field at 2 o'clock The day was pleasant. 400,000 spectators, it Is estimated,, were present. The toilettes of the ladies were splendid, and the equipages were magnificent. The Empresk witnessed the re view from the Imperial box at Longchamps. With her were the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, the Princess Royal Victoria of Prussia, the Prince Imperial and the mother of the Tycoon of Japan: All were in good health and fine spirits. The enthusiasm was intense. Never has „Paris witnessed a more magnificent spectacle , than was presented at this meeting of the great monarchs of the world.

Although the prisoner was much excited last evening, he fo-cla r y , appeays cool and ,:ol leeted. lie does not regret the act nor his bwn suffering, but lab:lents the publicity and shame- which it must bring upon his wife, whom he describes as a high-spirited woman. The wife of the prisoner and her brother-in law, John L. Cuyler,', arrived . here Yesterday afternoon, from Syracuse, at 4i, Mrs. Cole taking room No. 165,; and Mr. Cuyler room No. b;; Delavan House, They were,on their way to Brooklyn. h. Cole arrived at the hotel at f; o'clock, but from whence Was not known to the clerk. The time of the 'arrival ould indicate the Ncvv York train. Ile did not exhibit any excitement. He prefixed the name "Dr. and" before the name of his wife on the re.fiiter, and called for a double room, the one engaged by his wife being a single one. He subsequently, however, sent word down that the one ahleady secured would an swer. There seems but little doubt that the murder was premeditated. !got only was Cole heavi ly armed, but one fact which did not transpire at the Coroner's inquest adds to this belief.-- tpon returning to Sttinwix Hall on Tbesdff evening, after the draWing for seats, M. His cock found mnote for him from a lady, , making an appointment to meet him. He mentioned it to a friend, remarking that it was tcio late to keep the appointment when he received the note. This was less than half an hour previ ous to the murder, and it is asserted that Mrs. Cole was the writer. Later developments tend to show that Mrs. Cole came oil to Albany to warn HiscOck of her hubsandis intention to kill him, and sent him a note which arrived too late to be of service in making an appointment to meet him. Frank Hiscock, a brother of the deceased, arrive here early this morning from Syracuse, and with a number ot ✓ friends will return in the 1.15 P. M. train with the remains, which have been packed in ice. Mrs. Cole telegraph ed to San Francisco last night to her husband's brother, the United States Senator from Cali fornia. This morning she visited her husband in jail. Between 9 aiid 10 o'clock Gen. Cole sent for ex-Lientenant-Governor Sanford E. Church and William J. Hadley, the t well known criminal lawyer of this city, arfd they made a brief visit profesitionally. • June 8, the prisoner was committed to answer the charge of murder. UNIVERSAL SCFFRAGO. IN .11.ANSA.S. —The his tory of the movement for universal suffrage in Kansas is briefly as follows : The Legisla ture, at its last winter' session, submitted two amendments of the State Constitution Ito the people. The first, to strike the word l'white" from the Constitutiol passed the Senate by a vote of 17 to 7, and he Ho urlt by 66 to 15 second, to strike ; out the word "male," pas • • he Senate 17 tO 7, and the House by 62 to 20. effect of this amendment, if adop ted by the eof this State, is to give the suffrage to womettOn the 2d of April a mass convention assembled* Topeka, organized a State Impartial Suffrage 'aim, to advo cate both amendments. T aesoelation has begun a vigorous catiVass ofthe)Sytte. nifty five meetings have been held hi fortilegunties. Large audiences have lbeen present, am leave almost unanimously expressed tharutelves favor of both amendments. That giving the right to vote to women seems to be the more popular tithe two. Of the news Papers pub lished in the State, fourteen favor this amend ment, five oppose it, and the rest are undecided. Nine mass conventions are advertised for the month of September.lilleetings are to be held during the cahvass in every voting precinct.— The great body of the Republican party in the State will vote for biotit amendments. 4 The vote on theamendtnent takes place on the 6th ofNovember.

The cattle of the terrible air *as the ex plosion of a steam boiler, th e Oreby setting fire to a large steam, saw-mill, anll levelieg in a feW moments, , the entire apructure to the ground. . I It occurred in Messrs. Greasy Sz Wales steam saw-mill which is situated between Tenth and Eleventh and Sansom and Medical streets. The building fronts on Samson street, and runs hack to Medical street, a small street about half way between Walnut and Sansom streets : That portion of the mill fronting on San'stom street is a two-story brick structure used as a storage place and for office purposes. Directly to the rear of this building is a sort of basement, in which were located two boil ers ,used for the purpose of supplying steam to the saw-mill. To the rear again of those boilers was a five-story brick building used as the saw-mill and occupied in every part, ex cept the fourth story, by Messrs. Greasy Ward, the fourth story being used by Miller & Co., who were were engaged iu preparing blocks for calico printing. The fifth story or main building belonged to the Graham estate. It appears that about four o'clock yesterday afternoon the engine ceased wprking, and the engineer went to King's Machine shop, to ob tain the necessary material to pack the cylin der. Over an hour was spent. in this packing process, and the engine was again started. The enzineer made some remarks to the fireman, about the engine, when the latter said the en gine was going with only a pound of steam on. A few momenta after this the boiler ex ploded with terrific effect, creating such a re port that it could bodistinctly heard for squares around. So violent was the explosion that the boiler was rent from end to end and coth pletely destroyed. The three of the explosion broke down the northern wall of the rive-story building and .in a .few moments the entire, structure was a heap of ruins and a mass of flames. Just before the building fell, flames were seen issuing from the third floor. Im mense flames of black smoke arose and envel oped not only the entire building hut the im mediate neighborhcxxl. At the time of the catastrophe there were about thirty workmen engaged in the building, all of whom were precipitated into the chaotic mass caused by the explosion, and with not a moment's warning to effect an escape. It is impossible to tell at pressent exactly how many were killed or wounded, but ten bodies were taken out of the ruins during last night, and the search continued by the noble firemen all night. SEARCH FOR TUE ROUTES The firemen were on the ground with great promptness, and as soon as it became under stood that so many human beings were in the burning mass, they labored with the most praiseworthy zeal to rescue the sufferers. The task was attended with great difficulty, for al though the fire was got under about seven o'clock, and did not extend to surrounding property. it Was only by dint of sawing through joist and removing heavy obstructions that the bodies, some of which could be seen and othdrs heard, could be got at. Dpring the early part of the evening enough progress had been made in clearing away the debris to reach same of the dead bodies, al though one, dead body and some three or four persons who were seriously injured were got out while the fire was raging. LATER. —Up to Saturday evening, 22 dead bodies were Islam from the ruins, and $ per sons are still missing. Seven were wounded. A Ceostwai.t is COLOMBIA. — The- 'United States of Colombia appear to be in a very un settled and unsatisfactory condition. Mos uueaA, the President, cannot agree with the Congress, and he has taken the usual South American remedy for his troubles, by over duo wing the CongTes, putting the members under arrest, and declaring himself Dictator. He has declitred the Republic to be in a state of war; that the Senators and Reelresentatives are traitors to the &mntry, and he has recon stituted the Supreme Court so as to suit his own views. Whilst doing all which upsets the authority of the States in the central gov ernment, he has issued-an address to the oft -tars of those States, assuring them that he will preserve peace and secure their rights.— That much being prolaised, he invites them to elect new Senators and Congressmen, to help him to carry the Government in his own style. The Static; have not yet responded ; but inasmuch as, their members in the Colom bian Congress have been violently deprived of their franchises, it is not likely that there will be any marked enthusiasm in favor of obedi ence to the command. A war between . the States and the Federal Government seems in evitable; and, in that case, as the Federal Government cannot. be sustained without the support of the States, the prospect does not seem very promising for the Dictittor.—Phil.

Esq., was President of the meet• ing, and Capt. A. M. lirrirEs. Secretary. The Report of the operations of last year was read and as follows: THE ANNUAL REPORT. During the past year the BOard of Mana gers have made an effort to :edam the debt of the Association, by soliciting the surren der of Stock, and also subscriptions by Lot holders payable either in money or • by the surrender of notes heretofore given by the Association, to holders of Stock in exchange *for their certificates, as also notes given to the several Congregations in lieu of their stock subscribed, with a view to a proyision for the burial of t heir poor. We are pleased to be able to report, that we have 'Met with very good success, and that we feel satisfied that more time being devoted to the enterprise, much more ialuld be accoinplished. Our ettOrt has, thus far, resulted in secur ing the surrender to the Association, of notes given in exchange for certificates of Stock, and also or original certificates of Stock, amounting together to $741.:.:3, and of obtain ing subscriptions to amount of 0404.56, mak ing a total of 01,145.79, which deducted trout the aggregate amount of debt reported last year ,:,4,907.1i2, with the interest since accrued Making reduces thhg debt. to $1,989.2S and itt Mill Mull to the above 6 Shares ofStock have been surrendered in the purchase of lots amounting with interest to $91.70. The Board have an earnest convietion that toe surviving friends of those wile are in terred in our Cemetery, should not permit that saered ground to remain longer inetim wred by a debt, but should it once resolve united effort to liquidate ant extinguish the indebteoness, It is whelp• luipractieaule to accomplish this rnmi the funds to he obtained from the ',lle 01 lots. By reicrence to the books it appears that the entire receipt-:, both from sales of lots and in nn pertnits for interuleuts, have been Lanny sllftieient to pay current annual ex— reuses. The Board therefore encouraged by their pastUccess, are hopeful that the consumina tion-sO much to be desired, needs only a little more active work and earliest co-operation of all those who are interested in the preser vation and succeNs of ever-green Cemetery, in order- to wholly extinguish the debt, and cancel the This done and thus relieved from the payment :it interest, a fund wit at Once begin to accumulate, to be applie:Uo ineproving the grounds, and furnish new en closures.
