FOR GOVERNOR,
Maj. Gen. John W. Geary,
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY
THE very first thing the freedmen
have sought, after liberty, is education.
Give them suffrage, and they will
Make their first use of it to promote in
telligence. The Civil Rights law hav
ing given them all the other rights of
citizenship except the suffrage, when
that is granted the question most like
ly to be asked by the freedmen of can
didates soliciting their votes is whoth•
er, if elected, they will favor such a re
form in the school laws as will afford
black children the same educational
advantages as are enjoyed by the
white childree. Still the nation ought
not to be content with this; but ought,
by the use of every legitimate power
of the Government, to create .and sus
tain a general, active and liberal sys ,
torn of public schools throughout the
South, for the benefit of all classes and
conditions of society.
We would say, rather, give the
freedmen intelligence and he will then
be fit to be a voter. The Detroit Post,
from which we quote the above, shows
that utter ignorance prevails in the
South among the freedmen and the
white population both; and it attribu
tes to the ignorance of the attempt to
overthrow the Government. low does
the editor know that ignorance in the .
voting negro will not manifest itself in
some way dangerous to the public
good? On what ground can it be
claimed that the ignorance which has
proved so great a curse in the white
man will prove a safe thing on which
to base great expectations in the black
man ? To our mind, it is reversing the
logical order, to say, give the negro
suffrage and he will get education by
the use of it. Give him education first
and he will use the ballot for his own
and his country's good. We are not
disposed to credit the negro with a
larger share of native instinct for vo
ting wisely than tne average of white
men. We educated our youth to the
period of twenty one years before per
mitting them to vote, and unless sla
very is a better preparatory school for
voters than we have been taught to
suppose,wo think that freedmen should
not immediately clothed with the bal
lot. Foreigners are compelled to un
dergo a probation before voting, als
though their average intelligence is up
to the Mark which the freedmen, as a
class, will do well if they reach any
time within the next ten years. ft can
not be disputed that the majority of
the freedmen, under present impulse
and guidance, and on the issue of loyal
ty or disloyalty, would vote right,
bat what they will do ten or even two
years hence, when questions,end men,
too, have changed, is quite another
thing. Once voters, always voters;
and as we in the North go systematic ,
ally at work to gain control over the
ignorant and weaker classes, and as
we know that the stronger does pns.
seas the weaker—though the means
are not always reputable—so the infer
ence, if not the absolute certainty is,
that the negroes, to a large extent.
_ would, if not fortified by intelligence,
fall under the control of white politi•
cians and become their instruments.
We perceive not how, it is possible to
come to any other conclusion. It is the
inference drawn from experience
e v erywhere, in all countries, where suf
is exercised. If any lesson is taught
by experience, it is that suffrage with=
out intelligence has a strong tendency
to become corrupt, and that an enligh.
tened suffrage only is consistent with
the idea of stability.—Pitts. Com.

Letter from the West.
MONIMUTIt, ILL., May 16, 1866.
FRIEND LEWlS:—There is nothing of
much importance going on here now.
The farmers are busy planting their
corn, which is all done now by machi
nery, not one acre in fifty in our coun
ty being planted the old fashioned way,
cornplanting and tending being now
reduced to a science. Tho season, so
far, has been backward, though the
prospect now for a fruit crop is very
good. We dont raise much fruit here
except apples. There are some sour
cherries raised here but peaches do not
stand this climate well, though a hun
dred miles south of us they do very
well; apples generally do well with us.
Politics are at a stand. The war
between the President and the Radi
cals, which promised such glorious re
sults for the "Copperheads" not being
waged of late with sufficient vigor by
either party to suit them. Row it will
turn out remains to ho seen. It the
Johnson man and Radical wing in
Congress would only pitch into ono
another they would be delighted. In
this event they would only have to
stand back and enjoy the sport, and in
the end step in and secure what they
aro now hungering and thirsting for
very much, but the prospects of late
are not so flattering. I hope the Pre•
sident will not play into their hands
and that Congress will have the good
sense to see that the policy of insisting
on negro suffrage will not do. Some
of the radical papers seem to argue as
though it was a settled fact that uni
versal suffrage was a sure remedy for
all the ills that flesh is heir to, and
that if we only force the Southern
States to adopt that, then wo aro all
right and have nothing more to do or
hope for. Such may be the case, but
for my part I confess I don't see it.
Grandng universal suffrage where
the blacks and whites approximate
equality in numbers might not lead to
a war of races, but I would be afraid
to risk it, and if violence should ensue
among them the colored people must
suffer. But enough out the subj
If Congress and the President can get
together, while it will be as severe a
blow to Northern Copperheads as was
the surrender of Lee and Johnston,
still I hope such will be the case. This,
among Union men, should be no time
for crimination or recrimination. Our
glorious army crushed the military
power of the Southern Confederacy as
between the upper and nether mill
stones, in spite of their• allies amongst
us. It would be poor policy now to ,
turn the government over to the hands
of its enemies when victory has been
achieved. As to reconstructed rebels
I think with a little prudence on our
part and anything like fair promises
on their part, we may trust them.—
Many of them fought us openly and
manfully, and an open, manly enemy,
when he submits, can be trusted with I
safety. But those poor, pitiful--well
I hav'e no name for them, who acted
the part of traitors at home yet afraid
to go over to the rebels, I must be al.
lowed to doubt their honesty for some '
time yet, and respectfully ask that
they be required to take back seats for
a few years at least.
'Youre, &c ,
The Colorado Veto Message.
WASHINGTON, May Is.—The follow
lug is the President's message on the
Colorado bill :
To the Sonata of the United States:
I return to the Senate, in which
House it originated, the bill which has
passed both Houses of Congt'ess, enti
tled "An act for the admission of the
State of Colorado into the Union,"
With my objections to its becoming a
law at this time.
First. From the best information
which I have been able to obtain, I do
not consider the establishment of a
State government at present necessary
for the welfare of the people in Color
ado. Under the existing territorial
government all the rights, privileges
and interests of the citizens are pro
tected and secured. The qualified vo
ters choose their own legislators and
their own local officers, and are repre
sented in Congress by a delegate of
their own selection. They make and
execute their own municipal laws, sub
ject only to revision by Congress—an
authority not likely to be exercised
- unless in extreme or extraordinary ca
ses. The populotion is small,*some es
timating it so low as twenty five thou
sand, while advocates of the bill reck
on the number at from thirty five thou
sand to forty thousand souls.
The people are principally recent
settlers, many of whom are understood
to be ready for removal to other min
ing districts, beyond the limits of the
Territory,if circumstances shall render
them more inviting. Such a popula
tion cannot but find relief from exces
sive taxation. If the territorial sys
tem, which devolves the expenses of
the executive, legislative and judicial
departments upon the United States,
is for the present continued, they can
not but find the security of person and
property increased by their reliance
upon the national executive power for
the maintenance of law and order,
against the disturbances necessarily
incident to all newly organized com
munities.
Second. It is • not satisfactorily esta
blished that a majority of the citizens
of Colorado desire, or aro prepared for
an exchange of a territorial for a State
government. In September, 1864 un
der the authority of Congress, an elec
tion was lawfully appointed and held
for the purpose of ascertaining the
views of the people upon this particu.
lar question ; 6,192 votes were east,
and of this number a 'majority of 3,152
was given against the proposed change.
In Septembr, 1865, without any legal
authority, the question was again pre
sented to the people of the Territory.
with the view of obtaining a reconsid
eration of the result of the election held
in compliance with the act of Congress
approved March 218086.1. At this
second election 5,905 votes were polled
I and a majority of 155 was given iu fa•
vor of a State organization. It does
not seem to me entirely safe to receive
this last mentioned result, so irregular.
ly obtained, as sufficient to over weigh
the ono which had been legally obtain
ed in the first election. Regularity
nod conformity to law are essential to
the preservation of order and a stable
Government, and should, as far as
practicable, always be observed in the
lbrmation of new States.
Third. The admission of Colorado at
this time as a State into the Federal
Union appears to me to be incompati-
=
blo with the public interests of the
country; and while it is desirable that
Territories, when sufficiently matured,
should be organized as States, yet the
spirit of the Constitution seems to re
quire that there should be an approxi.
illation towards equality among the
several States comprising the Union.
No State can have less or more than
two Senators in Congress. The largest
State has a population of four millions;
several of the States have a population
exceeding two millions, and many oth•
ers have a population exceeding ono
million.
If this bill should become a law, the
poople of Colorado, thirty thousand in
number, would have in the House of
Representatives ono member, while
New York, with a population of four
millions, has but thirty-one. Colorado,
would have in the electoral college
three votes, while New York has only
thirty•threo. Colorado would have in
the Senate two votes, while Now York
has no more.
Inequalities of this character have
already occurred; but it is believed
that none bare happened whore the in
equality was so great.
When such inequality has been al—
lowed, Congress is supposed to have
permitted it on the ground of some
high public necessity, and under cir
cumstances which promised that it
would rapidly disappear through the
growth and development of the newly
admitted State. Thus, in regard to
the several States in what was former
ly the "Northwest Territory," lying
west of the Mississippi, their rapid ad•
vaneement 'in population rendered it
certain that States admitted with only
one or two representatives in Congress
would in a very short period. be enti
tled to a great increase of representa
tion. So, when California was admit
ted on the ground of commercial and
political exio:neics, it was well fore
seen that that State was ilestined rap
idly to become a great, prosperous,
and important mining and commercial
community. In the case of Colorado
I am not aware that any national exi
gency, either of a political or commer•
cial nature, requires a departure from
the law of equality which has been so
generally adhered to in our history.
It information submitted in connec—
tion with this bill is reliable, Colorado,
instead of increasing, has declined in
population. At an election for mem
bers of a territorial legislature held in
1861, 10,580 votes were cast. At the
election before mentioned, in 1864, the
number of votes cast was 6,192, while
at the irregular election held in 1665,
which is assumed as a basis for legis—
lative action at this time, the aggre—
gate of votes cast was 5,905.
Sincerely anxious for the welfa're and
prosperity of every Territory and
State, as well as for the prosperity and
welfare of the whole Union, I regret
this apparent decline of population in
Colorado ; but it is manifest that it is
duo to emigration, which is going on
from that Territory into other regions
within the United States, which either
are in fact, or aro believed by the in
habitants of Colorado to be, richer in
mineral wealth and agricultural re
sources. If, however, Colorado has
not really declined in population anoth
'er census or election, under the author
ity of Congress, would place the ques
tion beyond doubt, and cause but little
delay in the ultimate admission of the
Territory as a State, if dosir dd by the
people.
The tenor of these °Noe tions fur—
nishes the reply which may bo expec
ted to an argument in favor of the
measure derived from the enabling act,
which was passed by Congress en the
21st day of Alarch, 1864, although Con
gress then supposed that the condition
of the territory was such as to warrant
its admission as a State. The result
of the two years' experience shows thitt
every reason which existed for the in
stitution of a territorial instead of a
State government in Colorado at its
first. organization still continues in force.
The condition of the Union at the
present moment is calculated to in—
spire caution in regard to the admis
sion of now States. Eleven of the old
States have boon for some time and
still remain unrepresented in Congress.
UM
It is a common interest of all the
States, as well those represented, as
those unrepresented, that the integrity
and harmony of the Unidn should be
restored as completely as possible, so
that all those who are expected to bear
the burthons of the Federal Govern
ment shall be consulted concerning
the admission of new States; that in
the meantime no State stall be prema•
turely and unnecessarily admitted to
participation in the political power
which the Federal Government wields,
not for the benefit of any individual
State or section, but for? the common
safety, welfare and happiness of the
whole country

Governor Swann's Position.
Governor Thomas Swann, of Mary—
land, has recently written a letter, in
which ho denies his political position.
He says be is opposed to any division
of the Union party of Maryland, and
thinks the coursAl the Radical wing,
in calling a convention on May 29th,
injudicious, as the Union State Corn.
mittee had previously called a Conven
tion to meet on June 6th. He says he
is in favor of keeping the control of
the Government in the hands of loyal
men exclusively at all times; that he is
for the reconstruction of the Union by
the admission of the revolted States to
representation in Congress, provided
they elect mon of undoubted loyalty
prepared to take the test oath; that he
is prepared to trust the masses of the
Southern people, And "is utterly op
posed to universal negro suffrage and
the extreme radicalism of certain men
in Con g ress and in our own State, who
have been striving to shape the plat—
form of the Union party in the inter
ests of negro suffrage." He continues:
"I look upon negro suffrage, and the
recognition of the power in Congress,
as the virtual subordination of the
whole race to the ultimate control and
domination of the negro in the State
of Maryland."
Governor Swann adds that he is op
posed to the Freedman's Bureau bill,
bill, the Civil Rights bill, and to the
Reconstruction scheme of the Commit
tee of Fifteen, now before Congress.
The Baltimore American, to which the
letter is addressed, whilst it editorially
dissents from Governor Swann's views,
says: "All agree with him in his op
position to negro suffrage, as the ac
tion of every county convention of the
party proved in the last campaign,"

zoo ; without this construction of both
the first and second sections would do

proposed to strike out the third sec.
tion, disfranchising rebels, and make it"
the first section of a law which he pro
posed as a salistitufe for the several
bills reported. Ho would then make
the bill reported by the Committee, ex
cluding rebels from office, the second
section, and require each State to con
sent to the proposed exclusion from of
fice and disfranchisement. He said the
remainder of his proposed substitutes
give the alternative to the South to
ratify the constitutional amendment
with the proposed modifications con—
form their• constitutions and laws
thereto, and extend by amendments to
their• own constitutions and laws im
partial suffrage, as in his former 'prop
osition.
• This done by any State, such State
is to be admitted at once, without wait
ing for the adoption of the amendment
to the' Constitution by other States;
and universal amnesty is then to be
extended to the people of that State,
excepting only the President and Vice
President of the so called Confederate
States, heads of departments of United
States, and, members of the Thirty
sixth Congress who went into the re
bellion and those who maltreated Union
prisoners. The propositions submitted
wore ordered to bo printed.
In the House on Tuesday. Mr. Wli•
son, of lowa, obtained an order for the
printing of an amendment which he
proposed to offer as a substitute for
one of the bills reported by•the Com
mittee on Reconstruction.
The amendment is as follows : Strike
out all after the enacting clause in the
first section of House bill No. 513, and
insert the following:
Thfil, whenever the above recited
amendment shall have become a part
of the Constitution of the United States,
and any State lately in insurrection
shall have ratified the same, and shall
have modified its constitution and laws
in conformity therewith, the Senators
and Representatives from such State,
if found duly elected and qualified,may,
after having taken the required oaths
of office, be admitted into Congress as
such: Provided, That if any State,after
ratifying the said amendment and con•
firming its constitution and laws there
with, shall establish an equal and just
system of suffrage for all male citizens
within its jurisdiction who are not less
than twenty ono years of ago ; the Sen•
ators and Representatives from such
State shall be admitted as aforesaid
without being required to await the ac•
tion of other States on said amend.
ment : And provided further, That
nothing in this section contained shall
be construed as to require the disfran—
chisement of any loyal people who aro
now entitled to vote.
Wednesday, There was a spirited
little debate in the Rouse to-day
on the question of proceeding to take
up the bill reported from the Recon
struction Committee, prohibiting the
leading rebuls from holding office.
Thad. Stevens desired them postponed
until the Senate acted on the constitu
tional amendment, and intimated that
there would bo considerable de!ay,and
possibly a change in it, which would
necessitate a corresponding one on the
part of the House. Mr. Bingham be
came very earnest, and wanted the
House to go on at once, and place the
responsibility of delay and possible de
feat on the Senate. Mr. Price, of lowa,
said the constituents of every member
were demanding that Congress should
do something. He declared that the
people were tired of waiting. The
bills, however, were postponed for two
weeks.
It is given out in the Senate that
they will take up the Constitutional
Amendment next week.
In the Senate on Thursday, Anoth•
or amendment to the - House resolution,
proposing an amendment to tho Con
stitution, was offered. It provides that
no State shall abridge the privileges of
citizens of the United States, and that
no class of persons against whom disc
orimination as regards suffrage is made,
shall be entitled to bo counted as part
of the basis of representation.
General Grant on the Army.
The President sent a message to the
House enclosing the followingcommu
nication from Lieutenant General
Grant:

Sin : In view of the long delay in
the lower House of Congress, in agree
ing upon the plan of reconstruction of
the army suitable to our present re
quirements, and the urgent necessity
for early action, I aie induced to pre
sent the matter to you officially, and
to ask the attention of Congress to it,
believing that when they have the
matter fairly before them they will do
what should be done speedily.
At the present time settlements are
springing up with' unusual rapidity in
the district. of country between the
Missouri river and the Pacific ocean,
where heretofore the Indians were left
in undisputed possession. Emigrants
are pushing to those settlements and
to the gold fields of the Rocky Noun.
tains by every available highway. The
people flockin g to those regions are
citizens of the United States, and en•
titled to the protection of the Govern
ment. They are developing the rosour,
cos of the country to its great advan
tage, thus making it the interest as
Well as the duty to give them military
protection. This makes a much great
er force west of the Mississippi necess
sary than was ever heretofore requir
ed.
A small military force is required in
all the States lately in rebellion, and it
cannot be foreseen that this force will
not be required for some time to come.
It is to be hoped that this force will
not be necessary to enforce the laws,
either State or national. But the dit
ferenco of sentiment engendered by
tho groat war 'which has raged for four
years, will make the presence of a mili
tary force necessary to give a feeling
of security to the people ; all classes
disposed to obey the laws of the coun
try will feel this alike.
To maintain order the Government
has been compelled to retain volun—
teers. All white volunteers have bo-
come dissatisfied,and claim that the con
tract with them has been violated, by
retaining them atter the war was over.
By reason of dissatisfaction they are no
longer of use, and might as well he die
.charged at once.
The colored volunleer has equal right
.to claim his discharge, but as yet ho
has not done so. How long will exist
ing laws authorize the retention of
this force, oven if they are content to
remain ?
The United States Senate passed
promptly a bill for the reorganization
of the army, which, in my opinion, is
as free from objection as any great
measure could possibly be, and it
would supply the minimum requisite
force. It gives but a. few thousand ad
ditional men over the present organic
zation, but gives a largo number• of ad
ditional batteries and companies. The
public service, guarding routes of tray
over the plains and giving protec•
Lion in the Southern States, demands

For many of them a small company
is just as efficient as ono with more
men in it. would be. The bill before Con
gress or the one that has passed the
Senate gives increased number of rank
and file of each company. It is an ex
ceedingly appropriate measure in this
particular, for it provides for the in
crease when occasion requires more
men. The company is the smallest
unit of an organization that can be
used without materially injuring disci
pline and efficiency.
The belief that Congress would act
promptly on this matter if their atten
tion was called to it, has induced me
to respectfully ask your attention to
it. If you agree with me in this mat
ter, I would also ask, if you deem it
proper, that this, with such endorse
ment as you may be pleased to make,
be laid before Congress through the
Speaker of the House.

Inhuman Massacre of Indians.
The Governor of Idaho has address
ed a letter to the Commissioner of In
dian Affairs, informing him of the
massacre of some sixteen friendly Indi
ane on the 11th of March, near the
Mouth of Moore's creek, on the Boise
river, by a party of citizens of Ada
county. Ho concludes by saying that
there were but two grown males, the
rest were Indian women and children.
The immediate settlers, miners, protes
ted againgt the murder, and their
statements I shall send you in a few
days, showing that the Indians were
defenceless and peaceable. If anything
will serve to bring on a general Indian
war it is such acts as these. I have
gathered the rest of the tribe and pla
cod them under the protection of the
military of this post. The excitement
runs high, and I have all I can do to
carry out my instructions against the
depraved moral sentiment evinced to
wards the poor savages. Things look
stormy just now, but when the road to
the Indian country becomes passable
I shall quiet the troubled waters. In
no case that I have examined have I
found the "Red man" the aggressor,
but invariably the trouble springs
from some fiendish outrage of "bad
white men."
