Tlie Suffrage ffncstion. To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin:— The question of suffrage, or " Universal Suffrage,” is (he absorbing topic in onr do mestic affairs, and the arbitrament impend ing will not admit of neutrality. Pnbliosen timent has atlengthfeltitsnecessity, accords its justice, and will award thejost ultimatum as a finality. The traditional fallacy that manhood de pends on origin, caste, or descent is culmi- nating in disruption, and finds a habitation only with those who, from some cause, ima gine themselves inferior to others in man hood, and erroneously conceive that if the freedmen and the disfranchised people of the South generally are permitted to raise themselves up, some one else must go down and they being in the habit of looking up to «ome, wish to look down on others. This country has selected the race of African de scent tor the disfranchised, as the victim of its prejudice, while in Oriental countries the aristocracy use all the “lower classes” with out regard to origin or descent as theirs. There is an apprehension, that if the ballot, that stupendous, conventional, arbiter, and symbol of political power is I conferred on tne freedmen, and the disfran- i chised of African descent in general, that j with their natural affinities and sympa thies all .gravitating in the same direction, they would be a unit on any question and I might emerge unwittingly a mercantile I commodity to be tampered with by the on- I scrupulous. That apprehension—based not I on caste, bnt misconception is the inhe- I rent stumbling block of some, who have a I longing for tho £n&i odjostoiont of tho qubs- I ttpn. But Unless it can be demonstrated, | that those of African descent in the North I and the “Freedmen” of the South possess I less,acumen, perception, instinctive judg-1 ment and moral courage than others ofdif- I Jerent origin in similar circumstances j the apprehension or pretension should fall I to the ground, as it is speedily doing. The I ballot, as ail know, is a natural but a oon- I ventional right, the representative of will I er power, and is presumed to express the I convictions of the balloter; to this end the I full exercise of personal freedom and pri- I vate judgment are indispensable; any I adverse influence controlling the voluntary I use of the ballot is a perversion and the I ballot so cast is substantially wrongfully | cast. The primary elementary purity of 1 the ballot consists in the personal freedom I of its use; extraneous influence is usurps- I tion. I After loyalty and integrity, as the pre ponderant motives, prompting the use of toe ballot, there is but little difference in detail between men, politically considered •where all are equally free and interested: whether a voter is a freed man or born free of whatever origin or location, all are governed by the same, conspicuous, uni yersal law—the common welfare of a com moncountry. If the white man’s subsist ence is made to depend on the direction of his ballot, to serve the selfish end of some despotic employer, and he cannot shake off the incumberance, he votes per force, not choice; in that instance his personal freedom 1b extinguished and the ballot abnormal. The freed man-, in similar circumstances, for identical reasons, will do the same, be cause, like the white man, for the time, he cannot do otherwise. Parallel cases are parallel in effect, irrespective of origin, edu canon or location. To yield from necessity s not reprehensible, b&t to omit to provide a preventive for a Bimilar contingency in the future, would certainly be. No matterwhatdisposition the freedmen and all the disfranchised might make of the JjaUot in the future, there are purposes, he and they would not, If he and theycould. appropriate it to at this time: provided al ways, that his and theirs was, as every bal loter should be in the full enjoyment of per <K>nalfreedom; namely: * That the voter would not, if he could, oast to se , < ? de a State from the Union. That he would not, if he could, vot6 to re «>gnize the mdependence of the Southern Confederacy nor any other government hav ing slavery for its chief corner stone! That he would not, if he could, ballot to repudi , a 6, l°yal national, nor to assume the rebel debts! That he would not, il he sto re-enslave himself! That he would not, ff he could, knowingly, vote for a rebel nor an ex-rebel m preference to a man who had always been loyal, for any office cf honor, profit or trust! That he w he could > vote to com pensate the late master for his - eman cipation ! He and loyal whites have vol unteered their services and lives to preserve the integrity and unity of this as a Repub lican Government. Query. Can anv white man, opposed to his suffrage, anywhere sav more? Can his fate white master, with I of toe white population of the South and many in the North, say as much for themselves? Man is governed --more by circumstances in daily life thanbv choice,and the “rulingclass” acton this fact. To render the ballot as impervious to abuse as possible in the hands of all, permit each to place himself as far as possible out of the absolute control of despotic influence by making all, as they really are, mutually dependent on or equally independent ofeach other. Let capiial be, what it really is, the .Mutual friend of the capitalist, industry and personal freedom; not the master and usurper of either or both of the latter as it iB prone to he under the dominant desire to rale all and possess all. If the “freedmen,” or any other class are, firom necessity, involuntarily congregated on large plantations, or in any other busi ness, under the entire control of a covetous ambitious, austere employer, and. like minors, compelled to remained for a fixed period, under the penalty of arrest or for leiture of pay for past services, or both, in to® went of leaving, for refusing to yield the ballot to the wishes of the employer.— toe .whne man similarly situated, ho choice might remain for the time. The question is naturally asked—How could the evil be remedied, provided suf frage was conferred?. The writer thiSs wft it >, rei S e - dy A. or „ a Parti®! remedy at feast, at hand in the South. The freedman, 18 a . rnra hstj accustomed to agricultural pursuits, with fair meohanical tact, so far as he has had opportunity to dis pfeyfbelatter. The writer propoles that ihe freedman and every other person who desires it, shall be placed in possession of a small landed homestead, and removed Mfar as possible from the operation and in ftuence of capital over his personal freedom • in other words, give him soil and the ballot’ send the teacher with the Primary Reader and its accompaniments; let him derive his own individual subsistence and that of his family from his own individual territory mid leave him to work out his own salva tion as best be can, and the result assuredly b® favorable. Before the war it was intimated that less than one-twentieth of the soil of Louisiana was under cultivation. «,?vTi!?i? re^.lesB; .P®to a P s not more than a unrheth. There is a large area of United to Louisiana. Besides there fenflSw 0 * 18 , 0 * ? or ? s of unoccupied school sffice thi Eing {° Louisiana.

The remarks are confined to Louisiana, because the writer is better ac quainted in the matter of affairs referred to there than in other Southern States. There then is an immense unoccupied territory open for improvement, containing boundless forests of the best pine and oak timbers, with mines of coal, salt, kaolin and Iron, and interspersed with many of the water mill streams, and producing sugar, cotton, indigo, oraDges, figs, wheat" corn, peaches, apples, and numerous other varieties of fruit, ana no country has equal or superior water navigation. . Here there is a field for the humanitarian right where the freedman stands; go there then and see,him located, secure him as far a? he may ha from the evils incident to aa illiterate homeless itinerant, who. i from I force of circumstances, is subject to especial abuse on account of origin. ... See that he is placed in possession if he wishes, of the domainoffered by the United States, at least on the condition mentioned. Then if hemisuses the ballot, will be time to pass judgment on him as is done against the white man for similar.voluntary abuse. 3 The ultimatum of the suffrage question is a contest of> white-men, the 'disfranchised race, are the dependents, almost impotent to aid in the matter, and -when the ballot is conferred, it is accorded by the white man not as a favor but an act of simple justioe which has been withheld by usurpation. To confer the suffrage on the disfranchised some party must take the initiative and be come the instrument of the people to con summate the result. No oonsiderablenutn ber ol' the State Conventions have endorsed t, even of the Republican party, and none of the Democratic. Neither of the two great parties of the country, in National Con fen ions assembled, have slipped such a plank nto their platforms, even to recommend the measure. The Republican party was a ne cessity of the times when it was ushered nto being; it became a living body moving forward or onward, while the Democratic party stood still, contented with, and de pending on its former prestige or moved backwards; the former never contemplated even the abolition of slavery; that idea was confined to a corporal’s guard of original, zealous abolitionists who meant" the full civil and political rights of all men. All the Republican par.ty aimed at was to confine the “peculiar institution” to the limits it then occupied, beyond this it did not look nor care to look. The head of the nation, and at the same time the representative of the Republican party of this country, declared the abolition of slavery a “military necessity,” literally conceding it was not a choice. And that he was a truthful representative of the party that elected him at the time there is nodoubt It remains to be seen whether the Repub.i canswill continue to represent the living present, or, like the Democracy, be content with the dark past, and share a like fate. The party that is right, and moves—wins The other wanes. This is the irreversible decree of the nineteenth century. Former prestige is a broken reed; all that is alive lives from the influx of to-day. Thedis franchlshed and their friends, north and south, now naturally look to the Republi can party to finish a work it involuntarily commenced, their sympathies are in It and with it, and hopefully looking upwards. That party has not done afl it could and should have done, but as before stated,it has involuntarily done something, while the Democracy has done worse than nothing unless we count the aid rendered the rebel lion, and thereby the extinguishment of slavery. The disfranchised, and their friends, we believe, North and South, in timre past and at the present,most certainly the freedmen, instinctively regard Democ racy, secession and slavery as synonpmon terms. The Democr&tlo party is not dead as some assert, but it has lost much of its cohesive force by the loss of public plnnder. It had the misfortune to stand still or move backwards, come in collision with and was run over by the Republican Party, got badly bruised and wounded and to repair its fortunes it recently, very unwisely, took stock largely, got assured m the great “Accident” Insurance company in Washington, and got run over by the Republican party the second time, and is worse damaged than ever—and what adds Shu-more to its misfortunes is that the great Accident” Insurance company at Wash lngton is a failure, insolvent, going inh liquidation . Still the Democracy is not dead, it is only waiting for something te turn up, casting about for new stock and more capital; but even if it was dead, the Democracy believes in the resurrection. Let the Republican party but delay or de cline to confer the suffrage on the disfran chised ; and the Democratic assume it promptly, then the latter would spring up and stnde huge giants in the land, aadthe disfranchised would seek an asylum in it and repudiate all other, and when the suf frage should be consummated, would act as allies, and it must not be forgot ten that they would hold the balanceof power in every Southern State, and the party that has this vete must win for the time being until new issues and combinations should spring up, and the voting question shall be lost in the distance of time and other events .If the suffrage is not conferred, the dis* franchised man must in the future,as in the past, make the necessity of patience a virtue: but in- the event of a foreign war, and his own native country hiving failed to give him rightß equal to its other citizens, and that foreign power guaranteeing to him all the rights common to its own subjeots, it requires hut little foresight to discover that he would ally himself with that power, and although there is no doubt but that the result would be disastrous to him, yet the world would justify him for doing so, and condemn his native country for forcing him to that attitude: still he would have nothing to lose in a political point of view by the experiment, because perpetual disfranchise ment in this country means ultimate exter mination. But the adjustment of the question by ad mitting the suffrage as a principle of justice, r^il ID f nly ® p€ahi P, R > s P ee dily approaching, ior,theAmerican will not much longer permit a loyal people to remain disfranchised and ostracized on account of the accidents of casie or origin, Alfred Jervis. *? compelled, however reluctantly, to the Government is now constituted ” u!siarm ; there; Is no security from abuse, insult rhuiv erf/vif oi harm, to tho3e who are unionists, espe’ iwj ,™S.haa favor negro suffrage, and cannot be un’il whtahnf/wS!?

Mr. Deklin,counsel for the henlan prisoners, arrived here thia morn ing. Gen. Averill, United States Consul- General, is expected here to-morrow, to watch the case on behalf of hia Govern ment, The Grand Jury had the indiotments against the Fenian prisoners submitted to them at 11 o’clock tbiß morning, and were at work at them until 6 P. M. They will probably make their presentment to-mor row. Their-counsel is ready to proceed at once with the trials, whiih it is believed will commence on Thursday afternoon, as the murder case will then have been dis posed of. The prisoners had a lively time this after noon. Two of them, Crawford and Dan Coburn, had a fight in the Fenian ward,and Coburn,who is a powerfully built man.pum meled his antagonist. Orders have been given that in ftiture two or three policemen shall remain in the ward with the prisoners to preserve order and prevent the repetition of any attempts at incendiarism. All is quiet in the village, there being bnt few strangers here from the United States. In the fight between Coburn and Craw ford the latter was jgreatly damaged, having one or his eyes knocked out- by Coburn’s boot. The difficulty arose out of a discos • sion as to which of them bad rendered the greatest service to the Fenian cause. The jailor and his assistants entered the ward secured Coburn and removed him to a soli tary cell, whore he will be fed on bread and water and deprived of hia allowance of to bacco.
