Negro Suffrage.
The Harrisburg Patriot publishes the fol
lowing draft of a memorial to the Legisla
ture protesting against Mr. Sumner's pro
posed amendment to the Constitution, au
thorizing negro suffrage regardless of the
well known and expressed wish of a large
majority of the people of the country. We
have liefore alluded to this subject, and
would again urge upon the citizens of this i
State the importance of moving actively to j
avert the nefarious schemes of sncli fanatics
as Sumner, Wilson, Butler, and other lead
ing ltadieaks in Congress. Let tlu-m -rise
in their plight and declare in no uncertain
tone thus far shall the waves of Radicalism
flow, and 110 farther. We do not believe
that the people of Pennsylvania are yet
ready for negro equality and suffrage, and
if they would avert the pending evil they
must meet the issue now, by instructing
their servants in the Legislature not to
ratify the amendment which is. maturing
under Sumner's manipulations. In every
county, city, town and village throughout
the State the memorial*.hould be circulated,
or something like it. and thus create a pub
lic sentiment which our Legislators cannot
mistake and will not dare to resist. This
question is no longer one of politics, as be
tween Democrats and Radicals. It presents
an issue on which members of both parties
can stand side by side in defence of the an
cient rights and privileges of the State. It
is a question of resistance to a fnrthercen
tralization of power on the part of Coftgress.
! The amendment proposes to take from the
States the jwover of defining the qualifica
tions for franchise within their borders,
and places it in the hands of an irresponsi
ble set of men known as the Congress of
the United States. We trust there will be
a prompt awakening to the importance of
this matter and a resort to the proper
measures to defeat the intended usurpation
of the rights of the people of Pennsylvania.
The following is the form of the remon
strance referred to, and should Ik* copied,
universally signed, .cl sent to Harrisburg:
KfMOXSTBANCE.
T<> t'i' J Honorable the Senate amt House of
Jiejrreseutatires of the Commonwealth of
Pennsgirania, in General A ss< mbly met:
The undersigned, citizens of county
without distinction of party, do most re
spectfully but earnestly and solemnly re
monstrate against the ratification, by your
honorable bodies, of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, known as Article XV, which pro
vides that "The right of any citizen of the
United States to vote and hold office shall
not be denied or abridged by the United
States, or any State, by reason of race, or
color, or previous condition of slavery of
any citizen or class of citizens of the United
States." We do protest against the ratifi
cation of the same, for the reason that un
der the Constitution, as it now stands the
people of the several States have cojnplete
contol over the question of suffrage, and
the people have not been consulted as to
whether they are willing to pari with this
important privilege,and in the language of
the platform upon which General Grant
was elected to the presidency, we do in
sist that "the question of suffrage in all the
loyal States properly belongs to the people
of those States." We, therefore, do most
[ solemnly remonstrate against the ratifica
tion of the proposed amendment, known
■us Article XV., bv the present Legislature.
Resjiectfully submitted.
* Negro Suffrage Bill.
The House, it will be recollected, some
days ago passed a joint resolution to give
negroes the right of suffrage. That bill
went to the Senate. On Tuesday last
the Senate had the resolution under discus
sion and passed it, after a prolonged de
bate, in the following shajie:
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives, Ac., two-thirds of both
Houses concurring. That tlie following
articles be proposed to the Legislatures of
the several States, as an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, either pf
which, when ratified by three-fourths of
said Legislatures, shall lie held as a part of
said Constitution —namely :
Art. 15th. Xo distinction shall be made
in the United States, among the citizens of :
the United States, in the exercise of the ;
elective franchise, or in regard to holding j
office in any State, on account of race, col- j
or, nativity, property qualification or creed, j
Art. ltitfi. The second clause first section,
second article of the Constitution of the!
United States shall lie amended to read as
follows:
Each State shall apjKiiut, by the vote of
the people thereof qualified to vote for rep
resentatives in Congress, a number of elec
tors espial to tin: whole number of Senators
and Representatives to which tlu* State may
lie entitled in the Congress ; but no Senator
or Represent.-ftive or persons holding an
office of trust or profit under the United
States shall Ik* appointed an elector ; and
that Congress shall have power to prescribe
th** manner in which such electors shall be
chosen by the people.
Tlu* joint resolution now goes to the
House for concurrenee.
JBaEj-Dr. Mudd, who was tried as an ac
complice of Booth, in the murder of Presi
dent Lincoln, and sent to the Dry Tortu
gas for life, by the Military* Court, has
l>oon pardoned. Dr. Mudd had the misfor
tune to be called on by Mr. Booth, after he
had committed the deed, to get his broken
leg set. The Doctor performed the opera
tion, without knowing how it occurred, and
Booth then left, and Mudd was arrested in
consequence, as an accomplice. There is a
strong effort now making to get the other
citizens released who were sent there by
the same illegal court.
General Grant's Speech
Ono groat advantageof a President-elect's
saying but little is that the little he does
say is sure to l>e scanned with eager, curi
ous attention. To meet the public inqnis
itivenoss respecting General Grant. Below
will Ik* found what is telegraphed from
Washington as a word-for-word report of
his speech in reply to the committee that
delivered to him his eertitieute of election :
I can promise the committee that it will
be my endeavor to call around me as assis
tants such men only as I think wlil carry
out the principles which you have said the
country desires to see successful—economy,
retrenchment, faithful collection of the
revenue, and payment of the public debt.
If I should fail in my first choice, I shall
not at any time hesitate to make a second,
or even a third trial, with the concurrence
of the Senate, who have the confirming
power, and should just as soon .remove one
of my own appointees as the-appointee of
my predecessor. It would make no differ
ence.
There is one matter that I might proper
ly speak of and that is the selection
of a Cabinet, I have always felt that it
would Ik* rather indelicate to announce or
even to consult with the gentlemen whom
I thought of inviting to positions in my
Cabinet before the official declaration of
the result of tlie election was made, although
I presumed that there was 110 doubt about
what the declaration would be. But after
consideration 1 have come to the conclu
sion that there is not a man in the country
who could lx* invited to a place in the Cab
inet without friends of some other gentle
man making an effort to secure the posi
tion ; not that there would Iks any objection
to the party named, but there would be
others whom they had set their hearts up
on having in the place. T ran fell that
from tlie great number of requests which
come to me, in writing and otherwise, for
this particular person'or that one, from
different s. is dr delegations. If announced
in advance, efforts would be made to change,
mv determination, and therefore 1 have
come to the conclusion not to announce
who T am going to invite to seats in the
Cabinet until I send in their names to the
Senate for confirmation. If I say anything
to them about it, it will certainly not Ik*
more than two or three days previous to
sending in their names. I think it well to
make a public declaration of this to the
committee, so that my intentions may IK*
known.
This certainly is no great display of in
tellect : hut candor constrains us to say
that it is no ordinary exhibition of charnc
-I*l'. The man who thus quietly holds cu
rious politicians at hay, and acts steadily
uj'ion his own una sisted judgment, evinces
a resolute self-reliance which is one of the
most respectable qualities that can he pos
sessed by a man clothed with great respon
sibilities. His judgments may in some
cases be mistaken, hut they will at least he
his own. — Wufhl.
A Carpet-bagger.
No one will question the ability of lliin
nieutt, of Virginia, to understand and de
scribe a "carpet-bagger." He understands
this class of persons, their habits, manners
and peculiarities, as thoroughly as did Au
dubon the haunts and peculiarities of the
various kinds of birds. Hunnicutt has
slept with the carpet-baggers, ate with them
traveled, preached, prayed ami humbugged
with them. He has aided them in inflam
ing the passions of the negroes against the
whites, and pointed out to his associates
from other States the spots in Virginia
where their blows could be made most ef
fective. Thus posted as to the carpet-bag
gers, Hie following sketch from the brush
of their late comrade cannot fail to be ac
cepted by the community. Elder Hunni
cutt says : "A few strangers squatted in
Virginia for ths whole and sole purpose of
i making their living and fortunes by oftice
holdiug. These men, without means, with
out any established characters to recom
mend them to the confidence of the people,
without any employment or business to
lull) build up the State in any way ; loaf
ing around, prying into everybody's busi
ness, having none of their own ; looking
out for any vacancy of office which may be
made ; trying to shove others out that they
themselves may creep in ; trying to pull
others down that they may go up ; trying
to snatch the bread out of honest men's
months that they may fill their own greenly
stomachs; trying to undermine honest
men's business that they may sneak into
their places ; trying to crush out truth and
honesty to make way for lying and rob
bery. " The point and moral of this are,
that the whole aim, object and purpose of
the Reconstruction acts are to put South
ern States into the hands and keeping of
this class of persons. It may well be char
acterized as a scheme to "crush out truth
and honesty" and "make way for lying and
rdbbfi'y." We thank thee, Hunnicutt, for
teaching us that word.
Pa the Taxes. •
The laboring men of this nation—the
tax-payers —were promised that "times
should Is- easier" upon Grant's election ;
that public confidence would be restored
and money and lalor become abundant.—
We would iisk these dupes^of Radicalism if
these pledges have been fulfilled'? The
money market is now so stringent that
enormous lutes are paid for the use of
money ; —in some cases to our knowledge
twenty to twenty-five per cent. In the
face of these facts our public expenditures,
both State and Federal, are increasing at
an alarming rate. Fraud and corruption j
are more rife than ever.
As illustrative of this, we would call the
attention of our readers to tlie fact that the
increase of the public debt in January was
$15,498,456.83. Just think of this ye toil
ing masses; groan and sweat under your
burdens, and see the lordly boml-holder
gather in his gold from untaxed bonds
which he bought at a ruinous discount.—
Many of you voted to continue Radicalism
in power, now pay your taxes.—Ex.
GOOD .FOB DINAH.—The upi>cr class nc
gresses of Washington, it is said, refuses to
participate in the grand inauguration ball

the white women that will attend, are not
