Color in Connecticut.
The people of Connecticut are soon to de
cide whether they will strike the word
"whi'te" out of that clause in their State
Constitution which prescribes the qualifica
tions of voters.
It seems very absurd at this late day, to
make mere color a ground of exclusion from
political suffrage in such a State as Connec
ticut. There are probably less than two thou
sand colored persons in that btate to be- at
fected bv it. and so far as we know they are
quite as intelligent and well-behaved as the
average ot the working classes to which tney
belong. At all events Connecticut requires
that every man who votes shall be able to
read and write, and blacks-would, of course,
be held to this test iu the same way as
whites.
Unquestionably there is a prcdjudice in
the public mind against the blacks, and so
long as four million of them were held in
slavery it was not wholly uunatural. There
was a certain show of reason, moreover, in
doubting the propriety of conferring politi
cal power upon a class of men who would
unquestionably use it always in favor of the
slaves without regard to other demands of
the'public good. But circumstances have
changed all this, Slavery no longer exists.
The blacks everywhere are now free, and
with the destruction of slavery the predju
f ice which grew out of it ought also to die
away. So far as political rights and respon
sibilities arc concerned, the mere fact of col
or should uo longer eieate distinctions a
mong different classes of people. If colored
men are as intelligent, as moral, as thrifty,
as worthy and reliable citizens awhiteinen,
they should be admitted just as freely to the
exercise and enjoyment of political power.
This.vioffW be the cae everywhere, though
it is easy to understand that prcdjudiccs on
the subject may be so deeply rooted in some
sections as to-.reu Icr such an experiment,
rashly made, unsafe and unwise. But Con
necticut certain fyoojsht to havo outgrown all
such narrow and illiberal sentiments.
The Democrats allege that our govern
ment is solely for tchite men. They do not
base their hostility on grounds of expediency,
on consideration of the public welfare ; they
deny the right of the black race to share in
the rights anil privileges of Democratic in
stitutions. This is simply absurd and wick
ed. While slavery existed this theory serv
ed a purpose, and wa3 never advanced ex
cept in aid of slavery. But it is now wan
tonly and flagrantly cruel. This govern
ment is for the good of every body who lives
under it. All races and all classes, are enti
tled to its advantages. There are none too
humble for its care. And the notion of ex
cluding a whole race, numbering four or five
millions, from its benefits and advantages,
solely on the trround of color, is one of ( hose
sweeping absurdities or which nobody in
these days, but the Democratic party could
possibly be guilty.
The question at issue in Connecticut is
purely one of domestic interest. It ought
to be decided solely and exclusively on
grounds of the pub ic good, and mere preju
dice should have nothing whatever to do
w ith it. If colored men would vote as intelli
gently and honestly as white men, they
should be admitted otherwise not. We
shall be very much surprised if Connecti
cut should fail to adopt the amemlinent pro
posed. A' V. Time.
An exciting scene occurred in the Wirz
trial, in Washington, Scptcm'ner 22, near
the close of the session. One of the witnes
ses testified to several murders committed
by the prisoner, and in lentified him as the
person who ame riding up as he and a com
rade were carrying the corpse of a prisoner
to the dead house, and asked them by what
authority they were there, and when answer
ed by proper authority, shot his comrade
dead on the spot. The prisoner was direct
ed to stand up.that he might be identified
with more certainty, when he became ex
cessively agitated, and after attempting, in
a stuttering and incoherent manner, to ad
dress the witness and the Court, seemed
about to sink down in convulsions, when
the court was cleared, and he was taken in
charge by his physician.
At Wilmington, Delaware, on Saturday
last, a terrible accident occurred at- the
foundry of Jonx V. Rice a Co. A number
of men were engaged in easting a water wheel
shaft for E. I. Dcpont & Co. An open pit,
twenty-four feet deep, had been dug, and
into it a flask twenty-six feet long was set.
Four tons of melted iron were poured into
thisflask,whenaleakwas discovered. Wa
ter and sand were then thrown upon it to
chill it. Three more shanks were then
poured in, and while the last one ws run
ning in, the metal suddenly fell, the blaze
and hot steam flew up the pit and injured
ten workmen.
While our brave boys were at the front,
facing the enemy in the field, they also had
a foe harrassing them in the rear. Having
gloriously flogged the enemy that faced them,
it would hardly be creditable to surrender
to the guerrillas who were picking them off
in the rear, and yet the bushwhakers actu
ally expect to capture them at the polls.
Union men should organize without
delay, and see that every loyal voter is as
sessed and at the polls armed with his pa
per bullet for a shot at the rebels. Have a
committee of the loys in blue to attend to
the skeddlers and deserters. No man who
copied after Benedict Arnold has any say
so now. This is not his country.
Emerson Etheridge will be tried by court
martial at Me nphis in a low days, for sedi
tion, in villifying and holding up to public
infamy Governor Brownlow and President
Johnson.
The entire revenue receipts from internal
revenue, from the first day of July, up to
and inclusive of Mondav. amounts to the
handsome sum of $80,479,502.41. This far
exceeds the exiectations of Commission g
Orton, and, in fact, is a much greater sum
than the most sanguine well-wisher of the
Government has calculated upon.
The trial of the rebel steamboat-burners
has commenced at St. Louis. Thcattoiney
for Wm. Mcrpuy, the first prisoner arraign
ed, informed the Court that he proposed to
call as witnesses Jepf Davis, Secretary
Mallory and Secretary Seddov, of the late
rebel government, and Admirals Pouter and
Farragut, of our navy.
