NEGRO SUFFRA In THE SENATE, yesterday, after the expira- tion of the morning hour, the bill to regulate the elective franchise in the District of Colum- bia was taken up. Mr. Mo:rili offered an amendment, to in- clude among those excepted from the right of suffrage ail who may have voluntarily lett the District of Columbia to give aid aud comiort to the rebels. Mr. Davis took the floor in opposition to the bill, ana spoke at length on its unconstitation- ality. He denied the right of Congress under the second section of the amendment to confer the right of suffrage on the negroes, and main- tained thateven if the right existed it would not be expedient to exercise it, the negro being an inferior race, incapable of self-government and civilization. He held that the Cancasian was the highest and the negro the lowest of the Taces, and all attempts to elevate the race only ended in their degradation. Cuvier, the great naturalist, had described the African, but he ought to have added to his description that a foul odor exudes from his skin, and his heel mikes a hole in the ground. At the conclusion of Mr. Davis’ remarks, Mr. Wilson moved to postpone the bill under consideration and take up the bill to enlarge the powers of he Freedmen’s Burean. Pending which motion the Senate adjourned In THR Hovsr— Mr. Julian, of Indiana, spoke at length on the bill. lie demanded suffrage for the colored man on the broad groand of absolute, natural right, and repudiated suffrage asa mere con- yenuonal form. Without suffrage, no man is actually free. The real test of freedom is the Tight to share in the governing power. There were now twenty thousand colored citiezns in the District ot Columbia. These people will remain here, and by giving them suffrage we make them our allies and friends, instead of re- taining them as aliens ina dissatisfied cond. tion. As a matter of mere policy, as well as a matter of right, he would give them the ballot. ‘The great want of every poor man wasa home. and the ballot and homestead should go tegeth- er. There were fifty millions of unsold lands in the South, which, unless prevented, will be open to rebel speculators. These lands sbouid be set apart for homesteads fer both white and black loyal men. I1 the bill heretofore intro- duced by him, aud which was now before the Committee on Public Lands, shonid become a law, every landless freedmen would become a freebolder. If it were objected that all the ne- groes here were too ignorant to vote, he would reply that they were not all iguorant. Many of them are educated and quite intelligent. The larger portion, not so, would not suffer by tvitiparison with many white men who insti- tute mobs against unoffending celored people, And yet nothing was done to disfranchise them. Every man cannot give a well defined reason for his yote, no more than eyery man is fit to discharge all the duties of life. He would give the negro the ballot to maintain the liberty already secured. A warof races can be produced only by denying the negro his rights, The late events in Jamaica should teach us the duty of dealing justly. Like causes must produce like effects. Hatred of the negro is as universal in the South as it was before the war. The proposi- tion to elevate the negro is everywhere held in that section in contempt and ‘scorn, and the disposition is manifested to continue the col- ored race under some torm of vassalage or serfdom. If the military be withdrawn, and the ballot is withheld from the colored ‘man, tbe most disastrous consequences might result. The conferring of suffrage, therefore, was a means of safety. If the whites in this District who sympathized with the rebellion vote, it would be mean to withhold the ballot from the loyal negroes. A vote against this bill would be a vote against democratic liberty, and instead of securing justice would instil misrule and mal-administration, Meaner rebels could not be found elsewhere than in this District, and the halter has been cheated out of their necks. He appealed to his Democratic friends to say whether white men did not sometimes yote wrong, and whether Democratic voting did not do much to warm rebellion into lite. Mr. Sitgreaves, of New Jersey, noticed a remark by Mr. Farnsworth the other day, that the Democrats of New Jersey refused to give the white soldier who went into the field and periled his life for his country the privilege of voting, even as to who should represent them in the State and Congress, and that this was perhaps the reason why there were so many men of that persuasion in the House. Mr. Sitgreaves said that when the bill was pending before the Legislature to authorize soldiers to vote in camp, many of the Demo- cratic party conscientiously believed they could not vote for it without violating the Con- stitution, Others thought that no fair vote could be had in camp, and history showed they were right. The charge that the Democratic purty of New Jersey were unfriendly to sol- diers, and by inference unfriendly to the cause for which the soldiers fought, was unjust. The gentleman then proceeded to show what the Democrats had done to aid the country in suppreesing the rebellion. Mr. Randall, of Pa., replied to remarks re- cently made by his colleague [Mr. Kelley} with reference to suffrage in Pennsylvania. He was glad to say that the Democratic party have uniformly been against extending the right of suffrage to the negro race; and in this the Democratic ey had the aid of vast num- bers of those who were politically opposed to them. His colleague proposed to make an is- sue bere that he had failed to make at home. Mr. Kelley said when he was quite a young man, and acting with the Democratic party, he united ina petition to the Legislature to change the ee ag so thatevery man in Penn- tylvania, who was not a pauper or felon, should be a citizen in full. Kx After further colloquy, Mr. Randall asked his colleague whether he would, by process of the Constitution of the United States, or amend- ment to the constitution of Pennsylvania. strike out the word “white” as a qualification of voters. Mr. Kelley lied that he would, havin, high regard for ‘lin and others who lai the foundations of the Government. Mr. Randall resumed his remarks, saying he should uniformly vote in accordance with the action of his State, without regard to party. He believed the two races are distinct, and be- lieving that, he was unwilling to take any steps which would place the negro on an equality with the white man. Mr. Jobn AEM eee) of parryiees.

F. Herald, Boston Boot and Stok MARKET.—There is a little more movement noticed during the past week, as the holidays are over, and our mer- chants are now fairly embarked in the business of anew year. A few buyers bave made their appearance; and constant accessions are being made to their numbers. Most dealers look for a late trade, a8 8 number of buyers have signi- fied their intention of holding off until the last of the month before coming on to purchase. As rices are very firm, purchasers will nataral- jy try the market pretty bard before they bay, but we do not look for apy slacking off in prices of goods this season as stocks are small, and rates for leather and findings are not like- ly to goany lower. We notice more eall for shoes for San Francisco, the shipments from Boston and via New York beimg 1,000 cases this week and about the same number Iast week. This is the first shipment to that port we have noticed for some months. The shipments for the past fortnight were 3,000 cases more than for the first two weeks of I565. With a South- ern and Western demand for the coming year, we may wellexpect a larger year’s business for 1-66 than ever before.—Shoe and Leather Ke- porter. DISEASED PoRK—Sererai Families Poisoned.— An old German citiven named Sweigert, who madea living for some years by keeping a meat stand on Biddle street, opposite the mar- ket, died day before yesterday from the effects ofeating sausage made by himself from dis- eased meat purchased from an lilinois farmer on Broadway. On Saturday morni last be purchased a couple of hogs of the farmer ax what seemed to be a low price, took them home and made sausage, the most of which he sold to his neighbors, keeping a little for his own use. The family eat heartily, and on the following day were taken with a singular kind of sick- ness, reeembling cases of powoning. It was also soon ascertained that such of the neigh- bors as laa eaten ot the sausage were all taken with ihe same disease. Sweigert had two grown sons, both of them stout and hearty young men, who went to bed complaining of the same feeling of dizziness. On Tuesday Sweigert died as stated, but all the members of his family are now recovering, as are also those of his neighbors who were affected. The physician attending the family of the deceased states that the sickness was, without doubt‘, caused by the meat being diseased.—St. Lows Republican, Thursday. Tue Eicnt Hour System.—The question relative to the eight hour system has been in- troduced into the City Council. Last evening in the Second branch, Mr. Taylor presented an ordinance, providing that “On and after the lst of March, 1566, no employee in any of the departments ef the Co! on shall be re- quired to labor or render more than eight hours’ service per day, and that said eight hours’ labor or service rendered shall consti- tate and be accepted b y this Corporation as a legal day’s work.” That no reduction shall be madein the wages of any person who now is, or may hereafter be employed in any of the de- partments of this Corporation, on account of the reduction made in the hours of labor.” “That the salary or wages paid toany employee of this Corporauon, in any of its departments, shall be the same in the future as they have received up to the ist of January, i and until the same shall be changed by the Mayor and City Council.” The ordimance was read once and laid on the table, ander the rules.— Baltimore Americen, 17th. GERMAN IMMIGRANTS DesenTING.—We re- ferred a few days ago to the fact of the arrival of German immigrants im this State under an engagement to work on a plantation in the in- terjor. We haye eince ascertained that the laborers were contracted with in New York, and that other contracts of the same character have been made. The obligation on the part of the laborers was to come to the State and work for one year at liberal rates of w: the exact amount being stipulated, and to far- nished with certain rations, supplies, cabins, &c.,allof which were clearly and distinctly set forth. Their passage to this port was also to be paid by the contractor, We learn that these stipulations were faithfully executed by the contractor. No exception was taken to him or fault found by the immigrants, and yet on reaching this nearly one-half ef the laborers deserted the vessel on which men bean been brought at the expense of the gen who had hired them, and remained in the city to avail thumsel ves of what t! believed to be higher rates of wages.—NV. 0.
