VIENNA, March 9, 1863. ‘The result of the elections in Bavariaand Baden for the Zoll Parliament of all the German States has been received with great satisfaction here. The vic- tory which the particularists have gained in Bavaria and Baden over the natiohal liberals and the pro- Prussian party—gained, too, with little previous organization, but with the aid of manhood suffrage and direct voting—is accepted here asa sure and irreversible manifestation of the popular will that the Zoll Parliament shall not be diverted from its proper commercial purposes into a political engine for reducing the South German States into vassals of the Prussian monarchy. About the attitude which Wurtemburg, the most anti-Prussian of all the Ger- man States, will take nobody entertains a doubt. } The so-called “particularists” are avery hetero- geneous party, including ultramontanes, particular- {ats proper and adherents of the great German idea which demands that Prussia shall be swallowed up by Germany instead of Germany being dominated by ‘Prussia, and that the German Avstrians be taken back into political connection with the other States of the Vaterland. The German Austrians are divided ‘between the first and the third of these parties, and they respond to the signals thrown up into the politi- cal sky by their Western neighbors and brethren with enthusiasm. The German Austrians are bound to the South Germans by many positive ties of blood, language, commerce and history, and also by that pe- culiar bond which a common jeaiousy inspires be- tween those who experience it. [n this case the ob- ject of a common dislike is Prussian ambition. » Admiral Tegethor® has been appointed Command- er-in-Chief of the Austrian navy, instead of one of the Archdukes, resigned, This appointment gives uni- versal satisfaction both among the naval oflcers and seamen and the general public. ‘The cry of famine and demand for help has arisen in Galicia, which was afflicted last year by a failure of crops. The Galacian Diet, on whom it would be in the first place incumbent to find funds to relieve the most pressing calls, has not been convoked, and therefore this responsibility devolved immediately upon the Reichsrath and the Cis-Leithan Ministry. ‘The Legislature and Ministry have promptly united ‘in voting 250,000 forins by way of loan to the Gali- cian Executive for the purpose of battling with the Tamine. Apropos of famine and the means for its relief, the “appeal” of the German Austrians for aid for their suffering brethren in East Prussia appears on the wali to-day in placard form, but with the obnoxious ecting on the’ Prussian governm ‘The passage, however, which reflects jan government, and which attributes the poverty of East Prussia to the fact that “the un- happy laud is surrounded by the Muscovite (sic) frontiers,” remains intact. This isa proof that the Austrian government has two measures—one of “bated breath and whispering humbleness” for Ber- lin, and another, far less courteous and amiable, for St.’ Petersburg and Moscow. The “Common” Minister of War has issued an order reducing the number of the army in several ways. The most important reduction is the abolish- ing, after the 3d of March of this year, of regimental Dands in all departments of the'service, except the line infantry and frontier iniantry regiments, Regimental bands compete cruelly with the civilian musicians 14 this and other cities, Last week a meet- ing of five hundred civil musicians was held in this city to petition the Rcicasrath to ordain that the regi- mental bands cease to perform for him in public rooms and taverns on stringed insiroments. Aided Dy the State, the military bands beat the civilians out of the field,’and in order to supply the demand for ‘their services often divide themselves into several companies and fill up any situation for which the: have not musicians enough by hiring civilian must. cians of the poorest class and sticking them into uniiorms, The inceting was attended by almost all the well known — orchestra ‘directors resident in this city, the petition was fied with unanimity ‘and handed to De Soulnder for preseutaion. The public Laten Ww tales of poverty which the sympathy to the pite ¢ivillan musicians proffer, and, yuding from. the wet of the current of public I think the civilians have grounds for hoping that ‘their ery of distress ‘Wil! not ave been utiered in vain, and that the mer- <antileism of the military bands will receive a check. Those who read the account of the reception of the remains of the perhaps smperor Maximilian at member that the gorgeous copper ‘Trieste will outer d for the Oceaston was found to be both too short and too narrow, He the be mnained untila few days ago in the inner w comin in which it was brought from Mexico, In the Meantime a new copper coftin of the right dimen- Bions was constructed, and last Wedne the wooden ceftin, with its contents, was placed in the new copper one and the whole was then defini- lively placed by the side of the coffin of the late Archduckess Soplia, who perished last year in consequence of injuries recetved from her dress caiching tire. This ceremony took place in presence of the High Court Chamberlain and all the members of the Order of Capuchins in this city. I think this is the ultimate act of the Maximilian fune- ral episode. The mention of the Archduke Maximilian leads me to the subject of the Archduke Henry. One of the popular journals of this city, which derives its information from tie family of the Archduke's wife (she ts without a iegal name at present), states that jie newly married pair are travelling in Switzerland tnd have no intention of returning to Ausirta for pig Peesent. A notification from Francis Joseph for- bids the gallant bridegroom until further notice to up his residence within the former's dominions, he Archduke’s estates will now be administered by his brothers, and their rents, as he is deprived of ail public employment, form his only source of in- come, which, by the way, is only 12,000 Austrian florins (about $6,600) @ year, He is travelling under the hame of Count Weideck, and his wiie, therefore, passes as the Countess Weideck, His passport, which Was sent to him at the Bavarian village of Rosen- eim, is made out in this name, That for his wife ad to be procured from her usual place of residence, nd 1g made outin the name of Mrs. Hoffmann, The PPY pair have not yet fixed upon their place of Fenidence. ‘They Intend before settling down to pay King Victor Euianuel a visit, Victor Emanuel is an uncle of the Archduke's, and, it is well known, values if woman 4 pretty face, a fhe figure and mental ac- complishments more than musty pedigrees and caste conventionalities, The Bavarian royal family, to which the Archduke is also related, was, on the other hand, studiously avoided, by him, although he and his Wife spent two days in Monizing the Bavarian capital While en route for Switzerland. The first days of the honeymoon were spent in the above nentioned village of Kosenhetm. Two modest rooms in a hotel were Occupied by the pair, and two servants, the en euite, py me third. Here the Archduke received the rst letters from his brothers im Vienna. He tad previously notified to them the fact of his marriage, ‘as he wise did to the Emperor and Empress. All his brothers and sisters gave bim their good wishe One of them, the Archduke Rainer, who know Switzerland well, gave him advice as to where should lodge and what he should see, In all these letters special reference to the bride was avoided. It is said that the Empress-Queen is active in the work of reconciliation. Here the matter stands for the present. I shali not fail to report the ulterior developments of this interesting edcial event. The — alluded to speaks of the “young couple,” put i think this language is not particularly app! cable to a bridegroom of thirty-nine and a bride of (wenty-#ix years. The mortality statistics (civilian only) of this city for the year 1867 have been published. The mor- bality in 1807 Fo at hea the five previous ars as followe;—1! 19.744; 1863, 17,0035 , 18,9725 1865, 18,064; 1866, 1,089 " (cholera ar); 1867, 16,876, Considering the undoubted Sucrease of population since 1862, this is a vorsble record, but Fg it is explained by “he ex veasive mortality of the year preyious which atvept off the weakest lives. ‘The civil population of (hia city is reckoned to have been in the middle of jo year 077.000, ‘This gives an average of 20 deaths to 20 of the population, or nearly 8 percent, The largest pumber of deaths rred_ in M the S¢ -est in September.

During the current the news- papers appear to me, at a rough cal n, to have Treported, on an average, about three cases of sui- cide a day, I will conclude with a few items concerning the working class movement in the three principal cities in this empire, First the working cluss bail in the flower saloons of this eity, of which I gave you an ac- count at the time, brought im 5¥1 half florins to the sick fund of the working class Aildungs Verein, Secondly, 8,000 Czechian workingmen have assembled in Prague and founded a Meciutnies! Insit- tute, @ co-operative store in connection there- with, and a benefit club. The general sentiment of the meeting was with Schulze-Delitzsch and against lie’s doctrine, — In Bohe- mia the national and race warfare between “native” Bohemian and German Bohemian 1s 80 keen that the working classes in that country cannot act together, In Germany the working classes are divided into Schuizeaner and Lassalleaner, and these are the two camps in Vienna; but in Bohemia the two camps are the German camp and the Czechian camp, Lastly, at Pesth, on Sunday week, the followers of Lassalle invaded and broke up a meeting of the fol- lowers of Schulze-Delitzsch, who had assembled in the Agricultural Institute, with admission by ticket. After the performance of this discreditable feat the Lassalleaner held a meetingof theirown, 1 observe that three languages were used during the proceed- ings—namely, Hungarian, Slowack and German, ‘The absence of a common language will ve even a greater hindrance to the progress of the working class movement in Hungary than it will be in Bo- hemia. On the other hand, the antagonism of race is not so strong among the working classes of the Hungarian cities as it is among those of the Bohemian centres of industry. The Russian Intrigue Against Turkey—Re- duction of the Imperial Army. A letter from Vienna dated the 29th of February says:—The whole Kusslan press and certain other Journals affect to feel commiseration for the fate of the Ottoman empire, which they represent as a great nation standing in need only of ministers and honest public servants. This is the repetition of the story of the mote aud the beam. On the other han ieee pres highly the Shah of Persia’s governmen' and the administration of that country. If tae Eastern world is to be regenerated the work, they say, can only be begun at Teheran.. At the same time, and aa Score all this, the report is spread that the Sultan furious with the Shah, that he is contemplating the expulsion from the Otto- man territory of such Pe subjects as are within it, and the number of these even is given as comprising forty thousand families who would by this measure be thrown back into their own country and the adjoining deserts, Here you Bee the object of these schemes, which are continu- ally increasing in dimension, Compelled by the en- ergetic attitude of the three Powers to let the Rou- man, Bulgarian, Servian and Candiote questions alone, the concoctors of these disputes are laboring to get up a Turko-Persian quarrel, Should a con- flict arise between those two empires—and in the present state of matters this is not impossible—the Ottoman Power in European Turkey would receive thereby so terrible a slock that a few bands of adventurers — skilfully suflice to bring about a catastrophe which is complaceutly re- garded as being indetinitely postponed. ‘Thus, unui further tnformed, the understanding 1s thal everything is for the best in Roumania and Servia. The General Correspondence of Vienna has the fol- lowing:—In virtue of a supreme decision of the 18th of February—1. The military bands except those of the infantry regiments are abolished from the 31st of March. 2 All the squadrons of cavalry are reduced to 98 men ea 8. ‘The artillery ammunition wagons are suppress and will consequently no longer re- quire horses, 4. ‘The engineer and pioneer compa- nies are reduced, the former by ten men and the iat- ter by five. 5, On the other hand the Sixth squadron is re-established in the regiments of dragoons, bear- ing the numbers of 1 to7 and9 to 12, ‘Ihe restora- tfon of these squadrons is not to lead to any advance- ment for the ouicers, Other important retrench- ulead are to be expected shortly in the army udet. The recent marriage of the Archduke Henry of Ausiria with Mile, Hoffmann, the actress, suggests the following reflections to the Augsburg Gazelle:— Before his marriage the Archduke asked -to be re- nd as general of division at married he has been deprived, of the Sixty-third intaniry, which has been given to Prince Louis of Bavaria, husband of the Arciduchess Maria Theresa; finally, signation as lieutenant general hus been ac- and he has now no military position what- ever, When, formerly, the Archduke Stephen fell into disgrace he retained his military rank and his regiment. Possibly this affair may give rise to a serles of interesting questions. Kor instance, the murriage contracted by the Archduke Henry 13 null ding to thé domestic law of the Impertal family, ecuuse it has been entered into without the assent of the peror, and yet it is vaiid in the eyes of the Church, ‘The question too may be asked, in what form shall the wife of the Archduke be addressed, since, evidently, she has not become Archduchess ‘and cannot bear the name of her husband, and, on the pe hand, neither special appellauon nor titles have been bestowed upon her? FRANCE. Opinion o! (vr. Disraeli’s Premiersutp. The resignation of Lord Derby of the Premiersivp of England is remarked on by several of the Paris journals, but more in reference to Mr. Disraeli’s ele- vation to the place of Prime Minister, than to the noble lord’s retirement, [From the Paris Patrie, Feb, 28.] The London Standard—the principal organ of the tories—expresses delight at the nomination of Mr. Disraeli, and the only objections will be made by some fossil members of that party—some of those men who have heen outstripped by the ideas of their day, aud who hmagine that a great nobleman should he at the head of that self-called aristocratic party in England, Nevertheless, the accession to the leader- ship of the Ministry of anew man like Mr. Disraeli, who is, as is said in France, le fils de ses wucres, and is not connected with the aristocracy by birth, is a departure from the English traditions, The fact must be remarked that this ino ance of the custom is taking place under administration—ihat is to say, the party which persons unacquainted with English politics consider etrograde and aristocratic. Nothing can © incorrect. That illustrious and political English oligarchy is so enlightened and has such con- fidence in itself that it yields to no one the merit of carrying out reforms from the day on which they appear Lo it to be commanded by public opinion and tw have become fully mature, It has just accom. ae electoral reform 4s, not long since, Sir Robert Peel, & great tnan who issued from its ranks, with + the final support of the Duke of Wellington, passed the bili for the abolition of the corn laws.

Is England indebted to it for her institutions and her customs? We will not here examine that question; but what is certidn is that Uns progressive and continued acces sion of statesmen, who have long been trained to public life, and who are produced by the regular working of pacific conficts, is one of the most strik- ing #pectacles offered by England, and may be medt- tated on with profit by other nations, [From the Paris La Presse, Feb, 28.) r. Disraeli now sees the dream of his life real- . Son of a literary man, having entered life nself as a writer, founder of a radical journal, and sent to Parliament for the first time by the suffrages of the advanced liberals, behold him now, without the aid of fortune, birth or social relations, but by the sole force of talent and character, the leader of the aristocratic party and the Queen's Prime Minis- ter. To those who would be inclined to doubt the Srorress whieh the democratic spirit has made in Engiand, it Is sutticient to oppose the elevation of Mr. Disracii, Whoever should thirty years ago have pre- 1 this result would only have excited a smile of incredulity, This is what the party has come to h ‘ons in its ranks the Howards, the Percics, the Talbots and the Berkeleys—all families which ad themselves on be ee drops of Norman lood in their veins, the richest and most haughty aristocracy in Europe, Here is this party elevating to power by its support, and recog- nizing as ofticlal leader and Prime Minister of the Crown a plebelan of Jewish extraction, who inherited from his father a education and @ few books, himself a man of letters, who with great cifort be- came proprietor of a small domain in the county of Buckingham, Behold the successor of the opulent propre of Knowsley Hall and of twenty other eats, of the great nobleman who was able to give to his sovereign 40 sumptuous a be orth as to make her believe that she liad not left Windsor!

This circumstance is charac:erisiic of the manners of the English Citambers, in which political rivalities are rigorously confined within the Hmits of principles ; and doctrines, and never degenerates into per- | sonatitics, The confict between opinions, however sharp it may be, leaves entirely untouched the respect due to persons.

Review of the Political Situation in Turiey— Dangers of the Ottoman Empire. ‘The Russian view of what is going on in one of the most interesting provinces of Turkey ts contained in the followin correspondence from Zara, in Dalmatia, which appears in the St. Petersburg oficial paper Invalide, The writer says:—The journey of General Philippovitch, the Austrian Governor of Dalmatia, to Montenegro shows better than anything what she Sclavonians of Turkey have to expect from Austria. Much as the Vienna papers may try to prove that the political importance of the Sclavontan race is nothing but a dream, conceived in the brains of some lin- guistic enthusiast, the Austrian statesmen know better, and have begun to look upon southeastern events with a vigilant eye, not unaccompanied by apprehension. The detaiis which I am in a position to communicate on the visit of General Philippovitch to Prince Nicholas of Montenegro are sufficient evi- dence of this, What renders them the more interest- ing ia that they prove the co-operation of Austria and France in tern affairs, General Philippovitch started on his journey with & numerous suite of both civil and military officers. When passing through Cattaro he declared to a deputation of mu- nicipal and rural officials who came out to welcome him that his journey was @ matter of courtesy. Pyince Nicholas bein, called nm himon his wayio Venice, he (Philippovitch) could not but return the compliment and visit him in his own capital of Cettinye. At Cattaro General Philippovitch was met by a detachment of the Montenegrine body guard, who escorted him tothe residence of their prince. Immediately after him M. Viette, the French Consul at Scutari, arrived at the capital of the little princi- pality. A conference was then held at the palace, at which Prince Nicholas, his father-in-law, and the two new arrivals were present. ‘The French and Austrian representatives insisted that Montenegro should not interfere in the differences exisung between Servia and Turkey. Austria and France, they declared, were perfectly agreed on the matter, and would not suffer Montenegro to join in the struggle that migit possibly break out between the Porte and its refrac- tory vassal. ‘fo this positive demand jthe prince replied that Montenegro would be happy to keep qniet provided she was allowed the extension of territory so indis- pensable in her embarrassed situation. ‘The prince said:—* Give us @ port and enlarge our frontiers to- wards the North and I will guarantee the neutrality of Montenegro. We cannot remain in our present position, which but too closely resembles that of a prisoner. Consider my proposal, and bear in mind that you possess a means of keeping my warriors out of the fray.” The territory alluded to by the prince is Nikshitiah, Jablyak, and Spi, with the port of Spltch on the’ Adriatic; but Austria is opposed to any addition to his dominions, and General Philippovitei told the prince in the plainest terms that the Vienna and Paris governments would never allow Turkey to cede a harbor to Montenegro, M. Viette supported the General, adding, however, that the two Powers would endeavor to obtain Nikshitsch and Jablyak for the prince, if he would engage in writing to remain neutral in the event of a war between Servia and ‘Turkey, or an insurrectton in Bosnia and Her- zegovina, The prince at length gave a verbal promise to that eftect, General Philippovitch. not thinking a written instrament — indispensable, But, in resisting Montenegrine ambition, Austria has no desire to constitute herself the protector of Turkish integrity. The proceedings of her repre- sentatives in Bosnia and Herzegovina clearly mani- fest the equivocal policy she has of late pursued to- wards the Porte. Conservative in all that relates to Montenegrine ageraudizement, she is not at all so in regard to those provinces upon which she herself has aneye. A glance at the Herzegovina will leave no doubt on this head, Her agent in that country is Vice Consul Vasitch, an Austrian subject of South Sclavonian origin. Warmly devoted to Baron Benst and his policy, it is, perhaps, from his love of the dualism now prevaliimg at Vienna that his proceed- ings are so very ambiguous. As Baron Beust en- deavors to satisfy both the Cis-Leithanians and the ‘Trans-Leithanians, 80 Vasitch seeks to make himself agreeable to the Cis-Naretvians—the Turks as well us the Trans-Naretvians—the Christians.* Not to se suspicion in the Turk, Vasitch has been in- siructed to support the Pachas in hates | and wake their side in case of any complaints of the in- habitauis being brought to his official cognizance, At the same time he is suffered to betray the deepest sympatny in the position of the Christians, and, indeed, permits no opportunity to pass without giving them to understand how happy they might be under the sceptre of the great Austrian Kaiser, His doings are zealously seconded by M. Moravski, the French Vice Consul there, This gentleman, & Pole, an merly a Russian subject, now a refugee, on entering French service changes his name from Moravski to Moreau, and in his politics is like the rest of his countrymen inundating Western Europe and especially France, Inveterately hostile to Russia and everything Russian, M, Moreau-Moravski takes delight in co-operating with his valued friend M. Vasitch. Fearing that the Herzegovinese, were they ever to become independent, would be friendly to Russia, all his energies are directed to the one object oft keeping them under foreign control, Among the Various means resorted to for this purpose not the most insigniticant is the propagation of Catholi- Rm ag bitter and implacabie enemy of Sclavonic revival. While thus acting in concert and lending their official countenance fo the Turkish authorities, MM, Vasitch and Moreau-Moravski are indefatigable in assuring their other colleague, as also the ‘few European travellers whoin chance leads to those out of the way districts, that the country is ‘in excellent condition,’ that the Christians are very well off under ‘Turkish rule, that their complaints are unfounded and-so on. In a word, Wiile officially engaged or conversing with strangers, MM. Vasitch and Morean are as sincere well-wistiers of Turkey as she could desire, But in their confidential interview with the inhabitants, especially with those of the mercantile class, having dealings with Vienna, ‘Trieste and other Austrian towns, Vasiich and Moreau appear in a totally diner ent character, They then hold forth on the selfish designs of Russia in wishing to possess herself of ‘Turkey, and the sufferings such a change would en- tail upon the Christian Sclaves, whose treatment Would be similar to that of the Poles, With this dark picture they contrast the magnificent future the South Selivonian countries might enjoy under Austrian rule. ‘The assurances of the consuis are followed up by those of tae Catholic priests, whose secret intrigues never cease, ‘The intentions of Austria are as Clear asday. Since the return of General Phiippoviich from Cettinye persons of high «ling in the oit¢ial word of Dalmatia no longer care to conceal their views, but openly avow that in the event of « War between Servia and Turkey Bos nia and Herzegovina will be forthwith occupied by the Ausirians, the capital of the He Vu, Turks wud Crista ovina, ff situate on the upying the opporite THE CONNECTICUT CHILD MURDER.

Pendleton as Presidential oandidate tor the en- sning canvass, while the Cleveland and Babcock wing (conservative democratic) cannot be said to be committed to anybody. ‘the greatest bitter- ness, though mufied and stient, prevails between these two democratic cliques, though the former has been driven by the result of the New Hampshire election to keep silence during the pending canvass in Connecticut. On the other hand, had New Hamp- shire, the canvass of which was managed by the cop- panne qiven ademocratic majority, the copper- heads necticut would have ‘insisted upon inanaging the canvass for themselves, with Pendleton as Presidential candidate and W. W. Eaton as candl- date for the United States Senate; while, as it is, should the democrats gain possession of the lature, English will be eiected United States Senator, with @ prospect of the Connectieut support for Presi- dential candidate before the coming Democratic Convention to meetin New York city. ‘The projected election of English to the United States Senate is in- tended, in fact, simply to give him prominence before the nation and secure to him a possible prospect of becoming the democratic nominee for the canvass of 1868. Should Enghsh fail in convention, as he pro- bably will, he stil) remains United States Senater from Connecticut, and the delegation will pledge itself to @ candidate with a war record. ‘This, to be brief, is the democratic programme as based YH tne preceding figures, and should the figures fail, as tigures sometimes will, the Connecti- cut democracy will waive all Presidential aspira- tions and follow after the banner of any hero who may bid fair to lead them to victory. In any case there will be a bitter contest at the May election be- tween the copperheads and conservatives for the session of tue Connecticut delegation, in which, however, the copperheads will be beaten. ‘The issue of tue New Hampshire election is, in fact, a subject of felicitation among the conservative democrats, as there the copperheads put forth their strength and were defeated. The consequence is that they have been compelled to miuitie their mouths in the Connecticut canvass, and the State, for this reason, is probably safe, and will give an unin] majority against radicalism, eveu with Grant at its head, Politica in Rhode Island. ‘The Rhode Isiand election occurs on Wednesday, April. The State is scarcely big enough to be of much account any way, although it is full of pluck, piety and patriotism, The republicans have renomi- nated General Burnside for Governor, and the demo- crats Lymeon Pearce. As General Burnside was elected last year by a majority of more than two to one—7,372 against 3,178—of course there can be no doubt about the result this year, hol Politics in Virginin—Curious Radical Discloe sures. ‘The radicals in Virginia seem to be getting them- selves into an inextricable muddle, John Hawx- burst, radical aspirant for governor, is out in a letter against Judge Underwood—who, with his usual modesty, 13 a radical aspirant for the seat of Chief Justice Chase on the United States Supreme bench— in which he makes the following interesting family disclosures:— Some time in March, 1867, the State Central Com- mittee held a meeting and called what is known as the April Convention, and at the same time ap] inted & sub-committee to go North to solicit funds with which to organize the party of the State, I was one of that com. mittee, and shortly after called on Judge Underwood for letters of introduction to be used in aid of the work.

He says he is no candidate for office and shall not be; that he may have offended some of his radical friends by not setting aside certain elections and nét dismissing certain ofiicers; but he lacked the power to do 80. As for the Kuklux Klan, he could not send the militia out to suppress it, for the Legislature had repealed the military law and passed a new one, which was not effective. He regards the day of sectionalism to have passed. In relation to the Presidency, he looks for the approaching contest to be as one of the most bitter and exciting that has occurred in this country within the recollection of the present generation. He believes that General Grant will be the nominee of the republican party and President Johnson that of the democratic. He firmly believes the former ticket will prevail, and that the country will be safe. After denying a statement ina republican paper that the question of negro suffrage was not before the people of Connecticut in the present canvass, the Hartford Times says:— ‘The constitutional amendment conferring su: upon negroes is before the people of Connecticut tl spring. The amendinent was passed by the radicals of the House last summer, and, under the constitu- tion, it mast be acted upon by the Legislature now about to be elected. No voter can cast a ballot for Senator or Kepresentative in any town in this State, on the 6th of April, without voting for or against negro suffrage. ‘The radical party, iu its platform, is committed to negro suffrage.
