THE COLORED VOTERS.
The election just passed bss Jone mnch
to prove the utter falsity of the Democratic
pretenses of horror at negro suffrage amt
negro supremacy. If by means ot negro
Totes they can be enable*! to role, it haa
I>een shown l>y this election that they axe
willing to use them to gain their emla.
Thu* we tint I them in some counties run
ning negroes for office anil voting for them
in preference of their ow n race. In others
colored voters are flattered, cheated and
bribed for the purjawe of obtaining their
suffrages, and the busiest electioneers, and
those most eager lor the colored man's vote,
are those who profess such a holy horror at
his having any vote at all, and the prose
cutions and denunciations which they
licstow so lil>erally upon the colored man
are, evidently, not because he is a negro—
not because he is a voter —but merely
because he will not vote Democratic; any
one who will do as they dictate becomes
immediately a marvellous proper man, all
sorts of promises are made to him, he is
carrcsscd and praised, and the same arts
are practised upon him as were, and still
are, used to gain the votes of poor white
men. The same threats arc used toward
him, and the same premises, never meant
to be executed, are made to him.
One. who had witnessed the election
scenes of last week, and did not under
stand the character of the party calling
itself Democratic, would Ire somewhat sur
prised at the scenes presented about the
l>olls. The old slaveholding aristocrats,
ardent members of the “white mans
party," men who sturdily and persistently
have been cursing the negro, becaus? he
had obtained the rights of a freeman, could
be seen arguing, expostulating, bribing,
promising, threatening, and in sly corners
treating, out of their own whiskey bottles,
the “niggers," who they and their newspa
pers have so cursed and blackguarded.
They seemed to think that one day's flat
tery could obliterate the memory of all the
abuse they have been showering on the
colored man for months. They have been
continually ascribing to the white inetn
bers of the Republican party the use of the
most unworthy means to control the colored
vote, yet they were guilty of practices ten
times more despicable than even they have
dared to ascribe to Republicans. Having
most of the money, for they have contin
ually taunted the Republican leaders with
their poverty, they have been enabled to
bag such votes as were to lie bought with
money or whiskey.
To the honor of the colored Voters, it
should be recorded that the despicable
attempts of the disunionists have met with
little success. They have gone forward
and voted as they believed to be best, in
spite of the influences brought to bear upon
them. Here and there one might be found
who was bought or intimidated into voting
with the Democracy; but, as a general
thing, they have stood up nobly to their
principles Threats have had no effect
upon most of them, and no money could
buy them. Many voted under the knowl
edge that they would be turned out of
their homes as soon as the election was
over, and in many cases that has been done;
but we have vet to find one who regrets
having voted as his conscience dictated.
Despite the many provocations offered,
they have passer! througli the crisis of this
exciting election quietly, and without
serious outbreak. Who shall say that such
a people are not the material out of which
can Ire made good citizens, when elevated
by education ? *
SOCIAL OSTRACISM.
That community is in a lamentably
Unhealthy social condition, which permits,
unrebuked, the manifestation of a spirit of
politieal intolerance; but how much more
deplorable is that state of society which
ostracises intellectual culture, personal
merit, Christian virtue, and high moral
integrity, for political opinion’s sake. Yet
in this enlightened age, and in this proud
and generous and high-minded section of
this progressive country, this bigoted spirit
is making rapid and serious inroads. Its
continued growth will sap the foundations
of society, and ultimately destoy it; while
true friendship and confidence between
neighbors will soon lie unknown.
Our people, remarks the Era, have
hitherto regarded the manifestation of
what is termed “strong-mindedness” by
females, and the intermeddling by them
with politics, as unbecoming the sex, and
have frowned it down. But of late years,
the poison has entered, and seems to be
diffusing through Southern society. Lines
are attempted to lie drawn, and, no matter
what the moral worth of parties may be,
if they politically differ, they are excluded
from the society of those of opposite
political sentiments. It should lie checked
before it is too late, and before those, Once
personal friends, become forever alienated,
perha]Mt bitter foes.
It is to lie hoped those occupying elevated
social positions, and who can control this
matter, will use their influence to do so
before the evil becomes so deeply rooted as
to lie ineradicable. They cannot begin too
soon ; nor could they do themselves more
credit, or society, generally, n greater ser
vice, than to break down this “wall of par
tition,’’ restore the good feeling and genial
ity of spirit which formerly enlivened
Southern society, and cemented personal
friendship. Let the good w ork begin, and
let all bitterness, growing out of jxolltical
differences, be wiped out und forgotten.
Virginia is entitled to eight representatives
in Congress to be elected from districts, and
out at large.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The Impeachment 7Hot— Public Opinion—Belief

fendere of Waehington—Mayor of Alexan
dria—Regietration—Colored Minium— Trade

WisniMOTOK, D..C., April 22, 1868.
The impeachment court opened to-day
with, if anything, a more brilliant and
larger audience than on any occasion here
tofore-: nil peoples, each State of the Union,
every branch of the Government, and every
clnss of people, wore apparently represented
on the floor and in the galleries. The
Diplomatic gallery for the first time was full,
and the opening argument for the prosecu
tion was listened to with breathless atten
tion.
The impression is now almost universal
that, before the ending of another week, the
great Obstructionist will be removed, and
Vice President Wade will be snugly en
sconced in the White House. God grant
it may be so, for such a result would at once
restore peace to the country, harmony in
the administration, and revive business
everywhere. The Southern States will all be
rehabilitated before the Ist of June and the
Union restored as it should be. The city is
full of representative men from all parts of
the Union anxiously awaiting the result.
Representative conservative men from the
South, now here, do not hesitate to say that
the conviction of Andrew Johnson closes
the war—it is peace ;no class at the South
will longer resist the Reconstruction laws of
Congress, but all will at once acquiesce, for
what can not be cured must be endured.
With Mr. Wade in the Wbise House, the
mission of the Republican party will be
carried out to the letter, aiid tour years
more lease of power will be secured
in which to complete the great work.
On the other hand, the acquittal of Mr.
Johnson would produce confusion and
greatly endanger the peace of the country;
acquitted, he would be backed up by the
whole Democratic Copperhead party of the
North and the rebel Conservative party
South. A man of Mr. Johnson’e character,
thus backed up, would not hesitate to take
any step, however revolutionary, if it suited
his purposes. If heretofore he has refused
to obey laws, beoause, in his own opinion,
unconstitutional, what would he not do, if
acquitted now ? The man is desperato
enough and bad enough to commit almost
any political crime, and the possibility of
such a man remaining longer in power is
not a pleasant prospect to the reflective
man. Business in all commercial marts,
in fact, throughout the whole country, is at
a stand-still, for capital is timid; and the
men who hold the purse strings realize that
the turning point in our affairs as a nation
is near at hnnd. A Republican form of
government is still un experiment. Mr.
Webster to the uuntrhry notwithstanding.
Our institutions have stood the test of
slavery, the shock of arms with foreign
powers, and a gigantic civil war ; but one
more test remains, and that is the removal
of a usurping Chief Magistrate. If the
Senate of the United States has the moral
courage to do this, the Rubicon in our
history as a nation will have been passed.
ANOTHER MONUMENT.
Some time ago a movement was set on
foot to erect a suitable monument to com
memorate the gallant deeds of the Union
soldiers who died in defence of Washing
ton against Early’s attack, in 1864. The
matter was dropped to take up more press
ing demands, but as soon as the great trial
has been closed Congress will take some
definite action in the matter. The bodies
of the slain now lie together in a lot half a
mile beyond Fort Stevenson, on the 7th
street pike, near the spot where the princi
pal fight took place. A majority of them
were members of the Second Brigade ol
the Second Division of the 6th Corps, that
brigade having withstood the onslaught of
the whole of Jackson’s Division.
CUSTOMS.
The receipts (rotn customs thus far during
the present month have been very large—
averaging about a half million dollars per
day. The Internal Revenue receipts are
also unusually large, hence it is expected
the public debt ivilh he materially reduced
the present month.
HARD PUSHED.
Andrew Johnson’s special correspondent
and private Secretary telegraphed to several
papers lust Sunday night that General
Grnnt hull absented himself from the cily,
and intimated that lie had done so to avoid
testifying in the impeachment ease. The
facts are, General Grant left for New York
an Saturday, and returned to Washington
Monday morning. The President’s corres
pondent must be hard pushed for means to
make capital, when forced to resort to such
statements. General Grant is no sneak,
whatever faults he may have.
Another trick equally contemptible, was
the offering ol a resolution in the House by
Mr. Robinson pf Now York, to rescind the
impeachment resolution and to recall the
managers. This had been predicted for
several days by the President's correspon
dents to give the matter eclat. The opinion
of the House of Representatives in relation
to this subject, may be injerred from the
vote refusing to receive the resolution—lß
yeas to 91 nays.
CONFEDERATE PROPERTY.
The total amount of Confederate property
thus far recovered in Europe is $144,157.15.
ItKUISTHATION. ’
The work of registering votes is going on
very quietly but satisfactorily—the indica
tions being that the Republicans will have
nu increased majority at the next municipal
election to be held on June Ist.
FIRST REPUBLICAN MAYOR.
Win. N. Berkley, Esq., the first Republican
Mayor of the ancient city ol Alexandria, Vu.,
was inducted into office yesterday. Some of
the unreconstructed whites threaten to move
away, but the query with them is where can
wo go? They find Republicans to the riulit
of them, Republicans to the left of them, In
deed, Republicans are all around them.
cororeo ministers.
The Collegiate Institute, corner 22d and
1 streets, in this city, of which Rev. Dr. Tur
nev is President, has, as pupils, about 75
colored men studying for the ministry.
They are well advanced in their studies, and
all are engaged in teaching a portion of the
time iu this pity ami immediate vicinity.
Fheir ultimate fiold ol labor will bo among
the people of their own color at the South.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Fort Vau.bv, Ga., April 25, 1808.
Editor National Republican :
The election has possed off quietly in our
county, Houston. The opposition to the new
Constitution made a desperate fight for the
offices of the county, which the present in
cumbents have held for years, but without
success. They spent at least five thousand
dollars in whiskey, clothing, and kniek
knacks, to control the freedraen’s 'vote of the
county, but no go. Old masters marching
before their once slaves, who had Demo
cratic tickets in their hands, f-esh from the
corn fields, etc., would, in the transit to the
polls, change tickets, and vote, as they called
it, for “the flag that freed them." For three
hundred dollars, as said, and plenty of whis
key, some of the Federal soldiery actively
engaged in trying to make new converts to
the Democratic ranks ; but they were foiled,
as they (the freedmen) had already been told
that “wolves were sometimes found in sheep’s
clothing." And it was demonstrated in one
instance, when this same detachment, a week
back, was on the road to Perry, shot dead
by the wayside an iuoffensivc negro, because
he would not give them his jack knife.
The Democracy has not controlled, there
fore, old Houston, one of the six of the
heaviest populated counties in the State.
And just here allow me to chronicle the fact
that our own town (one of the polling places)
gives Bollock and the Constitution 295 ma
jority. Two thirds of the votes were east at
Perry, which we have not heard from.
A Citizen.
Warre.vtox, Ga., April 27.
Editor National Republican :
Enclosed find result of the election in
this county, and from all information your
correspondent has, the Constitution is rati
fied and Bollock elected Governor; so we
may now hope a return of our proud State
to her positioti as a State into the American
Union. Peace and prosperity will again
hover over her fertile fields. Her laws

There is«a probability that Geu. James S.

pRKaurTHUN licufftox.—For thirty-one
▼can the Presbvtemns of .be United States
haw been divided, and known respectively
as tlio New and Old School, but a general
convention of delegates from the various
divisions adopted, last jear, a basis for
reunion, and it is now being discussed and
octet! upon in the subordinate synods and
presbyteries, whose ratification is necessary.
The Presbyterians of Western New York
recently met at Buffalo, and unanimously
agreed to the proposed plan. Their exam
ple will probably bo generally followed
throughout the country, and as the leading
clergymen on both sides are in favor of tha
measure, a great breach of thirty years'
standing will at last be healed. The abro
gation of slavery and the prevalence of
more liberal views respecting abstract ques
tions of theology have materially paved the
way for the unity of the denomination.
