National Ucpublican A.ITUU>»TA. oa. TUESDAY MOBNinO *-- A P ralß « JJ* For pKKSIDKNT Os thk CTmtw> Status: ULYSSES S. GRAM'. 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. OFFICIAL lulectioiilietuiuiw THE VOTE FOR GOVERNOR. COISTIKB |J| COUNTIES J| J .... .T.

The Impeachment 7Hot— Public Opinion—Belief in Conviction—The Effect — Heceipte of Coe lome—lnternal Revenue—Monument to the De fendere of Waehington—Mayor of Alexan dria—Regietration—Colored Minium— Trade icitk the Provt'ncee. 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. TRADE WITH THE PROVINCES. The Director ol the Bureau of Statistics has compiled a statement, showing the nature and extent of our trade with the British American Provinces during the fiscal year ending June 30tb, 1867, of which the follow ing is a synopsis : T«tal value of imports from Canada, $26,397,867, of which $7,482,726 was free, and $18,915,141 dutiable; the total estimated duties upon which $3,799,710.

CAPITAL. —a 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 justly and impartially executed, with malice or hatred to none, but with an unwavering devotion to the Union and equal rights to mankind, all the interests of our State will be properly looked to ; while the administra tion ol the laws are under the management of Col. R. B. Bullock. Georgian. THE COURT OF IMPEACHMENT. • The following table of United States Sena tors, classified according to political parties, will be valuable for reference just at this time. There are fifty five Senators in all, thirty seven being required to impeach the President.

Mrs. Stowe has returned to Hartford from Florida. The late John Magee left $30,000 to each of the American Tract Society and tiie Bible Society. In tbe sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet of April 4, after a prelimi nary conference of the members, the elec tion of M. Kossuth was verified without, a debate. The report is authoritatively denied that Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, is about to become connected with a newspaper in Philadelphia. Major Bristol, State Treasurer of West Virginia, is a Republican candidate for Con gress in the Second District. There is«a probability that Geu. James S. Negley will be the Republican candidate for Congress in the Twenty Second (Pittsburgh) District ol Pennsylvania. A Southern paper states that John Mullaly, “the gallant editor” ol the MeLo politan Record, had the largest reception ever given any oue in Memphis. A doubtful compliment. The prominent candidates for United States Senator before the Connecticut Legis lature nre expected to be Kx-Goveruor Hawley, Ex Governor Bnckinham, the Hon. Augustus Braudegee, and the Hon. Henry B. Harrison. Should Mr. Colfax receive the Republican nomination for Vice President, it is intimated that his place as Speaker will bo filled by the Hon- Theodore M. Pomeroy, of New York, at present Chairman of the Bunking und Currency Committee of the House of Repre sentatives. '1 ho Virginia Convention lias appointed June 2d for submitting the Constitution to the people, and Sutu officers, members ol the Legislature and Congress will he elected at the sttino time. The Legislature elected is to assemble June 24, if the Constitution is .adopted. Attempts to modify the iron clad oath, and to relieve certain parties from political disability, were defeated in the Virginia Convention. 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. [Boston Journal. .
