PUOHR, Proprietor ami Publisher Secretary of the Treaivry't Re port. We present this mommy, in our Tele emphie columns, it very interesting and full ahetrafi* of the Secretary of the Treasury** "Report, to which we incite the particular attention of financiers and others. Read it, no other paper has it. Impartial Suffrage. The question of impartial suffrage is a very delicate one, and wo Imre no advice to give in regard to it. It is, how ever. being discussed pretty freely in the papers, and will, no doubt, be de cided at the approaching session of Congress. What this decision will be it is easy to anticipate. The Constitu tional amendment has proved a failure. The South very properly rejected it. If injuries and unjust measures are to be fastened upon us, there is no reason why we should voluntarily fasten them upon ourselves. There is a certain quality of dignity which a people, no matter how fallen in fortune they may be. should resolutely preserve. This the South has done. She has honestly and faithfully performed all that has been required of her; but there is more to be required of her—and among other things will be impartial suffrage, or, in other words, the right of the negroes to vote. It is useless to say that Congress can not constitutionally force such a meas. ure upon the States. Those who take this view forget that we are conquered provinces : that we are at the mercy of a Radical Congress, and that State Rights, and Democratic Republican ism are exploded notions of political economy. If, therefore, distasteful or unjust laws and conditions Rrc forced upon us, what can we do to avert them ? We can only protest against them, and trust to .the good sense am) justice of the American people to relieve us of our burden in the future. We can, too, encourage negro emigration and foreign immigration, and thus secure eventually a balance of power in the Government, which will secure to us all the constitu tional rights which justly belong to us, but which we are not now prepared to claim. If the negroes want to go to the North and West, where good homes and I and a genial population is prepared to welcome them, or to Africa, where civil rights and civil and military promotion await them, let us aid them and encour age them to go. It will bo to their in tercst and to ours. If we can secure the immigration of a thrifty and indus trious European population to the South, we should do so. It will bo to their in terest and to ours. The National Intelligencer and Gov. Walker, of Florida, have lately shown the impracticability and the injustice of impartial suffrage. But, al is ! we are not in the hands of the National Intel ligencer and Gov. Walker, of Florida. We are in the hands of a Radical Con gress. What can we do? We can only act with prudence and discretion, and hope for the best. Shall Convicts be Taught the Me chanic Arts ? The Macon (Ga.) Citizen has a very sensible editorial on this subject, in which the question is taken that “no class of the community should have an evil fastened upon them from which other classes are exempted."’ In other words, there is no reason why the Peni tentiary couvicts should be taught the mechanic arts, while the learned pro fessions are not taught in that institu tion. A physician or a lawyer would object to associate with one of either of these professions who had received his education in the penitentiary, and this they would have a right to do. Why should not the mechanic have the same objection with as much reason? What applies to the oue class in this respect mutt apply equally to the other. There are other modes of labor which can be applied to the convicts besides the me chanic arts, and the learned professions, arid, therefore ought to be applied. We are pleased to notice that the views of the Penitentiary Committee of the Leg islature, in their late Report, coincides with ours ; and we may say with the Citizen: "No class of the community should have an evil fastened upon them from which other classes are exempted. Besides, in the present state of the country, every possible development and encouragement should he given to the mechanical and manufacturing in terests of the .State, instead of throwing odiom upon them, by placing lclons on the same platform with honest men. The recommendations of the commis sioners are good. The convicts should he employed in the rock quarries, iron, lime, and coal mines, working on public improvements, at servile labor, as the most useful to the State and least pre judicial to those engaged in honorable industrial pursuits —and we hope the Legislature will adopt iheir suggestions.
