Negro Suffrage and

, n commenting a few weeks ago upon an
°?hv lhe Democrats to the Conserva-
PfLl/ 0 tt re imlependent of party rolaiious
fe ’ ir support in the earning Presidential
Vnon we took the ground that the plat-
.ffered was entirely too narrow to at-
. tlle juviletl help, and that it must be
a j i 0 certain important particulars be
lt will be sufficient to support a victo-
ir !:. omauizatiou from the elements pro-
We have since discussed at greater
Si a tew of the suggestions then briefly
1 un<l we now propose to give some
\.ns lor lhe adoption of an affirmative
L 0 n the question of negro sufftage.
ijjill be remembered by our readers that
proposed, as a part of the creed, the ex-
u to the black race, through State leg-
itiou, ol the privilege of suffrage under
rtaia ’restrictions as to either or both of
Permeations of [roperty and education,
nis oas been met by some of the more cau-
i of the Democratic papers with the ques-
Wby go beyond the simple proposi-
submission by the white race to
-ro rule ■ ’ To this some have added,
fiJ us in restoring tbe authority of the Con-
uutiju over all the land, and depend on
deal kindly with tbe negro when we
the power. But the subject cannot be
..rked in tnis way, and there are too many
Mealed iu a just settlement of this serious
fieuliy to he satisfied with the negative
•(i|Msiuou above noted.
We have no hesitation in saying, frankly,
it between instant unqualified negro suff-
uud entire denial to tbe race of ibis
vilege, we would greatly prefer the lat-
li would be far more humane to the
„cka themselves. VVe do not object to
ucatrieted suffrage without regard to color
cause we have any fears that tbe black
ij will tyrannizs over the Caucasian, and
himself up as paramount in the land,
it we do fear that indiscriminate negro
ting, especially in localities where tbe
lacks are numerous, and more or less uo-
:ed to appreciate the nature of the
rivilege, will lead by its inevitable fruits
a decided reaction iu public sentiment,
id provoke a collision between the races,
which the inferior would greatly suffer, if
be entirely crushed. The future of the
_r « is dark enough at the best, and will
so without this added risk. The ballot,
we have heretofore shown in an argu-
lent no one has attempted to answer, so
from being a protection to him, as mauy
ipeificul observers have claimed, will
ring him into fresh perils. By holding out
suffrage as an inducement to the ac-
isitiun of property and education, some
those dangers may be avoided, and with
restrictions all unprejudiced persons
;q)!d be satisfied to see the experiment
airly tried. Upon any circumstances he
'aooot long survive his contact with the
ite man. His race will perish in
attrition, since they must be arnalga-
!ed, or forever denied all hope of social
liality.
And this brings us to the question which
.ny will ask, “Why not make the same
-lor both whites and blacks, and let the
offrage bo impartial, applying the same lim-
; wunout restriction as to color?” If the
ilege were now for the first time to be
inferred, we should be very glad to aid in
publishing such limits as would prevent its
ifcrcise by the ignorant and improvident of
ny color: where this ba9 been conceded it
difficult to recall it now, but we would go
lurtiier in that direction. Besides, the
races do not stand upon the same foot-
fig. and never will while they dwell together
“ith yip irate blood. We may admit all the
easons urged why this should not be so, but
$ will not change tho fact, which exists in
pite of the argument. The attempt to force
lie mass of ignorant, improvident blacks
into a position of perfect political equality
*itb tbe governing whites, will not only
Vil in itself, but will increase the popular
Trjudice against the whole race, and ren-
ier it nearly if not quite impossible to do
ay thiug to improve their social condition.
It is true that this is matter-for State,
fother than national legisla'ion; but one
party is forcing it iuto the canvass, and a
simple i pposition to its one idea of universal
Bucial and political equality for tbe negro is
not enough to satisiy those Conservatives
jrbo have ever been the truest friends of the
Piack man in all stages of the controversy.
e have already stated that between doing
iil that Radicalism asks for the black man
*nd denying it all, we woo d choose the lal-
ler > even out of kindness to him, if lor no
°iher reason; but we believe that tbere is a
[Diddle ground that would meet the views of
great body of the American people. The
pmer this is conceded and established the
better will it he lor all concerned.
The Outrage on American Citizens at
Monterey.
Brownsville, Tex , April 26, 1868.
Mr. Ferris Potter, a clerk in the United
States Quartermaster’s Department at this
post, who left Monterey on the 24tb inst. at
3 A. M., furnishes the following particulars:
On Tuesday evening the 21st inst., while
promenading together on one of the princi
pal streets of Monterey,. Mr. Earnest
Seichardt, Mr. Ferris H. Potter, Mr.
Samuel B. Kathrins, Mr. James Montgom
ery, Mr. Zaptha, Mr. Rice, six American
gentlemen and merchants of that city, were
arrested by a squad of the city police, by
order of Senor Davila, secretary ot Gjvernor
Frevino. They were delivered to the
captain of the police, and imprisoned in a
calaboose. Tbe cell into which they were
thrust wa9 low and filthy, and contained al
ready about seventy of the worst Mexican
criminals and vagabonds. On the morning
of the 221 inst., two of the six Americans
wero ordered by the police to carry out and
empty a tub containing the accumulated
tilth aud offal of the preceding twenty-four
hours. On their relusing to comply, the
jailor directed a convicted felon to lash them
with a cowhide. The felon obeyed, and
struck one of the two gentlemen several
hard blows in quick succession, cutting
through his clothes and drawing blood. The
gentlemen then took the tub irom the cell
iuto the yard and emptied it. Tbe whole
six were then forced to take brooms and
clean the cell and outyard of the prison.
One of the gentlemen hesitating to comply,
the jailor beat him, leaving permanent
mark*. After enduring every insult, these
gentlemen were taken, on the evening of the
22d, before the alcalde, who imposed a fine
of ten dollars on eacii of them, and would
hear no defence.
Mr. Montgomery demanded a hearing and
examination. He demanded as witness
Davila, Governor Trevino’s secretary. The
alcalde said he could not oblige that dignita
ry to come belorc him. The jailor, the turn
key, and the fellow who lashed the Ameri
cans, were brought into court. They cor
roborated the testimony as regards the brntal
treatment of the prisoners, and referred to it
in a pompous manner, saying it was their
right to thu9 treat all arrested persons. The
jailor had robbed tbem tbe previous night of
money aud valuables found on their persons.
Everything was taken except their watches.
Mr. Uirich finally prevailed, by argument,
upon the alcalde and the fiaes were remitted
aud all were released. The alcalde after
wards expressed his regret. Gov. Trevino,
it is reported, had expressed a regret over
the occurrence, but made no attempt to sat
isfy the outraged Americms. Lawyer Garz j
y Melo bad taken the case iu hand and made
a protest before tbe criminal judge.
There was great excitement among the
foreigners of all nationalities residing at
Monterey. They had closed their stores and
were organizing, in order, if the worst came
to the worst, to defend their lives, property
and homes. No excuse has been given for
the outrage, aud the cause is unexplained.
On the streets the rabble shouted. "Muren
los Americanos!”—Death to Americans !
Consol Ulrich has dispatenes on the way
to Secretary Seward.
The Suicide of Alice Purdy—Iler Last

a wrenceburg, which was not an unusual
occurrence. Here she remained a week or
in her ordinary good spirits, lively, and
Pparently contented, until the evening of

TERRIBLE CONVULSIONS OF NATl'RB
IN HAWAII.
A New York. Scandal.
[from the New York Correspondence of the Boston
Journal.]
New York is a9 grateful for a new sensa
tion a9 was the Homan Emperor who enno
bled a cook for furnishing him with a new
sauce. Just now the fashionable portion ol
the city are revelling in a new excitement.
We have here a gentleman who, through his
business, is as well known as is Bonner, Har
per, or Stewart He lives in fine style, has
a splendid house, and is surpassed by no one
in the elegance of his turnout on Central
Park. It was long supposed that his house
keeper was his wife. It turns out that he
does not live with his wife, and that she has
been lor a long time supporting hersMf in
this city by her needle, tihe is a very ele
gant and accomplished lady. For ner child
ren’s sake she held her peace for a long
while. The elegant gold embroidery which
made such a sensation at the Paris Exhibi
tion was from her needle. 8he found a
friend in the head of one of our fashionable
establishment?,and the fashionable and elabo
rate embroidery worn by the ton of New York
was the handiwork of this lady. Recently
her husband made a proposition to her. He
promised to settle on her a handsome sum
of money if she would allow him to obtain
a lull divorce under our laws. The proposal
was so infamous that the lady resolved to
bear her neglect in sorrow and silence no
longer. She issued a beautifully-printed
circular, announcing herself by her husband’s
name stating his business, so there could be
no mistake about the identity, offering her
sgrvices to the fasjhin&bles ol New York, as
signing as a reason for the offer that sbe
wished to obtain bread for herself and chil
dren, and stating that she could be found
daily at a fashionable dress making estab
lishment on Broadway. These circulars
were scattered broadcast among the fashion
able families of New York, and any quantity
of them were sent by private bauds to the
husband. His indignation is unbounded; for
be baa great personal pride. New York has
a nine days’ wonder. People crowd tbe
roojns where the lady ie advertised to be
seen, and where she sits day by day, with
“stitch, stitch, stitch," with the golden
thread of her embroidery. What the iaene
will be remains to be aeen.
Attempted Optbaqe.—One night laat
week, while Mr. Cornelius Smith, of Laurel
Mills 'Rappahannock county, was detained
in this place, a negro man in hia employ
took a horse from his stables and went to the
residence of Mrs. Noakes, tbe motber-in-iaw
of Mr. Smith, and told one of her daughters,
an exceedingly interesting yonng lady, yet
in her teens, that Mrs. Smith, her sister, had
been taken suddenly ill, and that he had
been sent with a horse upon which she was
to go oyer at once. The yonng lady started,
accompanied by the negro on foot. When
they reached the Rappahannock be insisted
(and this was doubtless the pre-arranged
plan) that she allow bim to ride over on tbe
horse behind her; she refused; he then
seized her and diagged her from the horse,
beat and choked her most cruelly and bit the
flush from her shoulders and arms in a shock
ing manner, in many places. Fortunately,
before be had accomplished his fiendish pur
pose the horse got away, and while he was
attempting to secure him sbe escaped by
fording the riser and running to a neighbor a
house some distance off, at whose door she
was found shortly afterward in an insensible
condition. Tbe negro was arrested on the
following morning (shame upon the man
who took bim alive); he conlessed hwsuilt,
and is now confined in the Rappahanpock
jail.— Warrmton (Fh.( Sentinel.

Manna Loa Again In Fierce Eruption—
An Immense New Crater Formed—Two
Thousand Earthquake Shocks — De
structive Tidal Wave—Loss or Life and
Property.
San Francisco, May 7.
The bark Cornet, from the Sandwich Islands,
brings accouuU of a terrible voleauie eruption
by Mauna Loa, which began its demonstrations
on March, 27tb. On the 28th one hundred
earthquake shocks were felt, and during the
two weeks following to April 13th, two thou
sand earthquake shocks occurred. At Wais-
chioa the fearth opened in many places,'and a
tidal wave 'sixty feet high rose over the tops of
the cocoa trees for a quarter of a mile inland,
sweeping human beings, houses, and
everything movable before it. A terrible
shock prostrated churches and houses, and
killed many persons. In all one hundred lives
were lost, besides a thousand horses and cattle.
The craters vomited fire, rocks and lava, aud a
river of red hot lava, five or six miles long,
flowed to the sea at the rate of teu miles per
hour, destroying everything before it, and
forming an island in the sea. A new crater,
two miles wide, opened and throws rocks and
streams of-fire a thousand feet high. Streams
of lava rolled to the sea. At one time the
illumination extended fifty miles at night. The
lava has pressed ont from the shore a mile. At
Waischina, three miles from the shore, a coni
cal island rose suddenly, emitting a column of
steam and smoke while the Kouo packet was
passing, spattering mud on the vessel. The
greatest shock occurred April 2d.
Prior to the eruption there was a great
shower of ashes and pumice. During the great
shock the swinging motion of the earth was
dreadful, bo that no person could stand. In
the midst of this tremendous shock an erup
tion of red larth poured down the mountain,
rushing across the plain three miles in three
minutes, and then ceased. Then came the
great tidal wave, and then the streams of lava.
The villages on the shore were all destroyed by
this wave. Tbe earth opened under the sea
and reddened the water. The earth eruption
swallowed thirty persons and the sea many
more. Great suffering and terror prevailed in
the district, and the whole region was affected.
The sloop Live Yankee has been dispatched
with provisions, Ac., to rescue and relieve.
The Honolulu correspondent of the Bulletin
gives the details of the volcanic disturbances,
showing that the earthquake shocks extended
to all the islands of the Hawaiian group; but
no damage is known to have occurred except
around Mauna Loa.
Numerous extensive landslips accompanied
the other phenomena, destroying life and pro
perty. The summit and sides of a hill, fifteen
Hundred feet in height, were thrown a thousand
feet over the tops of trees, and landed in the
valley below. The gases that issued afterward
destroyed both vegetable and pnimal life.
Bottomless fissures opened in the mountain’s
side. A lava stream flows under the ground,
breaking out in four jet9 six miles from the
sea, and throwing lava and stones one thousand
and fifteen hundred feet high.
The new islaud thrown up is four hundred
feet highland is now joined to the main land
by a stream of lava a mile wide.
A large stream of water lias burst from the
mountain where the -earth eruption occurred.
The base of the volcano is about thirty miles
in circumference, and is desolated. At least
half a million dollars’ worth of property is
destroyed.
The King of the Sandwich Islands had is
sued a proclamation for the relief of the suffer
ers. Many visitors had gone from Honolulu,
and will go from San Francisco.
The worst is thought to be over, but the lava
flow continues. It is a grand spectacle.
A Fertilizer from the South—Wealth
from the Palmetto State.
Yesterday, two vessels arrived at Phillips’
chemical works in Camden, laden with phos
phates brought from the banks of the Ash
ley River, near Charleston, South Carolina.
The news of these novel arrivals soon spread
throughout Camden, and tbe phosphate ships
were beseiged by a crowd eager to see what
South Carolina had to send to New Jersey.
Yisi ors were pi r cittetl to examine the
cargoes, and a number of sharks’ teeth
and petrified vertebrae of marine monster
were fouud in the pbolphates. These cu
riosities were highly prized by their lucky
finders. But there is hidden in this South
Carolina phosphate something far more val
uable than the remains of the finny inhabi
tants of the great deep. A caretnl and thor
ough analysis by competent chemists have
revealed tho important fact that this phos
phate contains properties superior to those
of all similar agents known, and fully equal
to the best guano. This important discovery
ii verified beyond peradventure, and arrange
ments have been made to bring full sap-
plies of the phosphate wherever it may be
needed. A revolution in agriculture is at
hand. The phosphate fields of the Ashley
river are very extensive, indeed, almost in
exhaustible. They are in the hands of a
number of prominent Puiladelpbians, who
have invested largely and judiciously in good
and appropriate machinery, manufactured in
this State for the purpose to which it 19 now
applied. With the aid of these appliances,
Irom three to five hundred tons of tbe phos
phate can be excavated each day. The vast
beds of this material are contiguous to navi
gable Water, aud the precious earth can be
readily and economically shipped.
There is but one other deposit of phosphate
similar to this of the Ashley River known to
exist in the world, and thi9 is in the north of
Eagland, where it is found in what is techni
cally known to miners as a “pocket.” This
important discovery and its practical devel
opment will work untold good to the South,
as well as benefit to the agricultural interest
of the North, E ist and West. The sunny
South is nearer to this restorer of weakened
arable lands, and her wide bat fallow fields
can easily be made to blossom as tbe rose,
by means of tbe phosphate, found in such
abundance near the city of Charleston.—

A Woman Takbs Poison in Presence of
her Family, and^Kegbets the Act when it
is too Late.—The wife of Andrew Bunting,
formerly of Youngstown Ohio, committed
suicide on the 30th, at Wellsville, Ohio, by
taking arsenic in the presence of her hus
band and children, because the husband de
clined tb purchase additional household fur
niture, claiming that the house was furnished
with good3 fine enough to suit any woman. Be
tween 7 and 8 o’clock on Thursday morning,
while the family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
Bunting and two children, one eight the
other twelve years of age, were at breakfast,
Mrs. B.| renewed a request previously made
that additional furniture, carpet?, Ac., be
placed in the h .us . The but bind declined
to accede to her request, whereupon she
arose from the table in a passion, proceeded
to a tideboara, picked up a cup of arsenic,
* and threatened to take
id not come to terms.
Her children cried, the husband sprang from
his seat to prevent the woman carrying out
her wicked design—too late to save her- In
spite of bis effort*, shemanaged to gurgle down
a sufficient quantity toproduce death, which
however, did not take place nutil between 8
and 9 o'clock in the evening, twelve hours
after the poison had been taken. Doctor
Hammond, tbe family physician, was called
in, and Doctor McKinzie, a neighboring
physician, was also in the room soon after
the oeijorance. The proper medicine was
prescribed and hastily procured, but tbe wo
man refused to take the antidote, until her
pbysicihn said it was too late to save life.
Then she regretted having taken the fatal
stuff, aud expressed a willingness to take any
antidote the physician might offer. She was
about 35 years of age. Her husband owned,
in addition to being the proprietor of the fin
eet and most handsomely furnished house in
Wpllsvilie. a boat on l tbe river, and was other-
*good circumstances. He, so far as
irhood gossip goes, both among males
