Below we give a «lip received from
the office of the Sumpter Republican, in

nouncing that the Senate had stricken
out the main body of the tjeorgia bill,
including the Bingham Amendment,
and simply remanded the State back
under military rul*
It is provided also that general elec

which thus curtails the career of our

this time in tho choice of their ruler*.
Though entering a solemn profeet
against anj congressional interference
with a Bovoroign State, yet we are free
to confess that of the two a'ternatives,
the dominion of the sword is infinitely
preferable to that of the contemptible
radical ring who for many month* have
lorded it over the old Commonwealth of
Georgia. And now be it the patriotic
aim and object of all to disabuse our
colored liieijds of their prejudices, and
impart to them the wb<4«.sa ne lesson,
that henceforth our political amt mate

The New Vote”.
How is the colored vote'to be distri
buted ? With what party, or ia what
interest will it probably be c.ast, when
the h y-dey of jnl»il ;l ti,m is ov r, when
men return once more to their sober
sense* and universal suffiage becomes
policy of the country ?»-
I hese are questions seldom asked, be
cause they ate supposerlto admit of but
•me answer, and are-scarcely worth the
trouble to auk The common under
standing is that the negroes, as a body,
will adhere to the Ha ical party, but
even a common understanding rn.iy not
always provw the corr<*ct one.
The argument addressed to the sertsf
hilities of the « >!ored race, that the\
cannot do otherwise than sustain the
pa ty. which brought about their free
dnm and enfrgnubi-ement, oppose the
ptirty which reluctantly assented to
these m**usures. is a powerful as well as
a specious argument, and consequently,
if tlie Radical leaders are able to con
trol this vote pretty much to their own
liking, for some time yet, it will be qi.
Hia't-r of Barpri»e.
With an advanced intelligence, how
ever, and better information, the negro
will sooner or later ascertain that the
elective franchise gives him but a sham
advantage and is only a degrading priv
ilege, unless its exercise is b ised upon
the entire free will of the voter, mid
that it may not always be safe, as it is
in no sense wise, to bold tins great pro*
n gative ut tlie die! at ion of another.
The la e colored convention at Chica
go showed a creditable appreciation of
ttiis thing when it congratulated the
jatople ‘th it the v-*xed q test ion ih‘ c 4-*r
*as taken out of the political offtlw cotm
try, mid could n . longer be made the
iii->trnittMiit of demagogues.’ Nit only
iu Chicago, lag else w Imre, are tlie
black* getting their eyes open to ttie
fact that iustead of being freemen in
the true sense of tlie term, they are like
ly to become Ini' the instruments of the
demagogues who made thorn voters to
secure their vot< s.
The colored man is hound to fiad out
at last, that the war between tlie North
and the S mth, iu which his freedom
was tho apparent bone of contention,
was, after all, but a struggle for jiolitt
cal domination, ami that he figured in
it simply as a means to an end, and not
the end its* If The record of the suc
cessful party since the war, will con
vince him that orrty so far as he could
be made useful in perpetuating the sue
cess ot tiiat party had it an interest in
his einuucipation; and that his g-tmioe
abolition friends in this long agitation
were men who stood wholly aloof from
the field of battle and of politi.-s. He
will find, moreover, as soon as tne ques
tion of reconstruction is settle*! and the
enslaved white men of the country are
restored to their rights, that however
antagonistic th'- Oeniorratic party has
been to the doctrines ■ f tmlitie.al ' quali
ty, it will tie the first to recognize- his
practical rights under the n-w system
and that especially in the Southern
Slates ho will tie tr ated by it with a
far more generous o< mpieh mine, of his
wants than ho can -ever expect to be by
Ills so-called liberators.
He tvill learn that hi* obligations to
hi* ltiiu htal friends are not such that h«*
need bind ip:for all ii tie to come
to th.-ir dictation : even if im does it .t,
as In-justly tn iy, coi.u ludo *b it thedeh

state that the document had been all

dotted for the rea-o is already stated. I
am informed that ttie President’s mes

meat, urging Congress to leuiove by
