Special Items Gov. Hahn from Louisiana, represents that the reconstructed rebtgs in that State are acting very badly. In one parish, they met ir?onven tion and re-established slavery by for?l enact ment and resolutions. Sm Last week, one of the civil cour* >^?enced a negro to be whipped under the old 7s -ginia code. General Augur promptly annulled the sentence. A colored man in Cincinnati has recovered a verdict of $300 against a street railway company for the act of a conductor in unlawfully putting him out of a car. The 107th Kentucky Colored Regiment, now guarding the fortifications about Washington, were paid off last week. Up to this date $6,000 has been deposited in the National Freedmen's Savings Bank, by the men of seven companies. A cargo of Africans' was recently landed in Cuba, on the northwestern part of the island the number of victims being variously stated at from one hundred to eight Hundred. The au. thorities were blind to the transaction. Su'cli events have been unfrequent lately. The majority of the House Committee of the Tennessee Legislature have reported against the Negro Testimony bill. They assign two rea sons: 1- The majoritv of the people ure opposed to it. 2. Legislation in favor of negro testimony at this time is premature. Wc think they had better have tried it before passing judgement. It is estimated that of the 22,443,897 acres of land under cultivation in Alabama. Georgia, - Florida, South Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, ten millions are sub ject to purchase on easy terms, or to lease, with the right to purchase at from $5 to $20 per acre; the rent from $2 to $? per acre. An officer connected with the educational der partment of the Freedmen's Bureau has just returned from a tour through North Carolina. Ile represents that there i*d>ut little money in the Srate, labor scarce, and all but a few of the inhabitants are opposed to the educational ad vancement of the freedmen. Provisional Governor Parsons has recom mended to the Legislature of Alabama the pas sage of an act securing the colored people of the State the same amount of protection that non-voting whi'.es now enjoy. A colored man was the highest bider at the auction sjde of two fine estates in Staunton, Va. Some Louisiana papers give favorable reports in regard to cotton planting and 'die condition <if the freedmen'. A company is in process of organization at New-Orleans for the purpose of raising cotton by advancing planters adequate means to culti vate their lands. 1 he necessary money is to be advanced at the rate 'Of seven per cent, secured by mortgage. Profits are to be equiiiy divid ed. The company will furnish the agricultural implements required. All the colored troops at Wilmington are TO be removed to ports on the coast. A detach ment of the 28th Michigan regiment remains as the garrison of the town. Large quantities of Governmem lands are being taken up and settled upon by soldiers discharged from disbanded colored regiments. Tte Rev. J. Sella Martin (colored) gave the results of his mission to England to obtain aid for the suffering freedmen of the South, at the Shiloh Presbyterian Church last evening. Ile had succeeded in collecting about $60.000, but thought that the freedmen must rtlv chiefly on the contributions of the North for relief. There is a genuine " war of races at New Orleans, between the Creole aud American eiti ns, all about the teaching of French in the public schools. The American clement has con trol tn the city and is determined that French shrill not be taught, and that the next genera tor, of Creoles shall be thoroughly American ized. Tribute of Bospeet. At a regular monthly meeting of Niagara Fire Engine Company, No. 8, held on Thursday eve ning, Dec. 7th, 18S5, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : lt F.as pleased Almighty God to visit upon us a heavy afihetion, the gloomy badges of mourn ing, that we but a few months ago had cast aside now becomes our painful duty to wear once "'tore.

B: SP?NCKK, D.G.W.S.. , H. BOLDEN PlCKINr.?CK, D.t?.vf.R.S. Dec 9 lw 10 lion. Chas. Sumner lias prepared an article for thc Atlantic Monthly, entitled '.Clemency .ind Common sense"' The following propositions are laid down as a proper method fdr reorganizing the rebel States. I. As a general rule belligerent traitors, who have battled agaii'.lt the country, must not be permitted at once without probation or trial to resume their old places of trust and power. Such a concession would be clearly against every suggestion of t omni on sense, and President Johnson clearly saw it so, when, addressing his fellow-citizens of Tennessee, ??tlj June, 1804. he said :'I say that traitors should.take a hack seat in tiie work of restoration. If there be hut five thousand men in Tennessee loyal to the Constitution, loyal to freedom, loyal to justice, these true and faithful men should control the work ot reorganization and reformation absolute ly." * 2. Especially ar 1 we bound, by every obliga tion of justice and by every sentiment of honor] to see to it that belligerent traitors, who have battled against their country, are not allowed to ! rule the constant loyalists, whether white ot I black, embracing thc recent freedmen, who have I been our friends and allies. 3. Let belligerent traitors bc received slowly and "autiously back into the sovereignty of citi zenship. It is better that they should wait than that the general security be imperilled, or our solemn obligations, whether to the national freed man or the national creditor, be impaired. 4 Let pardons issue only on satisfactory as surance that the applicant, who has been engag ed for four years in murdering our fellow-citi zens, shall sustain the equal rights, civil and po litical, of all men, according to the principles o? the Declaration of Independence; that he shall I pledge hiniself to 'he support of the nation's debt: ! and Vf Wc be among the large ho ders ot land, that he shall set apart homesteads for all his freed men. Following these simple rules, clemency will bc \ ft ''Christian virtue, and not a perilous folly " The Suffrage. The suffrage question has many aspects. It is both denied and asserted with equal vehem ence that political rights are natural rights; but every American at least must be very wary how he commits himself to the negative of the proposition. If governments justly exist by the consent of the governed, it is ra'hcr difficult to show that there is no higher claim to a share in p'oljticai-.power than the consent of those who already enjoy it. That it may be withheld is very possible. That it can justly be withheld is not evident. . But in tire discussion of impartial suffrage in the late reSe? States we may descend from the I heights of abstract right," anti regard the point as purely one of expediency. ,It,i$ asked, and fairly enough,whether in the condition of public opinion in the loyal States, as shown in the Connecticut refusal of impartial suffrage;'in the defeat of the same proposition in Wisconsin by a majority of ten thousand in the popular vote, while the Union ticket was elected by eight thousand ;'and in the disabling suffrage laws of many of the other States, is :. advisable to insist upon impartial suffrage in the States which are to be reorganized;' We say this question is fair and natural enough, but the subject must be regarded from the point of view of the na tional welfare. Thus in a State ?ike Connecticut,' wbich is j indisputably faithful to the Government, it is j hot directly essential to the national safety that the two thousand colon-d men should be allow ed to* vote. It is a pitiful disgrace to the State ; bert ft is not essential to the nation, because the non-voters are so few, and because the political power remains steadily in patriotic hands. So also in Wisconsin a*nd other Western States. But in Georgia or Mississippi the considerations are very different. In those States the question of impartial suffrage involves cftrectly the na tional welfare. The point of inquiry is, wheth er if political power be intrusted exclusively to the late rebels with their present disposition, the State will maintain that intimate and hear ty relation with the.National Government which 'is indispensable, and whether .the dangers of impartial suffrage there are not very much.more than balanced by thpsa^f partial sur?rage ?, . ,. It is not a question for passion qr rhetoric, but for the calmest and most thorough deliber ation.-Harper's Weekly.
