A Compromise Prdposori. Wo leura, by tal? Advices from Washington*, that senator Stewart of Nevada has oifered a project for proposing to tho eleven acceded states a general amnesty on the condition of a qualified ' black B tiff rage. This has been the subject of cari- ! ?CUB debates before, and it is more llian prob'ahi'c that it is not olr?red now without previous under standing and consultation T??th prominent politi cians both north nnd south. It is thought some few southern men of influence and position would1 favor the proposition, merely as a matter of com promise, and to settle existing difficulties in trie \vtty of restoring to political relations of the coun try' But as a general proposition, and, in -view of tia partial influence upon the different sections of tbc ?nion, it would not be accepted even upon the grounds of mutual concession and compro mise. A very respectable, but, at the same timo, a very arri?ll minority may be found in thc south who would favor, or at .least, would not oppose negro suffrage - with -efiucntional or property qnrrfiflcutioni. .But the gTcat-tnues of the people aro so very sensitive ?? the -subject of negro equality, that they would rievcr willingly con sent to cast their vo'le ?ide by side with a black man, if he wns aa rich aa Croesus anil as wise as Solomon.
