I1? Views on Female Suffrage, Reconstruc

Tho special co-respondent of vtho Now

tinder date of June, 1$ : i .
.Siooe?omo historical tuvr^ortaiiooMs likely
'.tc/bo attached to the snooob, and inasmuch ns
. the _ telegraph, bungled - tho brief/ report I
*ent through thut channel, it may bo. worth'
whilo for mo to -givo your readcrs^M'- full
a sketofi as possible from the notes I took at
tho timo, and which 1 fortunately preserved.
. After tho applansO;with which ho was wo!
coined had subsided, tao Senator remarked
that ho had uo intention of making a speech.
Ile had tried to do so at Omaha, andas hothon
broke down in tho midst of his remarks, ho
did not feel oncouragod to repeat tho attempt
on tho prosent occasion. Still, there wore
^BQgno thoughts which always suggested them
selves in Kansas. Thcro tho great buttle be
tween freedom and slavery hud boen fought
out, and tho oause of liberty had triumphed.
. If tho slave power had succeed there in its
^ . infamous efforts, it would have gonoonto na
tionalizo tho accursed institution, but it was
-.defeated, and now thcro was not a remnant of
it left in tho land. [Applause]
. ' 'Mr, Wade,then said that as hovhad,kept in
. nd vance of tho poppte in the great 'strife bo
tvr.coh freedom aud slavery, ho meant to du thc
samo thing iii' thc contest willoh had just com
menced for extending tho right of suffrago to
women. . lie was -unqualifiedly in favor of
equal rights for nil, not only without regard
to nationality pud color, but without regard
to sex. Wonicu wore moro virtuous thaw
mon j their perceptions were quicker and .kecn
. or} and When they gained political power they
would rectify many abuses which luid thus far
'ireipainod Untouched. If ho ?iodipoj behoved
.thj-t his own wife-hud sonso on^uglKto voto
. ho novor would havo married, her [laughter
nnd applause,] and if any of his hearers had
wives, who wore unequal to tho discharge of
tho right Of suffrago, bo would adviso thom-to
go homo anti get divorced nt once. [Renewed
laughter.] Tho'speaker denounced th?s'o wo
mon who 'did not want to voto because it was
not fashionable, and said that ho'had a prc
'diotfon td pinko- female s?firago will bo Ch
oral in lesa.thau twontv ye?rs fu vo?tl?^'that's
taO'fsr of?"*J,.ond h? thought it Uk?ly that in
TT^Hteeateas ih?r JA?^?\^)t?:]^^'M^t\t? watter
' Btr?lght. [Applause.] Ilo repented that he
'-intendedto keepin advance of tho people on
this"subj?ot,' and that ho was now ready' to
" * take another jump forward, if necessary. To
bis view radicalism upon this and nil otlu.r
questions was righteousness,,.whilo conserva
tism- was hypocrisy and cowardice. Tho con
. sorvative was a mere lick-spit t le and hanger-on ;
ho was not only willing to bc trampled in tho
dustj but wns willing tb remain there.
? As regarded thc political situation, lie would
say-that the -Southerners now had the
P^- mi?dost terms offorcd them they over would
. '' ig^t. If they otioso tp accept them, well lind
- good }/?thoy-.mi?ftLhavo all the advantage of
such action ; '.ifi?jfflLrofuscd tljem another tum
would bo givonUitlje screw, 'and they would
bo compelled ii?, yield',whether tiny wished
?tooroot. Congress diad thus fur boen, with
^^^HHfe?ple, andit would ?Qt now desortHhem
. "itndor.tlio lead of Johnson or the dovil. His
; hearers niighfrost assured of "one thillg, that
^construction was ns certain to take place ns
*.~" inat,th;e ?un was Shining.
, Se o a tor Wade th c u proceeded to say that
tboro was another, question upon which he
'would express his views although his henrcrs
. might differ from his opinions. Wo had dis
fioscd of the question of slavory, and now
lint of labor and capital must pass through
the ordeal. Tho .shadow of tho approaching
struggle bctwoen these two groat interests was
'already:up?n us, and it would do nq good to
turo Our backs upon the'question.' It must
bo mot. Propocty was not equally divided,
and a-moro equal'distribution of capital must
be wrought out. That Ooogross> which hud
done so much fo-r the slave, cannot quietly
regard tfio terrible distinction which exists
between tho man that labors and him that
does hot. [Applause.] " If you dull-bonds,"
. said tho speaker, " can't seo this, tho w?m?n
will,"and will net' accordingly." It -will not
bb long before tho laborers will .dejimtfd* of
'canvoscrs, upon tho ovo of an action, " What
. ' will you do ipr us ?" and they wH?hirvett. sat
. ' isfaotory answor. It is not right or just that
any man should bo conipo}led to labor until
- "'life is worn out and being is a curoe. The
Almighty- did not intend that this should be
tho caso, nor will it always remain so. Moro
> leisure must bo given to pooplb for (ficntal ao
fr:?onrnH?b'n^ent8, and labor-saving innchincs
had'bot yet fulfilled their mission; sinco they
had failed to effect ,this .result. Herein Kan
'aas^nffiPIn'Q spenucr, where ovcry mon Ja a cap
italist to a^rcAtcr or less extent, these ine
qualitlo? aro not so great, and ere not so keen
ly felt os they^ro in tho Mast, and the speak
. 'er would advise every men in that section, whe
i issubject to a capitalist in nny degree, to cut
loosofr?tn him and.gct two hours nearer sun
. down forthwith. "Men of Kansas," liosaid,
'ff ijf you do as much for yourselves as thc Al
>, mighty has done for you, you wi'l be tho.lords
of creanon." Mr. Wade pledged himsolf to
advocate the " natural rights of mau" boldly
**iSnil persistently ;'spoke of. the groa* oom mer-'
oi?l results which would inevitably flow from
tjio completion pf tho Puoifio rnilwoy, and
. thon referred to the striking fact that tho .ex
. -cursion party hod, during tho two weeks of
its tourneying, accomplish by rail a disto noe
whtoh vould have taken a year io traverse by
fh?*dl? modes of conveyance. Ho concluded
. by thanking tho people of Lowrqn?ct for tho
COVdtoJ welcome nnd kindly courtesies they
, had extended to tho party ho represented".
Mr. Wade's spoeoh occupied about half an

$r drjft. ." It is to be regretto? tlint a stenograph
ic ronort could not liov,e been made of it, for

a purpose to reconstruct'their trosscl, recently
removed" by the South Carolina Railroad, be
cause of its infringement upon their rights of
property.
Wo regard such procoedings ns grcntly to
bc deprecated. Roth parties aro now in tho'
Courts for an adjudication of matters nt issue
between them. In or near Columbia, ns wo
have lately ?con, tho Columbia und Augusta
Company have undoubtedly trespassed upon
I thc rights and privileges of the South Cn roi i -
I na Railroad, under cover of aid from tho cit)
i Council of Columbia, and now in olhcr'parts
of tho State wo lind thom manifesting a dis
position to do the same thing,
j If there arc doubts as to thc rights of "thc
South'Carolina Rail road .Company to object
j to the-construction of a road, at all. fruin Co
! lu in bia to Augusta,'there are, we understand
from high authority, none whatever as to theil
rfght to object to a road by, or near, Granite
j ville to Augusta.
I With reference to the work more purlieu
I larly referred to hero, there appears lo be no
I oven tile pretence of law for its construction
I a?> we are informed that thc statements of tin
officials of tho. Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, (when ibo motion to enjoin their pro
ccedings was argued in Columbia several week;
ago.) were that this part of their work did Ito
correctly represen t. their proposed line of font
to Augusta ; that their proper lino w;is north
wa rd ly, and at a considerable distance fron
the. lino assumed as theirs j and that said line
so assumed, was only an offshoot from tl??
main linc for tho purpose bf .connecting'witl
the South Carolina .Railroad at Grnnitcvillc
tt thus appears, wo repeat, that there is no
even tho pretence of law for thc work in quos
tion. If tho Columbia and Ail^usttt llailroai
can branch oil' to Craiuloviire. it cnn br.inci
i off anywhere, and thus accomplish iiuIT.'cct.i;
what they cahoot do directly. Rut what w
chiefly object to is, this reckless invasion o
private right j _ this-disjvvdtinn inn the part o
the Augusta and 'Columbia Railroad Coolpa
ny to force their way not only where they ma
have rights, ' brr.fr" where, they cannot bav
rights. And v?C earnest! v-and-scriously der

feeling, and may load to a collision that ma

Mr DHAU Sin :-I fis probable, in viow'i
existing circumstances, that Congress will coi
veno in July., lt is proper, tjhoreforc, I shoul
t)i for iii 3'ou that tho appropriation of $5,000
OOO to executo the Reconstruction Acts
altogether, inadequate. ? nm informed th?
my estimates for April and,M ay aro less tba
those of other District. Commanders.. lndcoi
the whole sum was more than absorbed by t l
estimates for May. For thu Carolinas at lea
8500,1)00 will bo required.
1 have applied to the Navy and Treasut
Departments for certain facilities, which, ?
view of the small appropriation, 1 presume
would be granted, but my requests have n
been favorably considered. I uudersfTind tb
tho Secretary of thc Navy assigned fis li
ret.sou that no iiidniivst be expected fro n'th
department in thc execution or the Reen
strutton Acts of Congress. The S?cr?ta
ot the TioMgdry expressed his desire to do i
? he could, but ?\<\ not fool ut liberty lo make at
.disbursements for objects not precisely wit
in thc jurisdiction of lija department. It
usual, I believe, when the appropriation f
an object authorised by Congress is insu!
oient to make, tho necessary expenditures ni
trust to a " Deficiency Rill," but in thc e
condon of those Acts this course will bc ii
practicable, inasmuch as the principal d
hurscincnts nrc for thc services of person's w
depend upon their pay for support. 1 ho
thc honor to suggest for your, considera tic
and of your colleagues as well, that the inti
oats pf thc publie, service require, without t
lay, a further appropriation to executo t
Acts of Congress. for tho government of t
rcbclStatcs.

"TIIE ?KURO.-Du Ofiail?u, says tha"'?Tew
Yolk Kxpress," in his lccturo upon tlio Afri
can, 'tn conclusion, gavn tho following ns his
best judgment of tho ohnraoterof tho negro':
Whntevormn'y ho our sympathy, primitivo
mai, or rather tho least gifted tribes of man
kind, must disappear before the higher intel
lect. This is nota theory, buta fact. There*
oro many causes to pcopunt for tho .decroaso'
of tho negro \t think everything tonds to*
show that Um negro is of great antiquity, and
has remained stationary. Tho working of
iron, considering thc primitivo way they work
it nnd how. easily tho^ find it, musthnvo boen
known to them from tho remotest time, and .
to thom tho agc of stono nnd bronze must
have been unknown. As to his future enpn
I bilities,'! think oxtremo view? hnvo prevailed
' among us. Some hold thc opinion that tho
negro will never riso higher than ho is; eth
ers think" that he is capable of reaching the
1 iahest s tn tb of civilization, in fact that ho
will become a white man. For my own pat t,
', T do not agree with cither of these opinions.
1 believe the negro may become a more useful
I member of mankind than lie is at presonk;
that be ean be raised toft higher standard,
but ?hat, if left to himself, he wjll soon fall
back into barbarism ; wo hiiv? no example to
thc contrary. .Though a people m<\y bo
taught the arts and sciences known by moro
gifted nations, unless they hnvo thc power of
progression io themselves, they must inevita
bly relapse, in tho collive of time, into their
former state. Of all thc uncivilized rnces of
man, the negro has been found tho most do
cile, and he possesses excellent qualities that
compensate a great deal for his had ones.
We ought) therefore, to be kind to him. and
try ta elevate bini That ho will in tho cottrso
of tin?<-, follow the lower races of mon and
disappear, 1 have but little doubt.
