P O L I ri I OA L ; Suffrage for the Blacks.* Under this caption, thc " New York Times1' of the 16th, has the following remarkable ar ticle, which argues that thc Stall's themselves should regulate thc question bf su fl ru ge ; and, moreover shows the. inconsistency of the Democratic party on the question : W.-ide Hampton adheres to the opinion he. expressed some time since, that negroes m the Southern States should be recognized as citizens, and admitted to the suffrage. He believes that such a course would contribute , largely to the peace and prosperity of thc ! 1 whole community. He thinks, however, that 1 ' <this should be done by the State and not by jCkwigress, and that suffrage for both whiles '?nd black** should bo made to depend upon .jcharaetor um) intelligence. Wc do not doubt thar, the thinking men of the South generally concur in (bis opinion.* .There is much lot-.s of mere pr?judice against thc nejrro in the South than anion?; certain classes in the North, b'voji before I be aboli tion vof?l a very", negroes were sm? or netter personal treatment from Southern people than from Northern. The South very naturally objects lo universal suffrage, because they know very well that thc great body of the negroes are utterly unqualified for it-that thev know nothing whatever of the questions whioh their vote.? may determine, and that they will inevitably become tools in the hands of demagogues. Hut there eau be very little doubt that if Mr. Lincoln had lived, or if the policy of reconstruction which be devised ?nd favored had been carried out, negroes would have been allowed to vote in nearly if not quite all the Southern Stales, just as fast as they might have become qualified so to do. Ile himself recommended it, as did also Mr Johnson when he. succeeded to the office ; and the general sentiment of the intelligent political leaders of the South was decidedly ia favor of it. The. shallow pretence that this is thc " white mail's government,1' and that none hut white men should (iver have any share in making tim laws and c.boosiiur the rulers which arc all required to obey, died with slavery among ?ill sensible and reflecting men, South, as well as North : and it bas been reserved for the Democratic Bourbons (d' the present day to revive if and make it tin; basis of their political creed. lt ought to be remembered, moreover. Mult I thc adoption of ir-ivers I ncgio suffrage, both in the District of Columbia mid throughout I the South, is dm- directly to the Democratic representatives in tho hist Congress. A large majority of thc Republican poly decided iii caucus against it : and when it was prop? sen in Congress jo establish intelligence usa qual ification for negro suffrage in the District of Columbia, the Democrats voled with the ex treme radicals against it, and thus secured its defeat. Universal negro suffrage, with a disfran chisement of thc great, body of the whites, forced upon tho Southern States by military power, and leading in nearly all hose States to tho absoluto supremacy of the negroes in tho Government, must of necessity bo odious and intolerable, to the white inhabitants. Even if forced to consent to it, such a ?tep must implant in their minds the most bitter resentment toward those by whom thc blow has been inflicted. Ils direct tendency, more over, is to array tho blacks ??nd whites against oaoh other-to make each feel that the other is his enemy, and thus to sow tho seeds of fu turo collisions and hatreds between the two races. If thc work had been done by thc peoplo of those States themselves, tho result would have boen different. That it must have been dono sooner or later is certain. Thc negroes in all Southern States are so nu m?rous, tho capital and industry of tho South I are so depondont upon them, that their ad mission to the suffrago would very soon be come absolutely indispensable to the safety of Southern society ; and tho Southern whites .would have consulted their own interests quite as much aq those of tho blacks, by bringing them in na rapidly ns possible to tho exercise, ?y* ?. ?itf^Uticnl tower.

KKMAHKADLK DUSCOVKIIY.-We were yes terday invited, with a number of others, to view an interesting collection of fossils ?iud relics of a former agu, discovered in the pott nfehceue beds of St. Andrew's Parish, ten miles from this eily. The first of these spec imens were exhumed from their rocky tomb ns long ago as the year 1844, by Professor Holmes, of tho College of Charleston, who was then assisting Professor Toomey, the late ecological Surveyor of South Carolina. At that time these specimens were supposed to bc accidental occupants of that stratum*, but since then Professor Holmes has discovered quito a number of others, and is lier* fully satisfied that many more of the same kind will yet. bo found. They correspond in a marked degree with tim descriptions of similar ones lately discovered in tlie Som rh ?

Magatheriuin, Mylodon and Taper ; also of tho uatlvo American deer, raccoon, opossum, beaver and elk, besides those of the horse, cow, sheep, dog and hog, and most marvelous to relate, stone hatchets, arrow and spear heads, and fragments of pot tery, all ovidently the workmanship of man.
