The negroes of this country have received a great deal of good advice from white men and men of their own race, and none better than that given by men of their own race. There was recently held a meeting in one of the colored churches in Washington where addresses were made by several prominent colored men, among them Henry P. Cheat ham, formerly of this State and at one time Principal of the Normal School iu this town, now Recorder of Deeds for the District of Colum bia, all f whom gave the negroes excellent advice, substantially on the line of the following, issued by a meeting of prominent negroes held in New Orleans about the same time, and sent out in an address to the negroes of that city and State : MOo to work for a living. "Quit loafing around the corners. "Stop looking upon a policeman as a common enemy. "if an officer attempts to make an arrest, do not resist or in any way inteftre with him. "Respect the law. and the officer of the law, and quit ohieldiug negroes who are guilty of criminal offences. 'Help the authorities to sustain and en force the laws ot the city and aid in the detection of crime and the punishment ot criminals. "Fight the dives and dens and begin the fight for the negroe's moral elevation around the negroe's own hearth stone." If they had written a book of many pages they could not have embraced more in it or talked more, good hard sense umu uiey - uiu in uicac icn pithy "paragraphs, which every ne gro of the class for whom they were intended should paste in his or her hat or commit to memory. If fol lowed they would go a long way in the direction of solving the race problem, which is largely in the hands of the negroes themselves. It is quite evident from the in structions sent to Gen. Mac Arthur, and from the Washington dispatches, that this Government has no idea of treating Aguinaldo otherwise than leniently, and that it will use him as far as practicable in hastening the establishment of peace throughout the islands. This is the sensible course to pursue and the one that is in accord with the sentiment of the large majority of the American peo ple, who are anxious to see an end put to that miserable war, an end not only iu name, but in fact. Whatever of interest there might have been attached to Aguinaldo as a representative of insistence to the United States ceased the moment he took the oath of allegiance to this Government, for he thus identified himself by his own act with this country and voluntarily put himself in antagonism to the men whom he had led, aud who followed him until he renounced the cause for which and they were contending. He is now to all Intents and purposes, as . far as his own declaration can make him, an American, and powerless to do the United States any harm even if turned loose and permitted to go wherever he might choose. As an insiter to further resistence he would be completely powerless, but as a pacificator he may still have influence, and in that might be made useful and bis services be valuable. There is little doubt from the clinching nature of the oath he took and the short time it took him to make up his mind to take it, that he will do in good faith all that is expected or required of him, and possibly prove more potent in per suading his remaining followers to lay down their arms than he was in persuading them to take up arms. .WilmmUhi Star. WAR ON ILLITERACY'. It it wonderful bo the movement to bar illiterate from the ballot box is growing. Within the last Ave years Louisiana, Mississippi and both the Caroliuas have embodied Its principle in their organic laws. The Maryland Legislature has ord ered the submission of an auaeudment on the same line, but it differ in oue import ant essential from the amendments which the other States named have adopted. While they have disfranchised illiterate blacks they leave the way open for illiter ate whites to vote by the provision that their amendment Bliall not apply to persons or their descendants who were qualified to vote on Jannary 1, 1807. ' The proposed Maryland amendment makes no distinction between the whites and blacks. It is estimated that the amend ment would disfranchise 18,000 white men and 35,0o0 negrous. The indications are that both Alabama and Tetineseo will soon establish a literate qualification for the suffrage. Virginia may also do so at her forthcoming consti tutional convention. At a recent caucus of the Democratic members of the Tennesse Legislature a j resolution iu favor of a call for a constitu tional convention was adopted by a large majority. The convention will certainly be called, and it is likely that it will embody in its constitution the Louisiana plaa of negro disfranchisement. The demand for similar restriction is very strong in both Alabama aud Virginia. We believe that this movement will finally extend to all the States and include both white and negro illiterates. In the opinion of many of our people Connecticut has the beet francLise law in the country. It not only requires that every voter shall be able to read aud write, but he 6hall be able to do so iu the Eng lish language. Atlanta Journal.

Dispatch says : ' An old Confederate soldier asks the Dispatch why the difference in the treat- mcut of Aguidaldo and Jefferson Davis ? When the President of the Southern Con federacy was captured he was placed in irons, thrust into a dungeon, and subjected to other indignities. Aguinaldo receives the best treatment there is in the shop. Jefferson Davis was an old mau ; Aguinaldo is a young man. The question is certainly a very timely oue. Times have changed.' Possibly the present commanding-gen eral of the army might auswer the Con federate soldier's question. He, we believe, ordered the shackling of Mr. Davis.
