Tbk speech of the Hon. Tnaddeus Stevens, at
Lancaster, Pa., on the 6tb, was devoted to a de
fence of the policy of "reconstruction" as against
that of "restoration."' According to that .dis
tinguished, leader, the only safety lieain. Goverp
ment treating the seceded States as conquered
and alien, and in discarding the theory that they
ha?e never been outaide the Union. They were
combated during the war as foreign 'belligerents
would have been they themselves invited the
. a i M tliAAA fAvmo wa im 1iKai. fr-rt avail
ourselves of the privileges of victors. On no
other principle of procedure can trial and pun
ishment of traitors be had, since they , would
then be presented before, civil' courts in the
States which, were the scene of their treason.
Not otherwisecan the trial of Wirz before mili
tary commission be justified. Not otherwise
even the action cf the President is imposing con
ditions upon the conventions which are to' re
model the State governments ; for this is recon
struction, not restoration, which must be full
and impartial. This position fortified,-Mr.
Stevens advances to another : "The property of
the rebels shall pay our national debt, and in
demnify frcedmen and loyal sufferers." To ef-
. feet this he would confiscate- the real estate of
70,000 rebels, who own above 200 acres each,
together with the lands of their several States.
Realizing thus, from a small fraction of the popu
lation, 394,000,000 acres out of the aggregate
of 465,000,000, he would divide this territory
into convenient farms, giving (say) 40 acres to
every adult male freedman, or 40,000,000 in all.

divide, and sell to the highest bidder. An
average of $10 psr acre would net $3,540,000,-
000. The odds should go toward the payment
of pensions and the indemnification of loyal men
North and South : the billions, toward liquida
ting the national debt. Probably we shall bear

An extract from a business . letter dated at
Augusta, Ga., Aug. 14th, 1865, has been pub
lished, in which the following statements ap
pear : " -
"A (iovernment sale or norses ana mu s
brought large numbers to the city itr-day. It is
estimated that not less, than 10,000 persons at
tended the sale, two-thirds of whom were freed-
men. The stock brought enormous prices, one
team, six mule, selling for $1.265 much hi h
$r than previous' to the- war.. Freed men bid
freely and boucrht largely. 1 here were numer
ous conflicts between the two races, but I hear
of no serious injuries. The former slave begins
to assert hiojself in some ctses ton much
If, after a short half year of ignorant freedom,
the "former slave begins to assert himself in
some cases too much," vrha' may be expected of
him when he has received a decent education ?
,. Of course he won't work at least, thousands of
Southerners say bo but some how. or- another
he does work and gets money, by the uje of
which; he stands in the way ot many!
The people of the South may as well recognize
the fact now, as after a wbile, that the tree ! men
are honest, industrious and capable of transact
ing business intn able manner.
: The late B'-poblican Convention in Massachu
setts, presented in itschoiee of Vice Presidents
two wonderful instances -of the 'changes whioh
have taken place in public opinion during the
past five years. Benj F Bnrler, " a man who
was the head and front of the Breckenridge p; rty
of the North during the Presidential campaign
of 1860, sat by the side of the Rev. L? A
Grimes, a colored minister of one of the Boston
churches, both filing the. office above mention
ed. The man who, but a short time since, would
have predicted such a thing w; uld have been
hooted at as a fool or a fanatic. Truly the world
moves. ";"Mfi.

"The question is being agitated in the
nation now, Shall the negroes be allowed
to vote ? To one who has mingled with
them, as I have done, the serious discus
sions upon the propriety of it, were it not
so -serious- a matter, would provoke a
smde. 1 hope that, for at least one year
to come, there will be no voting allowed
in the rebellious States; but when it is

as ever, ana are aeierminea io injure u
much as they dare, and that those shall
be denied who have been prayingfor it,
and weeping for it, and lighting for it, and
now love it with true, loyal hearts, is too
unreasonable to be seriously discussed.
To be sure, there is a largo mass of ne
groes who are very degraded, and uufit to
exercise the privilege of franchise,: and 1
should assuredly hope for a qualification
requiring the ability to read and wrifce.
But this ignorant mass are no more unfit
for voters than the- large class of poor
white citizens, who are hot only ignorant
and degraded, but vicious, lawless, vaga
bond and . violent. The 'qualification
ought to ber of course, applied to them a$
well as to the negroes ; and thero is litth
doubt as to., which will rise above it first
In short, the qualification, whatever it
may be, must be entirely irrespective ot
color in order to satisfy either the de
mands of justice or the interests of the

It would be fair from his language to in

be as deep as that of Northerners for oui

An Examtlb for News Bots. Wo find
the following in
Union:. ' V'-.-,. -L X ' .v' i ; .l '
For several years' past our citizens have
doubtless noticed, amongst the newsboys
of Nashville, a slender,", dark haired aud
dark eyed little fellow,- who : was ever
activelyand industriously plying hia.vocaV
tion. He was the earliest to be seen in
the mbniing,'and tho latest at night.-
Neither the heat of enramer, nor the cold,
and ice, and snow and rains of winter de
terred him. 1 It often 6eemed a mystery to
us how one so delicate coold eudnro so
much. His calls were regularly made at
all the Nashville newspaper offices, where
his reputation for honesty and promptness;
made him a most welcome visitor. Ho
also sold Louisville, Cincinnati, St. Lonis,
Chicago and New York papers. A more .
diligent and indefatigable trader, in his
line, we never knew. Ho possessed re-?
markahle business' talent,and seldom made
an investment that did not py. Ho made
money, ami what is better, took caxo of it.
A full share of it Ikj spent upon his moth
er, and tne remainder of the family, but
this was casting bread on the waters and
a! way 8 returned' to him, sooner or later,
with interest. Wei), thi noble lad, is
about to retire from the business. He has
purchased a house and lot with the prutita
of his inddstry, and has a balance: left
with which he proposes to educate him
'self. So the sharp little trader, will, for
several years after this, be a school boy.
Of course he will be a-zealous determined
student. Ho has learned in the sch.ol of
experience the value of time and steady
application, aud hU training will avail him .
ift the school nouse. wnen ne grauuaioo
and bids adiou to the schoolroom, he will
then be fitted for any kind . of business,
aud we doubt not will again enter on a
career of justice iu some useful calling.
Who will not join ua in wishing prosperi
ty and happiness, 60 long as he may live,
to Charley Griffith.
To boys of every color and class, the
bove brief statement of the result of closo
md economical application to business,
is filled with importance. We expect that
several large fortunes will be made by the
jniles of this State
iu the sale of tho
Journal.
President Lincoln's Views oa the Suffrage

A New Y-wk dispaicti, ot S 'p. 25th, says that the
Southern Advocate, of 8ept. 12. publishes the fellow-

ileneral Wadawortb. who Wl at the battle of tho

eirly day ia favor of graDllbg UDlTeraal aroowty.
Mr. Lincoln says : . "
"You desire to know, In the event ot our complete
ac-eta In the fiVtd, the same being followed by a
oyai and ctteejtXii euOoilsIuu on tno part of the Son to,
f nclveraal amnesty should not be accompanied with
iniversal Buffrage and now, sioce yon know my
.rivate Inclinations as to what terms should be grant
J to the South, io the contiogancy mentioned, I will
lere add that, If our puccees phoald be thus reaUdf
llowed by such desire 1 r sult, I cannot see, If uni
reraal amnesty is granted, bow, under the circum
stances, I can avoid exactlog, In return, universal
uffmfri, or, at least, suffrage on the basls.of Intelli
ence and military service. H)w ) better .tba con
litlon of the colored race has been a study which baa
utracted my serious and cartfal attention ; hence I
think I am clear and decided as to what course I shall
