State a»fate-rae\|«eetten •« snf. trase aa« Repreaeatatlen. The recent decided vote In Ohio against negro suffrage, has had the effect to open the eyes of some of the leading Republican papers in regard to the right of the states to tlx the qualifications of voters. The proposition of Mr. SrMJtKRfor Congress to assume this power—a proposition which Tn*i>. Stkvkns has recently reiterated—does not seem to be received with favor among moderate and thoughtful Republicans who give tone and character to the action of their party. Whenever Congress successfully attempte tooverrlde a power which the Constitution deflweto the states, and which has been conceded since the organization of the Government, In regard to too question of suffrage, the revolution will not stop there. John finrxcv AnaMS In his letter accepting the nomination fbr Governor, by the Democratic State Convention of Massachusetts, foreshadows an Idea in regard to the rights of (he States which Is well worthy of consideration In connection with the suffrage question. lie says: •< i am glad to see the doctrine of State rights, as understood and promulgated by the founders of pur commonwealth and by thnfdhers of our national Union, rescued from unmerited obloquy and cherished by you, as tt must be by all, if the New England Shit, a are to retain their senatorial prepond irance in Congress.” When innovation commences In our peculiar form of government—when one barrier Is b . ken down which protecta the rights and liberty of the citizen. It requires no prophet to forotel that the centralization of power will progress until the direction and control of the Government will be committed to the few instead of the m »ny. We regard the efforts of the party In power to restrain and limit the powers of the j<tas»* s v, * t ' rn 'U® , U*—powers which tin y did not surrender or delegate to the General Governm >nt when the Unionwas formed if they shoul I prove successful, as a surrender to a strong or despotic government. The late election in Ohio, especially the vote of the people on the suffrage question, is evidence tY t Uiey are determined to maintain the reserved powers and rights of the States. The New York 7(Du's, a leading Republican print vigorously opposes the revolutionary project# of Si mnkii and Stkvkns, and forcibly maintains the right of the States to determine and e mtrol the qualifications of voters. Discussing thequcstlon it says: ft Is very certain that until now the entire control of the question of suffrage has been conceded to the separate States. So far as we are aware no proposition has ever been made by any party or by any man of any standing, to declare by act of Congress who should, and who should not, have the right to vote in any State. The language of the Constitution would seem to be sufficiently explicit not to leave any doubt on this point: “ The electors’’ fur members of the House of Representatives, it declares In the first article, •• in each State, sh dl have the qualifications of electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature.'’ This commits entirely and exclusively t > the State legislature, the right of fixing the qualifications for electois, and we know of no el »u«e In the Constitution whteh changes or modifies the right thus conferred, In any form or degree whatever. A subsequent section of the same article says that “the times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof; tint the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as the places of choosing Senators.” 11 is not ea«y to see how Mr. Sumner or Stevens, or anybody else, can construe this I inguage otherwise than as It has been cons'rued by every Congress and every State and e/cry statesman, from the beginning of the Government to the present ilay—as absolutely forbidding tho enactment of such a law as they expect to force the Republican party to pass. Such a law has been enacted, it is true, for the Southern States; but the power to enact it and force it upon them was never claimed, even by Mr. Stevens himself, as derived from the Constitution. He always asserted that i engross had It only by the right of conquest; that it was wholly outside of the Constitution, and was simply one of the rights which, in any war. tho conqueror always has over the conquered party. Whether he will now change bis ground on this point, or whether he will contend that the Northern States have been, or must be, -conquered” also, remains to be seen. H also remains to be seen whether the Republican party at large will respond to the rather extreme demand thus made upon it— and what effect it will have upon coming elections if they do. As we have already explained, the recent defeats tho paityhas sustained are due. in our judgment, to the fact, that it has gone too far in its action “outside i he Constitution,” in asserting for the national Government absolute authority over the States, and in disregard of the fundamental law and usages of the republic, already. Whether it can recover its ground by going further, tho future must disclose. But we are inclined to think that the Northern states will not surrender their own rights, quite so complaeently as they have consented to the overthrow of those ot the South." If the Constitution Is disregarded by Congress upon the suffrage question, and the people submit to that usurpation of power, tt ran not but result In a radical change of the Government. Since the advent of the Republican party to power, the tendency has been to the centralization of power in the General Government, and unless the people change the direction of public affairs, as they will have tho power to do in the important elections cf the coming year, free Institutions and popular government will bo numbered among the things that were. Prophesies of JIr. Clay nnd .Hr. Calhoun. In H13 Henry Ceav, who led the Whig hosts in the great campaign of 18dl, made the following prophecy: The agitation of slavery in the free States WillFirst—Destroy all harmony. Second- Lead to division. Third- To poverty. Fourth—To war. Fifth- -The extermination of the black race. Sixth To ultimate military despotism. Charleston papers republish Cat.hoi’N'* prediction of 1820, attaching to It much significance. It Is as follows; The blacks, and tbc profligate whites that might unite with them, would become the principal recipients of the Federal offices and patronage, and would, in consequence, be raised above the whites of the South la the political and social scale. W'e would, in • word, change conditions with them, a degradation greater than has yet fallen to the lot of a free and enlightened people, and one from which wc could not escape should emancipation take place, (which certainly will if not prevented), but by fleeing the homes of our ancestors, and by abandoning our country to our former slaves, to become the permanent abode of disorder, anarchy, poverty, misery, and wretchedness.

Grant's Views of tit* State Ei.*cTioNs.—The correspondent of the Baltimore Nun, who writes under tho signature of Data, and whoae dispatches are usually accurate, thua speaks of General Grant’s opinion of tbe recent elections r General Grant to-day, In conversation on the elections of last Tuesday, said he was pleased with the result, because It would allay anxiety about tbe conflict of arms and revolution, and compel moderation on tbe part of the extremists, who have been threatening measures that disturbed the public mind, and kept well disposed citizens in alarm for tbe stability of the Government and security of financial inter-

ests.

—Thcrt.ow Wekp having accounted for the politics of the Louisville Journal by saying that “since tho termination of hostilities a son of Prentice, who served under the stars and bars, together with another rebel officer, bave been admitted Into tho Journal concern,” old Prentice retorts that he has but one son, and he is not In the “concern,” and that no other rebel officer has been at all connected with it- “ Thus much,” says Prentice, “for your calumny, old Thitrlow. You ought, if your ancient joints arc not too rheumatic or gouty, to go down upon all fours with a file of your paper under voiir firA«u» s mouin ana lick out your slanders. Before a hundredth part of the licking could be done, though, your poisonous old tongue would wear out and that * just what should be.” Tint Nei.ro Vote in Ohio.—The Columbus Statesman says: “ To sum up, it is probable at least live hundred negro votes have been polled illegally at Xenia, seven hundred at Cleveland, five hundred at Oberlin, and over one thousand in other parts of the State. If the Legislature on a contest, should throw out the whole vote of these precincts, it would only be following tbe precedent set by Congress in tbc Yoorheks case. At all events, tbc radicals must be made to understand tbat this HlegaL voting of negroes will no longer be tolerated, even if It bo necessary to detail a police force from other counties to prevent it at such polls as Ncnia. Ohio has decided by over .’>0,800 majority against negro suffrage, and the legislature must provide tbat tbe verdict be practically effective, otherwise our congressional and presidential elections next year will be eontroled by imported freedmen’s bureau and Kentucky darkias, paid for by shoddy money to vote down white men. Yoorheks Serenaded in Washington. The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier says Yoorheks was serenaded in the National Capitol on Tuesday night, and spoke to a vast crowd. He said the victory won by the people of Ohio meant to redeem the South from the horrors of negro supremacy, and save the country from radical misrule and ruin. It also meant that money good enough for the poor man was good enough for the rich bondholder, and be now served a notice on the pampered class of money vultures and shoddy contractors, if they did not pay taxes on the bonds or reduce tho interest, the bonds would be paid off In greenbacks. The Democracy would fight it out on this line, and not allow tbc radicals to shirk tho issue they created.

the collection of said claim.

Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings of this meeting bo tendered to the editors of each of our town papers, wilh a request that the same be published throughout the state. Tho Louisville Courier gives tbc follow-

ing as the history of the case:

The history of this sffatr is simply this. Tho term of service of the Seventr-elh Indiana was about expiring, when the authorities of Marion county and the city of Indianapolis made a proposition to them that If they would re-enllst and credit themselves to the city and county they would be paid a local bounty of $400 a man. Mayor Caven, of Indianapolis, so telegraphed to tbe regiment at some point, 8helt>yvtlle, we believe, in Tennessee. At this time Marion county was largely behind in filling her quota of volunteers and a heavy draft threatened her people. Hence their offer to the soldiers of the Seventeenth Regiment tbat if they would re-enlist and credit themselves to Marion county they would pay them $400 a piece. The offer was accepted. The men re-enlisted, were credited to Marion county and the threatened draft avoided. Fifty dollars were then paid to each of the men of tbe Seventeenth Regiment, but the remaining three hundred and fifty dollars to each man has never been paid, and the authorities of Marion county and the city of Indianapolis. have utterly re fused to comply with

their contract.

From the Washington National Intelligencer. Stanton's PsnfllgacyIn commenting a few days ago upon the reckless profligacy of Mr. Stanton while Secretary of War, we mentioned the purchase of the crazy and worthless old steamship Illinois as one of the evidences of the fearful exttmragance with which million!* of the people’s money uau oecn thrown away for the benefit of political partisans ami parasites by tbe tyrannical autocrat of the War Department. Further and more detailed and accurate information discloses tbe fact that this purchase of the Illinois and ot another steamsnip—tbe Empire City—from the same owner, was not only an act of reckless and profligate extravagance, but even Involved a base and outrageous fraud upon the Government, which must have been known to Mr. Stanton at the time, and to which he could not have been otherwise than privy and participant. It appears tbat the two old steamers—the Illinois and Empire City—belonging to Marshal O. Roberts, of New York, had been offered for sale to the Government. Tbe quartermaster General ordered a survey of the vessels by competent inspecting officers of bis department, who reported that they were unseaworthy and totally useless and unlit for transport service. At ibis juncture It seems that ex-Judge Edwards Pierrepont, the particular and notoriously, almost only confidential friend of Secretary Stanton, made his appearance as attorney for tbe owner, and notwithstanding the ail verse report of the quartermaster General’s office, strenuously urged the purchase of tiie vessels at an aggregate price, lor the two, of six hundred thousand dollars, when the highest estimated value placed upon them by experts was not above sixty thousand, The fraud proposed was so glaring that even the unscrupulous Stanton desired to bolster himself up for its perpetration. It was determined by tbe conspirators to drag President Lincoln into some share of the responsibility. A petition for the purchase of the Illinois was exhibited to him by the crafty attorney for the owner. The excellence of the vessel was extolled—the pressing exigencies of the department for transportation were urged, the State pride of tbe ingenious Mr. I/’ in was aoroitly tickled—the important fact .uat Mr. Roberts was about to become the Republican candidate for mayor of New York city, and the aid that would be given to the cause by thus furnishing him means for liberal expenditures in its behalf was presented, but all tbe wh:lethe adverse report of the (Quartermaster General was studiously kept out of sight. Mr. Lincoln was Induced to indorse upon the petition for the purchase of the Illinois, the following words, “ let the ship be paid for.” Those who are aware how many positive orders of the President were habitually disregarded and treated with absolute contempt by Mr. Stanton, will readily perceive that all this manipulation of the unsuspecting Mr. Lincoln was simply Intended to borrow tbe color of his sanction for the perpetration of one of the grossest frauds ever successfully carried our, with the knowledge and consent of the official upon whom the Executive relied for proper information and advise as to the matters pertaining to thr War Department. This indorsement of the President was filed, with tbe papers in tbe Illinois ease, in tbe third auditor’s office, and, notwithstanding the protest of the (Quartermaster General, the sb>p was paid for March 23,1865, by General George D. YTise, a bureau officer or the War Department. Mr. Lincoln died. The paper be bad Indorsed in regard to the Illinois mysteriously turned up In the papers for the purchase of the Empire City, and on June 30, 1865, after tbe death of Mr. Lincoln, tbat vessel also was paid for by the War Department In tbe same manner as tbe Illinois. Thus some six hundred thousand dollars were fraudulently paid out by Secretary Stanton, against the protest of the Quartermaster General, for property notoriously not worth more than sixty thousand under any circumstances. These vessels were so utterly worthless to tbe War Department tbat Immediately after purchase the Illinois was turned over to the quarantine office at New York, as a quarantine hospital ship. This is only one little leaf out of tbe reeord of frauds and lavish expenditures perpetrated In the War Department, under the very eyes, and with tbe knowledge and participation ef Secretary Stanton. If the records of the Treasury Department could be reached for tbe purpose, hundreds of similar cases would be exposed among tbe payments mane on account of the War Department while Stanton was in charge of it.

Kaaieal Incendissrlans In RlchnamA. According to advices from Richmond, Yirginta. to-night, the radical mass convention held there on Monday was composed of about twenty-five hundred negroes and nine white men.

A (lossippy Letter - Berlin and Vienna anil their Surroundings—7he Habilt and Cuttoms of tke People—Social Life—The Palaces—The Notabilities of EuropePersonal Impressions. SpccLiti Correspondence of Indianapolis Herald. Berlin, Prumia, September 21,1867. * * * I can scarcely realize tbe warm weather you have had, for it is like November here all tbe time, although I never saw people drees so thinly. It is quite common to see ladies on tbe strict in white book muailin. Tbe other night while I was in Hamburg, Mr. B. took Mrs B. and myself to the opera, after which we went to a restaurant to get our supper. All the time my only covering was a velvet jacket. Like all theaters in Europe, the opera bouse was like an oven. Every body wears either bare neck and sleeves or Dee coverings, and wrap up upon coming out. But I sat with my jacket buttoned up, came out into this cold. Dll atmosphere, and sat in the cafe garden for an hour, with no additional covering. So I am paying Dr my experience now. We have been in Berlin a month, and find it not so fine a city as Vienna, although a hundred thousand more people In Its population. J. went to Hamburg on Tuesday morning at five o’clock, and was back here the next evening at the same hour—be says it is more like our own cities than any other be baa seen—more English spoken there—the streets are long, straight and cross each other alright angles as ours. I wish you could see the streets in Vienna. Some not longer then one block of buildings, and if you stop to look in at the show windows, you are in danger of being run over by the cabs, so narrow are the streets which are destitute of sidewalks. Did Mrs. R. learn to drink beer in Germany? The best in the world is made in Munich, and is no heavier than water— everybody drinks it. In Vienna we had a delicious drink that we ladies generally took. It was a melange, and is brought to you in a tumbler. It is made of coffee and hot tohitpped cream. 1 never taated tt out of Y lenna. Wo had only two days of Mr. and Mrs. Wright's society, for which we were very sorry. We bave the bad luck to find the Legations always in a commotion. Mr. Motlt y had just left Vienna, and Mr. Bancroft had just arrived there. They have a beautiful nousehere, of which they will occupy only one flat, or as wc would say story. We called to see them at the hotel Royale. Mrs. B. was out buying furniture, but we sat some time with his honor, the historian. He told us he wm educated in Germany, and spoke the language as well as English. Tbe day the Parliament was opened, he was presented, and had a very high and unusual compliment from the Crown Princess. She sent for him after the ceremonies, and had quite a chat with him, praising his looks, and saying many flattering things of Mr. Motley. Since then we bear he has had an audience with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. Then he dined with the Eing at Potsdam, (I think he is the Jtrst American who has had the honor.) Potsdam Is a little town about one hour’s ride from here on the cars. We spent one very interesting day there. There are six or seven palaces, tbe grounds joining each other, and as they are occupied by the King, his son, brothers, nephews, etc., I suppose they have a nice cozy time of it—like common mortals. Have you heard of San Souci ? (I think I have it right now.) It was a favorite residence of Frederick the Great. We were all through the grounds, but the old (Queen Dowager was taking her walk about the immediate grounds, so we must fain keep out. By the way—I saw on a marble statue, written with a pencil only a day or two before, the names of all the Farragut family—the quintessence of vulgarity! We were permitted to go through Bablesburg Castle, although the King was there, and we saw his dinner table set. About a mile off is the new palace, new because it was made some time since the flood. The Princess Victors was there; for we saw her son and heir on his pony, and also saw a little round bale ot moveable lace and muslin, with a huge ribbon bow at the back, toddling in front of two or three nurses, and were told it was a young Princess. I certainly never saw so small a child walk. Of course tbe windows are full of the Princess’ photographs—all in every shape and dress bear the same wonderful likeness to Fanny B—m, so I

think.

We have a friend here that I suspect is the correspondent of the New Y'ork World and Times, and knows all the gossip. He came yesterday to say the Crown Prince and wife were driving m the Thier garten, and to know if I would not go, as he had heard me say I was anxious to see her. I saw the King and Prince in Pans several times. Although she looks like Fanny, who was beautiful—the Princess Victoria is absolutely laughed at for her homeliness. She is not much admired here—for in spite of her great welatii she is very penurious—which the people do not like. She has a new hobby; she bss taken a fancy to bave an Engliab dairy at Potsdam. When we were In Paris she was there, and I heard much interested in all pertaining to Marie Antoinette, who had a Swiss chalet at Versailles, and went with her ladies of morning to drink fresh milk. Ah! this Princess can never be a Marie Antoinette—there is too much of tbe earth-earthy about her. Still 1 have no doubt that the Princess Victoria is one of the most talented personages now of her rank In existence. In England they call her clever—she has done a bust of her father in marble. The loveliest thing I ever saw is a portrait of the (Queen Louisa, mother of this King. Her statue on her tomb, at Chartottenburg, is also exquisitely beautiful. She is the most revered of any Prussian Queen. There is agjMious portrait of Napoleon the great at Dreamt, and one of Nicholas the First, ot Russia, here. His wife was this King's sister* making the Czar Alexander the nephew of William the First. William, we had a good look at the other evening, at the opera. He did not sit In the royal box, which was filled with officers (every gentleman is a foil dre—d officer In Europe,) and one lady. Very near us a lady sat alone in a box; on accidentally looking there I saw, whom I knew from his photograph to be the King. She was t»Ur(*»g to him and standing; he also stood, bat seemed to he engaged in looking over the house. Then we have also seen the great Prussian Count, Bismarck. Never did I aae any one more unlike he 1a represented. The crowd attracted our attention first, and then I remarked th* biggest man I almost ever saw; and really think some of his reputation was earned by the big way he leeks and talks. He must be most be much over si^ feet, with great broad chest and shoulders; he has a (tall round red hce and large bine eyes. He wore a light bine military cost, buttoned to the throat. Light blue is the color of a general’s coat all over Europe, I think. He also had on a white eap, with a broad light yellow band.

It contains no drugs or other materials in the slightest degree injurious, even to the most delicate system, and can always be use l with perfect safety. It has longbeen in constant use by many of our most eminent physicians, who give it their unanimous and unqualified approval.
