There is a grow- I ing public sentiment in his favor by reason I of the stress of circumstances in the Soutb, As an criginal, disconnected proposition, | there are not many people who would in- I vest tboBe who were so lately elaves, with the high duties and privileges of citixon ehip, bccause such an act is felt to be not in accordance with the "eternal fitness of I things." We have too many ignorant, I purchasable and otherwise unfit people al ready voiiog in this country. To add the | negroes to them is not desirable, exoept as I % matter of necessity in the Soutb. If J the country could feel assured that there was really the germs of an entente 1 cordial in the Soutb ; tbat the people in I good faith and in hearty good will were I returniog to unreserved allegiance toward 1 the Government; that we should have no I hindrances from them in elections, and on I the public buBtiogs?then there would be | very little disposition to make negro suf- I frage an issue iu the work of reconstruc tion. Public distrust, however, of the South inclines Union people very generally J to look with more or less favor on the pro position to give those who fought for the I couotry, und all their class, a vote, in order I to offset apprehended trouble from their I lale rebel masters. Contrary to what most I people suppose, negro voiiog is no new I tbiog in the Scu^h. , I a, Louisiana free ne groes voted up to a few years ago. In 1 Maryland they once voted. North Carolina, in a constitution whioh ] was framed in 1776, under the fresh inspi ration of the Declaration of Independence| I declared tbat ??all persons possessed of a freehold in any town in this State, having a right to representation, and also all free men who have been inhabitants of any tuch town twelve months next before and at the day of election, and shall have paid publio taxes, ehall be entitled to vote."? Judge Gaston, in his often cited opinion in the ease of the State vs. Manuel (2 Dev. & 13at. 20,) declares with respect to this early provision that *'it is a matter of uni versal notoriety that under it freo persons* without regard to color, claimed and exer~ cised the franchise, until it was taken from free men of color, a few years eince, by our amended constitution." The change made by the amended constitution of 1835( however, was not made without strenuous resistance. The right of colored men to vote was abrogated by a vote of 66 to 01, aod the strong minority urged their views ou the broadest ground of tbo natural title of all men to equal rights. Tennessee appears to have taken her dootrine in this matter from her parent State, North Carolina; and the idea of free blacks voting was so familiar, that the late Mr. Justice Cation, when Chief Justice of Tennessao, held tbat the manumission of slaves by will was imperfect, until the Slate assented to the act which was to give the community a new member. "It is adopting into the body politic a new mem ber," he eaid in the case of Fisher's Ne groes v. Dobbs (6 Yerg. 199),?a vastly important measure in every community, and especially in ours where the majority of free men, over twenty-one years of age, govern the balance of the people, together with themselves; where the negro's vote at the polls is of as high value as that of any man." Our rtaders will find these facts, and many others to the same purpose, collect ed with great industry in an able opinion given in 1857 (44 Maine, &21), by Mr. Jus tice Appleton, of Maine, now Chief Jus* tice of tbat State, upon the question pro posed by the Legislature of Maine, whether free colored men were voters under the constitution of the State. Many points bearing upon this inquiry may also be found in the dissenting opinion of Mr. Jus tice Curtis in the case of Dred Soott. The whole of the historical evidence, we may add, goes to show that in general the Southern people in the early days of the republic looked less to color than to real qualification as a test for the extension of the franchise, and that when free blacks were excluded it was less by reason of color than of essential unfitness. How | thoroughly all this it now teveried, we j hardly need eay. The usually well informed Washington correspondent of the Boston Advert'utr un dertakes to give the views of the President and his Cabinet on the negro suffrage ques tion. From his letter we make the follow ing extract; I have wken much poina to learn what the President's view* upon the question? involved are. I am entirely satisfied that be would give all negroes who bave been in the army, and the more intelligent ones of those vrho have not, the privilege o! voting, if be believed be had authority un der the Constitution to do bo. "What does the President say ahout negro suff rage?" I asked of the chairman of one of the numerous delegations of Southerners in the city. "Well, he don't say much; ''ho abks us if it seems fair to make the negro fight and then refuse to let him vote; and he tells us that pretty much all you Northerners seem to be In favor of letting him vote, and he says that thouyh he hasn't lei him vote in North Carolina, he may do so somewhere else." In -respect to the idea in these last italicised words, I may say .that I know the President remarked to a nigh officer, about the time the North Carolioa proclamation was issued, "We'll try this plan first, and if it don't tcork, why, then we'll try something else." Mr. Ashley him - self is authority that the President "de sires all men should vote, without distinc tion of color." Mr. 8unmer was un doubtedly told that between himself and the President there is no difference of opinion on the question that justice and expediency alike would sanction the extension of the suffrage to negroes. Judge Yerger of Mis siesippi was told that no good reason, aside from the prejudices of the people, could be given for excluding them from the right of suffrage ; and it was said to an Alabama gentleman that he would do well to use bis influence in preparicg the minds of his people for quiet acquiescence in general suffrage. The President, however, is at present clearly of opinion that he has uo power to say that the negroes shall vote. The States have never been out of the Union, though their "proper practical relations" to the Union have been, for the time being, suspended. He can do no more, be holds, than set tbem back where they were before they passed ordinances of secession. Yet, inasmuch as the people of the Slate have been in rebellion, he can, as the executive bead of the government, say that, as pun ishment for crime, they shall not now vote, lie can withhold the right of suffrage from certain classes here'ofore exeroising it; bnt ho cannot extend it to other classes ex cluded by State constitutions. Briefly, I understand this to be bis position. Attention was oalled in this correspon dence in the latter part of April to the fact that in respect to Virginia Mr. Johnson was essentially carrying out the pro gramme of Mr. Lincoln. This North Car olina plan is the same as tbe Virginia plan, except that there was no occasion to spec ity the qualifications of voters in the lattef Slate. It was also at that time in this correspondence prodicted that the good old lasbion of Cabinet meetings would be revived. It only remains now to add that tbe Cabinet is a unit in eupport of the Presidential policy upon this point of ne gro suffrage. A story has been going tbe rounds of the press to tbe effect tbat .at least three . members are in favor of negro suffrage and three aro opposed to it. If I am not misinformed in regard to a matter con cerning which I have made careful inquiry, every member of the Cabinet wonld*(gladly put tbe ballot into the hands of every ne gro who has carried a musket, and into the hands of the more intelligent of those who have not done eo; and every member also rests content in the Presidential opin ion tbat the general government cannot thus give any negro the right of suffrage. "To restore the proper practical relations of tbe States to tbe Union" is tbe one thing Mr. Johnson has nearest at heart.? Show him tbat it can be done by giving the freedmen of tbe South tbe right of suf frage, and that he can constitutionally give them tbat right, and I do not doubt that he would adopt that plan to-morrow, and that he would be sustained therein by the Cabinet. Show him that he has maJe a mistake in the North Carolina plan, and be will drop it at once. I am convinccd tbat he is not wedded to any set fcrm or method of proceedure, and that he specially desires it shall be every where seen and felt in what large setae freedom and equality are the birthright of all men of whatever race or color or social condition. From Tezii. From a file of late Texas papers we in infer tbat there is a good deal of disorder in tbe State. The soldiers bave been help ing themselves to the property of the de funct rebel government. The chief Masonic officers bave issued an address to tbe ten thousand Masons in the State to help pre serve order. The Galveston News of May 25:b, says that history affords no instanco of such a sudden collapse of a powerful nation, and adds: "It is humiliating to refleot tbat we are the first people recorded in history, num bering eight milliooB of freemen, (or who once boasted of beiog freemen,) who have been subjugated." Gov. Murrah issued' an addresB on tbe 1st iuat. to the Tex&tts. The followiog is tbe principal part of it: "Hitherto the name of Texas haa been a brighter word for heroism. Your brethren from the battlefielda beyond the Mississippi ore on the way to meet you. They bring heavy hearts, but they bring souls true to doty and instinct, with honor. All that bravery could dare and inatinot suffer, they did for you there. Here they ask from you only firmness and patience, a brief time for yonr common Texas. Soldier*!

True to it, it will remain tbe em blem ot honor and patriotism?of memo ries and hopes alike glorious. I uphold do extreme views. I bave no : impractical designs. I declare frankly to the people of Texas, that it the terms can I be procured.which I believe we are now in tbe course "of obtaining, I ahall bow to what seems the destioy which returnB Texas to the American Union; and in gocd faith, so long as charged with your executive power, I will seek to affect this traneition in the manner which will beat protect the interesta of the State. , ?-If???. Builatu >1 Richmond, It appears that Kicbmond hat been over run wlih tpeculijart, who earned baaie rent? to advance ts exorbitant rates. Tbe Rrpublican of thatciij says: " Ship loads of merchandize are now leaving Rlcbmotjdiu search ef a betler market. Merchivnts who opened important branches of basiout here a few months ago, are now seljtog off their stock* at cost, and preparing to leave tbe city, not to return.

" We uoderttajWfiat tbe b!gb rents are mssaass^ssiw or occnpation unknown hitherio in this community. Tble is the business of bro kerage in all the departments of supplies and outfit. If B man, .for example, wauls 'h'u'1 "f clothet, he need not gj to a rnir chant clothier or tailor to,pnrcbaso tbem, or order them to be made here, but he goes to a broker id that business, gives bis mens ure, aud orders tbe garments to be sent bim from New Yctk or Philadelphia by express.. So with biota and shoes, ladies' artssea and bonnets, and enppliea of all Kinds. The broker rents a small room at a tew dollarB per month, abd his customers obtain bis articles from a distance, minus the extra per centage that would be put on them if the goods had been sold Irom a costly storeroom on Muin street, hired at a rent of lour, aix, eight or ten thousand dollars a year. The brokerage aud express Ire ght is a slight charge compared with toe tax the purchaser would have to pay as a contribution for the rent of the store." Tub status, feelings and failures of mem bers of tbe late rebel Congress is spoken of below by some correspondent in Rich mond, Gbarley Ruasoll among the rest. Charles played for high etakea, but it seems he lost everything. Tte poor fel low will never be a member of aoy sort of CongreBS any more, nor get his much cov cted foreign appointment. "The members of the lato rebel Con gress, so far us I con ascertain, recurd themselves as entirely beyond the palo of preferment for any position of public trust in the future.^ They have no hopes and no aspirationp, in a political sense, and, strangely enough, they realiza. for the 6rat time, that they will be muoh better off in their newly allotted sphere of peaceful se of them, no doubt, will fetl bitterly disappointed at tbia change in their condition, lor they prided themselves in the conviction that a bright era or pros penty and high political distinction was dawning npou thsm, and they worked jealously to establish their claims to blah positions under the new dirpeneatiobs. Russell, of Hheejiqg.wbo made himBelf the peculiar orgWijf-Jtfr, Davis In the House of Kfpw'.eS^ufves, looked with cer tainty for his appointment to soroo high foreign mission, nnd Semmes, of Louisiana Davis' organ in tbe Senate, regarded bis appointment to the mission to Rome as certain beyond question. There was ecarco y a member in either House who did not look forward with more or less certainty to somo place of importance. The Keo tuckians bud an eje to tbo position* offer log tbe best prospects for theft. If Ken tucky has many more of tbo stock which astumed to represent her in the rebel Con gress, she bad better look her treasury door carefully. Bnorma Ignatius, the English monk, having found that Bevoral of bis disolples Indulged in strong drink, has issued ibis edict: 1 "la the name of God. Amen. We, Ig. nation, Superior of tbe Koglish Congrega tion of St. Benedict, do declaro and prom, lea our boos having been guilty of tbo sin of drunkenness, and refusing to make sat isfaction for tbe same, thereby perjuring themselves and breaking their solemn and voluntary promises of obedience unto" us, we piooouuce tbem separated from all the spiritual blessings of our Order, from a share in tbe prayers and iutercesaions ot Ibu monks, Irom tbo private worship aod conversation of our faithful sons Bod daughters.

"II tbe corse," seye a London paper, "should provo as impotent as its grammar is defective and its logla ioconseqaeot, it is not likely to do tbe refractory eons of 'Ignatius' htlf so much harm as the bad habits they seem to have acquired." Laaot Caorj asD W*Lt.-nsnavtD Na* onois ?The accounts from all parts of the State represent that tbe growlog crops never gave greater promise. Tbe wheat and bay crnps, in particular, are reported to bo uouiually good, and tbe yield is ex pectod to be great over tbe average. A gentleman from Albemarle tells us that tbe farmers there will make more wheat tble season than tbey have for mioy years. We are glad to also hear that tbe negroes are generally behaving themselves well, and are remaining at home workiog for their former masters. In some parts of tbe country, remote, like Albemarle, from the seat of war, no change oau be observed iu tbe relations between master and elave, except that the negro knows full well, and tbe mailer concedes, that he is made free by the war, and that henceforth he it to receive pay for hit work. Tbe farmers are entirely reconciled to ibis change, and opon some plantatioot tbe work in tbe field! it progretting as quietly and smoothly aa before tbe war. Io some cases egain the negroes have deserted tbelr former matter! in u body,but many of them have since returned, and others have been foiced by hunger to go to work whirev.r they ciuld get it.

Johnson the newly appointed Provisi nal Governor of Georgia, left the city this evening for bis State. Goneral Howard, Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bareau, in a letter to tbe Com missioner at Richmond, says of fixing tbe compensation to Freedmen: "I am disin clined to fix even minimum rates that shall apply to all cases. The diversity of circumstances is so great that I believe justice cm be better approximated by cou tracts, approved by tbe Assistant Commis sioners, Superintendents of Freedmen or otber officers on duty in connection with the Bureau. They must first satisfy them selves as to what is a just compensation for the different classes of laborers in the localities coming under their immediate commi6eion. If tin Commissioner fixes a rate of compensation there will seldom be pa|d anything beyond that rate. .Be sure, however, to protect the employee sga.pst labor without compensation. Tbe employ* er is protected by bis contract, which the employee, when treated in gaod faith, is bound to fulfil.". ? Miscellaneous Items New Youk, May 21.?Judge William F. Nordwood, direct tax commissioner for South Carolina, has arrived here from Charleston. He reports tbat the people o! that city, notwithstanding tbe presumed scarcity of money, have paid into tbe U. 8. Treasury over $90,000 on account of the direct taxes, for which thoy were in ar rears. Orders havo been issued reducing the Mississippi Squadron to fifteen vessel*. Acting R?ar-admiral L. P.

All of tbe mortor ves sels and all the iron-clade, except the Ten* nesseo and Missouri, are ordered to Mem phis, and will at once be put out of com mission.
