It has! IVcgro Sull'i-age. As the election is rapidly approaching we feel impressed more and more each day with the importance of the question of negro suffrage. The Democracy have wisely avoided the discussion of the question; preferring to submit itlo the prejudices of the people, without arguments Republicans should not bo content with such a Istate of things.

SSo call: having beei made on me, the Legisiatare, as 1 think, properly da- cliuing the requeat the Governor to authorize him to make tne call, no troops were sent. The report of Captain xviuis was yesterday received, and after its pe rusal I deemed the only thing for me to do was to transmit it to tne Gov ernor of the State, the officer with whom I am required to communicate, and to assure him that in any meas ures that be taken by the civil authorities iu the investigation of the all air and the punishment of derelict civil officers or citizens, in case he met witu. resistance, and he or they found themselves unable to execute the laws, was prepared, on being so informed, to aid and co-operate with him to the fullest extent of tne force under my command. My letter to the Governor, the report and accom pan vine documents of Captain Mills, are nerewith forwarded by tne hands of Captain Meiviffen, V.

Spaids' bid was and he gave bonds to faithfully per- form the contract. The Postomce Department, several days ago, learned that Spaids 1 had disappeareaana thrown up his contract.

The Department, it is said, has called on Wells, Fargo Co. to do the work. many unpleasant stories are in circulation sr in regard to this transaction. ie.l veil known here that the waytbei Government Is swindled on contracts is to have a number of irresponsible bidders who underbid and give worth- 1 less bonds, then' throwing up their contracts, when they are swaraeq to another member of the rlnc, who has put in a higher bid.

Mr. McNutt's prorata bill ought not to be objected to by the railroad companies as it leaves' them free to establish such rates as will pay them for transporting the produce of the country, and restrains them only from making unjust discriminations against the commercial interests of our own State.
