Abide your Time.

The National Intelligenceradvises the South
ern members elect to Congress not to press for
their seats until after the organization of the
House. This is good advice, for it would be
worse than useless to make an issue against a
clear majority. After the organization, when
there shall have been time for reflection, itmay
be found expedient as well as just to repeal an
enactment adopted as a war measure, forwhich
there can be no necessity, if the doctrine be
true that the Presidents pardon places the Of
fender on the exact ground he occupied before
the Rebellion. A pardonis of little value if it
does not remove all existing disabilities.

The Eight Hours System.

The mechanics Of Washington turned out on
Weaaesday night, the LIST, to the number Of
5000, in very brilliant torsh light procession.
Their cars and notices were very imposing,
most Of the trades being represented by prac-
teal exhibitions of workmanship. They claim
some time for mentalculture, and therefore pro-
pose to divide the day into three parts--eight
hours for labor, eight for recreation and eight
for sleep. One of their notices, from Gold
smith, was very appropriate: .gl
"Ill fares the land, to Fastening ills prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay"
The movement seems to be general through
out the cities, and win undoubtedly be success
full The working-men of this country have
tic lever desired by Archimedes, and can move
the world.

Wirz hung.

Capt. Henry Wirz, the keeper of the Ander-
sonville prison, was hung at Washington on
Friday last. lie declared his innocence of the
crimes imputed to him, and was disposed to
throw the blame on Gen. Winder, the com
mandant of the prison Wirz, alleged that he
repeatedly wrote to Richmond, complaining of
his inability to treat the prisoners comfortably,
and this was the reason why Winder was sent
to ou;rank him, and he claimed that the atroic-
ties practiced were after Winder's arrival
Winder is dead, and of course beyond the reach
of explanation Or punishment on earth.
