PAUs1Nd TO THlNK.-The Philadelphia
Press, in an elaborate editorial, headed
Words of. Candor and Counsel for tho
Union Party" very significantly says:
The Union party cannot be national
party if it makes negro suffrage q test.
Belonging, as that subject does,s to the
States, it must be left to the States. To
attempt to force it on the Southis simply
to embitter the South, and to endanger
the Union party in the North; for it must
not be forgotten that until the rebellion
broke upon ts, in not a single free State,
.not'even in Massachusetts, were the few
colored men allowed the unqualified right
to vote. Nor can you build national
party by making the confscation of rebel
estates on Tie plan Of Mr.. Stevens an issue
or q conditions Confscation is. confess
scdy war. measure, and yet as-it was
only partially enforced in time of war,
bow do you psopose to execute it in time
of peace? Nor can you stand before your
own people on the idea Of keeping the late
insurgent States out OF the Union, when
they ask re-adrhission, accepting and
adopting all the changes produced by the
legislation of Congress-and the abolition
of slavery You may keep the individual
traitors out forever if you have the nu-
merical power but you, will be defeated
in nearly every free election district on
the question of. excluding the late rebel
States with. their purified Constitutions.

The Wirz Trisl

WASHINGTON, September 23.-Proceed-
ings were renewed in this celebrated case
today. The. prisoner reclined onhis sofa,
unable to sit up. Lieut.. Dyer of the
Twelfth United States Colored Troops,
testified to the general bad treatment of
prisoners at Andersonville; and the whip
ping of colored troops. He had never
been ill-treated by Wirz. The hospita
register letter book and other papers were
admitted as evidence. The Judge; Advo.
cate signifed a.wish to. close the case for
tho Government, reserving the right to
examine witnesses as to new matters, and
to offer record evidence to connect the
Richmond authorities, including Jefferson
Davis and General Lee, with the Ander-
sonviJlc prison. Mr.. Baker, fol. .Wirz, OBJ
jected to accumulative evidence, and.said
that he did not wish to g go it blind"
Colonel Chipman replied that Mr. Baker
only appeared for Wirz, z,rand had no right
to follow the Government in pursuit. of
other parties. The Government then in
formally closed the case. Mr.. Bakerasked
for time, in order to recuperate counsel
and prisoner, and to sift the evidence,
under the belief that Wiz could prove a
full and complete defence. Colonel Chip.

Gated man, of rare social qualities, and
very highly esteemed by his hosts of

held high positions on the public works
of New York, and under the Federal
Government Prior to the outbreak of
the war, he was in Government employ
at Galena and Dubuque, experimenting

European Sympathy.

There ca be no mistake that our
Government and people have the sym
patty Of Europeans at last The base
assassination Of our honored and loved
President has drawn all hearts to Us,
throughout Europe, and words Of sympa-
thy aud coincidence greet as from every
quarter. Intense horror and indiena-
ton were manifested by all classes on
the reception of the astonishing news
from America, and throughout England
public meetings were called to give ex-
preston to the feelings of the people
In France, too, the most intense excite
ment prevailed, and the rebel agents felt
the necessity Of making haste to dis
avow all knowledge of or sympathy with
the dastardly act, and to disayow for the
Southern Confederaoy, all responsibility
for the murder of our President. These
individuals will, doubtless, realize that
their defense Of the rebel authorities was
premature, when they read President
Johnson's Proclamation for the arrest Of
jeff Davis, and other leading rebels, oe-
cause of their participation in the MUIR
derous enterprise. 1l
1t was MIR. Lincoln's good fortune to
impress all classes and nations with the
idea that his honesty was above suspi-
cion, while his natural simplicity and !
kindness Of heart won the love of all.
That man whose only failing was kind
ness of heart should be brutally mur-
dered in the very hour in which he was
meditating schemes of mercy for the de-
luded people Of the Southern States APP
pears so horrible that words are made
quate to portray the crime in all its
magnitude and atroeity.
The expressions of sympathy from
England and France at our great mis-
fortune must have tendency to soften
the bitterness Of feeling between. our
people and those Governments, growing
out of the great struggle through which
we have passed. Even enemies cease to
be such while weeping over the bier of
mutual friend
The English people regarded Mr..
Lincoln as their friend. Even in
Liverpool, the headquarters of rebel
agents and sympathizers, the manifesto
tions of grief, on the reception of |
the news of his assassination, were
as solemn and affecting as any
witnessed in this country. More so, per.
haps, when the different circumstances
surrounding the two peoples are taken
into consideration.
The great Peace Maker of Judea pro- \
nounced blessings upon all peace makers
in all ages Of the world, and it would /
seem that the choicest Of those blessings /
must rest upon Mr.. Lincoln. In life, his
great aim was to harmonic warring
factions, and reconcile jarring interests.
In death, his blood seems to strengthen |
the chords of brotherly love and strong /
ly knit together hearts that have long
been alienated Cut off in the midst of |
his usefulness, his example will never
die, but, perhaps, even more than the
memory Of Washington, will inspire the
hearts of the poor through all time.

DECLINE IN Coal AND BEEF F-The
withdrawal of the Government from the
market as consumer is having a ten.
dency to bring down prices OF different
articles materially. In New York the
purchases of coal have been reduced
from ten thousand tons day to nine
thousand tons week CorrespondingTy
reduced purchases have been made in
the West The effect has been to great
ly unsettle the coal market and reduce
prices
The beef market is also beginning to
feel the effects Of the withdrawal of Gov
ernment patronage.
i The Boston Journal Of Friday last
says
1t will be seen by the reports of the
cattle markets the present week that the
decline in prices has at last reached the
beef market and there is a prospect that
we shall soon be able to get good steak
without paying forty-fye or ffty cents a
pound for it. Both at Cambridge and
Brighton there were a large number of
cattle left over this week Cattle for
which seventeen cents pound was
confidently expected we're sold at four
teen, and butchers bought very shy even
at this decline The reduction of the
army will take the Government out of
the market as a purchaser, and lower
prices still may be expected. -
