The Times urges the AlabaEss Convention to-
submit their work to the people of the State
for ratification, and remarks concerning the
Mississippi Convention that it omitted to refer
the new Constitution from an anxiety to swo
what is considered needless delay and trouble.
1t is assumed that such submission to the people
could possibly have but one result and there.

contrary happens to be the fact. Acorespond-
ent of Western paper, who is not merely wtN.
informed but evidently is favored with 10
confidence of the State authorities, wrote some
time ago concerning ProvisionalGovernOr
Sharkey: "Like the majority of the late Con.
vention, he is far in advance Of the people in
matters pertaining to their welfare. So far,
indeed, is he in advance OF the masses that he
said he would have dispersed the Convention
with negro troops, if they had passed the reso-
luton to refer the Constitutional Amendment
to the people for approval or rejection" That
does not sound much like ''mere fOrmality."

estimated the temper of his State, the amend.
ment abolishing Slavery would have been re-
jected, but that is no reason why it should not
have been submitted. What is the use o.
Convention that does not represent anybody
The President certainly does not desire Missis'
sippi or any other State to come back under
false pretenses. He is entitled, and the country
is entitled, to know the facts We don't want
sham Reconstruction, based on the action OF
such Convention as the State would take the
first opportunity TO repudiate. If there is to be

There is prospect, at last, of cheaper coal,
fact of vital moment to almost everybody. and
especially to the poor. There has been, we are
assured by those who ought to know, no con-
spiraey, SO far as dealers and transportation
companies are concerned, to enhance the price
of this essential article of life, but that an absO
lutte scarcity exists, caused solely by the strike
among the miners and operatives on canal and
railroad companies. These people have refused
to work for three months past. though tho
wages paid to the miners are probably higher
than those earned by any unskiled labor in the
country. The strikers in the Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company and tho Pennsylvania
Coal Company, however, have come to their
senses and gone to work, so that there will be
no advance Oh the present price OF coal, and the
probability is that it will be lower.

CONNECTICUT.

The election in Connecticut is purely one of
principle, SO far as the Negro Suffrage question
is concerned. The negro element in Connect
cut is so small that whether it falls one way or
another, it makes little difference. The negro
community is very smaii-being scarcely ONE
seventh so large as the natives Of Ireland-not
much larger, indeed, than the Engshmen or
the Germans. SO that il the mere question Of
political expcdiency were concerned, this ques-
ton might be allowed to 60 by default.
The principle Of justice is not always one of
expedency. Divine authority expresses the
love that two or three who meet in his name
excite. Ten good men would have saved the
Cities Of the Plain. If there are ten men in
Connecticut who, by reason Of any omission, or
the commission of injustice in the laws, are
prevented from enjoying their rights, the honor
of every son of that State demands that the
laws be reformed. In the case of the negro,
Connecticut is the only New-England State that
debars him from the ballot-box. The Demo
cratic element has been very strong in that
State, and when the question Of Universal
Suffrage was formerly discussed the Democrats
stood in the way Of justice. What was then a
mere State question has now become national
The friends of freedom have been reproached
with the remark that, while we were endeay-
oring to reform the Carolinas and Georgia, we
did not reform our own New-England. The
time has come for this reproach to cease, and
we call upon our friends in that State to aid in
the publication.
Our enemies are not needless. AS We said
recently, if the friends Of manhood suffrage
expect to walk over the course they are mis-
taken. Our enemies know that victory in
Connecticut would be great advantage 70 us,
but that q defeat would be Of infinite value
to them. Defeat us in Connecticut, and this
question will be postponed perhaps foryears. The
unity and harmony. the single-hearted devotion
to truth and justice that have always character
lied the New. England character, would be
destroyed. We want New.England to be as
one man now; for the time is coming when we
shall need her manly strength.

TIKI NEW.JERsEY CANVASS.

The long lhlt of meetings and of eminent speak
ers advertised in New jersey is sign OF tho en-
ergy and enthuaiasm infused into the canvass py
the Unionists of tGat State. Gen Kilpatrlcks en-
gagements cover almost every day from now tiii
the latter part Of October Wherever ne goes
the enemy's lines break. Gen. John j.. swift ol
Louisiana, COL Hawkins of Tennessee, MAJOR
Pangborn of New Jersey. Capt. George +. Noyes
of this city. and many other well-known speak
crs, are stumpng the State systematically. Inc
distribution of names is excellent, and the
Union Committee deserve great praise tor inc
thorough style in which they are covering the
ground. Exactly what NcwJcrsey wants Is
chance to hear the truth. She has got accus-
toned to voting the sham Democratic ticket;
once break the spell and the State VIII DO all
right in future. Tho best way TO break
il is to repeat the Union charm IN
tho ears of the sleepcrs. The gallant old
State sent too many OF her sons TO the
war To be willing TO see the cause for which
they fought betrayed after it is won. Every
soldier and every soldiers friend will feel that
the Goyernmen, ought to be in the came hands
which carried it safely through the Rebellion,
and that the State Governments ought to stand
by the National. Ncw.Jersey never won the
full fame her patriotism deserved because she
was cursed with a Copperhead Governor, who
didn't believe in the war any more than the
Copperhead candidate to-day believes IN IT.
The Democrats have nominated Runyon be-
cause he il or was q militia brigadicr-as II the
empty title were enough 10 win the respect OF
the men who had seen four years of hard hght'
ing. hero on the parade ground Is not always
a hero to the boys who have heard the bullets
whistle. And as Gen" RunyOn'S title Is 80
precious TO him and his party. the men who
carried the mushets down South have con-
cludcd they will let him keep it, instead oi ex'
changing it for that Of Governor.
Other names onnounccd but for which ap-
pointmcnts have not yet been made, are those
of Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania, Gov. Ran
dali, Maior-Gcn. Rousseau of Kentucky, Major
Gen. Logan of Illinois, who last Summer made
himself reputation in NewYork as an orator;
Gen. Van Wych, Gen. Kinks Of Massachusetts,
Gov. Yates Of Illinois, and many another brave
officer and true friend Of the Union. They will
all heartily support Marcus L. Ward Tor Gov
ernor. as a man whose services at home were
scarcely less than their own in the field, and
who worthily represents the principles OF the
Union party--principles on which this Govern

We are assured on excellent authority that
Mr.. g. f. Moore of North Carolina. Of whom
we spoke yesterday as 'an undsguised Rebel
while the war lasted" was, on the contrary, a
thorough Union man during that period, pre-
ferring 70 give up Il lucrative practice as law
yer, and to live life of retirement rather than
take the cath Of allegiance TO the Rebel Govern
ment. We are glad to correct statement INTO
which We were misled by North Carolina pa
per. Such having been Mr.. Moore's course
during the war, his opinion, that their nights
should be gwen to the emancipated slaves, and
that the withholding them may lead to serious
trouble with that portion Of the popula-
ton. IS entitled to all the more
weight. We know that many OF our
best military officers on duty at the South have
come to the same conclusion, and believe, more
over, that the military protection of the negro
cannot be safely withdrawn until the whites
are made to respect them as a people endowed
with poitical rights. qualified to seek protec
ton in the courts, and with the power to pro
tect themselves By an appeal to the ballot
box 1t is quite possible that there is pon
at which even black men may believe that for

: Is it wise to cherish and be subseryient TO an
unreasonable prejudice, born Of Slavery, and
deny the rights Of citizenship to a people whom
we pretend to have raised from the condition Of
slaves TO that Of freemen! The attempt to
perpetrate such folly and wickedness will, in
the long run, bring with it its own punishment.
We have not begun TO learn the lesson the war
teaches if we are not yet convinced that events
are iueyorable, and that the law of progress can
not be put away backward.

Mayor Gunther has made reply to the charges
broaght against him in the matter Of tho Street
Cleaning Contract, which reply will be found in
another column. He denies generally and
specifically these charges. But he takes refuge
behind the Corporation Counsel Oh all qrleS-
tionS OF law, shoGld anything illegal be
found in the Contract, and puts in the
plea that he first voted in favor OF
taking the lowest bid that could properly be
taken, and only signed the contract in question
because if he did not the work Of strect-cleanng
would necessarily be done by the City Inspector
or the Board of Health. His real defense
amounts To this-that he made a choice OF eviis.
In admitting this he admits also, it seems to U.S.
that the issue is properly raised whether the
Chief Magistrate Of the City has night to com
nit an acknowledged wrong, lest some otheT
possible evil should follow.

Saturday last there was a collision in Long
Island Sound between the Sloop Joseph Duryca
aud the screw steamer Oceanus, resulting in
the death Of three passengers on the sloop. An
inquest on their bodies was held in this city by
Coroner Collin, and the jury found a verdict
that the collision was unavoidable, or that the
sloop was to blame for not showing her light.
II appears that this verdict was rendered on
eu parte testimony. The officers and hands on
the steamer were examined those on the slOop
were not. Tho latter would have testified that
the sloop lights were regularly set and burning
at the time, and that her captain hailed tho
steamer in time to allow her to change her
course; but she stood on, and hence the COL
lsion. We suggest to Mr.. Coroner Collin that
hs should make another inquest A o0ronerS
