A Washington correspondent writes that
Father BoSle Of the Roman Catholic Church
visits the prisoni Wirz frequently since the
adjou nment Of the commission, as he did
before. WIZ pays considerable attention TO
his spiritual fairs, out Of respect to the
teachings Of the reverend gentleman. Mrs.
WIZ went back to Georgia more than two
weeks ago. Since the prisoner has received
une letter from " he governess," as he ex-
presses it, which afforded him very little sa-
lisfacron, There Is not much sympathy be-
tween the prisoner and his wife, and there is
Iit1le probab lily that she will exert herself
to see him again. In Conversation Wirz Gays
he expects TO be punished with death, but
does not ackno Wedge he justice Of hanging
HIN while no steps are being AIKEN to bring
his superors, from whom he received his or
ders, to the halter. Wirz is in fair health
and spirits, talks quite freely to those who
are permitted to visit him, and spends his
leisure hours in the perusal Of German novels
aud religious works. He is the recipient Of
many letters from discharged soldiers at the
orth who we're formerly in his custody at
Andersonvile One Of these lately received
contained quantity of bogus money, with
toe sarcastic advice that Wirz should use it
to buy himself privileges beyond the prison
limits.

II interfered with the vote in the rebel
States, to dictate that the negro shall vote,
might do the same thing for my own purposes
IN Pennsylvania. Our own safety lies 10 al
lowing each State to control the right u vo,-
ing by its own laws and we have the power
TO control the rebel States If they 20 wrong.
IL they rebel, we have the army, and can con-
troll them by it, and, If necessary, by legisla-
ton also. II the general Government con
trolls the right to vote in the States, IL may
establish such rules as will restrict the vote
to small number Of persons, and thus create
central despotism.

/ There wac a time in the Southern States
when the slaves Of large owners looked
down upon non slave-owners because they
did not own slaves the larger the number
Of slaves their master owned the prouder they
were, and this has produced hostility between
the mass of the whites and negroes Tbs
ou,rages are mostly from non-slavtholdiug
whites against the negro, and from the negro
upon the Notwithstanding whites.
The tegro will vote with the late master
whom he does not hate. rather than with the
Notwithstanding white, whom he does hate.
Uuivetsal suffrage would create another war
