THE QUESTION of the admission of our dele.
gates to Congress has exercised the ingenuity
of many men of late, and widely variant are
the conclusions to which they come. Mr.
FoRNEY, it will have been seen, regards it as
perfectly certain that our Representatives will
not be called by the Clerk of the House; and
tha;t they must stand ID, the cold, therefore,
until their right toe:membership shall be de.
tetmined"by the members composing that
body from the so-called loyal States; and his
grounds for this conclusion ore, that the Clerk
Of the House is instructed by the Act of Con-
,gress upon that subject to call the names of
those s'only whose credentials show that they
were regularly elected in accordance with
the laws of their States, or of the United
States;" and that such Clerk will not under
take to say that such persons as come with
credentials from the States lately in rebellion
are regularly elected in accordance with the
laws of such States, or of the United States.
Others, from the same facts, como to exactly
the opposite conclusion. They say TINT he is
to call such as have credentials to show that
they are regularly elected, and that he will
not undertake to say that such as have such
credentials were not This is certainly nice
point, and admits of very vast latitude of
discussion. Whether that individual to call
the roll will say that those having certificates
of regular election were regularly elected,
or were not regularly elected, and SO call, or
not call, ns his judgment prompts him, is GER
tainly matter about which, admitting doubt
at all, there are vast difficulties in the way Of
solution. Some light might be thrown on
this point by the question: whether he is
vested with any power to look beyond the
certificate ut oil? "
y THE, however, is net conclusive. This is q

tragedy is but a sample.

THE SANE SPIRIr.-A dispatch to Fri
days Tribune says three assassinations of
Union men have occurred in the vicinity
of Alexandria within Sweek past. A dis
patch to Mondays papers says President
johnson has determined not grant any
more pardons to persons who have taken
a prominent part in the rebellion. Dur
ing the week that the President was grant
ing pardons to any and every rebel who
asked it, three Union men were murdered
almost in sight of the White House We
not only hope that traitors who are trail
tors still will not further receive executive
clemency, but that the lives of Union
men, of whatever color, will be protected
by government from the traitorous assas-
sin. While the wicked 90 unpublished
loyal men are not safe even in the nations
capital.

session of their arsenals Without lead
ers, without head, this rabble was pow
erless against even the small force of 800
men that garrisoned the camp. So the
great conspiracy failed; and with it failed
the most gigantic plan of perfdy and muir
der that the mind of man or devil ever
conceived since the world was made.
We have thus given some faint outlines
of the great conspiracy; but the reader
must see the atlantic to get the most thrill
ing part-the details of the plot-the
manner in which it was discovered, and
the history of some rebels who, when
they found out the atrocious plan, came
voluntarily, taking their lives in their
hands, and revealed it to the Union COM
The whole article is as thrill
ing as novel, and yet it is history which
every American should know.

Negro Suffrage.

Our readers will not overlook Il letter
commencing on the first page, addressed
to Senator Collamer The Phnir says
it is written by an intelligent Vcrmonter
who has faithfully served his country dur
ING the war, and for part of the time has
held responsible position in New Orleans.
He strongly urges the Importance and ne
cessity of giving the blacks the right of
suffrage. We think it fully as important
TO retain the friendship of those who have
always been our friends and the friends
of the Union, as to court the favor of
traitors and asSassins.
The following letter from the late Pres
ident, written more than year before his
death, proves to us that at that early day
the great emancipation was favorable to
the enfranchisement of the blacks:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, March 13, 1864.
Hon. MICHAEL HAHN
My DEAR SIR: l congratulate you on
having fixed your name in history as the
first free state governor of louisiana
Now, you are about to have convention
which, among other things, will probably
define the elective franchise. l barely
suggest, for your private consideration,
whether some of the colored people may
not be let in; as, for instance, the very
intelligent, and especially those who have
fought calamity in our ranks. They
would probably help, in some trying time
to come, to keep the jewel of liberty in the
family of freedom. But this is only sug-
gestion, not for the public, but to you
alone. Truly yours,
A. LINCOLN.

CAPITAL PUNIsuAIENT.-Some of the
best papers of New England (such as the
Congregationalst, N. H. Statesman, etc.
are making a very pertinent enquiry as to
whether Gov. Andrew would interpose
between the law and the brute who violat-
ed and then slew the poor girl at Roxbury,
provided the perpetrator of that internal
crime should be arrested and sentenced to
death. just let it be understood that in
Massachusetts, no murderer shall expiate
his crime on the gallows, and crimes will
