The Suffrage Question.


From time immemorial the democl attic
party has been troubled with niger on
the brain They have always appeared
to fear that the negro mi ght possess some
rights which they were bound to respect.
and 1t is not at al surprising that they
propose to make a hobby this fall of the
question of negro suffrage. to be decided
at the ballO. box We are, however, a
little surprised that some of the Union pa
pers of the State arr making a great ado
over the omission in the platform Of the
party, Of a resolution favoring universal
suffrage. We can see no reason why this
should be made party measure at this
time, any more than it should have been
on former occasions when the question
has been voted upon, and when no person
thought of making it part Of a party
platform, nor can we see the necessity for
Union papers preparing food for the oppo-
sition
The Convention which nominated the
Union ticket was composed of as honest
and intelligent n body of men as ever met
ut the STAGE capitol, and we have no doubt
faithfully represented the wishes of the
people We believe q tar and honest
expression of the majority was against
Incorporating in the platform resolution
favoring universal suffrage, however favor
able to it many might he personally The
insiuuotiona that the resolutions favoring
it were tabled through the influence of
Senator DooLITrLE or any other individual
IS all moonshine We do not believe thar
a single delegate voted differently from
what he would have done if there had
been TO discussion upon the question.
The suffrage question il 4 matter sub
mitted to the people by the law, and we
believe the people have their minds made
up as to how they will vote. There is no
more necessity for making that a party
measure than a thousand other questions
that might be as properly acted upon by
a political body. Those who favor it will
vote for it, ana we are Of that number. but
those opposed to it would not do so if in

TIE PLATFORM.
The Resolutions of the Convention, as
read by Brick Pomeroy and unanimously
adopted by the Convention, we viii try
aud make room for next week.
The first resolution is vote of thanks
TO Almighty God for the fortunate conclu
sion of the war, and we have no doubt
Brick also meant for the killing of Presi-
deht Lincoln. The second indorscs Pres
ident Johnsons policy, and is intended
an Invitation to the President to walk in
TO the democratic parlor. The third
opposes negro suffrage The fourth con-
tradicts the endorsement OF President
Johnson's course hv opposing the suspen-
sion of the writ of habeaS corpus. The
fifth demands economy in State and Ma
tional affairs (until the democracy get in
to power, of course) The sixth reminds
one Of rebel guerillas who disguise them
selves in blue coats and raise the federal
colors when they want to get n gond lick
at the yankees 1t is intended to catch
soldiers votes, but will fail 1t reads
thus: "Resoired, That this Country is
under debt OF gratitude TO our soldiers
for their bravery and devotion to the I'm
ion, and they are deserving pay by deeds
more than words" Whether thew mean
rebel or U.iOn soldiers by the term our
soldiers, might be difficult to determine
The seventh resolution is about the tariff,
but whether it farors or opposes a protect
i've tariff we are unable to determine The
last resolution favors equal, just and uni
form taxation, and we presume is a drive
at Government bonds The Platform as
a whole amounts to but little

zens. Would that subject them to- the
same disabilities as the native born citi-
zen? Or could they fall back on the prior
declaration of intention made by them,
and upon that insist that they are III the
second class as we'll as in the first, and
can therefore never lose the right to
voteI These Inconsistencies can only be
avoided by adopting that construction
which | think best accords with the
reason of the law, and is no violation of
its text.
Under the registry law of 1864. chapter
443, General Laws of 1864. which by
chapter 296, Laws of 1865. is made to
apply to general elections every wear. it is
the duty OF inspectors at the first meeting
to put on the register all persons on the
poll list OF the last general election, ex-
cept those who have since died or reHlov-
ed from the district When they meet
Tuesday before the election TO revise the
list, they are to ''erase thererrom the name

inspectors, to be a nonresident of said

ScHOoI MONEY LoA<s-The Legislature
passed an act last winter authorizing the
Commissioners TO call in all MONEYS due
the State on Swamp, School and other
State lands, and also for money loaned ont
from the School Fund. The law provides
that no lands shall be forfeited before the
18th Of October Many persons have had
fears that their lands would be lost unless
payment was made previous to that date.
We understand by circular from the
Commissioners, that while they are anx-
louS to get in all they can upon those
claims, 1t Is not their intention to press
those claims, but to trust to these debtors
of the State for voluntary compliance
with the law. Persons ab to pay part
Of their Indebtedness can do so and receive
due credit Those who are unable to paw
should 80 inform the Commissioners. and
We have no doubt time will lie given with
out mourning forGeitsre. We shall
speak moFe fully on this sui ject hereafter.

KILLING NO MURDER.

The new principle of law, enunciated
by Mr.. Doster, the counsel for the assas-
sin Payne, is susceptible of many moral
and charming applications. "Mr. Dos
ter does not attempt to deny that his
client had been proved guilty, but palli-
ates his crime by arguing that in his at
tempt to kill Secretary Seward, he was
merely doing what he believed to be
right"
We understand that the counsel for
the wretch arrested the other day in
Massachusetts, for the rape of a young
Gill, and the murder of his victim and
her brother, intends to set up the same
plea in behalf of his client. He will adj
NIT his crime, but claim that he was an
amateur in the science of murder as
considered as one of the Fine Arts, and
believed that in first outraging and then
killing beautiful young girl, he was
only doing what he thought right.

There were thirty-one petitions for

Wednesday. Among them the rebel
Gen. Richard S. Ewell, of Va. I: Gov.
VIM. Aiken, of S. c.. the rebel Secre-
tary of the Treasury, G. A. Trenholm,
of S. C. and Gen. Echols, of Va. To
the granting of the latter's petition
strong opposition interposes from the
neighbors of Gen. Echols. They charge
him with the hanging of five citizens OF
Virginia, for no other reason than that
thew declared themselves in favor OF the
Union. The other petitions came from
persons in humble life and unknown to
the public. One is resident of Ken
lucky, five from Tennessee, one from
North Carolina, thirteen from Virginia,
one from Alabama, two from South
Carolina, three from Georgia, one from
Pennsylvania, one from Maryland ana
one from Louisiana.
