THE RESULT OF THE ELECTION The re-
suit Of the election in this State for delegates to
the constitutional convention establishes beyond
all cavi the. fac: that the great heart of our peo
pie is right. Everywhere the best available
men were put forward, aud although in nearly
every county opposition Was made, the best men
were elected. Thus we have the best material
the State affords in the convention, where it
should be- Such men as Moore, Wright, Man
ly, Dick, Howard, and others-names we'll
known throughout this State as repres entatives
of great ability, uprightness and adaptedness to
Legislative duties-with all of whom it may be
we dc not fully agree in all points Of political
economy-but nevertheless men representing
the intelligence and general sentiment of the
people. The Convention, so constituted, will
certainly be an able aud august body, abun
dainty competent for the responsible duties de-
volving upon it, and that will reflect credit up
on the commonwealth and impress the general
government vita the sincerity of our purpose to
resume our old position in the Union VII

THE WITHDRAWAL OF WIRz's COUNSEL.
Hon. James Hughes, the former counsel for
Captain Wirz, is out in long letter to the In
dianapolis journal, giving his reasons for his
deserton of the Andersonville jalor. He says:
IL did not withdraw from the defence on ac-
count of opinions as to the legality Of military
commissions, or their expedency at this time
l withdrew because | believed that the prisoner
! could not obtain fair trial, and could not
secure it for him. b mean to say that if all
technical rules Of law were thrown aside, CAP.
tain Wirz could not, in my opinion, receive be-
fore military commission, subject to orders
from the office of the Judge Advocate General,

The ourRAaEs IN RAsDoLPH.-A friend writing
US from Randolph County, says:
"If you wish any evidences Of the hanging and
torturing of men and women in this and other
Counties, by militia and home guard officers let me
know, and will furnish the proofs of the most
cruel and savage ourages ever pcrpetrated ip this
or any other country"
We are obliged to our friend for the suggestion,
and hope he will send US the proofs. Randolph
County has been especially scoursed, because her
people gave large majority at the last election for
the true Conservative candidates. 1t is high
crime in this country for poor man or soldier to
vote as he pleases. Hundreds of detailed men and
hundreds of soldiers were sent to the front to be
slaughtered because they voted last August against
Gov. Vance and tie Destructive candidates This
was nothing more less than murder for opinions
sake The wrath Of the people will yet burn sitter
and consume the authors of these outrages. jus
tics may tarry long but it will come ut last with
sharp sword and an unalterable purpose.

FOREIGN INTERVENTION. is now stated that
the London Times says that "none Of the Euro
pean powers would guarantee the Independence of
the Confederacy, as proposed, even with the abol
ton of slavery" This explodes the idea that Mr..
Lincoln had offered to treat with the South from the
apprehension that England and France would recog.
nize the Confederacy, and then intervene in our
affairs. There is no ground for hoping for foreign
