sore experience to qualified assent to Thomas

from the polls all sober-minded people, ana
would "proye curse rather than blessing.

Gold closed at P. NJ. yesterday at 1904. The
premium, therefore, is just one-siIh of what 1t
was in the darkest days financially OF our great
War. In other words, we have already ;ray'
ersed fre-sirths of the way from our worst estate
back to perfect solvency.
Are we such towards that we shall now
shrink back into hopeless insolvency, when it
is but little way forward to Resumption
Who has suffered unjustly by the progress we
have madel What department of useful in
dustry has been crippled What laudable
business has been paralyzed' What laborer
has been deprived Of work and bread' What
valuable product has been so reduced in price
that it can no longer be produced without loss J
Wherein has the Currency been unduly, per-
niciously oontractedl Speak out
Give the Secretary ample power to fund his
demand and short.time obligations, and we can
move right on TO Specie Payments And then
every greenback and bank note will be worth
its face in gold, and gold. gambling will be one
of the lost arts. And then our Two Hundred
Millions and over Of Specie will be Currency;
whereas, it now is not. Nobody will hoard
gold for duties or for speculation, because there
will be no motive to do so. Our banks must
keep a tight rein on Importation, so as not to be
drained of their coin TO pay balances against us
in Europe.
Courage, friends there is land ahead!

The Blaine-C onkling constitutional Amend
ment, proposing that no State shall hereafter
be allowed to count as basis Of polltical
mower in the Union, any portion of her people
whom she sees fit to disfranchise because OF
Race or Color, having already passed the
House by more than the requisite majority
was Yesterday brought to vote in the senate
and defeated: Yeas 25 Gall UnioniStS but Mr..
McDougall of California;: Nays %: Messrs.
Brown and Henderson of Missouri, J. II. Lane
and Pomeroy of Kansas, Van Wrinkle ana
Wiley of West Virginia, and Yates of Illinois,
following Mr.. Sumner in helping the Copper
heads and Messrs. Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle,
Norton. and Stewart in defeating this most
righteous and salutary proposition. Gov. Nor
gan. we rejoice TO say, voted on the right side.
Judging from all that appears, the earnest
Radicals could not have carried this proposition
THE votes of Mcssrs. Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle,
Norton and Stewart, added to those Of tho pro.
Slavery Democrats O., and the two West Vir-
ginans, making 16, leaving but 81 others
present-not two-thirds.
The proposition being killed, it was revived
by a motion to reconsider, to enable MIR. Doc
little TO offer a substitute basing political power
on the number of Legal Voters in the States re-
spectively. And then the subject was post
poned to next Thursday.
And now we entreat every earnest adyo-
cate of Equal Rights to give hearty support to
Mr.. Doolittle's proposition. True, it is not what
they and we desire; but it is means TO the end;
and, as such, should be welcomed and i'm
proved. We shall never establish the great
principle of No Taxation without Representa-
tion-for which even our adversaries are obliged
to profess a hypocritical regard-uncss we con-
sent to make the most Of whatever tends in the
right direction. If We insist with Mr.. Sumner
I in having everything done exactiy as we couiu
wish or not at all, we shall be defeated and pros
trated. The great Athenian lawgiyer, when
asked ifhis laws were the best, answered they
were the best that the, people would bear
Jesus Christ afirms the same in substance Of
the Law of Divorce given to the Hebrews by
Moses. Mr.. Sumner is, unhappily, wiser in his
own conceit, and less practical: so that we shall
probably be prevented from achieving any re-
suit whatever; but it is our duty to keep trying
so long as a shadow Of hope remains. Let us
carry, if possible, Mr.. Doolittle's proposition;
it is good deal better than nothing, and may
open the way to further progress.

1t is thought the perpetrator of the Joyce
murders, at Roxbury, near Boston, Mass, last
June-one Of the most horrible and mysterious
on record-has been discovered. The Boston
papers of yesterday arc filled with minute ac-
counts Of the detection. The alleged criminal
is one Chas. A. Dodge, alias " Scratch-Gravel, "
lately soldier in the Rebel armies, and it is
believed that to elude pursuit. he committed
burglary after the murder, allowed himself
to be discovered in committing the lesser
crime, was arrested, tried, and sent to the
State Prison. Careless expressions Of his while
there led to the suspicion that he knew of the
Roxbury murder. A detective was introduced
into the prison, put in the same ward with
Scratch-Gravel," wormed himself into the
confidence of his comrade by simulated plan
Of escape, and finally extracted from him a
doubtful confessional confession that might
excite, but can scarcely confirm, suspicion and
that certainly would not of itself 30 a legal

THE UNION PARTY OF THE NEW.
YORK LEGIsLATURE.

Mr.. Tremain, on Thursday night, withdrew
the resolutions moved by him on the reconstruc-
ton policy, in order to substitute for them
those which had been reported in the
Senate by Mr.. Foger, of the Select
Committee on National Affairs. Mr.. Tre-
mains resolutions were all unqualified approval
of the sentiments of the Union majority of Con-
gress, while those offered by Mr.. Folger were
somewhat toned down for the purpose of pre-
serving, if possible the unity of the Union party
in this State unbroken. The Senate resolutions
declare:
THAT only loval representatives Of unquestionably
loyal States should be admitted 10 Congress aud that
each House Of Congress Is the sole judge Of the Quaf
cation and election Of its members that the nation Is
pledged TO protect the liberty and civil rights OF the
freedmen tbdr equal suffrage should BE- attended in The
Disniet6r Columbia 10 all male eitissns'
These resolutions were, on Thursday night,
adopted in the Assembly by vote of 70 to 90
strict party vote, every Republican voting
for and every Democrat voting against them
The Albany Erening Journal in commenting
upon the result, says:
"They Gthe resolutio>fl may therefore be regarded
authorized expositon Of sentiment by the Union
party upon the grave questions at issue The platform
Is upon which no oy al man hesitate 10 stand
which will secure the unhesatng support OF all who
hold the welfare Of the country above party
The Journal, wo suppose, has satisfactory
information that platform upon which no
loyal man can hesitate to stand, and which will
secure the unhestating support of all who hold
the welfare of the country above party" will
also find "the unhesitating support" Of the
Government.
But, in case the Government gives the Union
platform an unhesitating support what will
the Democracy have to say of the President !
