TO Genuine conservatives.

From me ~ Y Tribune
-Four millions Of our countrymen, lately
slaves, are now free--that is a positive fact.
You may dislike it, loathe it, execrate it-but
you none the less know it TO be fact.
Congress- in reoonstructing the States lately
in revolt has determined that these blacks,
unless they have voluntarily aided the Rebel
lion, shall vote, and they are voting. This is
another important fact. Hate il as you may,
you still know it to be a fact.
This Congress remains in power for nearly
two years longer, and the Republican majority
| IN the Senate cannot be subyerted within the
next four years. Though every election should
| 90 against US meantime, the Senate will re-
| main Republican. But IL is perfectly certain
that the majority will be strongly reinforced
from the soon-to-be reconstructed States.
And right well do you know that this majority
will not vote 70 destroy itself by disfranchising
| the Southern blacks.
What, then, do you mean by Conservatism 2
DO YOU mean 10 keep this whole country in
turmoil and contention throughout the next
four years, in the desperate hope that you
may thereafter be able to disfranohise the four
millions of Southern blacks, and put them
under the feet of their late Rebel masters
If that is your game, what sort Of crops, OF
trade, OF payments, can you expect from the
! south meantime What hope can you cheri sh

The Movement In Italy. and the Position
of Victor I'm anusl.


From the ~. y. Herald
The movement in Italy for the liberation of
Rome and the union of the Papal territory
with the kingdom advances with such rapid
strides, that the ink which records one striking
event is hardly dry before news of others is
flashed through the Atlantic cable. The last
received is highly interesting in several points
of view. General Garibaldi was marching on
Rome, and was in sight of the city. The
amount of his force is not stated, but it was
divided into two columns, and the Papal
troops were Tetreating before the victorious
insurgents. The whole of Italy seems to be
in state of fermentation. The ardor and de-
termination of the Italian patriots appear ire
sistible, so that if the fate of Rome were to
rest ON the Italians alone, there would be little
doubt of the result. But we learn at the same
time that the French fleet had sailed from
Toulon for Civita Vecchia. The mission of
this fleet, doubtless, is to interfere in the
affairs of Italy, to defend the temporal power
of the Pope, and to make war on the Carl
baldians. 1t remains to be seen how far the
Italian patriots may be able to resist the for
midabe intervention of France. That power
thrown into the scale on the side of the Pope
makes the contest very doubtful at present.
The news OF approaching events, therefore,
will be anxiously looked for throughout the
civilized world, and particularly in the United
States. ....
But what position does Victor Emanuel
occupy at this critical timer Evidently he is

Furnishing VoTERs.-The Chicago Tribune,
commenting on the statement that the Tennes-
seeans are discharging from their employ the
negroes who voted the Republican ticket, says:
$50 far from driving the negroes from the
Republicans, this vindictve policy will make
them all the stronger in their attachment to that
party and its principles. 1t will convince them
of the utter falsity of the professions of friend
ship and kindness for the black man with which
the Rebels were so profuse prior to the election,
and inevitably confirm them in the wise choice
they made when they determined to support the
party that had enfranchised them. 1t will make
the negro an enemy where he was before a
friend, and like everything that is done in
wickedness and malice, will rebound on the

The Case of George w. winnemOre.

The Case of George w. WinnemOre.
On our eighth page to-day will be found a
verbatim report Of conversation which was
held yesterday afternoon with George w.
Winnemore, the unfortunate man who is now
patiently awaiting his execution for the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Dorcas Magilton, a few months
since. Our account of this interview will GER
tainly be read with interest, not only by those
who have morbid curiosity concerning the
words and acts of men who are notorious for
their crimes, but as well by those who make
the vagaries of humanity a special study.
The singular religious belief of the prisoner
would be remarkable under any oircum-
stances, and situated as he is, it is invested
with melancholy and peculiar interest. 1t
is doubtful if any one can rise from its perusal
without entertaining strong doubts of the
sanity of the man. There are few or none
among those who have carefully read the testi-
mony elected at his trial who will pretend to
doubt that Mrs. Magilton met her death at his
hands. His counsel, it is true, have main
tanned his innocence from first to last; but it
should be understood that it is only in his
While no one will maintain his innocence Of the
killing of Mrs. Magilton, they and many others
believe that, if the blood of Mrs. Magilton is
upon his hands, the act was committed by
him while laboring under one of those
remarkable fits of mental wandering and pas
sionate fury which he himself has so vividly
described. Winnemore himself is firm and
persistent in the declaration of his entire inno-
cence; and we do not doubt that he is sincere
in his belief, and that he has never had the
faintest recollection of fhaving done injury to a
single human creature. 1t matters not, how
ever, what we or any others believe; for a
jury of his peers have declared his guilt, and
the extreme penalty of the law will undoubt-
edly be visited upon him at the appointed
time.

Yhe Stanton johnson ImbrOglIO
OMrLOMs Plot Agninat GaneEaI GEAnt.

There is story told here in connection with
the demonstration imbroglio which ought to
be mentioned, though by no means voucb for
its truth. 1t is said that prominent Republi.
can official here, In the interest of the radical
element, and of course opposed to General
Grant, waited upon the President not long ago,
and had an interesting conversation relative 70
the Presidential succession. 1t is alleged that
the radical politician then and there revealed a
plan for the destruction of General Grants
chances for the nomination, and proposed to
the President to join in the plot. The hints
thrown out that Grant will be called to the
War Office in case of Stanton's removal are
supposed to be part Of the plot, Should
Grant accept, 1t is hoped that he will thus be
committed to the Johnsonian policy, and that
the public confidence in him will fade away.
Whether this story be true or not, it is certain
that the Wade Phillips extremists are despe::
rate. seeing that the conservative strength Of
the Republican party and the better branch OF
the Democracy are certain according to the
present aspect of affairs, to be, in favor 9f
Grants nomination. II would not be wonderful,
therefore, should this story be verified, for the
radicals are ready to Jump at the most desperate
chance of destroying Grants popular1ty.-N' l.
