party, for the sake of preventing few thou
sand oolored citizens at the North from voting,
q6ord to lose the entire oolored vote Of the
South 2 This is a question in political dyna-
mics which we commend to the careful CON
sideratien of our Democratic brethren.
The position of the Republican party is
taken. Its the great party of freedom and of
equal rights. Both principle and policy urge
it forward in the path of enfranohisement. It
cannot go back upon its record if it would; it
would not if it could. It may lose some votes
among the ignorant and the preiudiced by its
advanced position, but for every vote it thus
loses it will gain two from the progressive and
liberal minded, and will attract to itself a solid
phalanx of enthusiastic supporters from the
enfranohized citizens of the South.

therefore, have appropriation for general sanitary

their memories refreshed. The evidence
against the condemned is, although only cir
oumstantial, as conclusive as could be desired.
There can be no question of his guilt and
being guilty, It is meet that an example be
made to warn future evil-doers We have
little sympathy with those who oppose capital
punishment. II is not on the ground of retri-
button that we would have the Biblical injunc-
ton that "whosoever sheddeth mans blood
by man shall his blood be She'd" carried into
effect. It is to prevent evil in the future. A
being so depraved as to deliberately take one
life would take another, and only as a means
of safety we would have him removed from
the world. Besides, his example deters others,
and both justice is satisfied and public secu
rity preserved by rigid adherence to the law.
Having once determined the criminal, let JUS
tice promptly succeed his crime.
We republish on our first page the admra-
ble speech of the Hon. William B. Mann, on
the occasion Of the trial. For clear reasoning
and able logic it has very few superiors.

THE CHESS CoNTEsT.-During the past week
the tagging interest in the game of Chess has
been stirred Into active life by the match be-
tween Messrs. Mckenzie, of New York, and
Reichelm, of this city, for the cham pionship OF
the United States. The contest may be con-
sideTed as between New York and Philadelphia,
as Captain Mckenzie is by far the best player
OF the metropolis, and Mr. Reichelm could in
all probability, give pawn and more to any
amateur of our city. We regret to state that
the Empire City was the victor. The Philadel-
phian was out of practice, while the New
Yorker was in splendid play Mr.. Stanley, OF
New York, was present throughout the entire
match, and aided his friend by his oountenance
and support.

OUR reports are meager, but from
them, such as they are, we gather that
the State has gone largely for Conven-
ton. A large majority of the delegates
are directly in favor OF reconstruction
upon the Congressional plan. Our con.
clusion is that the State will be recon-
structed (?) or at least a constitution
framed which if the people ratify, will be
acceptable to Congress, and bring the
State into the Union. Whether or not
our condition as a people will be bet
tered by this state of things, remains to
