| fed form and for a limited time; the idea
being that for time, at first, the discipline
| should be strict, even rigid; but that the con-
| viot, by good conduct, should earn gradual
! aleviation. The term of this confinement to
| separate cells is eight months, but exemplary
| department reduces it to six. The prisoners
eat and work alone; but they attend public
worship twice day, and school for one hour
each day, and take exercise daily, all in
association, though conversation at this
stage is not permitted. The first thing
taught in school is a lesson on the
Irish Convict System" 1t is explained
to the convict that the future is. in a
measure, in his own hands: that in half a
year he may pass to another prison, where he
will labor in company with his fellows: where
he VIII receive payment for extra work, and
fixed gratuity tor steady conduct: where a
system of "marks" which are issued To the
most deserving will gradually raise him. if his
behavior is good, to the Exemplary class. "
whence, after fourteen months service he
may be transferred to what is called the Gin
termediate prison." Here he is at COMPARE
tive liberty, confined by no walls, trusted to
go beyond prison bounds, allowed to work
without an overseer; in short, treated almost
as laborer or mechanic in civil life. One of
these intermediate prisons is a series of work
shops for those who have learned trades: the
other is farm, where the half-ireed convicts
reclaim and till the ground, shattering rocks
laying underdrains, etc.
What has been the resultY That the num-
Der OF Irish convicts of this class has dimin-
ished, in l3 years, from 1887 to 3933-or
nearly in the proportion of 4 to 10. Another
item is equally suggestive. The demand for
oonvicts who by their good conduct have
reached and passed through the intermediate
prison" is beyond the supply many applioa-
tlons on the books remaining untitled En-
ployers actually prefer them as servants and
laborers to the average of those they find in
society.
Is there not, in all this, most valuable mate
rial Tor thought Ought it not to engage the
earnest attention of our legislators, and of
those who elect them Prison discipline is
subject hardly second in importance to that of
public education with which, in truth, it is
intimately connected.

were denied in one instance TO the Negroes
within the past two months. These oiroum-
stances, and many others of the same bind
which might be mentioned, 90 To prove tbat
ne ana property and the equal rights of all
men men before the law are less secure in the
boioer states than in any portion of the couu-
try lately in rebellion. The responsibilitv
resting at present upon the Border States
appears to be greater than ever before For-
merry they shaped the COMPROMISED nolicv
whlch held the States together during the
long anti-slavery agitation. But there is no
longer any need for compromise on that oues-
uon' There are no slave States. and there
should be no Border States.
1t only remains for the latter IN recoonizo
their new position, and to close the war be.
tween North and South by their action upon
the suffrage question. They may, if they
choose, decide whether the Individual States
or the Republic shall hold the ballot-box.
But II they would accomplish this task they
must cease striving to reconcile freedom and
slavery; they must abandon all legislation
based on color; they must recognize the
equality OF all men before the law, and they
must make the intelligence and the virtue of
the citizen the only test of his right to vote.
For, though Congress may well shrink from
legislation affirming the title to interfere with
the franchise in States which have not forfeited
their rights by rebellion, the time is probably
not distant when the object aimed at by the
Convention of to-day will be attained by an
of the Federal Constitution. That
seems necessary to perfect the work of the war.

Senators Wade and Wilson on the
stump.
From The ". Y. Herald.
We have given the speech of Senator Wade
at Cleveland, Ohio, and that of Senator Will
son, delivered at Worcester, Massachusetts.
These speeches are to be accounted for much
as Senator Wade accounted for his presence at
Cleveland. He was there not because he had
something to say, but because he was in the
bill, and was sent by the committee. So we
print the speeches, not because they are bril-
liant, able, eloquent, or originator they are
neither of these-but because they are part of
the political programme, and because there
may be certain amount of instruc-
tion for the people, if not in the ideas
upon which party lives, yet in the very fact
that it is without ideas. We may present
these two pieces of party harangue as salts
factorily showing two things-frst, that the
Republican party, in using up the niger has
used up its whole capital and has not a single
idea to present to the peOple-or none that it
dare present; and, second, upon how small a
capital OF original thought men may be the
great leaders of a great party, and stand 80
high in party appreciation as to be named, not
sneeringly, as Presidential candidates. Mr..
Wade made two points. One of these is that
the national debt is ga mere bagatelle." If
the national debt is ''bagatelle," men may
ask the Senator what it is that makes that
burden of taxes that he some time ago deplored
as weighing so heavily upon the people that
he thought a new division of property
might be necessary to tighten it? Mr..
Wade's other point was that he did not know
whether he was white man or not. And
these two points apparently constitute the
political capitalize new ideas-upon which
the Republican party in the West goes into
the campaign. 1t remains to be seen whether
an chronological doubt and a financial falsty
are good capital for a political campaign. Mr..
Wilson's speech also exhibits his party as
bankrupt in principle and purpose. He ram
bles over its achievements and tries to stir up
the dying embers by rush at Johnson.
That will not do. Johnson is too far gone to
serve as a good cause for any real enthusiasm
in even the youngest political hunters. If
Republicans can give the people no better
reasons than these leaders give for the life of
their party, it must go, and all the States must
join Maine and California; for the existence of
the white man is certainly one grand political
fact and MAIDS aSSartioD

The southern Press on the New Plan Of
Reconstruction.

The Richmond papers do not denounce
the reconstruction proposition agreed
upon by the Administration and the
Southern Governors, but invites its con-
sideration by the people of that State.
The Enquirer says: "0ur situation is
too grave and critical for violent
language or rash counsels. We think
more than ever that no time should be
lost in dispatching Trustworthy persons TO
