Of drs-without q Judiciary and without
Legislature-capnOt long exist without
anarchy and confusion. We are in state
of paralysis and good government alone, can
galvani2e us into healthy action and give
our energies scope for activity. To give TO
the people of the State full CONTROL OF their
own political affairs, We must use, for the
| time being, the party in power, and how can
we do Il, except by uniting our efforts with
that branch Of that party, which promises
an amelioraiion Of our political condition.
| BY sustaining such men, we may make them
| a successful conservative wing Of their par
ty, by allowing them to dwindle into signih-
ctnce we dtive them back into the Radi-
cal ranks and Conservatism, in that party,
will be ehcctually squelched in Virginia for
some time to come. Wise men will use all
honorable means TO TO effect important pur-
poses aud will avoid all unnecessary effort
which tends to thwart such purposes. The
solid phalanx before us now is irresistible
in lis united strength, bnt the axiom that
kingdom divided against itselfcan not stand
was truth long before it was shaped into
words by the lips of the Divine Master.
We must remember too that by sustain
ing the conservative men of the party in
power, we may assist in placing good men
IN office and keeping bad men, whose elec
ton would be a misfortune and reproech to
any people, out of office.

PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-In the Su-
preme Court this morning another applca-
ton for writ Of error in the case OF Twitch-
ell, condemned to death for the murder of
his mother in-law, Mrs. Hill, last fall, was
presented by Mr.. llubbell, who claimed
that it was made on new assignments OF
error. Judge Thompson SAID the appl;ca.
tion was too late, but that heWould examine
the papers, which consist ..pG pamphle ct
written by Hubbell on the Thhiect aud as
signments Of error, in which lac contends
that the judgment of the court was not by
due course OF law.
The Easton (Pa.) Argts, thus comments
upon the case
While we cannot violate confidence re-
posed in us, or give collateral opinions Of
any particular individual, we are yet free
10 confess that In the opinion OF many Mrs
Twitchell, in the murder, enacted, to the
full extent, the role Of Lady Macbeth.
Twtchell does not shrink from death with
any unnatural shudder. lie claims to have
no more misgivings than any Christian
should have when on the hriuk of an un-
known world. Through peep-bole in the
door Of his cell, be fore he was aware of our
proximity, we saw him sitting upon his pal
let, reading his Bible. There was DO guilt
written upon his features. II he be n dis.
ssmbler, then SItan must be fortifying and
sustaining him. Ttere was nothing in his
quiet anu resigned demesnor to indicate
that blood was upon his soul or remorse in
his heart. Not To one iutimation that his
wife knows more of the murder than him
self will he for an instant listen. With
love "surPa'sing the love of woman"
he's he clung TO his moral enigma-the
daughter OF Mrs. Hill. She docsn'C visit
him and seems Indifferent TO his fate, She
was the candle in which the poor, auttering
moth met sudden ruin. she visits Mr..
B-iDghurst, pastor Of All Saints Episc opal
Church, at long intervals. She did so last
week, and on taking her departure flip

Slbnes threw their shields upon the traitre IS

is treachery. Even those who profit by the

the civil and military authorities of a nation
10 reward indyidu lls in certain cases for
their desertion of duty or betrayal Of a

Peace, Union and Progress.
What is beeded in Virginia to-day is re-

ton to the Union. Commerce is paralyzed.
| Trade, agriculture, everything has the blight
of disorder resting upon it. The remedy
for all these evils is in reconstruction. We

want peace upon the basis OF equality to ell

when you grant that aud recognizes il, Of
every order snd ,0f every variety Of society,

! Virginia will again march on, and again
keep pace with her sister Stetes in improve
ment, in progress, in financial prosperity, in
wealth and responsibility and power.
When the chosen chief Of this country 10
his letter Of acceptance proclaimed that one
single expression, LET us have peace" il

was echoed from every hillside and from
every plain Of the South. The Southern
people, with one acclamation almost, said

Gen. Grrnt, in making use of that express
son, meant what he suid. We believe that
he intends to carry it out in good faith. We
believe that what he said in his inaugural
