THE DOMINION OF CANADA

THE WHALEN CASE.
TORONTO, Jan. 22.-The Whalen case was to-
day before the full Court of Error and APP
peals. The Judges stood four for and six
against granting a new trial. The prisoner s
counsel applied for leave to appeal to the
Privy Counsel of England and after consulta-
Jion the Court decided it had no right or power
to grant the leave. The prisoner was ordered
to be sent back to Ottawa Jail, and SO far as
the Canadian Courts are concerned the law
will take its course. If reprieve is not granted
Whalen will be executed on the eleventh Of

The Reason.

We certainly could not have any OBJ
lection to the election of Col. VIM. B.
Stokes to the Office of Governor be-
cause he happened to be little rebel
lious against the Federal Government
At the commencement of the late war.
We would oppose him rather on, ac-
count of the fact that lie is the repre-
sentative and standard-bearer of the
bitter and extreme element of his party
of the men who desire to perpetuate
the proscriptive, unwise and reckless
policy which brought about most Of the
troubles and embarrassments under
which the State has been suffering for
several years past. For this, if for no
other reason, we would, had we the OPP
portunity, decide the contest between
Col. Stokes and his competitor in favor
of the latter.

Seventh Senatorial District,

The Convention which assembled at
Athens last Saturday closed stormy
session by nominating Milton l.. Phil
lips as the Radical candidate for State
Senator. DR.. Shipley, of Meigs coun-
ty, was the contestant.
On the same day, T. 3. McElwee re-
ceived the nomination for County Rep.
resentative over II. w. Burge, the choice
having BEEN indicated at a primary cleo
ton held the day previous.
No nomination was made for Joint
Representative. Mr.. Cass having mag
unanimously withdrawn from the con-
test and Cincinnatus-like gone back TO
the plow-handles, the Convention wise
ly determined to refer the two surviv-
ing aspirants to the people Of the Flo
terial District for a settlement of their
claims. So that we now have two Radi-
calls in the field for Joint Representa-
tive-Mr. Dowell, of Polk, and Mr..
Griffith, of Mcigs county.

Entitled to Vote,

The Jackson Tribune says: Every
body who holds, or ever did hold GER
tilicate of registration from the Clerk
of the County Court, or from any Reg
istrar who ever oiliciated in this coun-
ty, is now legal voter. What we
want in this county, is q liberal Regis
trar, who will issue certificates to those
who are entitled to them under the
law, and we feel confident that the day
of partisan registration is ended. Eve
ry young man who has come of age
since the war, should apply for GER
tificatc. He can procure one. The old
men, who remained at home, and whose
children often went into the Rebel ar
my without their consent, should bCstir
themselves in this critical hour and Sc
cure badge Of freedom. Procure the
certificate and don't stand on the mode.

DR.. Leatherman Done up in a Red
RaT.

The Memphis Acalonche, of the 10Th
instant, disposes of DR.. Leatherman,
the Independent candidate for Govern
or, thusly:
There is nothing in Col. Lcatherman's
past or present position that should Sc
cure him the respect, confidence or sup
port of the people of Tennessee. Heis
an arrant humbug. Like the yellow
quadruped in the menagerie, he is too
small for lion, don't look like tiger
and nobody wants to see dog. In the
recent judicial election, he was prolific
in promises, but poor in performances.
While the Conservative party was
spending money, laboring and toiling
and marching in solid phalanX upon the
enemy Of peace and the taxpayer, ID.
NJ. Leatherman basely deserted his
standard and fled to the mountains of
Uepsidam, and the gallant friends that
he so shamefully betrayed, treat his
aspirations for Governor and his vain
glorious pretentions to craftsmanship
with deserved contempt. Y
We shall probably hear nothing fur
Their of Leatherman in this world.

Grants Administration.

The New York Uerald, which con-
tributed largely to the election Of Gen.
Grant, seems to indulge an unlimited
contempt for his administration. In Il
recent article in reference to the war in
Paraguay, and the treatment of Ameri-
can Ministers by Brazil and her allies,
the Herald says:
This only shows what a miserable
and imbecile government we have. Ev-
cry little State, especially if it be a
monarchy-for our State Department
has Il particular tenderness for monarch-
les and monarchial institutions-may
insult this country with impunity. Our
weak government will bear any amount
of kicking from nations. small or great,
which have active representatives m
Washington, but it will not raise its
finger in favor of Rcpublicanism in
America, Of the struggling Cuban pa
triots, or of anything else that is liberal
and grandly national in policy. The
great republic has sunk low in the char
acter of its actual government, and
there seems to be no hopc.pf raising it
up during the term of the present adj
ministration.

Secretary Boutwell,.


The New York Herald is after the
Secretary of the Treasury. After CIV
ing The stringent condition of monetary
affairs in Wall street, brought about by
Mr. Boutwell's mistaken policy, IL says
We have on several occasions com
mended the policy of the Secretary in
disposing of his surplus gold, but it
was because we supposed he would
with the proceeds buy up and cancel the
Understanding debt We did not i'm
agine he intended merely to change the
gold into currency, and thereby to ac-
cumulatc and contract that, to the man
ilcst injury of trade and to the advan-
tagc of the stock and money gamblers
of Wall street. 1t is intimated that he
wishes to accumulate a large amount of
currency in the Treasury for the pur-
pose of taking up with it the three per
cent certificates. These certificates OPP
crate as currency, inasmuch as they
take the place of grecnbacks in the
bank reserves and set free correspond
ing amount of currency for general use.
The boarding of currency for the pur-
pose of taking up the three per cent.
certificates or with the withdrawal of
these certificates is contraction. and can
have only the same disastrous result as
Mr.. McCulloch's monthly withdrawal
of grecnbacks. The country is not il
situation to admit of contraction in any
shape or form. 1t would paralyze bu-
siness, lead to speculation and gambling
and cause bankruptcy. If Mr.. Bout
well is one of the o-spccic-paymcnt
theorists, and wishes to force rcsump-
ton in any such insidous manner, we
give him warning that, like his prcde-
ccssor. he will fail and have to take the
back track. The only safe course to
pursue is to sell his surplus gold, and
with every dollar of the proceeds to
buy up and cancel the Understanding
debt. Yes, let him use even the sur
plus currency Oh hand for this object.
and then we shall have an easy money
market, gold would decline under the
continual stream poured out of the
Treasury. aud the annual burden of the
debt would be forever lcsscnod. This,
and this alone, is the true and safe poll
cy for Mr.. Boutwell, to pursue.

Virriuia Affairs.

Virginia papers state that Gen. Lee
will come out in few days in support
Of the Conservative or walker ticket,
in that State. He will write letter.
Gen Candy decides that the iron clad
oath will be required of all members of
the Legislature in Virginia before tax
ing their seats. This movement throws
out most Of the Conservative or Walker
candidates, as it is well understood that
many of them cannot take the oath, and
the Conservatives are thus put to the
trouble of finding candidates who can
take it.

our school system with such changes as
experience has shown are desirable and
proper; the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment, and an unconditional re-
moval of the political disabilities of ev-
cry citizens of the State. l desire that

sec shall not be misunderstood. / am
for calling II convention at an early day
after the meeting Of the next General
Assembly for the purpose of removing
all political disabilities and securing to
every citizen of the State. white or col
orcd, equal political rights. l am for
this, first, because | believe it is right.
and that it can now be safely done
secondly, because it will secure and put
beyond the contingency of court deci-
sions and legislative action the political
rights now enjoyed by our colorcd fell
low citizens, and thus settle permanent
ly the peace Of the State by settling a
question which, if left open, may scri-
ously cndanger it; and, lastly. am for
this action on the franchise question,
and the question of securing equal po-
litical rights to every citizen, because it
accords with Republican ideas and prin-
ciplcs, the sentiment and faith of the
great body of the Republican party
throughout the nation. and with the

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The Florida ratification makes, we be-
lievc, the twenty-ffth State that has
ratified the Fifteenth amendment of
the Constitution, providing for Impair
tial suffrage to male citizens above the
age of twenty-one years, throughout
the United States, without distinction
of race or color. The whole number
of States at present is thirty-seven.-
The approval by the legislatures of
threc-fourths of these thirty-seycn is
necessarily to fix this amendment as
part of "thc supreme law of the land"
Tweuty-eight States, therefore, being
necessary, three more will yet be need
ed TO meet the requisition. Under the
last reconstruction law (signcd by Prcsi-
dent Grant, Virginia, Mississippi and
Texas, as condition precedent to res
toration to Congress, arc required to
ratifv this amendment. Rhode Island
and Vermont will ratify it. In short,
with the reassembing of Congress in
Deccmber, we may expect impartial
suffrage to be proclaimed as fixed in
the supreme law, with the power to
Congress to enforce it; and so, after
this year, the negro vote in all the
States, North as well as South, will
have to be taken into the estimates of
the politicians.

ScIlurz on Suffrage.

Carl Schurz, one of the Senators from
Missouri, is out in a strong article in
the UeStliche Post Of the 10th inst, in
favor of the c-cnfranchisement of the
"Rebels." Speaking of Brownlow's card
in favor of the restoration of the right
of suffrage to the white taxpayers OF
the State, he says:
l." We rejoice to see that old Senator
Brownlow, with all his pugnacity and
all his prejudices, has shown such emil
nent good sense in fully recognizing the
logic Of things. Let us hope that those,
who in former days so faithfully imi-
tated his anti-rebel zeal, will now also
follow the good example of his judi
cious appreciation of changed circum-
stances"
