Tho petition upon which Governor Palmer

The petition upon which Governor Palmer
commnted the sentence Of the man Walsh,
who murdered his wife, is but verlh-
cation Of what We said some days ago
as to the little value which should be at
tached to petitions generally.
Twill be seen that this petition makes
statements which there Is no evidence to
sustain. It alleges that the Mayor, City
Attorney, City Clerk, and the Aldermen
who sign 1t have maturely weighed every
point and particular in relation to the cause
and commission Of the murders" and that
it is g stclea1ly case Of love and jealousy in
the man, and Of infidelity in the woman"
and that Walsh, driven to madness, killed
his wife "after several undeniable proofs
Of her infide1ity."
We assume that Mayor Mason and the
others who signed this paper did not read
what they signed, and we've not aware that
they were s!anderina the memory OF the
dead. In the history Of the case, from be-
ginning to end, there was never any impu"
'tahon upon the purity Of the woman. Hence
We cadnot suppose that either. ONO of the city
officers who signed the paper ever read q
line of it. Who wrote that petition Who
procured tho eiguatures7 Who invented
the calumny7
Section 12O Of the Criminal Code Of this
State declares that
IA libel IS malicious defsmation expressed

Gentlemen should be catefu1 what papers
they sign. Ayea1 ago petition was writ
ten at Springfield requesting the President
to banlsh one of the members OF the Legis-
latnre because Of bis crimes, and tho paper
vas signed by nearly every member Of the
Legislature, including the person named
therein rs the criminal. Charity requires
us to believe that the present petition vas
signed with equal carelessness, and that no
person will feel more nggrie.ved than Mayor
Mason md his associates when they read
their names attached to such charge
ngainst the memory Of a murdered woman.

TIE SUFFRAGE QUESTION

The Suffrage Committee IN the Coust1td-
tional Convention have made two reports
on the subject under their charge. The ma
jo,ity Of the committee, consisting Of
MessrA Dement,, Mcdowell. Cameron,
Sharp, and Bowman (Democrats). report in
fayor Of re-en.cting the clause Of the pres
ent constitution which restricts the right
of suffrage to white male citizens" and
Of submitting to the people as separate
proposition the question: Shall ths word
"white," where it appears before the
words "1nAle citizens in the constitution,
be sttickan out2
The minority, consisting Of Messrs.
Haines, of Lake, Pillsbury, Buxton, and
Truesdals Republicans). repor. in favor of
leaving the body Of the constitution blank
in respect Of the qualifications OF voters,
and Of submitting two separate clauses
ous with the word 1'whi:e' before the
words finale citizens," and one with that
word omitted-so that each elector, when
he comes to vote upon the constitutlon,
must make his choice for or against imp1-
tial suffrage. The minority also report In
favor Ct submitting the question Of woman
suffrage to separate vote.
A. regards the question of leaving out
the word .swhite," it is manifest that the
difference between the two reports relates
mainly 10 the method Of ascertAining the
will Of the existing voters on the subject. Or
the two plans, Obviously That method is the
faireet which requires each elector to vote
3,ro OF con, and thus gives an equal chnnce
Of adopting or rejecting the distinction OF
color which has heretofore prevailed The
majority report will coun. all votes cast for
the constitution itself AZ in favor Of retain
ing this unworthy and unaemocretic distinc-
ton. This is an advantage which ought
not to be conceded to the opponents Of i'm.
partial suffrage, and, We presume, Will MOI
be, since the Republicans have majority
Of the convention on full vote, and are
mora likely TO gain than to lose during the
month that will intervene before the sub
iect comes up for 6nnl action The repor'
of tho nipotiry OF the committee bring:
the subject to fair and squa.e test, ane
counts no blank votes, and no Indifferent
votes On either side. If any advantage o.
that Kind is given, it ought to be given te
the side Of impartial suffrage.

THE. EAGLE SCARS ALoFT.-A weekly news
paper, named the Eagle, has just made its first
appearance in Louisiana, with the following
lines by way OF. what the editor calls q 'Salu-
tary." ;,
We produce the writer's spelling as well as
his sentiments:
"Once more at the Helm we feare no storms,
no thunder, no pillows. The winds may roar
and surge, and in wild, mad career upheave the
political ocean until her discolored depths are
seen and bear mountain hight with wild confu-
sion the pillows and the pillows spray.
"From cloud to cloud the rending lightning
may range, until the heavens appear one broad
sheet of fire and the torrents pour in unbroken
floods, a solid mass. The ocean may rage and
the pillows strive to reach the very heavens,
yet safely, proudly, fearlessly will we steer our
staunched, storm-tossed baurque until we have
anchored in the placid waters of Constitutional
Liberty.
"Unless prompt, efectual stop is put to the
lawless career of the robber bands that yeald the
cepter of power, we may have to stear through!
an ocean of blood, storm of sighs, rain OF
tears, yet will we safely breast them al, and
eventually arrive at the goal for which all good
men and patriots pray and strive"
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1870-05-19

A DELIGHTFUL PENITENTIARM-A novel
reformatory enterprise is in progress in the
Idaho Territorial prison. The prisoners have
formed Bible class and spend part of each day
in reading and commenting on the Scriptures
and in the performance Of religious services.
Two prisoners, who were pardoned in the latter
part Of last month, left the institution with
great reluctance, as they regard its moral at.
mosphere as Of far higher tone than that of
the rest of the Territory. One of the inmates,
who attempted to rob an express-wagon train,
is now studying for the ministry, expecting to
preach the gospel when he is set at liberty. On
the occasion OF breaking ground and beginning
the foundation for the Idaho penitentiary, the
citizens of Boise City were invited to be pres
ent at the ceremonies; and the views Of the
inhabitants of that city upon such subjects may
be inferred from the terms of the notice, which
says: "a general attendance of every age and
sex is requested, in order that all may view the
commencement of an edifce that may some day
be their home" Such possibility is delight
full to contemplate where life and society in
such institutions are so far superior to their
outside surroundings.-M Y Tribune.
