Ten more white men from South
Carolina have been-taken to the Alba
.bany penitentiary, where they are to
remain from two to five years as Grim
lnals. One of the prisoners is Rev.
John Ezell, pastor of a Baptist church
at Lewiston Springs, S. e. This gen.
tleman asserts his only guilt consisted
in going among the people for the
purpose of producing quiet and order.
He has several sons now stduying for
the ministry of the Babtist church. 1t
is an easy thing to convict white
man of any offense in South Carolina
a carpet-bag judge, a mixed jury of
negroes, scalawags and carpet bag
gers, and any amount of witnesses
from the old plantations, make con-
viction mere matter of routine.

The New York World publishes
the official vote by States at the late
Presidential election, and arrives at
the following conclusions:
s.The conclusions to be drawn from
this analysis of the popular vote cast
in November, 1872, are as follows:
81 Over half million of Democrats
declined to vote for Mr.. Greeley"
"3. Five million one hundred thou
sand of the legal voters eff the United
States did not endorse President Grant
at the polls, being majority (active
and passive) against him of ], 800, 600.
's3. President Grant carried but one
State, Vermont, by majority of the
whole number of legal voters.
a. The late election vent by default
Grant receiving majority of the
electoral vote because there was no
candidate in the field upon whom the
opposition were satisfied to unite"
Adopting the principles put in prac-
tice by Grant and his minions, in
Louisiana, counting against him the
votes that were not cast at all, and he
is not the President elect of the United
States.

ConstitutionaI Convention.

On Saturday last the Senate of Ohio
passed by unanimous vote the bill
which had previously passed the
House of Representatives, providing
for the holding of the Constitutional
Convention in this State. The Con-
vention will consist of one hundred
and five delegates being equal to the
number Of members of the House of
Representatives, who are to. be elected
on the first Monday in April next, the
same day as the annual Spring cleo
tions throughout the State The del
egates thus elected are to meet at
Columbus on the second Tuesday (the
l3th) of May. The work of the Con-
vention will be of an important char
acter, affecting the welfare of the
State and people for twenty years to
come, and men should be chosen for
the position with reference to their
standing and ability, and not merely
on account of the services they have
rendered to party.

The New York Times is becoming
heretical. 1t is in danger of losing its
position as an organ of the Admins
tration. 1t congratulates the country
on the prospect of a change in the fl
nancial policy of the Government by
the retirement of Secretary Boutwell,.
1t insists, at this late hour, that Secre-
tary Boutwell's administration of the
Treasury Department has been nei-
ther brilliant, nor wise, nor satisfacto-
ry to the business men of the country.
But If Mr.. Richardson should succeed
Boutwell, there would be no change
of financial policy, and then the
Times would be in melancholy pre-
dicament, committed to aniagonism
in advance. The Times Is impolitic.

A very decided change in the poll
cy of the United States on the Cuban
question is intimated in kilograms
from Washington. The Secretary of
State has instructed our Minister at
Madrid to make strong representa-
tions to the Government to which he
is accredited on its failure to carry
out its obligations to emancipate the
slaves in Cuba. The dispatch of the
Secretary of State contains a strong
intimation, if not a menace, that, un-
less change in the Spanish policy to-
ward Cuba shall soon be made, the
friendly and traditional relations be-
tween Spain and the United States
may he interrupted. Considering the
positive statements that have recently
been made in the Cortes by the Span
ish Government, there seems no good
prospect of immediate concessions to
the request of our Government.

The temperance people are sending
in petitions to Congress in favor of a
Prohibitory Liquor Law. We used
to assume that under the Constitution
Congress had nothing to do with the
matter-that it belonged 10 the State
Legislatures but then. in these days
The Constitution is being so stretched
as to allow anything to be done under
it that the party in power desires.
We should not, therefore, be surpris-
ed to see a Maine Liquor Law enact
ed at Washington. We are in that
delightful and knowing frame of mind
when we cannot be surprised at. any
thing.

Majority for Grant

Of the LOGS, 900 votes given to
Grant, at least 100000 were negroes.
1t is high estimate to allow Grant
1865, 600 white votes in all the South.
According to the census there were
2,916059 males over twenty-one years
old in the fifteen States. Only 2,092,-
254 voted, showing that full 823,S05
absented themselves from the polls.

BY way of kicking the South some
one fishes up out of the census certain
statements to the effect that in Ala
bama SO per cent. of the voters are
wholly iiliterate; in Mississippi,
Georgia, and Florida, 81 per cent. /;
i'll Kentucky, %, per cent. in Mary
Hand, %; in Delaware, "a; and so OIL.
The deduction from all this is that a
population so grossly ignorant needs
paternal restraint, force laws, and the
like. But who created these enor-
nous percentages Was it not the
very men who most boast of their cui-
ture? Did they not insist that null
titundinous horde of semi -barbarians,
as Ignorant of letters as the mules
they drive, should be made part and
parcel of the body polite instantly
and en- masse? ~

This table of debts, says the Auditor,
includes only S97, 900 under The act to
authorize counties, cities, incorpora-
ted villages and townships to build
railroads. and to lease and operate the
same, passed April %, 1872, (the Boesel
law. SO called0 the reports having
been made only to the first of Sep
tember last. The bonds which have
been issued up to the date of this re-
port (November 800 and deposited
with the Treasurer of State, amount
81, ,6S5, ,050; and iG is quite apparent
that the Indebtedness that will be Gre
ated during the current year, for the
construction of railroads, under the
provisions of the act aboye referred
to, will be simply enormous.
The Auditor also reports q deficien-
cy in. the general revenue fund of

crease of levy for that fund of six
tenths of a mill on the dollar, making
the entire levy for State purposes
three and five-tenths mills. The sink
ing fund is also short to the amount
of 10000. This does not show a very
encouraging state of affairs, but paves
the way for general increase of tax
alton.

TONE OF THE PRESS,

The press of the country pursued
a wise course during the recent pan
ic in railroad stocks. As general
thing the papers have given true
statement of the condition of affairs.
They have drawn the line between
speculation, that brought about the
ruin of a large number of brokers
and bankers, and the Legitimate bust
ness of the country, that has been
untouched by the passing storm.
The tone has been hopeful, and
has done much to restore public con-
fidence. This is right; for to alarm
the country when no good grounds
exist for alarm would be little less
than criminal. AS long as our mer-
chants and manufacturers and Other
business men engaged in Legitimate
trade stand firm, there is no reason
to dread any bad effects from pan
ic confined entirely to speculation
and fancy stock dealings. .sy

Through the whole of the trial you

Through the whole of the trial you
remained, up to the very moment of
your conviction, as calm and serene
as though you relied upon your in
nocence, when it was overwhelming
ly apparent to all that your serenity
was only that audacity, that conf
dence in the omnipresence of cor
ruption, rather than the reliance up
on your innocence. The Judge en-
phasized this sentence by bringing
his clenched hand down upon his
desk. The duty of the court now
is to pronounce upon you the SEN
tence, a sentence that may be ade-
quate to your crime"
The several counts in which Tweed
was found guilty were grouped, and
ffty-one sentences imp osed, making
his term twelve years imprisonment
in the county Jail and imposing a
fine of $12,750. Counsel then gave
notice that they would move for a
bill of exceptions, and Judge Davis
said the session of the court would
be prolonged to give counsel time
for due preparation. The judge then
ordered such counsel for defence as
subscribed to the paper presented to
him at the opening of the trial, to
appear in court Monday morning
next for the purpose of inquiring in
to their action. Tweed, who receiv
ed his sentence calmly, was then re-
moved by Sheriff Brennan, attended
by a strong force of deputy sherIffs.
Tweed Is now sixty six years of
age. Seriously enough the name Of
VIM. NJ. Tweed is already inscribed
on a marble slab in the main gate
way of the Jail. where it was pleaced
years ago when the Board of Super
lvisors, of which he was then men,
Der, erected the building.
| When Tweed reached the sheriff s
office he looked terribly crestIallen
and sank down in q chair. Every
effort was made throughout the eve
ming and until midnight by his
counsel to obtain stay Of proceed
ings, but without avail. Justices
Pratt and Ingraham refused to in
terfere. The sheriff then made ar
rangements to relieve himself of the
responsibility for the safe custody
OF his prisoner, and at ten minutes
past one, Sunday morning, Tweed
was taken to the Tombs and the
lgates were closed behind him.
Tweed passed the day in cell No.
4 of the Tombs. This is the con-
demnsd cell in which murderers are
placed awaiting execution. 1t was
assigned to Tweed because it is
more comfortable, being near stove
and warmer than most of the others.
He spent large part of the after
noon in writing. The attempt to
procure a stay OF proceedings will
be renewed tomorrow. 1t has trans
pired that on Saturday night ex-
Judge Fullerton, one Tweed's coun-
sci, went to the residence oi
Judge Gilbert,in Brooklyn, and ask
ed him to fix the time to hear an ap-
plication for stay of proceedings
in the case of Tweed. Judge Gil.
bert promptly refused until the
Judges in New York should have
been applied to by Tweed's coun-
