JOE W. Vt.lika:-
The Death of Captain Wirt
On Friday last, Captain Runty Win,
the superintendent of the Andersonvillc
prison, in Chorgia, was hanged at Wash
ington, by order of the PresitiMits of the
united States, In another coliptin We
print I% fall ageount of iiiseiht.tion,
with accompanying incidents, from which
it wilt be seen that he died with fortitude,
mid with a heroism that would have
done honor to a martyr of the olden
time.
Whether Captain Wirz was guilty of
the enormities that have been laid to
his charge, and which would seem to Le
smdained by the immense mass of evi
dence'adduced on his trial, is a question=
that must Le determined by the devel
°patents of the future. It is certain
that the feeling of the great majority of
the'people of this country was very bit
ter against him,,• and this prejudice
eventually grew so strong that nothing
that was said in his favor could obtain
creelcuicil. It was a dead set against him
from the first to the last, and the doom
ed mau felt, from,the time that he was
arrested until sentence of death was
pronounced against him, that there was
no hope for him; that, in the excited'
state of the public mind, he could not
expect to,obtain a fair trial. Having,
therefore, made np his mind to die, he I
looked, with composure, on the farce of
a trial enacting around him; and, while
his name was being bawled about all
over the country as the most infamous
in all the category of crime, in the bit
terness of his heart he could well ex
claim, with one of old:
"0. Justice ! thou art fled to brutish heasta,
And isle have lust their reason
It i not tor us to say that Captaip
Wirz was guiltless of the crimes that
were preferred against hint. I , llir will
we aver that he merited the punishment
Wilich he received. His soul is now in
the presence of his Maker—his body, be
yond.the reach of earthly hurt. With
the Almighty' now rests the question of
lima Attilt, or innocence. We liar only
to do with the flirt of his trial and con
demnation to death by an illegally-con
stituted tribunal, composed of men who
showed, by theiraqtions on his trial,
that they ahtici h 4 guilt, and 'were
only there to p mrsuricet sentence alter
the forms of a tri tl bbd been gone
through with.
, The laws of the land, in time of peace
especially, guarantee to every criminal,
no matter how great his guilt, an hn
9partial trial by an impartial jury of his
countrymen. This, Captn:n Wirz (lid
not receive. On the contrary, he was
dragged before a commission, composed
of military men, unknown to the law,
and haring tio authority under the Con
stitution, created for just aueh
purpose as this, under the false plea of
"military necessity," by the present in
famous head of the War Department,
and there tried for that most inestimable

And how a man, standing, as it- were;
with one foot in the grave, nud in tinily

lie in his heart, it is impossible for us to
,eoneeive. We are obliged, therefore, to
take it ,as evidence that Win was, at

. One 311411, amid the storm of pop
ular fury that hurled itself against the
breast of the devotqd Wins, had the
manliness and the courage to stand up
his defense. That man was Mr.

work of t:o , l' All honor, then, to Mr.
Sande, and may his example be imita
ted by all those ruby )(au truth and ju.-
tice, Or aspire to defend the right.
Well, the gren tragedy is over, and
the curtain has fallen upon the scene.
It was a fearful um!, and nio t fearfully
'as it performed. _ The _principal char
acter its WI his grays—a corse, dishonored
by the rope' of the hangman. We do
not acquiesce in the justice of his pun
ishment, nor do we undertake to defend
his deeds. We simply cuter our protest
against the wanuer of his trial, and pro
nouucc it an, unjust and---an infamous
thing.

children shall ask why tbbilinan was ex

cried out against. theta from the ground„
and to cover their 9 orn criminality from
the too-searching gaze of the people,
they • selected Henry Wirz to expiate
their sin.
to
"Loose Him and Let Him Go."
Daily and hourly we hear that "ar
rangements have been made for the
speedy trial or Jeff. Davis." Yet, weeks
and months pass away, aml. apparently,
no further approach to that result is
attained. • 'fhe Adwini,tiation seems

whatever that play be. nib, to say the
least of it, is vet y far flout being• mag

flects no credit upon the powers that be.
It is a most singular spectacle thus to
see this one man, as it were,lcaring
upon his shoulders the punishnfitt in
tended fbr a whole nation. What has
he dune so much worse than others that
he should thus be singled out as an ob-
ject of hatred and vengeance? To be

did not seek. Ile did not aspire to Le

and which both he and they had sworn

the chief magistracy of a great repub

The result of this atfanpt atrevolu

known to the whole world. Their arm

their leaders captured. Their visions
of an independent government have
vanished' into thin air, and nothing of a
public nature now remains to link them
to the past but the fate of their distin

In this fast country, l and in this That
age, it is eminently: proper that some
check should be put,ppon the tendency
which American men and women Ehve
to work themselves to death. No peo
ple in 'the world devote so many- hours
tolabor, both thodily and Mental, and so
few to recreation, as do we ; and proba,
bly no people accomplish so much, or die
off so early. The Yinkie characteristic
of gain is our besetting sin, and for the
sake of a little more of the "fllthylu
cre, we are willing to risk "health and
eyesight, atomach and heels," This is
all wrong. ' Better work a little less and
live a little longer, than work a little
luortiand go'soun to the bone-yard.
Employer 4, too, whether intention
ally or not. are in a great measure the
cause of the body and soul destroying
sy.tem of labor thAt now exists among
the poorer cli4kses. As a general thingy
wages are in such va...t dkproportion to
the Kiev of living that a pour man is
obliged to labor early and late to supply
the neees , ary and imperative demands
of his family, This constant strain of
muscle tells tearfully upon his Physical
and mental energies. 'He is left no time

his intellectual• faculties, and in the
great majority of eases, especially in our
lariecities, his children are allowed to

Emplyer:. al,o are very ofteb too
exacting of the time of their employees,
and. compel 'them' lul work to the
extreme through fear of losing their
situations. This is heartless to the last
degree, and should be heartily con
demned by every lover of justice and
right.
Therefore, we are in favor of the,
eight-hour system. The state of things
set rirth above cries loudly for a rem
edy. The eight-hour system is rust
what is needed. \ Eight hours a day of
steady work is as much as the physical
frantic of any man is capable of bearing
without injury, and we hope Congress
will constitute this period of time a legal
day's work. Poor laboring men will
then have time fur rest, recreation and
study. and will be better fitted to fulfil,
with alacrity and cheerfulness, their
obligations to themselves awl others.
