THE Xlith ARTICLE IX CONNEG.
TICUT.
The opposition have clamored tremen
dously against all propositions to submit
this new Article to any Legislatures
elected last year, before the new issitewas
discussed.. "Lev us have this matter sub
mitted to the people," they demanced;
and upon the popular vote, there is not a
State of the North, where they have not
prophesied its rejection. Everywhere,
the friends of the new Article were to be
routed, horse, foot and dragoons. -Re
member how the opposition journals
have reiterated their boast that this is a
white man's country, and that the people
were with than now, as in other years,
in the cast-prejudice, which has been the
leading feature of modern Democracy:
Well, the new issue has been submit
ted to the , people. - In three States, elec
tions have been held since the Article was
laid before .the - legislntures, and we hope
that our friends of the opposition are con
tent with the result. • New Hampshire
and Michigan have ; ustained the last pro
position of Liberty and Progress with
their . old-fashioned Republican zeal:
These were States in which the doctrine,
excluding a man fiom all the rights of a
man because his skin was dark, has never
enjoyed 'a conspicuous popularity. , - Then
comes Connecticut—a State in which a
"nigger" has been from time immemorial
so much less than a man, that our Demo
(trade apostles of exclusiveness and race
privilege have never doubted her hearty
hatred for even the faintest approximation
to the equality of men. They had fair
grounds, too, for their reliance upon that
State. It is only three years ' since this
very question of equality at the ballot
boxes.was submitted as a local issue to
her 'electors, andthey voted it down.
Even Connecticut responds at last to
the great movement Of the age, and t .she,
too, on Monday last, by. a sqaare "vote
upon that express bane, ranges herself on
the side of universal liberty and equality
before the law. Says & dispatch to the
New York World: "The Demderats
have left the election go by
,default."
Just so! Upon the question whether the
never-by,the-Democracy - sufficiently - to
be-hated "nigger". should have the same
political, rights as the white man, even
Connecticut "Demobrats"—as bitter par
tizans as we have between the two oceans
—have .. 4 ‘let the:election go by default;"
they have not rallied in their might to
the polls to bland the infamous
proposition; they have not even
rallied at all; they have gone back
upon the traditional Democratic hate
for a down-trodden race; they have
turned a deaf ear to the frantic adjura
tions of their ffie-leaders; they have basely
betrayed Democracy in the very house of
its friends; not even the :seductions of
of office, or the eloquence of State offi
cials who shuddered at the prOipect of
their Jismissal from place, could bring
the demoralized "Dertiocracy"of Connec
ticut up to the scratch; they have de
faulted on the officials, In their eloquence,
and upon , Democril4" itself, and that
"glorious ", : 'State" (see Pittsburgh
Post of a • year ago) haa de
.livered itself; f. AQW and forwer, to
the "nigger loving" Republicans • and
their principles, even to the new-blown
infamy of the n'th Article. The Re
publicans retain their:control of the Leg
islaturei,this QOM, our Democratic . Jere-
Simla would have accounted for by some
story of a . Republican gerrymander.
Better thin that, - they have refornied the
State Goverrunent; pitching the Demo
cwy,cint and installing good Republicans
in all the- State Offices; and by way of
making the "default" a sure thing, have
gained another, COW§I'ESITISS. The
gerrymander story won't answer any
longer. It is a more terrible animal than
Uist . which has tern Dimocricy liiabfrom
limb and swallowed the best part of it
forever. It is the sentiment of justice
which ever beats in the great popular
heart, and which, sooneror later, is sure
to be tridinphantly vindicatat-
Let us hear more of these "popular ap
peals!" We rather like tyeni;, Ur,
whole. The suggestion may have been
Democratic, but , the application is never
theless salutiry "and prodtable. ' To the
opposition leaders at Harrisburg, and es
pecially to those who soon assemble
there to.put a State ticket in nomination,
we atfeCtiOnately;cOmnend the lesson
'Which these three btates,And ConnecticMt
most of all, have.thus taught them. We

without a crying iniustice to her own
people, as well as to the Union at large.
Virginia stands ready to vote upon her
Constitution-4s ready as she ever will
be, with the unfortunate divisions in the
local sentiment of the Republicans.
These cannot be, and never will be, re
conciled by themselves,- .and the
plea for delay which contemplates
such a possibility, is altogether 'de.
lualye. The only possible adjustment
of the schism in that State must'be effec
ted by Congress, and the sooner we have
the needful measures to that end, the bet
ter. OtherwLse, Congress will, in De.
cember, find the Virginia factions farther
apart than they are to.daY, and still less
likelk- to acquiesce cheerfully in any
adjustment by the superior Federal au
thority. As to that State, it is only re
quisite that Congress should hold her
squarely up to the same policy' which has
pacified so many of her sister-States, and
do that at once.
Congress ought not to adjourn without
'taking the simplest, most direct, and
most decisive order for the settlement of
all these Southern questions, or, failing
that, to put the responsibility of longer
delays upon the populations whom it will
concern. We have upheld military gov
ernment as long as the position of State
affairs in'the South seemed to require it.
We uphold it still, when and where ne
cessary, but not for one moment longer
; than such neemity shall exist. We con
cur heartily in the annexed suggestions,
on that head, in the Philadelphia North,
Aineri4an :
We must plainly day here that we have
no sort of confidence in military autocra
cy, and have no 'regard for any of the
reasons or excuses given for it. We be
lieve that not a feW of these pretences are
.set np to hide the perssnal schemes of
civilising, and, whether so or not, the
knowledge and judgment .of most of
these commanders concerning blvil af
fairs are lamentably deficient. Congress
men have made a sad blunder in post
poning reconstruction for another year,
and the people should let them know it.
THE RHODE ISLAND SENATOR.
.The Providence Journal editorially re
ferred to the second speech of Senator
Sraeorrs as follows:
- Senator Sprages made another s pee chph
in the, Senate yesterday, in , which he re
iteraied views previously expressed, and
deprecated the prevalent low tone of
public morals in society as well as in pol
itics. The Senator's intense application
to his official duties and to his extensive
private interests, we fear causes him to
take too gloomy a view of the general
situation.
For this judicious and kindly mention,
that high-minded statesman expressed
his acknowledgments in the following
letter :
To the Editor of the Journal, Providence,
Male letand
.
Stit:=-I am in receipt of a elip from
your paper of the 25th. referring to me.
The most outrageous insinuation' that
you set forth, will be answered by me in
my place in the Senate. As you reflect
the sentiments, and are titlif In servitude
to the overshadowing power that at
tempted to control both the politics and
public sentiments of Rhode Island I
shall give to that influence the setting
forth it is entitled to- Aal strike direct
ly at the power of which you are the
t
lickspittle, you and - those who t y
trol
yon, will find I amlndeedlet In
earnest. Take, therefor% as yo now
have, the position in public that 'I have
long known was your private sentiment.
Your present is a far more honorable, if
honor belongs to your nature, than your
past dastardly and cowardly one has
been. I. am, dm.:
This letter is in the orator's happiest
vein. It should be printed, together
with the /outnat's Taragrapb, upon the
fly-leaf of the million pamphlet toiles
his three speeches, which are about-to be
issued under Demoerittic auspices, but at
the Senator's expense. The latter con
tinues to deny that either wine, whiskey,
or women have•had any share in the in
fluences by which he has been actuated.

The Gre.at Philadelptila Robbery.
How a million dollars were taken, is
explained, in the Post, as follows:
An investigation proved that the burg
lars had unlocked the Twelfth street door,
as well as the door into the yard, by
false keys, and had "jimmied" , the rear
window of the Saving Pahl Then they
attacked a Lillie safe, _one of. the largest
size, and built into the' wall. Their pro
ceedings in this work'appear to have been
as methodical as the occasion demanded.
Their first screwed a large piece of joist
perpendiculArly upon thefloor t securing
it by strap hinges, and furtherbracing it
'a stout piece , of walnut six feet long.
This timber was brought with them into
the building, which shoWs that their
work... had been thoroughly.: planned.
Using the joice for a fulcrum, with a
beautifully constructed tool, evidently
made for the they, unscrewed the
"combination" ilrenit the Anifeltad knock
ed off the handle. They then bored a
five-eighth-inch hole ,with a ,driii along
side.of; the :lila I and tipped - the bolts,
forcing the door open. Then they broke
the lock off, the lade, door „with the
jimmy and effected; entrance to the
safe. A car used by the institution to
carry books in and out on a railway was
run out, and the burglars went deliberate
ly at work to,,break open, boxes and re
move valuables'-• They leftn quart bottle
of alcohol, flask of powdec, wick;and
safety fuse behind,' ,
The very wort' • feature of the whole,
affair is that the depositors i n the &lying
Fund are mainly of , the. p oorer classes,
who cannot afford to. lose theft. money.

men, waiters and such humble folks had

THE TWITCHELL. CONFESSION.
Tsfo convicted murderers, Twrrcirsia,
and. EATON, will be executed at Philadel
phia tomorrow. The attempt of the
"former, by a sham confession, to cast the
odium of his 4
crime upon his wife, meets
an universal discredit. A North kineri.
can reporter makes the .annesed interest
ing statement of the circumstances rela
ting to that confession:
Rev. Mr. Bringhurst is the pastor of
All Saints' (Episcopal) Church. The
Twitchells and him. Hill, when they at
tended any chuich, went there, but Mr.
Bringhurat had no nquaintance with
them. When incarcerated on the char
of murder, George Twitohell sent f or.
him.- For more than seventy days he
has not let twenty-four hours pass by
without-a visit to Twitchell's cell. He
baptised him in the prison; and believed
that he had prepared him - for death.
Mr. Bringhurat is one-of that class of
unsuspecting, guileless gentlemen who
would very, probably mistake a horse
thief, if traveling with bim in a railroad
car, for a student of divinity, or a gen
tleman who does business with "the lit
tle joker" for a missionary just returned
from Hindostan. Mr. Bringhurst re
ceived Twitched's acknowledgment, as
above, with great surprise. Twitched
begged that it should be sup.
pressed until after his execution, but
Mr. Bringhurst refused to receive it
upon any such terms. The reverend
gentleman himself produced it for pub
lication on Saturday last. -
The heart of George Twitchell opened
on Friday when, after an absence of five
days, he became satisfied that Camilla
had forsaken him. He was led to be
lieve that she was too ill tovisit him, and
was apprehensive
,accurdingly. Unable
to lie, and unwilling to prevaricate, Mr.
Btinghfirst told him that his wife was
not sick. and was in the -city. The lady
requested Mr. Bringhurst to ask" George
where he would like; after he was hung,
that his body should lie. Rev. Mr. Bring
hurst reiterates his statement that she so
asked him.
Mrs Twitchell has • always manifested
exceeding,trepidation at the idea of the
reporters Witnessing the execution of
her !husband and ta k ing notes of the
confession he might make. The report
that' She fled the city on Saturday is
doubtful, unless the, hour was late, as
she was in consultation with kr.
O'Byrne during the morning. Mr. Bring
band in the'case is sorely puzzled. An
terior to this confession be believed In
the sincerity of Twitchell's statements;
he now knows not where he can cast
the anchor of hope. So far as the pulse
of public opinion can be felt by the re
porter of a newspaper, no one believes
any more of the confession of the unfor
tunate matriolde than that he was cogni
zant of her murder—but before, not after,
the fact. '
The application to Governor fkary-last
Thursday for a reprieve has been eonaid
ered and refused; the proceedings before
the national ,Supreme Court are re
garded as a farce. It is sadly certain that
op Thursday the doomed man will pay
the mortal penalty of the law. _
LETTER FROM HARRISBUIG.
The Appropriation Bill in the Senate--
Cutting Down Fspenses.
(Correseendence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.] •
The appropriation bill has been up in
the Senate all week, and has beenthe cause
of considerable excitement. Mr. Wal
-I.lfice led off, on the Democratic side, in a
studied, but very fair speech, in which
he showed that the expenses of the State
government were steadily increasing, and
in a ratio more than commensurate with
the growth of the State. He produced
statistics to show that, since 1865, when
the price of living was higher than now,
Salaries had been steadily augmenting,
•
and the cost of every department increas
ing..
He did , not lay the blame of thisen
I
the dominant
w party. The votes by which
,
this increase as ,
carriertcame from both
sides, and one was as much to blame as
•
the other. -' But it *as time to put'a check
•
to this, and the ,
party in power would be
held responsible if the -increase were not
checked and expenses brought back the
I standard of 4855. The Republican Sena
tors had the '.power to do it, and they
would have ids aid in making a etand and
setting a face of flint against this steady
tendency to extraVagance.
•It was . plain; from this speech, that:the
Democratic Senators bad resolved to make
what capital they could for their partyby
voting far economy, and that:the respon
eibility wail thus thrown upon the Repub
licans of meeting them half way or, of
taking the'consequences of the cry of
"extravagance" that would in that_ event
be raised against them. , ' • -
_ As soon as Mr. Walta s ce sat down, Mr.
.Errett took the floor and, expressed his
hearty concurrence in all that had , been
I said, by Mr. W. In favor of economy. It
had proved an easy thing. o raise salaries;
it would prove a very difficult thing , to
resist the personal appeals that would be
made against reducing them. • For one,
he had determine& to turn a cold' ear to
all these appeals, and to exclude all per
sonal considerations in legislating for the
Commonwealth. He was glad to hear he
would' have • DernocratiC help; and be
assured gentlemen tin tpat side of the
01Mber that, it they stood up to the pia
gftount of:the,' s enator from Clearfield,
epOugh Republicans ."Would be` found, to
carry every measure of ,Reform that might
be propsed. But her wanted fair"play in
this- He . would' sink the' partiesn,•and
join with others in deciding thew, ques
tions as Peniwylvaniaiiii; but 'he wanted
deeds as Villas wattle: He did ` riot wish
to hear Deinociatio Senators making
speeches in fair'or of Economy, for -party
effett;.and then Voting Extravagance.' It
was 'tile , that 'would tell. not' he

ations were put in, except $2,500 for
UniOn Temporary Home, Philadelphia,
for Soldiers' orphans. The appropriations
for Northern Home and St. John's Or
phan Asylum were reduced from $lO,OOO
each to $5,000 each, the latter being for
maintenance of soldiers' orphans.
A clause was also inserted requiring the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to
anticipate the maturity of $BOO,OOO of the
public debt, and pay it off.
The bill how goes to. a Committee of
Conference, the House having non-con
curred generally in the Senate's amend
ment. The probability is that the Com
mittee will recommend a concurrence in
most of the Senate's amendments. -
Most of the Republican Senators voted
for every motion looking to economy;
and when Mr. Lowry moved to insert
$2,500 for the Sisters of Charity at Titus
ville, whose building for orphans was
lately burned down, the most of them, re
gardmg this as the entering wedge to a
a series of local appropriations that would
take" hundreds of thousands out of the
Treasury, voted saainst it and defeated it.
This was done with much reluctance; the
claim being a very strong one, on the
ground of sympathy; but the determina
tion was to vote the State's money to
none but State purposes and State chari
ties, and the defeat of this, the strongest
of all merely local claims, operated to
prevent the making of any motion for any
other local charity.
The Senators on the Republicans side
wrio stood up resolutely for strict econ
omy ln every department were Messrs.
Graham; Billingfelt, Errett, White and
Oltnsted; Mr. Fisher, Mr. Kerr, Mr.
Brown,' of Me rcer, Mr. Stinson, Mr.
Coleman and Mr Taylor voted with them
on mbst of the questions that arose, but
Occasionally voted apinst them. Alto
gether, however, the . Republican Senators
stood up for economy with praiseworthy
energy, and the consequence is seen in
the fact that this bill is the smallest ap
propriation bill, in the aggregate, that
has been passed for several years.
Under this bill, the item for legislative
Fxpenses, which last year cost $137,000,
is cut down more than half, and the ex
penses of the State government brought
back, as-far an possible, to the standard
of 1865, and , the strong tendency to an
increased expenditure in the several de
partments thoroughly checked. If this
can be carried out and adhered to, the
people of the Stute may reasonably, look
forward to an early extinguishment of the
public debt and a conseqnent readjust
ment, a few years hence, of taxation upon
a lighter and fairer basis. B.

Somebody to Blame.
~..
Mon. t y evening, about six. o'clock,
John To melty, who has bel it at the City
Farm fo several years, havi ' g come to
the city;-41feiv days since, wts arrested
.
and taken to the lock-up , nd at the
Mayor'aL Court yesterday triorning•(the
fact of Tommelty having beegan inmate
of the City Farm Horne having been as
certained) it was directed thitt Mr. For
tune be notified that he was in 'the
lock-up. Mr. Fortune, it appears, did
not • receive the notice, .and at three
o'clock the old man was still in the cell,
having remained there over' twenty
hours without anything to eat. j We do
not know who is to blame in tho matter,
but it is quite evfdent that *tome one was
at fault in keeping that old martin such
a miserable place without anything
to eat. Poverty, although a groat mis
fortune and a great iticonVentence is no
crime, and, why a man under lucli cir- ,
a
cumslances should be treated a crim
inal we are unable to'see.
Truck Disposed Of.
At , the last meeting of city Councils,
the Committee on Engines EMd Hose
were empower ed to locate the new Hook

they deemed advisable. In accordant*
with this resolution 'the Committee in
structed Chief Engineer Hare to place
the truck in the Neptune Engine House,
and employ four men to take cluirge of ,
it, which was done.
The Neptune Company, we are in
formed, has been disbanded, the steam =
er having been turned, over to the agefit
of the Amoskeag Company in this city,
Mr. R. C. Elliott, there being a balance
due on it to that Company of something
over fifteen hundred dollars. Negotia
tions are now in progress, however,to
ward the payment of the debt by the
city, which if successful will place the
steamer at the disposal of Councils.
