No doubt the Convention was unprepared for assuming positive ground on the negro suf frage question. We are aaUf tied mat tue prin ciple will jet prevail, when the popular senti ment has been more thoroughly enlightened and educated in the justice and advantage of the measure. To that end the liberal. minded. trie progressive and philanthropic will continue to labor, confident of the ultimate victory f the right. FROM TOE FAINSVILLI TILEORAPH. The resolutions adopted by the Convention are well enough as far as they go. But why did the Union State Convention ignore the vital issue of the day- the question of negro euffrnge ? FROlf THE MaOONIN'G SECtSTER. If "any man who was a legal voter five years ago in Virginia or North Carolina votes to day, it is because the Government thinks Jt expedient to allow him to do so. If it should see fit to enfranchise others, it cannot be denied that it has the same right to da so. What then is meant by saj ing that the question of suffrage must be settled by the States. What States? Whatever the theory may be, there are practically no States, until the Government re-creates them. And how can a State regulate the suffrage until the United States has stated who the voters shall be, in order that the State may re-organize itself. In the present situation there can be no States at the South except by direet authority of the Union, and Government has the same right to give the blacks the right of softrage as it has to give it to the whites. FBOM THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS AXD REPUBLIC. Negro suffrage a doctrine which we believe the whole loyal community will yet recognize as essential to the public safety. FEOM.THE ASHTABULA SENTISEL-. Believing that the right would be promoted by declaring for universal suffrage, we desired that this Convention would fo declare, particularly when it was the. freely expressed belief of almost every individual delegate. We desired an expression on this subject that would admonish the President of our views of his duty in the case, and so far as we could thus influence his policy, we should Jo so promptly and speedily. - FROM THE SUMMIT COUNTY BEACOW. But it is wise for the people of the North to create a strong, wholesome public sentiment upon the subject a sentiment that will support Mr. Johnson in taking strong- grounds hereafter in support of universal suffrage at the South. . ' . . ..... - FROM THE XAQOXMSC REGISTER; . The friends of free suffrage in Ohio, who hoped for an emphatic expression - from the or-uuiscoufiK. -liejuestion is ". to-dav the leading topic before the republican mind, and will be thoroughly canvassed ia every school district until the election takes place. The Union party, a3 represented by the press and public speakers have taken as decided grounds in its favor as the Democracy have against it. The resolutions adopted by the Union State Convention are such as will be endorsed by every loyal man. They were excellent as far as they go. but we regret very much that they do not go a great deal further.' We expected, and we think that the public also expected, that some of the great vital questions of the day would at least be touched upon. The failure of the Convention that met at Columbus last week to take any stand on the issue, by no means banishes it from the present canvass. It will be brought ud and dis cussed at the County Conventions, and at every political meeting. Gen. Cox our candi date for Governor is an ard nt advocate of free suffrage. Let us see that the men who will this coining fill be elected to represent us in the Legislature of theState, shall also be right oh the question. FROM THE FORT AGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT.

In doing so he will show himself to be the man for the people, and will become their popular idol. And such other of the nominees as shall take the stump, it is to be hoped, will go and do likewise. " .THE LORAIX COUNTT JtZWT, In speaking of the platform,' says: "The resolutions are well enough so far as they go.

BRIQHAH YOUNQs : 1 A Visit to tne liorrnon Prophet Poly, gamy Discussed A Hew Bevelation. Speaker Colfax and his party were very hospitably entertained in Salt Lake City. Mr. A. D. Richardson, in the New York Tribune, gives the annexed account of a visit to Brig-ham Young by the Speaker and party. He resides ?n the "President's Block," an in closure of nearly tea acres, containing the Tithing Office, Deseret News office, school house for his own children. Lion House, with a lion couchant, cut in sandstone, over the front door, Bee-Hive House, which bears a bee hive on its dome, and other buildings for his domestic nd business uses, and ample flower and truit eardens. the whole is sur rounded by a wall eleven feet high, of boulders laid in mortar. The porter in his lodge or sentry-box (where I think I saw a revolver hanging beside him) eyed us closely, but permitted us to pass, as we were accompanied by a leading Mormon. "President" Young, : with several dignitaries of the church, received us in his large airy of fice, with high walls, maps, photographs of prominent Laiter Day Saints, a lithographic copy of Bieretadt'8 Sunlight- and Shadow, ecales for weighing gold-dust, account books, deeks and chairs. At first the conversation was heavy and rather formal, though Br igham gave us a good deal of information about farming, &c. Noth ing can be raised without irrigation ; but by the application of water the soil is very productive. Corn is a more uncertain crop than the small grains ; but CO bushels to the acre is a fair yield, and 90 have been produced. He once raised 93$ bushels of wheat to the acre, and 90 bushels of oats are not uncommon. Many farmers leave their cattle out in winter, but they often die from cold. Coal and iron abound, but the iron has not yet been successfully smelted. : . ' " At last the disconree turned upon Polygamy and a lively, frank discussion ensued, in which all present, on both sides took a part. Brig-ham insisted that experience and history, both sacred and profane, justify it, and "posed" the scriptural members of bur party by asking them to cite from the Bible a single direct prohibition. But when he admitted that even Jn Utah, as eldewhere, the births of males and females are about equal, he seemed a little etaegered by Mr. Collax's asking liow he accounted for that fact if the Almighty designed more than one one wife for each man. Our Party Is Polygamy a vital and inseparable part of your system ? Brigham It ia not in our book of Covenant and Discipline. We did not adopt it of oursel ves, but in consonance with a revelation from God I was ordered to enter into Plurality. (The Mormons invariably use this word instead . of Polygamy Correspondent.) So were several of the other brethren. But for the Church at large it is a privilege rather than an obligation. Abuses of it sometimes occur which it is difficult lo prevent. But we have not a honse of prostitution. I don't believe you can find four illegitimate children in the Territory, You all think Plurality cannot last., Now tell us frankly ho you can expect it to be done away..- . - , - .: Colfax Well, we "expect you o have a new revelation prohibiting it.

You may do away with it by your own voluntary action legally, peacefully, "just, as Mis souri and Maryland abolished Slavery, v Brigham But if we did so it would dp only the beginning. You could then demand that we give up the Book of Monrfon and next our Church organization. Our Party No, no ! You would be tolerated in your faith just as Methodists, Presbyterians and all other sects are. We have no right to interfere with your religion only your practice when it violates the civil law. A Mormon Elder Theinfamons lavvagainst "Po'ygamy" strikes at our religious liberty and is unconstitutional.

Our Party The same it would have to interfere with a sect which like South Sea Islanders should consider Iritnan sacrifice a religious duty, or like our New England ancestors should interpret the Scriptural injunction, "Thou shall not suffer a witcli to live," as requiring them to drown old women on the charge of witchcraft. ' . . Brigham The cases are not paralled. - As I read his Word. God nowhere requires the taking of human lifr, except in the single case of his Son, who was given as A sacrifice, and atonemeat for all our sins. Besides,-bur' eys: tern ia entirely voluntary. -' V, ... v. ' - Our Party.True ; but the compariiion holds good insomuch as your system conflicts with Civilization and Publio Morality.

Our Party Well, just there the civil law would step in lo restrain you. Nav,, will you answer a question as frankly as we have done? Do you expect Polygamy to spread throughout the nation and the world? ; Brigham That is known only to the God of Heaven. If, as we believe, our faith is the true one, it will continue to grow and flourish, and nothing can- prevail against It. It is all in the hands of God. " '..; ; :. Soon after the interview ended.

The Harris Burronffltt Trial-Tha Whole ' From The Clncliaatt Times,- TUB inst-J ' The trial of a yoang woman in the Capital of the country fof shooting her lover, contains many points of interest.- It is not the -old story of love and eductiori. It. is a case, though a somewhat Aggravated case we admit, of modern flirtation. Many years ago, away out West, there was a little ;Irish' girl, Mary Harris by name. She was pretty, black-eyed arid. roguish. She was 'poor. 1 Her parents were dead, and she Rved -with some relatives, who treated her- kindly, .and gave her such advantages as they iijere at le. Presently she met a young man who took a fancy . to her fresh morning faceand short dreseesand ingratiated hfmTOll.iTiw'the good opinion of the old people, and visited her often, as a yvqng man of two or three Bnd-twjBnty might visit a child of twelve. Hei; called her. "His rosebud and bis playmate, and his puss in-boots,-?we I dare say. i hey. too long walks together, and sat'by the river side whole days, and read fairy tales." And so they parteil for a time. - But our little Irish girl is poor and is grow-, ing to womanhood, and lias to do something for a living. She is sent, therefore, to a neighboring village, arid becomes ealesmaid for a jolly old' shopkeeper, who, after a while, is very fond of her, for she is younc, honest and handsome. One day . she gets a letter. The younff man with the. brown moustache. has not forgottori her, aiid wants still lobe her dear, dear friend. Jnd indeed he is that, for this bright, hearty I ri6fr girl has a warm heart of her own, und is errateful and : constant.. So she writes him a-ready" answer, not very welt spelled, perhaps, but '-cheery and robust, like herself.- She- is . sixteen; he is approaching thirty a fair contrast. - He baa education and an air about him: she has no education to speak of, but keen "appreciation and ambi tion. They write each other a-great many letters all nTter the. "usual style first friend ship next avowal finallv love. This must have been a" very sad case of love, too, for. as the little girl progresses with her onward march to womanhood, the lithe and buoyant Bpirit deepens into sentiment and' gradually becomes intense. . She loves her lover to dis traction, and they meet once more, and she is his darling little Mollie. .' At this time Mary; Harris must have been what the young geritfemen call a killing little lascinater- She was just past ' seventeen -a tidy waist a trim figure a swanlike neck a comely face not too tall, luxuriant hair nod naivete. All the larks around town were half mad about her,; She . wore a bit of a gray cloak auu a irinsey hat. tiut she careu not. a fig for the whole of them. . ihe- was wrapped up in her old bachelor, as. she called h iiv, arid would follow him to pie end of the. world. She said so, at. leastand he believed her, and began to practice uph lier '4love'and trust. But Irish virtu is aqr article of stubborn quality, and often defies flie fiercest- passion. In this case, at any ratf, it did so. - The lover, failing to carry his point, gradually grew tired of his little .Mollie, after a flirtation of five or six years. Men veryfoften, too often, we fear, weary of their; little M oIIiar-1 h rougU sueh-.a i4Tey Jave"uo;.mind to long siege of :lov"ati make them their I to make them. s i wive, anH ar net able else, are -quite ready to rive them o 1 he--owylftclieio.r iuw ed.to marry somebody 'Shie - he-did not- want to marry itie aiome,. ao ite gave ner over.

Love is axruel passion. . 1 1 is bittersweet. . It has its dark . lines at best, and to this persecuted, abandoned girl, - they must have been hideously dark, for she took to brooding, and grew wan and pale, and suffered ami was not herself any more. I t was thus that she resolved in her .bitterness and wrath, in her micfery and inanition, that she vould follow him and kill him. Kill him! yes, for had he not killed love and life in her? Had he not married another woman, and how can you ofTend a woman who loves you, more mortally than by marrying some one else? She went to -Washington. She sought the department in' which "he" was ernployed. : It was a dull, cold' January afternoon, The janitor at the door showed v her up the flight of stone steps, and through the long hall,' "and pointed her out the very room, unconscious as a Government janitor must' have bee.ri, of her bloody;purpo8e; ' : Just as she reachea the door she .meetB 'her;victim coming out with a friend.

' ., 'The Washington :Chroniele gives an item of interest concerning the would be assassination of Mr. Seward,: . . . The Rev. Dr. A. D. Gillette "had a great deal of conversation with. Payne. He revealed to him the fact that he was a son of Rev. George C. Powell, a Baptist clergyman, residing at Live Oak Station, in Tallahassee county, Florida, u He had two brothers, " both of whom, he believed, were killed in the Confederate service, and several sisters. He says he enlisted in the rebel service when he was sixteen years old, and is now about twenty years of age. He was j captnred . at G ettysburg and imprisoned at Baltimore, where he succeeded in making his escape. He subsequent-1 ly joined Harry Gilmore's forces. But he became dissatisfied and he deserted. ' He afterwards co:nectel hi nisei, with- Mosby's band of guerillas, and.here he says he found a most desperate set of fellows. He says he enlisted in the rebel service from a sense of duty and a conscientious belief that he was performing an obligation he owed to his (the Confederate) government. Itshould be'here stated tn at he sayst he entered the rebel eervice against the will of hie parents. He was induced to jo'.n the cavalry forces under Mosby on account of his inability to stand the severe marches of the infantry and s-ays that he frequently became faint arid fell to the ground. To this connection with Mosby's band he attributes his introduction to. Booth and the evils conse quent thereto. . lie desired the clergyman to let Mr. Seward k now that '-'he had no malice against him, as between man and man," to use his own words, 'but he had agreed to do his duty, and could not, as he then mistaken-y thought, back out' He said he was to have no reward, uor had it been promised him. The only benefit: he expected to derive was the approval of his so-called government. He ex pected promotion,, in the event of his being successful, and he had always been led to believe that the Confederacy would triumph, either by the - force of arms or the recognition of foreign powers. He says the first' Mea. was to capture the . President, Mr. Seward, ' and ot her prominent characters.: With, that understanding, he was persuaded to lend his assistance. The plan of aesasninatioji was broached at the laBt moment, .tie requested Dr. Gillette to write to his relatives and say : that he repented and' had his hopes in heaven. He. impressed the clergyman as a person of more than ordinary intellect and possessed of correct religious ideas. Jle had a few small articles, a knife arid a bible, which he desired the clergyman to send to. his people. He has ..si sisters. In the bible were some flowers he had pressed white convolvulus and blue larkspur thatbad grown in his prison yard. lie. was entirely resigned to his fate, and said he could never again enjoy life, even if he were pardoned. He slept about three hrurs during the night, and ate some toast and drank a cup of coffee for breakfast. . Payne declared positively that he did not know, the na'mes of the. principal uien concerned with Booth -in arraoging the preliminaries for the' assassination. He saw a number of men in Richmond who appeared to be deeply interested in the scheme to ab duct tre Preeide.tt, and thejr were sanguine of the success or their con teaeracy. lint Jiootn himself be considered the leading spirit in the ;.Pay n e salt be- had recjettei inpre tha n&nj: Mrsi burraft into trouble, and declared that he had no conversation with her at her house the night he was arrested there. II is object in going to her house was ' to obtain a suit pi clothes that :would enable hira to make hie escapejnto Virginia. . He censures her son, John H. Surratt, in the severest- terras for deserting his mother in the. hour of her direst extremity. -Payne was simple in his manners; and appeared to be perfectly sincere. He said th at a ft er he e.ca ped from . Mr. Seward's house, on the night of the attempted; assassination, he rode some three, miles across the Eastern Branch, when he injured his horse and was compelled to dismount. For, three days and three nights he wandered through the woods, without any sustenance, every moment expecting to be arrested. He felt that he bad committed a grievous sin, and that he would be pursued and overtaken. On one occasion a party scouting for him drew very near to where he was secreted. " He climbed a tree and found a secure shelter in the topmost branches. Then it was that the pangs of hunger determined him to make his escape if possible.

Yet it must have been worthy : an attempt, for evidently the creature was sanguinary that in all that line of gentlemen nassen gers one of the number would be sufficiently mindluf of oppressed Africa to vacate his seat for a lady." ' Whether it was because of her size or an inadequute regard for the rights of the downtrodden, not a passenger stirred. An indignant scowl rufflod the sable features as her eyes must disappointedly up this side and down that. " Still not a passenger stirred. Preseritly, at one of the crossings, a lady entered the car, and r.o sooner had she appeared at the door, than the nearest gentleman had offered her his sitting place." But before the lady could acknowledge the politeness, the negress bad suddenly settled herself in tne vacant seat.' Astonished by such aadacity, the gentleman remonstrated with the intruder, telling her that he nad , not vacated his "seat for her. "Well. T'se got it, and I'ee gwine to keeD it." she impudently responded, now set tling herself still more jirmiy; upon.the seat "BaCjaid the gentleman, ! gave it'up to a lady .''1 . f Well'.retorted the wench, -"the la- dtf has got it. .CnlIud folks got dera.rights as well as white trash. , I'se gwine to keep die seat."

A Horrible Fate-A Maa Bittea by . Eattlesaake. One of the most horrible deaths possible for a man to "meet, is awaiting Mr. Jacob Shu eater, a farmer near ; Waupatori, in this county, who was bitten by a rattlesnake last. Mr. Shuester was in a field mowing hay, when-he came upon the snake and it attempted to era wl away. He Cut it in two with, his scythe, and as it still gave eigne of life, he severed it again within three inches of its head. .It then seemed to te dead, and he stooped down to examine its mouth. He was approaching its tnouth with his right hand, when the snake sprang and fastened itself to his right . thumb. He sprang to his feet, and, after several seconds, succeeded in loosening its hold and flinging it to the ground. The thumb pained him1 terribly, and he ran to the house. It immediate ly, commenced swelling, aud his ngonv iu- creased. . . ; - Neighbors were sent for, who applied remedies of which they had heard. But they did no good, and in tea minutes Mr. Shuester commenced vomiting' blood. All the remedies suggested by his neighbors haying failed, they "doctored" hira until late Sunday forenoon, -when Dr. Staples, of this city, wss eent for. He arrived at the house, a distance of twenty miles, Sunday evening. He found Shuester in a horrible state of body and mind. His right arm was swollen to tour times its- natural size," and was nearly black. This color had reached his breast, and was spreading over his system. Below the elbow the poison had af- tecied the arm so that its surface was covered with large blisters, which were filled with blood. From one of these the doctor drew neaily a teacup full of blood. The palm of mc euuuw a iiauu, hi ii'ougir en uousea oy la bor, was puffed out like a sugar loaf and blood continually flowed from the wounded thumb. His breath was awfully offensive. . Mr Shuester retains all his senses. Before he was bitten, he was a large, well-built man, and possessed great strength.. He is now hag-gard,ws whi.te as a sheet, and his eyes - are ghastly. '. Dr. S. adnitnipterfd jowerful neutraliring medicines, and Mr. Shuester felt somewhat relieved almost immediately. The Doctor stayed with him all night linn at ten; o'clock, yes terday morning,, with slight hopes of his recovery. When the Docfcr left Mr. Shuester complained of a feeling which was then coming upon, him for the first time, a sort of be- numbering, yet painfully tingling sensation which affected his whole body , He was al.vej yesterday morning, since that time, we haveJ not heard from him. , ' . Mr. Shuester is a welI-lodo : farmer; and is generally respected in the Community where he lives.: He has. a wife-and. two children, who are in agony over, his misfortune. Dutu-que 25?nes. . .- .'.
