It ia inked, und f.iirly onougn, whoiher in the conditio! of public ojiinion in lite loyal Slates, us nhown in tho Connecticut ret'unul of impartiul sullVage; in tho defeat of tho fiimo proposition .in Wi-conain by u mi'j rity ot ten thousand in iho popular vote, while tho Union ticket was elected by eiht thouHiMid, und in the disublinjj eutl'rjo Iuwb of many of tho other States, it is adviaablo to insist upon impartial putlVage in tho Slates which uro to be reorganized. Wo sny thin question is fair und natural enough, but tho put-ject must bo regarded from tho point ot viow cf the national welfare. Thu, in n Siute like Connecticut, which ia . indidj ulubly faithful to tho Government, it is not directly essential to tho national safety that tho two thousand colored men should bo allowed to veto. It is a pitif ul disgraco to the State; but it is not eaaontial to the nation, , because tho non-voters are so few, and because the political power remains ateadily in patriotio hands. So also in u ISCOnain unu uiuvr ne-ueiii oittiee. But in Georgia or Miasisippi the considerations uro very different. In thoo Slates the question of impartial suffrage involves directly tho national weliaro. Tho point of inquiry is, whether if political power be intrusted exclusively to the late re belt with their present disposition, the Slate will maintain that in timuto and hearty relation with the National Government which U indis pensable, and whether tho dangers of impartial suflYago thero aro not very much more than balanced by those of partial suffrage It U not u question for passion or rhetoric, but for tho calmest-and most thorough deliberation.

Tho women of tho United States aro represented and protected in Congress, and the judicial tribunals, by their husbands, fathers and brothers, who have us many reasons for guarding their interest aa for guarding their own. No prcjudico exists against them. They aro respected and beloved. The utmost attention ia paid to them, and their righta aro assiduously maintained everywhere No wrongs are inflicted upon them which the privilege of voting would undo.

But few readers ever think of the labor and care devolving upon an editor one who vastly feels bis responsibility. Capt. Marryalt says: I know how a periodical will wear down one's existence. In itself it oppears nothing; tho labor ia not manifcal; nor is it in tho labor; it ia the continual attention il requires. Your life bocomes, as it were, tho publication. Ono week's paper is no sooner corrected and printed than on comes another. It ia the stono of Siayphus, an endless repetition of toil and constant weight upon the intellect and spirits, and demanding all tbe exertions of your faculties, ot the same timo you aro compelled to thosovereat drudgery.

Not u morning, noon or night, but she looks into the corner. of tho kitchen whero you reud Kobinson Crtunc; and thinks of you ns yet a boy. Mothers rarely beeomo concious that their children are grown out of their childhood. They think of them abviao them, writo to them, as though not full fourteen years of ago. They cannot forget the child. Threo time a da' she thinks who aro nbaent from the table, and hopes that next year, at farthest, sho may just ' have her own family there," and if you nro there, int look out f .r a fat lamb or a fried chicken, and coflVo which nobody but everybody's own mother can mnko.

A short sentence, full of household hibtory, and running over with a genuine mother's fovt, is telling beautiful: "Morcovor hia mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when sho camoup with her husband to aacrifico." A mother mourning at her first bom's grave, or closing tho eye of child after child, diaplaya a grief whoso very sacredncfs is sublime.
