AH action in reference to the matter has been postponed until Wednesday of next week. L.ASI1 A.I 1'ILLOUY. We had supposed we were living in the nineteenth century, and that the age of barbarism had passeu away; but it seems thai 11 is reserved for the Dem ocratic State o! Delaware to convince us of our t-rror. A dispatch from Wil mington, dated !ait Monday, says: This afternoon, ten men six colored and four whim were lathed at New Castle. A I.irjje crowd witnessed the exhibition: Five men were pilloried. "WHICH." The following' dispatches are toih received at the same time, under the same date. Has Davis' trial comnifn ced? j Richmond. Nov. 25. The trial of Davis commenced at 2 o'clock Monday. No intimation of any postponement. Government summoned Geo. Lee as a witness. Richmond, Nov. 25. The Chit-f Justice did'nt crrive to day, consequently the trial of Davis is not commenced. . S COOLrUXOUUII.FOIt WSXTEK. We like to see a man take things a they come, and keep up his courage under adverse circumstances; but to hear Morton say. as he does, that Ne braska is Democratic and that she will give her Electoral vote for the Demo cratic nominee for President in 18G3. is stretching things amazingly when we take into consideration known status of politics in this young State. The Democracy stand about the same chance to carry Nebraska in 1S68 that Morion does of being able to control bis own party in his owu county and that, as everybody knows, is a fearfullv turn one Mas. .Morton receired acy despatches on his subjec:? FRAXCI1ZSC IX ALlU43iMl- The majority of the Committee on Elective Franchise of the Alabama Convention have reported in favor of admitting to the right of suffrage every male adult citizen, and every m ile adult person who has declared his in tention to become a citizen, and who has resided twelve months in the State and three months in the county; with the usual exception that United States soldiers and marines temporarily on duty in the State shall not be consider ed as acquiring a residence therein; and except, also, that no person shall register, vote, or hold office who inflict ed cruel or unusual punishments on any soldier or citizen of the United States during the Rebellion, or violated the rules of civilized watfare, or who has been convicted of treason or other crime, and those who, having been registered under the Reconstruction act of Congress of Much 2, 1867, sh?il refuse to vote eiiher for or against the Constitution which may be adopted by the Convention. The reason of the !at clause is that the act requires that at least half the registered voters shall vote for or against the Constitution. The Com mittee are of opinion that men who re fuse to vote on one side or the other in the hpe that by the help of the sick, diseased, and intimidated voters who will be prevented from vo:if;g for the Constitution they will be able to pre vent its al.tpnon uugh: not to vc:e at all. Tne South Carolina Conservative Convention appears to thu.k that the great Masters of the Common Law in England, and '.Le framers of our Con stitution, d'd cot contemplate, when they provided for trial by jury, such an "e jonm'ty" as allowing negroes to sit upon juries. . .Did they, then, con template such an "enormity" as crea ting a privileged class, and saying that only such and ruch persons should be entitled to trial by jury. That is cer tainly cot in accordance with the gen eral idea of the spirit of jury trials. The recent census of Io.va shows a population of ' nine hundred and two thousand and forty. An increase of one huoJr?4 and forty thousand in two year. lOlIt KAIL. IIO.ID." Umlf r the above bradiug. we find a lengihy article in ihe Lincoln Common' ! ueulli which recognizes Nebraska City as the' onfyr point from which they ex pect a railroad, nnd applies the term our railroad" to ih u. proposed line. The '' writer say: do hot pohsider tin de bra. ions mad 4 t yojr Nt-br.ikaf city friends that 'by this time next year the cars will be running' from there to Lincoln a at all smattering of Uto pia;" and in the same paragraph sciys ihe Burlington and Misouri will eventually have a line vo its original survey.' lhe arutie cans upon uie people of Lancaster county to "pot their shoulders to the wheel'" and as ' ' " wit sist the road irom .Nebraska city. e have no disposition to find fault whh he Commonwealth for throwing its whole energies in favor of a road from Nebraska city it has a perfect right 10 do so; but we do object, in behalf of the people of Lancaster county, to its ' throwing cold water" on 'the 13. Si M. R. As we said in u former article," ii is to lhe interest of the people of Lnni caster countv to encourage and assist all roads' projected or in course of con struction towards Lincoln. The 13. &. M. roaa is the onli one at present that has any existence in reality, and it is not to the interest of the people cf Lancaster county to treat it lightly. We know whereof we speak when w say that wi.h proper efforts on the part of the people along the line of the road this road will be built nt a very early day we will uot say in advance of any and all proposed lines, because we have no disposiiion to discourage any confi- dt-nce that may be reposed in other line?. The people of Lancaster coun ty do not adopt the motto of the Com monwealth, however, in cal ing any particular line "our Railroad; but if we are not mistaken they .are inclined to make it plural and say "our Rail roads," and embrace all the propesed and located lines within the meaning ot the sentence. We. would remind lhe Commonweal h that the B. & M. R. R. has the charter and gram of lands lor forty miles wide from ihe city of Lin coln westward; and where and how is any oiher road to get its westward line omit the B. & M. R, R. is built. Would it not be more politic for that paper to urge the people to "put their shoulders to the wheel" and assist both lines, and especially the one which has the grant of lands and controls the western connection? We may be mis taken in our views as to what are the best interests of the people of Lancas ter county. If so, we would be pleas ed to have the Commonweal! ft K... and its readers wherein. If we mis take not the people, the tax-payers of Lancaster county passed a resolution asking their County Commissioners to submit the proposition of issuing bonds and taking stock in the B. &. M. R.R. to the amount of 6200,000. We may be mistaken in this. Will the Com monwealth inform us? We have seen no mention of this meeting 1 1 its col umns. At a subsequent meeting thev were asked to submit the issuing of an other SlOO.OOO to the first road reach ing Lincoln. The Commonwealth pub lishes the proceedings of this meeting. THE NATIONAL. FIANCCS. The following letter wa written from Washington, by the United States Treasurer, Hon. F. E. Spinner, under date of Nov. 9, in answer to a note from Hon. E. G. Spaulding, Buffalo, New York: . Mr Dear Sib: Your note of the 6ih lusUmhas been received. If some one whu believes in hightoned swind ling will write in favor of open repu diation I will agree 10 give the subject tne consideration of a careful reading. But I have not the patience to read any thing advocutmg the sneaking expedi ent of paying the National debt in de preciated currency. Tue Secretary of the Treasury is sound on that subject. and in his forthcoming annua! report will address an argument to Congress and the country, that 1 am sure will p'ease you and those who are neither knaves nor fools. The finance quesiioa is lo become the leading one in the reorgen;zation of parlies, and I had hoped that such men as Butler and Stevens would have remained with the great body of their friends. Having an abiding faith iu the honesty of tLe people. 1 believe the question will be denied hones:ly, and that honest Americans will be spared the shame of having their nation stifi ma.ized as a land of cheats and swindler.-?. Very truly your friend. V- E. SPINNER. A Manchester dispatch of the 23d say: The condemned Fenian?, Allen, Larkin and Gould, were executed at tin o'clock tLis morning. The precau tions against an outbreak were effectu al. Although the day was unpleasant, an immense crowd witnessed the exe cution. The city is perfectly quiet. The latest from Europe is to the efTecl thai the Pope has withdrawn hi objection to the proposed European conference. Italy, Bavaria and Wur tenburg have signified their acceptance of Napoleon's invitation to join the con- i ferine. A DEMOCRATIC OPKIOS OF SHEKMAN. -C v Brick' Pomifoy is a consistent Dem ocrat, and .Lis n.iper. ,the La'Cro!e Democrit, is" a consistent, and an iuflu ential caper ru that party. "Thelitis considered one of the bt-st expounders of Democratic principles and Demo cratic ideas is demoiutrated in the fact that it claims and the claim tands un disputed to have the largest circula lion "of any lieinocraric paper in the Uti.ttd Stales. This immense circula tion is not caused by its . facilities fr "iving late news a thousand Demo cratic papers in the United States giv later and more news but ii caused solely" by the bold consistency of it. editor. Like all other copperhead papers and leaders, it opposed the war for the preservation of the Union, but unlike most of them It still adheres to what it maintained then. It is consist ent, and its consistency serves to show what a mockery is the pretended loy aliy'of the Democratic leaders. It be lieves and it is sustained in the belief by 'Sthe largest circulation of any Deiu ocratic paper in the United Siates" thit the army that "marched down to the sea," and saved the Union by severing the rebellion, were a "band of bummers, thieves, vagabonds and ruffians," and that this march would have "damned lo all eternity a legion of pirates and freebaolers;" and that the "sons of Kentucky rest in unhal lowed graves, slain for the love of liberty by Sherman's minions." The' Louisville Courier having nomi nated Gen. Sherman as the Democrat ic candiuaie lor rresiuent in lsos Pomeroy writes as follows: "And such a candida-e! Sherman Will am Tecumseh Sherman Vandal Sherman Sherman of the torch and axe Sherman, prince of a bind of bummers, thieves, vagabonds and ruf fians Sherman, whose 'march to the sea' would have damned to all eternity a legion of pirates and free-booters- Shermau, the lackey, tool, lieutenant of the Sangamon brother of the devil. the obscene, brutal, and boorish Liu coin Sherman, whose hands are red whh the blood of thousands of Amen cm freemen Sherman, whose most glorious acts can be written in two words 'Atlanta and 'Columbia !

Th la'est and strangest ca-e of disinterestedness on record .is the anx iety of the Copperhead party lest the Ilpi)tdi;'ans-;in : elctng Grant to the Presidency, may make nv mi-take.
