TIE FACT is not generally known that the pre-
Il smble to the present Constitution Of Virginia,
which was originally adopted by the Convention of
1875, and since that time reaffrmed by three Con-
ventions and ratified by popular vote in 1851, con-
tans what may be termed an "auti-slavcry clause"
This preamble presents an enumeration OF CON-
plants against George ILL.,, one OF which is that
he chad eudeavored to pervert the Government OF
Virginia into detestablo and nsupportabe tyranny,
by putting his negative laws the most wholesome
and nscssSary for The public good, and that "by an
inhuman use Of this negative" he had refused Us
permission to e-cAsds by lao" the negroes wbo had
been brought into the Colony as slaves.
This was the sentiment Of the founders OF the
cold Dominion. and it has been virtually endorsed

WHERE THEY ARE TO BE HUNG
THE PREPARATIONS FOR THEIR Exc
CUTION

This morning General Hancock, command
ing Middle Military Division, proceeded to the
Arsenal and handed the death warrants OF
Payne Herold. Mrs. Surratt, and Atzerodt, to
prisoners, and they at once proceeded to the
prison, " hen they informed the prisoners of
their sentence-General Hartranft reading the
warrants in each case.
The announcement did not take Payne by
surprise, as he expected no other sentence, and
he showed little emotion. Atzerodt tried hard
to assume an Indifferent air, but yainly, as
shown by the tell tale tremor of his extremities
and the ashy pallor upon his face. The SEN
tence was a thunderbolt to Herold, who had
expected nothing more serious than short
imprisonment in the penitentiary. The friyol-
Gus shipper deserted his face, and for once he
seemed wholly unnamed.
Mrs. Surratt was completely unstrung
The execution is to take place in the prison
yard at the Arsenal, which is not large enough
to accommodate many spectators, and there
fore. while the execution will be in effect a
PUBLIC one, it Will require pass for admission
signed by Major General Hancock, who is
charged with the execution of this order, and
these will be given sparingly-no more being

A LETTER FROM JOHN c BRECKENRIDGE.
John C. Breckenridge writes letter from
Cuba o the Hon. E. M. Bruce, member of the
late Confederate Congress, dated May Is, 1865,
from which the following is extracted:
Il have heard no news from the outer world
since disbanded near Woodstock Ga, the
last Confederate force east of the Chattahooche.
81 trust there will be wisdom enough in the
councils at Washington city not to drive a
brave and suffering people to the remedies that
spring from despair. Every man should now
exert all the influence he possesses to make the
present cessation OF hostilites permanent and
honorable; and let it be remembered that there
can be no lasting peace founded upon cruelty
and oppression"

TILE PREsTpEyr,s HEALTH

President Johnson's health is somewhat I'M

visitors. Many parties who visited the Visit"
House insist upon sending their cards to the

" hen they are well aware that his strength will
not permit him to receive them.
The attending physician expresses the beliei
that the President will be able 70 resume his
duties in a few days
