RUTLAND HERALD.
TUESDAY, MAY l6, 1885,
Jeff. Davis.

The intelligence of the capture OF
this arch rebel reached this place little
after noon on Sunday, Two or three
flags were displayed; the news was
passed from one to another a few per-
sons clapped their hands, quite num-
Der collected at the HERALD office for
copies of the Extra containing the mo-
mentous intelligence; but the people gen
orally went TO meeting, or stayed away
according TO their usual custom, just as
though nothing in particular had hap
pened. 1t is wonderful with what cool
ness the community receive the most
stupendous events. And yet again it is
not wonderful. The great heart of the
nation has recently been made to throO
so intensely at the murder of the true
president, it is not very strange that IL
should remain sluggish at the capture Of
false pretender. But the quiet which
we witness Is no real proof of the alb
sence of emotion. Thoughts too deep
for outward expression, we doubt not
possess the hearts Of many, This is re-
ally an important event. The plot
thickens; the final catastrophe is APP
preaching. JEFF. Davis will soon end
his long career Of reputation, intrigue
hypocrisy and rebellion, and he will end
it ANONYMOUSLY, 1t is probably all
but the universal sentiment Of the loyal
people that he ought so to end it. Who
ever else is spared let not the embodi-
ment and incarnation of treason escape
the extreme penalty of the law. We
could wish, if we must have military
trials, that there might be an exception
in his case, and that he be tried by the
civil tribunals. 1t will add dignity and
solemnity to the great occasion, and
make it appear to better advantage on
the page Of history.
Booth young coxcomb and libertine
and all his immediate associates in the
assassination were mere cats paws, and
now sink into insignihcance. 1t is not 9
matter of very great Importance wheth'
er he and they were directly concerned
in the bloody transaction or not-ol
e whether any of them have actually
starved to death our prisoners-or hung
East Tennesseeans, and Others for no
choosing to become rebels. All this anC
q great deal more has been done, by
whom By the Southern "Confederacy.
That confederacy we have now got hOlC
of. We had it substantially before. bu
now we have it visibly and tangibly
As the head and the intellect of this con
federacy Jefferson Davis has been prac
Using treason day and night on a CRANE
scale for the last four years This fac
can be prOred sufficiently to hang him ;
hundred times if he was sufficient,
hydra-headed for that purpose. Let hin
then have speedy trial--that at least viii
be constitutional-le him be found gull
ty Of treason on some one of THOUSAND
counts, and let him suffer the penalty il

A PRoPHBT.-Edward Stanley, exMil-

published forty-seven pages addressed,t to
Mr.. Sumner, and rebuking that Senator,
who is perfectly able to take care of
himself. The letter is dated February,
1865" In it the Governor says:
aThere can be no peace for many,
many years, if the counsels Of abolition

Proclamation will make the war more

The TR1ALs.-The injunction Of secre-
cy has been so far removed from the
trials At Washington as to allow report
ers to be present. The Court will with
hold from publication any portion of the
testimony which they deem expedient
1t is stated that certain portions that
implicated JEFF. Davis have been thus
withheld. The New York Herald says ::
One of the witnesses, Weichman, who
was on terms of close intimacy with
John H. Surratt, and who, in fact,
boarded with his mother, makes state
ment which directly connects jeff. Davis
and his Secretary of State, Benjamin,
with the assassins. He deposes to the
close friendship existing between Sur
raft and Booth, and also to his having
seen Payne at Mrs. surratts on several
occasions. He adds that prior to Sur
rats going to Montreal, at the begin
ming of April, he (Surrate had visited
Richmond; and that when on his return
from Canada he was informed of the
surrender of the rebel capital he reftsed
to believe it, saying that "he had been
with Davis and Benjamin, and they told
| him 1t would not be evacuated,

Nor so GooD.-A young gentleman
was paying special attention to young
lady, and one day little girl, about five
yeas old, slipped in and began conversa-
ton with him: 81 can always tell,' said
she, "when you are coming to our house."
"You can p he replied "and how do you
tell it 2" "Why, when you are going to
be here sister begins to sing and get good /;
and she gives me cake and anything I
want, and she sings SO sweetly-when L
speak to her she smiles pleasantly. wish
you would stop here all the while; then I
would have nice time. But when you

and when I ask her for anything, she slaps
and bangs me about" This was poser
to the young gentleman. "Fools and
children tell the truth" quoth he; and
taking his hat he left and returned no
more.

Gen. Wade Hampton.

It is the boast of this dashing ex-Con.
federate cavalry officer, we understand,
from one who knows, that upon his Mis-
sissippi plantation every able-bodied negro
who was once his slave is now his hired
man. He pays the men $40 month and
the women IS, furnishing the houses, not
board, for each. He expects to raise 800
bales of cotton, where before the war he
raised from 1900 to $500 bales. The
small crop expected, we presume, grows
out of the fact that it is only since the
close of the war that he has been able to
resume work upon his plantation. He de-
clares. his intention to give free negro la
Dor fair trial, and that he shall hope the
best results from the wages system until
it fails. He has already dissuaded many
of his countrymen from the folly of emf
grafton. His recent letter upon this SUBJ
ject shows that he had in his mind the
following example, told by wise man
of Italy. The application will be plain
enoughsto all who desire to make it:
"The town of Salerno was once infested
with lawless gangs from the neighboring
mountains. So powerless we're the peace
full inhabitants to grapple with the evil,
that many of them decided on leaving
their birthplace and seeking shelter in
Naples. The result was that those who
remained, being weakened by the depar-
ture of those who had gone, were at the
mercy of the intruders, and Salerno very
quickly became, to its frightful people, an
intolerable abode. About the same time
a like intrusion thrust itself on another
Italian coast city, Genoa. But, instead
OF surrendering all hope, or making the
best of misfortune-instead of yielding to
any impulse of self-exile-they remained
at home, to do all they. could for the
maintenance of order and the recovery
and preservation of their personal rights
and possessions. And they protected
them and prospered; while Salerno pinned
and almost persisted"
