Harold and Atzcrott manlcstcdn no hope.
The former was scarcely more serious than
he had been during the trial. The latter
was much bowed. Soon after the promul-
CATION of the sentences, the friends and
relatives ot the prisoners began to arrive at
the arsenal Miss Surratt was among the
first To visit the prison. Tho meeting of
the criminal mother and sorrowstrickcn
daughter was most hCurtrcndng. Soon,
however, the former rallied and straight
way visited the President to plead for
communication of the sentence to imprison-
mcnt for life. She was joined by two Cath

Mrs. Surratt begged to be rcprcved for q
few days.

or THE PRESIDENT.
This morning Judge Wylc granted an
application OF the counsel Of Mrs. Surratt,
Tor II writ fhabcas corpus, and dcommanding
Major General Hancock to produce the
body of Mrs. Surratt before the Court. The
writ was rcturnabc at 10 O'Clock, but nearly
two hours after that time General Hancock
entered the Court, accompanied by Attor-
ncy General Speed, who apologiZed for the
apparent delay in making n return on the
part Of the General, as it was unavoidable
He then proceeded to read the return in
which General Hancock said the body of
Mrs Surratt was in his possession, under
and by virtue Of an order Of President John
son, for the purpose expressed, &c, which

Maj. Gen. w. S. Hancock Commanding, g.:
l. Andrew johnson, President Of the
United States, do hereby declare that the

suspended in such cases as this, and | do
hereby specially suspend this writ and di-
rect that you proceed to execute the order
heretofore given upon the judgment Of the
Military Commission, and you will give the
order in return to this writ.
Signed ANDREW JOHNSON, Pres t..
The Court remarked that no further steps
would be taken in the matter. Attorney
General Speed briefly rejoincd, commenting
upon the distinction between civil and mil
itary jurisdiction, showing the utter impos-
siblily of fighting battles, carrying on war,
maintaining the Government in times of
war, &C., by process of law.

Negro Suffrage.

Vermont has responded to Iowa in gal
liant declaration Of negro suffrage. The
Green Mountains echo the shout of the
prairics for human freedom. The Vermont
Union Convention, which met ON Wednes-
day, has declared itself in favor of equal
suffrage to white aud black. The Iowa I'm
ion Convention has already taken the same
high ground. Both these States are over
whcmingly Union, and the tickets nomina,

and courageous platform, are perfectly sure
of success. Sdicm tO.l RcpuJiicm.

The soldiers vote, included in the re,

majority for the Constitution Of 800. -
There are leo, 900 voters in Missouri, half
of whom did not go to the polls. There is
no doubt that the soldiers vote for the new
Constitution is, to n great extent, the re-
suit of fraud and injustice, and that in fact,
the Constitution was honestly rejected,
rather than adopted.

Political Corruption.
FANNY AMELIA VAUGHAN.

1t is great but common error to attrib-
ute the disruption of the Union ard our
civil war solely to African slavery. Ger
tainly The agitation of the slavery question
contributed in no small degree to proc ice
that estrangement in feeling, prineipl. aud
policy between the North and South which
at last eliminated in a devastating civil var.
But slavery was by no means the fountain
Of all our woes. To various other causes
may justly be attributed our present unror.
tunate condition, supreme among which is
the low grade of social and political rlorals
introduced by the Black Republican party,
and the gross corruption which that party
in all its relations public and private, has
practiced, aud still practices. 1n times of
civil war, even in times of peace exception
al cases of fraud and robbery will creep into
the administration Of the affairs of a great
Government like ours. But under the dom
ination Of the sectional Republican party
villainy has been the rule and honesty the
exception. Qualifying the official oaths
they took to support the Constitution by a
secret mental reservation, they reconciled
their tender consciences to the commission
of perjury under vague self assumed obi.
CATION to sher law. That they did, and
do yet recognize the UNANIMOUSLY immoral
doctrine that an oath may be publicly taken
and license given for its violation by secret
qualifying thought, is evident from the form
of oaths they have adopted for administra.
tion to citizenship, legal rights, etc. No.
body but Black Republican ever took an
oath with mental reservation. The dog.
ma is essentially Puritanical. 1t is of doubt.

themselves, for the same super mundane
genius that contrived it could readily invent
some other sublimated theory by which to
avoid the Obligations of finite oath. =.
Higher Iawism is the germ from whence
has sprung the whole brood of corruptions
that now af1ict the land. 1t gave rise to
that nicely false distinction between perso-
nal and political character, convenient fc-
ton by which pious aboltionists are ena
bled to Perpetrate every species of political
rascality aud still preserve a social reputa-
ton aud standing in the church. 1t reeog-
mixes nothing as criminal which is not di.
rectly in contravention Of the statute law,
thereby justifying any act of villainy, re-
sponsibility for which might be avoided BY
Wordy legal technicalities. So loose and de-
pnved is the system of political and legal
morals engendered by this Satanic doctrine
that members of Congress and heads of De-
partmeutS do not scruple to take contingent
fees in fraudulent claims and contracts. A

To MAKE CIDER VNEGAR.-Almost every fami-
ly in the country have the materials for manu-
featuring pure cider vinegar, if they will only
use them. Common dried apples are all you need
to make the best cider vinegar Soak your ap-
pies a few hours-washing and rubbing them
occasionally, then take them out of the water
and thoroughly strain the latter through tight
woven cloth-put into jng, and half pint of
molasses to gallon of liquor, and piece of
common brown paper, and set in the sun or by
the ERE, and in few days your vinegar will be
fit for use. Have two jugs, and use out Of one
while the other is working. No family need be
destitute of good vinegar who will follow the
above directions.

Nor SURPRIsIXo.-The Scranton Penn Reg
lister says that Forney, Of the Washington
Chronicle, is out in the Philadelphia Press in
favor of creating an order of nobility in this
country. Having made one-quarter of a million
by the war, he is in favor ofredncing poor whites
TO level with the negro, and then reconstruct
ing iE such manner as to leave the Govern
ment under the absolute control of the money
power of the country. Progressive, this But
not surprising, proceeding from mercenary

principles for mess of pottage in the first in

has received larger pay for his treachcry in the

uiartyrdOm, justified their crime because, as
stAted,by themselves, it was common Of
fsnss, aud complained that they should be
ceusured or punished for doing that of which
nesrly al we're guilty. The gentleman from
New York was returned TO the next Con-
grsss b. a larger msjorily3than before. The
senator retains his political standing, and
the only censure they incurred from the
party Of which they are shining lights was,
not on account Of the crime they had COM
nitted, but that they had allowed their swim
dies 20 be discovered and thus brought dis
grace upon the party. There is scarcely a
public official of the Republican purity, or a
relative hanger-on or political friend of one,
who has not fraudulently made money out
of the war While the people have been
impoverished and the country desolated un-
der the iron heel of war, the Abolition jack
alls Of the manufacturing States have been
riotiDg upon money literally stolen from the
people. Out Of carnival Of blood they
have amassed colossal fortunes, and are now
throwing every possible obstacle in the way
of the restoration Of harmony and the estab-
lishment Of peace, because with peace the
opportunity for robbery is at an end. At
ter the excitement and prejudices of the
present day shall have passed away, the fu-
ture historian who may write the history Of
these times, in discussing the causes which
led to our great civil cOnvulsion will rank as
chief among them the social and political
immortality of the Abolition party Cali

A most important discovery, far more so than
that of the alleged source of the Nile, has just
been made in South America. 1t is that the
great river Amazon has been found to be navi-
gable from one end to the other; that, in fact, a
new route has been opened between the Allan
tic and the Pacific. The Morona, a Peruvian
steamer, which was sent to explore the Amazon,
has arrived at Mayro, about 5000 miles from Li-
ma. The Morona navigated more than 1000
miles of the Amazon proper, and 600 of the
Yeayali and Pachitea rivers, which, until then,
had seen only Indian canoes. The country is, of
course, inhabited only by savages, but it is of
wonderful fertility.
