which was included in the route in order to
crafty the soldiers, aud the passing was
marked alternately by cheers and groaps, 4,

progress Of the war, were so unfortunate as
to be made inmates OF its iphospitabe walls

dence was approached and passed, II is said
General Lee stood at the closed blinds Of one
Of the windows and viewed tho pageant for n
few minutes
We understand that the route OF the pro.
cession was selected and led through the
streets which would best afford the troops an
opportunity Of viewing the city, before what
they had been fighting four years for posses

Some idea of the i'm mense business OF the

WASHINGTON, May 9.-At the trial Of Ben.
G. Harris this morning, Mr.. A. Fenwick, a
neighbor and friend of Harris was called as a
witness for the defense. He testified that
Chapman and Reed were paroled prisoners,
who came to his house on the evening of the
26th April, and asked to be accommodated
for the night He refused to lodge them in
his house, but told them they might go into
his barn To the best of his knowledge and
belief they stayed in the barn that night. The
accused here closed his case
The Judge Advocate offered in evidence
various orders of Lieutenant General Grant
and General Ord, explanatory Of the terms of
surrender, providing that the paroled soldiers
residing south of Richmond, must go home
"a speedily as possible, by the most direct
route, and that transportation and subsistence
we're not TO be furnished 10 those who failed to
go home, but that they might go free on
Government boats when on direct route TO
their homes.
The Judge Advocate objected to the ad-
mission of the order as evidence, and the
Court then adjourned until Thursday, in or
der to give the accused time to prepare his
defense. H r...a# 0.l.t
The Richmond Wing, of yesterday, says
Governor Pierepont, of Virginia, will issue a
proclamation this week, declaring vacant all
civil Offices of that State, and ordering a new
election.
A resolution introduced in the City Council
last night, disappearing of the return to this
city of rebel soldiers, excited heated debate,
and public meeting to prevent the return OF
such men is called for tonight There are a
large number OF them already here.

How True.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: "The pa
triot in this war is the private soldier; the
man who endures all the hardships and
faces all the dangers of the war with no
share in its rewards, and but an undivided
portion in its glories, which bring no per-
sonal honors. They advance to the charge
which decides the fate of the battle in the
face of q storm of death, or they rush to
the assault of murderous Notifications, a
glorious victory is won, the commanders
name rings throughout the land, the swift
gratitude of the Government mounts the
popular impulse and promotes him, per-
haps repeating it at the instant; they fall
to unknown graves, their names even too
numerous for the war bulletins. An indif-
ferent addenda to the glorious ascription
mentions our loss at 80 many thousands,
and the country congratulates itself on the
cheapness of the victory, and. pays its DEBT
of gratitude in honors and offerings to The
fortunate commander.

The united efforts of the PIONEER and
Press to shame the Legislature into pass
ing the great charter of freedom are in
effectual. Yesterday the House voted
to lay the Senate bill on the table and to
send the House bill again to the Senate.
We understand the members of the House
are determined their bill shall be adopted,
and 80, if the Senate will not recede, the
"great charter will be lost. This dis
agreement between the Senate and House
has produced already the most lamentable
results. Several political parsons have
become deranged; gold has advanced /;
the heavens are hung in black; the loyal
hang their heads in shame while copper
heads are high. "Shame, shame, sHAhR, "
on the recreant friends Of freedom in the
legislature. If our appeals are disregarded,
you cannot be unmindful that Ethiopia
is stretching forth her hands to sieze the
"great charter" and If she reaches forth
in vain, you will lose-nigger votes!

The Negro Voting Bill

We are glad to notice that some of the
Republican papers of this State are not
quite so crazy on the negro question as the
organ of the party in this city. The last
Valley Herald, printed at Chaska, speaks
thus of the negro voting bill:
The House has passed, by strictly party
vote. the bill proposing an amendment to the
constitution by which the right of suffrage is
tn be conferred without any restriction, upon
the black race. A condition was first proposed
which would render it necessary for ali per-
cons both white and black, to be able to read
in order to exercise the right of suffrage, but
the bug.ber of unpopularity scattered all such
conditions to their holes; and in the face of a
fact we'll known. and acknowledged by the Re-
nnhlican organ of the State, that intelligence is
The best safeguard to our government institu-
tious. and the only rightful condition to be
imnosed upon voters, the matter is made
worse by opening the doors to degraded and
untutored race who viii require generations Of
regeneration before they are fitted to perform
with discretion the duties OF an American citi-
zen. And yet while the Press comedies that
the permaneney Of our Government requires

A Remarkable Confession.

While the Richmond papers are filed
with burning editorials, which are intended
to &C. fire the Southern heart, " the Mobile
Advertiser of Jan. Goth makes the follow
ing remarkable confession:
We do not attempt to disguise the fact that
the confederate cause is passing through it's
most dangerous crisis. Large numbers Of peo-
ple-perhape majority-are heart-sick of the
war, and willing to end it upon terms which
would have been secuted as reasonable two
years, even q year, ago. Even the class of
Shareholders, having the deepest pecuHiary
interest in the struggle for independence,
are willing and ready to make sacrifice
which short time ago would not have
been tolerated. We have no doubt that the
country, including slave proprietors, large and
small would compromise to-day for peace and
independence on the basis of gradual and uni
versal emancipation of the blacks. We may 20
further, and say that large numbers are willing
to give up all their exercised thoughts of indie.
pendence, and exchange the institution for
naked peace upon terms of reconstruction.

Donnelly's Annual Speech.


It appears that the annual speech of
IeNAT1us, on the 7th inst, was delivered
at the evening session of the House when
only seven members were present. The
World says:
This evening being set apart for mere speech
making, there were only seven members pres
ent, Give of whom spoke,) and twenty or
thirty spectators in the gallery.

made speech in favor of establishing mining

The Herald says only seven members
we're present and that five of them spoke.
The Herald gives the following synopsis
of DoNNRILYs speech:
Mr.. Donnelly, (Rep. of Minnesota, spoke at
length upon the necessity of o complete reform
in the Indian policy of our government. He
charged that the degradation Of the Indians on
the frontier was the result of this policy. He
urged that the government should abandon its
system of treaties with the Indians, and lepis-
late for them. 1t should give no money annu-
tiles, but should labor to make the Indians far.
mers, and place them under the military au-
thorities, who should enforce order and protect
the industrious from the disorderly. He
showed that the total appropriations for Indi.
ans since 1898 amounted to nearly ninety mill
ions of dollars, equal to thirteen thousand dol
lars for each chief Of the annuity Indians. He
proposed system of checks to prevent frauds
By the agents. He argued that the Indians
were capable of civilization, and referred to
the former high civilization of Pennsylvania
and Mexico as proof of this. He urged that
the red race could not rise above barbarism
under such . system, and that justice to the
Indians was necessary to the safety of our
frontiers.

Minnesota will soon be flooded with the

now paid is enough in gold, but in green
backs it is too small-smaller than the
Supreme Judges Of any other Western
States reoeive-and smaller than their
predecessors received for the largest part
Of their terms Of service. The whole State
is interested in securing for the Supreme
Bench the best legal ability, and is willing
to pay for it literally.

Sherman.

The intelligence thus far from SHERMAN
is entirely through rebel sources, and
therefore indefinite and unsatisfactory.
There is no confirmation of the report
that Branchville is actually in bis posses
sion, but rebel papers say he has force
at points on the railroad between Branch
vile and Charleston and between Branch
vile and Augusta. A report from Phils-
delphia says he has crossed the Edisto and
cut the railroad north of Branchville.
