CONFESSIONS OF DR.. Munn. oLAusaLIE. AR.
Mold AND SPAhGLER.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Brig. Gen.
Dodd, who had charge of the -assassins, re-
ports that on the trip, DIR. Mudd acknowl-
edged to Capt. Budd, Gen. Dodd and 9th
ers, that he knew Booth when he came to
his house with Harold on the morning af-
ter the assassination, but was afraid to
tell of his having been there, fearing the
life of himself and family would be en-
dangered thereby. He knew that Booth
would never be taken alive. He also ac-
knoWledged that he had been acquainted
with Booth for some time, and that he
was with Booth at the National Hotel on
the evening referred to by Weitchman-
that he met Booth on the street, and
Booth said he wanted him to introduce
him to John Surratt-that they started up
Seventh street on their way to Mrs. Sur
rats house, and on their way they met
John Surratt and Weitchman, and return
ed to Booth'sroom at the National. where
he and John Surratt had some CONVEX
sation of a private character. He said
that the Military Commission, in his case
had done their duty, and as far as they
were concerned, the sentence in his case
was just; but some of the witnesses had
sworn falsely and ma~liciously.
O'Laughlin acknowledged that the
Court had done its duty, but insisted that
he was only implicated in the plot to cap
ture the President.
Arnold said that he also was a party to
the plot to capturet the President only, and
that he believed the assassination was
gotten up by Booth a few hours before
executing it.
Spangler insists that he had nothing 10
do with any plot and that his expression
that he would help Booth all he could,
was In reference to cling his horse.

easily detected by observing the position
of the letter 'T"f in the word This" in
the line reading, 'FThis note is secured by

over the left portion of the letter ''I'' in

WoOL.-Of the 100000 lbs. of wool
clipped in this county, the present season,
not over 100000 lbs, We are informed,
have been sold. This amount has been
purchased principally by T. j. Brown and
HI. S. MeFadden & Co., Cadiz L. Bran
son, Short Greek, and Thomas Green,
Freeport, at prices ranging from 20 to 70
cents. The purchases, we understand,
have been mostly confined to fine wools-
the coarser woods yet remaining unsold.-
Cadiz Rep.
INTERNAL REvENUE.-The Govern
ment receipts from internal revenue for
the past month up to Saturday night
amounted to $4,000, 900. 1t is estimated
that the receipts from this source for the
next three months will be about 81 ,000,-
600 per day. The annual income tax
which fell due on the 1st of July is now
coming in, and viii, it is thought, swell
the receipts per day to that figure until
November next.
The CHOLERA IN ENGLAND.-While
Italy and France are enforcing the sever
est quarantine regulations in the seaport
towns to keep the cholera from being inn
ported from Egypt, the epidemic has leaped
over all these barriers and shown itselfin
England, n the birmingham poor-house.
This fact shows that quarantine regula-
~tlonscannot keep cholera out, but ~cleanli-
ness, personal and civic, can do a great
deal towards mitigating its effects.
The grape crop of this vicinity will
prove a sorry failure, the rot having taken
the vineyards by storm. We hear of
some vineyards that are in pretty fair con-
dition but for the most part the grapes
are virtually gone. The rotting is attri-
buted to the rainy season. The Catawba
grape can not bear continued wet weather.

The regular Democracy hold their State
Convention on the 24th-the State SOyer-
eighty Democracy, headed by Cory, Long,
& Co., on the 18th. Speaking of the lat
ter. the Ohio Statesman says: Their
creed, IN brief, is that secession is right,
and slavery the true condition of the ne
gro in this country. All men in Ohio,
who favor these doctrines, and Who will
take pleasure in advocating and support
ing them, are expected to attend their
Convention on the 18th. According to
this test Of the Statesman, the entire par
ty in the State may consider themselves
delegates, and@can withperfect consistency
array themselves under the State Sover-
eighty banner of Cory & Co. Vallan-
digham belongs to the Cory branch ofthe
party, and fully comedies in their views
on secession, slavery and State sovereignty,
and with the full knowledge of his views
the Democracy of the State almost to a
man voted for him for Governor, and at a
time too when the war was In progress and
he was avowedIy opposed to its prosecu-
ton and In full sympathy with the South
ern rebels. If the fact that Corry& Co.
believe secession is right, and slavery the
true condition of the negro in this eoun-
try is the only objection that can be
urged against them by the Statesman
clique. there is no need for a division in
the ranks. Their principles being menti-
cal, they might with propriety sail IN the
same boat and support the same candi-
dates.

The acquittal of Miss Harris, murderer of A.
J. Burroughs, clerk in one of the Departments
at Washington, is commented on by the daily
press with severity. It does not seem from
the evidence produced that there was any mar
riage engagement between the parties, nor
that there ever occurred anything beyond
what the laws of filtration allow. The coun-
sci of Miss Harris put in for her the plea of
insanity, but as soon as she was acquitted her
counsel fell to kissing her in open court, and
the same evening a dispatch is sent over the
wires that she would hereafter make her home
in the West with her friends-all of it very
curious procedure in the case of an insane wo-
man The New York Tribune well says:
Burroughs Tilted Mary Harris, and she shot
him. Had SHE Tilted HIM, and HE had there
fore shot HER, nobody would have adjudged
him guilty of insanity. But she is a woman :;
and it is virtually adjudicated that a woman
who shoots the man who has been faithless to
her is necessarily insane. We don't see it.

The Savannah Herald contains an ad-
dress by Ex-Gov. Brown to the people
of Georgia, in which he urges them to
support not only the government of the
United States. but the administration of
the present Chief Magistrate. He APP
peals to them to take the amnesty oath,
and observe it in good faith. He argues
that slavery is now dead forever. As to
his W slaves, he will Immediately eman-
cipate them as free, giving them a part
of the crop or wages for labor. To those
who cannot support the Constitution of
the government he suggests emigration
from the country.

The Cleveland PlainD Dealer quotesdrona
the LIST section of the soldier voting law,
the declaration that whenever during the
existence of the present rebellion, any Of
the qualified voters of this State shall be
in the active service thereof, or of the
United States" they1shaH be entitled to
exercise the right of sufrage-and exult-
iDgIy claims that as the rebellion no lon
e exists, the law has. expired by hmita-
ton, and the soldiers who may in Octo-
Der next be still in the service and absent
from home, will not be authorized tovote-
We fancy the Plain Dealer will find. it is
mistaken in It's conclusion as to the expira-
ton of the law, and its party fail to reap
the benefit of the anticipated exclusion
from the ballot box of the votes. of
sneh-ofL ha-hovs-as may be in the SER
vice at the time the election comes off
but its exultant suggestion clearly indi-
Gates the light in which soldier voting IS
regarded by the leaders of the Democracy,
and is in perfect accord with the record
Of the party on that subject. They have
in all cases opposed the right Of suffrage
being extended to the brave men who
volunteered to defend the country from
the assaults of armed traitors, and in
those States where they had the power
'debarred them from the privilege of yo-
ting. But while thus favoring the re-
striction of the elective franchise among
loyal and patriotic northern men, they
are exceedingly shocked if traitors in the
Border States, men who are stepped to.
the chin in treason, who are fresh from
the rebel ranks and whose hands are red
with the blood of our murdered citizens,
are in any manner restricted in voting
Soldiers, whether discharged or still in
the service, will not fail to bear these
in remembrance when depositing
their ballots.

The returns from the elections recently
held in Tennessee and Kentucky are not
sufficiently full to warrant a conclusion as
to the result in either State. Tits thought
the Union party has elected a majority of
the Congressional delegation in both
States. Those portions Of Kentucky in
which most slaves are held went largely
Democratic or Conservative, and elected
Senators and Representatives opposed to
the ratification of the constitutional
amendment and, though the mountain
counties have done better, there is but
little room for hope that the friends of the
measure have secured a majority in the
Legislature.

A DEMocRAT.-The Lancaster Ga
Eette says-"The Gopperheads claim that
Gen. Sherman is a good Democrat. He
has shown himself to be a good Demo-
crat in general. When johnson and
Hood tried to crack him he proved to be
a Hard She'll" When he was down in
Georgia giving the people their rights, he
was a Estates Rights" Democrat. When
he issued matches to the boys. on the
South Carolina line, without stating what
they were for, we suppose he was a "Lo-
cofoco." When he ascertained the po-
sition of the different corps at night, by
burning barnes, he must have been a
Barn Burner" When he set free thou
sands of slaves on his march, he was no
doubt a "Son of Liberty, When he
made the grand circle of the continent
from louisville around to Louisville
again; wasn't he a Knight of the Col
den Circle?'
And when he bagged Jonston's army,
closed the war, and marched his gallant
army home, wasn't he a Peace Demo
crat?"
