P Speedy and just retribution has overtaken the assassins. Their trial before military commission was conducted with the greatest dignity and fairness. Their guilt was so well established by the evidence, that the most in genious attempts at defense and the strongest appeals to sympathy, could not overthrow or alter the verdict. Indeed, their most able counsel, early in the trial abandoned all at tempts to meet the overwhelming proof of their guilt, s.nd directed his skill and sophistry to an attack upon the jurisdiction of the court. In this of course, he was unsuccessful as the President is not the man to raise such a com mission for such important duties. without first establishing in his own mind his authority for so doing. =.. -a.lt -s
 The righteous sentence that visited four ol the chief conspirators with the extreme pe- nalties of the law, was pronounced. The execu ton, as is common in military trials, was ap- pointed to follow with speedy stroke. One of the feIons was d woman. The evidence had proved her one of the most active instruments of the rebel leaders in this bloody work. She could not plead innocence, for she was covered with guilt; nor meLtal derangerilent or weak nefs for hers was the leading intellect she could only plead her sex. Had her sex re- strained her from the committal of such a horrid crime, this plea would have been un necessary. But beneath the cloud oi guilt that this most bloody murder has wrapped aboat her, who could discern the form or face of a woman? ,o r.5 r--t .-
 Still her friends determined not to leave g stone unturned that might protect or save hel guilty life. A writ of habeas corpus was ob
 tained to bring the wretch before civil court
 The President refused the writ, and justice lad it's course. ,.F -.f.
 The course of President Johnson in these events, gives the lie to all the recent clamors about his 'in6delity to the principles of Gov ernment that Mir. Linceln had established.
 It has been trnmpeted abroad, through the
 last few weeks, by the enemies of the govern l ment, that he was opposed to the Mllltar!
 Commission, and to the suspension of the wri
 of habeas corpus. We have never had doub
 that the court which has just pa ssed sentence
 nnaa 4hAnn ,a,lafa4iA-,--.-- l--.A ---a.,fhsritJ
 he has now so fully endorsed, was created al
 the instance of our good President himself j. and his prompt suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, that was intended to bring the most m
 questionable criminal before most doubtfu
 tribunal for examination, will silence forever
 the twaddle of our enemies, who claim him a. | their companion or creatule. e

Guess Not.

The President has had quite a talk with the rich men of Virginia. A deputation of these waited upon him, with request that he strike out the twenty thousand dollar exception from his Amnesty Proclamation. "a.a F. ..-sz
 These deputies claimed that they had never been leaders in the rebellion. If this is so they are just the men who would not be effect ed by any such amendment, for the President has retained the power to grant special pardon to such, and he undoubtedly means to do it, It must not be forgotten that these excepted classes are only made subjects of enquiry, and that MT. Johnson has the power to pardon ev- cry member of every class if he thinks, it safe to do so. So the plea of this deputation was really for those who are too guilty to dare ex- pect special pardon, and for them only.
 But these men had forgotten entirely to thank the President for his Amnesty Proclamation with it's promise of possible pardon. They had forgotten that they had forfeited all their rights by participating in this war against the govern ment. They come demanding their rights when really they have no rights that white man is bound to respect It must have been somewhat damaging to their young assurance for Mir. Johnson to ask them if they would feel easier to have the Amnesty Proclamation re- moved alt ogether. 5sz...4i -..1sa.aaa ga-
 But just hear the kind-hearted chivalry :- This feature interferes with the development of industry, by binding up capital, and, in this way, expresses tue poor" Is it not strange that the President does not yield to this considera- ton of humanity? He undoubtedly would, if he could see it in that light. But he looks at the philanthropists with stern eye and replies 1: . q don't think that you are so very anxious about relieving the poor. You want this clause removed so as to enable you to make money, don't you? If you are very eager to help the poor, why don't you take the surplus over the $2O,0OO you own and give it to them ? In that way you will help them and bring yourself within the benefits of the proclamation. lam free to say that I think some of you ought to be taxed on all over $2O, 900 to help the poor. D

It was of silver, hunting case No. 25lS, on one side of the case representation of a rose, several black spots on it's works, and had attached black bugle chain, the bugles connected with brass. It was the property of deceased son in the army, and was recently sent on from Newborn and of course was highly valued.

i yMoRRis.-At the close of divine service in Morris, on the Sabbath of July 2d, 1865, a committee of three were appointed to prepare resolutions relative 10 the recent death of our Pastor.
 '~ Ata meeting of the Church, July Stb, the following resolutions were offered, and by them unanimously adopted
 ResolOed, That in the recent event of an aii-wise Providence in the removal by death ef our beloved pastor, Rev. David L. Parme- lee, we recognize the hand of God in uniting and sundering the dearest earthly relations therefore .l4 fl, ResotUed, That we bow with submission to the Divine will, while we cherish with pro. found gratitude the memory of the departed in his consistent and exemplary life, arduous devotion to the best interests of this people and comparatively unbroken labors of q twenty years ministry among us. ..- Resolved. That as we recognize God in ou, past blessings, we will offer our united prayer. to the great Head of the Church, that the way may be speedily prepared for the perm anen settlement of another of His ambassadors oye, us in the work of the Gospel ministry. | ResoIred, That we tender to the bereavet widow and other relatives our sympathy ant condolence in this severe trial, and offer ou, prayers that it may be sanctifed to them, ant especially 10 the widow, that in the Loneliness of the future her pathway may be lit up witl the presence and blessing of her Savior.
 ResolDed, That this afflctior may be so i'm proved and sanctifed to us all, that it vii serve to prepare us to meet pastor and peopl in Heaven, where there is no separation.
 It was then voted that a copy of the abov be sent to the Litchfield Enquirer for inser- tion; also, voted that n copy be presented t, the bereaved widow.

naA colored man in Hartford, who served IT months in the war, informed the editor of the Hartford Times few days since, that he saw many contrabands and negro slaves at the South, and he was disappointed in their senti- ments. Many of them asked him what he came down there for to fight their old masters, and destroy their homes, and told him that he had better keep away and mind his own business.
 We are little surprised that the Times should employ the Intelligent Contraband,' af- ter spending years in trying to prove that he lies like Satan ; but we may expect some start ling revelations now-that Lee has not surrend- cred, and Richmond has not been taken that Mcclellan was elected President of the United States. and Seym our, Governor of Connecticut; and that the negroes would all vote the pro- slavery ticket if they had the privilege.

NEW HARrFoRD.--The glorious Fourth con- memorative of the day, whereon, in the name of a sovereign people was publicly adopted by the Colonial Congress, the Declaration of h. dependence of Great Britain, commemorative also of the complete suppression of confeder- atefour-years -pro-slavery- rebellion, was cnthu- siastically signalled here by cannon firing and drum beating at 2 A M; a Sunday School Festival at 3 P M., participated in by a large number of adults. and by village sociable at o'clock in the evening.
 The Declaration of Independence was read ia the church by the pastor the juvenile sing ing, which was very fine, was conducted by c Reach, superintendent and chorister. Rev. If N Gates, pastor of the church and repres entative of the town of Barkhamsted, pro- nounced most felicitous address to the child ren whose rapt attention he held for hall hour, taking them to Bunker Hill monument which he visited two weeks since, and to the army, with which he was connected for six weeks, last fall, as delegate of the Christian Commission.
 The collation., which was truly sumptuous, was spread upon tables adorned with flowers, an9 frnstnd cake of divers sorts and shapes.
 After the rcpast, at about 6 o'clock, the school, under the marshalshp of the urbane Captain w s Nash, marched to the new resi- dence of Chloe, presented her with rich loaI of cake and a bouquet; shook hand with her and sang for her entertainment two cheern songs. She expressed herself delighted with the attention of the children, and cordially thanked them for visiting her
 All the festivities of the day were consecra ted as. a thank offering to Almighty God, fol giving us our Independence in i782 and fol causing us to be victorious stable and free people in 1865. Heretofore, the Fourth o July has been to this nation pillar of cloud hereafter it shall be to it pillar of fire. Goo save the United States of America.

Our Regiment.

The priyates of the old Nineteenth Regi- ment arrived in New Haven, on Monday eve ming. They number two hundred and eighty men, and bring their muskets and coiofs.-- They are accompanied by Major Cleveland' Captain Skinner. and Lientenanis Tenn. Nun ger and Tiffany. who will return at once to the field. The officers of the regiment are retained by a decision of the Secretary oi Var to the effect that they have been mustered as officers of the Second Conn. Heavy Artillery which regiment was organized after Septem : Der, 1862 This regiment is, however to De reduced to eight companies, and the super numerary officers will be discharged. We pre- sume many of the officers will tender their res ignations, as they are doubtless anxious to re- turn to the homes that they left only from pat riotic motives.
 The delay that has transpired in the mus tering out of these men, is due to accident o neglect among the officials at Washington. The order 10 them to rendezvous at New Ha- ven, was issued on the 24th June. and Wal eight days in reaching the regiment, dls Ftance of four miles, Meanwhile they wer sent up to the forts about Chain Bridge, an' the order from the War Department for tbel mastering out did not reach them till the it July. or course the anxiety of the boys t come home increased every day, and Colone
 Hubbard made three applications to the Sec retary of War, calling his attention to tn
 matter. but received no reply. Probably som | subordinate. whose duty it was to deliver l l carried the order for their discharge in hi pocket for 8 Week or two. At any rate, tn 1 contemptible and absurd stories that have bee circulated within the last few days. with th
 intention to cast the blame of this delay upo | Colonel Hubbard and his friends, are un
 founded, and were probably started by the authors with wicked design.
 | The brave men who have brought so muc glory to our county, will probably dispers
 from the camp in New Haven to their home
 and will soon be mingling with us in the actv
 and useful walks Q! live. Every one of then | will be a hero as long as he lives.

If so, we hope the subject may be thoroughly ventilated-that We may he told how many there arc to receive in this bounty, and how much extra debt it will entail upon the town One fact is undeniable that those men who enlisted at the beginning of the war and received no bounty worthy of the name have done our country as much service and brought upon our town as much honor as any who went later, and are as deserving of our I substantial gratitude. -,t. t. .gH '-,7 - Deaf Mutes and others interested in their welfare are invited to attend Service at St Michaels Church, Litchfeld, on Friday eve ming, the 2lst inst. at 7 30 o'clock, P.
