END OF TIHE WAR.
Surrender OF Dick Taylor 10 Cen.

Gen. A. ]. Smith, with his command, occu-
pied Montgomery, Ala, on the 25th ult.,
and Gen. Steele occupied Selma on the
eth.
On Sundy last Gen. Candy met Dick Tay
lor fifteen miles from Mobile, and opened
negotiations for the surrender of the rebel
forces. Nothing Decisive was determined
upon, but Taylor was allowed several days
to consider the proposition. 1t is believed
he has acceded to the terms before this, as
he must have been influenced to that end
by the surrender of Johnston.
New YORK, May 8.
The Times has Washington despatch,
which says:
'In!ormation was received at army head
quarters to-day. of the final and complete
surrender of Dick Taylor's forces in Alaba-
ma and Mississippi to Gen. Candy. 1t is a
remarkable fact that this news and other
dispatches from Fen. Wilson were received
by telegraph direct from macon, Ca, to this
city. Gen wilson is still in Macon, and the
telegraph lines through north and South
Carolina and Georgin are intact. The es-
cape of Davis is, therefore, next to impossi-

reports that the rebel troops surrendered b,

the objects of intense hate, and it is as mucl
as their lives are worth to venture ava,
from the lines. Quite number have beei
murdered by their saldiers, who seem to b
tempted to murder them to get possession
of the small sums of specie which the officer
are understood to possess. The rebe

The Arraignment Of Davis and his
Agent i'm Canada.

In due time all the developments in the
possession of the Government will doubtless
be presented to the public Although much
has already been divulged, an immense
mass of damning testimony has been scru-
pulously Withheld for the purpose of ena-
bling those who are investing the wide
ramitications of the most fearful crime of
history to forge every link of their chain of
convulsive evidence.
The disclosures, which are familiar to
every citizen, are amply sufficient to prove
that Booth was assisted by a large number
or accomplices whose prolonged devotion
to the Confederate service can only be ex-
planned by the fact tnat they were paid
emissaries of Davis, acting under his oli-
cial orders as spies, mail-carriers, blockade
runness, pirates, incendiaries, and finally
as assassins.
The murder of Presiden. johnson was
as deliberately planned as that of his la
mented predecessor. He owes his preserva-
tion from the contemplated attack of Atze-
roth, only to that bravo's want of resolution,
or to that purely accidental circumstances.
His destruction was as confidently anticipa-
ted as that of Lincoln and Seward, and as
carefully provided for Thus certainly

ed Chief, must remember that villainy is at
best blind demon, and that the failure OF

upon his own responsibility" and that lie
formed only part of the internal machinery
controlled and directed by Davis through
the intermediate aid of his agents in Canada
The official records discovered at the rebeI

WASHINGTON.
IMMIGRATION TO MEXICO
The Preparations On EoOt-EErcir
Extent nnd Importance.
WASHINGTON, May 7, 1865.

AShiNpioNj may Z, iCoo.
Within the last few days there has ap-
peared in the leading columns of our daily
newspapers many mysterious advertisements
calling upon returned officers and soldiers,
and upon any one, indeed who is willing to
emigrate to Mexico. The most glowing in
duccments have been held out. The warm
pleasant climate, the exhubcrant fertility of
the soil, the kindly blue skies and the wealth
"of Ormus and of Ind" beneath the surface
of the earth, have all been limited at so
strongly that great many will, no doubt,
be induced to reply to them, even if they
should afterwards demur to the conditions
offered them. These advertisements have
not been confined to one or two cities, but
have appeered in journals North, South,
East, and West, so that it would appear
that the company or association, or what
ever it is, is by no means small, pnenergetic,
or poor. 1t assumes the initials NJ L. c..
Mexican Emigrant Company. and has esta-
blished officers in every leading city. The
following is copy OF its advertisement ir
a journal here:
MENlCO-To ALL OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS.
Now that our war is over, all who wish
TO emigrate to Mexico, in accordance with
the Mexican decree, will call at 25S Penn.

300 f street, Washington, d. c.

Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other cities.
Office hours at 257 Pennsylvania avenue,
between nine and four.
This advertisement does not say anything
about the climate, etc, but the following
from a New York paper of Friday does:
MEXICO, MAMMALIAN, AND MONROE DOCTRINE.

National Debts and u. =. Stocks

The creation of national debts is not
modern improvement, but the ability Or q
great nation to provide for great debt, and
to make it the most convenient and best
form Of personal property, is modern Won
der. The debt OF Great Britain was begun
by raising million sterling by loan in 1902,
and when her great contest with Louis XIV.
was terminated, the debt had reached fifty
millions. Many statesmen and economists
were then alarmed at the great burden which
had been imposed upon the industry of the
country, but when the war of the Austrian
succession had swelled this amount to eighty
millions, Macaulay says that historians and
)rators pronounced the case TO be desperate.
But when war again broke out, and the
national debt was rapidly carried up to one
hundred and forty millions, men of theory
md business both pronounced that the fatal
lay had certainly arrived. David Hume
aid that although, by taxing its energies
the utmost, the country might possibly
i've through it, the experiment must never
e repeated even small increase might
e fatal Granville said tho nation must
ink under it unless some portion of the
)ad was borne by the American Colonies
nd the attempt to impose this load produc-
the war of the revolution, and, instead of
iminiShiRg, added another hundred millions
the burden. Again, says Macaulay, was
ngland given over, but again she was more
rosperous than ever before. But when at
le close of her NapOeonlc wars in 1916,
lis debt had been sweled up to the enor-
ous sum of over eight hundred millions
erling, or four thousand three hundred
illiOn dollars, or nearly one half the entire
"operty of the United Kingdom, the stout
t heart, the firmest believer in national
'ogress and national development, might
ell have been appalled,. But in the very
ce Of this mountain of obligation, to say
)thing of her vast colonial possessions the
'operty of the British nation has been more
an trebled, and her debt is now charge
but 12l per cent. against it. All that
reat Britain has done in paying her debt,
shall do. and more, with ours. We have
st territories untouched by the plow,

Can Take Care OfHIimscIG.

In recent speech, Ex-Governor Wright,
of Indiana, said:
'As to the cant about the negro's ability
to take care of himself he had these facts
to relate, and he would do so without COM
ment: In 1862 the Rebel Legislature of
South Carolina raised committee to inquire
into the expediency of enslav:ng the 5000
free negros of Charleston. The committee
reported against it, and stated that those
5000 free negros paid into the treasury of
Charleston annually $25, 900, and that their
property amounted to $l.5OO,000. Out of
that amount of property 100000 worth of
it was composed of slaves That the 1000
free negros of New Orleans in 1860 were
worth as much per capita as the white peo-
pie of Louisiana; that these free negros had
their own schools, their own benevolent
societies, &c. These facts, he contended
proved that the free negro was capable of
taking care of himself He also stated that
a lady who owned 500 negros in 1860 told
him that she had lost them al but 200 by
the beginning of 1864. That year she made
a contract with them to cultivate her farm
on the shares, and that last year, under such
"a system, where the negro was working for
himself as we'll as for his mistress, the 200
made her more money than 500 had done in
slavery.

ANTHRACITE CoAL.-The Miners Journal
of Pottsvile says: AT present prepared
coal cannot be sold in quantity at SO a ton,
and much of the article sent to market un-
sold will not net the producer $3.50 per ton.
Much of the coal going to market not sold
to the Government is being pile6 at Port
Richmond, and in a short time it is antici-
pated that the wharVes will be completely
filled. This will have tendency, of course,
to keep prices lower. To sum up, the trade
is prostrated, and nothing but a reduction
all round in prices can ineuse into il again
renewed life and yigor."
