Horse Flesh Coming Down,

The sudden stopping of the cause o.
the immense consumption of horse fesi
has produced great stagnation in the
horse flesh market, and prices have fallen
off twenty five per cent within.a week
Horses valued week ago at $3.50, can
now be bought for $ll0 to S120, and
artillery horses, for which the Govern
ment paid $3.50, can now be had at s12O
This reduction in prices mainly applies
to the class of horses usually sold for
army purposes. Fast horses run at higher
figures but coach horses are lower than
they were two weeks since.

tG~The suppressed testimony, taken
before the military Commission, which is
engaged in trying the conspirators at
Washington, D. c., is now being publish
ed. 1t establishes, we think, without the
shadow of doubt, the completely of JEFF
Davis, and the leading rebels, Breckin-
ridge, Thompson, Clay, Tucker, &c, &C.,
in the assassination of the President and
clearly settles the point that not devil
of them will have full justice measured
out to him until six foot of hemp has
swung him as a CHASTITY spectacle for the
world to look upon, We will publish a
portion of the testimony in our next.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1865-06-08

Continued developments resulting from
the trial at Washington, go to show that
the assassination of the President was part
of general plot, springing from sys-
tematic arrangement with the whole SET
of rebel agents in Canada, and their asso-
ciates at Richmond, to destroy the lives
and property Of the people of the North.
It was originated in Richmond and
arranged in Canada, and there is no doubt
but that all the prominent actors in the
rebellion were cognizant of the various
schemes Of arson, murder, &C., that were
attempted against u.s. The great plot to
burn the hotels in New York, the St
Adams raid and other movements started
by the detached service" system. all arc
doubtless chargeable to the same source.
The investigation in the yellow fever
conspiracy, in Canada, affords material
evidence of the completely Of the leading
rebels in these. villainies. Blackburn
appears to have been the daily associate
of Clay, Tucker, Sanders and Thomp-
son, aud Hyams, the man who was the in
strument to carry out the terrible plot,
was congratulated by them for his sue
cess on his return to Canada This was
direct plot to assassinate' the President
by injecting him with a fatal disease, and
although different from the plan taken
by Booth, was not less atrocicus than the
act Of the latter, These wretches, school
ed amidst the evil influences of slavery
for the maintenance and support of which
they had betrayed the country which had
always nurtured and protected them, had
become so sunken in depravity by their
crimes that nothing seemed too black and
horrible for them to do, which would
enable them to accomplish their purpose.
Guilty of every other crime, it is not at
all singular that after agreeing to give
Hyams 100000 they should cheat him
out of all of it but 800, which they paid
him.
jeff Davis, as appears from the evi-
dencc taken at the trial of the couspira-
tors last week, expressed his qualification
at the assassination, and said that if "And-
rev johnson, the beast, and Secretary
Stanton had also been killed the Job would
have been complete" Jeff. appears to
have bad opinion of Stanton, 10 which
respect there is striking resemblance be-
tween him and some of the Copperhead
newspapers. As the evidences of the
rebel leaders accumulate, and the enormi-
ty of their crimes day by day becomes
more manifest, these papers are redoubl-
ing their cries for..mercy and magnanimity
towards these outlaws, and even go SO far
as to charge the universal popular feel
ing of our people which demands their
punishment, as being one of vengeance
and blood .thirstiness. This is humiliat-
ing and well calculated to arouse serious
apprehension for the future, if such senti-
ments should be allowed to prevail. Of
what avail is law, and what security have
we for our persons or property or even
for our National existence if crimes such
as these shall go unpunished

Editorial Change.

Herald. Mr.. E. Harold Mott succeeds him
We part with friend Cotter with considera.
bic regret. 1t is true he was rather coppe.
ry for comfort, but we always looked upon
that rather as misfortune than fault; for.
as with our neighbcr, the Squire, in his sup
port of Buchanan and the Lecompton swim.
die, he thought he had to outrage conscience
to save "the party" We always regretted
the fix in which Cotter's ambition to serve
the party placed him, though we could not re-
sist the desire to have little fun with him.
In whatever vocation he may chose to settle
himself, we wish him foll measure of ne
cuniary success To the new editor. Mr..
Mott, We extend the right 0EF of fellowship,
and cordial welcome into the ranks of the
fraternity. The get up ofthe paper, and the
ability displayed in its editorial department
prove that the Herald has a master hand at
the helm. In every thing save it's politics
it is model paper; and in every thing but
its politics we wish it the most abundant sue
cess.

Returned.

Company G, l42nd Regiment, P. V.
returned home, under honorable dis
charge, on Monday last. This company
was recruited under Captain Haviland,
from Monroe and Pike counties, and
marched to the seat of war in August,
1862, from Harrisburg, Eighty-fve men
strong. Its first brush with the enemy
was at Fredericksburg, under Burnsides,
where it came out of the contest with
nineteen sound men, the rest having been
killed wounded or taken prisoners. Since
that unfortunate affair it has been in eve
~ battle and considerable skirmish, in
which the army of the Potomac, to which
the Company was attached, took part
At the battle Of Gettysburg, the Compa-
ny marched in nineteen men strong, and
came out with but three men. Since
that fight the number of men was aug
mented by the exchange of Prisoners and
by recruiting, so that when mustered out
of service last week, some twenty-three
men answered to roll call. In every en-
gagement in which the company partici-
pated it seems to have been Its lot to
stand the brunt of battle, for it lost heav-
ier, in each, than any company from this
section of country.
The return of the company brings joy
TO many household Warm greetings,
long held in store for the loved ones will
gush forth to bid them hearty welcome
home. But its return also brings un-
dcscribable sadness. OF the eighty-fve
stalwart men who marched forth with all
the bright anticipations engendered by
youthful patriotism, large, very large,
proportion remain behind to enrich the
flower beds which natures God causes to
spring up to hide the spot where man
met man in strife. Many household
will miss the form it SO long hoped to well
come, and many heart will be bowed
down in sadness at the fate of those SO
Ioved, bnt now lost to earth forever
But it will be a mitigation even to these
that so many were spared amid the dan
gers of battle and all will unite in bid
ding the returned Gods speed and
prosperous voyage Ger the peaceful sea
Of life.
1t is pleasant privilege to us, to be
authorized to say that in every position
in which it has been placed, Company G
Aas faithfully performed its duty. Its
men in the start. were filled with patri-
cts desire to suppress rebellion and re-
store the country in its integrity; and in
every step through the unparalleled war
which has just closed, each man acted as
though he felt that on him, in a great
measure, depended the result Where
all were SO faithful it would be invidious
to particularize. Suffice it to say that
all were patriots, all were heroes, and
that each man proved himself a worthy
soldier under the glorious Stripes and
Stars of our country.
Ustil such time as a more fitting test;-
monial of regard for the men, and appre-
citation of their services, can be arranged
by the people whom they have so nobly
represented on the battle field, and serv.
ed, we bid them most hearty welcome
home.

Rate of Interest.

at the last session. of the Legislature
1t was enacted that it is lawful for a party
to take, in addition to the six per cent.
interest on money loaned, an amount suf-
ficlent to pay the taxes assessed on moneys
at interest. This is only fair. Hereto
fore, and now, on every merchantable
article the purchaser was and is charged
the additional of all taxes levied on such
productions. Hence it is no more than
right that fnanciers and bankers should
have equal privileges with manufacturers
and merchants.

The proposition to pay off the national
debt by voluntary subscription, which was
first originated about two months since,
seems to have again taken possession of
the minds Of some of our rich men. They
look upon the proposition as really one
ofpecuniary advantage, since, by present
outlay, it wonld relieve them from the
heavy burdens which they will have to
bear in the shape of taxation for many
years, and which will very soon amount:to
much more than the sums originally sub
scribed by them. The plan is to divide
the shares, into, say, 0,000, at s10,-
900 each. OF course money shares will
be taken by combination, several per
sons uniting to secure one The idea is
to obtain all the subscriptions before any
thing is to be paid, the motto being "the
whole or none" and there being no in
tention that stingy men perfectly able to
subscribe shall hold back under the hope
that the debt will be partially paid off
for their benefit. The list is headed by
Cornelius Vanderbilt, of New Y ork, whose
wealth amounts it is said to twenty mil
lions of dollars, who has subscribed $780,
900. Bonner of the New York Ledger.
has subscribed $4,000, and Bennett Of
the Herald the same amount. In Phil.
adelphla there are several $40 900 sub.
scriptions, amongst them that of George
w. Childs of the Ledger, Jessup and
Moore and Others

What Will be Done with Leading Rebels

The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune says 1T is believed that the
further intention of the Government on
the amnesty question, as far as it has
taken form, is to indict for treason all or
most of the persons excepted from the
proclamation, and when they are arrested
to try them for treason, and on convic
ton to sentence them severally to be ham
ged by the neck until dead. It is also
proposed to keep vigilant eye on those
embraced in the amnesty who shall make
themselves exceptions to it by refusing
to take the oath which it prescribes, and
when such persons shall become obnox-
ious and mischievous by their pro-sla-
veryism and disloyalty, they will be arres
ted and tried for treason in manner
similar to the above mentioned class, and,
like them, sentenced to death. 1t is be-
lieved that when such persistent rebels
shall have been convicted, and sentenced
to die felon's death for treason, they
will be deprived of all power to make them
selves dangerous, even if the President
should see fit to pardon the most of them,
or remit the penalties against them. a
convicted traitor, who is at large by favor
of Executive clemency, will be very
harmless creature, it is argued, whereas
many of the returning rehels are more
pompous and self complacent than before
the war, refusing to speak to old friends
who have been Unionists, and organic
ing into political factions to resume con-
troll of the Southren States in the name
of State sovereignty and slavery. These
hcresies are not yet gwen up, but they
form the nucleus of partisan leagues
throughout the border States, which are
full of danger. They not only vote a.
gainst the policy of the Administration,
but, as in Virginia, combine through
three quarters Of the State to ignore the
Government, and defy and violate the
law. The trials and convictions spoken
Of as included in the prospective policy
of the Administration, will take place in
the District Courts Of the border and
Southern States as fast as they are organiz-
ed This will probably be their first
work /; and it will be prosecuted with no
feeling of malice or revenge, but solely
to vindicate law and restore order in the
land. Some of these trials will soon take
place in Virginia, where they are needed,
and where the outrageous conduct of the
traitors has already convinced most of the
clearest-headed men that the return to
civil government has been premature.
