The Reward for Assassination.

In summing up the evidence against
the assassination conspirators, Judge
Advocate Bingham stated: 7'.
THAT there was cooperation be-
tween the several accused in the exc
cution of the conspiracy, is as clearly
established by the testimony as is the
fact that Abraham Lincoln was killed
and murdered by John Wilkes Booth.
The evidence shows that all Of the &C.
cused, save Mudd and Arnold, were in
Washington on the l4th of April, the
day of the assassination, together
with John Wilkes Booth and John Ii.
Surratt; that on that day Booth had
a secret interview with the prisoner
Mary L. Surratt; that Immediately
thereafter she went to Surrattsville to
perform her part of the preparation
necessary to the successful execution
of the conspiracy, and did make that
preparation that John II. Surratt
had arrived here from Canada, notify
ing the parties that the price to be
paid for the great crime had been
provided for at least in part by the
deposit receipts of April 6, for $780,
600, procured by Thompson, of the On
tario Bank, Montreal, Canada; that
he was also prepared to keep watch
or strike a blow, and ready for the
contemplated flight"
Mrs. Surratt was proved to be one
of the guiltiest, because one OF. the
most active, of the villainous plotters
Of the assassination. ..

The sapient Washington correspon-
dents who have been officiating of late
as oracles for the executive branch OF
the general government, announced,
iu behalf of President Johson, few
days ago, that he would disapprove
the findings of the Military Commits
sion by which the assassination con-
spirators were tried. At any rate, if
any of these criminals should be SEN
fenced to death, their sentences would
be disapproved, and the parties given
over to the civil authorities for trial.
President johnson has been SO DISC
bliging as to fail in performing the
role laid down for him by the cores
as will be seen by the &C.
count of the execution of the murder
ers which we publish in another COL
umn. The copperhead press sought to
gain control of the President. and Sc
cure fat Offices, by hattery. They will
now commence abusing him like

The Atlantic Gable.

On Monday of this week it was ex-
pected that the Great Eastern would
sail from Valencia, Ireland, having on
board the whole of the new Atlantic
Telegraph Gable. for the purpose of
laying the cable. 1t is hoped that it
will be successfully laid by the first of
August, in which case the Eastern and
Western Hemispheres will be brought
into immediate communication, never
again, probably. to be long separated
by the wide expanse Of ocean. The
arrangements for laying the cable are
said to be very complete, and every
confidence is felt in the triumph of the
great enterprise.

others in the meridian Of life, all con-

and debates gave abundant evidence
of mental culture and deep sympathies
of the heart. The honored Governor
of Connecticut, Mr.. Buckingham, pre-
sided with great skill. He remarked,
at the close of tie meeting, that he es-
teemed the honor of being Moderator

The Rebel Archives.

Some light is thrown upon the hlth-
erto secret history of the initial pro-
ceedings of JEFF. Davis Southern Con-
federacy, by Gen. Wilson's recent
capture in Georgia of documents and
archives containing record of the
proceedings of the rebel provisional
government at Montgomery, Alabama.
They show that the rebels lost no
time. when once they got fairly at
work, in organizing their provisional
government, which they had in full
operation in less than five weeks from
the assembling of their national con-
gress in convention. In the work of
framing their constitution the docu-
ments show they had considerable
tinkering and discussion. There was
a strong feeling in favor of naming
their southern establishment, "The
Republic of Washington" which was
only defeated by majority OF one
vote in favor of the title of Confcd-
crate States of America" There
were long debates over the PROPOSE
tons to insert in the preamble of the
constitution, recognition ofthe divini-
ty of both the old and new testaments
Of the Bible, and in the body thereof a
provision enforcing the observance OF
the Christian Sabbath. The former is
understood to have been voted down
out of respect to judah p. Benjamin,
and the latter in Difference to the wish
es of the people of Louisiana and
Texas.

A few days ago an Englishman
went to Paris to take out patent in
France for an invention to detect pick
pockets. He entered an omnibus and
sat by the side of an elegantly dress
ed lady, with a very charming face.
Soon the Englishman saw an express
sion Of distress and dismay come ov-
err that face, and felt a Juggling at his
pocket. With cruel smile he looked
at the. fair creature, who, crimson
with shame, implored him to let her
60. With true gallantry he released
her hand, and she thereupon stopped
the omnibus, leaped out and ran down
the street with most unfeminine speed.
The Englishman was highly pleased
at the success of his device, which
consists of strong calico diaphram
stretched across the pocket. with an
India rubber opening that expands to
permit the entrance of a strange hand
but will not do so to permit it to with
draw.

Stars in my Country's Sky.

Are ye all there Are ye all there,
Stars of my country's sky
Are ye all there? Are ye all herep
In your shining homes on highf
Count us Count us, was their answer,
As they dazzled on my view,
In glorious perihelion,
Amid their field of blue.
l cannot count ye rightly;
There's cloud with table rim.
cannot make your number out,
For my eyes with tears are dim.
Oh bright and blessed Angel,
On white wing floating by,
Help me to count, and not to miss
One star In my countrys sky
Then the Angel touched mine eyelids,
And touched the frowning cloud;
And its sable rim departed,
And it fled with murky shroud.
There was no missing Pleiad, -. &
Mid all that sister race !;
The Southern Cross gleam'd radiant forth
And the Pole-Star kept its place.
Then knew it was the Angel
Who woke the hymning strain
That at our dear Redeemer's birth
Peal'd out DER Bethlehem's plain;
And still its heavenly key-tone
My listening country held,
For all her consolidated stars
The diapason swel'd, $780,.

The Abolition Of Slavery.

Slavery now exists in only TIVE
States, Kentucky and Delaware, which
in 1860 held the following number Of
bondsmeu Kentucky, 25,4S3 Del
aware, 1898; total, 227,2sl. The
fortunes of war and the demands of
the service have, however, reduced
the number to fully one-half, SO that
there are now not more than about
one hundred thousand slaves in the
United States, Western Virginia hav-
ing virtually freed hers. Strong ef-
forts are now being made in Kentucky
to elect a Legislature favorable to the
amendment, and it is asserted that
they will be crowned with success.

he was in favor of hanging JEFF Da-
Wis, Breckinridge, Benjamin, the whole
rebel Cabinet, and every member Of
the rebel government who resigned
his seat in Cnogress to take part in
the accursed rebellion, and until the
Government did this it had not COM
pleted the job it undertook to do. He
said that although formerly a Demo.

would give his "mules to see jeff

will be the fate of the arch traitor.
