The Last of the Assassins.

The history Of the Surratt affair,
with the official correspondence, is
deeply interesting The President
promptly responded to the cali of the
House for The papers in the case.
These are very voluminous, and show
how, under various disguises, Sur
-ratt continued to battle the vigilance
of these in pursuit of, him, until at
last he was tracked to Egypt and ar
rested at Alexandria. .e'r
Mr.. Bouthwell's assertion that the
Administration knew Of the murder
er's whereabouts for months past, is
thus made good. But there is moth
ing to show that he could have been
captared sooner, or that there was
any disposition to further his escape.
On The contrary, there seems to have
been commendable vigilance en- the
part Of all concerned in tracing out
the criminal and at last hunting him
down.
What may be developed upon the.
trial of Surratt, is only as yet mat
ter of conjecture. 1t is said that he
admitted the completely of JEFF. Da-
Wis in the assassination plot. II so,
that, fact will doubtless be made
known. It is said he threw out hints
that seem in some way to implicate
President johnson. From these it
would as yet be rash and unjust to
make up any unfavorable opinion.
Only one thing is certain-and that
is that the efforts of the Government
to bring this last of the assassins to
justice. are, so far, worthy of COM
and praise.-Caa. Gaz.

CIScrssATT, Dec. 10.
The -four market has been without
animation the past week, and prices
have not materially changed. Prices
run from $500 to Sl4,50. Wheat is
in moderate demand by country
millers at about former prices. Old
corn continues to decline, and new
is in better favor for shipment and
local consumption. New is quoted
at 60c in bulk. Oats are active st
full prices, with an upward tendency.
They closed active and firm at 52c
at 53c. In Ceoper's stuff the market
is quiet, with light receipts, and no
activity in the demand. Prices are
nominally the same. In Leather
there is quiet and easy market,
with no material change in quota
tions. Hogs sold at $500 to S6,35
gross, and s7,25 to $3.50 net, with
the pens well cleaned out.

H We give below several ex-
pressions of public opinion at the
Southon the political questions ofthe
day. III. S. Foete advocates the call
ing Of National Convention as the
panacea for all our troubles. He
says:
"All interests would be duly con-
sidered. The true condition of eve
ry portion of the country would be
ascertained. misunderstanding of
every kind would be corrected
Prejudices would be made to take
flight before the appraised voice of
reason and humanity The very
spirit in which the federal Constitu
tion was framed would be renewed
and spread abroad from ocean to
ocean. If Constitutional Amend
ments should be adopted, they would
be adopted after grave deliberation;
after free and decorous interchange
of opinions and feelings; and when
formally embodied in the present
organic law of the republic, would
attract the regard and command the
cheerful obedience of the whole
American people. The Constitution
if amended in this mode, and under
such circumstances as have been
specified, would be as much respect
ed as it was by our fathers in the
first days of the republic. Constitu-
tional Amendments, thus agreed up
on, would impose no sense of section
al discredit anywhere; call into exis-
tence no rancorous resentment on
account of oppression exercised, of
equality denied, justice refused, and
the principles of noble magnanimi-
ty shamelessly disregarded.
The New Orleans Times is not at
all pleased with the proposition to
substitute universal amnesty and iA-
patial suffrage for the pending
Amendment, and says eft:
''We object to any beginning of
this kind, because it would be sell
ling the clemency of the govern
ment for the adoption of a measure
of very doubtful utility. The par,
don Of offenders is q matter, we
think, which should be decided on
its own merits We are eminently q
commercial people, but clemency is
only graceful when it is exerted
voluntarily. 1t should neyer-so
long as the world stands-be made
a matter of traffic. Any proposition
TO change the basis ofrepresentation
and TO extend tho right of suffrage
from the white to the colored
race-a people profoundly ignorent,
making the right to vote depend up
on the intelligence of the voter
however strange the proposition
may be, is yet once to be considered
on its own merits, and Independently
of anv consideration of barter or
gain. When it comes to be fairly
considered by the people of the
United States, there will probably be
found as serious an opposition to II
among the reasonable men of the
North, who wish to advance the in
terests of the colored race, as among
those of the South. At any rate, let
this proposition, like all others which
are proposed to an enlightened
people, in an age of civilization, be
addressed to their sense of right and
justice, and net to the worst and
most selfish passions that can actu
ate the human breast"

The Congressional trumpet rings

notes. They call to a conflict which
will be made final, to victory which

There seems to be general dispesi-
ton to pay little attention to Andrew
johnson personally, to waste no
words upon him, but to proceed
quietly to a thorough investigation
of his acts. Beyond question he
will be stripped of all power to in
jure his country, and left as helpless
to harm as q serpent without fangs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.
The temper of Congress, as devel-
oped on the FIRST day of the second
session of this Congress, was fully
in consonance with the preliminary
caucus held on Saturday evening"
Both Houses went to work at once,
without even waiting for the Mes
sage, to restrict the patronage and
power of the Executive for the future
and to revoke the license granted in
the past.
AS evidence of the determination
of the House was exhibited in the
passage of a bill, without any debate,
repeating the thirteenth section OF
the act of July, 1862, which gives
the President the power to pardon
persons who had engaged in rebel
lion. There was only twenty-nine
Democratic votes against it. As it
will probably pass the Senate. the
President will be consequently limi-
ted to the Constitutional power 20
pardon only after trial and convic-
ton.
Bills for the meeting of the For
tieth Congress, and depriving the
Executive of the appointments un-
der the Internal Revenue and Gov
ernment Printing system, were in
troduced.
In the Senate Mr.. Sherman intro
duced a bill to make it q penal Of
fense to pay any man as an officer OF
the Government after his rejection
by the Senate.
Then came up q bill from Mr..
Williams, of Oregon, to prevent re-
movals without the consent of the
Senate. These two measures were
ordered to lie upon the table until
after the formation of the Senate
committees.
