The LAST SURRENDER.-It has
been thought that the last of Gen
eral Lees army had made its final
surrender long ago; but this was
not SO. On Wednesday, four Con-
federate soldiers, with names and
descriptive lists as follows: Anthony
MOnkitS, Company l., Fifty-second
Georgia Infantry, Third Aramy
Corps, Army ofNorthern Virginia;
Thomas Wells, do,; James Brin-
berier, do; and Alien Tewksberry,
Forty-third Louisiana, do; entered
Petersburg, Va, with their muskets
and accoutrements, stacked arms
in front of headquarters, sent in
word that they were the remnant
of the Army of Northern Virginia,
and that they wished to surrender
upon the conditions accorded to
the main body. They represented
that after the Appomattox Court
house fight they were "cut off," and
to surrender, hid themselves in a
cave on the banks of the Apo
mattox River, some miles from Pc
tersburg, and have subsided ever
since upon fish from the river,
corn, "stray pigs caught away from
their mothers" and whatever they
could gather by securing The coun-
try. AT length, learning from a
colored man that the Confedracy
was certainly "gone up" they
thought better of their first de-
termination, and accordingly gave
themselves up. They were very
ragged and filthy, but the citizens
furnished them with new suits, and
the commandant, who was amused
at the incident sent them Off to
their homes rejoicing.

Showing Their Hand.

Hon. Horace Maynard, of Ten
nessee, made speech at Athens.
in that State, on the 21st inst. in
which he said: ..- s...-..
II am an Abolitionist, and have
always been one. Twas accused
of being one when l first emigra-
ted to this State. The charge was
just; | was full and running over
with Abolibonism, but ] denied it
for policy's sake. l am proud to-
day that / have been classed among
that prosecuted set, and deem it
the highest compliment to be de-
nounced as such. And l tell you,
gentlemen, that in a short time all
this complaint about negro equal
ity will be done away with. Some
months since and it was said that
the negio would not be suffered to
testify in your courts-thathis oath
would not be granted him. But
how stands matters to-day9 He is
not only permitted, to testify in
your courts with impunity, but
there is every evidence that he will
soon be on a social equality with
the white man in your State. Yes,
gentlemen, in a short time he will
marry and intermarry in your fam
lilies. 1t is q little Objectionable
today, but you will soon get over
this, and the prosecuted negro will
be welcomed to your parlors. This
will be the result of political and
social changes of the next few
months" v.-...- .o.
The Hon, gentleman acknowl-
edges he played the hypocrite for
policy's sake, just as many North
ern candidates for Congress are now
doing, who deny they are for negro
suffrage. BY means of this hypoc-
ricy the Radicals expect to carry
the next Congress. Maynard tells
what the Radicals expect from sue
cess in the approaching Congress-
ional elections. He says "the re-
suit Of the political and social
changes of the next few months
will be"-what? "zHe negro, IN d
short time, acW marry and inter
marry az yourJaniles." at is a lit.
tie objectionable tO-day,"he proceed,
"but you will soon get over this,
and the prosecuted negroes will be
acelco0'ed IN yOur paEOr8." Po-
litical and social equality of the
two races is the real platform of
the Radicals. Maynard states it
clearly. 1t is put out of sight here
and there to suit special localities {;
but success at the polls will make
it public everywhere.

4 Shot ab Dead DuckS.

The President has again fired II
shot into the "Dcad Duck party,
and that too at a time when it was
just about to emerge from its diff
culties, by the endorsement of the
Amendment to the Constitution.
which several Speakers at the Re
publican State Convention, said
the President would not oppose; yet
he has come out in Il message,
which we publish, and says he is
not in favor Of it. This puts the
Abolition party in opposition to
the President, and the great ques-
ton now is, shall the doctrines of
Thadeus Stevens, and the Congress
that voted for the enlranchiSement
of the negroes in the District Of
Columbia, be endorsed, or shall the
States be again allowed to resume
their proper relations to the Coy
ernment. .-Ha'
The Union party of Ohio says it
is in favor of the action of Con
gress. The Democrats support
Johnson's policy. One says the
Union shall not be restored until
we have the negroes TO vote.
The other says we are in favor of
the immediate restoration Of the
Union. l.f atr.l.r...,

THE President has ascertained
that some of the Chicago appli-
cants for office were in the habit Of
talking Johnson to him and Radi-
calism at home, and so he has de-
temined to make no appointments
for Chicago until he has unques-
tionable,., evidence that he is ap,
pointing friends and not mere pre-
tenders. The Federal office hold
ers who shall either directly or in.
directly labor to promote the cleo
ton of the Radicals will secure fol
themselves decapitation. On that

An Exception to the General Rule

An Exception to the General Rule.
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, re-
Gently had a public reception at
Atchison. The speech of welcome
was delivered by Hon. John j. In
gals, who, in the course of his re-
marks, said.
"In an era of corruption, and
profligacy without parallel in the
annals of crime, when honesty was
u byword, when infdelity in rei-
gion, bribery in politics, and peril
dy in private affairs, seemed to
have paralyzed socity and poisoned
its pure streams at their fountain
head, they Pomeroy's constitu-
entsl have beheld you with an un-
tarnished reputation, which even
your enemies have not dared to in
suit"
The st. Louis Republican says
that is sweet on Pomeroy, but
rather hard on the Radical party.

Republican Love for the Soldier

Republican Love for the Soldier,
We should think the Republi-
ans of Ohio would blush to the
eyes when anything is said about
their love of the soldier. We don't
opine that there ever was a class
Of greater hypocrites than the
leaders of the Republican party
That the masses have an earnest
and unsellish regard for them, we
do not doubt, but that matters not.
They have but little to do with the
wire-worlling Of q convention
They are petted for their votes
that's all. AT the Republican Con-
vention held at Columbus on July
the 21st ult., a dozen or more OF
soldiers were candidates for the
Offices but they were slaughtered
in the house Of their protcSsecl
friends. Yes, their prottSSed
friends. 1t is all in profession.-
The willy, intriguing, wireworking;
thimble-rigging, double dealing
and grasping civilian political dem
agogues cheated the soldiers out OF
the Offices.
The Democrats, who hold with
the evangelist, that faith, without
work, is dead, nominated brave

Court, and only one civilian--al.

warmly. The State owes a debt Of
gratitude to the old man which
she can never pay. Had it moi
been TOR his able management Of
his little forces during the war, the

found a silver spoon, a ger-ring,
or a silk dress in the State; and it;

to stern. This none can gainsay

VINO RETARDED THE WAR.-It
has been charged that the Democ-

in a speech at Indianapolis, "that
the successful ending of the war
was retarded at least one year by
whisky-that drunken Captains,
Oolonels and Generals, presided
over by a drunken Congress, were
responsible for the useless, slaugh.
ter of thousands Of brave men,"
