TIE Assassination PLoT. The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger
writes
"On the 9th instant, eleven days ago, | tel
egraphed you that the committee had conclu-
ded to abandon the charge against Davis Of
completely in the assassination plot, and this
intelligence is now semi-officially confirmed
! will here add, in addition my dispatch Of
the 9th, that the committee has not been able
to secure any additional evidence of a trust
worthy character to that already in its pos
session, and which was given at the time Of
the trial Of Mrs. Surratt and her accomplices.
This evidence it is known, the President dis
believes, and hence the unwillingness Of the
committee to recommend the trial of Davis
upon it,

GDr Within the past eight or ten days, the
export of gold from the United States has been
greater than ever was known in the same
length of time; last week some ten million OF
dollars and on the 23rd instants from New
York alone, more than five millions of dollars
The price OF gold which for long while stood
at l26, or thereahout, is now about l3s. The
cause of this is said TO be the return of large
quantities of United States bonds from Eu-
rope to be sold.

THE SENTINEL
ROCKVILLE, MD.
Friday Morning .........May ao, 1866.


Eis- On Tuesday evening last, negro from
Georgetown, named Barker, was arrested, in
this place, for using outrageous and indecent
language In the streets, such as was calculated
TO create mobs and riots, particularly in the
present state Of the public mind. He was
taken before BERNARD MONDAY, Esq, Justice
of the Peace and, for want Of bail, committed
to Jail, with an understanding that his case
would be heard on Wednesday morning, at
ten O'Clock. For reasons that we know not,
il was not heard ON Wednesday. On Thurs
day, without notice to the District Attorney
or the prosecuting witnesses, writ of haIeas
corpus was got out by JOHN G. ENGLAND, Esq,
the attorney for Barker, and Judge BOWIE
came TO Rockville 10 hear the case. WIN. ".
BoUIc, Esq, the States Attorney, and Dr.. A..
II. SoAiuERs, the principal witness, were
absent, having gone to a sale in the country.
THOMAS ANDERSON, ESD, the junior partner Of
Mr.. BoUIc, attended, and asked postponement
ill evening, for the return of the witness,
which was refused. He then made the follow
ing affidavit
g On this oath day Of May, 1866, personally
appeared Thomas Anderson in open Court
and made oath on the Holy Evangely Of
Almighty God, that he believes that A. II.
Sommers will testify, that he heard John f..
Barker declare and publish in the streets Of
Rocky lille, that he could have criminal connec-
ton with any woman in the said town Of
Rock lille for money and that he believes said
testimony material to a fair trial ofthe matter
now before the Court.
Sworn before
RICHARD j. BOWIE,
"Chief Justice"
On this state Of the case, Judge Bowie dis
charged the negro, remarking that there was
no law in Maryland to punish such offences
by indictment. But there is a law implanted
in the breast of every honorable man to
punish such offences in more summary man
ner whether committed by white or black
and we also think that the offence is punish
able by common law as high misdemeanor, or
was, at least, before negro worship invaded our
country. Whether impunity for such offences
will lead to more serious offences against the
females Of our county, we shall see. 1t is no
great while since negro man was executed
by mob law in Kentucky for outraging girl
ten years old, but we hope we shall never see
an occasion for such proceedingsin our midst.
We think that the action Of our Chief Justice
should convince the powers at Washington,
that there is no need of a branch of the Freed
men Bureau here, though it seems that they
have at last sent us one.

Lo ! THE Poor INDIAN Mr.. LYON, Gov
ernor OF Idaho and Superintendent of Indian
Affairs, in letter, dated March 18th, states
that sixteen friendly Indians were massacred
on the 18th Of March, by citizens of that
country, encouraged to this cowardly act by
one JAMES S. REYNOLDS, editor of the Idaho
Salesman, of whom the Governor says" a
greater scoundrel never lived" Only two Of
the Indians were grown men the rest were
women and children. The Governor makes
some extracts from REYNOLDS paper after the
massacre. These are some Of them: " We
long to see this vile race exterminated.
Every man who Kills an Indian is a public
benefactor Who will not emulate this good
example and rid US of these nuisances? We
say kill them off-the faster the better-with-
out distinction-nits make lice" These are
doctrines promulgated by a monster bred in a
Christian and civilized country. Who, Them
can wonder that the Indians refuse to be con-
verted by missionaries sent to them from the
same land Who can wonder that they retort
the injuries inflicted on them, by massacreing,
occasionally, men, women and children of the
white settlers2 Two or three years ago, the
Indians exasperated, no doubt, by some such
villains as the above named REYNOLDS, conf
mitted great havoc and destruction, and the
Government executed several of their chiefs
for the outrage. We think that every
scoundrel engaged in the massacre in Idaho|
should be hunted up and hung by the authori-
n 81 ~
LYON gays ain no case that have examined
have found the red man the aggressor; but,
invariably, the trouble springs from some|
liendish outrage Of bad white men," It'll
would be much more humane and appropriated
for Congress to attend to the rights of the|
Indians, than TO be disturbing the peace of
the country by their hypocritical and mis-
chievious philanthropy concerning the negro.
Gs- In the House of Representatives, on
Tuesday, the 18th instant, the bill to Amend
the Laws Organizing the Territories of Ne
braska, Colorado, Dacotah, Montana, WASH
ington, Idaho, Arizona, Utah and New
Mexico, was considered and passed by a strict
party vote. The ninth section is as follows ::
"That within the Territories aforesaid there
shall be no denial Of the elective franchise toI
citizens of the United States because of race on
color, and all persons shall be equal before thd
law; and all acts or parts OF acts either of
Congress or OF the Legislative Assemblies of
the Territories aforesaid, inconsistent with
the provisions of this act, are hereby declared
null and voids'
Mr.. LEBLoND, of Ohio, moved to strike out
this section, but it was sustained by strict
party vote, the Radicals for and the Demo-
Gratis against it. Whatever the Radicals Of
Maryland, with that old rotten demagogue,
FRANK THOMAS, at their head, may say about
negro suffrage, they are, intact, supporting it,,
when they support the acts of THAD. STEPHENS
and SUMMERS Congress.

= MEMORIES OF TIE PAST.
Ohrsweet are the memories that cling round the
heart,
Aswe muse O the scenes of our childhood
And brighter, they glow, as theshadows depart,
From The clouds, of our sport in the wildwood.
Twas then we felt happy-our joys being full
And we gave not thought to the morrow
But joyously slipped from the sweets Of to-day,
y Never dreaming of weeping OF sorrow.
Oh! sweet are the memories that throng to the
heart,
When we gaze O er those days that have left us,
And silent the tear, as it courses the cheek
In remembrance Of joys now bereft u.s.
But as we grow older with time and decay,
And review O. er in mind what departed
Wethinkits SO strang that such joys in our youth
Have not left us in age broken-h hearted!
Yet sweet is their ne1nry! time will not efiace
Those bright moments of youths sportive
pleasure;
We may life on through life, live on through all
space,
Still, we'll hold them as life's only treasure
Then why not in youth, weave garland of JOY,
That will crown us through life and forever?-
We may do it with love- true love of the Lord
lis q JOY that grim death cannot sever.
