Pooh HOUSE ELEcrIoN.-We we're in
error last week in stating that the elec

have since learned that it will take place
on Tuesday the Sth of May. The peo-
pie of the county will be duly notified of
the above election by a proclamation
from the Sheriff, and as every voter in
the county is more OF less interested We
presume there will be 6 general turn out
to the polls on that occasion.

Arrest Or sTRRATr.

Under date of Naples, November 18th,
a correspondent Of the London Times de-
tails the circumstance of the arrest Of
surratt including the part acted by Gen.
King, American Minister to Rome. and
remarks as follows:
To these details | may add that General
King gave the informer two hundred and
tfty dollars in gold. and held out the
promised reward Of ten thousand dollars
more on the arrest being effected. II the
American government is really desirous of
securing its man, ] am disposed to believe
that It Is with view 20 procure evidence
OF the completely of Mr.. Jefferson Davis
m the conspiracy against Mr.. Lincoln, and
evidence OF that or any other crime might
perhaps, be easily furnished by man who
abandoned his own mother and left her 70
De hanged; al the same time, il would al
most appear, from the bearing Of some Of
the diplomatic agents, that the government
would have been glad had the Subject MOI
been revived. Certain il is that / have
heard Americans express a regret that as
poor laneoln's deatn had been amply
avenged, Surratt had not been LEFT alone
TO bear about with him bis own punish

ooyERxoR LYON, OF IDAHO, IN


publication was recently made that Caleb
Lyon, Of Lyondale, New York, who has
been Governor of the territory Of Idaho for
several years past, while on his way to this
city from New York, in the night train, was
robbed of the sum of torty-serea thousand
dollars, government funds, which he held as
superintendent Of Indian Affairs of that
territory. Governor Lyon says he put the
sum of money named in belt, (which for
protection sake should be worn around the
body,) but that when he laid down in the
sleeping car he put the belt under his head
that the thief took the money and left the
belt exactly where the Governor put it. To
say the least, this was a considerate thief
who put the belt back under the Governors
head. What makes the statement about
the loss of the money seem very strange is
the fact that Mr.. Lyon should have allowed
| himself to bring such large amount Of
money upon his person to this city. There
was no occasion for it. He could have de
| posted il in any government depository
| and taken 4 certificate therefor, the stealing
Of which wouIds.not necessarily have sub
iected him to the loss Of the money. e.
| 1t will appear by the record, we under
stand, that since July %, 1864, the govern
ment has advanced to Superintendent
Lyon, at different times, about one hun
dred thousand dollars, for which, We learn,
he has never rendered any account what
ever Therefore Governor Lyon will not
only have TO account TO the government for
the S47, 900 taken from the belt under his
head, but for the still larger lum named
above, the disbursement of which there Is
no official detail rendering at the Depart
ment. We certainly hope Governor Lyon
will make satisfactory settlement of the
financial affairs of his administration in
Idaho, reference to which we thus allude to
publicly because the subject is public one,
and will probably before the courts at an
early day Washington Republican,, Dee. 2

MICRO sUFFRAGEIN ILLINOIS.

The Chicago correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette says in his dispatch oI
the Dist instant:
"a petition 10 the Illinois Legislature is
in circulation in this city, and will soon be
all over the State urging that body to agree
TO an amendment Of our State constitution,
whereby all distinctions Of political rights
on account ofcolor or race shall be abolished
Ii will receive a large number Of sigma
lures"
If the people of Illinois consent to any
such change Of their constitution a very
remarkable change win have taken place
in their sentiments In June, 1862, the
question of negro suffrage was pro-
posed to the people of Illinois in the
amended constitution proposed by the
constitutional convention Of that State,
together with clause providing that "the
General Assembly shall at its first session
under the amended constitution pass such
laws as will effectually prohibit free per
sons Of color from immigrating to and
settling in this State, and to effectually
prevent the owners of slaves from bring
ing them into this State for the purpose
of setting them free. The vote in favor
of granting the right Of suffrage or Office
to negroes or mulattoes was 1868, while
that against it was 2ll 800, thus showing
that it was voted down by l76, 27l MAORI
ty. The vote on the proposition to ex-
clude negroes from the State was l9S, 1888
in favor and 44,4l5 against Can the
Radicals overcome this decided repug-
nance of the people. of Illinois to making
the negro their equal at the ballot-box?
