THE ARREST OF SURRATT.-The
last of the conspirators in the as
sassination of President Lincoln,
has finally been arrested. 1t
appears, as we learn from official
sources, that Surratt was arrested
in Italy, as heretofore reported,
while serving in the Papal Zou-
ayes, and afterwards escaped
The Pope promptly gave the nee
essary orders for arrest upon the
request of our Minister, Mr.. King,
Notwithstanding there was no trea-
ty between the United States and
the Papal government binding the
latter to grant the request of Mr..
King. Surratt was traced, after
his escape, to Egypt, and arrested
as stated.

One evening last week, the in.
mates of the family of VIM. R.
Boutwell,, residing in Portsmouth,
Va, partook of supper, the princi.
pal dish of which consisted of
hashed beef and sweet potatoes.
The same night, Mr.. Boutwell,.
his wife, and an old lady, were all
attacked with the most violent
purgings and fits of vomiting,
dreadful cramps, and all the most
positive and unmistakable symp.
toms of cholera. Medical aid was
called in, but all three of the suf
ferers continued to grow rapidly
worse, and all died within three
hours of each other, and were all
laid out in the same room. The
deceased composed the entire

A. Match Factory.

A match factory in Western
New York is noted for the curious
machinery used in manufacturing.
Seven hundred and twenty thou
sand feet of pineof the best quality
are used annually for the matches,
and 100000 feet of basewood for
cases. The sulphur used annual
ly for the matches is 400 barrels,
and the phosphorus 9, 600pounds.
The machine runs night and day..
and 800 hands are employed in
the works. Five hundred pounds
OF paper per day are used to make
1.-THE light small boxes for holding
the matches, and four tons of paste
board per week for the larger box
es. Sixty poundsof flour per day
are used for paste; and the penny
stamps required by the govern
ment on the boxes, amount to the
snug little sum of 81, l4O per day.
| There are four machines in use
for cutting, dipping and delivering
the matches. The two-inch pine
plank is sawed up the length of
the match, which is 2f inches
These 60 into the machine for cut
ting, where at every stroke twelve
matches are cut, and'by the sue
iceeding stroke, pushed into stats
arranged on a double chain 25O
feet long, which carries them to
the sulphur vat, and thence to the
phosphorus vat, and thus across
the room and back, returning them
at a point just in front of the cut
ting machine, and where they ere
delivered in their natural order
and are gathered Up by a boy in
trays and sent to the packing room
Thus l 900 gross or l44, 900 small
boxes of matches are made pei
day. The machines for making
the small, thin paper boxes and
their covers are quite as wonder
fully and ingeniously contrived al
those that make the matches. A
long coil of paper, as wide as the
box is long, revolves on wheel
one end being in the machine. i
first passes through the rollers
where the printing is done, anc
;. thence to the paste-boHes, where
the sides and ends are only past
ed; from thence to the folding APP
paratus, where the ends are nicely
folded and the whole box is pasteC
together, and drops into a basket
! A similar machine is at work at the
, covers. and thus IA, 900 boxes pc,
day are manufactured. -

Open the Post-Ofices.

It is high time our people were
interesting themselves about open
ing the mails throughout the coun-
try. They have suffered incon-
veniences for the lack of them
long enough, and should exert
themselves to remedy the evil.
The following extract from the
Nashville Banner will throw some
light upon the subject, and we in
woke our people to action in the
matter. Throw off the apathy
which has seized upon your minds
: in regard to it, and go to work in
earnest, and you will soon find
that you are doubly repaid for your
exertions:
eve are informed by the special
postal agent for this State, that
one of the reasons why the routes
and Offices are not opened, is not
because persons cannot be found
who can take the oath, but be.
cause of the small remuneration
for carrying the mails, allowed by
the Government. He also informs
US that he has in all cases instruct
ed the sub-agents to allow the most
liberal construction of the required
oath Of office. The law requires
that the applicant shall make oath
that he has not, with intent to aid
therein, participated in the rebel
lion. 1t is the opinion of the agent
that there is not a district through
out the State, where some one OF
more citizens might not be found
who could come within the law.
provision on the subject, He al
80 advises that where men cannot
be procured to act as post masters
that women or girls Of intelligent
age, be requested to undertake the
duty and act as post mistresses. A
number of post mistresses have al
ready been appointed, and the sys
tenn acts like a charm. We arr
satisfied the Government and it,
agents desire to give the people al
possible mail facilities, but the PEG
pie owe it to themselves to make
some effort to get their post Offices
and mail routes opened.
1--WE regret the apathy which
seems to prevail amongst oul
friends through the country III
this respect. There never was q
time in our country's history when
the people were more in need of
light. We are upon the eve of a
most momentous crisis in our polit
ical affairs, and the near approach
ing months of the Congressional
session are pregnant with results
The people are literally blind-fold'
ed in a field beset with dangers,
and it is in great part their own
fault. We urge them to make
one more effort, and a dozen eff
forts, until they get their mails.

N egro Suffrage I'm the District Of Colunbia

n egrO Suffrage I'm the District Of Columbia
Day before yesterday the bill which
fastess negro suffrage on the District ,of
Columbia passed the House of Representa-
tives by vote of one hundred and four
teen to fifty-four. With the exception of a
few members from Kentucky, Virgins, and
he West, the entire Republican strength
was cast in its favor. We had expected
this result and are therefore not surprised
at it. 1t makes plain the falsehood of the
leaders of that party and gives the lie to
all the professions and promises upon which
they gained power. No man can any Ion-
ger pretend to be deceived as to the real
designs of that organization, nor can its
orators and presses conceal or wipe out
this damning record. Negro equality,
which through all past political campaigns
they SO pertinaciously denied was any part
of their political system, is now avowed to
be the capital and ultimate object of it,
We are willing to try this issue with them
before the people of the country and shall
not suffer the object to lie idle on our
hands. Meantime, the following descrip-
ton OF the scene which followed the pas
sage of the bill, which we find in the New
York Herald, is graphic and suggestive :
The galleries were filled with anxions
spectators and listeners of both colors, the
blacks preponderating, however. The mas
sage OF the bill was hailed with such bo;s-
ferrous and prolonged applause on the floor
that Speaker Colfax lost his temper. and
said that he would not in future attemnt
to suppress the galleries unless members
behaved themselves. Jub.la radicals
rushed into the lobbies, the halls and the
barber shops and grasped the greasy hands
OF every thoroughbred freedmen they found
IN those Localities. Coming down q from
the galleries big darkiss jostled loftily
against the highborn danes of this district
and trod upon their drapery with an air of
divine right. In the street cars thew hob
neobed with successful Congressman and
grlnned familiarly in the faces of the here
tofore ruling race.-Ase. ba

"lf they the Southern Statesl should

thus continue Republican ascendcncy." "
Almost in the next breath he tells u,
how well fitted those blacks are for sniff

"The internal laws of black slavery have
