THE BODIES OF THE CoNspIRAToRs.

The REMOVAL OF THE PENITENTIARY.
Recently the authorities al the Arsenal have
erected hesd- boards over the trench in which
the bodies OF the coDspirators are buried, bear
ing the names, respectively, Of the persons
buried. 1t is understood that this is done in
compliance with the orders OF the War De-
partment, in order t , .skeep record of them
1t will be recoIIected that about month since
all OF the bodies were removed from their
original graves TO No. l warehouse, where
they were placed side by side in enc trench,
about ten feet from the north wall. Booths
body, which had been buried about ten fee
deep in the store-room OF the Penitentiary
building, was placed on the right, (nearest the
east WALL and the bodies Of the other con.
spirators-Mrs. Surratt. Payne, Herold and
Atzsrod', with that of Henry Wirz, the An.
derscnville jaIlor, which had been inferred
near the scafold in the yard OF the
Penitentiary, were placed IN the above
order, IS they originally rested in the
yard. The north end of the building bear
q novel appearance now, vita the mound
raised and the headboards placed on the north
side of it. The removal Of the bodies, as here
tofore stated by US. was rendered necessary
by the contemplated improvement, it being
apparent that the proposed grade, where the
penitentiary building now stands, would be
below where the bodies were buried.
Notwithstanding the difficulty ex perencad
by the contractor for taking down the old
penitentiary building in obtaining hands, he
has commenced the WI rk, but has less than a
dozen men employed, who have thus far taken
up the pavements. and are now at work on the
east wall OF the main south yard. 1t is stated
that the authorities will hold him to the con-
tract, and IN case of failure sue the suretIes
on his bond.

THE REPUBLICAN, ADnREss

The address Of the Union Republican Cnn-
sressional Executive Committee to the voters
of the States in which elections are to be held
in November, has just been published. Taey
say.-"The importance OF your action to the
cause OF our common country, still imp .rilled
by perfidous Executive on the one hand
and the defiant spirit OF rebellion on the other
impeIs us TO make this appeal before the ap.
proac hing elections. The members OF the
Union Republican Congressional Executive
Committee, have been SO i'm pressed by the ex-
traordinary success which has attended their
efforts in the unrecoGstructed States, and bv
the vital necessity Of strengthening these
Efforts by the approving voice OF the great
party that contributed SO effectually to the
overthrow OF the rebellion, that they cannot
believe the American people are ready 10 al.
low the enemies OF the Republic to gather new
courage IL their opposition to the restoration of
the Union on the basis Of equality and justice"
AFTER referring to the progress OF reconstruc-
ton In The Sou'h, and the effects which will
follow Republican defeat in November they
conclude as follows lyon must decide be-
tween the men who supported and finally
saved the Republic and those who toied
through proracted and bloody war to ac-
complish Its destruction. From the moment
the accidental President deserted the former
and Joined the latter the hope OF giving to
treason the on'rol of the Government was
revived, and nothing will be LETT undone to eff
feet that copsummation."

THE POLITICAL VIEWS OF GENERAL

He Is Nnf a Party Man.


Especial Dispatch to the Start
NEW YORK, Oct. pa special Washington
dispatch to the Tribune says: ga Southern
edior, who has for some time been advocating
the election of General Grant as President,
came to this city last week for the purpose of
learning directly from the General his politi-
cal standing. He obtained an interview with
General Grant, and informed the latter that
many OF his friends who were supportin. him
IS the mbodment of patriotism, and as the
pet repre-en tative OF the truly conservative
neE Of the country. had been alarmed at the
POSITION ia which MIR. Washburn had placed
him in his Galena speech; that if Mr.. Wash
burn correctly stated General Grants political
opinions. he, Grant, was as much Radical
a. any OF them. and belonged to the Radical
party The editor says General Grant replied
to this that he was not a party man. never
had been of any political party, and perhaps
should never be-: that he voted for Buchanan
for President, but had not done much voting
since. because OF unsettled residence. The
editor further SAYS that the impression he de-
rived from the conversation was that General
Grant will not accept nom nation for the
Presidency from the Radicals proper, but that
he would accept the nomination as the repre-
sentative of the Conservative men. The Ii
tor has taken notes of the conversation, aad
proposes 10 print them in his paper"

quotations was strongly upward, especially lot
fiye.twe mites of 1862 and 1865, in which there
is q very heavy ashort" interest. Late in the
afternoon the price OF the old bonds advanced
to 1I3x, and that of the 1865 issue to I10x a110x'
The foreign bankers are buying in anticipation
of higher figures, Influenced, to some extent'
by the orders from Germany TO purchase fresh
bonds with the proceeds OF the November
coupons sent on for collection; and there is at
the same time a home demand, stimulated by
the low prices at which the gold bearing six
per cent stocks are still selling.
Money was even easier on Saturday than on
any previous day last week, and loans were
made IN some instances at six per cent,
although the general rate was seven There
are some indications of a slight abatement of
stringency in the discount line; but the mer-
chants complain OF the banks for reserving
their funds for loans on call to stock houses
white neglecting the paper OF their mercantile
customers, and the feeling against the banks is
very strong in this relation. What little prime
paper the banks take is quoted at seven per
cent, but outside the rate varies from eight to
ten per cent, while for inferior grades there is
little or no market The statement Of the asso-
ciated banks for the week ending Saturday
