Mrs. surratt.

! A writer in the Georgia Constitutional
Union, speaking Of the fate of Mrs. Sur
rati, says t'
/ do not consider now the solemn de-
claraiion of her innocence made by that
fearless and stoical prisoner, Payne, as
he stood in the shadow Of death, but l
pass to an incident in the last act OF this
bloody drama, which, TO my mind, more
than any other, confirms the assertion OF
Butler, that "innooent blood has been
shed by this illegal tribunal" eJty
her appeal for few days in which
she might prepare her soul for eternity,
had been denied. In twenty-four hours
the cruel sentence OF the law was to be
executed. She met her fate with the
same christian resignation which had
marked her conduct during her severe
imprisonment. She availed herself Of
the services Of the minister of religion,
who was admitted TO see her ION certain
conditions and when, on the morning
of her execution, she was raised, by two
soldiers from the pallet on which she had
spent so many hours of agony, her calm
ness and resignation gave evidence that
she had made her peace with her God.
As she went tottering to the gallows, she
turned to her clergyman and said,
q Father, / am innocent May not tell
these people from the gsllows that am
not guilty 2" mo, no, my child" said
he, sit will do no good. 1t might disturb
the present conposure of your mind. Do
not fear; justice will yet be done 10 your
memory" She nodded her assent, and
with this declaration of her innocence,
she mounted the scaffold and passed
from thSss 10 eternity.
Christian men And women of this coun-
try, will not this dying declaration Of Q
Christian lady have some weight with
you when you come calmly and without
passion 10 review the sentence of the
illegal tribunal By whose order she was
strangled TO death? GeA. Butler has
but anticipated your verdict, and to his
credit be it said, has placed himself in
tho van of those who will yet do justice
to the memory Of an innocent woman"

much favor, as it covers all personal hazards
