Orris Pier Of Winhal, Vt. Mr.. Colby,
who has been in California since 1852,
returned last fall, leaving his wife to
sell the farm there and come on with the
children afterwards. AS it took longer
time to close up the business advantage
Ously than was expected, Mrs. Colby,
this spring, started the two children
alone to New York, which place they
reached safely. She had directed them
to go to Lovejoy's Hotel, where their
grandfather was to meet them. By some
misunderstanding DR.. Pier did not meet
them there; whereupon the girl pur-
chased tickets and started with her
brother still by themselves, for Winhall
which place they reached in due time,
safe and sound. Information of their
arrival was Immediately sent to DR.. Pier,
who was anxiously searching for them
in New York city. Few children of that
age could have accomplished so long a
journey alone.

the memorandum book found on the
person Of ], wilkes Booth, at the time OF
his capture, certified by Gen. Holt, Judge
Advocate General, who has possession
OF the book, together with his report In
relation thereto, The memorandum
book was FIRST seen by me about the
26th day OF April 1865, shortly after
Booths capture, and few hours before
his remains reached Washington. 1t
was brought TO my house by Provost
Marshal Baker and another person who
was, think, Lieut.. Col. COnger. The
book was then examined by me in pre-
sence Of Gen, Eckert, Assistant Secretary
OF War, and was found to contain only
the entries certified by Gen. Holt; also
some photographs Of females, lmmedi-
ately preceding the entries some pages
appeared to have been cut out, but there
was nothing indicating what had been
written thereon, or whether anything
had been written, nor when, nor by
whom they had been cut out. Immedl-
ately after careful examination of the
book and It's contents, it was placed in
the hands Of Gen. Eckert in the same
condition as when | first saw it to be
deliveredIto the Judge-Advocate-G General,
in whose possession, after it's delivery to
him by Gen. Eckert. l am informed and
believe it has continued until the present
time The last time l saw the Ibook
was some time last winter. 1t was
then before the Judiciary Committee OF
the House Of representatives, and was
in all respects in exactly the same con.
dtion as when l saw it first, without
any change or alteration, so far as !
could discover, in its contents. Gen,
Eckert reported to me that upon receiv.
ing the memorandum book from me, he
sealed it up and locked it up in his safe,
and 1t continued in his possession until
he delivered II to the Judge-Advocate-
General, and that it was then in the
same condition as when it was brought
to my house by Baker.

especially desirable to employ. Thousands

division. This is substantially true, and

division. This is substantially true, and
Disraeli has a right to boast of it.
While this result is no doubt owing to
some extent to the bad management of the
leader Of the liberals, it is probably owing
still more to the fact that the liberal party
itself in parliament is not thorough enough
in its friendship for republican principles !;
in other words is not radical enough. 1t
does not yet come up to the support of man
hood suffrage, but avoids that with as much
zeal as the tories themselves. 1t adheres to
class distinctions and property qualifications
and the principal difference between Glad
stone and Disraeli seems to be, that while
both oppose manhood suffrage, the former
would give the right of suffrage to a few
thousands more than the latter Both ad-
NIT that the suffrage should be restricted
and for substantially the same reason, that
it is dangerous to let everybody vote, but
Disraeli is little more exclusive than the
reform leader. Reform will never succeed
under such half-tory friendship. 1t must be-
come more radical, 90 to the root of all ex-
clusiveness and there strike its blows, and
then it will triumph it will deserve to.

The election of delegates for Constitution
al Convention, took place in New York last
week. \ large majority of the delegates are
Republican. The vote was not heavy.
Henry Ward Beecher was a candidate in
Brooklyn, and was badly beaten, running
considerably behind his ticket. 1t is prob
able that the convention will put blacks and
whites upon an equality in respect to suf-
frage. Now, property qualification is re-
auired of colored men in that state.
