APREeNANT ADMISSION.

Ii is well TO sometimes recur to the
past in order to discover the responsible
ity for the mishaps that aftiict the coun-
try. For several years a personal ieud
has existed between Horace Greeley and
Thurlow Weed, two men who did more in
the formation Of the great party in the
North based upon the sentiment antago-
nistic to the institutions of the South,
than any others In a late publication OF
the former, there occurs the following
significant not to say startling admission
1t should be preserved as material for
the history of this troubled era, Speak
ing Of the period Immediately preceding
the war, Mr.. Greeley says
Stocks were falling, business paraly zed,
local elections going against as in North
ern communities that had inst given large
maIoutes for Lincoln, and all industrial
prospects shrinking at the prospects OF a
vast civil war. Ii a poll could then have
been taken on the question, the free States
would have given popular majority for
the Cnttenden compromise. Ii was our
task 10 stem this heating torrent and save
the nation from committing a great crime"
Here is the confession that the leaders
of the Republican party in 1851, large
majority Of whom are the leaders Of the
Radical party now, wickedly and DELHI.
erately conspired against the peace and
unity Of the nation, defeated the propo-
sition Of an eminent Southern statesman
to compromise the sectional differences
threatening war, on basis acceptable to
majority Of the people Of the Northern
States and for the sake of maintaining
their party ascendency in those States,
plunged the country into sea of blood
and carnage For the sake OF securing
party ends, these same men are to day,
after the passions Of the people have been
fought out and the whole country is
longing for rest and quiet, keeping the
Union sundered, abolishing States, de-
grading communities, defying the con
sltution, and subyerting the liberties of
the people

the house that day he was at home about
two weeks before that; John was hot at
the house the night of the assassination :;
took no supper; witness used to see Alter
rot at the house.; he was 4 good deal in
Weichman's company; he used Wechmans
clothes; witness knew a man who used to
come there named Wood he never passed

him as Payne at the conspiracy trial was
introduced to witness by Weichman as
Wood; during supper on the night of the
assassination, heard footsteps going up
stairs they did not go into the parlor; af-
ter supper all went into the parlor except
Anna, who was unWell; in the parlor the
conversation was general; Weichman re-
manned some time witness and Miss Jen-
kins were teasing him; he soon retired,
leaving witness, Miss jenkins and Mrs.
Surratt in the parlor; witness did not
leave the room during that time; Mrs.
Surratt did not appear excited did not
walk up and down with her beads in her
hand, and ask Weichman to pray for her !;
neither did he reply; he didn't pray for
peoples intentions unless he knew what
they were; witness and Miss jenkins
did not bid good night at his
room door witness did not hear
Weichman say he had suspicious and
would communicate them to the govern
ment. Witness remembers the night Mrs.
Surratt was taken to the Provost MarshaPs
Capt Smith came about ten and a-half
o'clock and took her away Miss Jenkins,
Miss Anna, Miss Ward and witness were
present. Don't reeolIect Weichman ask
ing Miss Ward to let him see letter she
had. Did not see Mrs. Surratt whisper to
Anna Did not hear the latter say, oh
mother think of being taken down there
for such a crime.

foreigners; and the women, who are
dirty and ugly, do the duidgery. As to

that every negro woman met with child

pious Abolitionists or freedom shriekers!

Two female rickpockets were arrested
on Sunday, the 9TH inst, in DIR. Wood
bridges Presbyterian Church, at Saratoga,
during morning service, after they had Sc
cured two portemonnaies. These accom-
plished young ladies arrived there on Sat
urday last, and registered at the Clarendon
hotel as Mrs. Erich and Mrs. Stewart, of
New Orleans. The same morning they re-
lieved lady while shopping of her entire
pocket and contents, including thirty dol
lars in greenbacks. The matter was given
to an expert detective, who on Sunday
morning arrested then in church. and re-
covered the money. They were examined
and held to answer. One is rather autumn
nal, the other young and interesting, and
both the pictures of injured innocence.

Gov FLETCHER and Mr. Br5wnlow are
getting scared They have unregistered
Blount county. The reason not assigned,
but well knowu-too much Conservatism
in Blount All this unregistering BUSH
ness stands on the same ground The
McMinnyille Neic Era thus explains how
it occurred in Warren county. 1t says
eve have been furnished, by an entirely
reliable gentleman, with the substance OF
a conversation had between Secretary
Fletcher and two Of our citizens, whose
names we can give if necessary, and runs
in this manner:
Mr.. Fletcher, we cannot carry Warren
county in the approaching election with
the present registration, and we want you
70 set il aside. We must knock out some
more voters, or we are defeated
But, gentlemen, l dislike to set the
present registration aside, unless it is abb
solntely necessary. Don't You think You
can defeat the Conservatives without this p
We do not, but if a new registration is
ordered, we think we can manage It,
Mr. Fletcher says, i would rather 1t
could be managed some other way; but II
IL cannot will do as you request will
set il aside and order q new registration
The two gentlemen came home. The
registration Wds set aside, and new one
ordered and Immediately ''more voters
were Knocked out" by the destruction of
the certificates TO the February poll book"

Open the Eyes of the People.
From the Knoxville Free Press.
In the Circuit Conrt at Kingston, Roane
county, East Tennessee, Judge Houk held
the court in place of Judge Hall. A man
was arraigned for trial charged with
felOnious assault. The prosecutor had been
a Rebel-the defendant Union man. The
Federal troops had encamped on the pros
ecutor's premises. The officer in command
had sold the corn Of the prosecutor to the
defendant for the value of the corn. They
had agreed to arbitrate the matter They
met for the purpose. The defendant, with
pistol, made an assault upon the prose
cutor, such as the grand jury deemed
felonious assault. The case came on for
trial. The Attorney General waived the
felony and the defendant submitted for
misdemeanor. The examination of wit
nesses developed the facts as above stated.
His Hon (?)-HOuk-gravely announced
that he was half inclined to send the de-
PENDANT to Jail because he had not shot the
prosecutor He said that he ought to shoot
him yet. He further said that the Rebels
had tried to gain their independence in the
field and had failed, and that they could
not be allowed now to avail themselves of
the courts of the country to prosecute
Union men. He further said that any
Union man who might slay a Rebel under
the circumstances of the case before the
court, should never be punished while he
held the court.
Colonel Thornburg, the District Attor-
ney, Immediately arose, and with look
that was itself rebuke TO the so-called
Judge, said
''lf the court please, wish to say, for
the benefit of this people, that if any one
shall, under the advice of your Honor, take
the life of any citizen of this county, l will
have him indicted and brought to punish
ment."
''He will not be punished by this court"
said Houk.
l should not expect to try him before thi8
court" sold Thornburg.
Houk then proceeded to pronounce the
Judgment of the court in the case above
mentioned. He fined the defendant the
enormous sum of fac centsi
We derived these facts from members of
the bar who were present, and from the
Attorney General himself What words of
ours are needed as a commentary? Think

IHE allusion Of the Press and Times,
IN its issue Of yesterday, to die fact that
the Mayor proclamation concerning the
preservation Of the peace Of the city

tence committed al this Office Ii was
the direction Of the Mayor that it should
be sent to all the papers Of the city, and
il was our intention 70 do so.

The conduct of Judge HOuk at Kings
ton while presiding in the Circuit Court,
as stated by the Knoxville Press, is I'M
paralleled In the annals Of American
political history. He is more corrupt
and bloody than Jehreys. Every decent
lawyer ought to refuse to practice in the
courts where he presides-and every
citizen ought to refuse to become suitors
before him. He should be driven in dis
grace from the bench, and expelled from
human society.

be scarcely possible for the Radical party
to carry Pennsylvania or New York at
their next elections. Whenever they fail
t. carry both or either Of these States,
the days Of the party are numbered. The
