Gen. Buffers report concerning the ex-
change of prisoners, made to the congress
ional committee, has been published, that,
as he says, fall may become matter of his
tory" From the document we learn that
Buffers first proposition for retaliation was
squelched by Gen. Grant. After that, But
Ter was appointed commissioner of exchange,
but the-confederate government would not
treat with him, and refused to exchange col
ored soldiers. He then turned his thoughts
again to retaliation, but was instructed by
Gen. Grant to decline all further negotiations.
Ths iatteg thought it impolitic, as a military
Measure, to give up any southern prisoners.
II the meantime, Butler, learning that col
Grad prisoners were used as laborers in the
soutb. threatened retaliation, and was sustain
cd bv Gen. Grant In 1864 he ordered an
Exchange of 10000 men through Col. Null
ford. This is about the substance of the re-
port, which closes with few remarks plac-
ing the responsibility upon Gen. Grant.

From the Washington Correspondence of the

Some doubt having been expressed as to
the existence of plot to manufacture evi-
dence in the Surratt trial /, published in the
New York Herald of Sunday last, it may be
as well to state that the individual who in
formed me of the plot was to-day examined
under oath as to his revelations, and a full
statement was secured, which confirms all
that has been stated in these dispatches.
The name of the informant is Schleshinger :;
the others concerned in the plot were named
Spandour, Rosenthal, Himmel, Carl and
Richardson, all of Baltimore. Rosenthal
was to testify that he was a pedlar about
tol, knife and wig to Surratt, who passed by
the name Of Patterson. Himmel was to
swear that he owned horse and wagon, and
bought rags in 1865, and that on the 18th
of April he carried three men, named Pat.
terson, Lyons and Carl in his wagon to Bal.
timore, and was to identify Surratt as Pat.
terson. Carl was to swear that he was
taken up on the road by Himmel
before Patterson and Lyons got into the
wagon, and was also to identify Surratt as
Patterson. A fifth was to swear that he
was barkeeper in a tavern at point below
Baltimore, and that on the 18th of April. two
men, named Patterson and Lyons, took
breakfast there, and was to identify Surratt,
These witnesses were here several days, du-

The BLACK CROOK IN Rock ISLAND.

Our friend Jervis, of the Davenport True
Radical, has two columns of chatty matter,
in his excellent paper, about the Black
Crook, which, with slight changes, we make
fit our latitude, as follows After having
read of and heard of the wonderful prodae-
ton of spectacle in New York, which
took the town by storm and set all the edit
orial quilts orthodox hetrodo1, and neither
dox, scribbling either in its praise or blame,
we have an opportunity of seeing it without
paying railway fare.
Everybody had heard of this exhibition !;
the fast young men had gloated over the re-
Ggious sheets which so piquantly described
its immoralities the saints had held up
their hands in holy horror at the glowing
accounts of the garments which commenced
too late and finished too early--of the young
ladies who literally and not metaphorically
endeavored to outstrip each other, and the
declaration that nothing had been seen like
it since Susannah and the elders, was taken
as gospel.
The ways had worn out the old st. Louis
joke that the managers had spent so much
in scenery and decoration that nothing was
left to clothe the ballet, and everybody was
anxious to see for themselves if it were true.
At length the Black Crook was announc-
ed, and in every mouth was, "shall you 60
to the show?" e SO y
We went, intending to be disappointed,
and we were-agreeably disappointed to find
that we were not disappointed, for the show
was infinitely better than we anticipated
Knowing the miserable scallawags that usu.
ally figure in provincial ballet, all sbins
and wings, sort of Terpsichorean pib,et
pie, we must say that the figures, we speak
artistieally, were unexceptionable.
We are not going TO write plot or crit
ique of the piece-everybody knows that the
libretto of "show pieces" is bosh, and no
body cares {. dime for that, if the scenery be
good and the ladies pretty.
The first thing, of course, to settle, is the
indeeency. We can only say that many q
young lady, in her daily walks, shows by
the aid of . patent tilter and store window.
