The Last Trick.

The last trick of the Presidential GeIna-
gogue to secure sympathy ter himself,
has met with very damaging exposure.
In the doeument sent ccst from the At
torney Generals office, letters were given
from Congrcssrnea Ashley &nd Butler,
asking pardon and it was sought by
their publication to sustain the charge of
conspiracy to manufacture evidence a.
gafHss the President, which was made
by that wretcired trickser It now ap-
pears that letters of a precisely similar
import, and having an equal bearing up
on the case, were signed, by Andrew j.
Rogers, Ni6lack, lie BioFsd snd Eldridge
Democratic members Of Congress, Az
dy cannot interpose the false plea put for
word by him in the case Of Mrs. Surratt
that he did not see these papers, as they
are stamped with the seal Of the ExeeuI
tive Department, and bear an endorse
ment by his Private Secretary, referring
them to the Attorney General. As it has
been officially announced, that the
President had directed publication of
the case for the information of tie pco-
pie, it follows that these documents must
have been deliberately suppressed, and
the others ustd y h the malicious urJose
Of giving veracious appearance to a
story which would otherwise be univcr-
sally pronounced an infamous lie. ...
Manitcstly, there is no depth of base
ness to which President Johnson will
not descend for the accomplishment of
his purposes. The check of every hon
est American must tingle with the blush
of shame, when he reflects that this pal
try intriguer occupies the highest posi-
ton in the gift of the American peorle
and that foreigners will measure our char
acter by the low standard of his vulcari-
tv. 1t was bad enough to know that We
had sot in the presidents chair; it is
infinitely worse to believe that he is also
a criminal trickster .......
We have not heard the last of this
The honor of the country demands :
thorough investigation and exposure O
the factsg Andrew johnson, as chic
witness for the prosecution, has before
the grand inquest of the Nation charged
upon representatives of the people das
tardly and infamous crimes, Ifthe &c
cused are guilty, they SHOULD. suffer. If
eli the other hand, this is-but one among
many devices, for escaping the eonse
quences of, shameful treason and disgust

Disguised Brazilian Emigrants.

The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, gives the
following account of the return of party Of
disappointed Southerners, who had obstinately
persisted in exiling themselves and seeking
home in Brazil:
There arrived at the Central Hotel

men who left Brazil last month, thor

their new homes among the hybrid mass

accounts OF many hundreds of deluded
Southerners, who were lured away from
their friends by the tempting offers of
the BRAZILIAN Government, and the tales
of wild and impulsive American adven-
turers, They represent that there is 20
