Ofthe hopes Of the salvation for
the country so much talked of by
the Democracy, the Cincinnati Com
mercial very truly says!
Whenever we complain ofany Of
the follies of the party in power
a score of Democratic journals tell
us that there is but one hope Of
salvation, and that in the old Dem
ocratic party. This is stupidity
that has become wcarisome and is
getting exasperating. The Dem
ocratic party was SO closely idcnti-
fed with the rebellion, that it has
not the confidence of the people Of
the country-and by the people We
mean the masses of intelligent men
who have in their hands the politi-
cal power in the great states of the
North. The people dread more
the Democratic party's return to
power, than any other calamity.
Take any shape but that, is the ex-
clamation that greets the Demo
cratic party. Itis Bourbon De.
mocracy that gives Radicalism Ii
cense.

n. lFrom the Now York Commercially
Justification OF the Verdict
against Mrs. Surratt.


An impression has boen steadily
gaining ground during The past
| year that Mrs. Surratt, and per.
haps some Of lhe other alleged
pcohspirators, were innocent Of the
crimes charged upon them. Rad
icals and Democrats have combin
ed to create and develop such an
impression In order 10 make
capital against the President, Con.
grassman Bingham, and Others,
General Butler charged in his &C.
customed bold and reckless man /.
ner that Mrs. Ssrratt was an in
noecnt victim Of the gallows, and
that Booths diary had been mu.
tilated by the Washington author
tiles. The Same assertions have
been and are being reiterated by
Democratic journals 10 order to
cast odium upon the Republican
party.
In view. of these facts, the testi
mony hSing elicitcd upon the Sur.
ratt trial is of douDIeimpoftance,
justiiying as it docs the verdict
pronounced upon the conspirators
two years ago. Were it wanting
then, proof is now had that Mrs.
Surratt, Booth, Surratt, and Atzc.
rodt were in league together and
held frequent consultations; that
each and every one of them were
knowing to, if they were not all
actors in, the foul conspiracy. And
the fact that a portion OF the re.-ti.
mony to this effect is now ELECTED
from those disposed at the time of
the tragedy to screen the authors
gives additional weight to it.
General Buffers charge concern
ing the mutilation of tho diary
was shown to be false some time
since and his other charges are
now encountoring similar fate.
Such being the case tho public can
but peruse with satisfaction the
evidence which is now being
brought forward from day to day,
and which is of far more impor-
tance as justifying the past course
of our authorities than as proof OF
Surratt's guilt.

The best way TO meet the argu.

CHEAP AND WHOLESOME DRINK.
In warm weather workmen per,
spire SO much, that they feel it a
necessity to drink often, and too
frequently resort TO strong liquors,
as means of relief from their
inordinate thirst. Such drinks
only give temporary relief. while
the ultimate consequences are al.
ways injurious. We give recipe,
which will provide a cheap and
wholesome beverage, and one easily
made. Mix enough molasses with
water to make it moderately sweet,
and then add ground ginger in pro.
portion of four ounces to half o
gallon Of water. Ginger is an
aromatic stimulant, and Is very
efficacious in cases of flatulence,
dyspepsia, and loss Of appetite. 1t
is perfectly harmless TO the most
delicate stomach, and, at the same
time, imparts a grateful flavor to
the simplest beverage, giving a
pungency that is equal to the choi.
cest malt liquors.

makes the following syllogisms:
1. All political power inheres in
the people.
2. Women, like men, are people.
3. Therefore, political power
inheres in women as well as in
men.
Again
l. Governments derive their just

2. Women are governed.

declining reappointmen. as Coun-
Gilman from the Eighth Ward of
the city of Mobile, is this morning
received.
Your nomination in Special Or
ders No. 10, from these headquar-
ters was designed simply to reme-
dy the omission of your namo from
the list of original appointments,
and not to be in any sense compul-
sorry. Such necessity is happily
prevented by the presence of that
large class Of your fellow citizens
who have heretofore been denied
the right of suffrage and participa-
tion in municipal affairs, but whose
patriotism will prevent them from
following your example. The va
cancy will be Immediately filled
by selection from among them.
Very respectfully,
