against the officers who composed that
commission. They we're men who relied
for the law upon the Judge Advocate
who thought they had oil the facts befnre
them, but before whom all the facts were
not put. do not mean to say that they
judged wrongly under the light which they
had. 'The point which should stand be-
fore the country, is that all the testimony,
was not befors that tribunal. Ii all the
testimony had been presented, we should
have been to pursue the accomplices, and
to ind out who it was that changed Booths
purpose from capture to assassination, who
it was that was to profit by the assassiua-
tion, Had that would not profit by the cap
ture of Mr.. Lincoln; who IL was that
should succeed to Mr. Lincoln in case the
bullet made vacancy. To some aspects
of the case that diary might not have been
legal testimony, but its moral evidence wo'd
have carried conviction to the mind of ev-
erybody, because it was the dying decla-
ration of man, assassin though he were,
who was telling the truth between himself
and God. How was Booth, by coming
back to Washington, going to clear him
self of the great crime? That question
still remains. Were the eighteen pages
Of Booths diary gone when it came into the
possession Of the learned yudge-Adv ocate ?
If so, why did he not inquire what became

ogs generally ale quadrupid.

Hogs generally ale quadrupid.
The extreme length ov their antiquity
has never been fully discovered they ex-
listed long time before the food, and have
existed long time since.
There 10 a great deal ofinternal revenew
on hog; there ain't much more waste in
them than there is in an oyster.
Even their tails can be worked up into
whissels.
Hogs are good, quiet boarders !; they al
wuz eat what IL set before them, and don't t
ask any foolish questions.
They never hev emmy disseaze but the
measels, and they never have that but once;
once seems to satisfy them.
There il CRATE many breeds amongst
them.
Some are close corporation breed, and
some are bilt more apart, like hemlock
slab.
They used to hsv breed in New Eng
land, few years ago, which they called
the striped hog breed this breed was in
high repute among the landlords almost
every tavern keeper had one, which he
used tew show tew travellers and brag on
him.
Some are full in the the ce,like town
clock, aud some are rs long and lean as a
cowcatcher, with steal-pinted nose on
them.
They kan all rute well a hog that kant
rute well has been made in vain.
They are short-lived animal and gener-
ally die as soon as they git fat.

barrels, and fading hcle in the fence tew

for them tew find the same hole tew git out
at, especially if you are at all anxious they

Hogs are very contrary, and seldom drive
