THE SURRENDER of LEE."-An unusual
degree of interest may we'll be felt in the lee
ture to be delivered this evening before the
Army and Navy Union. Ordinary lecturers
tell us of what they have read, what thew have
dreamed, sometimes what they have seen; but
it is rarely that we have an opportnnjty to
hear great historic action described on the
platform by one of the actors. During the
ten days which witnessed the final discom-
fture of the Army of Virginia, Gen. Cham
berlain was constantly in the very front of the
battle His brigade led the advance on the
Goth March and seized the Boydton plank
road His command TWO days later carried
the works which defended the White Oak
road His brigade. posted on the wheeling
flank at Five Forks the next day, captured
over thousand prisoners and five battle
flags. His command subsequently led the in
fantry advance upon the Southside railroad,
upon the Danyille railroad, and last OF all
upon Appomattox Court House on the 9th Of
April. On the day when the movement be-
gan Gen. Chamberlain was twice wounded
and won his brevet rank of major general.

participator in the great action, would be full

THE Courant of Rotterdam makes new
point against capital punishment. 1t says the
gallows is too expensive an institution to
be maintained by small state. In the
last budget of the Minister Of Justice one
item is 7,O46 forms for pay and pensions to
exacutioners. As sentences of capital punish
ment are, on the average only carried out in
Holland once in ten years, each execution may
be said to cost 70,400 forms for executioners
alone, not reckoning other expenses. The
cost of a prisoner to the state, on the other
hand, is 30 cents day, and supposing that he
is detained for twenty years, which is the
maximum periods in prison, he would have
cost $50 forms only, or about a twentieth of
the sum he would have cost if he had been ex-
ecuted. This reduction of the question to a
matter of profit and loss may possibly be, the
surest means eff getting at better practice in
regard to it. People are interested in what
touches the pocket .'' i'' i'''

Business matters are in a very unsatisfac-

extremely close, for the mercantile communi-

disposal of the impeachment question i'll the

currency question could not now be let alone
if we neither contract nor expand, and only
settle the question of the payment of 500
bonds in gold, all will be we'll. A banker re-
marked to me yesterday, snow let the curren-

was that the captain did know of these articles

We can imagine no circumstances under
Which 1t would seem to US fit and wise that
White and Black person should be joined in
tne noiy state OF matriiJony; and vet we claim
no right to judge for others in the premises,
ana can suppose no case in which the State
would be Justified in interfering to prevent
suoh marriage any more than to command
II. II Democracy has concocted or borrowed
an interference theory" which justifes such
meddling, it is worse theory than even are
had supposed All do know that there are
several hundred thousand mulattoes in this
country; and we presume no one has any Sc
rious doubt that the fathers of at least nine
tentks ofthem are white Democrats. And we
hold that those Democrats, if they aoW have
yelIaw children, might better than otherwise
treat the mothers respectively as, wives, after
the sauaable pattern of that eminent Demo-
crat, President Richard NJ. johnson.
Everybody knew what were the colors of has
wife and children; yet they didn't cost him the
support Of single White Democrat--New
YORK and Connecticut giving him their whole
electoral Vote. Hence we conclude thgt the
Democratic aversion to color in wedlock is
neither general nor sincere. t Il
