ny- The Enquirer, speaking of tho Conovor-Ash- Icy conspiracy, says:
 "The Sentinel relies on sucf testimony against men of high character and standing, and retails this mans perjuries as facts"
 There is no doubt that Conover alias Dunhaln is great rascal; but will the Enquirer please tell us why, if his testimony against John H. Surratt was trustworthy and ''valuabe it is not equally so against Ben Butler and Impeachment" Ashley? ssWhat is sauce for the goose is sauce for the ga- der.''-Sentineg.
 Dunham's testimony, upon which the charges against Ashley rest, solely, is en- tirely worthless; nevertheless, he might have disclosed now facts and evidence to the prosecuting officer in the Suratt case.

The exhibition of Cattle this year, was extremely fine. At least two hundred pairs of oxen and young cattle were driven in in teams The show of horses on We'd nesday was also excellent. The exhibition of fruits, flowers and manufactures was, however, extremely slim. We noticed a beautiful birf worked in tapestry, exhibit cd by Ida. Shanly of Harwinton; some re- markable hair work by Eloise Mason of Morris; some pretty shell frames, by Mrs William l.. Burgess of Morris; and an ex- cellent Pen Engraving by A. B. Suthill of Plymouth. There were also some curious specimens of feather-work by Mexican In dians, exhibited by Mir. J. k. Wallace, which were brought rom Mexico by his father.
 In the large tent we noticed nothing re- markable except two beautiful Afghans, one exhibited by Mrs. George Pierpont Of Ply mouth, and one by Mrs. s. f. Miner of Cornwall. We had supposed tho President and Secretary of the Society took the lead of the County in the Hop Culture, but a cluster exhibited by Mir. J. l..

From tho northern part Of Texas we have tes-
timony that the freedmen are not paid for their
labor. and remain in actual slavery. Freedmen
who dare TO bring suits to recover wages due are
frequently whipped and many OF those who at
the close of the year were paid, were afterward
robbed. "Unless protection can be Afforded

robbers, whom the civil authorities dared not
attenIpt TO arrest. Thus the catalogue of crime
continues but we have said enough. If these
vero exceptional cases we should have said
nothing, but they are the rule, and though we
have few reports from Texas during the month
of January, we believe that the number OF
murders is not diminishing, and the condition
Of the State probably growing worse.
Yet, this Is tho State which the President
would restore TO civil rule, which he would at
