Under the heading of ga Perjured
Tool Convicted" the Cleveland Ohio
Plaindealer, leading Northern print,
announces that the wretch Sanford
Conover, on trial in the criminal court
in the District of Columbia, has been
found guilty of perjury in his testi-
mony duplicating ex-President Davis
in the crime OF assassination 1t
adds: zr Ezs.zf g. ze.os .sal
ssThe result is the more gratifying
as the trial was before Republican
bench and every proper opportunity
afforded the criminal to explain his
guilt. It has been suggested that as
this great scoundrel has sought by
perjury to bring JEFF. Davis to the
gollows, he himself deserves to suffer
the penalty which he sought to have
wrongfully visited upon another
The conviction of this creature was
not needed to vindicate the name of
Jefferson Davis. from the atrocious
columny, with which it was sought to
connect it. u6& - $50

Twice Married to the Same Woman.

1t frequently happens that man is
twice married but it is not usual for the
same man to be twice married to the same
woman. Such a case, however, really oc-
Cured not long since in Memphis. A
surgeon in the rebel army, after serving
until the close of the struggle, returned
to his home near Hopefeld, Arkansas, to
find his houses burned and his wife gone !
Unable after long search to find the latter,
and believing ske had wilfully abandoned
him, he procured a divorce, and returned
to Hopeield to practice his profession
\ few weeks ago he received word that
his wife was in West Tennessee and that
she was still faithful to him, but had
sought the home of friend after their
house was burned down. \ correspond
ence ensued only Que result was possible;
and last Tuesdary the former husband
and wife met at the Commercial Hotel in
Memphis, and were formally re married.

NO. B.
Orators for the South.

In Congressional circles the sugres.
tien is entertained of seading number
OF the best Republican stump speakers
into the Southern States to address the
people on the political issues involved in
the Reconstruction programme embodied
In the Military Government Act. This
thought is decidedly good one, and if
put INTO practical operation cannot fail
OF producing beneficial consequences.-
For many years the aims and motives Of
the Republican organization, and of its
leading men, were Systematically mis-
represented throughout all the seeding
States. 1t was deemed essential in pre-
pairing the people for revolt to infams'
their passions and prejudices. This was
done with skill and persistency never
surpassed. After the conflict was actu-
ally precipitated, the same instrumental
ity was employed to induce the people to
sustain the burdens and sacrifices which
became necessary to the continuance Of
military operations. Since the struggle,
definite impressions necessarily remain in
the minds Of hundreds of thousands,
which have no foundation in fact, and
which prevent speedy incoming of an
era OF good fellowship. 1t is most desir-
able that these impressions should be OBJ
liberated; that the inhabitants of the
South should be made to understand the
sentiments and principles of the northern
majority, and not be left prey to their
own misapprehensions or to the craftiness
OF men who have selfish ends to promote
by continuing the present alienation. To
this end there is no better means than
sending representative Republicans into
the revolted commonwealths, and obtain
ing for them hearing by the masses Of
the population.-Ptttsjag Gazette.

Brigham'S Paradise.

The Mormon capital, known as Salt
Lake City, where Brigham Young reigns
and rules, is thus described by CORES
pondent:
"This singular town covers an area of
about nine square miles, that is, three
miles each way. 1t is one of the most
beautifully laid out cities in the world
The streets are very wide, with water
running through nearly every one of
them. Every block is surrounded with
beautiful shade trees, and almost every
house has its neat little orchard of apple,
peach, apricot, and cherry trees. In fact,
the whole nine square miles is almost one
continuous orchard"

CHERRIES OF HAMBURG.

In the early part OF tho sixteenth
century cherries were very rare in
Germany. There had been a rot, and
it was with the utmost difficulty that
any could be preserved. But. a ciLi
zen of Hamburg, named Wolf, bad in
the middle Of the town, a walled gar
den, and ia the garden he had gather
ed the raresL of cherry trees, and by
constant watchfuIhesss be had kept
away the disease from his fruit, so that
he alone possessed healthy cherry
trees, and those in great abundance,
bearing tho juciest Of cherries. All
who wished cherries must 60 to him
for them, and no sold them at the
highest prices, SO thae every season
ho reaped- great harvest of gold
from his cherries. Far and near Volts
cherry trees were known, and he
grew rieher and moro famous. :. :
One season, when his cherry treos
were in blossom, and giving promise
of an abundant crop, war broke out
in the North of Germany, in which
Hamburg, was invaded The city was
besieged, and 30 surrounded by the
enetuB that no help could reach it,
Slowly they eonsum med the provisions
that were garnered, but famine stared
them in the face; nor did they dare

five or six rods apart,) exactly in
