and opposed at every point to the meas ures proposed by the Radical party At night Mir. Bancroft, the nominee of no party, and representing we don't know what addressed the people. He started out with the announcement that in '61 he was Douglas Democrat, that he was not and had never been an abo- litionist. He said he was opposed to negro equality, had not and would never say that one negro was as good as one white man; that the require ments of the reconstruction act were upon us because we had refused to rat fly the constitutional amendmcnt.- These laws he said were made by stay at-home politicians; the soldiery had nothing to do with it; if the settle ment had been left to the field gcner- als 1t would have long ago been finally made; yet, the terms were as mild as we could in reason expect; that not one southern soldier expected at the time of surrender that he would ever be permitted to participate in the ad- ministration of the government. He further remarked that while he did net endorse the congressional plan of re- construction, he accepted it it as the best thing that we could get Negro suffrage was fixed and we could not avoid it. Much more he said which we have not space to record.
 Col. Can't, in conclusion, replied in short speech in which he reiterated what he had previously said, and an- swered such arguments as MT. Bancroft had used in his speech.
 Taking the subject of the speeches made, we conclude that Mir. McCnlloch is straight out Radical MT. Bancroft a Conservative upon Radical platform, which to us is strange position. Mir. Hicks and Col. Can't are the Conser- vative Candidates advocating conserve tive principles, and as such are before tAe people.
 ca next Tuesday the people of Prarie county must choose between these men. The principles they advocate ar e known, and we do not hesitate to say that it ia to the interest of Praric ccnnty to support men who will reflect their sentiments. Believing this, we an- nounce ourselves unqualificdly in favor of W. F. Hicks and R. s. Can't.

- The following important item relative to the trial of Jefferson Davis settles the existing dispute, as to wheth- CT Justice Chase will preside:
 Washington, Oct. P.
 DEAR JUDGE UNDERWOOD: On re- flection think it best and advised the district attorney, Mr. Chandler, that will join you in holding court in Rich mond on the 18th of November, if any important business to be transact ed. Mir. Chandler, l think, should notify the counsel of Jefferson Davis of this in order that he may appear and talk c his triBl, if he sees fit. As his bail was taken for his appearance on the 4th Wednesday in November, he is not, it is true, bound to appear earlier; but, as it is not possible for me to be present except the first week of the term com mencing on the 4th Wednesday, because of the term of the supreme court com mencing on the following Monday, it may be that Mir. Davis and his coun- sel will prefer the trial to take place at the earlier period, as it is understood that they wish that the chief justic may be present.
 Yours, very truly.
 (Signed.) s. P. Chase. To Hon. Judge Underwood. A gentleman who has just returned from London, Virginia, says this letter was yesterday handed to Judge Under wood and to J. Randolph Tucker, one of the counsels of MT. Davis. The lat ter took copy of it, but can give no reply until after consultation with his associates. There will be no meet ing of the committee to inquire into the assassination of President Lincon until Buffers arrival, a fortnight hence.

The Muster-Rolls Of the Confed-
crate Army.

Tie New York Tribune publishes an
abstract from documents which fell into
the hands of the United States at the
downfall of the Confederacy, OF the re-
turns of all the Confederate armies, from
their organization in the Summer of 1861
down to the Spring Of 1865. Il appears
from these documents that the number
of Confederate troops at the east and
west was throughout nearly equal, and
that, with the exception. of September,
1868. when Jongstreet, with his corps,
was sent from Virginia to Tennessee: no
considerable body of soldiers was eyer 1
moved from one army to the other. Ihe
greatest number on The Confederate mus,
ter-rolls at any one time was 550,G and
this was when every male fFom II to 5O
was enrolled in the army. The greatest
number present for duty at any one time.
in the whole Confcderacy, and that only
for a brief period, was o0,000. There
were. not three periods of a month when
they had 100000. At oily three periods
did the ARMY of Northern Virginia, un-
der Lee, number 100000 men fit for duty:
In October, 1861, when Mcclellan con;
fronted Johnston at Manassas, the actual
force Of Johnston was less than 10000,
and in December, only $4,000. When, in
April, 1862; Mcclellan landed on the Pe:
ninsula, Magruder had $4,000 men; and
when Mcclellan assailed Yorktown the
Confederatcs had on the whole Peninsula
less than $4,000. When he reached the
Chickahominy the Confederates had at
Richmond but $4,000, increased at the
close of May to about 10000 electives.
On the 2Gth of June, when Lee began
his movement against Mcclellan, the Con;
federates numbered little more than
100000 effective men. When, after the
battle of Gettysburg, Meade reached the
Rappahannock, Lee had 4l,0OO: The
ConfedefagJ was at its highest point Of
military efficiency iii the early Summer OF
1868, when the movement into Pennsyl--
vania was commenced. Every able-bodied
man, except those in the workshops and
civil departments, was enrolled seven
out of ten were actually present, and six
out of ten were present for duty" When
the Confederate army, in April 1865;
withdrew from Petersburg, it is supposed
not TO have numbered, all told, 3o,o0O
men:

TICKLE THE PARsoN.-An old Dutch
farmer had handsome daughter, named
Minnie, who recently joined the Motho-
dist church, against which the old ftrmer
was somewhat prejrdicad. The young
minister under whose instrumei1tality
Miss Minnie was converted, visiting her
frequently, excited his suspicion that all
was not right. Accordingly he visited
the church on Sunday night, and seated
himself, uhobserved, among the congre-
CATION.
Soon after taking his seat, the minister,
who was preaching from Daniel, 9th
chapter; 25th verse, repeated in loud
voice, the words of his text, "Mene, meme,
tclel upharsin," upon which the old far
mer sprang to his feet, seized the alright
ed Girl by the arm, and hurried her out OF
the meeting house. Having reached the
church-yard, he gave vent to his feelings
in the words:
sI knows dare vas something's whrong,
and now schwares to 'em."
"Why, father, what do you mean," re-
piled his bewildered and innocent girl.
Didn't l." shouted the old man, strik-
ing his fists together, and stamping with
his foot, "didn't I hear the parson cafi olIt It,

Particulars of Maximilian's Death.

The following particulars have been re-
ceived of Maximilian's execution. The
trial of MaximiIian, Mejia and Miramon
ended on the 14th. They were sentenced
to be executed on The 18th. Juarez sus-
pended the execution for three days, and
they were shot on the 10Th, at II a: m.
Colunels, are sentenced to six years inn
prisonment observation-disclosures i've
years; minor officers two years. Brlga-
diers and exceptional officers to be tried
by court-martial.
The. City Of Mexico surrendered TO
Diaz ON the 21st. .Juarez sent him q con-
eratulatory note, with directions as to the
disposition of prisoners, saying, "you will
transfer native prisoners to your own
command, or put them at liberty; accor-
ding to circumstances: Foreign prison
crs you will retain for further disposition
by the Government"
Among the archives taken on the oc-
cupation of Yueratara were somo docu-
ments relative to the last will of Maxi
milan, wherein; in case of his death;
Theodosia Larez, Jose; Maria, Lacurna
and Marquise; the assassins OF Tuenba,
were declared regents.
Escobedo writes from Querataro: "By
executing few of these master traitors
have made terror the order of the day
every where. I have imposed large con-
tributions on the rich, confscated their
property, and in all those places where |
could do so in person, my delegates have
strictly complied with my orders, and l
hope before closing my military careers
to see the blood OF every foreigner split
who resides in my country"
There is report that Maximilian was
shot in the face and the Mexican Gene
rails in the back as traitors.
Both the Liberal and Imperial pdpers
of Brownsville condemn the execution.
The Ranchcro is in full mourning. Tho
Governor of Matamoras had all the bells
rung and rockets fred on the reception
of the news of the execution. He sent
official information of the fact to General
Reynolds

HoM1c1pE OF A C6toKEp REoisrEK-i

HOMICIDE OF a C6toKED REeisTER!-A
few weeks since, at Greensboro, Ala, Mr.
John c. Orrick shot and killed negro,
bv the name Of Aiecis Webb, who had
been appointed one of the Registers fdt
Hall county Considerable excitement
was the result; and for several days col
lision of the two races Appeared imminent.
The Montgomery Advertiser of a late date
gives the following version of the affair
"Webb; the colUred register walked
into the store of OrricS and made state
mef1t, which @as denied by some culored
BOYS present: Orrck interceded, sttstain-
inc The position of the boys; and his as
sertioh was pronounced ID lie. He
asked Webb if he knew who he was talk
ing to. The negro replied that he did; a
id son of b-h. Orrick drew pis-
tol, shot him, and, rs soon as he could ar
range his papers, left. The matter had
nothing to do with tho registry: and the
colored man forfeited his life tor a most
wanton insult, and as many white men
have done under similar circumstances"

RAISING PorAroEs.-The Bastrop (Tex-
as) Advertiser states that a farmer Of that
county raised 800 bushels of sweet pota-
toes to the acre A man in one OF the
coast counties beat all this on small
scale. He raised bushel from one square
yard of his neighbours ground in single

A NARROW EscApE.-At Nashville, 18th
instant, the telegraph operators narrowly
escaped with their lives, SO violent were
the flashes Of electricity. The Banner
says:
Most of the Instruments were saved by
being cut out. The instruments connect:
ed with the wire leading to Memphis had
not been cut out, and the operator, MIR.
Lonergan, was transmitting messages to
that point, but fortunately had opened
his "key," thereby breaking the circuit,
to ask question regarding message.
Doubtless his life was thus providentlally
spared. AS it was, he received stun,
ning shock, starting back in terror and
amazement at the binding flash and
stunning report, and affording no little
amusement to his comrades by endcavor-
ino to back over the table. From the
brass 1 points in the switch board, light
ming streamed six or eig hit feet into the
room, roof causing general stampede and
scattering among the "lfghtnnlng boys,

THE AGE OF THE PoPE.-Pope Plus is
now in his seventy-sixLh year, and in the
twenty y-sccond year of his ponti6cate.
There is u curious superstition in Italy
which predicts great evil of the Catholic
Church whenever a Pope shall sit in the
chair of St. Peter for twenty-five years.
No one has yet reached that term, al
though Plus VII came very near it.

BILE as income when the gifts or donations
are in the nature of compensation for servi-
ces rendered, whether in accordance with an
understanding if that effect at the time of
settlement, or with an annual custom.

the nature of payment for services rendered,
or other valuable consideration, are not liza

ceived on life insurance policies, and damag-
es recovered in actions of tort are exempt
from income tax.
