HE FATE OF THOSE WHO Con
DEMNED MRS. SURRATT TO THE
GALLows.-The Cambridge Md
Democrat thus alludes to the in.
famous witnesses for the Govern
ment upon whose testimony an
innocent woman, Mrs. SURRATT,
was murdered npon the gallows,
by the order of an illegal packed
military tribunal. 1t says:
"Conover, the particular friend
and associate of Asley, is now
residing in the the Pehitentiary /;
Cleaver has been once convicted
of infamous crime, and is awaiting
new trial ; Baker is an abscond-
ing criminal and fugitive from JUS
tice, and Richard Montgomery
has been arrested and is to be
tried for embezlement and swind-
ling"
And Preston King, who, it is
said, prevented Miss ANNA SUR
RAFT from having an interview
with President JOHNSON on the
morning her mother was executed,
committed suicide q few months
after, by throwing himself into
the waters of the Hudson. There
are others in the bloody drama
who will have fortunes equally
bad with those already spoken of.
There is a retribution always in
the moral as well as in the physi-
cal world for those who commit
outrages against humanity and
sin against the laws of Justice

Cool ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS has
decreed the total suppression of
the Polish nationality, and the
absorption of Poland into Russia.
History will count the conduct of
Russia toward Poland among the
greatest political crimes Of the
nineteenth century"
The cool audacity of the Tri-
bune in making this true state
ment is something to excite the
amazement of all honest people.
IF it be crime for one white race
to absorb another, what language
can describe the atrocity of that
policy which gives over ten mil
lion Anglo-Saxons to the rule of
three million negroes And yet

struction on the basis Africaniza-

FRENCH BABIEs.-According
to law, every child born in France
whether Of prince or chifonniey
must be presented at the May
ors office within twenty-four hours
OF its birth. The only escape
from this presentation is by means
OF certificate from the attending
physician, that it would endanger
the life of the infant to carry it
out as the law prescribes. Now,
the Academy Of Medicine have
interfered, and petitioned the
Minister of the Interior to sus
pend this regulation during the
inclement season of the year at
least. The object Of this law is
to secure the number of male
births in the kingdom, with a
view to their future enrolment in
the army.
This French law reminds us of
a custom which once prevailed in
this country, Of dipping newborn
infants into cold wator; and which
DR.. Rush said ironically, was a
most admirable practice; for it
killed off all delicate babies, and
made it certain that those who
could bear this ordeal could bear
anything Exchange.
