JOHN II. SURRATT was at last turned loose
upon the world again yesterday afternoon by
Judge Wylie, of the Criminal Court at Wash
ington. This time his discharge is unoondi-
tional, and he is henceforth free man, and
can come and go without molestation, unless a
new indictment should be found against him.
This termination to the almost interminable
prosecution of the last of the assassination
conspirators is quite as satisfactory as we
could expect and in all probability the most
auspicious that could be secured. He would
never have been convicted by Washington
jury of any offense, unless that jury were
packed one. So it is better that he should be
set at liberty without further attempts at
bringing him to justice, although the new tes-
timony which has been secured would doubt
less have removed the slightest technical diff. e.
Guilty in the way of conclusively establishing
his guilt. Whatever Washington jury of
Rebel sympathizers may say to the contrary,
Surratt goes out into the world branded with
participation in the most revolving crime of
the century. More than this, his heartless
desertion of his mother in the hour of her
peril proclaims him the most degenerate of
sons. Altogether, his punishment is suffi-
ciently great, and justice fully vindicated.

That very "white" Boy in Blue, yclept
John A. McClernand, whose military record
presents continued series of failures, was at
one time not quite so deeply imbued with the
principles of the Hampton-Democracy as he is
at present. He declared, in very loud
mouthed fashion, with slight touch of BIAS
phemy in his words, that the leaders of the
Rebellion shave been guilty of the most stu
pendous crime perpetrated since the cruel
fxion of our Saviour" But the gallant
General was led to take different view o.
their monstrous offense by the manner in
which they received him on the field
of battle. The soldiers who could put McCler-
nand to rout could not be other than saints
of the first water, redolent with the odor of
holiness. Hence, as soon as the smoke of the
conflict is cleared away, and McClernand is per-
mitted to see just where he stands, he hastens
to join the ranks of the men whom he SO
vilely slandered. Having never achieved a
victory on the field of battle, he takes diffe-
rent view of the crime Of rebellion, regards
the war as failure, believes negro slavery to
be divine institution, favors the repudiation
OF the national debt, prates volubly about the
beauties of white mans government, and
goes for Seymour and Blair with all the lit
tleness of soul of which he is possessed. As
"white" Boy in Blue he is unexceptionably
model.

MAINE has done nobly. The official returns
of the vote at the recent State election are now
nearly all in, and Republican majority OF
2O,4O4 is shown beyond all Democratic cavil.
This gives a Republican increase on the
majority alone of nearly 5000. If Pennsylva-
mia will do half as well in October, the
November election will be mere matter of
form. We hope the Democracy will not take
the official returns from Maine too much to
heart. They have persisted from the first in
declaring that the Republican majority would
not exceed $1,000. An addition of 5000 votes
on majority is quite as significant as would
be the lengthening of a mans nose by an
inch.

case which led L'Opinion Nationale to exolaim,
"Thank God for this |" when It was announced
by one Of Napoleon's judicial tools, that the
mere raising Of the CRY "Vive La Lanterne Z"
does not, according the latest revision Of the
Code Napoleon, constitute in itself an act
sedition. The liberal-minded journalists o
Paris are so completely hemmed in on every
hand that they are rendered profoundly thank
full for the smallest sort OF favors.

GENERAL WILLIAM G. WrcKHAM, one Of the
Confederate leaders, repudiates in toto the
Hampton-Democracy, and declares himself for
Grant and Colfax. He declares his position in
the following sensible language:-
"The election of Grant and Colfax 1 regard as
the only means OF bringing back prosperity 10
the Southern States, by giving us aspeedy and
definite solution OF all the difficult questions
that now embarrass us; while, on the other
hand, l think the election of Seymour and Blair
settled by the Reconstruction acts, and by Civ
ing new hope to the disunion party, which lis
not dead, but sleepeth,' bring upon us fresh dis
quietude, and, by Keeping alive issues OF race
and section, involve us In further disasters"
General Wckham is true friend OF the
South. He appreciates fully the gravity Of
the situation, recognizes the fact that disaster
and ruin are as certain to follow the election
of Seymour end Blair as darkness the setting
of the sun, believes that the election OF
Grant is the only road to peace, union, and
prosperity; and hence, like gallant soldier
fairly beaten in square and open fight, is
willing and anxious to put aside the past, and
to contribute all in his power towards the
pacifcation of the country at large and the
happiness and welfare of his own people in
particular. In this he shows himself to be as
wise man and as true patriot as Long
street, and better friend to the South than
the whole array Of Blairs, Beauregards, Han
cocks, Forests, McClernands, and Hamptons
combined.

THE DEMOCRACY have been shouting over
Colorado, but they failed to wait until they
were out of the woods. The complete returns
are now in, and the Republican candidate for
delegate to Congress is elected by majority
Of 79-not very large, but decidedly better
than the election of his opponent. The gains
in Colorado seem to resemble those of Maine.

Negro Orgies.

Some two weeks ago, of a Saturday even
ing, a lot of negroes got together in room
in q small tenement house in the " Fau-
bourg,n and went to fiddling and dancing.
in the next house was a negro woman sick
tonto death, who sent messenger to re-
quest the negroes to stop their dancing on
account Of the sick woman. But they beat
and kicked the messenger and kept up
their fddling and calling and dancing
till daylight, Sunday morning, much to the
discomfort, If not danger to the sick one,
who died in a few days after. The negro
friends of the deceased then assembled in
the room where the corpse lay, about nine
o'clock in the evening, and held regular
- wake" all night long, to the disturbance
of everybody in the neighborhood. No
Irish awake" that we ever saw would COM
pare with it. They acted more like the

can compare them to; and as the night ad-
