WASHINGTON, September 23.-The argument
on the special plea in the Surratt case was
concluded to-day. Mr.. Riddle, for the prose
cution, argued that the act Of Congress oi
January 19, 1867, nullifed the Presidents am
nesty power; and, further, that even If the
proclamation was patent, Surratt was within
it's exceptions. Judge Wylie's decision sus-
tanned the potency Of the amnesty proclama-
ton, but rejected the special plea, saying SIT
does not appear from the record that the pris-
oner adhered TO the enemy, or that he COM
mitted treason, and, therefore, he does not
come within the proclamation. The offence is
misdemeanor and is not covered by the terms
Of the proclamation" For these reasons he
sustained the demurrer. Tne defence asked
leave to amend their plea, and the court ad-
journed.
Gen. Meade is here and has had an inter-
view with the President. Gen. Schofeld has
instructed Gen. Meade to proceed at once to
his headquarters, and the latter accordingly
started this evening.
Gen. Reynolds reports from Austin, Texas,
that detachment Of the 9th cavalry from Fort
Davis overlook two hundred Indians, and
killed thirty and wounded thirty. They res
cued two captives, captured two hundred ami
mails, and destroyed the Indian camp and win
ter supplies.
Gen. Hatch, Bureau Commissioner for Lou
isiana, is here, and has had interviews with
General Schcfeld and Howard.

steadily conducted upon the fundamental principle that
when the Government was saved from treason by the
sacrifices of its loyal citizens it must be exclusively
restored In their name and by their hands.
The WEEKLY CHRONICLE wAl be of the most use-

campaign has already opened, persons desirous of
ceiVing newspaper whose editors in constant

the Republican party in the North and West could not
do better than subscribe for it, 1t contains the latest

the whole under the exclusive superintendent of
able and accomplished newspaper man. Apart from its
political contents it is admirable family companion
and compares favorably with the established serials

in the fact that it is perfect reflector of the times
keeping pace with the movements of the age and par
tculary with the great struggle for the maintenance

strange Monstrosity.

A medical friend reports having seen
within the past week, while travelling
through the southern portion of Lincoln
county, wonderful human moustrosity.
1t is a we'll developed white child of
some ten years of age, walking, talking eat
ing, etc., in the most approved Juvenile
manner, with third arm growing from its
back, Immediately between the shoulders.
This arm, as called, is no Habby, useless
excresence, as is common in such freaks
of nature, but healthy, well-defned limb,
with separate and appropriate bones,
joints, muscles, etc., and applied by its
little owner to number Of strange uses.
In the center of plate of bone perman-
emily uniting the shoulder blades, is the
socket or first joint, permitting the limb
to be moved freely in all directions, by
means of several powerful and strangely
complicated muscles. From the socket
extends large triangular bone-or three
small bones combined-rerfoctly straight,
and about eight inches in length, termina-
ting in short flexible wrist, upon which
closely fits the hand. This hand is somc-
what in the shape and about the size Of an
ordinary funnel, with four fingers like pro-
joctons at equal distances about the rim.
The ingers have claw-liko nails, joints,
etc, and possess the power of opening
and closing rs in the ordinary Land, their
grip, however, being much more power
full. The palm, which seems already

The Doctor candidly declares that he

the entire body, is nothing more nor less
than a designed addition to it by its great

Indin OutraSea.

The San Antonio Herald says three
families of women and children were all
together at the house of one Of them, to
remain while the men we're gone to mill.
The Indians came to the house, after COM
mitting some depredations among the
stock in the neighborhood, and took away
these women and children, excelt one
woman, who had attempted to shoot them
on their entering the house, and who was
stabbed to the heart. The smaller chill
dren, who were unable to travel, were
killed within half mile of the house.
That is awful, and we cannot but agree
with the Herald in saying that "tho pre-
vailing policy in the treatment of these
Indians should be determination" This
took place not far from San Antonio.
The Indians are reported all through
Kerr, Kendall and Bandera counties.-
A woman named Wagner was killed by
them near Kerrville last week. A house
was burned by them in the same neighbor-
hood.-Galpeston .Ne,Vs.

Paying Subscribers.

Blessed is the man who doth subscribe
for his country paper, and pay therefor;
his feet shall not stand on slippery places,
he shall not be forsaken by his friends, or
prosecuted by his enemies, nor his chill
drcn seen begging.
Blessed is he that walketh to the Office
of the printer, yea, even ascondeth to the
sanctun, and payeth years subscription
in advance. Selah!
He shall learn wisdom day by day, and
be exalted above his fellows.
He shall talk knowingly upon all sub
jects, and his neighbors shall be astonishod
at the muchness OF his learning
He shall not contract bad debts or lose
good bargains.
He shall not pay an additional percent
on his taxes, for his eyes shall behold the
notice Of the collector, and lie will take
warning thereby.
Verify, he shall bring his produce to the
market when the prices are exceedingly
good, withhold when the prices descendoth
He shall not lay hold of red-hot pokers,
for his knowledge of netallurgy will teach
him that red-hot iron burns.
His children shall not vex him, nor his
wife wear the breeches.
He shall live to good old age, and
when his dying hour is at hand his soul
shall not be troubled as to its future state.
And it were better for him that doth
refuse to subscribe for his country paper
that he we're bound hand and foot and cast
upon feather bed.
IF perchancc he has a moments peace,
it is only that he may have a little rest ere
the memory of an evil life lacerates his
mind as the goad pricks the hide of the
strong OK, SO that his punishment may be
long drawn out.
His children shall grow up in wicked
ness, they shall put their hands to their
noses, and vex him to wrath, and his wife
shall kick him out of bed. Selah!
How beautifully and truthfully express
sed! Oh, that all of our delinquent sub
scribers could be induced to believe such
pleasant truths! Solomon, with all his
wisdom, never uttered better things, Or

The blessings promised are verify true;
and if there be any doubting Thomas let
them walk into our Office, or send by mail
their indebtedness, and we vouchsafe the
| blessings hundred fold. And when de-

A HORSE BANQUET IN ENGLAND.-A
horse banquet came offvery successfully at
the Langham Hotel, London, recently
The dining room was decorated with models
of horse heads, and dinner was elegantly
served, although some of the walters seemed
confused at the strange dishes which they
had to hand around. One expected every
moment to see the picture of comic paper
realized and to have the headwaiter ex-
claim to the cook, 'lsay, this is the second
time you have left the horses shoes in the
soup, This WON'T do, you know" About
one hundred and fifty guests, the most of
whom were rather squeamish, sat down to
the dinner, and the general verdict was like
the Yankees verdict on roast monkey, "lt's
very good, but I don't banker arterit again"
Photographs of the horses which had been
killed for the banquet were handed about
and also certificates from veterinary sur
eeon that the animals had been killed IN
good health and spirits. One Of the horses
was four years old, another twenty, and the
flesh of this pair of cart horses was equal
ly good, notwithstanding the disparity IN
age. The third horse had been worth seven
hundred guineas--nearly five thousand
paper dollars-in his prime, and was cele-
brated as-the best brougham horse in
! London.
