John Surratt, the fellow suspected Of
participating in the assassination of presi-
dent Lincoln, and tried and acquitted, was
lecturing upon that subject in several pla-
ces of the United States disclaimiug any
participation in that crime, but openly con-
Tossing his participation in an abduction
plot of Mr.. Lincoln, which however, could
not be carried out.
The New York Rorla justly denounced
severely the lectures, and the New York
Globe also pays its attention to this fellow
in the following manner:
If John H. Surratt's pCcuuiary neecssi-
ties force him to do something for his own
support, let him go to work quietly aud
modestly, like an honest man, and not at
tempt to coin money out of an infamy 50

I malice under The guise Of friendship.'
I--.lo4Fal.
This Is the caption ofan article in The
last number Of the Democratic organ Of
this county. in reply to an article in our
paper in relation to Dir. Hall for Uuited
States Senator. The assertion that our
articles have been written ia malice un-
der the guise Of friendship. = is not true.
We noticed Alr. Halls name favorably
mentioned in a number Of our State ex-
changes. aud We thought We had the right.
without consulting the editor Of the Jour
nal. to give our views as to whom We
would rather sec elected to the United
States Senate, from the Democratic party.
Consequently We favored the election Of
Mr.. Hall, and gayo our reasons for it,
This seemed to have stirred up the "bile'
in our ueighbor. and be insiuuated that
We had better mind our own business
Well, dear brother, We do not intend that
you shall dictate to US. or course we'll
not NEEDLE with yotr business. II it is
your province to select the United States
Senator; then we are sorry we offended
you. by naming Mr.. Hall But we can't
SEQ that you have absolute control of this
matter. and therefore, will speak as We
please. and advocate whom we please.
Now, neigbbor, how can you claim to
be a friend to Mr.. Hall, when you fight
against him?
Why do you cry Mr. Hall down, when
be is mentioned for some high position2
Don't you show malice under tile guise
Of friendship by whipping Mr.. Hall over
our shoulders2
Where was tie necessity for you to
complain of our articles as malice under
the guisc of friendship" il you arep friend
to Mr.. Hall?
No sir, the truth is. yOu arc an enemy
to Mr.. Hall, and are jealous of him. We
give as proof that while other papers in
the State have named Mr.. Hall in con-
nection with others for United States SEN
ate, you have never made honorable mon
ton OIL uame2
And again, if Mr.. Hall does not COM
plain of our articles, why do you? Please
answer this question.
Thcn, again, you show your "malico
under the guise Of friendship" in this:
by looking over the files of the Regis
ter, we find it not only short time JON.
paratively since it was throwing dirt in
Mr.. Halls face in another way, and only
desisted in its course, when Mr. George
Martin handed the editor polite not erom
Mr.. Hall. We hope tho Registsr's course
maynot makoit necessary for "a repeti-
ton 3
To this we will say that We received the
note referred to, some three years ago, but
instead Of containing any threat as The
journal would have its readers understand,
twas directly the opposite. An editor
who thus stoOps so low, in order to
bring up matter that is calculated to
wound the feelings of all concerned,
would to resort to any means to attain his
ends. For our part we have no desire to
mention this matter, nor can anything
the Jo~aal may say drive US into it.

Welearu from the Pittsburgh CONNER
ciql, that the feeling is general amOngth
best men in Congress that resumption Of
specie payment can easily be accomplished
within u year, and that it should be done
before the next Presidential campaign,
as tho browning good work of the Re-
publican party.
The same paper remarks that these arc
welcome promises, but the last reason
seems to be scarcely pertinent. If specie
payments can be resumed, we don't sec
that it is necessary to urge tho good Of the
party. US a strong argument in favor of
such legislation. If resumption will not
be good on its own merits it cannot be a
good measure for the Republican party.
