Tho New York Herald very properly eondsmns
the unaceoumtalbe action OF the Government in
sending np ne MissoaIi tWO tAOasana Sharpsa
rifles In caSso ot Indian supplies for the use Of
the poor red man. General Sheridan, il seems,
has called the attention OF the War Department
to this latest form OF beneVOlsnce; but it is sx-
tFemeiy doubtful whether anything via be done
TO correct the criminal blURdeF until the Iamb-like
Indian Commissioners are consulted aud thar
views are obtained Of abe measure. Oas OF the
most lnhasntial OF them, Mr.. GsoRgs u. Stuart, Of

MRS. SURRATT.
Judge-AdTOeate-Ge Holt Affected
with q TWinge Of Conscience.
What il PrOduced-He Did Not With
hold the Recommendation to q
Mercy.

WAsHIEGTON, August 26.-JUdge.
Advocate-G General Holt publishes in the
Chronicle to-day q statement defending
himself from the charges that he. when
presenting a record of the trial of Mrs
Surratt, to President Johnson, withheld
from him petition signed by five mem
bers of the court recommending, in con-
sequence of her age and sex, commuta-
ton of her death-sentence to impTison-
ment for life. The commutation en-
braces a letter from Judge Holt to Secre-
tary Belknap, denying, ip toto, the as
sertions referred to, and offering, as
proofs of his innocence, letters from
Judge Bingham, Ex-AttOrney-G General
Speed, Hon. James Harlan, Rev. DR.
Butler, pastor of st. Paul's church, and
many others, all Of which are to the ef-
feet that the record Of the trial and the
petition in favor of Mrs. Surratt were
ia the Presidents Office before the exc
cution of the cOnspirators. Judge Bing-
hams letter, dated February Il, 1873,
states that, having drawn the petition in
behalf of Mrs. Surratt, and having after
her execution heard the report that II
had been withheld from the President,
he called on the secretaries of state and
war. Seward and Stanton, and was as
sUred by chem that the communication
had been before the President and had
been considered by him and his advis-
ers before the death-sentence of Mrs.
Surratt had been approved, and that the
President and cabinet, upon such con-
sideratiOn, were q unit in denying the
prayer of the petition.

VIRGINIA.

THE Fredericksburg Herald is very
sanguine of the election of Kemper, the
conservative candidate, for governor in
Virginia, and to prove there is good
ground for feeling so, draws on the
figures and facts in this way. 1t says
there are in the State, according to the
last census, about 10000 white voters
TO about 10000 colored, which gives
the whites an excess Of 10000, which
they undoubtedly have. Out Of the
white vote the Radicals will poll about
1890 out of $50, 900, which will proba-
bly, be cast. Ofthe colOred vote about
%, 600 will, through the various appli-
ances, be brought to the polls, which is in
exact proportion according to pOpula-
tiOn as compaoed with the white vote.
Ninety thousand Of the colored vote will
go for Hughes and 5000 for Kemper. Add
the 3OtJ colored votes to the 1l3, 1000
wh.Ce and we have 10000 in round
I1umbers for General Kemper. Add the
j 900 white 10 the 1900 colored voters
and we give Colonel Hughes l07, 600
provided a full vote Of each party goes
10 the polls. 1t will be seen by our cal
culation, which We think fair one, that
the conservatives have a marginal vote
Of90o0 to go upon, and we may safely as
sumo that General Kemper's majority
will not fall below the figures presented by
us, but viii be rather above. Wegive to
Hughes 5000 more whites than voted
for Wells in 1869, which We think will
fully cover the detection in that quarter,
and upon the other hand We claim
5000 eolored voters for Kemper, which
We believe is less than the number who
voted for Walker.

CHEAP FREIGHTS.
Competition the Life OF Trade-FrOm
New York TO the West.

NEW YORK, August 26.-Competition
between tTunk-lines for western freight
continues, and further general reduc-
tiOns in tariffs by the Erie, New York
Central, and Pennsylvania Central, have
Just been adopted. The following is a
list Of stations with reductions and new
rates per hundred weight for fast first
class general merchandise, which in
cludes dry-goods, boots and shoes,
ready-made clothing, etc: New York
10 Toledo, reduced from 5Sc to Bic; New
York to Detroit, from 53c to 2Sc; tC
Cleveland, Ohio, from AGE to 26c; tO
COlum bus, Ohio, from soc to 32c; TO Gin
clnnai, Ohio, from zoe to 37c; to India
napoiis, from sic 10 3Sc; to Louisville,
from S6c to 39c; to Nashville, Tennessee,
from 81 10 to 73c; to Memphis, Tennes-
see, from 81 30 to 9Sc; TO ST. Louis, Misscu-
ri, from 97c 10 soc; 70 Fort Wayne, Indi-
diana.from IS to 35c;to Chicago and Mil
waukee, from SO to 2Sc;to Atchison and
Leavenworth, from 81 SO TO SIC; to Kan
sas and st. Joseph, from 81 80 to 97c;
TO Lake Erie ports, which include Gle
veland, Toledo and Detroit, the steam
rates have been reduced to 24c; to Lake
Michigan ports, which includes Chica-
gs, Milwaukee and Green Bay, with
steam around the lakes the tariff is 27e.
Several Of the outside city railway
ticket-offices have recently made con-
siderable reduction of prices of tickets
to the principal points in the west. The
fare to Cleveland is thus reduced from
Sl4 25 to Sl2 80 to Chicago, and from So
to ) Is 80 to Cincinnati. None of tue
regular Broadway offices have been au-
thorized to make any reduction, but
they will probably be compelled to come
down TO cheap rates or lose their busi-
ness.

on our fourth page, reminds Us of the
the heroism of Miss Cohen, one of the
passengers, who, to save her cousins
life. tore up her dress and one petticoat,
and, splicing a rope with the twisted
remnants, secured her kinsman from
a watery grave. There was in
that simple act the truest hero
ism, akin to that manifested by
a young lady from Texas, who
last week tore OFF under-gsrment after
garment until she came to the last and
gave that, too, to make bsndages for
the wounded in the great railroad dis
sster near Chicago. All she had OF
clothing but her outside dress went fOI
those whose cries reached her pure,
good womanly heart. Who viii now
say that all our women are enervated by
fashion and folly, or that they cannot
furnish their quote to the noble ranks OF
the self-sacrificing.
