Coot, ItPERTixKXCC.The imper
tinence of the Letvislmrp Clictielt In mod
ling with tho nfliurs of tills county, would
e decidedly rcfrcsiiiri? if it wero not en
hold and stupid. The editor not only as
sumes tlio iirivitoge of dictating to, and
abusing the commissioners and the people
of this county, in regard to the new Court
House, hut what is ten times more nause
ous, proffers liia opinions and advice, in bad
English, with as many misstatements and
blunders as there are lines in tlio article. He
gravely informs his readers among other
things, that the Lcwislmrg bridge knocked
away a few piert of the Northumberland
bridge, which is certainly news in this
vicinity, and also, that "the new Court House
is to be stuck into a corner of the public
sqnaro, where the underground rooms, with
the papers there lestvved will lufliablo to the
dampness &c, f coming flood." Now the
fact is, tho new Court House is located only
80 feet from the old one, and the elevation
is about the came, and when the new build
ing is completed it will stand on higher
ground than the old one. We enn, in some
measure overlook the croakings and misstate
mcnts of some of the editors in this county,
but this "foreign iutervention" cannot be
tolerated. We an well imagine the dis
appointment of the Chronicle man in finding
ftli hopes of securing the upper townships,
of thi3 county, to bo attached to their own
forever banished by the erection of the new
county buildings at this place. But even
under such a trial, he should Icaru to exer
cise common discretion.

Aatiouiil Debts nnd I'. N. Stoeki.
The creation of national debts is not a
modem improvement, but the ability of a
great nation to provide for a great debt, and
to make it the most convenient and best
form of personal propel ty, is a modern won
der. The debt of Great Uritiiin was begun
by raising a million sterling by loan in 1092,
and when her great confest with Louis XIV.
was terminated, tho debt had reached fifty
millions. Many statesmen and economists
wore then alarmed at the great burden which
had been imposed upon the industry of the
country, but when tho war ot tho Austrian
mccession had swelled this amount tocightv
millions, Maraulav snvs that historians and .
irntors pronnunced the case to be desperate,
'Jut when war again broke out, and the
lational debt was rapidly carried up to one
hundred and forty millions, men of theory
ind business both pronounced that the fatal
lay had certainly arrived. David Hume
aid that, although, by taxing its energies
0 the utmost, the country might possibly
ive through it, the experiment must never
e repeated, even a small increase might
ie fatal. Granville said iiS nation must
ink under it unless sonio portion of the
)ad was borne by the American Colonies,
nd the attempt to impose this load pioduc
d the war of tho revolution, and, instead of
iminhhinij, added another hundred millions
1 the burden. Again, says Macaulay, was
'ngland given over, but again she was more
rosperous than ever before. Hut when at
ic close of her Napoleonic wars in 1810,
lis debt had been swelled up to the enor
.oiis sum of over eight hundred millions
erling, or four thousand three bundled
illion dollars, or nearly one half the entire
"operty of tho United Kingdom, the stout

In due time all the developments in tho

be presented to the public. Although much
has already been divulged, an immense
mass of damning testimony has been scru
pulously witheld for tho purpose of ena
bling those vho are investing the wide
ramifications of the most fearful crime of
history to lorgo every link of their chain of
convulsive evidence.
Tho disclosures, which are familiar to
every citizen, aro amply sufficient to prove
that Uootli was assisted by a large number
or accomplices whose prolonged devotion
to the Confederate service can only bo ex
plained by the fact tnat they were paid
emissaries of Davis, acting under his offi
cial orders us spies, mail-carriers, blockade
ruuness, pirates, incendiaries, and finally
as assassins.
Tho murder of President Johnson was
as deliberately planned a that of his la
mented predecessor. He owes his preserva
tion from the contemplated attack of Atzo
roth, only to that bravo's want of resolution,
or to that purely accidental circumstance.
His destruction was as confidently anticipa
ted as that of Lincoln and Seward, and as
carefully provided for. Thus certainly
three, probably more, of the foremost men
of the Republic were pre-arranged victims
of this horrible plot. Those who, in view of
the majestic discovery of the nation from
its terrible shock, wonder what rational mo
tive prompted the destruction of its lament
ed Chief, must remember thut villainy is at
best a blind demon, and that the failure ot
a portiou of the desperate device of treason
happily prevented us from realizing the
consequences of its entire success.

adventures, the attempt to tire the hotels in

New York, Majj 7.- -The steamship
America hat arrived, with Southampton
England) advices of April 20th.
The Timet says: "The end has como nt
last, and the great American war is virtually
closed by Lee's surrender of the nrmy of
Virginia. The tono of the correspondence
between Grant and Lee is honorable to both,
and the conditions were such as it was no
disgrace for an overmatched army to accept.
Not even Napoleon's grand army could
count a scries of more brilliant victories
than the army of Virginia. They were
victorious until victory was no longer to be
achieved by human valor, and then they
fell with honor. Two years ago Le might
hae escaped to Lynchburg, but now the
Federal Generals move as quick, and attack
as rapidly as Napoleon's marshals. The
Federal army is entitled to rank among the
very first of military nations, and all at
tempts to establish a Southern Confederacy
must be abandondad."
The Timet of Tuesday, April 25th, says :
"With the defeat of the Southerners ends
the gravest difficulties of the Federal Gov
ernment. After tho restoration of the
Federal authority and the reduction of the
South to obedience, an overwhelming pro
spect will open before Lincoln's Admiuistra'

the South and the restoration ot tho Union.
In the face of the political problems of tin
cxatnpled difficulty to be confronted, such
questions as the regeneration of the currency,
reform ot the tariff, and the management ot
the national debt, important as they are,
may appear insignificant.
Notwithstanding the strong sympathy
felt for the South at Liverpool, tho intelli
gence of Lcc's surrender was received with
great satisfaction causing increased confi
dence in commercial circles.
The London Timen, in Monday's leader,
also says: The fall of Richmond has been
followed by military disasters from which it
is impossible that tho South can recover.
The l'ime says there seems on the part of
President Lincoln a desire to conciliate his
vanquished fellow citizens, under the gui
dance of Mr. Seward, who has creditably
distinguished himself in the Cabinet by
moderate counsels, and whose life will, we
trust, be spared at this crisis to the Union.
He may by gentle means restore tranquility,
and perhaps before his term of office expires
calm in in some degree animosities which
have been raised by three years of war.
The daily Ktirt of Monday, after compli
menting Lee for surrendering, alludes to
President Lincoln's notification to foreign
nations to withdraw the regulations to
which Federal vessels are now subjected in
their ports, says this notice will not affect
us, as with our harbors at Halifax and in
the West Indies we have no occasion to
enter, much less remain in the ports of the
United States. It is therefore probably di
rected against other nations, whose con
stantly impending threat of recognition of
the South has, during the war, so added to
the difficulties and perplexities of the North.
Yet it will be right in the American Gov
ernment to remember that while it still
recognnizes the Confederates as belligerents,
it must allow foreign nations to act towards
both sides on the same footing w hen the re
bellion is so far crushed that the remaining
armies are dispersed, the remaining cities
occupied, and those who still resist are hung
as rebels. The North may c'aim from other
nations the acknowledgement that the state
of war has ceased. That time we hope and
think is very near, but till it comes we can
not help following the Federal example and
recognizing tho Confederates as belligerents.

In a recent speech, ex-Governor Wright,

"As to the cant about the negro's ability
to take care of himself, he had these facts
to relate, and he would do so without com
ment: In 1863 the Rebel Legislature of
South Carolina raised a committee to inquire
into the expediency of enslaving the 6,000
free negros of Charleston. The committee
reported against it, and stated that those
5,000 free negros paid into the treasury of
Charleston annually 25.000, and that their
property amounted to $1,500,000. Out of
that amount of property $300,000 worth of
it w as composed of slaves. That the 0,000
free negros of New Orleans in 1800 were
worth as much pereapita as the white peo
ple of Louisiana; that these free uegros had
their own schools, their own benevolent
societies, &c. These facts, he contended,
proved that the free negro was capable of
taking care of himself. He also stated that
a lady who owned 500 negros in 1800 told
him that she bad lost them aU but 200 by
the beginning ot 18(34. That year she made
a contract with them to cultivate her farm
on the shares, and that last year, under such
.a system, where the negro was working for
himself as well as for his mistress, the 200
made her more money than 600 bad done in
slavery.

More Rewards for Iekk Davis. It is
believed that the reward of $100,000, offer
ed for the apprehension of Jeff Davis, will

Why Ocij) was Ahtestf.h. The Rich
mond Whig, of Thursday, annouces the ur
rest of Robert Ould, lute of this city, but
more recently the rebel commissioner of
exchange. It is said that the government
took this course because of certain informa
tion that he had appropriated the money,
clothes, etc., sent from the North for our
ail tiering prisoners. Oi) the proceeds of this
robbery he is said to have fared sumptuous
ly, and' been the most showy man iu Rich
mond. Shenandoah Valley Eahi.y. This re
doubtable chief, w ho distinguished himself
so little in the Valley, is lying sick in Lynch
burg, a prisoner in our hands. He went to
Southwestern Virginia, but losing all hope
of success and all heart in the war, gave up
gracefully to our forces and the rheuma
tism. The Chicago Timet, which has eulogized
Mr. Lincoln since his death, and denouueed
his assassin in set terms, thus expressed it
self in its issue of July 1st. 1864:
"He (President Lincoln) could not be
more worthless dead than he is living, but
would be infinitely less mischievoue, and
his corpse, repulsive ns it would be in its
freshest state and most graceful habiliments
would yet be the most appropriate sacrifice
which the insulted nation could oiler in
atonement for its submission to his imbecili
ty and despotism."
Yet, now the same paper pretends to weep
over tlie grave of the murdered President,
and denounces the act of assassiualion it has
invited.
A Washington dispatch says:
''It is jaid President Johnson and Secre
tary Stanton betrayed a good deal of the
