pym the Tribune.
The telegraph brought u, last week, an in
teresting item from Washington, to the effect
that the Tresident visited the grounds of the
German, eharpehooters during their recent
-i7.e festival, and having been provided With
a .MiHWnt rifle, fired three times in sucoes-
Bion at the buirs-eye, hitting it ever time.
Some of the newspapers, wishing to make his
aocuracy appear still more remarkable, add to
the brief report of the telegraph the informa
tion, derived from special eouroes, that Mr.
Johnson, before he hit the bull'si-eye, had im
bibed several glasses of lager, and that after
i.a had done shooting be was louaiy cneerea,
nil Belted WllU luuumcmuw iwuijuDM
So
fr from disapproving of any part
of these
nrooeedings, we cordially approve
the whole
As for the lager, we are glad to hear of the
President taking anything so weak, and
though, with a politeness that does it credit,
the telegraph says nothing of how near the
amiable sportsman was to the bull's.eye when
he hit it, we are bo pleased with the oonde
aoennion of the thing that we will express no
rude doubts as to his skill. With a magnifi
cent rifle in his hands, his spirits genially ex
cited by a few glasses of lager, a very large
bull's-eye placed comfortably near, and an
admiring world at gaze, we think the epeotaole
of the President hitting the mark three times
in auooession a picture that ought at onoe to
be consecrated by the talent of Mr. Powell,
and set np in whatever vacant space Mr. Leutze
may have left in the Capitol.
And yet, we cannot but contrast the Presi
dent's suooess in hitting this particular bull's
eye, with the lamentable failures he has made
whenever he has tried to hit anything else.
He has fired off innumerable guns, pop-guns,
and Bquirts, but the mortifying result has
uniformly been that the only game he has
brought down has been himself. The recoil of
his pieoe has floored him without fail, lie
has repeatedly been hoist with own petard.
First, he tried his hand at Congress; but that
obdurate body, so far from being afraid of
him, seems to have concluded that the safest
place for it to stand was directly in front of
sis rifle's muzzle, as 'twas plain whatever he
aimed at he was sure to miss.
Then there is Phil. Sheridan. The President
has failed so signally to hit that bull's-eye that
it makes his success at the German Festival
seem either miraculous or accidental. Sheri
dan is a splendid target to aim at; there is no
reason, apparently, why the President should
not hit him. Congress has left a sufficiently
magnificent rifle within his reach, if it did not
actually put it in his hands. No doubt he has
taken plenty of lager, if not something else,
While, if he should once hit that shining mark,
no one can doubt that he would be showered
with Rebel bouquets in plenty. But, thus far,
he has done nothing but put his rifle to his
shoulder, and bring it down again. Some say
he is afraid: others sav that Grant won't let
him fire; but, whatever may be his reason, that
bull's-eye is yet to be hit.
The last mark the President has missed has
been Mr. Stanton, whom he has at last hit,
but with only the most ludicrous result. There
stands the target our venerable marksman
walks straight np to it with a confident air,
and takes aim at it with the sublimest assu
rance of success. But, alas 1 as the smoke
clears away, a very different spectacle is pre
sented from what his admirers hoped. It is
not Mr. Stanton who is sprawling in the dust,
but the valiant Tennesseean himself, who,
though apparently ignorant that he is shot,
will sooner or later feel the wound.
The Surratt Trial.
From the Time.
The endeavor of "Washington correspondents
to explain the result of the Surratt trial by a
reference to the geographical origin of the
jurors, is puerile. As a matter of fact, nothing
is or can be authoritatively known touohing
the ballots of the jurors; at the best, the
reports in circulation are gossip and conjec
ture. But assuming the correctness of the
statement that the eight who were for acquittal
were born in certain localities, while the four
who favored a verdict of guilty were born in
other localities what then? Doe3 it follow
that the eight are less likely to respeot their
oaths, or less capable of judging of the evi-
aence, man meir ieiiows r is it not quite as
probable that the four were in this position ?
Or if it be said that the eight wore intent upon
acquitting the prisoner at all hazards, is it not
equally fair to assert that the four were intent
upon convicting him, with or without evidence f
The argument cuts both ways, and is too silly
to ue used serious ly. liesiaes, trie accoin
panying intimation that on a charge of oon
spiracy alone an unanimous verdict of guilty
would have been at pnee rendered, disproves
the other feature of the story.
Whatever partisans may say on the subjeot,
the great body of the publio reoognlze wide
room for doubt in the testimony adduoed.
That Surratt is guilty of some crime is uni
versally conceded, but it does not follow that
he should be hanged for murder, whether the
evidence waB conclusive or not. , The angry
Btate of the publio mind which would have in
sisted upon that conclusion is happily ended.
"With the restoration of the forms of civil law
came fair play even for a suspected murderer,
with all the chanoes of the jury system. To
interfere with that system avowedly to secure
a conviction in this case as some indiscreet
writers suggest would be utterly indefensible.
The Springfield Republican remarks justly
that any new trial on which the Government
may enter should proceed on a charge of par
ticipation in the conspiracy, leaving complicity
in the assassination out of the aooount.
Otherwise, another trial "would be a useless
expenditure of time, money, and temper, and
altogether an unsatisfactory experiment."

The popularity of General Grant is a sharp
thorn in the sides of the politicians, and goads
them on to say and do many foolish things.
Greeley gives vent to his petulance after a
curious fashion. Ue says : "How happens it
that every renegade from radicalism is so
vociferous for Grant f What is 'the mystio
tie that binds' our Weeds and Bennetts, our
iacksliders from everything Republican but
the loaveB and fishes, in such loving accord
that Grant is our only man for President f la

couples our name with that of Thurlow Wend,
be becomes impertinent and Insulting. We
have never had any aHSoclatlon with any
political party whatever, Whip, Demooratio,
Free Soil, Abolition, Know-Nothing, Republi
can, Radical, or Woman's Rights, while
Greeley has been floundering about in the mud
and filth of all of them by turns. Our mission
has been to support good measures, without
regard to the source from which they came,
and to denounce bad measures and bad
men, irrespective of political considerations.
Our independence of all party has enabled U3
to stand firmly by the interests of the people,
and we have never accepted any "loaves anil
fishes" from any administration, nor soiled
our hands by any association with any party
broker or lobby agent. To be sure, President
Lincoln tendered us the mission to Paris, as
Johnson offered Greeley the mission to Vienna:
but in both cases the honor was declined. We
support Grant because we recoguize in him a
soldier and a patriot who is independent of
party, and over whom political wiro-workers
can exercise no influence nor control, and we
shall press his claims to the Presidency with
the more vigor because we find the whole pack
or political bloodhounds snarling and yelping
at his heels.
What la Ileal ly
Htnnt by
Policy. .
ait Inflation
From the Tribune.
"When you hear a man talking of the Con
stitution," said the Andrew Johnson of a few
years ago, "spot him he is a traitor 1" The
statement was rather sweeping, but there was
a kernel of truth in it. And so, when a poli
tician demonstrates against high Federal taxes,
and wants the currency kept inflated to ease
their burden, or insists that the national faith
shall be violated, by exposing to taxation
bonds which are exempted from taxation by
the express terms of their issue, you may be
sure that repudiation is his real purpose.
The Ucrald has a shrewd letter from a
Western correspondent, who says that the
Western Copperheads mean to run George II.
Pendleton for next President, and to use the
general repugnance to paying taxes as party
capital, lie says:
. "They desire to raise an Issue on which they
can demand a dlstluollve Democratic politician
as their standard-bearer. To Mils end they are
beginning to agitate the policy of a repudiation
of the national debt, a complete wiping out of
all our liabilities, and a recommencement all
round under a return to a specie basis.
"The boldest among the western Democrats
do not hesitate openly to avow the doctrine of
entire repudiation. They believe that It will
carry the masses with it, and sweep everything
before It. 'Go into any publio meeting,' say
many of their prominent men, 'and you wlil
And nlne-lentlis of those present in lavorof
repudiation.' Ask them why they should
grind out their lives and pi noli their families
in order to pay the debt Incurred for a war
which they had no baud in making, and
which has only enriched the politicians who
brought It upon us, and they will nearly all
range themselves upon our side. Htlll the cau
tious politicians desire to approach the sub
ject by more Indirect paths. The policy they
now advocate is the wiping outof the whole
national debt bv an Issue of greenbacks to the
amount of twenty-five hundred millions, can
celling all the interest-bearing bonds, and
stopping the circulation of the national banks,
thus saving the country the twenty millions
annually squandered upon those institutions.
This Is well understood to be the programme
upon which Pendleton is to be put forward for
the Presidential nomination, as foreshadowed
by tne position or his conuuentiai organs, nut
behind this stands the ultimate result of repu
diation, which will be rendered more easy of
accomplishment under tbe depression which
such an inflation would occasion lu the na
tional currency."
Our readers will bear witness that we have
steadily opposed all these "indirect paths" to
repudiation as only more knavish than
direct, unblushing rascality. The American
people, in order to sustain their national ex
istence, were constrained to borrow twenty-
five hundred millions of dollars. They ob
tained this vast sum on the best possible terms
eagerly accepting bills for loans from native
and foreigner, Republican and Democrat, War
Unionist or Copperhead. JNo man can say that
he might not have had all the bonds he chose
to take on the same terms with those who did
take them. Now it is the imperative dictate of
honesty and good faith that we shall pay these
loans precisely as we contracted to pay them.
The pretense of paying them by issuing
twenty-five hundred millions of new green
tacks, redeemable in notking, and proffering
these to every publio creditor, dollar for dol
lar, in lieu of the principal and interest in gold
that we owe him, would shame any swindler
who ever uttered counterfeit money, or passed
off bogus checks. No one will countenance any
of these devices for evading debts instead of
paying them, who is not in heart and soul a
villain. Any Republican or War Democrat
who lends them a shadow of countenance
proves himself an ingrate, a villain, and a fool.
We are quite willing to see the Copperheads
place themselves on a platlorm or repudiation,
for it is high time that a career of infamy

The Ashley-Conover Conspiracy.
From the World.
Not the least extraordinary circumstanoe
connepted with the Ashley-Conover conspi
racy to suborn witnesses to implicate Presi
dent Johnson in the assassination scheme, is
the manner in which the whole matter has
been treated by the leading journals of both
political parties. The Democratlo press natu
rally heBitates to accept as trustworthy any
thing coming from such a source as Con-
over a convicted perjurer, sentenced . to
At. J it . ,
iuo penitentiary, ana to whom a par
don lias been relused. The radical journals,
on the other hand, dare not say that Conover's
remarkable statements about Ashlev. But.
ler and Company are false. The tribune,'
to be sure, Speaks of the whole as "a pre
tended revelation of radioal wickedness,"
but it does not claim that Ashley's notes to
Conover are forgeries; , on the contrary, it
admits that Ashley wrote them, and characte
rizes them as "brief and meagre," and says
that they "can only be linked with Conover's
charges by powers of imagination" which the
Tribune thinks would be extraordinary for Mr.
Stanbery. Nor does Mr. Ashley deny his oon
neetion with Conover in this affair. Butler is
yet to be heard from in relation to this matter;
Holt is on the ground, and he refrains from
F"nt; and Riddle, who is a member of the
Washington Bar, makes no sign. If the "pre
1 ion of radical wickedness" was

We have yet to learn whether Conover's
ptuiishment for perjury was not procured ex
pressly to put him out of the way, because he
knew too much of what had beeu planned
and purposed. " It would be interesting to
know if Ashley, Holt, and Riddle were sin
cere in their application for the pardon of
Conover, and if this very application was
not a trap for the President. It could be said
by his enemies that he pardoned Conover from
fear of him; that be bought him off from
producing those terrible witnesses who were
to tell all the dreadful things they kuew
about Mr. Johnson's connection with the as
sassination scheme. We have Conover's side
of the story; now let us hear what his friends
and partners, with whom he seems to have
quarrelled, say about it. There is a trite
adage about one class of people falling out
and another class gaining thereby. With the
statements of Ashley and Butler, as well as
Conover, the public may get a real rather
than "pretended revelation of the radical
wickedness" which, not long ago, threatened
to impeach the President as a conspirator
with assassins.
Anomalies In the "Wheat Market.
From the World.
Our market for breadstufls presents no end
of anomalies at this time. That which is
noted in our report of yesterday's business
illustrates how completely we are dependent
upon the new crop of wheat for bread. There
is very little old flour, or flour from old
wheat, in the market, and so great is the com
petition for the old, that medium grades from
spring wheat bring as much as Hour of choice
grades from new winter wheat. To illustrate.
The highest grades of old flour from spring
wheat sold yesterday at $13 per barrel, while
double extra Ohio, from new wheat, could be
bought at $12. Extra State that had become
sour sold from nine to ten dollars a barrel,
while new "seconds" of winter sold at
$$25. Of course, every day improves
the ' new flour, and it will grow
in favor with the bakers. Until they use
it, however, no great increase can be expected
in the size of loaves. There ia another un
usual feature to the trade. There is scarcely
any wheat on the canal bound for tide-water.
The last statement gave the quantity at 35,000
bushels. The statement of the stock made up
yesterday showed that we had in store only
08,000 bushels, or about one week's supply
for four millers. Whence, then, the supply f
It is coming forward by rail, mainly over the
Erie Road. This road brought large quantities
of corn to this market last spring, when specu
lators had carried up prices to extreme figures;
it has received sufficient encouragement to
make special arrangements for the transporta
tion of grain in bulk; and it is well that it has
done so; for, without the supplies thus de
livered to us, our local millers would now be
idle for the want of wheat. The past has in
deed been a memorable year in the markets
for flour and grain; and we must hope that we
shall not again come so near to the famine
which we have barely escaped.
Alleged Bribery and Corruption in
Itichmonu.
Richmond, Va., August 13. Tbe cae of Col-
lector James, indicted for malfeasance in office.
was tried yesterday in the United States Circuit
Court. Captain Smith, the principal witness
for the prosecution, wits examined to prove the
reception of a bribe ot $1000 on the part of the
Collector. The witness stated that James re
ceived the money on the pretense of its being
offered in recompense for the use of his patent
separator,. an apparatus for discriminating high
Irom low wines. One of the party, who sub
scribed the $1000, testified he had no other mo
tive than that of securing the use of James'
separator. After this the case was adjourned.
Three counts in the indictment were quashed at
the opening of the proceedings, and but one
count, that of the alleged bribe, remains, upon
which the trial is based.
Kelly, who assaulted Captain Smith, ex-Internal
Revenue Inspector, as mentioned in a pre
vious despatch, was discharged, Smith (ailing
to appear as prosecutor, being apprehensive, it
is said, of unpleasant domestic disclosures.
General GlUmore and Negro Suffrage.
Fremont, Ohio, August 1. The Lemocralio
Messenger of this city, in one of its issues of this
week, contains an editorial notice of a serenade
given to Major-General Q. A. Gillmore, last
baturday evening, at the residence ot Captain
Flint. Alter stating that the General thanked
the serenading party "in a neat and sensible
speech," the Botice closes with the gratuitous
statement : " He does not go lor nero
suflrage." This assertion is directly opposed to
the General's well-known sentiments upon the
sunraue question, and so entirely at variance with
his official couduct and antecedents while In com
mand ot South Carolina tor two terms.embracine
a period of nearly two years' duration, tuat I
deem It but an act ol justice to that officer that
his speech should be published correctly and in
lull, in order that this attempt, for purely party
Eurposes, to place him in a false position before
is many warm friends and the public, may not
succeed. Ueneial Gillmore was perhaps the
first amone the officers ot our Government to
give an official sanction to the exeicise of im
partial rights of sutlruge by negroes. I reler to
the election for Mavor of Fernancltna, Florida,
in the spring of 1865, where whites and blacks
both voted, and which was formally confirmed
by an official order from the General. What
the General did say and all that he said on the
occasion of the serenade, is as iollows:
