The Recent Exposure of False Swear
ins and lrt Throwing.
Fob a week past the Democratio papers bare
been In eostaciea over the pretended revela
tions of Charles A. Dunham, alias Sanford
Conover, sotting forth an attempt on the part
f Messrs. Ashley and Butler to induce him to
manufacture false testimony as to the com
plicity of President Johnson with the assassi
nation of Abraham Lincoln. The "documents"
luring been properly cooked up by one Brinck
ley, who signs himself as an Assistant Attorney-General,
were duly heralded forth to the
world, Mr. Brinckley rhetorically holding up
his hands in horror at the depravity mani
fested. The "revelations" were greedily
Seized upon by the poverty-stricken organs of
the Democracy, and for several days they have
been indulging in a luxury of display-heads,
emall-oapB, and other typographical stimulants
of the imagination of their readers. We are sorry
to say that their exultation has proved short
lived. The truth, as it comes out, shows that
the documents in regard to the application for
Conover's pardon had been garbled, and that
they really contained applications from several
bright and shining lights of the Democracy,
Buch as our old New Jersey friend, A. J.
Sogers, Congressmen Eldridge, of Wisconsin,
Riblaok, Le Blond, and William Radford.
It also turns out that Conover's statement
was furnished to Mr. Johnson by a criminal
named Rabe, as the price of a pardon, whioh
lie got, and also that a pardon had been
offered to Conover if he would put in the form
of an affidavit the charges whioh he had made
against Judge Holt and the Bureau of Military
Justice. Indeed, the main effort of all these
conspirators seems to have been to break
down Judge Holt. But the Judge carries
altogether too many guns for them. He now
gives (hem a taste of some faots on file in his
Bureau, which serve to show this whole affair
In ita true light, and which, perhaps, may
esplain why possession of the War Depart
ment, including its archives, has suddenly
become of so much importance to President
Johnson.
It seems that, about one year ago, a conspi
racy was entered into by Benjamin Wood, of
the New York Daily News, Roger A. Pryor, of
Rebel fame, Charles A. Dunham, alias Sanford
Conover, and probably others, for the purpose
of defaming Jndge Holt, and bringing the
Bureau of Military Justice into discredit.
Four affidavits are produced by parties who
Were approached by Conover, Wood, and
Pryor, and solicited to make depositions to
the effect that Judge Holt endeavored to get
them to falsely swear that Jefferson Davis was
.implicated in the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln. One of the parties proved impracti
cal, and told the conspirators, Wood, Pryor,
and Conover, after they had read the professed
deposition to him, that "he would see Jeff Davis
in h 1 before he would swear to such d d
lies." Pryor then told him that he hoped he
was a gentleman, and would consider what
had passed aB confidential.
Two of the parties made affidavits as de
sired, and were paid then and there for doing
80, with the 'promise of additional pay, if it
should beoome necessary to use the affidavits
further, or bring the parties into court. The
fourth person received $50 in hand, but as the
preparing of the affidavits in his case was
postponed from time to time by Pryor, he be
ame afraid of the affair and backed out,
t offering to return the money.
We see no cause to doubt the truthfulness
of these affidavits. They correspond exactly
with the character of Conover and Company's
last attempt. In the first case, Judge Holt
was to be charged with endeavoring to sum
mon witnesses to prove Jeff. Davis' complicity
with the assassination conspiracy; and in the
latter one, Representatives Ashley and Butler
are charged with doing the same to prove Pre
sident Johnson's complicity in it. There are
.said to be other interesting documents on file
in the Bureau of Military Justice.
We think, on the whole, that the Sanford
Conover investment is proving to be rather a
poor one for our Democratio friends, and that
they had better try some other tack at once.
How?
Opb Democratio contemporary, in a labored
article, whioh seeks to plaoe the condition of
the national finances in the worst possible
light, and which abounds only in empty plati
tudes and figures which every child of twelve
has known for years, concludes:
Tiili is a plain, truthful statement or tbe
debt and taxation now prettslDg upon the busi
ness Interests of tbe country, jjo tbe radi
cals propose any plao to decrease tbe debt and
i . .,4uh t.ha tJLxat.lnnt Thn rAvnnnnu nr no
, w, -UU I
Government are less tbau Its expeuses, and I
wtille tbls oontlnues vue debt aud taxation
moat Increase lnutead of diminishing. These
facta are readily nnaersioou oy all classes of
our oilleeno, aud tbey should be pondered over
&t thU time. As lon as tbe radical party re
mains in power, tbe debt aud taxation of tbe
nation. Btate, and city must continue to in
Crease." Well, we ask the financial Solons of the
Democratio party what they will do to decrease
taxation if the people plaoe them in power 1
What ia the balm by whioh they will alle
viate the ills which now affeot the pockets of
the people t We have a debt, and we have a
certain amount of interest to pay annually,
and to raise that interest the people must be
taxed at a certain rate. We do not see how
a remedy can be secured, except j repudiation.
That is the method by weans of which taxa
tion is to be reduced, and the dooiHion of
Judge Shars wood that the greenbacks are
illegal, is but the preparatory step to snoh a
consummation. If the people are in favor of
reduction in snoh a manner, they will take
the advice of our contemporary, and elect its
candidate to the Snpreme Judgeship.
Back Aoaii. General O. T. Beauregard,
accompanied by General Porter, of Pennsyl
vania, has been visiting Niagara. While he
was at the Cataract House the redoubtable
Jefferson Davis was across the stream at the
Clifton. He returns South by way of the
Hudson, stopping at West Point. We are at
a loss to conceive how he can return to the
soene of his youthful studies, and revisit the
spot where he learned, at the United States'
expense, all that enabled him to do so much
injury to his preceptor. Cadet Beauregard,
who graduated there years ago, with a bright
future, when contrasted with the ruined Rebel
of to-day, truly illustrates the motto, "That
the way of the transgressor is hard."
How to Eat Your Own Words.
That valiant hero of the flowing pen, Mr.
Joseph II. Bradley, Sr., is just now engaged in
the somewhat disagreeable task of eating his
own words. After his tmeute with Judge
FLher, he published his challenge in the
publio press. Of course, it is oustomary when
a duel is to be fought to publish it in the news
papers. The days of the tournament, the
defiance, the hurling and picking up of the
glove, have returned; and Bradley rather
thought he was surpassing De Bracy in his
style of daring a fellow-citizen to mortal com
bat. But alas for the caitiff degeneracy of our
times 1 The spirit ot chivalry is extinot l All
honor is a thing of the past I Instead of a Queen
of Beauty to reward the victor, instead of lists
and steeds and heralds and all that sort of thin
that used to be proper, a miserable hireling,
a minion of the law, proceeds to the residence
of the challenger, and the last seen of the
daring Bradley is when he has to enter $2000
bail to stand a trial for breaking the law.
Instead of the "pomp and circumstanoe of
glorious war," a policeman and a magistrate's
court are the reward of valor. Yet s uoh things
can be and not overcome us 1 In plaoe of a
successful tilt, Mr. Bradley is in great danger
of standing an imprisonment of five years on
the ground of sending a challenge.
In this awkward predicament, the fighting
lawyer is compelled to swallow his own dose,
lie states that his letter to Judge Fisher did
not mean a challenge, but merely a desire to
meet him, in order that an amicable under
standing could be brought about. This is cer
tainly humiliating to order coffee and pis.
tola for two, and then have to deolare that the
weapons were only intended for target prac
tice. The halo which has surrounded the
valiant lawyer is gradually vanishing, and we
are amazed to find in Bradley nothing more,
and, in fact, something less, than in ordinary
men.
Mr. McCulloch and His Appointments.
The Washington correspondent of one of our
morning contemporaries states that a great
pressure is being brought to bear upon the
President to secure the removal of Secretary
McCulloch, on the ground that his patronage
is given to opponents of the Administration; in
other words, that the hungry conservatives
do not get as much of the "loaves and fishes"
as they desire. We do not know how it is
elsewhere, but we can testify that, in this city,
three-fourths of the revenue officers appointed
by Mr. McCulloch are of the Democratio school.
Indeed, if we were to make any criticism upon
Mr. McCulloch's management, it would be that
he has sacrificed the true interests of the
revenue service to the exigencies of President
Johnson's political situation, and that the
department is administered not so much in the
interest of the Government as in that of the
Democratio party. We apprehend that this
conservative clamor against the Secretary
comes from politicians who have failed to use
him to further their own personal ends.
Fassage of the Reform Dill.
The Reform bill has finally passed both
Houses of Parliament, and received the
Queen's signature. The practical workings of
the measure remain to be seen. It is jproba
ble that no sudden or violent changes will be
witnessed. Parties are always more radical
out of power than when in its possession. Still,
Buch modifications of English laws as are de
manded by the people must now sooner or
later be made. The number of voters, it is
estimated, will be nearly or quite doubled by
the Reform bill, and so far, at least, the Gov
ernment has become more popular in its char
acter. That "Heroic People."
Jcarez, in his address to the Mexican people,
states that the Republic has been preserved
without any foreign aid, and that the Mexi
can people have no one to thank for the over
throw of the Empire but themselves. This is
doubtless very flattering to the vanity of that
vain people, but is bo utterly false as to
appear silly. The United States overthrew
the Empire by refusing recognition. The
valiant Mexican people either submitted, or
kept up a guerilla warfare against an enemy
not one-tenth as large as themselves. When
ever a regular battle was fought they were
whipped, and would to-day, so far as their
own exertions are concerned, have been sub
jects of Maximilian, and not citizens of a
republic We dislike bombast on principle,
but when so entirely false, it becomes silly.
II CM AN IIVOIBNI ASH HoRBKKLESH. TO keep
a horse healthy, keep his feet wet. To make a
man sick, follow the same formula. Which, la
the opinion of the Boston Transcript, proves
that man is not descended from the hone.
Soulless Fmilis.-a. lady who parts her lips
to show a fine set of teeth, real or artificial,
may flatter hcrseli that the achieves smile,
bat in truth she grins.
Tn New York Herald of this morning thus
llfrhtly touches upon Secretary McCulloch:
"We are assured, through a special despatch
from Washington, that the relations between
the President aud Secretary McCulloch are most
pleasant, and have been so since Mr. McCulloch's
first entrance Into the Cabinet. We must con
clude, then, that Mr. Johnson has been too much
occupied for the last year or so wilh the Stanton
question to give any attention to the affairs of
the Treasury Department. We can assure the
President, however, that if his relations with
the head of the Treasury are 'most pleasant,'
those of tbe coun'ry with him are not, aud are
not likely to be, on the road that he has chosen
and is now travelling."
Adviob to Ladiks. We do not know that the
following counsel to the fair sex has been
widely circulated, but many ladies act as if they
had considered aud determined to take it:
"If your dress draai a vard behind you in a
crowd, and a person slop upon it. turn upon
Mm with a look ibat will convince him that he
is a monster." -
Florida Cbops Tbe Mariana (Fla.) Courier
says the crop prospect in Jackson county is
much better than it was last year at this time.
Cotton is of good size and vigorous. Corn is
growing finely, aud the season is too far ad
vanced for any casualty to prevent a full crop
being made. Cane aud other food crjps are
doing well.
Disgusted Patriots. Tbe late action of the
Marjlaud Constitutional Convention, abolishing
all the salnries ot militia officers in Maryland,
dampens tbe ardor of many military aspirants

Baltimore Election. The new charter elec
tion in Baltimore is fixed for the fourth Wed
nesday in October next. There are almost a
hundred candidates for every office in the

Maine. The hay, corn, aud potato crops in
Maine arc growing luxuriantly, and promise an
abundant yield.
FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. ,
Prom Le FollcU
As Is usual at this time of the year, our
modistes prepare tbe mostelegant and recherche
as well as the simplest ot toilettes, and this
season they are certainly not behind-hand in
originality or good taste; and although some
may lie too eccentric to last, jet tbe larger
number of models are in such good tate that,
with very slight alterations, they will be quite
as appropriate for ton wear.
A short bkirt of white pique cut In sqnares
round the bottom, like tui rets, and edaei with
"Bismark' colored braid, each breadth cauuht
together by a ladder of brown braid, with the
smallest bows of the same colored ribbon
placed here and there, but not too closely to
gether. The petticoat al?o of pique, with three
rows of the brnid put strait round. Short pa'e
tot, cut and trimmed to'rnatcti the upper skirt;
sleeves nearly tight, also trimmed with braid.
The dress and paletot fastened with buttons of
brown bilk. The same model may be made of
toilet ecrue, sultane. or aloara, trimmed with
a braid of the same color, only a shade or two
dwrker than the dress; or, if of white alnaci or
sultane, rouleaux of colored or black silk may
be substituted.
Alpaca or woo'len materials are the most in
request (or sea-side dress; the petticoat, dress,
and paletot of th-? same material, and trimmed
to mutch. For this stylo of dress the new poil
dechcrre chine stripe 1, checked, or plain is
a charming material, preserving its freshness
so much loneer than almost any other, and not
easily Injured by rain.
There Is little"if any change in size and style
of bonnets. They are certainly not larger, but
many of our clever modistes have been so suc
cessful in making eleeant bead-dresses in the
pluce of the largo bonnets, that lor young faces
one cannot at least reeret the change: an la
coiffure of blonde or lace and flowers, skilfully
arraneed, is certainly not more unbecoming
than the large overtrimmed bonnets of bygono
days.
Tbe Yelverton Case Decided.
The House of Lords has given a final decision
in the Yelverton case, adverse to Miss Long
wortb. The London limes says:
"The long litigation in the Y elverton case is
brought to a close by the Judgment of the
House of Lords, which dismissed Mies Lonsr
worth's second appeal, and declared that the
Court of Sessions was justified in not allowing
the matter to be reopened by a praceeding
which, even if lawful, was inexpedient, and per
haps unjust. The judgment will not have for
tbe general public the interest of that former
one in which all the circumstances of the case,
and even the private correspondence of the
parties, were scanned by the most acute legal
intellects ol the time, aad in which the high
authority of Lords broueham and Westbury
was found opposed to the decUiou of a majority
of the law lord3.
"On the 28th of July, 1(U, their lordships de
livered judgment, aud the difficulty of tbe case
may be understood trom the difference of
opinion which was disclosed. The Lord Chan
cellor, Lord Westbury, and Lord Brougham,
whose written judgment, however, was not
received in Lis absence, were for affirming the
judgment of the court below. Lords Chelmsford,
Wenslejdale, and Kingsdown were of the con
trary opinion, and considered that the Scottish
court had wrongfully decided in favor of Miss
Longwortb. These being the majority, in con
sequence of the exclusion of Lord Brougham's
InHirmAYit 4kii I., -1 a. i . . i
juufmiu mo (uunLueui was reversea, and me re- i
epoudent declared not to be legally married to !
"The blow was a heavy one; but a woman,
when her mind is concentrated on one idea,
olten pursues it with a surpassing perseverance
and fortitude. Miss Longworth's passion was
to be declared the legal wife of Major Yelverton,
and this object, which, after what had passed,
would seem to have been almost valueless, she
would net forego as long as any expedient re
mained to be tried. 8be was advised that, ac
cording to ancient Scottish usage, one of the
parties to a suit may refer tbe cause to the oath
of tbe other, even tnouen the party thus tender
ing the reference is unable to adduce proof of
the facts alleged. The law on tbe subject may
be gathered sulHciemlv for a eeucral compre
hension of it from the Lord Chancellor's judg
ment; we need only state here that there seems
to be no doubt such a right of claiming a
reference to oath exists, but that in the opinion
of the House of Lords, as just pronounced, the
reference ought only to be made when the
Court shall deem it conducive to the ends of
)ustice.
'In the present case, the respondent, if he
answered affirmatively, would have admitted
himself to have been guilty of bigamy; or, if he
had refused to answer, Mrs. Forbes would have
De.pb conclusively deprived of all the rights
which she had acquired by her marriage with
the respondent.' The Lord Chancellor also hold
that in the case of a declaration of marriage the
competency of a reference to oath had been
taken away by statute, so that accumulated
reasons existed for affirming the judgment of
the conit below. The other lords concurred in
these opinions, and the appeal was dismissed.
' bo ends the long contest between Major Yel
verton and his unfortunate companion. What
ever may have been her Imprudences or her
errors, it is impossible not to feel reeret tor a
woman of education and of do small ability,
Whose life has been eo wrecked."

This amount was all paid in currency, and
much the larger portion, of it in Confederate
notes, so that the city does not owe anrthlng on
account thereof, unless, as is suggested, the city
notes issued during the years 1861, 1862, varying
in denominations from $2 down to ten cents,
$488.OW80 of which is yet unredeemed and out
standing, csn be construed to be a debtjiue by
the city on that aecount. The AnquiTsV atid
Eiam wr says: "If it should be the intention
of tbe military authorities to caue what may
be considered the war debt of the city to be re
pudiated, it can only apply to the small notes
outstanding at this time. In this event the city
will make $489 J83'R0, and the holders of these
small notes will be tbe losers."
An Kutlre Family In Henrico County
Poisoned.
Yesterday morning, shortly after the family
of Dr. J. II. I'atton, living in Henrico county,
two miles east of Richmond, had breakfasted,
some of the children were suddenly taken sic it.
An investigation showed that they were poisoned.
The Doctor UFed the proper remedies, and soon
had tbe poison out of their stomach. Before
this was accomplished bis wife was taken sick,
and shortly alter ards himself. Dr. Knok was
called in, and in a short while bad restored the
ent're family to their usual good health. It is
thought that poison was placed in the batter of
which cukes were made for breakfast. A negro
roan snd his wife are suspected of the crime. A
few d&ys since the Doctor hired them, but on
Monday, detecting the woman in some deriloc
tion of duty, discharged her. She left tbe lot,
but the hnsband remained. Yesterday morning
Mrs. Patton prepared breakfast, and the whole
family partook heartily of the battercakes.
