He de sired that, in addition to the points of evi dence we had , conferred about, my state ments should contain others, and no gave me a memorandum of other points„which he requested me to incorporate in mystate inent (B). This memorandum I inclose, and I believe it is in Matchett's handwri ting (A). After preparing the statement I sent it to him; at Toledo, when he wished to make use of it tC). There is another note from Ashley en closed worthy of attention. It is in pencil, and was written at the officer of Judge Cartter, (B. F.) After the failure, through the blundering of Matchett, to secure my release at the time promised I became angry and used pretty severe language to Matchett. lie went to Ashley and Butler in alarm, and reported that I was going to expose the entire scheme to you. After the persons I had sent for to New York, as witnesses, had returned, Ashley wrote, without my knowledge, to persuade them to come hero again, and in his letters to two of them he thoughtlessly suggested some additions that it was desired they should make to their statements. He made these: suggestions by letter, as his letters explained, because he was not certain that he should be here when they arrived, or they might meet Bingham or some other person they had been introduced to when previously here, before he could see them and give then' points, and he therefore wanted them "posted." After my talking to him so severely on account of the failure to have me released at the time promised, D. F. Matchett be came frightened and seemed to get the idea that I had his letters to those parties, and had sent them, or copies of them, to you. Possibly, in my angel', I had uttered as much. lie, therefore, made known his fears to Ashley and Butler, and Ashley endeavored by this note to obtain the letters. have just been ordered to get ready fir the penitentiary.

M iinuirandum.—Shortly before the inauguration of Lincoln and Johnson, the hitter through Or in connection with Booth, sent several letters to the Confed eracy, one of which was intended her .Jef ferson Davis. These letters were borne by a 1111,4•,11[401' nauaa Allen, who had been act i as a spy for one of the Union generals. Allen W/,1 provided with a safe conduct through our picket lines, and was supposed to have been split on secret duty in 1.0111100- tion with his command. Ile was also pro vided with papers front a rebut emissary at the North to insure his proper treatment when he should enter the Confederate After delivering his Richnion I, he returned, bearing several letters, which he received from .1.

These let ters. were enclosed to Booth. un returning to Washington Allen called nn Ito//111 'package, and Booth, utter examining some ol the letters, weal out, as he said, iu search of his mes senger. The messenger scold nut be bound and Booth asked Allen it he was too tired to wiiik us tar as the I: irk wood House. Allen replied in the negative, when Booth, drawing forth the packs,: which had been brought front selected' a letter addressed to Andrew Johnson, Vice Presi • dent elect. of the I ailed Sautes, :nest :eskc+{l Allen to deliver it. Allen promised to do so, awl then accompanied Booth to the bar room to lirst take a drink.

And also, that it can further be proved by two per sons, fitrinerlv rebel soldiers, that Booth, tin the first or seetind day before his death, fell in with them at I larrett's, and asked their advice and assistame in his ellorts to escape.

On a still smaller :and much soiled scrap, in pencil, but evidently by the same hand, is this memorandum or explanation: (0.) 1. The Court cannot act without being a partieeps criminis. 2. Congress will, at the proper time, in crease its power. 3. Witnesses will be lirst called before the committee. Private here follows, page 33, commenc ing ; This, Mr. President, completes the lull and literal recital of all the papers or other adhering data before Inc. The parcel com prising all but the pardon papers reached this office in au envelope front the Execu tive Mansion, endorsed, "Received from Mrs. Dunham, July 30, 18G7." The papers having come from the hands of a person whose application for pardon was undergo ing official examination here, were, for very obvious reasons, associated with it in con sidering the mailer. Struck by their ex traordinary character, yet remembering in how unexpected and casual a manner they had been received at the Executive office, I immediately determined that, until I should have made this report, thipir quality and sig,nilicance, whatever these may be, should remain unchanged by investiga tion, or by any extraneous connection or association whatever, not only of record, but, as far as practicable in my own miud. 'This course it is necessary to bear in recol lection in the act of estimating the probable weight or value of the allegations. Never having seen the handwriting of the Hon. J. M. Ashley, I thought it due to him that I should not proceed without acquiring a no tion of his genuine chirography. I there fore exhibited that letter, which was written by Mr. Ashley to recommend the pardon of Dunham, to a gentleman acquainted with his handwriting. The latter, without hesi tation, recognized that letter as genuine. The others strikipgly resewble it. In conclusion, 2 beg leave to express the profound sensibility with which I find my self obliged to bring to the serious notice of the President of the 'United states accusa• tions and papers :which must occasion' him painful embarrassment. They expose prominent members of the Legislature of the Union to the shocking suspicion of having conspired with a convicted Perjurer for a stupendousitaposltion, first upon the House of Representatives, then upon' the reople, and then upon the Senate of the United States, for the purpose of effeeting the impeachment and removal from office of a President of the United States, solely upon suborned testimony. I need not say how greatly astonished mankind could be, was it charged that a scheme so 'abominable was heightened still by the peculiar wic4ed nese of attempting to induce the intended victim himself, through appeals to his clemency, to qualify by a pardon, with consequent competency to act and testify, the principal instrument of the imposture. But, impossible as the existence of such a conspiracy may seem, is not the President exposed to a grave tfccountability for what ever consequences may possibly follow an incredulity far too generous in the premises, to be indulged merely because these advert. titious data have been thrust upon his casual notice by a party who has been dishonored by a criminal verdict, but who is still, in the expressed opinion of competent professional persons, qualified to be a vehicle of truth in a court of justice? I thus lay the whole matter before your Excellency for your better judgement. In the meantime the application far pardon will be suspended. • Very respectfully, your obedient servent, JOHN M.

The President will appoint ex-Governor John A. Andrew, of Mass., Secretary of War—in the hope of having him confirmed by Congress, as he is a staunch Radical. General Steadman will be appointed As sistant Secretary of War, probably. It is believed that Generals Sheridan and Pupe wilt be relieved of command in the South in a few days. The Cabinet is now in session, and it is reported that exciting controversies are in progress: The President remains cool and determined. The National Intelligencer of this morn ing says it has authority for stating that the report telegraphed hence that Postmaster General Randall entertains or has exprassed an intention of resigning is without the least foundation. Ilig,h Prices to Continue Tile Daily Bulletin, a commercial Iwo' published in New York city, thinks the es pectation that prices generally will be great ly reduced by the abundant harvest is no well founded. It assigns reasons for its be lief which will strike every readeras bein. sound and rational. It says : our system of taxation presses with great severity upon the producing classes, and will operate to prevent any marked reduc tion or prices. It should be remembered that a national taxation of lour hundred millions a year, exclusive of onerous local and State taxes, stands between the pro ducer and the consumer. This immense amount of taxes is distributed upon about four thousand articles of con sumption, and is necessarily added to the original cost of production. Producers, of course, add the interest of their taxes to the price of the article; thus increasing the price to the consumers still more. That our Tax system presses very severely upon the industry of our country, and has a very decided influence in maintaining prices is quite obvious to all who may take the trouble to investigate the subject. Unfor tunately the prospect of a reform that may remedy the evil seems very remote, and it only remains to consider its effects. A Gorge Xis Picture of Sheridan in A. New Orleans writer furnishes the Northern papers with the following showy description of General Sheridan, his staff and equippage: "The state carriage used is a landau, which opens at the top, so as to give au un obstructed view of the inmates. Therein sits the General, surrounded by members of his staff, bedecked all over with gold lace and gold buttons. To this vehicle are at tached six horses, and these are caparisoned with the most elaborately ornamented har ness. All this finished off with a grand display of long white plumes, tipped with red feathers, which are fastened to the horses' heads in such a fashion as to cause them to undulate in all the graceful mazes of poetical motion. The cortege is com pleted by a train of out-riders and guards, consisting of two regiments of mounted troops, who, on such occasions, appear in their best bib and tucker." Wily Not ? On a link of the New York Central route between New York and Chicago, they have "hotel cars" which are pronounced a great acquisition, and are very popular. A lady writes concerning them as follows : "We have the largest, airiest, cleanliest and most highly finished cars I ever saw, with nice little tables between every two seats. We can have our meals served up at the time ordered in averagely good style. I inclose a bill of fare." We find the bill of fare to be excellent—broiled and cold meats of all kinds, eggs, omelets, vegetables, cof fee, &c., with an extensive wine list, and all a very reasonable prices.

About half-past ten o'clock, a two-story house standing about 200 yards: back of the Springs Hotel, towards the mountain side, and occupied by the hotel servants, was struck by lightning, the fluid passing down the chimney arid entering a room on the second story, in which were two colored men, waiters at the springs, one lying down on the bed, and the other engaged in writing at a table ; one was instantly killed, and the other lived but a few minutes after he was struck. Leaving this room the lightning tore a hole through the floor and passed down a parti tion' made of inch plank in the room below, tearing a piece out of the partition at the top an inch wide by a foot in length, and in its further course down the partition, scooping out a groove to the depth of half an inch. It seems to have darted from the foot of this partition diagonally, upwards again, as the next evidence of its track is seen on the ceiling, near the door, on the opposite side of the room, whence it is supposed to have passed out the door. The bodies of the men were sent to their homes in Philadelphia. A man and his wife and two children were in the lower apartment at the time, but beyond being somewhat stunned, suffer ed no injury. The storm ceased about one o'clock. It seems•to have traveled in a northwest and southeast line. as it passed through the northern end .of this county and poured down upon Philadelphia and Harrisburg extraordinary torrents of rain. On the farm of the Hon, Thos. E. Franklin, in West Earl township, two very line cows, valued at .5500 each, were killed by the lightning. The streams flowing from the north were very much flooded yesterday —Since the above was written we have learned the names of the unfortunate col ored men who were killed, and other inter esting particulars.

DA 13.1 NO ROBBERY.—Some unknown per son or persons broke into the house of Elias Eby, on Manor st., on Friday morning about two o'clock, and stole a new coat, a pocket book containing a small amount of money, and several other articles. The thief or thieves seem to have been choicy about what they should take, as a lot of cloth ing was finind in. , an adjoining field this morning, from which they had selected the best. They entered and ransacked the room or Mr. Eby, but strange to say, ho did not hear them. The operations of the thieves, how ever, were heard by some of the neighbors. Mr. Eby had returned from camp meeting, and hail laid his vest, containing a consid erable amount of money across a chair, which was not disturbed. A bottle of "Old Reigart Brandy" attracted their attention, which of course they emptied. REmolous.—The Rev. W. A.

The Chinese were acquainted with the process of manufacturing sugar from cane more than two thousand years ago, but Europe did not use it to any extent prior to the discovery of the West Indies. Chinese sugar was used in small quantities in Europe in the early times as Medicine. Although sugar cane is generally supposed to IJO indigenous to America, it has never been found growing wild on this continent. It was probably introduced by the early Portuguese discoverers. Next to the British, the people of the United States use more sugar than any other nation in the world. -,13 , ,1, • i,tlM 175,379,470 3S 1 1 .2,511,3110,4111 01 Lvrs Cnoc.—Owing to the amount of lain that has fallen in the last titre. weeks, the farrnOrs in this county have been unable to get their oats in. Much of the crop, which was a very fine one, has been lost. With oats at 60 cents a bushel, it will be seen that the loss is quite severe. The last two days of bright weather must have gladdened the beans of many of our country friends, and we do not doubt that many a load of oats has been safely housed.

Andrew, of East Lampeter township, this county, for Pat out Window Stops, by which Sash may be easily adjusted, taken out and put iu, thus saving time and labor to housekeepers in cleaning, etc. See advertisement.

The letters "B" and "Y" are too far apart, and the "0" in "Bonds" is under the "Y," whereas the "B" in the same word is immediately under the "Y" in the genuine.

Froth What we were able to learn of its history, it was built in 1797, as a mere' private enterprise, by as single Mr. Christian Binkley, the "original Ja7, cobs" of all the Binkleys who have lived at the Bridge. It is, we believe, about three . hundred feet long, is built of limestone and contains seven or eight arches. When we considerita great size, its erection by a sin gle private,citixen excites both our wonder and our admiration. We have heard it stated, that it was the first stone bridge erected in Pennsylvania, but not being booked up in the history of bridges we cannot say whether this is true or not. But this we know for a fact, that having reached the orthodox age of "three-score years and ten," the venerable structure has at lust "pegged out." And so the Commissioners and the Turnpike Directors, with a few "sympathiz ing friends" in the shape of members of the Printers' Paper Mill Company, met yester day afternoon to view the remains and pay them whatever "tribute of respect" the occasion might seem to require. As already stated, nobody claims the ownership of the Bridge. The heavy ex pense he incurred in its erection embar rassed Mr. Binkley, and the County Com missioners, as well as the authorities of some of the townships accommodated by the Bridge, came to his assistance and paid a part of its cost. The New Holland Turn pike Company was incorporated after the Bridge had been erected, and never had anything to do with it till 1857, when the Legislature passed au act which thencefor ward required them to keep it in repair. This, they maintain, does not impose upon them any obligation to build a new Bridge, or even to rebuild that part of the old one which has fallen. They express a willing ness, however, to pay a part of the cost of erecting a new Bridge, and 'they ask the County Commissioners to make an appro pri,atiou for the same purpose. We believe the latter have resolved to call for the action of a Grand Jury upon the subject before determining to undertake the erection of a new Bridge. It must be clear to any one who will ex- amine the old Bridge, that an entirely new one ought to be built. Other arches besides he two that have fallen are in an unsafe ondition and would be certain to fall down in the course of a very few years. A part of one of those now standing did fall down and was rebuilt not more than ton years ago, and its unsound condition at this early period after its reconstruction fully demon strates the folly of patching up the old Bridge. It will be wise economy to build a new Onc, 1111 d if the act of 1.537 does not impose this duty upon the Turnpike Com pany, then it is clearly incumbent upon the County authorities to take it in hand. CAMP E5ll AT MANHEIM.-Suu day was a very pleasant summer day, and the attendance at' the camp meeting near Manheim was very large. Nearly two thousand excursion tickets were sold by the Reading and Columbia Railroad it their depot in this city, two large trains being necessary to accommodate the crowd. Two trains were also run from Columbia and k neading. It is estimated that there wer4 not less than fifteen hundred car riages on the ground, aml the number of people present during yesterday could not have fallen much short of ten thousand. All who saw the multitude agree in saying that it was by odds the largest assemblage ever seen in this section. The grove where the meeting is held is a very beautiful one, the tents, about eighty in number, are handsomely located and arranged, the cir cle is large, the accommodations for seating people ample, the shade dense, and the preachers eloquent and zealous. The most perfect order is preserved, and throughout yesterday, notwithstanding the vast multi tude present, there was not the slightest disturbance or disorder. Rev. Mr. Smith, of Chambersburg, preached in the morning and Rev. Thos. Miller, of Philadelphia, in the afternoon. Rev. Alfred Cookmau was expected to arrive on Tuesday, and will re main during the progress or the meeting. idler distinguished ministers of the M. E. Church are expected to be present. The attendance Will IT doubt continue to be large throughout . the continuance of the meeting. St'i'r_ ESS I: I, pEnATioN.—Yeste J no. B. Musser, of Elizabethtown, formerly a member of the 191st Regiment l'a. Vols., had a mini° ball removed from his side by Dr. Levergood. Musser was wounded at the battle of the Wilderness, after which he became an inmate of lladdington Hos pital, and although he repeatedly insisted on having an operation performed for the removal of the ball, the surgeon having hint in charge declined operating.. His sufferings becoming intense, he came to town yesterday, when Dr, Levergood per formed an operation for its extraction suc cessfully and expeditiously: During the operation the patient was kept tinder the influence of chloroform by Dr. Huber. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon Emanuel Al. Shay, residing* in N. Lime st. met with an accident resulting in his death on the railroad, at Shoch's Mills, near Co lumbia. Mr. S. was a brakesman on the road, and something being wrong with one of the wheels, he looked over to see what was the matter. As he did this, the blood rushed to his bead, and falling he was caught and badly crushed, after which he lived but a short time. Mr. S. served hon orably during the whole war, was a young man of very steady habits, and was liked by all who knew him. CHESTER COUNTY NEWS.—We clip the following items of interest from the Jeller sonian : A child of Wiley Mcßride, of West Pike land, aged about two years, died a few days ago from the effects of fly poison, which was mixed in water in a saucer, and which the child got hold of and drank. The Oat Crop in Colerain.—We have been informed by several gentlemen living in Colerain township, that the oat crop in that section will not bemore than one-half,owing to the rust and mildew, caused by rain and heavy fogs in the early part of the season. Horse Killed by Lightning.—A horse belonging to Isaac Nunviller, living near St. Joseph's Catholic Church, on the Ken net Pike was killed by lightning on Sun day last. This is the second horse he has lost within the last two months. Highway Robbery.—Three young men of our Borough were committed to prison by Alderman Hibbard on Thursday, on,a charge of highway robbery. They met an old man near Wyer's school one night last week, knocked him down and robbed him of about three dollars. They will probably be tried the coming week. Horrible Casualty.—On Saturday last, Mr. John Richards living at Cecilton, met with a fearful accident in the following manner: He was engaged in driving a reaper in the field of Thos. T. Price, Esq., and carelessly rode on a saddle without a girth. The saddle horse becoming fright ened, threw Mr. R. in front of the reaper, and before it could be stopped his right arm bad been entirely severed above the wrist. But this was not all, Mr. R's body became entangled in the advancing knives, and one of them took effect on his neck. A large gash had been cut, and, with another vi bration, the head must have been severed. But the saddle which had also fallen off, caught between the guards and stopped the motion of the knives just in time to prevent a fatal result.

To accomplish this, the liver and stomach must first be cleansed and an appetite created for good wholesome food, which, by these medicines will be digested properly, and good healthy blood made; thus building up the constiintion. Scbenck's Man drake Pills cleanse the stomach of all bilious or mu coons accumulations ; and, by using the Sea Weed Tonic Is connection, the appetite is restored. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutritious as well as medicinal, and, by using the three remedies, all impurities are expelled from the system, and good, wholesome blood made, which will repel all disease. If patients will take these medicines according to di rections, Consumption very frequently in its last stage yields readily to their action. Take the pills fro xently, to cleanse the liver and stomach. It does of follow that bemuse the bowels are not costive they are not required, for sometimes in diarrhcea they are necessary. The stomach must be kept healthy, and an appetite created to allow the Pultuonio Syrup to act oil the respiratory organs properly and allay any irritation. Then all that is required to perform a per manent cure is, to prevent taking cold.

A plain statement of facts. I Inherited Scrofula, and many of my relations have died of it. In 1839 my case was frightfill. Tumors and ulcers spread until in 1942, under the advice of my physicians I went to AVOIA Springs. I received no benefit—tried every medicine and did everything I could• I had to rest my arm on a cushion, and had not been able to raise it to my head for over a year. The discharge from two ulcers was nearly a pint is day. Amputation was recommended; but pronounced dangerous. I could not sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend brought me an English physician who applied a salve with which he said he had accomplished ex traordinary cures in the hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve; persisted In ltstise; it finally effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1848.
