RICHMOND, VA., August 17, 1869.
To the Editors of the National Intelligencer
GENTLEMEN :—I have recently seen so
many misrepresentations of the action of
the late Confederate authorities in relation
to prisoners that I feel it due to the truth of
history, and peculiarly incumbent on me as
their agent of exchange, to bring to U. o at
tention of the country the facts set forth in
this paper:
The cartel of exchange bears date July
22d, 1862. Its chief purpose was to secure
the delivery of all prisoners of war.
To that end, the fourth article provided
that all prisoners of war should be dis
charged on parole in ten days after their
capture. From the date of the cartel until
the summer of 1883 the Confederate authori
ties had the excess of prisoners. During
that Interval deliveries were made as fiestas.
the Federal Government furnished trans
portation. Indeed, upon more than min oc
casion I urged the 1 ederal authorities to
send increased means of transportation. It
has never even been alleged that the Con
federate authorities failed or neglected to
make prompt deliveries of prisoners who
were not held under charges,. when they
had the excess. On the other hand, during
the same time the cartel was openly and
notoriously violated by the Federal authori
ties. Officers and men were kept in con
finement, sometimes in irons, or doomed to
cells, without charge or trial. Many officers
were kept in confinement even after the
notices published by the Federal authorities
had declared them exchanged.
In the summer of 1863 the Federal au
thorities insisted upon limiting exchanges
to such as . were. held in confinement on
either side. This I resisted, as being in vi
olation of the cartel. Such a construction
not only kept in confinement the excess on
either side, but ignored all the paroles
which were held by the Confederate Gov
ernment. These were very many, being
the paroles of °dicers and men who bad
been z eleased on capture. The Federal Gov
eminent at that time held few or no pa
roles. They had all, or nearly all, been
surrendered, the Confederate authorities
giving prisoners as equivalents for them.—
Thus it will be seen, that as long as the
Confederate Government had the excess of
prisoners, matters went on smoothly
enough ; but as soon as the posture of al
fairs in that respect was changed, the car
tel could no longer he observed. So, as
long as the Federal llovernment held the
paroles of Confederate officers and men,
they were re Tected, and made the basis or
an exchange; but when t qui talents were
obtained for them, and no more were in
hand, the paroles which were held by the
Confederate authorities could not be recog
nized. In consequence of the position thus
assumed by the Federal Government, the
rtquirement of the cartel that all pi sneers
should be delivered within ten days was
practically nullified. The deli ve, ies which
were afterwards 'node were the results of
special agreements. . .
The Confederate authorities adhered to
their position until the 111th of August, 1004,
\ram, moved by the sufferings of the men
in the prisons of each belligerent, they de
termined to abate their just demand. Ac
cordingly,on the last-moed day, I address
ed the following communication to Brigs
dierCeneral John E. Mulford, (then Majur,)
Assistant Agent of Exchange:
RICHMOND, August LO , 180-I.
Major John E. MuVora, da.risGUJ dg•o( of Le
change.
,
Sin: You have several times proposed
to me to exchange the prisoners respective
ly held by the two belligerents—onicer for
officer, and, man for man. The sonic offer
has also been made by other officials having
charge of matters connected with the ex
change of prisoners.
This proposal has heretofore been declined
by the Confederate authorities, they insist
ing upon the terms of the cartel, which re
quired the delivery of the excess on either
side on parole. In view, however, of the
very largo number of prisoners now held
by each party and suffering consequent
upon their continued confinement, I now
consent to the above proposal, and agree to
deliver to you the prisoners held in captivi
ty by the Confederate authorities, provided
you agree to deliver an equal number of
Confederate officers and men. As equal
numbers are delivered from time to time,
they he declared exchanged. •This
proposal Is made with the understanding
that the officers and men on both sides who
have been longest in captivity will be first
delivered where it is practicable.
I shall be happy to hear from you as
speedily as possible, whether this arrange
ment can be carried out.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Ro. Our.n, Agent or Exchange.
The delivery of this letter was accom
pained with a statement of the mortality
which was hurrying so many Federal pris
oners at Andersonville to the grave.
Oa the 2.2c1 day of August, 186.1, not hav
ing heard anything in response, I addressed
a communication to Major General E. A.
'Hitchcock, United States Commissioner of
Exchange, covering a copy of the foregoing
letter to General Mulford, and requesting
en acceptance of my propositions.
No answer seas ever received to either of
these letters. General Mulford, on the 31st
' of August, Mil, informed me in writing
that he had no communication on the sub
ject from the United States authorities, and
that he was not at that time authorized to
make any answer.
This offer, which would have instantly
restored to freedom thousands of suffering
captives—which would have released every
Federal soldier in confinement in Confed
erate prisons—was net even noticed. Was
that because the Federal officials did not
deem it worthy of a reply; or because they
feared to make one? As the Federal au
thorities at that time had a large excess of
prisoners, the effect of the proposal which
I had made, if carried out, would have been
to release all Union prisoners, while a large
number of the Confederates would have re
mained in prison, awaiting the chances of
the capture of their equivalents.
In January, 1804, and, indeed, some time
earlier, it became very manifest, that in
consequence of the complication in relation
to exchanges, the large bulk of prisoners on
both sides would remain in captivity for
many long and weary months, if not for the
duration of the war. Prompted by an earn
est desire to alleviate the hardships of com
!Moment on both side,,, I addressed the fol
lowing communication to Gen. E.A. Hitch
cock, United States Commissioner of Ex
change, and on or about the day of its{date,
delivered the same to the Federal authority:
CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA,
WAR DEPARTMENT,
RICHMOND, VA., January 21, 11364.
Arai. General E. A ..Hitchock, Agent of Exchange:
SIR: In view of the present difficulties
attentling the exchange and release of pris
oners, I propose that all such on each side
shall be attended by a proper number of
their own surgeons, who, under rules to be
established, shall be permitted to take
charge of their health and comfort.
I also propose that these surgeons shall
act as commissaries, with power to receive
and distribute such contributions of money.
food, clothing and medicines as may be
forwarded for the relief of prisoners. I fur
ther propose that these surgeons be selected
by their own Governments, and that they
shall have full liberty at any and all times,
through the agents of exchange, to make
reports not only of their own acts, but of
any matters relating to the welfare of pris
oners.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
Ro. Grim, Agent of Exchange.
To this communication no reply of any kind
was ever made. I need not state Mow much
suffering would have been prevented if this
offer had been met in the spirit in which It
was dedicated. In addition, the world have
had truthful accounts of the treatment of
prisoners on both sides by officers of char
acter, and thus much of that misrepresenta
tion which has flooded the country would
never have been poured forth. Thejury
box In the case of Wirz would have had
different witnesses, with a different story.
It will be borne In mind that nearly all of
the suffering endured by Federal prisoners
• happened utter January, 1804. The accept
ance of' the proposition made by me, on be
half of the Confederate Government. would
Prot only have furnished to the sick medi
cines and physicians ' but to the well an
abundance of food and clothing from the
ample stores of the United States.
The good faith of the Confederate Govern
ment in making this offer cannot he suc
cessfully questioned, for food and clothing
(without the surgeons) were sent in 1805,
and were allowed to be distributed by Fed-
oral officers to Federal prisoners.
Why could not the humano proposal of
January, 1864, have been accepted?
When it was ascertained that exchanges
could not be made either on the basis of the
cartel, or officer for officer, and man for
man, I was instructed by the Confederate
authorities to offer to the United States Gov-
ernment their sick and wounded, w ithout r
requirinu any equivalents. Accordingly, in
the summer of 1864, I did offer to deliver
from ten to fifteen thousand of the sick and
wounded at the; mouth of the Savannah
river, without requiring any equivalents,
assuring at the same time the agent of the
United States, Gen. Mulford, that if the
number for which he might send transpor
tation could not readily be made up from
sick and wounded, I would supply the dif
ference with well men. Although this offer
,was made in tne summer of 1864, transpor
tation was not sent to the Savannah river
until about the middle or last of November,
and then I delivered as many prfismore as
could be transported—some thirteen thou
sand in nudiber, amongst whom were more
than five thousand well men.
More than once I urged the mortality at
Andersonville as a reason for haste on the
part of the United States authorities. I
know, personally, that it was the purpose
of the Confederate Government to send off
from all its prisons all the sick and wound
ed, and to continue to do the same, from
time to time, without requiring any suave
lents for them. It was because the sick and
wounded at points distant from Georgia
could not he .brought to Savannah within a
4 reasonable time that the five thousand well
—) men were substituted.
Although the terms of my offer did not
regalia, the Federal authorities to deliver
any Mr.the ten or. fifteen thousand 'which I
ANdA AVER WEVAIKLYLIN -I LNELIGENIC T EIPW-I.ID - NESTIATINVAIRTIIST_ I 28;' 1868.
, .
promised, pit some three thousand sick and
wounded were delivered by them at the
mouth of the Savannah river. I call upon
ovary Federale and Confederate officer and
man who saw the cargo of living death,
and who is familiar with the character of
the deliveries Made by the Confederate au
thorities, to bear witness that. none such
was ever made by the latter, even when the
very sick and desperately wounded were
alone requested. For, on two occasions
at least, such were especially asked for, and
particular request was made for those who
were so desperately sick that it would be
doubtful whether they would survive a re
moval a few miles down James river. Ac
cordingly, the hospitals were searched for
the worst cases, and after they were deliv
ered they were taken to Indianapolis, and
there photographed as specimen prisoners.
The photographs at Annapolis, were terri
ble, indeed; but the misery they portrayed
was surpassed at Savannah.
The original rolls showed that some
thirty-five hundred had started from North
ern prisons, and that death had reduced
the number during the transit to about
three thousand. The mortality amongst
those who were delivered alive during the
following three months was equally fright
ful.
But why was there this delay between
the summer and November 'in sending
transportation for sick and wounded, for
whom no equivalents were asked? Wore
Union prisoners made to suffer in order to
aid the photographs " in firing the popular
heart of the North ?"
In the summer of IS&4, in consequence of
certain information communicated to me
by the Surgeon General of the Confederates
States as to the deficiency of medicines, I
offered to make purchases of medicines
from the United States authorities, to be
used exclusively for the relief of Federal
prisoners. I offered to pay gold, cotton or
tobacco for them, and even two or three
prices, if required. At the same time I gave
assurances that the medicines would be
used exclusively in the treatment of Fed
eral prisoners; and moreover agreed, on
behalf of the Confederate States, if it was
insisted on, that such medicines might be
brought into the Confederate lines by the
United States Surgeons, and dispensed by
them. To this offer I never received any
reply. Incredible as this %pears, it is
strictly true.
Gen. John E. Mulford is personally cog
nizant of the truth of most, if not all the
facts which I have narrated. lie was con
nected with the cartel from its date until the
close of the war. During a portion of the
time ho was Assistant Agent of Exchange
on the part of the United States. I always
found him to be en honorable and truthful
gentleman. While he discharged his duties
with great fidelity to his own Government,
ho was kind, and, I might almost say, ten
der to Confederate prisoners. With that
portion of the correspondence with which his
name is connected, he is, of course, familiar.
Ile is equally so with the delivery made at
Savannah, and its attending circumstances
and withthe otter I made as to the purehase of
medicines for the - Federal sick and wounded.
I appeal to hint for the truth of what I have
written. There are other Federal corrobor
ations to portions of my statements. They
are found in the report of Major General B.
F. Butler to the " Committee on the Con
duct of the War." About the last of March,
Mil, I had several conferences with Gen.
Butler at Fortress Monroe in relation to the
attending the exchange of pris
oners, and we reached what we both
thought a tolerably satisfactory bask.
The day that I left there General Grant
arrived. General Butler says he conununi
(ailed to hint the state of the negotiations,
and " most emphatic verbal directions were
received from the Lieutenant General not
to take any step by which another able
bodied man should be exchanged until fur
ther orders front hint ;" and that on April
he received a telegram from (ion
oral Grant, "to receive all the sick and
wounded the Conibderate authorities may
send you, but send no more in exchange."
Unless my recollection fails me, General
Butler also, in an address to his constitu
ents, substantially declared that he was di
rected in his management of the question
of exchange with the Confederate anthori
ties, to put the matter offensively, for the
purgoSe of preventing an exchange.
The facts which I have stated are also well
known to the officers connected with the
Confederate Bureau of Exchange.
At one time I thought an excellent oppor
tunity was afforded of bringing some of
them to the attention of the country. I was
named by poor Wirz as a witness in his
behalf. The summons was issued by Chip
man, the Judge Advocate of the military
court. I obeyed the summons, and was in
attendance upon the court for some ten
days. The investigation had taken a wide
range us to the conduct of the Confederate
and Federal Governments in the matter of
the treatment of prisoners, and thought the
time had come when I could put before the
world these humane offers of the Confeder
ate authorities, and the manner in which
they had been treated. Iso expressed my
self more than once—perhaps too public
ly. But it was a vain thought. Early in
the morning of the day on which I ex
pected to give my truthful testimony, I re
ceived a note front Chipman, the Judge
Advocate, requiring me to surrender my
subpoma. I refused, as it was my protec
tion in Washington. Without it the doors
of the Old Capitol might have opened and
closed upon me. I engaged, however to
appear before the court, and I did so the
same morning. I still refused to surrender
my subpomit, and thereupon the Judge
Advocate endorsed on it these words: "The
within subptena is hereby revoked ; the
person named is discharged from fur
ther attendance." I have got the curious
document before me now, signed with the
name of "N. P. Chipman, colonel," Ac. I
intend to keep it, if I can, as the evidence of
the first case in any court, of any sort,where
a witness who was summoned for the de
fence was dismissed by the prosecution. I
hastened to depart, confident that Richmond
was a safer place for me than the metropolis.
Some time ago a committee was appoint
ed by the House of Representatives to in
vestigate the treatment of Union prisoners
in Southern prisons. After the appoint
ment of the committee—the Hon. Mr.
Shanks, of Indiana, beirg its chairman—l
wrote to the Hon. Charles A. Eldridge and
the Hou. Mr. Mungen (the latter a member
of the committee) some of the facts herein
! detailed. Both of these gentlemen made
an effort to extend the authority of the com
mittee, so that it might inquire into the
' treatment of prisoners North as well as
South, and especially that it might inquire
into the truth of the matters which I had
alleged. All these attempts were frustrated
by the Radical majority, although several
of the party voted to extend the inquiry.
As several thousand dollars of the money
of the people have been spent by this com
mittee, will not they demand that the in
vestigation shall be thorough and impartial?
The House of Representatives have de
clined the inquiry ; let the people take it up.

In June 1803, John W. Forney thus spoke
of Governor Seymour In the Philadelphia
Presfi;
"Honor to New York I Her Governor
has acted like a man who knows when the
time for partizanship Is at an end. Her
gallant Seventh is now at Harrisburg, and
side by side with our bravo Pennsylvani
ans, preparing to resist the Invaders. This
Is the true spirit of brotherly love. Penn

Cut tbls out, and keep It in your pocket.
If you hear a Radical assailing the loyalty
of Seymour, show him what Lincoln Stan

sure to kr') his mouth shut in your pres

The trial of the case of Com'th vs. Malt
Pugh resumed. The Court dtfi not 'sustain
the objection made by benniel for prosecu
tion yesterday evening to• the evidence
elicited by the cross examination, but stated
that said evidence was - adnaissable. The
cross examination of Mr. Jackson was
therefore again commenced. Mr. Jackson
stated that Mr. Pugh's checks commenced
to be received at the Inland Bank, this
city, about the 15th of June preceeding the
time when the defendant obtained the
money on the 30th of August; and that all
the checks received at the ' Inland " were
made payable the same as the two checks
for the presentation and non-payment of
which defendant was being tried; witness
was not in the habit of immediately
presenting defendant's checks for pay
ment at the Bank on which they were
drawn; oa several occasions checks on
the First Natimial" Bank .of Lancaster
were held over when there was no money
to meet them ; checks on the Bank in Phil
adelphia were also on one occasion and
perhaps oftener held over until defendant
met them. On the 31st of August the Union
Bank of Philadelphia telegraphed to wit
ness that the two checks were protested;
witness telegraphed back to said Bank to
hold theta without protest. On the day the
defendant gave me the two checks be told
me the money was or would be in Phil'a
for them. The defendant kept no account
with the Inland Bank. Mr. Jackson, the
witness, stated that it was not customary
in the banking business to pay checks
drawn on another bank, when the party
presenting them had no account with the
bank cashing said checks. Witness paid a
number of checks for defendant which were
not payable at the Inland. These checks
were produced by the defense; they amount
ed in the aggregate to over $115,000 and were
paid at the Inland but were drawn on
another institution. The $115,000 had all
been paid by the Inland bank to defendant
before the two checks were presented; and
M r. Pugh had !net his engagements prompt
ly up to August 30th, 1867. These chocks
were all on the First Nat. Bank of Lancas
ter and wore paid either in cash, or by
checks on the Third National Bank of
Phil'a.
The object of the above cross examina•
Lion was, that it might be shown by the
defence that the two checks given by Mr.
Pugh on the 30th of Aug.. 1807, were not
given for the purpose of defrauding the
Inland Bank, of this city, but were given
to, and received by it, as a regular business
transaction, and they would have been met
by Mr. Pugh had it not have been for sub
sequent failures of parties owing Mr. Pugh
money.
John Haze, Jr., sworn. As book

credit was $3.31 The whole amount de
posited in the bank between June Fith and

were a Sold watch and suit of clothes. The
checks offered me for discount by Mr. Pugh
were on I'he First Nat. Bank of Lancaster,
one of said checks was for 35,800, one for
$4,850 and one for $5,780; the checks mere
offered August 30th; I refused to cash them.

Prentiss who both failed. It is the custom
among many men in Mr. Pugh's business
to send their checks to the country expect
ing to have the funds in Bank when said
checks aro presented; said checks are pre
sented ; said checks are generally met but
frequently are not met. Mr. Pugh bad ac
ceptances of Riddle S Co., and also of .T. M.

Aug. 30th, 1867, he owed Mr. Pugh 822,-
834 00.
Mr. Rathvou, Cashier of First National
Bank of Lancaster, testified that between
January Ist., 1867, and August 31st., of the
same year, Mr. Pugh had deposited in said
Bank over $123,000 and t1i1,61 amount was
deposited chiefly in cash. n tho doy the
two checks were drawn, OA non-payment
of which is alleged by prosecution to be

larceny, and sentenced in the aggregate to
two years and ten months imprisonment,

of the Grand Inquest that the motives of
the pr >secutors worn influenced by malice
or public policy. Four reports of Viewers
In fuvor of the erection of Bridges in dif
ferent parts of the county, were also ap
proved ; some of them, however, condition
ally—all of which we considered necessary
for the convenience and safety of the pub
lic—moreover, we are free to express our
opinions that the money of the county,
when Judiciously appropriated in this way,
le not spent or lost, but only profitably in
vested in construction for the best interest
of the tax-payers. In accordance with cus
tom or law we made the usual visit to the
County Prison, Poor House and Hospital,
and it affords us pleasure in being able to
contribute our testimony in approbation of
the satisfactory condition in which these sev
eral institutions were found, and to all ap
pearances managed and maintained. Messrs
Senseuig, Spielman and Steinhauser appear
to be gentlemen of liberal attainments and
fully competent to discharge the duties of
their respective situations we would how
ever state, that in our opinion, the condition
of the Poor House building is somewhat
dilapidated and requires repairs; also, that
the flying visits made on these occasions by
the Grand Jury are not of a character re
quired to elicit such thorough information
as to enable us, or the public to form a re
liable opinion as to the real internal busi
ness management and discipline of these
institutions.
The Grand Jury has experienced some
difficulty in the transaction of business
during the week, arising from noises caused
in dressing stone on the premises adjoining
the Court House; if this cause of interrup
tion is likely to continue, for an indefinite
length of time, to the disturbance of sub
sequent Grand Juries and the proceedings
of the Court, we would recommend that
the matter be investigated in order to as
certain what relief can be obtained there
from.
We would propose to the consideration of
the Inspectors of the Prison the propriety
of employing a watchman or patrol to stand
guard at 'night beyond the outer wall of the
Prison, In order to prevent the escape of
prisoners therefrom by their own attempt
or by aid from without.
The attention of the Grand Jury having
been called to' the anniiyar(cill occasioned
with frequent hiss of - property and occa
sional pentonal injury and - loss of life suf
fered by travellers in private conveyances,
and by persona residing along the line of
the railroads in Lancaster county, caused,
by locomotive engines, we deem itour duty,
to draw the attention of the CourV to -this
serious evil ;.an evil for which there appears;
no adequate remedy but which in our
opinion conld.•be:provided against by afew
watchmen in the employ of the railroad
stationed at the more promi- -
nant crossings of the railroads - with the pal). ••
lie highways.- The increase of our popula
tion, together with the general busi
ness activity of this entire com
munity impress upon us the impor
tance of this subject and leads us to inquire
whether or not there is now any law in ex
istence applicable or anfficent to protect us
against the injuries inflicted by these pow
erial corporations; and if no such law be
found, we do most earnestly suggest that
the present is a proper time to secure the
enactment of one that will in this respect
most effectually secure and maintain the
safety ofour people from this constantsource
of danger. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted this 21st day of August, A. D. 1868.

THADDEUS EVISNITEES WILL.—The will of
the late Thaddeus Stevens has been admit
tedto.probzite ;itirt in the hand writing of
the , deOased — and la as follows: :"
I give all my estate, real and persolial,,to
my trustees and executors, hereinafter
named, and their heirs, on condition never
theless that they will dispose of-it as here-,
ittafter directed by the
They
of ,the
several sums mentioned: They will reduce
such of the properly as they deem proper
to cash, and put the nett proceeds at inter
est by investing the same In government
securities at not less than six per cent. per
annum. I direct them to pay to the town
of Peacham, State of Vermont, one thou
sand dollars, the interest whereof at six per
cent, to be applied in aid of the juvenile
library association, which was formed at
the Caledonia county Academy, lithe same
is still in existence, and continue to'-pay
the same so long as the same continues
in active operation.
I give and bequeath to the trustees or
title-holders of the . graveyard in which my
mother and brother Alaru3on are buried, in
the town of Peacham, Vermont; five hun
dred dollars, to be put at interest peipetn
ally, and the interest tobe paid annually to
the Sexton, on condition that he keep the
graves in good order, and plant' roses and
other cheerful flowers at each of the four
corners of said graves, every Spring. If
either of the said legacies should lapse, the
same to go to the support of the Baptist
Church or meeting nearest to Danville Cen
tre, ray native town in Vermont.
. -
I direct one hundred dollars to be put. at
compound interest, and the aggregate
amount to be paid to Thaddeus Stevens
Brown, son of John K. Brown, of Philadel
phia, at age.
I give two thousand dollars to mynephew,
Dr. Thaddeus M. Stevens, of Indianapolis.
I give to his sister, Mrs. Kauffman, one
thousand dollars. I give to George F. Ste
vens, son of Simon Stevens, one thousand
dollars, to be put at interest and paid to him
by his father when he arrives at age.
I give to Mrs. Lydia Smith, my house
keeper, five hundred dollars a year during
her natural life, to be paid semi-annually;
or at her option, she may receive five thous
and dollars. She may make her election,
and then release all further claims on my
estate. Mrs. Smith has some furniture of
her own, used in common with mine, some
bought with her own money, as well as
others, which it would be difficult to dis
tinguish. Now, she must be trusted on her
honor to take such as she claims, without
further proof.
I give to my nephew, Captain Thaddeus
Stevens, now at Caledonia, my gold watch.
I give to my nephew,
Captain Thaddeus
Stevens, eight hundred dollars a year, to be
paid half yearly. If by reason of sickness
he need more, at the discretion of the trus
tees. None of the legacies, except the an
nuities, will be paid for three years, during
which time the house I now live in, and
furniture and books, will remain as they
are, except the miscellaneous books, which
may be sold at any time. Mrs Smith may
occupy the house the first year, and it
son of Morrill. preters to keep
house to boarding, he may keep house there
with her, or with any one else, during the
three years or any part thereof. If at the
end or three years, Thaddeus Stevens pre
fers some other mode of living, then the
trustees shall dispose of said property as
they may deem best. While it is occupied
by my nephew, lie shall be charged with
three hundred dollars a year rent for it.—
The property occupied by Mr. Edinger,
after adding two feet of the lot in width to
the other lot, may be sold. As live thou
sand dollars have been uttered fur it, it
should not go for less.
The Furnace and all other real estate may
be rented or sold. The Furnace must not
be worked longer than to consume the stock
on hand. If at the end of any five years,
Thaddeus, nephew, shall have shown that
he has totally abstained from all intoxica
ting drinks through that time, the trustees
may convey to hint one-fourth of the whole
property. If at the end of the next succes
sive five years, he shall show that he has
totally abstained from all intoxicating
drinks, they may convey to him one fourth,
being one half of the property. If at the
end of another consecutive live years he
shall show that he has abstained from all
intoxicating drinks, they may convey the
whole to him, tu fee simple. If he shall
get married before the house I live in is
sold, he shall receive the same, and occupy
it without sale.
If the life estate of my nephew, or rather
the annuity of said Capt. Thaddeus Ste
vens, of Vermont, should expire before he
has enabled himself to tecome entitled to
the corpus or fee simple of my estate, then
I dispose of whatever may remain as fol
lows: If the aggregate sum shall then
amount to fifty thousand dollars, without
which no further disposition can be made,
I give it all to my trustees to erect, estab
lish and endow a house of ming() for the
relief of the homeless and indigent orphans.
Those shall be deemed orphans who have
lost either parent. I devise twenty thous
and dollars to be expended in erecting
suitable buildings, the residue to be secured
in government securities, bearing not less
than six per cent. interest. I wish the
buildings to be erected in the city of Lan
caster, south of King street, provided suf
ficient ground, nut less then two acres,
shall be donated therefor.
If not, then at the west sid of said street,
on seine conditions. If sufficient ground
is not gratuitously offered, then I direct it
to built be at Columbia. The orphans who
cannot be bound out, may remain in the
institution until the age of fifteen years,
and longer, if infirm, at the discretion of
the trustees. They shall all be carefully
educated in the various branchesof an Eng
lish education, and in all industrious trades
and pursuits. This must be loft to the dls
cretion of the authorities. No preferenc
shall be shown on account of race or colt
in the admission or treatment. Neithi
poor Germans,. Irish, or Mohomedans, nt. r
any others, on account of their race or their
religion or their parents must be excluded.
All theinmates shall be educated in the
same classes and manner without regard to
color. 'They shall be fed at the same table.
The dormatories to be under the direction
of the authorities. The trustees shall pro

RADICAL FIZZLE AT ELIZABETHTOWN.-
The Radical leaders in and about Eliza•
bethtown have been doing their best to put
some lire into the masses of their party in
this section, but the masses refuse to re
spond to the call. On Saturday night an
attempt was made to get up a meeting.
Some twenty men and boys, all told, as
sembled. A fellow who goes by the name
of Dr. Royce, attempted to make a speech,
but his alert was a ridiculous failure. W,ho
he is and where he came from nobody
seems to know. He first made his appear
ance in that neighborhood calling himself
Dr., but getting no patients he mounted a
pulpit and tried his preiatice hand at preach
ing, failing in that he took to peddling, and
now he turns outs political spouter of the
worst pattern and poorest quality. Honest
folks about Elizabethtown are wondering
where he came from. Is ho a carpet
bagger?
ARRESTED.—A young man named John
Wolf,twas arrested near ,Willow Street, yes
terday, on suspicion of having robbed Mr.
James Olmstead, of Little Britain township,
of from $4O to $5O. After his arrest Wolf
confessed his guilt and was committed to
the County Prison. The money was taken
from the money drawer of Mr. 'Olmstead's
store. Wolf' was formerly employed by
Mr. John V. Alexander, of Little Britain
township, and sometime since suddenly
left that gentleman's employ. Wolf is about
18 years of age, and was arrested by Geo.
