greet destitution, now prevailing at the
tfouth,' ia,' certainly, ft great .drawback on
the trade of the North. Prices atill remain
uueettled. White aoine articles have reco
derl, others atill continue high. Manufacturers
who are able to control the markets, never
fail to keep up the price. This is the case
now with paper and also printing mate

aatis&ed with the slow progress of making

in a year. Hence it is difficult for producers
lo reconcile themselves to reduced prices.
THE NEW STATES ,LOAN.
The proposals for the State loan.wbich was
advertised for, in order to redeem securities
which are gold interest bearing, were opened
at Harrisburg, on Monday last. The amount
Vequired was subscribed, and an excess of
proposals received for many milliona of dol
lars more than was necessary to meet all the
wants of the Government. Thia evidence
of confidence in a new Administration on
the very Ihrcohhold of its career, ia unpar
alleled in the history of this or any other
State. We congratulate Gov. Genry on this
jrreat testimony of the fiuanciers of the State
iu fnvor of his Admiuibtration, a testimony
well deserved as the confidence
t conveys will be confirmed on his
iart by the purest official nets. Thirty-one
uillion dollars were proffered at six per
ent. interest, ranging from par to one-half
r cent, premium. One million dollurs was
id for nt par, for five per cent, interest,

ad Jay Cooke & Co., well known banking
rms of Philadelphia, have obtained a ma
rity of the bids, at a premium, and the re
aindcr,' about seven millions, has been
ken in other parts of the State. Thia ex
bit shows that our State has regained all
r financial reputation, and that she is now

We give ia ubstance the remarks of Oca.
Butler ic the Hawse of Representative, -on
the 20th tilt;, In a debate with Mr. Biagbant,
which has canned a profound aeasatVon
throughout the country. The General's
statements in respect to tho trial of Mrs.
Surratt are an remarkable that it Is probable
that an official investigation wilt be made to
ascertain the facta !
Mr. Butler (Rep., Mass.) asked and ob
tained unanimous consent to make a per
aonal explanation; the time bcintr limited to
15 minutes. He stated that he had caused
to be placed on the desk ot each member a
copy of Mr. Bingham's speech the other day
on the personal discussion with himself,
showing in paralleled columns the speech as
it appeared in the manuscript of the repor
ter and the speech as published in The Qlobe.
The speech as written contained C89 words;
as printed it contained 1,07 words, and in
the reporter's manuscript there were 882
erasures and alterations. He (Butler) had
understood the rule to be that in a personal
debate a member had no right to make any
changes unless were submitted to the mem
ber affected by them. That rule had been
violated in this case. In the matter thus
interlopatcd was this sentence ; "What does
the gentleman (meaning Butler) know of
the evidence in the case, and what doea he
rare for the evidence when ho thus assails
llic orhciai conduct oi tnoso men wuo con
stituted tiio Court t" He (Butler) would
state the evidence on which he had made
the other duy the statement that Mrs. Stir
ratt was improperly convicted. He held
in his hand the printed report of the trial,
and had examined it with great care, be
cause this was no sporadic thought of his.
It was the result of careful, anxious investi
gation for another and a different purpose
to see who were in the great conspiracy.
The gentleman (Bingham) had said that lie
was the Advocate on the part of the United
States on that trial. , That was a great mis
take. He was the special Judge Advocate,
whose Solemn duty it was to protect the
rights of the prisoner as well as those of the
United btatcs, aud to sum up the evidence
and state the law. But there was one piece
oi evidence within t lie gentleman's (Bing
ham'fe) knowledge which he had not pro.
duced on that most momentous trial. When
Booth was captured by Lieut. Col. Conger
there was, said Mr. Butler, taken from his
pocket a diary like the one I now hold iu
my hand (holding up a small morocco cover
ed pocket dinry) in w hich he (Booth) set
down clay ty cluy his plans, his thoughts,
Lis motives, and his excuse. That diary
was put into the possession of the Govern
ment, but it was not laid before the Military
I Commission, although the gentleman (Eiug-
tiam) uicl lay nctore tne court UootL s to
bacco pipe, spur, knife, mid other urticlcs
found on his person. The diary was not
produced. That diary appears now before
our Judiciary Committee, and let mo say
here that I did not obtain my information
from that Committee with the 18 pages of
entires made in the diary, prior to the time
of Mr. Lincoln's assassination absent. The
edges show that these pupes were al! cut
out. Whnt I want to know is this: Fint.
Whs that diary whole when it carao into
the hands of the Government? S(cond.
Whether it was good judgment on tho part
of those who were prosecuting the assassins
of Abraham Lincoln to put into a tobacco
pipe found in Booth's pocket as evidence
against the prisoner, whilo the diary in
Booth's own handwriting detailing all the
particulars of his crime was withheld i I
did not charge the able, brave, and gallant
soldiers who sat on t hut Court with any
wrong. They did not see tho diary. They
did not know of its existence. If they had,
they might have given a different account
of the matter. Who spoliated that book?
Who suppressed that evidence? Who caused
that inuobent woman to be hanged while he
11 aa in uia pocKct the diary winch would
have shown at least what was the idea aud
what were the thoughts of the main conspi
rator ? There is still remaining in that
diary a memorable instance written but a
few hours before J. Wilkes Booth's death.
I quote from memory, "I have endeavored
to cross the Potomac five times and failed.
I propose to return to Washington and give
myself up and, clear myself from this great
crime." ilow clear lmnsell ? By givinir
himself up and disclosing his accomplices!
Who were they ? Who spoliated thut book
after it got iuto the possession of tho Go
vernment? If it was not spoliated, why
was Lieut. Col. Conger allowed to go on
and state what had beeu found on Booth's
body ? The questions were carefully put to
him, so he should not tell about the book.
He identifies the knife, pair of pistole, hols
ter, tobacpo-pipe, cartridges, a bill of ex
change, &c. ; hut he was nowhere asked,
"Were these all the articles thut were found
on Booth ? If he had been asked that ques
tion, he would have answered that he had
taken Booth's diary from bis pocket as he
lay gasping in death. I do not know what
would have been the verdict of the Military
Commission if that evidence had been pro
duced. That evidence found on the person
of Booth should have been produced. I
understand the theory to be that the reason
it was not produced was lest Booth's glori
fication of himself should go into the case.
I think that a most lame excuse. If an as
sassin can glorify himself let him do so ; but
there is no danger of it. Therefore, I again
say here, it was a most remarkable circum
stance that a piece of evidence found on the
body of tho great conspirator should be con
cealed. I will take that back I mean that
it was not put forward not brought before
the great public mind. I believe that piece
of evidence would have shown what in my
judgment the whole cose now shows that
Booth up to a certain hour meant a capture
and abduction of Mr. Lincoln, and that he
changed bis purpose and resorted to assassi
nation. Mrs. Surratt may or may not have
known of the change of purpose. What I
find fault with in the Judge-Advocate, who
did not sum up for the prisoner, is, thut
there was no notice by him brought to the
mind of the Court, in his very able but very
bitter argument against the prisoner, of this
change of purpose. If Mrs. Surratt did not
know of this change, she would have had
no knowledge of the intended arsassiuation,
and therefore could not have been convicted.
These are the reasons w hy 1 say that I am
glad the blood of thut woman, whether she
were innocent or guilty, is not on my hands.
I mean by no intendment to say a word
against the officers who composed that com
mission. They were men who relied for the
law upon the Judge-Advocate who thought
they had all the facts before them, but be
fore whom all the facts were not put. I do
uot mean to say that they judged wrongly
under the licht which they had. The point
which I make, and the point which I should
stand made before tho country, is, that all
the testimony was not before that tribunal.
If all the testimony had been presented, we
should have been able to pursue the accom
plices, and to find ont who it was that
changed Booth's purpose from capture to
assassination who It was that was to profit
by the assassination, and that would not
firotit by the capture or Mr. Lincoln n uo
t was tbat should succeed to Mr. Liucolu ia
case tbe bullet made a vacaocy. In soma
aspects of tbe case that diary might not
have been legal testimony, but it moral
evidence would Lave carried conviction to
the mind of everybody, because it waa the
dying declaration of a man, assassin though
be were, who was telling the truth between
himself and God. How was Booth, by com
ing back tn Washington, poing to clear
Limsrlt of tbe great crime ? That question
tin rtmaVaa, Were the 19 pet of Booth's
diary gone when it came into the possession
of the learned Judge-Advocate I If so, why
did It not .inquire what became of them
w bet bet Lieut. -Uol. Conger gave tnt dook
to. somebody whether it went from his
hands Into other bands, and whose knife it
was that cut out those leave ? I should not
have pnrsaed thia matter .further, except
that the gentleman (Mr. Bingham) charged
me "frith having made the assertion 1 did
without an examination of the evidence.
He hat chosen to bring the matter hero, not
I, and I desire now that in some form this
matter may be fu!l aad thoroughly investi
gated.' ' " ' " '

The Lindel Hotel at St. Louis, the largest
building of its kind on this continent, if not
in tho world, was totally destroyed by fire.
There is a good deal of mystery about the
origin of the fire, but the most reliable ac
counts are that it broke out in one of the
west front rooms, in the fifth story, about
hulf-past eight o'clock but the alarm was
not souuded until after nine o'clock at this
time the Are was confined to two rooms on
that floor, but owing to the extreme height
of the building, and the difficulty in reach-
lug the locality with hose, it gradually as
ceuded till it broke through the sixth and
seventh stories and reached the roof, near
the north-west corner of the building. From
this point the fire rapidly extended under
neath the roof across the entire width of tho
hotel to the east of tho Sixth street front,
and then moved rapidly downwards till the
whole structure was enveloped in flames.
Up to the time that tho tiro spread across
the building, it was tho general belief that
the lower fart of the hotel would be saved,
but as soon as the flames reached the eleva
tors and inner courts, through which strong
currents of air rushed, the fire received a new
aud powerful impetus, and all hope of stay
ing the devouring element was lost. The
efforts of the firemen were not relaxed, how
ever, and the full force of tho Fire Depart
ment was put forth until 8 o clock, at which
time all the inner work was consumed, and
a considerable portion of tho walls had tall
en ; aod what wus ouce the stateliest, most
imposing and handsomest hotel in the
country, wag u mass of crumbling, blackened
ruins.
The building wag owned by the estate of
Henry Ames & Co., Edward E. Ames being
the representative of the property. Its origi
nal cost was a little over $900,000, and was
bought by Ames & Co. in 1808, two months
lifter it wus opeued, for $370,000.
The insurance on the hotel amounts to
$810,000, from $70,000 to $80,000 of which
is iu Eastern offices, muiuly in New York.
The losses were Hatch, Weaver ic Felt,
whoso loss on furniture aud stores is about
$300,000; insured fur $100,000. But little
furniture was saved. About four hundred
guests were iu tho hotel, among whom were
a large number of families. Tho latter lost
most all their personal effects, owing to the
confusion and excitement which prevailed
and tho dishclkf thut tho house would be
destroyed, until it was too late to remove
them.
The losses from this source will probably
reach $100,000. The goods in the stores
underneath the hotel were almost totally
destroyed, although there wus abundant
time to save them. The toss will probubly
be $50,000.
The total loss by the disaster n ill scarcely
be less than $1,000,000.
Tho griissboppcrs are beginning to give
the people of wtetcru Texas some uneasiness.
Tliu Bun Autouia Herald says that the young
insects have appeared in that vicinity
"myriads upon myriads ot little, apparently
harmless things, which, in the immensity of
their number, bid luir, when a little more
