SATURDAY, MAY 4, 18C7.
$W Tbatku Rllrod have worked
wonderful changes in regard to travel. A
few jean since, itngo coach, daily, carry
ing nine passengers, was considered a fair
complement for the business of an ordinary
route of travel. Now trains of cars contain
ing several hundred passengers are not tin
frequent. The additional train recently put on the
Northern Central and Philadelphia & Erie
roads, which leaves this place at 0 o'clock
in the evening for Harrisburg and Philadel
phia, is a great convenience. There are
now twenty arrivals and departures of pas.
senger trains, at this place, every twenty,
lour hours. Surely this ought to satisfy the
public. '
"Provisions still rule high, nctwith.
standing the favorable prospects of the
crops. The price of wheat must certainly
recede before long. It is now only about
eight weeks until harvest, and if the abund
dant crops turn out as well as expected,
there must be a rapid decline in prices.
f3f Jbff Davis' counsel will make
formal application at the May term of the
United States Court in Richmond, Va., for
the trial of Jeff Davis or his release upon
bail, neither of which will be granted. The
counsel claim to have a promise from the
President to interfere and secure a release or
trial, but it is extremely doubtful that tho
President contemplates any such action.
37" The Press asks : Why is it that Con
federate story writers always find a place in
the Democratic press for their rebel reminis
cences and glorification t They never do in
the Radical papers, who, if nothing else, are
surely patriotic. Straws show which way
the wind blows.
EST" The President, Congress and the
Supreme Court, all unite in condemning the
folly and illegality of the injunction got up
by Sharkey, Walker, Cowan and Black.
These gentlemen have found themselves in a
pitiful minority against the whole country.
63T At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, the
stockholders, voting by shares, decided by a
very largo majority of stock to accept the
act of the Legislature, passed at its last ses
sion, and to take action under it.
tW A few weeks since a war between
France and Prussia was almost certain. But
through the mediation of the British gov
ernment, (seconded, no doubt, by Queen
Victoria herself, the dispute adout Luxem
bourg will be satisfactorily and amicably
arranged by the conference, which will be
held in London, shortly, for that purpose.
t"The Washington Chronicle says that
the rolling stock, &a, of Southern Railroads
turned over to the former owners of thoEe
roads by the President's order, were official
ly valued at 7,6C3,223, whereof but $1,184,
140 had been paid at the date of tho last
report The Chronicle adds :
"So little do the persons who have been
made the beneficiaries of Presidential liberal
ity appreciate his kindness, that one of their
first acts, after the newly-built roads, with
their splendid engines and substantial roll
ing stock, had been restored to them, was
to discharged all the employees of Northern
birth. The President of the Western and
Atlanta Railroad, who has his headquarters
at Atlanta, Georgia, as soon as that improve
ment was turned over to biin, on the 8th of
August, 18C5, dismissed all the employees of
Piortuern uirtn, on tne ground tuat the sen
timent of the people of Georgia would not
permit him to retain Northern men in any
capacity."
Another murder was committed in Phila
delphia, on Tuesday afternoon of last week.
Mrs. Magilton, aged 62 years wss murdered
in her own house, by a young man nnmed
Winnemore. Tbe murderer bad not yet left
the premises when the husband of Mrs.
Magilton returned after an absence of about
an hour, and found his wife murdered.
Winnemore was arrested and after a hearing
was committed for trial. Mrs. Magilton was
known to have two $3 bills in her pocket
in the morning, these were gone and two
bills of the same denomination found in tbe
possession of Winnemore. The murderer
accomplished his great crime by beating his
victim over the head, fracturing the scull in
several places, and afterwards cutting her
throat with a razor. lie had visited the
house of his victim frequently during a
month past, ho having made the acquain
tance of the Magilton family at a meeting
oi spiritualists.
Thb Odd Fellows Thanksgiving. -Friday
last being the day set apart as a Nation
al Thanksgiving, by the I. O. of O. F., we
notice by our exchanges, was generally ob
served by the Order throughout the country.
In the cities and larger towns particularly
divine service was attended by large num
bers, and in some instances the day- was
made the occasion for parades, orations, &c.
It is stated tnat tne largest and most im
posing display of tbe kind, ever witnessed
in Washington city, took place on that day,
some 1500 members of tbe order being in
procession. Grand master Garcy, of Balti
more, delivered the oration at the National
Theatre, in which he stated the receipts of
oi tne oraer tnrougnoui tne country, for the
year ending with July last, were 11,800,000;
m wuicn f uo,uuu was expenaoa in burials,
jD3,uut) lor tne reuer or tbe widows and
orphans, and 1030,000 for the relief of breth
ren in distress.' Two hundred and seventy
widows and orphans of deceased members
of the Order occupied seats in the Theatre
during the ceremonies.
It is reported that the Peace Conference
wmcu is to assomhie in London on tbe 15th
of May will consist of the representatives of
France, Prussia, England, Austria, and Rus
sia, and of tbe King of Holland, as Grand
duke of Luxemburg. Italy, which has now
ovor 24,000,000 of inhabitants, snd which
on other occasions has been treated as one
of the great Powers, is not mentioned among
tbe Powers which will be represented in
London. Tbe basis for the deliberations of
the Conference is said to provide that' the
present boundaries of France shall not be
enlarged, and tqat the fortifications of Lux
emburg shall be evacuated or dismantled.
Tbe Conference is to decide npon tbe future
status of the Grand Duchy, and to guarantee
this decision. If the dispatch is correct, tbe
Grand Duchy is permanently lost for France,
but not yet for Germany.

THE ftl7RItATT MYSTERY.
A dispatch from Washington to the N. Y.
Herald says
"It is the opinion of persons high in au
thority and influence here, that' the trial of
John II. Surratt will be ultimately abandon
ed. The impression is that there is a gen
eral conviction prevailing In official quarters
that the unfortunate Mrs. Surratt was not
guilty of the crime for which she was exe
cuted, and that the trial of her son would
only result in more clearly establishing that
fact. Such a development, of course, would
not be relished by the Administration and
others concerned in tbe trial and condemna
tion of the mother. There is another cause,
however, not very creditable, assigned why
tho President would not wish the trial to
occur; but, as it would cast a deep slur upon
the reputation of '.one who lately has not
been sleeping on the bed of roses, I refrain
from giving it publicity. It might only be
creating another sensation, and perhaps,
without justification of scandal-mongers.
However this may bo, it is not believed that
the evidence in possession of the Govern
ment will warrant the trial of John II. Sur
ratt." , The Tribunt says i
"We think it time to say that the many
mystcrios surrounding ' this Surratt case
should cease. Siuce the assassination of
President Lincoln, wo have had endless
surmises, and make shifts, and tricks, in re'
ference to the crime and those accused. In
the first place, we had the Government pro
clamations accusing Davis, and Sanders, und
Thompson of the assassination. Then we
had the trials, in which these persons were
solemnly arraigned as participants in that
crime. There are few things that our child
ren will less care to road than that solf-enmo
trial, with wayward and rude justice. Then
came the swift execution of Mrs. Surratt, al
though Payne, an assassin by his own con
fession, asserted her innocence. We had
the escape of Surratt his wanderings under
Government espionage the fact that it was
known where he was, and no effort made to
arrest him until Mr. Boutwell, speaking the
public opinion of the nation, compelled his
arrest We have also bad tho imprison
ment of Davis as an assassin if there is any
value in tho judgmont of the commission
that tried Payne and his companions. His
continued imprisonment without trial, or
the pretense of a trial, is in itself a mystery
and a shame. Then came Gen. Butler's fa
mous speech, showing that the diary of
Booth bad been suppressed, on the conspi
racy trial, and tbe declaration of a great
lawyer that Mrs. Surratt had been innocent
ly hanged. Immediately came an announce
ment that the War Department would print
tbe Booth diary so soon as something or
other occurred. Well : time enough has
passed for twenty things to happen, and
nothing is heard of the Booth diary I Final
ly, we have the most provoking delays
about the trial of Surratt, with an announce
ment that he is not to be tried, because the
trial might establish the fact that Mrs. Sur
ratt was not guilty at all I
It is time that this juggling should cease;
and especially as the Surratt case is only a
part of the juggling that has been permitted
since tho death of Mr. Lincoln. That trage
dy is one of the most mysterious in the an
nals of crime. There is something hidden
that we crave to know. What it is we can
not say ; but tbe records of the trial, the
continued imprisonment of Mr. Davis, and
especially tho shuffling of the Government,
compel distrust and suspicion. Why bus
not Booth's diary been published f Why is
George N. Sanders not demanded from the
British Government if the Administration
really believes he was a partner in the crime
of Booth ? Why is not Davis, either pun
ished or released ? And why is not John
II. Surratt, against whom, at least, all tbe
evidence we have points unerringly, brought
to justice I"
Starvation lu (be South A Tcrible
Story.
A letter to the Southern Relief Commis
sion, dated Woodstock, Tuscaloosa county,
Alabama, April 12, says:
"In our deplorable situation, being aim net
destitute of food and clothing, without any
hopo of relief by a providential combination
of circumstances, the news of your benevo
lent organization came to us, whereupon we
called a meeting of our citizens and organ
ized our society, called tho Hepzibah Relief
Society, in the county, thirty miles from the
city of Tuscaloosa, consisting of about two
hundred and seventy-five heads of families,
averaging five to each family, equal to one
thousand three hundred and seventy-five
souls, to make application to you for help
to keep us from starvation ; and wo hereby
humbly appeal to your Christian generosity
for help.
"Our language is not sufficient to describo
to you the thousandth part of our suffering
our children without clothing or bread,
or the means of education, in which situa
tion we implore you not to lcjt us remain.
Help us speedily for mercy ana humanity's
sake, and God will bless you for so doing.
If our leuding politicians did precipitate us
into an unholy and nnnatural war, it was
not our fault. If you knew how many of
us struggled against that measure, you could
not cherish an unkind feeling against us.
Our sons, brothers, husbands and fathers,
were hunted down like wild beasts, and
dragged in chains to the fields of deodly
contlict ; and many for refusing to go were
shot down like dogs and left to feed tho
vultures of the air.
"Gentlemen, this is no fancy picture.
The war devastated our country, and in ad
dition thereto a failure of a crop last year
leaves us in an awful condition, and can
you or will you refuse us our relief? 1
write as the representative of 1875 starving
poor. Be so kind as to send us bread, meat,
shoes, hats, clothing, or any thing you can
spare."

Attempt to iiet as Injunction from
the Supreme Court
New York, April 29, 1807. A special
dispatch to the Herald from Waehiugton
says Walker, Sharkey, Jenkins and other
parties here, who are endeavoring to get an
injunction from the Supreme Court, against
the President's execution of the reconstruc
tion laws of Congress, are confident, it is
said, of succeeding in their object. They
count Judges for and against the injunction,
and triumphantly declare, in advance, that
the majority will be on their side that is
to say, out of the nine Judges five will be
for injunction to four against, the division
of the court being the same as in the Milli
gan case. Of course the decision of the ma
jority is the verdict of the Court. It is
intimated that the President anticipates
such a decision, and even desires it, hoping
in this way to defeat the purpose of Con
gress and to carry out his own policy.

but there being a total absence of an Ameri

great number of all sorts of other banners.
Gen. Sickles addressed the Post Command

letter, and ordered the column not to move
until tbe requirements of this letter were

Geneiial: Yon remember the regrets we
expressed to promiaout citizens on the day
of the last firemen's parade, that the Ameri

then said to have been an inadvertent omis
sion. It is reported to me this morning that
among the "Various emblems borne by tbe
several companies at the rendezvous on the
citadel parade ground tho flag Is not there.
I desire that you will at once, send for the
Chief of the Fire Department, and inform
him that the national standard must be
borne in front of the column : that an escort
of honor, to consist of two members of each
company present, will be detailed by him
self to march with the colors ; that tho co

The London Peace Conference.
The warlike Cable dispatches which we
have been receiving for some time from
Europe, and which stated that Count Bis
marck had sent an ultimatum to France, that
both countries were arming, and that war
was almost certain, Bre now succeeded by
the announcement that Louis Napoleon has
submitted more moderate demands, that the
Queen of England had urged upon the King
of Prussia to take the new French proposi
tions into consideration, that Prussia had
complied with this request, and that on the
15th of May a Peace Conference of represen
tatives of ull the great Powers of Europe is
to meet in London. The basis of the Con
ference proceedings will be the neutraliza
tion of the Grand Duchy, and the dismant
ling of the fortress.
It will be remembered that tho whole
complication arose out of the steps taken
by the French Government for the purchase
of the Grand Duchy. Count Bismarck open
ly declared in the German Parliament that
Prussia claimed no right to compel Luxem
burg to enter the North German confedera
tion, though he insisted that Prussia hud a
treaty right to garrison the fortress. Tho
original design of France having been baf
fled, Prussia, on her part, declared a readi
ness to withdraw her troops from the for
tress. The meeting of a Peace Conference is in
itself but little guarantee for the conclusion
of peace. The London Peace Conference of
April 8, 1864, did not prevent the continua
tion of the Schlcswig-Holstcin war, as in
our own country the Peaco Confeicnco at
Washington did not prevent the outbreak
of the Rebellion. But if tho neutralization
of Luxemburg and tbe dismantling of tbe
fortress have beet agreed upon, thero re
mains comparatively little to quarrel about,
and the friends of peace may reasonably in
dulge the hope that war for the present
may be averted. JV. Y. Tribune.
