in behalf of Mrs. Surratt, ‘jfhqneraUng her
from complicity, and that another person sub
scribed, to an affidavit impeaching the testimony
of an important witness agai£Ct her.
■ The.rebel General Ewell lately addressed a
letter-to an old army companion in Minneso
ta, from -which we quote. If is dated “ fort
Warren, June 13,1865." Speaking of how he
came into the rebel cause, hesays:
I came from* Arizona, sick; in -the spring of
1861, Staid ,in the coontr^jin v Virginia, my
State, trying to get well, anct,'found the war,
to my bitter regret, was beiig started. All
the highest United States afoy officers were
resigning, except 'General - So. 'tt, and ha -pub
lished a letter that the Uni!id .States would
divide into - four' parts, thus,. that be
thought all was over. A Up?ted States Sena
tor said he would march a I Irtbern regiment
to help the Sooth for every-vhe sent against
ber.p Nothing was.uone wr’-}. either of these
men, or with others whose d jda were treason
able. A member of Congrefj, from California,
made a public speech callini -upon the South
to resist the election of Mr. Hhcoln.
'' Now I found myself forcf d to fight against
my brothers and all. my ne' rest and dearest
relatives—against my own-f sates, when many
abler men than myself oc itended she was
right. ■ By taking up Ae t do of the South I
forfeited a handsome positio , fine pay, and the
earnings of twenty years, service. All
the pay I drew in four yet, Is in -the Sooth
was not as much as four ye r fi, pay in the old
army. The greatest politics.’TWoritism against
me f ever had was from Bf -. Davis ■ after the
Mexican war.
It is hard to aoobnnt for! my course, except
from a painful sense of duf I—l1 —I say painful,
because I believe few were.(.ore devotid to the
old country than myself: a-id the greatest ob
jection I had to it wee becat-tf o,f my predilec-,
tion for a strong one. Npwlsee persons who
did what they could to brio;; about the war, in
high favor in the North, 1 tiding high office.
It was like death- to me.
En route here from N( ) - Mexico, 1861,1
volunteered my services to fl |ht-the Texans,
threatening a United States’® .*sonal, before re
arguing; I?
1 have aeked to be allowfl to take the oath
of allegiance and return to ny duties as a citi
zen. 1 see, though, that mtoy persons, aotWe
in the first steps in bringing- >tbis. war about,
are, at liberty, while I am hero with no very
good prospect of getting out; while my wife
"Is' ‘ under arrest in St., Louis, and has been
'since April, but up to has utterly
failed even to find out why-j-ghe is arrested.
Neither she-or myself have slightest idea
of the cause of her arret i. R. 8. Ewell ■

Hall must have been reading the Devil’s
exhorta.tioo.and prayer in Bailey’s “ Festus,"
where th>S;Qld Boy bemoans the decay of piety
and denounces the world for taking him at his
word in doing his' work.
But these (im)pious dodges will not cover
up a bad record.
THE VEXED QUESTION.
An old truth is as good os any and loses
noth ing'by being re-deolared. "
Whatever is Right is Expedient.
And whatever is just is equal.
- Nothing is more certain than that the max
ima, which -have governed political action in the
past are to become obsolete, by degrees;. Un
der the-new order of things'men will rather
consider Bight than cold Expediency, Princi
ple, than Policy. In, other words, it will, be
politic'to'do right, and expedient to be just..
‘ 'And this vexed question' of Suffrage is to be
taken up, discussed, and finally adjusted un
der the auspices of the reformed order of
things. To such as possess their sonla in the
clondlesß-faith born of hope, this brings com
fort which passes understanding. For. those
who regard all happenings as accidents, and
all trouble as unmitigated evil, there is no joy
in watching the slow, and painful progress of
civilization. .
It must be popular to -advocate universal
suffrage. It pleases the fancy, somewhat. 1c
would be popular to advocate' the distribution'
-of accumulated capital among the masses ; for
the many eat their bread with quiveriog. mus
cles and -aching bones: c -
Does some one ask if we are in favor of uni
versal suffrage? We answer that we ate in
favor, of universal suffrage when universal man
shall be fitted to exercise the right with orodit
-to himself and-safety to the country. In just
that sense, and in nootber, are wafer univer
sal suffrage. If the success of a government
by the people depends npon their intelligence
and virtue, it becomes so dependent through
the exercise of the right of suffrage. Then
the regulation,-limitation, or extension of this
privilege; becomes at once of paramount im
portance.
Admitting that the right is inherent, it is
evident that it is not so without qualification
and restriction. -The law fixes the earliest pe
riod at which the native citizen may enjoy ft
at the age of 21 years. It is so fixed upon
the presumption that at that period the average
of men attain to the maturity of judgment and
character which fits them to undertake the bu
siness of life. Of course, not every man is
qualified to transact business- even at that age,
just as some "are qualified to transact business
at eighteen. Both are exceptional cases as re
gards the human family.
■■ Herein we see limitation of the right by
common consent. It is a limitation for the
safety of the *H|kte —the fitness- of the voter
being taken into special account. This affords
a clue to the solution of the Vexed Question.
That is, the fait inference is, that, intelligence
is an indispensable requisite to the safe exer
qise of the elective franchise.
Now the immense labors performed by thq
advocates of the system of free schools, have
been undertaken and carried forward with this
special object in view—the better preparation
of the citizen for the duty and and responsi
bility of an elector. It is an unanswerable
argument against universal suffrage. Either
virtue and intelligence are absolutely necessary
to the safety of popular governments, or the
education of the people is a Work of no value.
And if such education is the safeguard of free
institutions, what of free government
can advocate theextension of the franchise to
men who cannot read, and tfane are deprived
of the means of becoming acquainted with the
principles and policy of parties ? ; '
.Men may as well look the thing,in the face.
Strip the question of the tioselry of hack-poli
tics, and regard the welfare of the republic.
The, mousing demagogue will seize upon the
occasion to champion the cause of bis dupes;
let him do It—it'is his privilege. But fear of
or misrepresentation, should
deter no man from doing bis wbole.duty.
, The right of suffrage can never be made de
pendent upon freehold, or other property quali
cation without endangering - the, stability of
free institutions. The theory is false and the
practice dangerous. Neither can the hue of
the ekin qualify or disqualify the citizen for
the exercise of the right. If this Government
falls, its fall will come through the decadence
of virtue and intelligence of the people; and
each decay can only affect the stability of our
institutions through the ballot-box.
W.e have a difficulty wprlt to perform. Old
forms, having served their purpose, are hasten
ing to decay, and new forms are taking shape,
and challenging our choice. In reconstructing

The New York World, in reply to a corres
pondent, discards the story of Jeff.-Dovis's at

“The story of Davis's ignoble attempt at flight
is even more ignoble than 1 told it. Mrs. Da
vis and her sisteryMiss Howell, after having
clothed him in the dress of the former, and
put on bis bend a woman's head dress, started
out, one holding each arm, and besought Col.
Pritchard's men in the most piteous- tones to
let them take their “poor old. mother out of
the way" of the firing. Mrs.' Davis said:
"Oh Ido let us pass with our poor-old mother,
who is so frightened, and fears to be kHied,"—
One of Pritchard's * men. catching sight of the
“ President's" boots' below the skirts of the
dress, suspected' at once ..who the poor old
mother was, an d replied, Oh 1 no; you-don'#

Come down; old fellow l ,r ~ .The party reached

This -certainly ovlght to settle the question
in regard to “these masterly fictions of the
War Department," which the World talks,
about. '
In view of the act of the 1 arrest of John
Mitchel, editor of the New York Daily News,
and late of ibe Richmond Enquirer, gome facts
respecting him and extracts from his late wri
tings may not be void of interest. His history
is 100 sTcil known to call for extended reference.
He is nn lrisbman of the Protestant religion, a
bitter opppser toCatholiciem, and was engaged
in the Irish rebellion of 1348; for which he was
sen fenced to be transported for fourteen years.
■ Escaping the punishment by forfeiting his
parole he migrated to this section of the coun
try,'where he engaged'in the publication of the
Citizen, receiving the support and countenance
of bis countrymen, and at last migrated to Ala
bama. Here his pen was wielded and bis voice,
raised in sustaining the cause of the slavehold
ers, and some time after the breaking out of
the rebellion be was made an associate editor
of the Richmond Emptier, which was the oSicial
organ of Jeff. Davis.
Some of bis speeches were in the highest
degree denunciatory of the Government whose
protection be has recently sought, and bis voice
was always lifted, against the soldiers of the
Union. As soon as Richmond feel and tbe
cause of his master, Jeff. Davis, was clearly
lost, Mitohel came to New York, and, on the
first instant, assumed tbe editorial charge ,of
tbe Daily News, which position he held until
his arrest to-day.
It appears that Mr. Mitchel was sitting in bis
office in conversation with Mr. Benjamin Wood,
when two United States officers attached to
General Dix’s staff, accompaniedi by Detectives
Elder and Golden, walked in, and requested to
see Mr. Mitchel. That gentleman at once sta
ted that he was the person they were in quest
cj, and desired to know their business. Ope of
tbe officers then produced a warrant of arrest,
signed by General Dix, and desired Mr. Mitchel
to accompany them. Mr. Mitchel was placed
in a carriage, accompanied by an officer, and
driven off.— Commercial’ Advertiser. '

I claim to be selling alt kinds of goods that I dea!
in, such as mentioned below, at as reasonable rates si
any firm in the Stats, and a great deal lower than a
large proportion of dealers. The advantages I claim
are, a larger sale of goods in proportion to my expen
ses than most any house in the country, also no losses
by old goods or credit accoonta. Ido not carry a
very heavy stock, but intend to keep all goods tbit
can be sold to advantage, making no leads u is cus
tomary in many bonses to draw trade; selling a fee
goods very low and making up on others, but selling
all goods at a very low scale {of profits, and giving
small buyers as good a chance as large ones. 1 be.
lieve that one man’s money is as good as another's
and should buy as many goods if the money is Green
backs, and will not consent to compete on the
JEW PRINCIPLE.
All goods we have in the house are marked in plain
figures at the price we can afford to sell them.
Particular attention is invited to the following de
partments, os containing a great many bargains in
