    A TOIIMING INCIDENT.—The Chica
go Tribune of a recent date has 'tile fol
lowing touching incident :
"Hon. John Covodo was in this city on
Lis return froth a Southern tour yesterday.
Hatkad lost two sons in the war, as' he
supposed, two years ago, and falling in
with a member of one of their" regiments

when he was answered: "You must be

five cents, the price they demanded to

cried more," said the patriotic old man to
us, "to have heard the tidings that I had
lost•another son than I did on receiving
this intelligence is doubtful." The son
is now on his way home by the way of
The Suppressed Testimony
The testimony of Sanford Conover,taken
perhaps two weeks ago, was of that class
considered proper by the military court
to be enpressed for the present, with - a
view to the ends of justice, but notwith
standing it has been made public. Judge
Bolt is reported to have said it was ob
tained surreptiously, and that the-publi
cation meets hie condemnation. This
testimony clearly implicates JacobThorop
son, C.C. Clay, George N. Sanders, and
Beverly Tucker, not only in complicity
with the assassination of the President,
but of being actively engaged in the
variaua plots to burn Northern eities,im.
g
port yellow f ver, commit robberies,mur
der and pir y,and other deeds of infamy.
It is also i evidence that a plan was se
rioncly discussed 'for destroying the Cro
ton aqueduct, and that failing, to prison
the people of New York-by putting dead
ly drugs in the reservoirs.. The scoun
drels named were in frequent intercourse
with Booth in Canada,and their published
card denying any knowledge of the mur
der adds, the meanness of lying to the
catalogue of their crimes. 'lt is also clear
from the evidence, that these atrocities
received the sanction of. the Richmond
authonties before they were put into ete
cation and there are good reasons to be
lieve that. Davis himself was a party to
the scheme to murder the President and
other high officers of the Government.
NEW YORK, June 7,—A special dis
. patch to the New York ] papers, dated
Washington, June 6,says The suppress
ed testimony,surreptitioualy published by
Ben Pitman, has greatly endangered the
lives of the witnesses some of whom are
still in Canada. Dr. J. l‘l4ritt,one.of the
witnesses, is a cultivated and well read
gentleman of excellent manners, a physi-
Man by profession,and evidently entirely
truthful. Indeed, after he concluded his
testimony before the court, General Grant
being present, rose and stated that he
knew the witness and desired to vouch
for his credibility. Dr. Merritt was be.
sought not to return to Canada both by.
his friends here and his wife there, but
be persisted in going to settle up his
business, intending to return hero imme
diately. He has not since been heard
from.
The Tribune states that Mr. Conover,
whose testimony concerning, the complic
ity of the rebel- leaders in the,: assassina
tion is now made public, left Washington
for Canada a fortnight, ago to return in
a few days, but has not been_heard from
sines, though his )presence in Washing.
ton is earnestly demanded. It is feared
he.bas beenfoully dealt. with.
Commendable. '
There will open at the city of Milwau
kee on the 28th of June, a grand fair,
under the auspices of the people of the
whole State, for the. purpose of realizing
a quarter of a million of dollars, to, estab
lish and endow .a permanent home for
Wisconsin's disabled soldiers. This is
the first effort of the
,kind made in any
State, and the object is so praiseworthy
that the people of Wiconsin are taking
hold of it with a unanimity, and enthusi
asm that is surprising to see, even in the
whole-sou led generous, West.
g4,Now that the. triumph of our arms has
proven not only the poker but the strength
of the Government, btt the • strength and
safety of the dimocratic ' Principle, there arG
beginning 'to be ominous fears expressed in
Europe of the influence of our republican
example. One English journal says: "It is

Treasu'ry hai i e been in consultation as to
the" best manner ofl dividing up the
Southern Sta;tes into Convenient districts
for the assessment and collection of taxes.
Thus far, {Virginia 1 as been divided into
four, North Carolinothren, Georgia four,

The general reorganization of Southern
society yet presents some doubtful prob
lems.
The opinion has tecently been expressed
by the rebel General Johnston that a BO
cud war between'the Whites aid blacks of
the South is probable.! It is to be hoped
that he has not taken all the favorable
tendencies of the times into accent. But
it is plain that the Goverement will have
need of all the good judgement which it
can command, aided by the discreet and
earnest support of the Northern masses,
in order to remove the danger of collision
between the diffterent Sections of Southern
society. All Must babe their juSt rightis,
the well disposed must have free scope,
and the mische,vious Must be overawed.

NATIONAL DEBTS.
A proposal, in the New York Herald,
to pay off the whole of our National debt,
by 150,000 persons contributing $20,000
each for the purpose which would yield
3,000 millions of dollars, may at first ap-
Rearlinpracticabk, but a little considera
tion will show that it can be done. Only,
insteil of allowing 150,000-persons,how
ever ealtby to effect this liquidation,it
would:be more equitable to include per
sons of all means—so as to distribute
the-kymertt throughout every circle of
society from the highest to the lowest.--
Le.t . Capital Contribute its thousands by
all means, bat let Industry also take its
part in this national achievement. It
would not be any very great sacrifice for
each person, whose labor yields any coin
pensation, to bestow one weeks income,
earning,or salary, to wipe off the entire
National Deht. The united efforts of
Capital and iLabor can easily do it.
It may bolassamed that,in round num.
bers,our debt amounts to 63,000,000,000.
This is exa tly 6100 per head of our
whole white population—not such a very

child.

in that way,but it maybe donbted wheth-,

such a course either tO l commerce, tdde,

lection and interest to the nation:
But who will insure niffrom the crea-
I tion of another debt as large if we get
Irid of this so easily ? What will become
of all our National Banks when their
foundation is so summarily knocked out?
A more practical and practicable sug
gestion would seem to be to subscribe
half the amount, 1,500,000,000 and pre.
sent it to the nation, and reduce the debt
so that an export duty on cotton of a few
cents per pound, stamp duties, and the
customs revenue would produce enough
to meet current expenses, interest, and
create a sinking fund of ..a few millions a
year, without the Title petty and annoy
