The donation to the poor of London if
converted at the current rate of exchange
at the time it was made into American
currency The value of the Missit-ippi
bonds given the South is not here set
down, but their par value, with annual in
terest, is $1,100,000. The total of the do
nation in the above list is 6,135,000 which
the Mississippi bonds may increase to $7,-
235,000. Of this sum all but $1,500,000
has been contributed for public purposes.
It is understood that Mr. Peabody has
provided for every relation of his now liv
ing ; the most distant receiving $50,0u0,
and those nearer $150,000 each, and we
think it can be safely said there is not on
record an instance of greater public and
private citizen of any country iu the world
than that furnished in the princely gifts
of George Peabody.

The electioa for Congressmen, Govern
or and other State officers in Connecticut,
on Monday, April Ist, resulted ic a com
plete triumph for the Democracy, Eng
lish, the white man's candidate for
Governor, is elected over Hawley, the nig
ger-equality. incumbent by about 1000 ma

ed are Democrats. Three of the four con
gressmen elected are for white men. P.
T. Bsmum, the humbug, wooly horse
showman, and wooly-head candidate for
Congress, was elected—to stay at home,
manufacti re mermaids out of seals'heads
and confish tails, and to nurse his bogu9
nigger nurse of George Washington. He
is said to have "quite a show" in New
York eity,but no show at all in the "land
of steady habits." Li/ht has broke.i in

ed on Saturday last, to meet on the 3d
day of July next. An extra session of the
Senate was called by the Piesident to pass
upou executive business.
A REQUEST TO SUBSCRIBERS. —Subscri-
bers to the DEMOCRAT are particularly re
quested not to allow their indebtedness to
overrun one year. All subscriptions
should be paid iu adv trice ; but under no
consideration should the year pass around
with the subscription unpaid. A strict
attention to this will save us an immense
amount of trouble and a very heavy loss.
How LAWS ARC MADE. —Many curi
ous things are sometimes necessary before
American legislators can make laws ; but
the strangest is, perhaps, developed in
Connecticut. Anong the appropriations
of last Congee icut Legislature was S4OO
tor "whisky, lemons, ami sugar for the use
of the Legislature.' Under this inspira
tion, no doubt, some of the laws of the
last session were passed.
MR. AND MRS. JXFF. Davis.— A Geor
gia paper says that * •• i'orabola" in Colum
bos, for the Davis fund, brought between
three and tour thousand dollars. The
New Orleans Crencent , of March 4th, says :
Several Washington ladies are vigorously
engaged making up clothes of baby di

for some time, baa been living at Fortress

A LIBERAL SOIL. —Mr. Tipton the new

made his dtbul in the U i ited States Sen

cause of education in the South. Mr. Tip

Mr. Peabody stood during the rebellion.
They have some very liberal and large
minded men in the West, we presume, but
tbey don't send them ail to Congress.
ADJOURNMENT. —The Legislature of
this State has resolved to adjourn on the
11th ol April. litis is the most sensible
thing that >hey have done this session, for

DIMOCKATIC VICTORY AT CARLISLE.—
On the 15th inst M the Democracy ofCar

rftOCELDIVCS IN CON Git BM,
Tuesday March 21, 1167.
The Case et Mrs. Surratt.
Mr. Bailor (Disan., Mass.) asked and
obtained unanimous consent to make a
personal explanation, the time being lim
ited to fifteen minutes. He stated that
be had caused to be placed on deck of each
member a copy of Mr. Bingham's speech
the other day in the personal discussion
with himself, showing iD parallel columns
the speech as it appeared in the manuscript
of the reporters and the speech as publish
ed in the Globe. The speech, as written
contained 598 words: as printed it con
tained 1,047 words, and in the reporter's
manuscript there were 252 erasures and
alterations. He (Butler,) had understood
the rule to be, that in a personal debate
a member had no right to make any
change unless they were submitted to the
member affected by them. Th* rule bad
been violated in this case. In the matter
thus interpolated was the sentence: *' What
does the gentleman (meaning Butler)
know of the evidence in the case, and
what does he care for the evidence when
he thus as'-ails the official conduct of these
men who constituted the Court !" He
(Butler) would state the evidence on which
he had made, the other day, the ttatemenl
that Mrs. Surratt was improperly lonvicted.
He held in his hand the punted report of
the tria', and had xumined it with great
care, because this was oo sporadic thought
of his. It was the result of careful, anx
| ious investigation for another and a differ
ent purpose, to see who were in the great
conspiracy. The gentleman (Bingham)
bad said that he was an advocate of the
United States on that trial. That jras a
great mistake. lie was the special judge
advocate, whose solemn duty it was to
protect the rights of the prisoner as well
as those of the United States, and to send
up the evidence, and state the law. But
there was one piece of evidence within the
gentleman's (Bingham's) knowledge which
he had not produced on that momentous
trial. When Booth was captured by
Lieutenant Colonel Conger, there was.
said Mr. Butler, taken front his pocket a
diary like the one I now hold in my hand
(holding up a small morocco-covered pock
et diary) in which he (Booth) set down,
day by day, his plans, his thooghta, bis mo
tives, and his excuse. That diary was
put into the possebsion of the government,
but it was not laid before military Commit)
sion, although the gentleman (Bingham)
did lay before the Court Booth's to'-acco
pipe, spur, knife and other articles found
on his person. The diary was not pro
duced. That diary appears now before
our Judiciary Commitlee,and let me say
here that 1 did not cbtaiii a..y information
from that Committee, with the eighteen 1
pages of entries made in the diary, prior
to the time of Mr. Lincoln's
assassination, absent. The edges show
that these pages were all cut out. What
1 want to know is this: Firtt. Was that
diary whole when it came into the bands
of the government? Second. Whether it
was good judgment on the part of these
who wre prosecuting the assassins of Ab
raham Lincoln to put in a tobacco pipe
found in Booth's pocket as evidence
against the prisoners, while the • diary in
Booth's on hand writing detailing
all the particulars of his crime, was with
held? I did not charge the able, brave
and gallant ?oldiers who sat on that court
with any wrong. They did not see the
diary. They did not know of its exist
ence. If they had they might have given
a different 801*0001 of the matter. Who
spoiled that book ? Who suppressed that
evidence? Who caused that innocent wo
man to be hanged while he had in bis pock
et the diary which would have shown at
last what was the idea and what were
the thoughts of the main conspirator?—
There is still remaining in that diarv a
memorable sentence written but a few hours
before J. Wilkes Booth's death; I quote
from memory : "I have endeavored to
cro-s the Potomac five times and failed.—
I propose to return to Washington and
give myself up and clear myself of this
crime." How clear himself? By giving
himself up and disclosing his accomplices.
Who were they? Who spoliated that
book after it got into the possession of the
government ? If it was net spoliated, why
was not Lieutenant-Colonel Conger allow
ed to go oi> and state what had been found
on Booth's body ? The questions were
carefully put to bim so lie should not tell
about the book. He identifies the knife,
pair of pistols, holster, tobacco pipe, cart
ridges, a bill of exchange, <fcc, but he was
nowhere a?ked, "Were these all the arti
cles that were found on Booth ?'' If he
had been asked that question he would
have answered that he had taken Booth's
diary from hie pocket as he lay gaping in
death. Ido not know what would have
been the verdict of the military commis
sion if (hat evidence had been produced.
That evidence found on the person of
Booth should have been produced. I un
derstood the theory to be the reason it was
not produced was lest Booth's glorification
should go into the case. 1 think that a
most lame excuse. If an assassin can glo
rify himself let him do so—but there is no
danger of it. Therefore, 1 again *ay, here
it was a most remarkable circumstance
that a piece of evidence found on the body
of the great conspirator should be conceal
ed. I will take that back—l mean that!
it was not put forwar'—not brought be
fore the great public mind. I believe that
piece of evidence would have shown what
in my judgment the whole case now shows, 1
that Booth up to a certain hour meant a
capture and abduction of Mr. Lincolu,
and that be changed his purpose and re
sorted to assassination. Mrs. Surratt may
or may not have known of the change or
purpose. What I find fault with in the
Judge Advocate, who did not sum up for
the prisoner, is that there was no notice
by him biought to the mind of the Court,
iu hi* very able but very bitter argument
against the prisoner, of this change of
purpose. If Mrs. Sunatt did not know of j
this change she would have had no knowl
edge of the intended assassination, and
therefore could not have been convicted.
The-e are the reasons why I say that I am
glad the blood of the woman, whether in
nocent or guilty, is not on my hands. I
mean by no inlaadoumt ty say 9 word
against the officers who composed that
commission. They were men who relied
for the law upon the Judge-Advocate
who thought they had all the facts before
them, but before whom all the facts were
not put. Ido not mean to say that they
judged wrongly under the light which they
had. *The point which should stand be
fore the country, is that all the testimony,
was not before that tribunal It all the
testimony had been presented, we should
have been to pursue the accomplices, and
to find oat who it was that changed Booth's
purpose from capture to assassination, who
it was that was to profit by the assassina
tion, and that would not profit by the cap
tare of Mr. Lincoln; who it was that
should succeed to Mr. Lincoln in case the
ballet made a vacancy. In some aspects
of the case that diaty might Dot have been
legal testimony, but its moral evidence wo'd
hv carried conviction to the mind of ev
erybody, because it was the dying decla
ration of a man, assassin though lie were,
who was telling the truth between himself
and God. How was Booth, by coming
back to Washington, going to clear him
self of the great crime ? That question
still remains. Were the eighteen pages
of Booth's diary gone when it came into the
possession of the learned Judge-Advocate ?
If so, why did he not inquire what became
of them, whether Lieutenant-Colonel Con
ger gave the book to somebody, whether
it went from bis hands into other hands,
and whose knife it was that cut those
leaves P I should not have pursued this
matter further, exespt that the gentleman
(Mr. Bingham) charged me with having
made the assertion I did without examina
tion of the evidence. He has ch >sen to
bring the matter here, not J, and I desire
now that in some form this matter may be
freely and thoroughly investigated.

Josh Billings' Kasa Onto Swine,
Hogs generally ate quadrupid.
The extreme length ov their antiquity
has never been fully discovered ; they ex
isted a loug time before the flood, and have
existed a long time since.
There is a great deal of internal rcvencw .
on a hog ; there ain't much more waste in
them than there is in an oyster.
Even ttieir tails can be worked up iuto
wltissels.
Hogs are good, quiet boarders ; they al
wuz eat whet iz set before them, and don't
ask any foolish questions.
They never hev enny disseaze but the !
measels, and they never have that but once;
one*' seems to satisfy them.
There iz a grate many breeds amongst
them.
Some are a close corporation breed, and
some are bilt more apait, like a hemlock
slab. j
They used to hev a breed in New Eng- |
land, a few years ago, which they called !
the striped hog breed ; this breed was in
high repute among the landlords ; almost
every tavern keeper had one, which he
used tew show tew travelers and brag on
him.
Some are full in the the face,like a town
clock, and some are as long and lean as a
cowcatcher, with a steal-pinted nose on
them.
They kan all rate well; a hog that kant
rute well has been mada in vain.
Tbey arc a short-lived animal and gener
ally die as soon as they git fat.
The hog kan b larnt a grate Benny
cunning things, such as hisiing the front
gate off from the hinges, tipping over swill i
barrels, and finding a hclc in the fence tew ,
git into a corn field ; but there ain't enny j
length to their memory ; it is awful hard 1
for them tew find the satuc hole tew git outj
at. espesbaJly if you are at all anxious they j

Hogs are very contrary, and seldom drive .

An Amazing Confection.
Every fiiend of injured innocence should
rend the Congressional debat* of Tuesday
of this w<M-k—26th March. It is almost
certnin that an innocent woman has been
hung by devilish coutrivance of men in
high station.
On Tuesday Ben. Bntler and Bingham
renewed their bitter personal debate about
the trial and conviction of Mrs. Surratt,
showing that villainy of the blackest dye,
rests soma where. But before we proceed
to give Butler's charge, let us make some
recapitulation. Ben Butler is now a mem
ber <>f Congress from Massachusetts. —
Bingham is an old member from Ohio; he
is sharp, shrewd, ready and somewhat elo
quent as a speaker, and as a lawyer able,
though a thorough malicious abolitionist.—
He was feed to assist in the trial of per
son 9 charged with assassinating Lincoln.
Reverdv Johnson was the Attorney of
Mrs. Surratt, and his commanding abilities
crowd Bingham and Holt. They sought
to get rid of him Bingham objected to
his conducting Mrs. Surrau's defence be
cause Johnson bad advised the voters of
Maryland to take a ceitain test oath and
vote against the new Constitution, no odds
what their scruples were, as the Conven
tion had no power to prescribe any such
oath. This advice, Bingham argued, was
so dishonorable that Johnson ought not to
be permitted to act as attorney. Johnson
fired up at the insinuation, and hinted that
as old as he was, still he was young enough
V call Bingham to personal account.—
Johnson would not appear in Court after
the objection was made, but wrote out a
defence of Mrs. Surratt aud bad it read b>
a younger Attorney.
Bingham lately revolted in tha delight
of conducting the prosecution. There was
plenty of money, plenty of detectives, and
any quantity of evidence, The Military
Commission convicted Mrs. Surrat, and she
was sentenced to be hung. We well rec
ollect the sad incidents of that dreadful day,
Mrs. Surrat was brought upou the scaffold,
her face and figure muffled up with a black
covering, and looking more i.ke a *ack man
a human being. The haugiuaa did ins woik
the poor wojnan was sent into eternity.
Now let u return to the Butler and
Bingham debate in Congirss on Tuesday
of this week. In the face of all men, in the
light of day, and b-fore Heaven, Butler
spoke in short as follows: Mrs. Suriatt
was cnvict< d without sufficient evidence.
She was an innocent woman. Booth kept
a not>- in a small book of tne place he was
at every day ; of what t e did ; 01 his plans;
and of his motives. When he was shot in
the barn, his tobacco pipe was secured aud
that small book 1c came into possession
of Bingnam. The tobacco box was shown
to the jury, but the book was withheld
Eighteen Waves were cut out. By whom?
F'r what purpose? Butler charges that
the book with the eighteen missing leaves,
would have cleared Mrs. Surratt, if shown
to the jury, but that bv aileimg and keep
ing back the book, poor Mrs, surratt was
wickedly found guilty and hung.
Thu is about the nubsiance, aud we ad
vise ev> rvbody to get the debate of Tues
day, between Butler and Bingham, and
read it.
What is this country coming to? Men
of high place, ot p.wer, of ability, working
together to couvict and lung a poor hap
less innocent woman ! oucn men as Speed,
Holt, Stanton and Biughain, deserve the
rope in th's world, and everlasting fire in
the next.

Jn the State Seoate on the 28th the Reg
istry bill was discussed and paused to third
reading. During the discussion it was ful
ly shown by in* Democrats that the bill
jas not only unnecessary but onerous and
unjust to a large number people—
the working people especially. The Radi
cals repotted it and supp-rted it. Ihe
Democrats opposed it. It creates a new
a'nd distinct class of offences which are not
misdemeanors under our present laws, and
it disfranchises voters who have not been
registered on a particular day, notwith
standing that they may have paid btate
and county tuxes, and are otherwise lully
qualified to vote.
The bill as reported provides that the
asstssor or register shall tuect wi.li the
election board of the district on the twrlftn
day preceding the election, for toe pi.rpo.-e
of'ranking a final registry ot the voters of
the district. A motion was made to sub
stitute the fifth day, so as to give six more
days for registering, but the Radicals voted
it down. A motion to substitute the tenth
was, however, carried.
Er M'Candless, Democrat, moved that
the meeting of the boatd be kept * open
from 9 a m., to 9p. tn. — so us to allow the
working men an opportunity to get register
ed without losing time from work, BL'T THE
MOTION WAS VOTKD DOWN BY TUX RADI
CALS, The vote was yeas 13 —12 Demo
crats and 1 Radical; nays 15 —all Radicals.
The hours now stand : from 9 a, m. {after
laboring people have gone to work) '.ill 6
p. tin ( before they have returned from work.)
Mr. M'Candless also moved that the
polls should be kept open from 8 a in. ti l
8 p. m. —instead of lrom Ba. m. tiil dp. m.
—but this, too. was voted down by the
Radicals, 20 of whom voted against it.
In these tacts the people may plainly
see the intent and meaning of the leauers
of the Radical party. Knowing as they do
that the Democratic party is the party ot
the people—made up oflhe woikmg, in
dustrious masses—those leaders are malig
nantly determined to place every obstacle
in the way of the people as voters and
freemen. Their legislation is all 'or the
benefit of the white gentlemen of leisure,
who need no employment, and lor the "col
ored gentlemen ' ol indolence, who dou't
want any employment —wbftat "de booro"

j No More Licenses,—lt is said by those who
: are presumed to know, that a prohibitory liquor law
! has bean passed for this County. We hero not MOO
the bill, nor have we noticed an acconnt of its passage
in any of the papers. We bare receired official no
. tice of the passage of the law relating to th* grant
; ing of licenses to Eating House Keepers, an abstract
j of which was published in our lust weeks issue
J Barn Burned.—The barn of Mr. Ellis Walters
of Falls, in this County, with a Urge amount of
seasoned lumber, Carpenter's toola. farming imple
ments Ac. stored therein, was entirely destroyed by
fire on the 20th alt. The fire originated from e
small fire which a boy, liring with him had mods to
; warm himself by.
This lots is a particularly severe one to Mr. Wal
ters, who had acquired his property by hard labor at
the carpenters bench, and was preparing to bailda
house lumber lost t.y the fire.
High XV Inds.-.lhe winds hare been one
regular spree for the past few days. They got so
"high" on Friday last that ferrying the nver at
this place, was for several hours considered danger
ous, and was therefore suspea led. The ferry boat
by the dashing of the waves against it, was sunk-
End crinoline in the streets, as*umed_rather an ob
long or oval shape, with a strong upward tendsocy.
We are anxiously waiting the result of the "Mains
Law"--on the winds, and other objects that aoat
times get high.
Burglary and Tlul't.—Two young nan. Cy
rns Cornell and Sylregter Rosengrant, were brought
to town last week to be put in jail. They are chart
e > with entering the Factory ville DeDOt ujid stealing
therefrom, two pairs ot boots, a five-gallon leg of
whiskey, a lot of postal cuirency 4c. Cornell is
said to be from .Bradford Co.: and a pretty herd
customer. Roseng.ant gave bail for bis appearing#
to answer at the April sessions. The key was turn
ed on Cornell. An attempt to conceal too much ef
the whiskey inside ef their shirts at on time, we un
derstand, led to the disc#very that they were the
takers.
"Confiscating" (this is the "loyal" name for .teal
ing) whiskey, in the custody ot as "good" a "Temp
lar" as Esq Mace, the agent, there, is considered
plain violation of the license laws, and if proved
ought to be severely punished.
i "Ott'the Town."--Miss Mary Sprague, who
! some of our oldest inhabitants say, jias been a puo
li c pauper in ihis place, l>r upward* of 25 year*
"died, again" a day or two since. She vu much
givei to walking about town and almost op to her
last hour was on foot. In appearance she was alrast
a walking skeleton. For many years she has suff
ered trom nervous affection which made her reel and
•tagger like a drunken person Uer hearing, eye
sight and other faculties were quits accute ant un
impaired. A few years since she fell in a fit or
trance and presented all the appearances of a dead
person. Some well meaning end kind hearted old
Ladies who were present, forthwith congratulated
themselves, the puolic, and Mary, upon her hippy
! deliverance from this world of sin and sorrow. Miry,
J upon waking from her trance, gaye these good wo-
I men a "piece of her wind which, of voureo, was
j not very flattering to thein. Least there may be e
mistake about the matters this time, we will *ay
for Mary that as far as we know she was a harmless,
inoffensive, unfortunate creature —a subject of pity
rather than of scorn or ridicule; on 1 fur the public
who have expended thousands of dollars for her sup
port during so many years, that the meney might
have been appropriated te worse purposes.
