THE PRINTER'S ESTATE. —The printer's
dollar? —where are they 'I A dollar here,
arid a dollar lliere scattered over numerous
small towns, all over the country, miles
apart —-how shall they be gathered to
gether? The paper maker, the building
owner, the journeyman compositor, the gro
cer, the tailor, and all assistants to him in
carrying on Lis business, have their de
mands. hardly ever so small as a single dol
lar. But the mites from here and there
must be diligently gathered and patienlly
hoarded, or the wherewith to discharge the
liabilities will never become sufficient
ly bulky. We imagine the printer will
have to get up an address to these widely
.-cattered dollars something like the follow
ing :
u Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, and
all manners of fractions into which ye are
divided, collect yourselves and come home!
Yc are wanted ! Combinations of all sorts
of men that help the printer to become a
proprietor, gather such force, and demand,
with such good reasons, your appearance
at his counter, that nothing short of a
sight of you will appease them. Collect
yourselves, lor valuable as you are in the
aggregate, single you will never pay the
cost of gathering. Come in here, in single
tile, that the printer may form you into a
battalion, and send you forth again to bat
tle for him, and vindicate his feeble credit!"
Reader, are you sure you havn't a cou
ple of the printer's dollars sticking about
yout clothes ?
AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION. Perhaps
there is one thing that the Abolition speak
ers and editors have more persistently de
nied Uwtn that they were responsiole for
the rejection of the Crittenden Compro
mise in TBOI. At last, however, Horace
Greeley, in the Tribune of April thus
says:
"If a poll coull then have been had on the
nuestionj, the Free Slates icuuld have given a pop
ular majority for the Crittenden Compromise. It
was omr tusk to stew this headlong torrent, and
.•ive the nation froin committing this gigantic crime.
We did this, perhaps with not so much wisdom as
another might, but with such wisdom as we had."
Here are two gigantic admissions. Ist.
That the people were in favor of the
Crittenden Compromise, but the Aboli
tioniits would not submit it to the people.
They did not wish the people to rule.—
They wanted war. 2d. That Horace
Goeeley, and such men as he, among whom
were David Dudley Field and Wm. Curtis
Noyes, who went to the Peace Congress on
purpose to break it up, were the men who
brought on the war. Let these two facts
be remembered. The end is not yet. The
scoundrels and traitors who involved our
country in war, are now, in the hour of
their success, making confessions which
they will find find staring them in the face
More long in a very ugly manner. The
tl.iy of judgment for these men is nearer
than they suppose.— Banner of Libtrty.

Baker's Book.
The Philadelphia Age, in an article on
some of the rtvelations made by Detective
Baker, says: 1
But Gen. Baker's relations affect the
living as well as the dead. Decency pre
vents ns from doing more than allude to
the orgies of the Currency Bureau of the
Treasury Department. Here are letters
and affidavits and diaries filled with the
most offensive details. The victims—for
such we regard them—even though will
ing victims—being young girls of eighteen
—and the prominent sinners. Heads of
Bureaux under a model administration,
who are retained in office and once pro
tected by Puritans like Mr. Chase, are
still protected by Mr. McCullocb. The
Treasujy seems to have been little else
than a brothel. Nor was the army free
from taint. Mr, Baker gives us the un
varnished statement of a Massachusetts
young lady, Miss A. J., of Cambridge
(blush shades of Harvard !)
"I was born in Cambridge, Massachu
setts. Am twenty years of age. I have
neither father nor mother,, living. 1 have
two sisters. In the fall of 1862 I went to
the Army of the Potomac, with no definite
object in view. Spent some time at Gen.
S's headquarters near Fairfax Court House.
When Gen. S. was relieved, I joined Gen
eral K's command, and went to the front
as the friend and companion of Geo, C.
Gen. K. became very jealous of General
C's attentions to me, I have spent two
years and a half in the Union army, and
during this time have been the guest of
different officers, they furnishing n?e with
horses, qjderlies, escorts, sentinels at my
tent, and quarter rations. I invariably
wore major's straps. During no part of
the time was I employed as guide, scout
or hospital nurse, but as stated above, a
companion to the various commanding of
ficers, as a private friend and companion."
Certainly a promising young woman
and a fit companion for General S. and
General C. and General K.! "When
wives of siclt soldiers," says Baker, could
not pass over the lines, because of the
standing order that no female should be
allowed, di>reputable women could tele
graph their arrival at Washington; an
order would be the response giving them
a pass, and free transportation to the
designated headquarters of the favored
officers."
iieallv one reads these tilings thus cool
ly narrated with a shudder. Washington
was a perfect Sodom, and one wonders that
the wrath af God did not fall upon it.—
There are many more things in this volume
to which we may hereafter call attention,
if only for the purpose of showing what are
the natural and inevitable growths that
spring from the bloody compost which civ
il war spreads over a land.
?legroe9 vs. Caucasian.
Our attention has been directed to the
following remarkable passage from a let
ter recently delivered by Professor Agas
siz, of Boston. There is nothing new in
the statement that there are radical differ
ences of structure in the various races of
men. Science lias long since settled the
fact that the Caucasian and the Negro are
two species of the human family that are
distinctly and widely separated from each
other. But we did not know that the op
posing characteristics of the white and the
black man were so numerous as they are
said to be by Professor Agasiz. His
statement will be read with interest, and
he speaks with an authority that is seldom
or never disputed either here or it) Europe :
"I have pointed out over a hindred spe
cific differences between the bonal and
nervous system of the white man and the
negro. Indeed, their frames are alike in
no particular There is not a bone in the
negro'* body which is relatively the same
shape, size, articulation, or chemically of
the same composition as that of the white
man. The negroes' bones contain a far
greater per ccntage of calcareous salt than
those of the white man ; even the negro's
blood is chemically a very different fluid
from that which courses in the veins of
the white man. The whole physical or
ganism of the negro differs quite as much
from the while man's as it does from that
of the chitnphanzce, that is, in his bones,
muscles, nerves and fibres. The chim
panzee has not much further to progress to
become a negro than a negro has to be
come a white man. This fact science in
inexorablv demonstrates Climate has no
more to do with the difference between
the negro and the chimpanzee, than it has
between the horse and the or the eagle
and the owl. Each is a distinct and sepa
rate creation. The negro and the white
man were created as different as the owl
and the eagle. They were designed to
fill different plans in the system of natfirc.
The negro is no more a negro by accident
or misfortune than the owl is the kind of
bird he is by accident or misfortune, The
negro is no more the white man's brother
j than the owl is the sister of the eagle, or
the ass is the brother of the horse. llow
stupendous, and yet *how simple is the
doctrine that the Almighty Maker of the
| universe has created inherent species of the
! lower animals to fill the different places
and offices in the grand scenery of nature !"

The Burial Place or Booth*
THE BODY PLACED IN THE OLD PEITEN
TIARY AT WASHINGTON —PART or THE
SPINAL COLUMN KEPT BY A DOCTOR AS
A CURIOSITY.
Gen. L. C. Baker has published a diary,
in which he details his connection with
the 'secret service" of the War Depart
ment during the war. lie makes the fol
lowing statement in regard to the dispo
sition made of the body of John Wilkes
Booth :
"In order to establish the identity of the
body of the assassin beyond all
question, the Secretary of War directed
me to summon a number of witnesses re
siding in the city of Washington, who bad
previously known the murderer.
Some two years previous to the assassi
nation of the President, Booth had a tu
mor or carbuncle cut from his necK by a
surgeon. On inquiry, I found that Dr.
May, a well-kn own and very skillful sur
geon of twenty-five years practice in Wash
ington, had performed the operation.—
Accordingly I called on Dr. May, who,
before seeing the body, minutely described
the exact locality of the tumor, the nature
and date of the operation, etc. After be
ing sworn he pointed to the scar in the
neck which was then plainly visible.
Five olherwitncsses were examined, all
of whom hadknown the assassin intimate
ly for years. The various newspaper ac
counts referring to the mutilation of Booth's
body, are equally absurd. Gen. Barnes,
Surgeon General of the United States Ar
al), was on board the gunboat where the
post-mortem examinationVas held with his
assistants. General.Barnes cutjfrom Booth's
neck about two inches of the spinal col
umn through which the hall had passed ;
this piece of bone, which is now on exhi
bition in the Government Medical Muse
um at Washington, is the only relic of the
assassin's body above ground, and this is
the only mutilation of the remains that
ever occurred.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
examination the Secretary ot War gave
orders as to the disposition of the body,
which had become offensive, owing to the
condition in which it had remained after
death ; tho leg, broken in jumping from
the box to stage, was much discolored and
swollen, the blood from the wound having
saturated his underclothing. With the
assistance of Lieut. L, B. linker, I took
the body from the gunboat direct to the
Old Penitentiary, adjoining the Arkansas
grounds. The building had not been used
as a penitentiary for some vears previously.
The Ordnance Department had filled the
the gronnd floor cells with fixed ammuni
tion—one of these cells was selected as
the burial place of Booth—the ammunition
was removed, a large fiat stone was lifted
from its place and a rude grave dug; the
body was dropped in, the grave filled up,
and there remains to this hour all that re
mained of John Wilkes Booth.
Kentucky. —'l"he official vote of tho
recent Congressional elections in Ken
tucky, as refurned to the office ot the Sec
retary of State, shows that the total vote
of the State i s 113,473

Congressional districts :

9 District, 9,177 7,8c7 865
Total 77,413 31,371 4,689
These returns show a Democratic ma
jority over the Jacobins of 46,04?; a ma
jority of 72,7'24 over the third party; and
a majority of 41,353 over both combined
This "third party," polling the insignifi
cant number of 4,689 votes, was the pow

wbich the Jacobins boasted they would
carry the majority of the Congressional

FRECKLES.—At this season of the year,
many of our lady readers are annoyed with
freckles. They will thank us for a simple
way of removing them, which is to take
powdered saltpetre and apply it to the
parts affected, with the finger moistened
and dipped into the powder. This is the
whole proceeding and when properly
done and judiciously repeated, it will re
move all freckles.
A CANKERED PARTT. — "A long roar
tcith its demoralizing influences, has CON
KERKD THE REPUBLICAN PARTY," SAYS
Thurlow Weed. A cankered—corrupt
rotten —party, is now controlling the des
tinies of this great Republic. Wc do not
wonder that the leaders, such as Sumner,
Wade, Stevens, Kelly, Wilson & Co., are
demanding negro suffrage to preserve their
rotten, cankered, corrupt party from anni
hilation. They admit that without negro
suffrage the white voters will overthrow
and pnt under their feet the party now
governing the country. A thing so rotten
and corrupt calls upon the most debased
Ignorance for support; it cannot with de
cency, call on anything else.
The Marshal Statue.
The following, from a Virginia cotempo
rary, concerning the raising of the bronze
statue of Chief-Justice MARSHALL, fully
comprehends the political situation at the
present time :
We are glad to see you, John Marshall,
my boy,
So fresh from the chisel of Rogers !
Go take your stand on the Monument there
Along with the other old codgers;
With Washington, Jefferson, llenry, and
such,
Who sinned with a great transgression.
In their old fashioned notions of Freedom
and Right.
And their hatri d of Wrong and Oppresion!
You come rather late to your pedestal,
John,
For sooner you should have BEEN here ;
For the volume you hold is no longer
the law,
And this is no longer Virginia.
The old Marshall law you expounded of
yore,
Is not at all to the purpose ;
ylnd the martial law of the new regime
Is stronger than ''habeas corpus."
So keep you the volume shut with care,
For the days of the law are over;
And it needs all your brass to be holding
it there,
With "JUSTICE" inscribed on the cover,
Could life awaken the limb of bronze
And blaze in the burnished eye,
What would ye do with your moment of
life,
Ye men of the days gone by !
Would ye chide us or pity us, blush or
weep.
Ye men of the days gone by ?
Would Jefferson tear up the scroll he
holds,
That time has proven a lie ?
And Marshall shut the volume of law,
And lay it down with a sigh ?
Would Mason roll up the Bill of Rights,
From a race unworthy to scan it ?
And Henrv dash down the eloquent
sword,
And clang it against the granite?
And Washington, seated in massive
strength
On the charger that paws the air,
Could he see his sons in their deep dis
grace,
Would be tide so proudly there ?
He would get down from his big brass
horse,
And cover his face at our shame ;
For the land of his birth is now "District I.'
Virginia was once the name !
Why there is no Money to Pay Bounties
and Beusions.
Scarcely a day passes hut we are asked
the question why the bounties granted by
the Act of July 28th, 18GG, are not paid.
On this point Forney's Press says :
"The Secretary of War will be compell
ed to issue an order suspending the pay
ment of additional or other bounties to sol
diers and their heirs, until some appropri
ation for that pui pose is made by Con-
funds already appropriated be
ing exhausted. As Congress will not in
all probability meet again till December,
the soldiers and their families must make
up their minds to her some further delay.''
The fact is that the Bounty law was
passed soley for political capital, as the
Radicals wanted the soldiers vote in last
(all's elections. The Press states the fact
when it says that Congress did not make
a sufficient appropriation to carry out the
law. lA*t the soldiers remember, however
that while funds enough cannot he appro
priated to their use, tin-re is no difficulty
in finding funds for the millions of ne
groes in the South. The insane policy of
ruling the South by military powers is al
so costing the Government ten millions of
dollars per month and at the same time
crushes out all hope of revenue from that
source, by keeping the Slates in their
present excited and anomalous position.—
Millions of dollars are also squandered,in
Impeachment and Reconstruction Com
mittees, whose only objects are to squan
der money, make political capital for the
Radical party, and keep the Union divid
ed. It is to the interest of every farmer,
merchant, laborer, soldier and bond-holder,
to oust the present profligate and extrava
gant party, and to place men in office who
will legislate fur the good of the whole
country,— Columbian,
Gen. Butler has set the Radical
press at loggerheads by raising the ques
tion of the responsibility of the execution
of Mrs. Surratt. Thus the Boston Com
monwealth says :
"Perhaps it would have been well it
General Butler had not said what he did
of Mrs. Surratt. But there are thousands
of thoughtful people who thir.k he was
right. Mr. Bingham did pursue her like
a bloodhound."
To which the Springfield (Mass.) Re
pnblicun responds:
"Not at all. If there were any blood
hounds in the hunt, they were Stanton
and llolt; set on, too, we fear, by many
Northern people and papers, of which lat
ter, too, we suspect the Commonwealth
was one."
This is not the first time that men
equally guilty have turned State's evi
dence against each other.
ADMIRAL SKMMES COMPLIMENTS YANKEE
SHIPBUILDING. —The following is an ex
tract from Admiral Scnunes lecture on the
exploits of the Alabama :
When we were afloat in the Alabama if
we were in doubt as to the nationality of
any ship we were pursuing, we had only to
take a look at her, at whatever distance she
might be, through our teliscope, to deter
mine at once whether she was a Yankee or
not, lif she excelled the ships of all other
nations in the symmetry of her hull, the
grace and the taper of her spars; if her
canvass was whiter, her sails larger, more
beautiful set and "sheeted home," and hois
ted in a more seamanlike manner, if, in
short, like a beautiful woman, she ravished
the beholder as well by the swelling and
gracefull outlines of her figure as by the
witchery of her drapery, we were always
sure she was a Yankee.
Deserted Wives aud Children.
k
The following law palsed at tho last
session of oar Legislature, will be found
important to that class of women, called
"grass widows." [The name must have its
origin in the fact that their truant hus
bands, go in for a change of pasture ; or
like Belsliazzar of old have gone to grass]
AN ACT for the relief of wives and children, de
serted by their husbands and fathers, within this
Commonwealth.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted, &c., That in
addition to the remedies now provided by
law, if any husband, or father, being with

or hereafter shall, separate himself from
his wife, or from his children, or from wife

shall neglect to maintain his wife, or chil
dren, it shall be lawful for any alderman,
justice of the peace, of magistrate, of this
commonwealth, upon information made
before him under oath, or affirmation, by
his wife, or children, or either of them, or
by any other person, or persons, to issue
his warrant to the sheriff, or to any con
stable, for the arrest of the person against
whom the information shall be made, as
aforesaid, and bind him over, with one
sufficient surety, to appear at the next
term of quarter sessions, there to answer
the said charge of desertion.
SEC. 2. The information, proceedings

not exceeding one hundred dollars per
month, and to commit such persons to the

arrested thereon, by the said warrant be
ing backed by any alderman, or justice of
the peace, of the country in which such
person may be found,"as is now provided
for backing warrants, by the third section
of the act of the thirty first of March, one

IMPEACHMENT,
The Impeachment Committee have ad
journed. Five to four of the Committe re
solved that there are no grounds for hn
peachm ent. The people of the United
States long since resolved Jive to four, that
the Committee was a miserable humbug.
The Committee, however resolved to cen
sure the President. Before long the Com
mittee will fiud out who are the most cen
sured.
We presume this settles the question.
The Committee consisted of seven, and
were divided as follows —for Impeachment
Messrs Bontwell, Lawrence, Thomas, Wil
liams. Against —Messrs Wilson, chairman,
Churchill, Eldrigc, Marshall, Woodbridgc.
The investigation lias covered the Pres
ident's private bank account, his clothes
and washing bills, and the cooks and scul
lions of the White house have been exam
ined for evidence as to what and how much
the President ate and drank. And it all
sums up in a formal announcement by
Boutwell and Carapany that the President
is "unworthy of confidence." Whether this
is intended as a warning to the President's
banker, or his tailor, or his washerwoman,
does not appear, but it unquestionably
means that he is unworthy of the confidence
of BOUTWELL, ASHLEY, BUTLER, and similar
iuipeachers, and if he were worthy of such
confidence, there might be reason, as some
of the Radicals now propose, for reviving
the project so as to render impeachment
probable, if not certain.
It is a contemptible conclusion of a most
contemptible atl'air. If these investigators,
who have penetrated pantries and searched
the very sewers for evidence against the
President, can find nothing beyond a war
rent for the general statement that he is
"unworthy of the confidence"' of BOUTWELL
and BUTLER, the public will come to the
conclusion that the impeachment party,
which promised to prove that the presi
dent was a conspirator in the assassination,
and was guilty of other crimes, and which
fails to find, after earnest search, testimony
enough to convict him of drinking Bourbon
is worthy of as little confidence as BOUT
WELL and Company award to.Mr. Johnson,
These men have infamously trifled with
the people, and now they propose to add
insult to injury by publishing, at public
expense, a report embracing the mass of
trash and filth they have collected, in the
shape of "evidence."— Jeffcrsonian,
"Beecher is taking sides with Greeley.
He saya be honors the philosopher of the
Tribune for his conduct in sign

Beecher has| no idea of being classed

The Supreme Court has decided
the Act unconstitutional which created a
