The people havo been forbearing
and long..suflering toward the men
now in power. They have given them
a fair trial, but have found them
utterly unfit to mai.age the affairs of
this nation. The masses love the
Union, and do not desire to sec the Con
stitution destroyed and the form of free
government bequeathed to them by
their fathers overturned. They sec the
teddeney of the wild and impracticable
schemes of the Radical loaders. Men
cf political sagacity arc alarmed at the
recklessness displayed by Congress ; the
.capitalists of the country see that finan.
cial ruin will be the legitimate fruit of
their legislation ; the holders of Govern

know that their investments can only
be safe under a stable and equitable ad
ministration of the Government; busi

glorious end, now not far distant. We
have no doubt that Radicalism will be

be to lose faith in man's capacity for

of the republic. The people have re

CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY NO. 3.
God is infinitely mo.it : He is also in.
finitely goud, lie knows till things
knows how to adapt means to ends ; and
flo chooses tho noblest and beat ends,
lie can do all lliinga, but will do doth,
iitg wrong. God possesses nil Mmmper
feetion. He is 'benevolent, holy, just
and true, and manifests these attributes
in the providential government of tho
world. All that God doe, therefore,
and all that He tay He will do, is
riiht, whether we can see the reasons of
his procedure or not. This statement,
in tho abstract, no one will question ;
yet too many are ready to say " such and
such things are not right" things
which God obviously docs or says, ho
will do in His Word. But it will not
do to admit that God is just, and then
quesiion tho justice of His dealings ; to
accept the Uible as God's word, and rc
fuse to accept any of its teachings.
If any one should have a doubt on
the subject, he may And abundant proof
that God is just and holy, as well as be
ncvolent, both in Ilis works and in II is
word. Rut we need cot stay to prove
what no reader will deny, and so, bid
ding the reader remember that God is
good, and that the Rible is His word,
let ws proceed to consider the doctrine
of )ivino riovideuco.
As God is Almighty lie ran do what
ever He pleases with the works of His
own hand. Tho same power that creat
cd can destroy, or sustain in being and
control at pleasure. Thus : If lie
ph nxes, the Creator can cause the sun to
stand still ; eaus,o the iron to swim on
water, or the waters of tho sea to stand
upright on a heap. All tho laws of
Nature are at His command ; all the
creatures are subject to Ilis will;, and
He can, at any aud at all times, do
whatever ho pleases with the least as
well as the greatest of created things.
All the circumstances of every human
being are entirely under his control
whether he does actually order them or
not so that in a moment, with iufiiotte
ease, God could reverse the conditions of
the king and tne beggar, or cnect any
other change that ho pleased.
Now ; if thcro is a being w'Uo has a
perfect knowledge of our circumstances,
character and conduct, even to the
deepest thoughts of our hearts, and
who can affect us foi good or evil to any
extent, is it not tho duty as well as in
terest of every man to become acquaint
od with that Being --to learn what ho
can of God, and how to secure His favor?
Acquaint now thyself with Him, and
be at pcaeo : thereby, good .snail come
unto thee." Job, 22, 21. C. C.

know how to combine finite factors as to

Take Warni.no. Rad boys make
bad men. Habits formed in youth grow
stronger as we grow older, liow im
portant then that boys acquire habits
that will make them respected and es
teemed when they grow up to be men.
A good character is requisite to enable
a boy to get a situatiou or succeed in any
respectable business. Parents cannot
bo too careful of their children partic
ularly boys in reference to tho kiud of
company they keep, and iu what way
they spend their vpure timo. In no
case should they bo allowed to bo from
home at night, unless Accompanied ty a
parent or some tuitable person. These
remarks aio occasioned by facts that
have recently come to our knowledge
relating to the bad behavior of a number
of bovs iu our town some of them not
more than 10 or 12 years of age. Drink,
iug thieving, quarreling and all kinds
or rowdy conduct is becoming too com
mon to longer escape publio notice
ere these things to occur in a city or
larger town, theso boys' names would
be published, and they perhaps locked

guid for them and their friends to name
them, but feel it u duty to caution them
and their parents, and all others against
such evil practices, aud trust that our
rising generation will grow up to bo re
spectable and useful citizcus, and be a
credit and honor to tluir parents and
friends, and hope none of thein will be

TEE fcTOBT 07 BAKFOHb CONOTEH !
Whau in Revolutionary story a gal
lant man was sentenced to die, he beg
ged to be shot, os a mode of hunorablo
death. He had committed uo moral
wrong was no thief, or perjurer, or
murderer. Ilis prayer was rejected,
and he died upon the gallows. John
Wilkes Booth, who was a murderer,
who shot an unsuspecting, merry making
man as it w.cra lroru an aqibush, bad
tho privilege which was denied to
Andre, and was shot to death, and his
last woids of affection to his mother and
devotion to his country were duly chron
icled and embalmed. Rut if he was not
hung, or chained, or tortured, Mary E.
Surratt was. Muffled, and manacled,
and perhaps unconscious, she, the
Maryland mother of a broken-hearted
daughter perished on a gibbet, and
her body resta in the uneonstcratcd
soil of a prison yard. One of the wit
nesses on whose testimony she was put
to death ly lloR, and Stanton, and
Hunter, aud Wallace, was Sanford
Conover, now a convict of perjury for
tho very testimony gave. We propo?e
from authentic materials to tell the
story of Stanford Conover, and we beg
for it tho attention of our readers. It
is worth it.
It is not easy to find Conovcr's origin
but the first fact we, know of him is that
before tho Lincoln murder, he says, he
was in Canada, a correspondent of the
New 'York Tribune. ' As soon," snys
he, " as tho investigation took place, I
camo ou to Washington and offered
tngseff as a u-itncts." And be was wel
comed and taken into pay, and as we
have said examined on the trial of Mrs.
Surratt, and proved everything as. to Tho
complicity of the Confederate authorites
that his employers desired, and was kept
in their pay alterwards. Hanging Mis.
Surratt Was not enough. That was easi
ly .managed. But implicating thorough
ly tho Confederate leaders iu the deed of
blood was more difficult, and so, in the
summer and autumn of 18G2, Conover,
under tho auspices of the Bureau of
Military Justice, went to work to cook
up some corrooorauve testimony, 10
enlist tonic moro Witnesses.
" I want to ask you," said tho Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee, " in what ca
pacity you were acting when you discov
ered the other witnesses you havo namod
to the committee this morning ? "
Answer. I was acting as auent for the
Bureau of Military Justice.
Question. You wore employed, then, by
tho government for tho purposo ?
A. Yes.
Q. What was the occasion of tho em
ployment of your services by tho govern
ment? A. The information that I gave to
Judge Holt that I knew all theso witnes
ses. The. summer ot 18G5 was an active
tirav with Mr. Conover and the Bureau.
He Wfis -an energetic agent, and before
the 1st of November he had the witnes
ses all ready, drilled, and oa the ground.
The principal ones were two men call
ing themselves Campbell and Suevel.
They were taken to Judge Holt, and
on the 5th of November, 18(55, Con
gress then about to meet and an invesii.
gation impending, their affidavits were
made, Campbell's being taken down by
Judge Holt himself, he the Judge, so
zealous was he in the cause actually ac
companying the witnesses to the magis
trate, Mr. Caustiu, to see that the work
was properly done and when the am.
davit was made, Campbell was taken to
the White House aud iutioduced to tho
President and Mr. Seward and Mr.
Stanton.
" Was tki deposition," nskod tho com
mittee. " written out by Juugo Holt pre
cisely ns you gnvo it to hiw uu tho occa
sion of its being taKcn T
A. Yes.'
Q. Whero was it taken ?
A. In Judge Holts office.
Q. Did you go with Judgo Holt to the
President after this deposition wns taken t
and was it read over to tho President in
your hearing and did you assent to it ?
A. l es, sir.
Q. Were 3-ou interrogated bv the Presi
dent and Mr. Seward on that occasion ?
A. Yes.
And again he was asked :
How much did you Teccivo after making
tins alhuavit 7
A. 1 think altogether for expenses $025
S-l(M) ii-oin Mr. Conover and the balance
from Judge Holt.
Now, this affidavit is a most remark.
able and startling production the lead
iug points being that Campbell had
been in the Confederate service knew
John H. Surratt intimately, was with
him in Richmond a short time before
the Lincoln murder, and was present
when Mr. Davis and Mr. Benjamin au
thorized anJ advise! and instigated the
assassination of the President, Vice
President, the Cabinet and General
Grant. " As we were about to lea"e
(and we can imagine with what delight
llolt wroto down the precious words),
Mr. Davis shook our hands kindly and
said he hoped we would act bravely and
succeed, adding that there had been so
many attempts at this thing which had
failed that he had not much confidence
in them." We wish we had room for
this affidavit as well as Sncvel's, but the
points aro fairly given. Such was the
cherished testimony of tho Bureau of
Militnry Justice I
Now for the sequel. It is almost in.
credible and yet it is literally true.
On or about the 8th of May, 18C6,
Campbell this same man whom Holt
had clutched and embtaced aud intro.
duced to the President and whom Sew
ard had interrogated appeared before
tho Judiciury Committee of the House
of Representatives all Radicals but
one and thus its reoord speaks :
Q. Was the deposition made by you be
fore Judge Holt true or false (in Nov. 18.
05) ? .
A. False.
Q. Have you ever been iu Richmond!
A. No.
Q. Do you know John Surratt !
A. No, sir.
Q. PMyou ever see Jefferson Davis ?
A. No, sir.
Q. Wcro you ever in the Confederate ser
vice T
A. No.
Q. Did you ever see Judali P. Benjamin t
A. No, sir..
And so on to tho end tho witness tes.
tifying, and the othors confirmed it,
that the November affidavits were fabri.
cnted by Conover at a meeting at tho
National Hotel in Washington In Octo
ber, 1865 written out and committed
to memory, tho original sketch in Cooo
ver's writing being in the possession of
the witness and by him given, on his
confession, to the government.
Now, hare at the end of this dark
chapter we pause, leaving to our read,
ers this food for meditation, and mean
ing from time to time, to continue it - to
the bitter end. We have exposed per
jury and subornation enough for to-day.
Tho story increases in interest as it goes
on. PhWa Afie.
