THB LAST CHAPTER OF CONOVER.
We still continue to give our readers
ome of the villauics of this disgraceful
tradgedy. They will, of course, some
day become matter for tliat history
Wrdi Mr. Lincoln truly said we were
mating, if they have not already bp
come so. We have had the first and
second acts in this great drama the
first in the .assignation of Mr. Lincoln
the second in the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt and the curtain is now about
being raised for the third and. last act,
in which the dark mystery iUl be fully
disclosed.
The following is from the Philadel.
phia Age, whic'h paper has from time to
time published disconnected chapters of
the "great tragedy."
Our readers will not tire of the
ludeous details of this case. It has
not, we are aware, the picturesque in
terest of the Surratt trial, for there is
no clanking of fetters and no half,
fstifled woman to bo immolated. The
lierocs of Lynchburg and the Monocacy
are not there in full uniform. It is a
mere pitiful perjury hi a common eourt,
but still it is full of interest as showing
the tools despotism is not ashamed to
use nd -how they sometimes break in
its hands. We left Conover dumbfoun
ded before the Judiciary Committee,
and a sad, dispirited committee it iras
on that May day afternoon. They
were disappointed. They were petu
lant. " WbyJ" said General Thomas to
Conovcr, " why do you say you have
" no statement to make ? You have heard
" how this witness contradicts ycu."
And the dogged answer was : " I have
" do -explanation whatever to make, be
" cause I do not see that any would help
" the ease."
And yet, to their shamejbe it spoken,
this Judiciary Committee, composed of
ex-governors, and judges, and lawyers
of high pretension, had not, we wont
say, the generosity but the decency to
report this patent perjury to the House
and the country, trot gloicd it over with
wretdhed equivocation. They could not
crew up their conrage to say what
they knew in their hearts that Holt was
willingly misled, Conover perjured, and,
on the evidence 'before them, Jefferson
Davis was as'itinoccnt of the murder of
Abraham Lincoln as ho was of the Gun.
.powder Plot. They mildly and meanly
said :
When the committee entered upon this
investigation in Aprillnst, the evidence in
the War Department, if accepted at true,
was conclusive as to the guilt of Jefferson
Davis.
Tho Judge Advocate General had taken
the affidavits of several persons who pro
cessed to have been in t lie service of the
rebel government, and who had been
present at an interview betweca Surratt
nnd Davis and Benjamin.
Those affidavits were taken by the Judge
Advocate Gencarl in good faith, and in
full belief that the aftiants wore stating
that only which was true.
The itatcments made by theso witnesses
harmonized in every important prtaicular
with facts derived from documents and
other trustworthy sources. The committee,
however, thought it .wise to see and ex
amine some of .the persons whose affidavits
had been taken by Judge Holt. Several of
the witnesses when brought before the
committee retracted entirely the stat ements
which they had made in their affidavits,
and declared that their testimony at given
e riyinally mat faltt in every particular.
Tbey failed, however, to state to the
committee any inducement or considera
tion which seemed to the committee a
reasonable explanation for tie course
they had pursued ; and the committee are
not at this time able to say, as the result of
the investigations they havomude, whether
h original statements ot these witnesses
e true r false.
But for the promptitude and ability
displayod toy Mr. Rogers, of New Jer
scy, in his minority report, the world
would have known nothing of this enor
mity, and the iccord of these conglome
rate perjuries would have been stowed
away along with Booth's diary, in the
darkest archives of the Bureau of Mili.
tary Justice, perhaps annotated by " dear
Lieber," Were we at all disposed to
levity on such a subject, wo miht af
ford to smile at the spasmodic efforts of
Mr. Boutwell, ot Massachusetts, to dis.
credit the iccreant wituesses of the gov
crnment by such questions as he ad
dressed to them and repeated several
times. Snevcl is asked by Boutivcll :
Q. Are you acquainted with ony person
in New York, resident or otherwise who
sympathized with the rebellion 1
A. No, sir.
Q. Did yoa ever vitit ilit New York Hotel t
A. No, sir.
And to Campbell it is tims put :
Q. Arc you acquainted at the New Turk
Hotel in New York City ?
A. No, sir.
Q. Have you ritited at that Hotel during
theproprress of the wr ' any tune;
A. No, sir ; I never was inside of it,
to my recollection.
That Mr. Cranston's generous hospi
tality has been more thau ouce abused
during the lust five or sis years we do
not at all doubt, but we question very
much whuthcr persons so disreputable
as Holt witnesses ever, in any disguise
pet foot in" under his roof. Such folks
would b as litt'e at home in that re.
fined anil tolerant society as would Gov.
ernnr Boutwell himself.
If tho Republican Judbiary Commit
tee doubted whether Stanford Conovcr
committed perjury, a Republican court
and jury in the District of Colnmbia did
not, but without - difficulty convicted
him on the corroborutivo testimony of
Campbell and Snevel the only witness
produced tor the defense being Joseph
Holt, and he being careful, in vkw of
all th.it had happened, to say as liti'.c ai
possible. As the prisoner Conovcr arid
the witness Holt stood in each other's
presence in that court of Justice, varied
thoughts and memories must have
floated across the minds of each. The
memory . of the days, not very
long past, when the prisouw - was lie
pet relied on for everything, employed
everywhere endorsed by Bingham,
praised by Stanton, introduced at the
White House sent traveling ly the
War Department : " 1 visited," sajd
Conover to the committee, " a number of
" places. last .wiotsr in the service of tho
" Bureau iu Virginia, North Carolina,
" South Carolina, Louisiana and Canada,
" To give them all would make a long
" list and I would hardly bo ablo to do it
"without my notes." His notes ! Per.
haps, like Booth, he kept a diary I And
then he and his employe, onco so inti
mate, though separated by a wido gulf
now,iti)ay have thought of the 25th of
November, 1865, and tho affidavits im
plicating Jefferson Davis, a distant and
uclplcss prisoner or their minds, by a
common instinct, may have gone further
back to scenes ot epaulcttedjjustiee, aid
Conover in another witness stand at the
Arsenal or to the end of it all, the 7th
of July, 1865, when, in the company of
brutal assassians and ruffians, for such
were Payno and Azcrot, a wow.au, for
whom at the threshold of the house
where Campbell was afterwards a
visitor, and when then it is said Preston
King was on guard, a .daughter inter-
needed in vain, was hung to oVeat li
lt was on the twal of Conover that a
curious incident occured, eoufir-niat-ory
of the truthfulness of the witness who
fixed the perjury on Conover, and whom
it was the interest of the government, if
possible to discredit. Campbell swore
positively that, when he vtwie his Affi
davit at the War Department. Holt not
only wrote it down, but accompanied the
witness to the Justice to have the jurat
fixed. Campbell testified thus :
Q. Wlicreduccd this to writing t
A. Judge Holt..
0. Were you sworn before you made
this statement.?
A. No. sir.
Q. What was done after you made your
statement ?
A. We went to a Notary Pub lie on F
street.
Q. Who went with you ?
A. Judge Holt.
Holt, when esaminod for his friend..
the prisoner, said :
Q Did you accompany Campbell before
the Justice or Notary Poblic ?
A. 1 didnot.
Q. Who went with him before tho No
tary ?
A. I no not remember. My habit is to
send with witnesses the Chief Clerk of the
Bureau Whether in this instance he ac
companied him or not, I -do not know
The deposition was brought back to me
certified, as you see
Now hero was a positive and fatal
contradiction by a high official or an
humble any degraded roan like Camp,
bell which would probably have so dis
credited him as to acquit Conover. But
belore the day was over, it turned out
that Campbell, after all, was right and
Holt wrong, for wo read in the notes of
the trial ;
The Hon Joseph Holt, recalled I simply
desire if the Court please to lie strictly ac
curate upon a point, of foot This morning
when I was asked in regard to Campbell s
deposition, I did not refer to it, but said it
had been sworn to before a Notary in
Winder's building and thut I did not ac
company t lie witness Un looking ai. tuo
deposition I find that it was taken as Camp
bell states and I have an impression that I
did accompany a witness aooirt that ttme
defore a Notary, and if I did' so, it must
havo been Campbell I felt, it due to Mr
Campbell to make this statement
All this, however, was relatively im
material, for on the full testimony of
corroborated accomplices Sanford Con
ovcr was convicted of perjury in this :
That all he swore on the trial of Mrs.
Surratt was false, and that everything bo
supplied Holt with, and testified before
the Judiciary Com mittee, was false too.
And, a new trial having been refused,
he now awaits sentence. Why that sen.
tence is not pronounced, it is not for us
to conjecture. We have done a plain
and a painful duty in stating these
frightful facts to the public.
Tho Emperor of Franco would doubt
less much prefer that peace should con
tinue in Europo until after the "Exposi
tion. He has expended millions in
preparations for that event, and ali this
would be wasted if war should 'break
out during the coming three months.
Napoleon also expects to gain ' much in
a diplonnt'c point- of view by attentions
to and intercourse with tho representa
tives ot all tho leadtng European na
tions who will be present at this grand
srathering of the world to tho capital ol
Prance In the art of sounding the
motives of men and influencing their ac
tions, Napolioi is an adept. In this
lino he is gifted like his august uncle.
The Exposition, with its files, balls, re
ceptions, parades, shows, state diuners
and private interviews, offers a wide
field for diplomatic action, and tho Em
peror will make some sacrifices in order
to harvest thut field iu peace.

" ' For the Advocate '
Mr. Etlitor : The answer to my
question. " How to combine finite fnc
tors so as to produoa infinity ? ", wliioh
is given in to day's paper, is nolHtisQicV
tory. In tho first rduee I mu net satis
fied as to the (Correctness of V.i mrthwlA
I have a dim recollcc'ion of " Double
Position " in the Arithmetic there tens
a rule by that name j but I never could
quite understand that multiplying cr.ort
is a safe way to search after truth. Let
us have a solution by Algebra.- If it is
more difficult, it may be more reliable.
But a moro serious objection to the
answer is this : It does not satisfy the
conditions of the problem. A The qucs
t:on is, " How to combine finite factors,
iVc," but your correspondent unwitting,
ly introduces an infinite factor no mat
ter whether infinitely great or infinitely
small. Now, if the intelligence or vir.
ue of legislatures becomes Zrro, then
ol -ce-arse the result would be infinite
Or if -there should be any doubt that
intelligence or .virtue, in the case sup.
posed, would become really infinitesimal,
yet we havs an infinite factor neverthe.
less ; lor it is beyond all question that
filling our legislative halls with such
men as Timd Stevens would be infinite
error.
The problem therefore remains un
solved, and I hope it will receive that
degree of attention which its important
practical bearings seem to me to require.

QUE. STARCH GLOSS, .
Is the only article used by first class hotel
Laundries, and thousands of families. It
gives a beautiful polish, making the iron
pass smoothly over the cloth, saving much
lime and labor- Goods done up with it keep
clean much longer, consequently will not
wear out so soon- It makes old linen look
like new.
OUR IMPERIAL BLUE
is the best n the world. It is soluble In
hard as well as soft water. It is put up in
the safest, neatest, and most convenient
form of any offered to the public It U
warranted not to streak the clothes. Agents
wanted everywhere, to whom we offer ex
traordinary inducements, Address,
