tax, at the present time, cannot but
prove disastrous to landholders. Oui
agricultural community have been al
but ruined by the disastrous war
which has just ended, and n majority
of them are actually unable to raise
the ihnds necessary to liquidate the
Government claims «gainst them,
and in our opinion nothing but ruta
nnd disaster can follow the enforce
meiit o i the orders. We sincerely
hope that the tax will be, fojr a time
suspended—AT. O. TqicDdta.

All those mentioned remained with
lief several flours, her daughter be-
ing the last to leave. To all she de-
clared herself innocent. Next morn,
ing the above mentioned persoos,
together with Mr. John T. Holohan
and it niece of * Mrs, Snrratt were
prestirt. • Her daughter remained at
the* WbitO"'House nearly all the
afternoon, in hopes of getting a. re

in tlii«, she went , sorrowfully an<
heart-broken to take leave of her,
mother.
The parting of «other and daugh
ter was agonizing in the extreme.
M. Holohan next -took leave, and
after him, Mr. Brophy bade her
adieu. On the scaffold she said to
her spiritual attendants, "Shall I say

tdo you wish to say Mrs.
Surratt 7" She replied; «I wish to
say to the people that I am innocent.''
Father Walter told her* it would be
useless to do so now. She said
"I am innocent; but God's holy wil Í
be done! ■ ■

Saint Bmionuf.—The Hartford
Conm) Press pnblisbes the following
extract from tíi¡e Fourth of Jnly
preachment df Parson Beecber:
, "We nro goipg to Ii*v« religion
and a true (iospel down South. They
have had a false Gospel—one that
took with the strong against the
weak. Now we will have a pure
Gospel—one that begins vfith fove to'
God and love to toan. You may
send your wares and merchandise
do\Pn there, but yon can't send your
religion. Fact1 Is, you chn't spare it
Trom home. It is nrit ap article of
export. It is a plant of slow growth.
You can't go do ton South and let
out civilization by the job, and in-
telligence by the contract. It will
take time. Th? miH will , griud out
some flour by. and by. The whites
down there, bo lazy, must learn to
work. They won't Stir till kicked
by hunger. I have seen them in
Charleston, where I couW not have
walked ten years ago. I think the
question is, what will become of the
whites I The blacks are kings anc
prince^, compared ; with the white
trash. I don'tknow what they wil l
do ; the best thing for most of them
to do, ii to die. I hope they will
stand some chance in the next world
—they Lav n't the ghost of a chance
jn this." V , I

—So many contradictory and false
acocunts-.have been published con-
cerning Mrs. Surratt's last moments
that we Tee I compelled to furnish the

On Thursday afternoon, Father
Wiget saw her at 4:25 o'clock, and
five minute later Mr. John P.

Some 88.000 or 89000 in
were recovered frOin the i)ro!«>n safeBr
after the robbery, which the burglars
failed to carry off. It Is said there is
a further amount ojfc 82,000 in the
vault, so that the spiv i e loss amounts
to about 16 or 19 thousand dollars.
The vaiilt of the Treasury will have
to be broken open as tho keys of the
same were deposited in one of the1
safes, and it is supj o^d that
were carried off wii h the other con-
tents. Until tlie vanlt is opened and
the e:
loss' cannot be known.
We deem it not improper to men-
tion that an efficient guard is constant-
ly kept up for the purpose of pre*
venting a second descent upon the
Treasury. Capt. Freeman ia in
charge of the guard ; and he deBerv««s
tho thanks of all good men for his
efforts for tho public safety. The,
guard were employed by the
urer and Comptroller, ut f sti]
pay, and are in no way com
