liRAlH)lfARTBBS, THUS MILITARY DISTRICT, )
(OaonaiA, Alabama and Florida.) v
Atlanta, Qa., August 12, 1867. 1
General Orders, No. 40.
I. The Commanding General has become sat
isfied that the civil officers in this military dis
trict are only observing hia order prohibiting
them from ** using any influence to deter or dis
suade the people from reconstructing ther State
governments under the recent acts of Congress,”
no far as their own personal conversation is con-
corned, and are at the same time, by their offi
cial patronage, supporting and encouraging
newspapers which are, almost without excep
tion, opposing reconstruction, and obstructing
and embarrassing civil officers appointed by the
military district in the performance of their du
ties by denunciation and threats of future penal
ties for their official acts.
II. Such use of the patronage of their offices
is Bimply an evasion (perhaps unintentional) of
the provisions ot the General Order above re
ferred to, and is, in tact, an employment of the
machinery of Uie provisional State governments
to deteat the execution of the reconstruction
acts.
Ifl. Hit therefore ordered, That all advertise
ments or other official publications heretofore, or
to be hereafter provided for by State of munici
pal laws or ordinances, be given by the proper
civil officers whose duty it is to have such publi
cation to be mode, to such newspapers and such
only as have not opposed and do not oppose re
construction under the acts of Congress, nor at
tempt to obstruct in any manner, the civil offi
cers appoiuted by the military authorities in this
district, in the discharge ol their duty by threats
ot violence or prosecution or other penalty as
soon aa the military protection is withdrawn for
acts performed in thesr official capacity.
IV. All officers in this military district, and
all officers of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and all
Boards ot Registration, or other persons in the
employment of the United States under its mili-
larv jurisdiction, are directed to give prompt at
tention to the enforcement of this order, and to
make immediate report to these Headquarters, of
any civil officer who violates its provisions. By
command of Brevet Major General Pope.

Th* Cotton Supply.
According^ the Cincinnati Journal of Com-
yiieroe the stock,qf cotton on hand, in quantity
t v pd quality, “baa ,aever touched so low a point
•U ibis season of the year as a crop was com
mence^ here.” The present stock, that paper
estimates at “only eighty-flight thousand bales,
against ssyei) liuudred aud titty thousand bales
at this time last year.” If this be a correct re
port of the slock on hand, it is reasonable to sup
pose that the present gtowiug crop, when it
comes upon the market, will open at a high fig
ure. Ueofgia and Alabama will doubtless be
the largest producing States ot the great staple
tlie present year, as, from all accounts, failure
has attended the usual production of cotton,
from many causes, in the States of Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. In the latter
State the ravages of the cotton or boll worm is
reported to be great Since the first appearance
of this destructive insect, it has been slowly but
surely progressing—the first generation being
uow succeeded by the secoud, which is destroy
ing a H before it This witii the heavy rains that
preceded the appearance of the worm, has al
most literally destroyed the crop in many sec
tions ol that State.
form and elegance, should even surpass those in
use between Baltimore and this point This be
ing my first view of North Georgia since the
■war, I was struck with the rapidity with which
the plough share of peace is furrowing the war
scars so prominent on the face of that section.—
It is to be hoped that in a few years the land
marks of that unhappy strife will have been ob
literated. This would tend in a measure to erase
the bitter memories of the past
From Georgia, passing into Tennessee, iortu-
nalely for us, as if to screen her dishonored pre
sence from our sight, the shades of night crept
gently over that beautiful but hapless land. We
could lint exclaim, “ how long, O God, shall she
thus groan under this terrible yoke ?” No peo
ple were ever less worthy of such misrule, and
still it lias exacted of them by lorce and fraud a
new lease of its infamous power. Here at the
North, the conservative Republicans openly dis
approve of the means by which Brownlow was
re elected, and denounce the late election in Ten
nessee as a “ miserable farce.” This “ farce.”
however, instead of concluding is but tlie pre
lude to Uie general play now just begun ; and it
is seriously questioned whether the South had
not best give the extremists full rope with which
the sooner to hang themselves.
From Atlanta to New York tlie whole earth,
wherever cultivated, is blest with the fulness of
the Lord. We should feel grateful for His mind
fulness. Our need was very great, but He has
supplied our every want. The South was bread
less and moneyless, yet He heard her cry, and
caused the earth to yield its richest fruitage to
the husbandman. “How good is God!” we
should exclaim in the midst of our afflictions.
Wc Americans delight in bumbuging our
selves. How very picturesque and beautiful is
the scenery of Tennessee and Virginia! Na
lure did much for those sections. She gave
them mountains of which the Switzer might
boast—valleys unsurpassed in productiveness—
slopes every inch of which is adapted to the
vine—streams as pure as crystal iu every vale—
ami a climate instinct with life and health.—
With all these accessible to us, we would hasten
from them—without ever viewing them, we sigh
for imaginary rhapsodies in the mountain land
of William Tell, as if our own did not surpass
all others in the world.
I must not forget our bumper ride. If you
have never had such an one. dear reader, I ad
vise you to avail yourself of the first opportu
nity. It is a chance too good to be lost. At the
solicitation of Mr. Horton, the gentlemanly con
ductor on the Virginia and Tennessee line, and
Mr. Montague, of Lynchburg—a true type of the
Virginian—Major W , bis son Johnny, and
myself, aa we approached the summit of the
Blue Ridge, concluded to try the novel experi
ment. At first I was rather averse. With but
one life, however valueless, I did not care to
hazard it. But my friend Major W , taking
tue by the arm, would listen to no excuse. So
the next moment I feund myself seated on iLe
bumper, between Mr. Horton and Mr. Montague,
with Major W and Johnny seated on the
ougine. At once discovering our vantage
ground, the Major and Johnny came down and
seated themselves alongside of us, each of the
party perfectly delighted with the prospect in
view. Filled with lorebodings of death, and
invisible tunnels through which we were so
soon to pass, the whistle blew and off dashed
the train at full speed. We had not more than
started when a rabbit sped across the track.—
With a relic of the old superstition still linger
ing, and unable to secure tlie saving clause iu
the usual cross, 1 took it to heart as au evil
omen, not kuowiug how soon we should be
dashed to pieces in some narrow cut, or against
some merciless stone. As luck would have it,
in the midst ot my evil premonitions, a little
bird, frightened by the sudden approach of the
train, in its fearful effort to surpass our speed,
fell a victim to my rutbloss grasp. Thinking at
once that it might appease the wrath of the
rabbit divinity, with a god-speed I gave the
little bird a gentle toss iu upper air, and bade
it go revel in the lreedom of its heaven-appointed
wings.
The “ bumper ride,” after au experience ol 25
miles, I unhesitatingly recommend to the pleas
ure seeker and invalid. Whilst inhaling with
every breath the pure oxygen of a lung-expand
ing breeze, you are free of the dust, smoke, and
cinders, filling eyes, nose, and ears ot the luck
less victims in the rear. I had never been able
before, to appreciate the remark of N. P. Willis,
in comparing the strength of the current against
bis hair like that of a giant seeking to pull him
back, on a similar occasion.
On my first visit North since the close of the
war, I was scarcely prepared to realize the dull
ness and langor so apparent everywhere. True,
the crops are very fine, and the high state of cul
ture, the preservation of house and home is in
striking contrast with the desolated South ; and
yet the whole country looks as dumb as if strick
en of sudden paralysis. This is owing, veiy
largely, to the impoverished condition of the
South. The problem is now demonstrated be
yond -a doubt, that the prosperity of tlie South
was the great source of wealth to the North.
Lynchburg is dead, because her tobacco fac
tors etui not afford to pay lorty cents per
pound, for the privilege of manufacturing
the leading staple of Virginia. WashiDgton city,
in a business view, rests like a Sabbath day.
Pardon the comparison. I did not intend to be
sacriligious. She is stupid, perhaps, because of
her late aud repeated orgies in infamy and cor
ruption. The shadow ot lawless deeds enacted
within her capitol walls hovers around, like the
pallid ghost of a nation’s murdered liberties.
How many loyal hearts that once looked with
delight upon their country’s capital, now pass it
with contempt! The Washington monument,
begun uear fifteen years ago, with unfinished
proportions still overlooks the Potomac. I could
but thiuk how appropriate tor It to thus remain,
so long as the prevailing seutiment rules in the
country.
“God bless the people and city of Baltimore,”
we could but say, as we glauced hurriedly over
its beautiful proportions, with a thought ot the
many thousand noble hearts pulsating with the
"music of humanity,” within its time-honored
walls.

intimate that I have retracted it It will puzzle
a more expert "carin fonnularum" than your
self, 1 fear, to show wherein. What was that
sentence ?
“Next to a usurpation of power, there is no
higher grade of political crime than a timid
abandonment of rights.” Standing alone, what
does this mean ? What every other aphorism
means: nothing, or a volume according to stand
jxiiut of tlie reader. The true interpreter is the
context, the purport of which was in this in
stance. that it was the duty of every man legally
entitled to register, to insist, under all circum
stances u|kiu exercising that privilege, and if re
fused, to appeal to the Commanding General for
redress. Wherein does my criticism upon Mr
Hill’s speech—if a sneer can be called a criticism
—conflict with that proposition ? Have you any
other appeal ? Yes—to arms! Are you preparer!
for it ? Are the people of Georgia prepared lor it?
Let the South look the haggard picture iu the face,
not only like brave men (that has been proven)
but like men of sense. It is trite that Mr. Hill
predicted that, “A struggle is coming! It may be
a long bloody one.” Possibly. But is Mr. Ilill ex
actly the man to fill the role ol a Georgian Mira
beau in his port ending revolution ? Is he to be tlie
“Enfant terrible" of our future sausculoltic Gov
ernment ? Is it by this neophyte lover of funda
mental fotmulas we are to witness Congresses
prorogued and rulers disarmed ? Is it lrom the
heroic throat of such a Herald that we shall
io-ur the deep-toned proclamation—“Citoyens hi
Patrie ext cn Danger ! ”
Seriously there is something too much of this
very “cheap defense of nations,” in Mr. Hill’s
composition. The easy art of “imitatiug ances
tral voices prophesying war” lias long'siuce ceas
ed to be either profitable or attractive. It 1
mistake not, tlie people, both North and South,
have had a surfeit of the noble game of killing.
Tlie peroration of sucli destructive declaimers,
can be read dimly through tears on the rude
head-boards of many an unmarked grave.
But Mr. Hill says the reconstruction measures
against which he indirectly advises armed re
sistance are unconstitutional. This idea is not
original with the gentleman, though he seems to
be’ laboring under that impression.
Several ol tlie ablest jurists in tlie Republic
made a similar suggestion many months ago,
but failed to provide a remedy.
The very authors of the military bills, includ
ing their representative organs, tlie Times and
Tribune, admit the fact, and still applaud the
policy. There is b it one tribunal that can give
efficacy to such an objection, and that tribunal
has rctused to speak.
In the meantime these respond a prudentium,
will neither justily nor protect any one iu viola
tion of the laws as they are enacted. The Presi
dent, in veto messages that will compare very
favorably in logical strength with the Atlanta
speech, expresses the same view, and yet an
nounces his determination to enforce the acts.—
Why? Because, until the Supreme Court has
decided to the contrary, it is his duty to execute,
as it is of others to obey. In truth, nearly the
entire Northern people concede the question of
unconstitutionality, and yet are becoming restive
under the opposition with which the congres
sional policy of reconstruction is being met—a
significant revolutionary fact that renders all ar
gument upon the point worse than useless.—
There are conjunctions in the history of nations
when silence is statesmanship. Demosthenes,
with a pebble under his tongue, may have phil-
lippised the sea, but while exercising bis elo
quence, he does not tarry the tide. Mr. Hill
differs in some slight particulars from the Athe
nian orator, but it is not likly to prove any more
successful ou that account. Let us see how this
theory works when practically applied.
A Lettre-de- Cachet (curious paper in a republic)
once sent Mr. Hill to Fort LaFayette. No intel
ligent man of any party doubts that it was done
unconstitutionally. Did the imprisoned patriot
compose sonnets to Chillon or pathetic adjura
tions to President Johnson? Was the retrain
of our modern Bonnivard—
“ Eternal spirit of the chadless mind,
Brighter in dungeons, Liberty!”
or was it reiterated promises to forever retrain
hereafter? Did the untamed eagle from the
mountains of Northern Georgia lash his wings
indignantly against the bars of his Bastiie, or
was bis shrill cry tlie cry of Sterne’s startling?
Did he “ regain bis freedom with a sigh,” or was
it a sigh of relief? Did it comfort liis legal
mind—did it soothe his judicial soul to know he
was confined in violation of article V. of the
amendment to the Constitution of (he United
States? And yet, Mr. Hill advises tlie people of
Georgia, now in a condition of political bond
age, to scornfully reject -their only opportunity
of escape because they are unconstitutionally
oppressed. Let the trial go by default, says this
disinterested Tribune of the people, for you have
the proud consciousness of knowing that you
have been imprisoned “ without due process ol
law.” All ol which is very heroic aud very
boshy.
Few men, writes La Roclifancauld, but have
sufficient courage to bear with fortitude the mis
fortunes of others. There is a a chapter iu Car
lyle’s History of the French Revolution entitled,
“The Constitution will not March," which he
should read and inwardly digest. Common
sense, practical energetic action, will alone 9olve
this question of reconstruction.
As well fight a Cammanche with a code, or
attempt to convert Brigham Young by elegant
extracts from St. Paul, as stay the fever and pas
sion of the dominant party by quoting legal pre
cedents or fundamental laws. You went out un
constitutionally, you are kept out unconstitu
tionally, whence this sensitiveness about going
back unconstitutionally ?
Mr. Hill tells you to register. “It is arming
yourself with au important power to be wielded
against the nefarious scheme, but don’t vote for
the Convention.” More meaningless advice
never was given. There is uot a candid man in
the State who, glaucing calmly over the political
horizon, but feels convinced that a Convention is
inevitable. If to be registered is to be armed,
then to have a representation iu that Convention
is to be doubly armed. Upon the character and
calibre ol that body depends the weal or woe of
this commonwealth. Will the citizens of Geor
gia wilfully aid in Jacobiniug that assembly, or
will they labor like earnest men to secure an in
telligent aud conservative class of delegates.
It will be useless to protest after the mischief
has been accomplished. It must be prevented.
That can only be done by co-operating with the
Convention movement and in a measure at least
controling its counsels.
But Mr. Hill, with ponderous exclamation
point, proclaims that whoever votes for a con
vention is “morally and legally a perjured trait
or!” This is hysterical. It is the scream of a
weak woman - in her vapors. His talking
organs were heated. There is neither logic,
rhetoric or oratory in such ferocious feebleness.
Addressed to an individual it might demand at
tention, applied to an entire community it only
deserves contempt. Invective is clearly not Mr.
Hill’s forte. Ilis efforts iu that direction remind
one painfully of Penelope’s suitore tugging at
the bow of Ulysses. It was just such splenetic
language aud intolerance of political differences
tha? led to the relielliou. Tliaddeus Stevens
asks no better allies than these flippant hurlers
of epithets. The man who votes lor a conven
tion is no more a “perjured traitor,” than lie who
votes against one. It is the privilege of every
registered citizen to do either, as he may con
scientiously believe the peace aud prosperity of
the country require. It is his privilege also to
exercise this discretion without being clumsily
absurd. If there is any peijury in acquiescing in
these acts of Congress, then it is accomplished
by tbe registration itself, that beiug the initial
recognition of the validity ot the reconstruc
tion laws. What is the object sought to be
attained by voting down the Convention ?
To be replaced in the condition you were before
you registered. Why in the name of all that is
tedious, take such a circuitous route to arrive at
the beginning ot your journey ? It is a laborious
way ot doing nothing—a very fussy sloth. It is
but another phase of the “dignified non-action ”
bubble which I supposed Jiad been pricked long
siuee. Olium cum dignitate is the privilege of
prosperity, the assumption of it in adversity is
the accomplishment of fools.

Cloriag Scenes of the SnrrnXS Trial.
Washington, Aug. 10.—At one o’clock, pris
oner was brought into the court-room and as
signed the seat occupied by him during the trial,
beside bis counsel. He came into court smoking,
and seemed in'good spirits as he chatted with his
counsel. Merrick made an allusion to the report
that an attempt would be made at his rescue,
whereat prisoner seemed much amused.
At five minutes past one, Judge Fisher re
sumed his seat upon the bench. Mulloy, the
crier, called court to order. Marshal Phillips
directed to bring the jury down. By this time
the room was much crowded. The jury was
brought in at eight minutes past one, and by di
rection of Judge Fisher, the names of the jurors
were called.
Mr. Middleton addressing tbe jury : “ Gentle
men of the Jury, have you agreed upon vour
verdict ?”
Todd - “We have not been able to agree.”
Judge Fisher—“I have received the toilowing
letter from the jury:
“To the Hou. Geo. P. Fisher, Judge of the
Crininal Court—Sir: The jury in the case of the
United States vs. John H. Surratt most respect
fully stale that they stand precisely now as when
they first balloted upou entering the room, near
ly equally divided, and they are firmly con
vinced that they cannot possibly make p verdict
We deem it our duty to the court, to the coun
try, and iu view of the condition of our private
affairs, and the situation of our families, aud in
view of the fact that the health of several of our
number is becoming seriously impaired under
the protracted confinement, to make this state
ment and to ask your Honor to dismiss us at
once. Most respectfully submitted 1 —W. B.
Todd, Robert Ball, J. R. Barr, Thomas Berry,
Geo. A. Bohoer, C. G. Schneider, James Y. Da
vis, Columbus Alexander, Wm. McLean, Beoj
F. Morsell, B. E. Gittinga, W. W. Birth.”
After the letter was read, Judge Fisher asked
if anything was to be said on either side, why
the jury was to be discharged. Bradley said the
prisoner did not consent, and if there was any
discharge it would be against the protest of pris
oner. Carrington said he would leave the whole
matter with the court. Fisher said he had al
ready received two or three notes of similar
tenor. If there was any possibility of the jury
agreeing, he would not object to keeping them
for a reasonable length of time, but as he was
informed that they could not possibly agree, he
would discharge them. Tlie jury was accord
ingly discharged at ten minutes past one o’clock.
The jury then left the court room. Fisher then
immediately read the following: I have now a
very unpleasant duty to discharge, but one which
I cannot forego. On the 2d day of july last, du
ring the progress ot the trial of John Surratt for
the murder of Abraham Lincoln, immediately
after the court had takeu a recess until the fol
lowing morning, as the presiding Justice was de
scending from the bench, Joseph fl. Bradley,
Esq., accosted him in $ rude and insulting man
ner, chargiug the Judge with having offered
him, Mr. Bradley, a series of inkults from the
bench from the commencement of the trial.—
The Judge disclaimed any intention whatever ol
passing any insult, and assured Mr. Bradley that
he entertained for him no otlifir feelings but
those of respect Mr. Bradley, so for from ac
cepting this explanation or disclaimer, thereupon
threatened the Judge with personal chastise
ment, as he understood no court could adminis
ter justice or live ii its judges are to be threaten
ed with personal violence on all occasions, when
ever the counsel may be excited by an imaginary
insult. The offense of Mr. Bradley is one which

if the court had adjourned. Fisher—-“It has
not.” Bradley—“ Then, sir, in the presence of
the court, and this Msemblege, I hereby pro
nounce the statement just read by tbe Judge, as
entirely false in every particular.” Fisher inter
rupted, “ Crier, adjourn court.” Molloy, the
crier—“This court is adjourned.” Bradley—
“ Well, then, I will say now ”—Fisher rising to
leave tlie bench—“ You can say what you
please, sir, and make a speech to the crowd, if
you like.” Bradley—“ You have no authority
to dismiss me from the bar: that must be the
act of three ot the Judges of the Supreme court.”
Judge Fisher made a reply which was Inaudi
ble to our reporter, and then left the room, fol
lowed by a large number of persons.
Immediately alter leaving the court room
Fisher proceeded to the street and entered a car.
He was followed closely by Bradley, who en
tered the car, and stepping up to Fisher handed
him a note. Fisher took the note, rose to his
teet, and began to read it, and Mr. Bradley
turned and left tlie car, around which an excited
crowd had gathered. It is understood that the
note was a challenge. Several police sprang into
the car, and Officer McHenry stepped to the side
of Mr. Bradley and kept in that position while
he remained in the car. Leaving the car, Mr.
Bradley passed through the crowd and entered
his office, and was followed by several friends
belonging to the bar. A large crowd immedi
ately gathered on the corner in front of his office.
After remaining in his . office a few moments,
Bradley came out arm-in-arm with his brother,
C. Bradley, Esq., of the National Bank of the
Republic, and proceeded down Pennsylvania
Avenue, followed by a crowd nt friends and cu
rious persons, who excitedly discussed the pro
ceedings which had just transpired. In the
meantime Fisher resumed his seat in the car,
and continued his perusal of the note while the
car moved off. A number of his personal friends
had entered the car, and a great deal ot appre
hension was manifested of a personal encounter
between the Judge and the deposed lawyer.
Washington Items.
Washington, August 10.—On account of ap
prehensions of yellow fever becoming epidemic,
Grant orders that officere absent on leave from
Louisiana and Texas, may, upon application to
the Adjutaut General, have tlieir leave extended
to-the 15th of October.
The following is published very conspicuously
in this morning’s Herald: “The New York cri
sis—Ex-Senator Harris, of New York, on the
present condition of the country. To the Edi
tor of the Herald: New York, August 8,1867.
—I thank you for your manly announcement in
this morning’s Herald, in the article beaded
‘The New Crisis.’ Your views ih that article
are so wholesome that I cannot leave the city
this morning, being transiently here, without ex
pressing my gratitude. I assure you, sir, that
the present attempt of party leaders to make the
Southern States negro States, is positively alarm
ing, and the people of the North most not allow
Us success, if they value their own freedom and
prosperity. It the people stop to think, they will
spurn such an attempt with indignation. No-
thinging but .false issues can possibly allow snch
a ruinous project to succeed.
To cheat the people, tbe advocate of this nefari
ous scheme will keep before them the idea ot mar
tyrdom, and all that sort of thing, but the true
issue should be ever present to our minds, and
martyrs rewarded at a less expense than the
overthrow of our institutions. Now, sir, I have
done my humble part in the late war for the
Union. Two of my sons have fallea under the
Union flag, and my part has been in contribu
Hons, and not in the reception of a penny profit
during the strife; but never have I wished any
thing bnt a restored Union. For this, and this
alone. I have sacrificed, and not fi>r the elevation
of the negro, nor the diafrancisement ol the
people of tbe Southern Stales. If the people ot
the South are not to be restored to the Union,
then the old Capperhead cry, that the Union
could not be restored by arms, is verified. The
idea that the SOtffti mnsrtie v 5«urg«l before its
States are allowed fo return, is'an admission that
the war has been a wicked failure, and has been
waged for the destruction of the republic. It is
not a debatable question. We did not send our
sons to die for the erection of negro States in
South. I appeal to the great masses in the
North, who generously poured out their blood
and treasure Into tlie conflict, if this was their
object 3Ir. Editor, you have hit a tender chord
in your remarks this morning, and will, I know,
awaken the sleeping senses ot the people on this
crisis. I have purchased a plantation in Ala
bama, and contemplate removal there, and am
encouraging others in the North to follow me;
but if that State is to be a negro State, farewell
to my purchase. • The reasons are obvious. Fa
natics may not see them, bnt men of common
sense can. I thank you again, from my heart
Ir-CE. Harris.
Removal or IKr. Stanton—Gen. Grant
temporary Secretary of War.
Washington, Aug 13.—The President at 10
o’clock this morning sent a communication to
3Ir. Stanton, suspending him from office as Se
cretary of War, and directing him to transfer
the records, books, &c., to General Grant, and
informing Stanton that Grant had -been empow
ered to act as Secretary of War ad interim. At
tbe same hour authority was issued to General
Grant authorizing him to act as Secretary of
War. ad interim, and directing him to at once
enter upon duty. At noon tlfe President re
ceived a note from Stanton denying the Presi
dent’s right, under the Constitution and laws, to
suspend Stanton, without the consent ot the
Senate or legal cause, but inasmuch as the Gen
eral Commanding the armies of the United States
had notified him (Stanton) that he (Grant) had
accepted the appointment of Secretary of War
ad interim, he (Stanton) had no alternative but
to submit, under protest, to superior force.—
Grant has assumed charge of the War Depart
ment, and appeared at the Cabinet meeting to
day, for tbe purpose of considering certain ques
tions with regard to the territory recently ac
quired from Russia.
Papers presented by Dunham alias Conover
as given- for pardon contain no word impugning
Ashley, Butler, or other persons. Those which
professed to disclose the plot were filed subse
quently, and apparently jn despair of procuring 1
pardon without them. They are altogether dis
tinct from the original pardon papers. There is
the highest authority for saying that when the
disclosures came officially before the President
he decided to submit them to tbe public without
further investigation or any attempt to gather
additional evidence, which was said to exist.
It is officially stated that the value of the New
Orleans & Carrollton Railroad, assigned to the
United States in part payment of the recent
New Orleans defalcation, is not affected by mort
gage held by the Fourth National Bank of New
York.
