Significant— The Cincinnati Commer
cial a Radical paper, commentuig npon
Tliad. SteVrns’ course in Congiess, says:
“It becomes Mr. Stevens to proceed with
modesty. He will find before the session
lias far advanced, that he is not the leader
of the House and that its practical men will
refuse to follow him in an atic dance of ram
pant radicalism-
The Case of Surratt.
Tjie alleged.and arrest and escape
of Surratt, though of doubtful authen
ticity, revives the recollection of the
crime in which he was alleged to have
been engaged, and of the trial of
which his associates suffered. The
maimer in which the pursuit of Booth
was conducted, his death, the trials
and the execution, all tendered to ob
scure the facts of the conspiracy, and
to throw* doubts upon the parties to it.
The recent discovery of the purjuries
and deceptions of Conover* Montgom
ery, and others,- has infused anew
element of doubt into the story. This
skepticism has so pervaded the public
mind th:lt the death of the chief assas
in is doubted, and there is a vague be
lief prevalent, in many quarters that
Booth still lives! The immense re
ward offered for his conviction shake
the credibility of testimony, and the
fact that Corbett, who shot him, was
rewarded, when every public interest
required that he should be taken alive,
confuses the public mind. Speaking
of the conspiracy the Boston Adver
tiser says that “ though the most ac
cute legal minds have been employed
to sift it to the bottom, it is to-day
wrapped in as close and unfathomable
mystery as covers any similar spot
the dimness of middle., ages. The
extent of the general ignorance about
it may well be gauged by the
fact of the two well known gentle
men who were put in charge of the
case by the Gonernment, and studied
long and closely, one still declares
that Jefferson Davis was the chief
conspirator, while the other stakes his
reputation on the shocking and in
credible accusation that the President
of the United Ststes was an aecom
plice in the plot.
'I hat paper proposes, if Surratt falls
into our hands, to “otter him his life
and liberty, or any oilier price which
might be sufficient to secure it, to ob
tain from his lips the information
which will shed the light of day upon
the most difficult as well as the most
interesting criminal mystery of tkrue.”
But who is to-believe testimony thus
purchased ? The m-alace that prompt
ed and paid the accusation against
Davis might now rejoice to- direct it
against Johnson*—and- it is evident,
front* the- Advertiser's own- showing,
that there arc men eager t-o involve
the President in this or any other
blackening accusation,
. Speaking of one of the victims of
the military law, the Springfield Re
publican says tlmt “It is thtv gener
al opinion' of lawyers who have
studied the evidence that nothing at
all was proved against Spangler. If
the accused had been tried before a
jury, as the Constitution requires,
there would have been no such pain
ful doubts ns now exist as to the justice
of the awards rendered. The mischief
may in part be remedied by anew
and legal trial-ofthose who survive,
and if this is- granted- in Spangler’s
case, as it clearly should be, it may also
be granted to others, anil doubtless
will- be, if the facts elicited by the
new trial of Spangler shall seem-to re
quire it.”
It is a pity if this story of the cap
ture of Surratt should turn out to be
false. It might afford an opportunity*
for the reparation of some "great
wrongs, and now throw light upon
some dark passages m-o<ir history.
Senator Doolittle Hopeful.*—
Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, was
at New Orleans last week on a pro
fessional engagement, and was invited
to speak. In a note declining, on ac
count of the brevity of his visit,, he
says:
I have seen nothing to change, but
not much to confirm, the views ex
pressed by me in the Senate last win
ter, in the National Union-Convention
at Philadelphia, and at other places
during the late canvass in the North
ern States.
While the time of the full recogni
tion may be postponed by the result
of the recent elections longer than I
could have wished, my faith is still
unshaken that, at no distant day, the
people of the Northern States will
recognize, as the President and the
Supreme Court have already recogni
zed, these States of the South as States
of the Union, under the Constitution,
with “all their rights, dignity and
equality unimpaired.”
It is just as certain, in my judg
ment, as that the people of the North
ern States are capable of maintaining
republican government lor themsel
ves,
Tiiad Stevens.— This poor old buf
foon is finding himself deserted in
every way by his own party. In the
last number of Harper’s Weekly, one
of tbc most radical of all the dirty
sheets of the North, we find an article
on Congress, from which we take the
following significant extracts :
“Wc repeat the hope that we ex
pressed during the last winter, that
some representatives whose radical
conviction are unquestionable as those
of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, will save
Congress and the country from the
disgrace of his unchecked talk and
action. The motion of this gentleman
that the House should adjourn during
the reading of the President’s Message
was not so much an insult to the
President as to the whole country,
and his remarks at the banquet of re
ception were untimely and foolish.”
It seems that there is still some
sense ot decency remaining with a
portion of the Radicals.

Atlanta Market.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 20th, 1860.
Editor Rkbudlioak : The jnclcmoncy of
the weather during the greater part of the
past week his. prevented trade from being
active and heavy.
With the exception of a s.ngle the receipts
of Cotton have been considerably less than
the average receipts. We quote the best at
80c. tax paid, and the market buoyant.
The stock of Corn hare is heavier than it
has been for some time. We quote at $1 35
by the car load at depot, and $1 40 from
storb
Flour is somewhat lower in s'ock, with a
less quantity to arrive We quote Superfino
Jl2 50; Extra, Sl3 00; Double Extra, sl4,
Family s>ls@!J>lG; Fancy sl7@slß.
Bacon seems to have fa len somewhat into
disfavor, as the stock has increased, and
prices declined during the week- We quote
old clear sides at, Die. and shoulders at 14c.
The stock and demand for Lard are fair.
We quote prime new in tierces at 10c, attd in
cans at I7@lßc.
The large and increasing demand for Hay
has been met by heavy receipts. We quote
Sls 00 per ton.
The supply of Oats is fair, with a good de
mand. We quote at $1 00.
The excessive demand for Salt, has reduced
Hie stock, but. prices are no higher. Liver,
pool is worth $4 per sack, and Virginia §3 00.
There has been a great falling off in tliede
dtnand for Lagging and ltopo, for which the
season in this section seems to be about ov
