The widow, desirous to get all the pro perty, concealed her husband's death, and per suaded a poor shoemaker to take his p!ice while a will could be made. Accordingly he was closely muffled in bed, as if very sick, and a lawyer was called to write a will The shoe maker in a feebled voice, bequeathed half of all the property to the widow. "What shall be done with the remainder V asked the lawyer. "The remainder," replied he; "I give and be queath to the poor little shoemaker across the street, who has always been a good neighbor and a deserving man thus securing a rich be quest for himself. The widow was thunder struck at the man's audacious cunning, but did not dare expose the fraud, and so two rogues shared the estate. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald states that he has reason to believe that Mr Davis will be released io a few days on bail that the President has desired that he should be brought to trial, but that, as it is un derstood in official circles his trial will not take place at the October term, his release may be looked for soon after, but not till after that time. It is also stated that Mr Davis had been offered his release on condition of his leaving the coun try never to return, and that he indignantly re jected it on those terms. Administrator's Sale.

Tt " A RETURNED CONFEDERATE. : The latest, and perhapa the last to come, re turned Confederate, was io this city Saturday, direct from the late enemy's prisons. Ilis experience since the surrender has been both eventlul and tragic. Soon after the ter mination of the war he was, with other prisoners at Johnson's Tbland, liberated, but was not fur nished with transportation. Being without money, he was at a loss how to get to bis home, which is in Augusta county in this State, nine miles from Staunton. He, however, made his way into Indiana, afoot, and in passing through a town of that State, went ioto a hotel, think inr he might meet with some one who would give him assistance. A number of men were at the bar drinking, among them a Federal officer, who was talking about the war, and among other things, said that he had taken an oath to kill every one of Ashby's men he ever met with. Without stopping to weigh the consequences our returned hero spoke up, on the impulse of the moment, and said "he was one of Ashby's men." The officer at once drew a pistol and fired on him three times, each ball taking effect, but not in vital point9. Our Confederate, like a wounded lion, rushed on him, wrenched the weapon from his grasp and shot the officer dead with a 'emaiaing ball. The Confederate was arrested; thrown in prison, where he suffered long months of confinement, and it was only very recently that he was brought to trial, which resulted in his final acquittal. He then started again for home, and reached here Saturday morning by the Tennessee train. He stopped at the Norvel! House, where he was recognized by gentlemen who knew him and vouched for his respectability and reliability. lie also had with liim a copy of the records in the trill pro perly authenticated, corroborating his state ments. He was furnished with assistance and started for home Sunday morning. His name is Simpson, and he was a member of Ashby's command, while that knightly chieftain rode his wondrous rounds, and was the first to reach his noble form when he fell. Thus has perhaps the last "rebel" in gray, come back to his home, save the long, long list of those who sleep in the "bivouac of the dead," vho will never return again to the homes for which they fought so well. Lynchburg Virginian. The Murder in Wilkes. Seldom have we heard of a more cold blooded murder than the killing of Dent by Higgins, for whose appre hension a reward of 300 has been offered by Governor Worth. It is stated that Dent found Higgins' hog destroying his corn, and in com pany with a friend, went to inform Higgins of the circumstance ; at which Higgins became of fended, and ordered Dent to leave the premises, which was the property of another party where Higgins was 6taying. . Dent and bis friend turned to depart, when Higgins struck Dent with a hoe on top of his head killing him in stantly. Dent, during the war, was a Southern sympathiser, while Higgins was a deserter and bushwhacker being a person of a notoriously bad character generally. JSlatesville American. From Canada. The N. Y.

Thaddens Stevens made a speech on the 4th of September to his constituents in Bedford, Penn., from which we make the following ex tracts in order that our readers may see what the leader of the radical party proposes to do in the next Congress : ''In criticising Congress I will try to be im partial. I will not ask you to bestow unmin gled praise. I feel that we omitted some im portant things which we ought to have done, and for which omission we deserve the censure of the people. While it was impossible, ob structed as we were by the President and Cop pei heads, to make this a Republic of "liberty and equality' we might have approached it more nearly than we did. We might have treated the rebel . States as what they are, in fact, conquered provinces, and through enabling acts, we could have fixed the qualifications of voters so that every loyal man could participate in the formation - of their organic law. We should thus, with entire certainty, have secured tne (jrovernment to loyal Union men, have formed in every one of those States Constitu tions giving equal privileges to all, and which would have curbed the rising spirit of rebellion which is now -rampant in every one of those States. For, I assure you, from irrefutable evi dence, that traitors are now triumphant in every Confederate State. No Republican doubts the power of Congress to do what I have stated. No sound constitutional lawyer believes any one of the organizations now existing in those States to be legitimate governments. Formed by the decrees of a military conqueror without consult ing the people, they can be tolerated only as temporary arrangements,-until the law-making power provides them permanent laws and forms of government. They are so considered by the rebeis themselves. Not a rebel State has this day a lawful Gov ernment. They are mere Territories conquered by our arms from the "Confederate States of America." Why, then, did not Congress give them either Territorial Governments or enabling acts so that they could form State Governments, and come into the Unicn with Constitutions se curing "equal and impartial rights to every hu man being within their limits? Early in the session I introduced a bill to give them enabling acts on the true principle of republican govern ment. It -met with but little countenance. The republican mind had not examined, and was not ready to accept so radical a proposition. And so the session was spent in inaction, ifou may find my proposition, together with the rea sons for it, in the last number of the Globe ; I wish it might be copied into your excellent paper so that you may judge of it. I trust you can inform us of its propriety. I shall reneT it at the next session. In my opinion, Congress was derelict in another particular. I have always held that while but few of the belligerents should suffer the extreme penalty of the law, yet that a suffi cient fund should be levied out of their property to pay the expenses and damages of the war. Congress in July, 1862, declared all their pro perty forfeited, and directed the President to seize it for the benefit of the United States ; more than ten billions of property thus became vested io the United States. Proceedings against more than two billions of property, in eluding the abandoned estates, had been insti tuted and were in progress. The President has restored to the traitors nearly the whole of it Thus has he illegally given away half enough to pay the national debt. He has enriched traitors at the expense of loyal men. And yet Con gress, bold as it was, had not the courage to re verse these proceedings and compel the Execu tive to do his duty. I trust that our constituents will give us more courage, so that at the next session we may compel the President to do his duty and execute the laws. Those are omis sions which I frankly confess and sincerely de plore. But our growing sin was the omission to give homesteads and the right of suffrage in the rebel S'ates to the freedmen who had fought our baHles. We have left them the victims of the rebels who every day shoot them down in cold blood. At Memphis, forty-eight were mur dered under the direction of the municipal au thorities, and not a man prosecuted. Behold the awful slaughter of white men and black of a Convention of highly respectable men, peace ably assembled in Convention at New Orleans, which Gen. Sheridan pronounces more horrible than the massacre of Fort Pillow. Even the clergyman who opened the proceedings with prayer was cruelly murdered. All this was done under the sanction of Johnson and his office-holders. It is the legitimate consequence of his "policy." I admit Congress became demagogical in the last, hot days, when all manhood was melted oat of everybody. They did some things to seduce the Fenians into our ranks. The measures were right, and so I voted for them. I will speak j plainly on this subject. The President and his squad (it does not de serve tho name of party) contend that the war made no changes in the condition of our insti tutions, under the Constitution. That the rights and liabilities of all our former citizens, rebel as well as loyal, remain unchanged. This exhibits a most deplorable ignorance or culpa ble treachery. No great war between acknowl edged belligerents ever left the condition and rights of the parties after the same as before, unless it were so stipulated by the . treaty of peace. The war leaves them without compact?, without rights, except the rights of war. When it is ended, new treaties are to be made; or if one party submits, the conqueror pre scribes the future relative condition of the par ties, without regard to their relative condition before the war. The vanquished have no rights except what the conqueror grants. This is much more so when one of the belligerents was composed of rebels. You are aware that a Con vention of traitora was lately held at Philadel phia. Most of them had actually borne arms against the United 3iatear and helped murder half a million of our citizens. A, few sympa thizers from the North, who ought to have beeu South met ith them. They extinguished the Democratic Party, and blotted its name from the vocabulary of parties. No Democratic Party can henceforth exist. They laid down an elaborate party creed or platform of principles for this conglomerated mass. Being traitors, they of course adopted the Presidents views. Here is their fundamental article, to which all the others conform. Mr Raymond's address says : ' . "The Constitution of the United States is to day precisely what it was, before the war, the supreme law of the land, anything in the Con stitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. And to-day also as before the war all powers not - conferred by tne Constitu tion on the General Government nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved by it to th seve ral States or the people thereof. The United States acquired no new power, no rights either territorial or of civil authority which it did not possess before the war broke out " This strange, wild and wicked doctrine was unanimously adopted by the conclave. What! Six millions of rebels who had renounced the Constitution; who had loaded the nation with debt and drenched it with blood, when conquer ed had forfeited no right; had lost no jurisdic tion or civil authority; and these conquerors had acquired none, because there was a Consti tution which, while they obeyed, protected them, but .which they had discarded and torn to pieces by war! Was there ever before a hu man brain frenzied enough to engender . such folly, or a human front brazen enough to utter it? No principle in national law is clearer than that, when belligerents inaugurate a war which is acknowledged to be a public war, all the for mer obligatians, treaties and compacts' between the parties become null and void; and after the war are to be renewed or repudiated, as the par ties agree, or as the conqueror decrees. K either party is utterly subdued, his life, liberty and prosperity are at the disposal of the victor. Why does not the Emperor of Austria say to the King of Prussia, "I lay down my arms, and all things will remain as before the war." The Prussian would answer, "You are as big a fool as the President of America, or the traitors' league." No, sir. The war has changed every thing old treaties and leagues have ceased. Venetia is no longer yours; Hanover and the Duchies are mine; and beside, -you most pay the expenses of the war $45,000,000." Who denies that. is the law of nations except the ad vocates of treason; who deny our right to make them pay the expenses of the war?. They cry out against confiscation for crime, as if it were inhuman. God willing, I shall try it agian,and see if they do not pay part of the cost and damages of the war . before they help to make our laws. The Constitution unchanged! Then slavery exists; then all the provisions with re gard to the rendition of fugitives from labor re main; then every traitor has a right to sit down in Congress, as the repreoentative of three-fifths of all the slaves beside the whites. We can easily forgive the amiable and facile author of the declaration, as he is do lawyer; is totally ig norant of the law of nations or the laws of war; but what shall we say of those able jurists who fat by and acquiesced, unless we put it upon the same ground that one of the ablest and best of them did, when be advised to take a false oath to get a vote and then to break it. . But, fellow-citizens, I am occupying too much ground. As I said before, the great issue to be met at this election is the question of negro rights. I shall not deny, but admit, that a fun damental principle of the Republican creed is that every being possessing an immortal soul is equal before the law. They are not and-cannot be equal in strength, bight, beauty, intellectual and moral culture, or social acquirements; these are accidents which must govern their condition accordiog to circumstances. But in this Re public, the same laws must acd shall apply to every mortal, American, Irishman, African, German or Turk. It is written by the finger of the Almighty law-giver, "Ye shall have one manner of laws, as well for the stranger as for one of your own country; for lam the Lord your God." Fall Elections.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun recounts a singular case of conscience that has just transpired : A few days since there came to Secrefary McCulloch, by mail, a package, postmarked Urbana, Ohio. Upon opening if, it was found to contain sixteen one thousand dollar seven-thirty bonds and seven hundredand Beventy-five dollars in legal tender"curreocy. It was unaccompanied by any letter or writing to indicate from whom it came or for what pur pose sent. The numbers had been carefully eut from each of the bonds, probably to prevent any possibility of their being traced to the person sending them.

Herschell V.Johnson, of Ga., is out in a let ter strongly endorsing the Johnson Philadelphia Convention. He concludes thus : "Wherein I differ from the platform and ad dress, I will differ io peace as with friends, and lock Bhields with them against the common ene my. 1 say God 6peed to the work which was begun in Philadelphia. Every consideration of interest and patriotism calls upon as to aid in the work of restoration We oan never suc cessfully organize our agricultural labor; capi tal will not flow to as for the devopcment of our n abounded natural resources; population will not increase rapidly nor prosperity return to us, so long as the present political derange ment continues. We shall be the helpless vio tims of misrule and despotism. The domina tion of the radicals must be broken down or constitutional - liberty is lost, and the South doomed to the saddest fate that ever befell a civilized people. Our duty is plain. Jt involve! ho - dishonor. It requires us to practice pa tience, forbearance, conciliation! and resignation to present evils for the 6ake of greater future good. We cannot expect to have things all onf own way. If we could, our situation were quits different. We wish that we were free from debt, and that no stay law was necessary to save the people from utter ruin. But the war brought the one and a sense of self-preservation among the people demand) the other. If we could have things all our own way, the war had re sulted differently, we would have taken oar po sition as an independent power among the fami ly of nations. But providenco ordained other wi.w, and we mast obey the irrevocable decree. It is the part of wise aod liberal statesmenship to tolerate what it cannot prevent, and seek, by appeal to reason and patriotism, to mitigate what it cannot control. To learn this is one of the most valuable lessons for individual life. It is so for States. It brings comparative hap piness to both, whilst the heart frets and chafes under the friction of vain resistance." No Wonder Monet is Scarce! Tim Cause. If the practice of distilling corn into whiskey be not abandoned, thero will not only be a scarcity of corn for bread, but no money will be left in the State for any purpose. A bushel of corn yields three gallons of whiskey- the tax on :which for the Government is $2 a gallon, or $3 for each bushel of corn distilled, whieh is taken entirely away, as the Govern ment expends very little money in the- State. Money is not brought into the State by the sale of this whiskey, it all being consumed at home, for, whiskey made of corn that coets $1.25 per bushel, cannot compete with whiskey made of eoro that costs only 35 or 40 cents a bushel, as in the Northwest, io distant markets. Whiskey sells at $2 50 per gallon, and pay a duty of 92, leaving the manufacturer 50 cents, for the priv ilege of sending out of the neighborhood, county and State $2, or $6 for each bushel of corn dis tilled. It requires no mathematician to tell bow soon the last dollar will be drained from our midst. No wonder money is scarce and grow iog scarcer ! Istatesvillc American.

The trial of the case has engaged the attention of the Court for tho last three days, and the main poiot in the case was as to the validity of a deed executed by R. M. Smith to the plain tiffs in June, 1863, the consideration of which was Confederate money. , Ilanback entered opon the possession of the land in 1862, and held it as the tenant of Smith. Smith sold and conveyed to the plaiotifls, by the deed of June, 1863. The question upon the deed was raised by the defendant's counsel by a motion to exclude it as evidence from the jury, aud was elaborately argued Ly Messrs. Helm and Huoton for the defendant, and by Messrs. Tucker and Shackelford for the com plainantss the Court overruled the motion to exclude, and allowed the deed to goto the jury. The result of this ruling settles the law, so far as this Courtis concerned, in favor of the valid ity of deeds for land sold during the war for Confederate moneay. The jury rendered a ver dict for the plaintiffs. . i5T The Indianapolis Herald publishes a list of prominent citizens, office-holders aod others, who were engaged io the recent disgraceful riot ia that city, by which the President was pre vented from speaking.

The evidence of a youth is given to the effect that he was paid 95 to burl a 'Urge stone at the President, aod further proof is ad duced - that desperate characters were brought from other places to engage in the riot. . Threat were openly made, for several days before the visit of the President, that be should not leave Indianapolis alive. Such are the legitimate fruits of Radicalism. Heavy Lawsuit in Texas.
