Membrial to the President
of the United States.
We give below, says the Charleston Courier,
the memorial of the citizens of the, State of
South Carolina to his Excellency the President
of the United*$tates, for the appointment of a
provisional governor for the State of South
Carolina:
To his ^Excellency Andrew Johnson, President
* of the United States:
m The undersigued, who have taken the oath
of allegiance, long residents?of Charleston ana
vther sections of the State of Sonth Carolina,
?nd citizens of the United States of America,
most respootfiilly memorialize your Excellency,
to obtain the restoration'' of the , civil government
in this State. The.great civil war which,
- - dtdiStotted wfchrirkKKt, tufracfl
pie, and desolated our homes, is at an end. In
good faith, we have renewed our fidelity to the
Constitution of the United States. There is
* no reserved intention to embarrass the authorities,
or sullen disposition to oppose the Government
/
The determination is universal to be in spirit
and in truth loyal, and to do all that becomes
citizens whose interest is in the United
States, to promote the prosperity of their country.
The deprivation of civil government op>

trust, diftnv sbes, if it does not wholly destroy,
commercial trait .actions, and inflicts on the
community lawless peculations in the place of
an invigorating, legitimate commerce. Your
memorialists can effect noting without the aid
of your Excellency's authority.
The State has ever continued a part of the
great integrol?the Union. The people arc
disorganized. The appointment of a provisional
governor, with power to re-organize the
State Government, would lead to an early restoration
of a civil government, and confer on
* the people of this State the blessings of
peace.
Your memorialists, therefore, pray that
some citizen of this State be appointed provisional
governor of the State of South Caro-'
lina.
And your memorialists will ever pray.
Surrender of Kirby Smith's Forces.?
New Orleans papers contain the details of the |
surrender of Kirby Smith's forces. The capit-1
ulatien was completed on the 25th of May. I
G-en. Bucknor, it appears, conducted the last!
' capitulation, as hq did the firsfone at Fort j
Donelson. He showed Gen. Canby uudispu-1
tablo authority to act for Smith. The rebel I
navy was represented by Capt. Carter. Gen.
Dick Taylor was present. It is propablc, therefore,
a competent Federal force will move forwanlat
once to occvy^y the principal cities in
Texas. In the mean time, the rebel representatives

The Assassins and their Accessories.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York World gives the following list of persons
who are under arrest and likely to be convicted
for direct participation with the great assaasination.
"
1. Spangler, the stage carpenter of Ford's
Theatre, will most probably suffer the extreme
penalty of the law.
2. "Sara" Arnold of Baltimore, better
known as the author of a letter signed "Sara,"
who undertook to pilot and agreed to do it,
i 1-*?'? j k.-o r0;i_
auu 03CKCU uui m iun i/uu ucbauug ui uiu waiting
courage, will also suffer death* He was a
conspirator, but not bold enough to be an assassin.
3. Capt. Willie Jett, found at Bowling
,Green, who took Booth behind him on his
horse, thus facilitating his escape, will run a
close chance for his neck. Ho cither did or
did not recognize in Booth the assassin, and if
so, woe Co him 1
4. Atzroth or Alzjgwtt, but whose name in
his own execrable chfrography I have copied
from the registry at Kirkwood's Hotel as "G.
A. Atzerodt, Charles County, Mel., 126 B,"
will bo hung positively. He is a murderer by
instinct and temperament. His face is a stand
iU? LW.1HVWV-.
5. Mrs. Surratt wilj suffer the full penalty
or her crime. As Booth was the master, so
was she the mistress, conspirator. She is bold
and cruel and deserves to die.
6. McLangh Ian, a friend and confederate of
Booth, will die for conspiracy without
courage.
7. Dr. Mndd, residing near Bryantown,
may buffer death for his timidity. He set
B'm.ji'i's .'eg oa Saturday morning, and never
m i:fi..nc-l it till Sunday night. Jin may not
lt:< -e v cognized Booth, and may not, as ho
say--, have heard of the murder. But he

the war, accorded to all classes; nor can he for- -H
get the dignity of his Governmernt and 3
his own dignity as its representative, in dealingwith
those who either sccretely or openly
scoff at those sacred principles. .
