WASHINGTON, May ll.-It is nude:
stood that the Senate Committee on Di

abandon Marr il l's amendment; while tl

the whole matter will be dropped, ac
that the decision of the Supreme Cou
will govern.

caaes in whioh pardon had been grant?
or amnesty taken. The only queston
will the Substitute for tho Morrill amei
ment, reported by the House Judioii
Committee, and adopted by the Hon
by a very large majority, be agreed
by the Conference Committee. 1
effect of the Morrill amendment ia
look in the Treasury the amounts
whioh judgments have been entered
the oonrts, under the Supreme Court
cisi?n. The effect of the substit
from the House will be to
these judgments, and to require
Secretary of the Treasury, under rn
to adjudicate tho claims for cotton sei
after Jane 1, 1865. In caso no actio
taken by the Conference Commit
both the Morrill amendment and
House substitute fail, and the Supn
Court decision fixes the status of oh
ants as to all cotton seized before J
21,1865. AU other oases stand as bef
. The land to pay these claims is in
Treasury, and held intrust for the oh
ants. It amounts to near $25,000,
of which $10,000,000 is barred by
statute ot limitation, Judge Loohraoe,

working for their clients. There is a

attention from all sections of the conn

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-Mrs. Susan
B. Stokes, who was living at the resi?
dence of her son, John H. Stokes, Esq.,
near Lunenburg Court House, met with
a most deplorable fate last Sunday week.
One of ber grand-danghters left her up
stairs, sitting up in a chair before the
fire, and went down to dinner. Some
hours afterwards, the scent of something
burning attracted the attention of a
member of the family, and on ascending
the stairs to her room, imagine the inde?
scribable horror in finding all her hair
and clothes burnt off, and tho chair in
whioh she was sitting badly burnt. Dr.
Henry May was immediately summoned
to her assistance, but arrived only in
time to see her breathe her last. Mrs.
Stokes was about eighty years of age,
had been paralyzed for some time, and
was partially deaf and dumb; hence her
inability to signal her situation.

TUE RATE OF INTEHEST-THE STORM
SIGNAL-Tho Boston Traveller presents
some sober thoughts on the prevailing
> high rate of interest-the rate of ten to
twelve per cent, being uniform through?
out the country, tho great money centres,
Boston and New York, alono excepted.
This journal says: "The gradually in?
creasing rate of interest should make
people wary of borrowing money for
speculative purposes, and especially of
hiring it for the purchase of unproduc?
tive property, or in the expectation of
obtaining permanently high rents. It
is tho high rate of interest which evory
feT years causes a general breaking up
of business, when property aud products
fall in prioe. This also it is which causes
wealth gradually but steadily to concen?
trate into the hands of comparatively a
few persons in the community. Take
any series of ten, twenty or thirty years,
or moro, and the longer tho series,
the moro positive and conclusive be?
comes the evidence of the fact, and it
will be seen that the most profitable
business in the world is tho lending of
money. Tho high rate of money, high
taxes and high rents must, in the course
of a few years, tend to such a concentra?
tion of wealth us cannot fail to be inju?
rious to society, and will ultimately so
straiten the debtor classes as to necessi?
tate to a very great extent tho process of
wiping out old accounts and beginning
anew."
In our own section, tho rate of inte?
rest is such that no mau eau afford to
borrow money, except for a speculative
purpose. No man in regular business
can afford to pay from fifteen to twenty
per cent, per annum, or return to the
lender a sum as interest, equal to tho
whole amount borrowed, and tho princi?
pal beside, in four or five years. Sooner
or later, there will be a collapse, and we
four with much suffering.
ADVENTURES OF FIVE LIUERAII REPUB?
LICANS,-Five liberal colored Republi?
cans passed through Fredericksburg en
route to the Cincinnati Convention.
They were very "liberal" at the depot,
treating promiscuously. Free drinks,

were muoh "uplifted," and felt them?
selves and the importance of their mis?
sion and position-and tho whiskey also.

Washington some "mean, poor white
Grant niggers" went for them, and "got"
them and made them drunk, and put

them to do so.
RAILROAD FARE TO TUB DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION.-We are informed that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
in view, of the faot that Baltimore has
been selected as the place for holding
the Demooratio National Convention on
the 9tb of July, hat already arranged,
throngh its Western connections, to
issue tickets to and from Baltimore at
one fare for the round trip. Doubtless
every facility will be afforded for all
oom er s at that time; and our other lines
of transport will doubtless imitate the
example so promptly set by the Balti?

A letter from Shanghai states that the
toleration of Christians has been decreed
in Japan. It also gi rca the history of
the attack made by Chinese wreckers on
an American who sought to recover
somo stranded lumber. Wrecking in
China is simple piracy. Villages are
established to carry on the business.
The most interesting part of the letter
is that which gives an abstract of the
story of Baron Riehtipen, concerning the
recent Mohammedan rebellion against
Chinese authority in Shensi, Kausuh

A Southern delegate being asked yes?

in the South, said he was recognized
there as the friend of both blacks and
