Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 1865.
'DEER GAZETTE—Yesterday, duty and
not'inclination, called me to witness the exe-
cution of another prominent character in
the dire rebellion which has desolated thou-
sands of hearts and homes in this fair land.
The Andersonville monster, Wirz, expiated
on the gallows the horrible crimes of mur-
der and cruelty, of which, after a long and
patient'tria'l, he was convicted. The metro-
politan press has given all the details with
almost a sickening minutiae, and I shall not
stop to repeat them. Suffice it to say that
.Wirz marched from his apartments in the
‘OldCapitol to the prison yard and up the
scafi‘oldwith a firm step and manner, entire-
ly ffee from emotion or even nervousness.
Indeed, he appeared very much better than
at anytime I had seen him during. his long
and tedious trial. The conviction of every
spectator of that painful scene undoubtedly
was, that he richly merited the punishment,
and yet" I confess ,I could not n'd myself of
the conviction that, monster of cruelty and
brutality as he was proven to have been,
nevertheless he was but the debased, suppli-
ant tool _of those grand arch-conspirators,
Davis, Lee, and the like, who as yet have
gone unConvicted and unhung. And if the
popular force of this execution shall be to
increase the clamor for a speedy trial of
these Great Captains of the rebellion, some
good at least will result from this miserable
wretch’s execution.
In reference to the trial of Davis, it has
leaked Outthat the Cabinet is divided in its
opinion as to the proper mode of trial. ~An
influential minority it is said, sides with the
President in the desire that he should be
tried before the civil courts at Richmond.
The major number deem it preferable that
he should be tried by military tribunal, as
so many lesser traitors have already been
for less crimes. Chief Justice Chase, it is
claimed against him, does not desire to try
him at all, and will not, if he can avoid it.
On the other hand his friends aflirm that he
declines to try the ease in Richmond while
martial law prevails there, and the functions
the civil courts necessarily more or less re-
strained thereby. Again it is affirmed that he
has had anintimation from thePresident that
he should be tried and convicted and then,
he (the President) would commute his sen~
.tence' by expatriition, and that his reply
‘ is, he is not willing to go through a three
month’s laborious, vexatious and expensive
trial which is to eventuate in a farce. Thus .
is the'Davis trial made- the shuttle-cock of
rumor and thus it will doubtless proceed,
tillafter Congress meets and something new
is developed by its policy or the rapid un-
folding of events.
The President has been more than delight-
ed over the avalanche of Republican victo-
ries of the past week. The Copperhead
stock in him, so freely taken a few months
sinCe, is now very far below par, and every
day’s developments of the popular Will,
must only the more confirm him of-‘the inev-
itable decay and destruction of thelast ves-
tiges of a disloyal, country-hating Democra-
cy. , B.

Thanksgiving.
The Governors of Maine, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, have chang-
ed the day appointed for Thanksgiving in
their respective States, to December 7th,
the ,day-of the National Festival. It. is an
occasion when New England may, for once,
righteously change her ancient customs and
bring the period of home re-union for her .
households, in accord with the day which
celebrates the reunion of the nation. ‘
. *1.
The Fall Elections.
. The result of the recent Elections in New
York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Mary-
land, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minneso-
ta, and Nevada, is conclusive eyidence of the
determination of the people tolconduct the
government in accordance with the princi-
ples established by the Presdential election
of 1864. There can be no fbrther mistakeas
to the hearty concurrence of the nation in
the overthrow of the doctrine of secession,
and the practice of slavery, and in the policy
of the Administration, which looks to the
ultimate eradication of the existing distinc-
tion between the political capacities of dif-
ferent classes of citizens, on the ground of
differences of lineage or complexion. Ev-
ery effort of the party, which for four years
has affiliated with treason, has been met and
triumphantly defeated, and patriotic men
can now hopefully look forward to a. new ca-
reer'of prosperity and honor- for the whole
country. Even in the Southern States, the
wisest and best citizens agree in sentiment
with the President and his Cabinet as to the
necessity of according the full exercise of
civil rights to all classes of citizens as rapid-
ly as the circumstances of the country will
allow, and if the party, which has just been
so signally defeated, chooses to be crushed
beneath the wheels of human progress, it
has only to continune the besotted course
which it has pursued for the past few years.
In the meantime, let genuine Republicans
rejoice with thankfulness at the brightening
prospects of our beloved land. Peace and
unity of feeling are returning in every section,
with arapidity unexampled in the history of
nations. We are one people from the Lakes
to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific, and the time has at last fairly arrived
when all national distinctions are being ob-
literated in the grand unity of Amer'man
citizenship.

axation of National Bank
Shares. ,
The Legislature of this State enacted at 1
its last session, that the sharesin the Na- 3
tional Banks-should be taxed like the shares ‘
in other Banks, and that the Cashiers of the
former should make returns of the owners
of such shares to the Assessors of the sev-
eral towns wherein such owners reside. The
latter duty is personal upon the Cashiers
and it is their plain obligation to obey the
laws of the State. . If the shareholders ob-
jectto being taxed, it is for them to make
the point and try the issue when the Collect.-
or makes his appearance.
It would seem thatthe above is too plain
for mistake, but we regret to learn that a
combination, suggested by some of the City
Bank managers, is being made among the'
:National Banks, for the purpose of compell-
ing their Cashiers to attempt a practi-
cal nullification of the law. The pretence
for thisaction is the claim that the shares
in the National Banks stand upon the same
footing with the U. S. Bonds, issued during
the war, and exempted by Act of Congress
from State and municipal taxation. It is a.
sufficient answer to this claim that there is
no act of Congress which affords such ex-
emption to these shares; and the attempt to
confound the latterwith the former iii the
public mind, can only result in injury to the
interest of all parties. Bank shares are not
Government bonds, no matter how lunch the
owners of the former might wish that they
were, and every unprejudiced mind will
perceive that the Banks will inflict- much
harm upon themselves and their sharehold-
ers by these nullifying combinations.
As We said before, if a shareholder wishes
tocon‘test the right of the State, to tax his
shares, let him do so; but to compel a share-
holder who justly thinks himself bound to
pay his tax, and is willing to do so, to be-.
come a party to a suit against, the Bank
Cashiers, against his will, and where the
final result can only be disastrous, is alto-
gether wrong. We trust that our country
National Banks will avoid the proposed
combination, and permit their cashiers to
make ’ e returns required by law. If
any shareholder desrres to. contest the au-
thority of the State to tax his shares, he will
then have full opportunity to do, so.

Mr. Greeley’s Lecture.
The HON. HORACE GREELEY is to deliver
his lecture on “Self~niade Men,” at Lock-
wood’s Hall, this (Tuesday) evening. From
'the title of the lecture, we presume it is in
"no wise political, and therefore that men of
'all parties can listen to him, as a “self-made
man” talk for an hour on that subject, with
satisfaction and benefit to themselves. We
do not doubt, but that setting the literary
merit aside, many will be influenced to at-
tend by- the simple curiosity of seeing the
“celebrated” "white coated philosopher,”
and the “best abused man in the United
States,” and that they will feel satisfied after
seeing him, that whatever else he may be,
he is not only a self-made but an Honest
Man. ~

@The following is abrief sketch of the
career of Wirz, who was hung Friday last.
The sketch was received from. his own lips
by agentlcnian who visited him Wednes-
day:
“I was bornin Zurich, Switzerland ;came
to the United States in 1849. at which time
I was unable to speak English. I tried to
obtain a position as assistant to some physi-
cian, but failed. Landed in New York City
afterward went to Connecticut, from which
State I went to Lawrence, Mass, where I
was engaged in a. shawl factory. After re-
maining there for several years, went to
Kentucky where I married. I afterwards
went to Philadelphia, and thence to a plan-
tation in Louisiana, where I was employed
asa physician. I remained there until the
breaking out of the rebellion,when I enlisted
in an independent company as private ;was
afterward made clerk of the Richmond pris-
ons. I was soon after made Captain and
Assistant Adjutant General on Winder’s
staff;was wounded at Fair Oaks (the wound
from which he now suffers;) was then made
provost marshal of Manchester, Va.,, was
then sent on an inspecting tour of the pris-
ons in the South.
“In 1863 I went to Europe for the benefit
of my health, where I remained three or
four months ; on my return I was put in
charge of Andersonvillc, Git, until the Con-
federacy bul'sted up. I admit that prisoners
were brutally treated, but dcnie that I am
the guilty party ; I have never shot a man in
my life. '

that State have declared the Rebel debt to
be illegal, and that the State seems to de-
cline to ratify the Constitutional‘ Amend-
ment abolishing slavery. This, and the re-
ply of the President to the North Carolina
delegates,seems to indicate very clearly that
there is to be no hurry in admitting the late
Rebel States to renew their old relations to

provisional governmen until they have fully

The reading ended, he stood up, and Ma-
jor Russell, turning toward him, offered him
his hand, saying he commiserated his fate,

NEW YORK.
The Union men of the Empire State, have
sent Slocum, Robinson & 00., for up Salt
River. '
Barlow, (union) for Secretary of State, has
a majority of about 28,000! the rest of
the State Ticket about the same. Gen. Bar-
low has repeated his Spottsylvania exploit,
there it will be remembered, he captured
several rebel generals and a whole division
of Lee's army, this time he captured three
Generals and. the whole Copperhead party
of the state. He certainly has a very “ta-
king way."
MASSACHUSETTS.
The old Bay State, as usual is all one way,
and that of course is for the Union. Bul-
.loek, Union, for Governor, has about 75,000
votes, to Couch,Dem., 25,000. Gen. Banks
is elected to Congress in the Sixth District
to fill a vacancy.
NEW JERSEY.
In this State, from time immemorial con-
ceded to the DemOcracy and the Camden &
Amboy Railroad Company, the Unionists
under the lead of the brave and dashing
General Kilpatrick, (Sherman’s great Caval-
ry leader) made a determined, vigorous and
successful fight; canvassing the State thor-
oughly, they made great gains everywhere,
and elected their Governor MARCUS L.
WARD, by nearly 4,000 majority over
Gen. Bunyan. They also elect all their
State ticket and a majority,of the Legisla-
ture, thus ensuring the ratification of the U
S. Constitutional Amendment, and the pos-
sible election of a U. S. Senator in place of
Hon. John P. Stockton, copper. '
All hail New Jersey, we welcome her into
the Union and feel assured that, with her
past experience in view,she will never more
wander from the fold. '
MARYLAND.
An election was held in the 11d Congres-
sional District to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of the Hon. E. H. Webster,
(Union), with the following result. Thomas,
U., 4,677, Kimmel, D., 950.
ILLINOIS.
The county elections in this State on the
7th inst, resulted as far as heard from, with
few exceptions in the success of the Union
candidates. The Union majority in Chicago
county, amounted to about 5,000.

TEE TREASON TRIAD—It now appears
that the delay in trying Jeff. Davis, has aris-
en from the difficulty of deciding where the
trial can be held. The President thinks it
should be in Virginia, but Judge Chase does
not consider that it can properly be had in
that State under present circumstances,while
the State is under martial law, and the Dis-
trict Court is, at best but imperfectly organ-
ized. As soon as this question can be set-(
' led the trial will be commenced.
¢<O>s
WGenerals Logan and Kilpatrick were
seen walking up the Bowery together, the
other day. A friend inquired where they
were going. “To Baldwin’s Clothing Depot,
Nos. 70 and 72 Bowery," was the reply. “Is
that the place where Jeff. Davis ordered his
new overcoat f” asked their friend, laughing.
“No, sir," said General Logan in his emphat-
ic manner, “Baldwin has enough to do in
furnishing clothes for Union men, and can
spare neither time nor cloth for traitors.”
The two Generals and their friend then en-
tered Baldwin’s store and ordered new full
suite.

Ancient Fine Arts.
To the Editor of the New York Herald.
Respecting the relics of porcelain ware found in
the late exhumations at Herculaneum, which have
been forwared to the Society of Antiquities in Lon-
don, whereof your correspondent says the bottle re-
sembling Drake’s Plantation Bitters was undoubt-
edly placed among the ruins by the agent of Dr.
Drake, we desire to state that he is incorrect in ev-
ery respect. If a bottle was found there bearing our
lettering, the language of the Ancient Romans was
different from the accepted literature of that day.
Our Agent has other business than this in EurOpe v
and has not been in Italy at all. No doubt Ameri’
cans carry Plantation Bitters to Rome: but trying
to impose upon a society of Antiquarians in thisway
seems quite needless, and we do not appreciate the
joke, It is unnecessary for us to spend money in
Europe while we are unable to supply the demand
for these celebrated Bitters here.
Respectfully P. H. Drake & Co.
