CONSPIRACY 10 HANG JEFF DAVIS, More Evidence Implicating Judge Advo- cate General Holt. BBTTERS CF THE SUBORNED WITNESSES. « Flutter in Washington Over the Exposure. &e, CORRESPONDENCE OF THE KEW YORK HERALD. 4, Wasmneton, Sept, 11, 1866. / Mhe recent disciosures by the Heraxp of important # Stato secrets supposed to be beyond the ken of the most © — egterprising journalist, among which may be mentioned who'truo reason of Secretary Stanton’s retention in the Datinct im face of the President’s desire to be rid of him, an@the oxposur® of outrageous corruptions and plots of ‘ots the conspirators be- ke, &eo. mgfeal off Iders, whiea Newed to be in for example, the con- spirecy of the Jadge 6 General with other radi- cals to proonre the t means of bogus wity ve not oply onhanced the demand for the H«xsup here, a3 unquestionably they bavd done elsewhere, bnt have occasioned @ great Geai of spec on and wonderment as to how your correspondents, in advance, and in some cases to the exclusion of thelr contemporaries, obtained the antefligence imparted by them, and have caused more than one prominent official a nervous apprehension, if ‘ono may judge from the anxious manner in which all wean the columns devoted to Washington news the mo- mont the Huratp reaches their hands, that on gome un- fortunate day their own delinquencies will be ventilated. ‘The exposure of the conepiracy against Davie and the publication of a portion of the correspondence growing out of the plot between Judge Advocate Geaeral Holt, Sandford Conover and the suborned witneseea, preduced m officials and in the public departments here the most profound astonishment, and occasioned among the con- gpirators, or such of them as were in the city, a spell of eonsternation bordering on frenzy. As soon as they re- alized tho position in which their wicked and infamous condnct had placed thom, the guilty parties began, like Gassio, to w r roputation, and supplicating good Laverna for aid to cover np their cheats and frauds, ought to devise racacures by which thelr reputation might be saved, The Judge Advocate wert Kought consolation and windicati-- wFOUgh the W. Ohvonicle, Ths axtond Forney, be was aware, was well versed in the business of cuborning witnosses, and would be better quatified than any other man to defend one accused of subornation, The elaborate defence, if defence it can be called, submitted in bis behalf by the Chronicle, is a very reinarkablo one, but in Nore:port more remarkable than fm the compliment it wawillingly pays the Henan, It confirms throughout the allegations of your corre pond- ent that an atrocious gcheme Aad been con’ to pro. eure falve evidence implicating Davis in the assassination dent, and that in pursuance of said scheme ¢ had been enborned by an agent ef the government to make, and did make, falco doyosiions in tho interest of the radi eals and the Bureau of Miliary Justice, and were pesjury owt of the national Treasury, This ied, it ig a wiattor of inferior importance to the public whether Judge Holt, or Sandford Conover, @r Silver Spoons Ratier, or Thad Stevens, or Forney him- self, or any othor radical originated or took the leading part in the conspiracy, or whether Conover or any of the others play od on both sides, or fnally turned traitor. Having thorouchly ventilated the conaptracy, and thus Prevented the infernal machinations of the conspirator we might perhaps, w 1 recreancy to the public in- brests, dicmwiss the entire subject here, leaving those tmplicaced in the intamons business to offer such ex- Planations ant apolvirs as they deem proper, and settle @mong theinselves who of their number is most criminal, and the degroe of odium they severally deserve—non Rostrum et (antas compere lites; but the defence, oF more sisictly speaking, tho extenuation, offered by the Chronicle in behalf of Judge Holt is so ridiculous, as a Uttle criticism: will demonstrate, that it seems more ap- propriate to besiow on it a passing observation, Itty not enongh to say of this remarkable production mont parturivir, naterque est ridiculus mus, It is very Nke a monse, to be sure, but it has neither head nor tail, and has no logs to stand on, Any oue familiar with con- troversial obstetrics, if Tay follow the simile, will Oud every word and lino diagnostic of premature and forced partirition produced by kicks and fright; and the resuit, oe may see, is not even a mouse, which might have expected from so lofty a parent, but a miserablo abortion. After admitting all the material facts stated by your apondent the Chronict: takes the novel ground that 0 conspiracy, which has been exposed, to hang Jeit via was in reality aconspiracy by Davis’ friends to = reputation of Judge Holt, and defame the jureau of Military Justice. In other words that Conover swho was employed by Holt to collect evidence implicat- fHg Davis in ihe assassination of Lincoln, and who in ace of such agency produced several witnesses whe ‘positively to Davis’ guilt, was in fact the latter's nd, and performed this service for the irpose of aidmg him and injuring the reputation of judge Holt, It is certainly a novel way of benoliting QD accused party, to suborn @ horde of villains togtestify against him; and it is equally as novel a way of showing hostility to the prosecuting officer, to furnish him with such testimony. And can it be possibie that Conover, a e@pecial correspondent of the New York Tribune, and an fmportant witaess for the sovermmant on the trial of the pmo was a friend of Davis anda traitor? It is im- We do not overlook the fact that Judge Holt assured the Jndiciary Committee that he bad no part in suborn- Jog the witnoases; that when he took their depositions Be bolieved they wore speaking nothing but the trath, and that if they wore bogus and swore falsely ver alone was at fault. But will this assurance, in face of ‘the correspondence and the undisputed and admitted facts heretofore published in the Herau, satin’y the me of the Judge Advocate General’s innocence? king at the position in which he was st what or what else could he be expect to have sald, if guilty? Hts reputation, as Caso de- je of his ‘immortal part,’’ was at etake, ond ean it suppored that if guilty, if unscrupulous and reckless enough to enter into the conspiracy he would be too good, or would hesitate to declare and, if necessary, to ewear himerelf innocent? Surcly ali he bas said and done in vindication of himself is at jeast as consistent with the Sheory of bis quilt as that of his innocence, The public, Abereforc, will judge betwoon his professions of inno- gence before the Judiciary Committee, and his letters to Conover in connection with the letters of the latter, and Several Of the boeus witnesses, already published in the Heraip. The Chronicle admite—because it dared not deny \t-the authenticity of the letters ascribed to Judge Holt, but declares that the others written by Conover and other agents, and Campbell and other Dogus witndbses, in everyihing they contain calling fm question the integrity and fairness of ita client {e wholiy and maliciously false, Now it happens that al the letters published m ‘this connection, from those of ‘the Judge Advocate General to those of the bogus wit- Besos, came to the hands of your correspondent at the me time, through the gamo mediam, and that they all rexternal evidence not to be questioned of their enuinenesa, and there ig no reason whatever to dou he truth and accuracy of thetr contents, And tre may romark here, in reply to an insInuation of the Chronicle, ay indebted to Conover for fhe docu- ts or information we have furnished, agd that tat sno doubt ns greatly smrprived, and ta a9 annoyed by our exposure as Judge Holt himself, , £8 there is good reason for believing, Me bas fora sonted to bo a scapegoat for the Ju But suppose wo ithdraw n by Judge Holt’ from ¢on- of that official the as of the bogus witness withdrawn frou @ Consideration of the Jud Comruities, are Bot his own on with tho ed.

Very respectfutly, your obedient servant, J. HOLT, Judre Advocate General, Here we shall leave the subject, with the simple re- mark that tho mission of Campbell referred to in Jud Holt’s letter was the cndeavor to suborn a witness in s Albans, who refused to ‘setl his soul’ for less t $3,000, as shown in my letter Of the 6th ultimo, and was, on account of the high price demanded, not taken. TRA ZURPF. The Jerome Park Races. The inauguration of the Jerome Park, under the aus- pices of the American Jockey Club, will take place on Tuesday next, whea a galaxy of high iettlod racers will be brought together the like of which was never before seen on the American turf. The “inauguration race,’ which is for a purse of $5,000, four milo heats, for which Kentucky, Asterold, Qnward, Fieetwing, Julius and twenty-four othors are entered, will, if no other horses start besides thoso named, be one of the greatest events that has taken placo in this country, Kentucky is the recognized champion of the North, having won overy race in which he has been engaged since the first Jersey Derby; and he has defeated every horse that ho bas ran against with tho greatest ease. His defeat in the Jersey Derby was attributed toa want of condition; but wo have doubts about his beating the winner on that occasion— Novfolk—1f he ‘hed been never so well on that day. After that race Kentucky ‘mproved in form and conquered ali comers to tho present lime, Asteroid, the champion of the West, and a horse that has never had a competitor tn all his conflicts that has been able to make him extend himself to the full, will try conciusions with Kentucky on this occasion, and @ desperate race between them is naturally antici- pated, Then there is Onward, who must uot be consid- ered too lightly, as ho is a horse of great speed, and Fleetwing, who ts considered the greatest “sticker” on the turf, with a most dangerous way of going; while Julius, by his great performance at Saratoga Inst sum- mor, where he foreed Kentucky home in a four mile dash in 7:31}4, 8 considered by many the commg horse. The four mile race, however, is only one of a numbcr of good ones that are announced to take piace; and from the well known capabilities of all the horses now in training good fields and fino running must be the resuit, Subjoined is a list of the horses at presont in training at Jerome Park :— Joun Huster, with A.

THE WORKING WOMEN OF NEW YORK. cerrpernarennenrienes Their Cendition—The Werkiug Women’s Pro- tective Union—Its Objects and Results—Pro- jects tor the Advancement of the Cansey a&o. ‘The glaring necessity of amendment in the condition of the working women of this city has for some years past attracted the attention aud ealisted the sympathies, of course, of the more philanthropic and humane of our wealthy citizens, who have from time to time sought to engage, the attention of fomale workers in their own behalf, for their own mutual advancement, and tho alleviation of grievances, which, because never tho- roughly investigated and set forth, had held their sway and seemed to be the inherent lot of the mass of working women, Thoir absolute wrongs were many and exceed- ingly hard to bear; and without any organization among themselves there could not possibly be any method of general redress, While workingmen formed leagues, unions and societies for the assertion and pro- tection of their rights, the women still plodded silently on in their wearying efforts to obtain, through ill compensated labor, a livelihood for themselves and those dependent on them, as in the case of widows and others upon whom devolved the care of those who were unable, through extreme youth, age ‘Sr sickness, to provide for their own necessities, The appeals or remonstrances of these women wer? made ia- dividually to their employers who in most cases refused to make tho concessions sought, and not unfrequenily summarily dismissed tho applicant, They were as a mass, without any recognized head or source? of autho- rity, assistance or redress, each individual struggling through wildernesses of trouble, without chart or com. pasa, and besides this they were, of all, tho ones most needing guidance and sympathy in their efforts to ob- tain for themselves hones, methods of living, They were overworked and poorly paid, so poorly that many by almost scporhuman efforts, could not procure even the common necessaries of life; they were beset by tho thousand temptations always exposed to the poor in large cities, to satisy the cravings of the body by sacriflemg the purity of the soul, Gnawed by hunger, pinched by cold, driven to desperate alterna- tives, and worked incessantly for the pittance that just kept the flicker of life within them, they toiled on—somo falling sby the wayside, others pressing heroically ou, looking ferward with anxious hopes and yearnings for better days, for the boon promised by Him who eaid: “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavyfladen, and I will give you rest.”? ‘This state of attairs was considerably incroased during the war, and the number of those who were compelled to accep: this ill-pad Jabor was augmented as the con- test was prolonged, owing to the losing of husbands, brothers aud sons by those who had hithert deponde: upon them for matnien ANOTAR' GRIEVANCE to which a large proportion of these women are sub- jected is the difficulty of obtaining boarding houses, With moderate comforts, for a moderate componsation, such as they are able to pay, Large numbers of board- ing house proprietors rofuse to take unmarried women ‘as boardurs under any circumstances, and very fow will take tnem if they can get mate boarders Instead, This subjects thom to a great deal of inconvenience, and, not unfrequently, to painfal and distressing imputations of character when m quest of accommodations, Though many of the ils which they were formeriy — sub- fected to have been to some extent ameliorated, they find that much bas yet to be done to render their condition proportionately as com- fortable aa that of the workiugmen. Large numbers of these women, by the most asciduoas application to business, aro unable io cura more than $5 or $5 50 per week, aud of this amoant thoy are obliged to pay at least $3 50 per weok for board, and the houses where accommodation can be ob- tained at tais prico being so few a considerable nutuber are compelled to occupy houses where they pay from $4 to $5 per week, leaving, as will be scon, a meagre margin for tho procurement of clothing and other necessaries. ‘THE NUMBE OF WOBN AND YOUNG GIRLS employed in the various. manufacturing pursuits in this city is est'mated as approximating, in round nambers, thirty-five cuousand, fais numerous corps may bo di- vided into classes of widows with families of ciuldven, widows without children, orphan girls and bail orphans, and the sometimes more fortunate class of girls who have both parents tiving. Asaclass tho widows with families aud the half orphans are usually those most noed- ing sympathy, This sympathy, with a considerable amount of assistance was soazht to be rendered to them, when in the fall avd winter ef 1863 and 1864 a number of our most Influential citizens took active steps for the organization of the WORKING WOMEN’S PROTPCTIYE UNION, On tho 13th day of beatin fs 1864, ihe rooms of the association, then located at No, 4 New Chambers street, were opened for the prosecution of this most laudable enterprise, This association was orvanized for the com- mou bonofit of afl those wo;nen who obtain a livelibood by other omploy ment than household services and seck that benefit. First.—Be securing legal protection from frauds and impo- sitions free of expense. Serond,—By appeals, respectfully but urgently made, to em- ployera, for wages proportioned to the cost of living, and for Such shortening of the hours of labor an is due to health and 6 requirements of household nifaira, Third. —By seeking new and appropria in departments aot now occupied by th Fourth.—by sustaining a regiviry system, through which those out of work may be assisted in fuding employ ment. * FUUL.—By appe: the community at large for that sym- pathy and support which is due to the otherwise defenceless condition of working women, ‘The association consists of such porsons and the presi- dents of such socictios as contribute $10 or more sanu- aily Lo its support, Ite oflicere are elected anavally; and its constitution is drawn in a cordance with the five ob- fecis above set forth, An idea may be formed of the hecessity for such an organization and of the favorable Opinion beid of it by the class which i+ i# imbtynded to Gs-tet, from the roportof the superintendent, which shows that in the first tea months of its operation six tiou- sand four hundreo and twenty-two applications for em- ployment were received from femates residing in New ‘ork und the cities and towns fn 1s immediate vicinity, Of course all applicants are not, nov ca: be, tur- nished with employment—local objections, such as the distance to the plice of employimeut, rato of componea- tion or unsuitableness of employment, being frequently tryed. Tue whole number of persons registered on the books of the union as having been farnished employ. Inent from the date of its organization to the present time is seven thousand two hundred and thirteen. 'Theso varied in age considerably, raaging from Uwvelvo or thirteen years tv upwards of seventy, were of all religious denominations and a variety of nationali+ tes, There is littie doubt that the sphere of useful. ness of the association might be materialy extended if its practical workings wero more gencraliy understood and tested by the mass of working women, many of whom, considering ita sort of charitable institution, aud fool- ing that in availing themselves of jig benefits they would be receiving a public charity, have never. through this Supposiiion, taken to themselves a sare of the Lenefite it is capayie and anxious to bestow, “The Union, though supported entirely by private contributions, is in no s°nse a charity,” and the managers state that they. do not wish it to be considercd as such, but rather as aa institution where thoso in seareh of labor may be ad- vised and directod, If possibie, where to outain it, uot, nor can they be, applied to alfordin ‘are not, nor can they be, applied to alfor pecani relief, and though the saperiutendont is thease at all times to afford the assistance and protection of the Union to such as apply for iis bevodta, “sh cannot en- courage any who expe t to oxist without laboring for what they receive, 6 number of ‘TRADES LN WHICH WOMEN ADE EMPLOYED inthis city appear to be about one hundred, and of these upwards of sixty are represented on the books of the Union. A great proportion of the applicants aro sewing machine operators and clothing makers, and tho latter especially seem to bo, as a rule, the class suilering most from inequivalent compensation, An atmy blouse is on exhibition at the rooms of the Union made by an e and rapid workwoman, who stated that she re- ceived twenty-two cents for making it, and by working hard could wake two of them per fiy? thus earning in a hard "s labor about the price of a ‘pound of meat and a loaf of bread. Anotior instance ia furnished of @ woman who, at the timo of tho organization of the Union, made drawera at six con's por pair. A fast worker could make about six pairs per day, yiolding thirty-six conis as the proceeds of the day's labor. This woman was about seventy-five years of ago, aud made her hving by the needle, Another wointn inarkod, baisted and stitched on a sowing machine sovonty-fve tucks, each a yard in Tengen, occupying two days, and received “for it eoventy Ave conta, and this work was neatly and correctly dove. ‘These are ouly instances of thousands, those being the rogular prices paid by tho estabilshwents giving this work. Thore is no disputing the fact that female iabor receives the poorest compensation In ths ae well as other countries, Bat profits wore undoubiedty realized from the poorest paid labor, viz., the making of army clothing daring the war; but those prodis did not dad their way to the hovel Of the weary scamsiross, but to the palace of tho shoddy prince, that bis carriage might flash and flicker through the mazy drives of our great park, ‘the people's pleasure ground,” to which that weary seamstress, ono Of “ihe people” might nover find the tine for a walk, Another of the benefits derived from the Working. women's Protective Onion by such as have beou obliged to have recourge to It, on Ubis socount, is the LEAAL PROTECTION afforded by it, ta those women, whom unscrupntous em- ployers sometimes attewpt to ‘btutl”’ and defraud out of theit hart ecaraed pittance, This grievance was not uncommon, find” before the ‘oreanization of the assoclation, they almost fmvariably sucermbed to tho will of the employer, from an inolility on their part to defray the expenses of a suit at law, This unpleasant duty is now disebarged for them by the Union, of oxpouse, and bas resulted in compel tho payment of wages fairly earned to several by applicants, In many Cases on @ mere intimation on tho Wd ha ay Ad they re ancy commence fy 80 parties have disgorged, and made matters raight 1A number of complaluta, aleo, upon examination, were found to be without just reason, owing, in some oe) to the inferior quality of tho work performed ; and tn all such cases the Union refuses to take any This course of proceedi bas reavited in ad bi Sat ncn emai aes tence tee Sor aee eet pee tee et dono unto others."* =r : ing featreot haere pt fina thcywonorter ge fo varied and ive, an raluabl give he fsa ati in the selection of books for wtoalfig our eome the ween win 4 : 7OMEN'S BOARDING HOUSES é ti jon. Be aprobanly LJ troduced by the rs 6 Uni Japs ly a3 substantial a bel ‘as could be proposed f if carried out on the principles as pt and eecnied by_ the associatic They ee epee one house in operation under thetr'ansploss, where it is the intention to furnish clean and comfortable apartments, with wholesome ond pleasant diet, at as reasonable rates as the state of the markets will allow, without attempt- ing to do more than make the establishment self-sustain- ing, or nearly so. Efforts will shortly be made to estab- lish two or tliree others on this principle, and undoubtedly imuch good may be done through these means, a3 in the case of many of the roo operatives, whose parents Jead dissolute lives, they will be enabled, if they choose, to obtain a home, where the blighting and pernicious examples of those who should feel some regard for their ofsprines’ welfare will not be continually befor? them, In these establishments it is proposed so to regulate the cost of living as to place it within the power of any class ‘of female operatives to maintain themselves there. Tho prico must necessarily be low, as it 1s estimated that the average earniags of New York workingwomen do not exceed $5 per week. This is probably a lower stagdard then that of a other place, and there is at present little prospect of any improvement in this respect. Of course it cannot reasonably be supposed that employers will pay a larger price for work than what they can get it properly done for, and, from appearances, ail the other manufacturing States seem to havo a softiciency of female labor, The Union bas been and still ts occasionally cailed upon for help for other Sales, but this is more of an individual than a venoral demand.

Mowrnaat, C. E., Sept. 19, 1866, To-day all the regular force in this city was ordered to prepare for review, the design being to do Geveral Meade honor for tho faithful execution of his duties during the late attack upon the Province, The ground chosen for the review is the old Champs de Mars, which, one bundred years ago or more, was used by the French as their parade ground, Itis about four hundred yards long, by one hundred and fifty wide, and lies in the heart of the city, forming @ little platean on the rear elope of the first one of the two otes which, with the hollow between them, constitute the site of their city. There are two banks, the one stepping as it were from Notre Damo street to the Champa, and the other from the ground to Craig street. On the first bank have been laid steps, which can serve as seats for the peopie who come to look upon any military pageant such as that of to-day. ‘At ten o'clock the troops began to march into the Champa, and in twenty minutes they were all there. The force consisted of two batteries (twelve guns), breech-loader: and three battalions—namely, the Twenty-third ‘Royal Welsh Fusileers, Twonty-0fth King's Own Borderers—regiments of the jine—and the Fourth battalion Rifle Brigade; the newly arrived troops were not present. ‘The whole made a force of about eighteen hundred meu. On reaching the ground they were formed into contiguous columns of battalions, and awaited the ARRIVAL OP GENERAL MBADE, who came on the ground a few minutes Inter, He was mounted on the Brigade Major's horse, bt tis two aids came on foot, As the General appronched t e right of the line ban@ after band struck up, and when he got opposite to General Lindsay, that officer and his s aif sa- luted him. General Lindsay, then, after » few words with the distinguished visitor, proposed to dele the whole force before him in slow time, It was put in march, and corps after corps passed before the Gene- ral, the officers saluting, apd he returning tho salute as he was wont to do with the diy.sions of the rend of tho Potomac. This over, the troops defiled in quicl time and then in double quick, the three bands of the infantry being united and standing in the centre of the Champs. As the two batteries went by him Generai Meads exprozsea to General Lindsay his admiration of their efficiency and the perfection of their appointments. It was with this arm and the rifle battalion that he gcemed to bo moat struck. Atter the detilement the Twenty-third resiment was pat through the bayonet ex- ercise, which the men performed very well, though, as I have before observed, there are too many thrusts and parries—more than would be used in warfare, With this exhibition of good aril! Genoral Mende seemed to be well ratistled, and at the end of every movemont frankly gavo his praise of the drill and stead ness shown by the men. ‘There were about toar thousand people upoa the ground, and at the bayonet drill they gave a cheer and made piaudits jt) thojs hands, ot which the mon of the Twenty-third were gratified, After this an Armstrong gun of one of the two bat- teries was shown General Meade, and as he walked over to it his two aids were algo led by one of General Lind- say's staff to examine the gun, 'y explanation was given by General Lindsay and Colonol Pipon. Tt was worked by its gunners in the presence of the three American oilicers, who looked on and watched the gun with atteution ‘This gun forms tle best part of a British force, It is avery good » and as long as it would continso in good order it would be very de tive toanenomy. ‘The riffing of tho gun ds due, a avoid injuring the grooves, rings ol lead are placed on the shell, ‘iat the part which reels against the bore may be softer metal Gian itsel’, This renders the ane munition expensive and not easily to be replaced. ination of (he breech loating gun was r Lumied to saluting point and nowiber of maueravres made by the force, ali of whch were execuied with ihe prec.sion and stead- inoss that denote ihe roldiors of the British army. ‘this over, the € val left Loo ground, apparently well pleased with the exerc honow over Gener looked on at The weather we 4 thet could have been desired, the sky belug Jowerins.
