often years and a Diploma from the
BALTIMORE DENTAL COLLEGE he can supply

There is nothing so conducive to health as
good teeth, and vet, their attention is more
neglected than almost any thing else.
Nothing adds more to the beauty of Woman
than a clear and beautiful sett of teeth. Noth-ing
detracts mote from her beauty than dark
decayed discolored teeth.
I would urge the necessity of attention to
children's teeth early. Parents neglect their
children's teeth most criminally, for a founda-tion
is laid between the ages of live and lif-teen
years for a i.ooi. or BAD sett of natural
teeth. Besides it is economy to attend to the
teeth early.
I warrant all my fillings, so if any fillings
should como out in six months time I will re-place
them free of charge. I will be prepared

THE ASIII.EV-CONOVKK CONSPIRACY.—
Not tlic least extraordinary circumstance
connected with the Asliley-Oonovor con-spiracy
to suborn witnesses to implicate
President Johnson in the assassination
scheme, says 7//- New York World is the
manner in which the vliolo matter has
Leon treated by the leading journals of
botlt political patties. The Democratic
press naturally hesitates to accept as trust-worthy
anything coming from such a
source as Conover—a convicted perjurer,
sentenced to the Penitentiary, and to whom
a pardon has been refused. The Radical
journals, on the other hand, dare not say
that C< tiover's remarkable statements
about Ashley, Butler and Company arc
false. 7%e Tribune, to besuru, speaks of
the whole as "a pretended revelation of
Radical wickedness," bnt it does not claim
that Ashley's notes to Conover are for-geries;
oc the contrary, it admits that
Ashley wrote them, an 1 characterizes
them as "brief and meagre,' and says that
they "can only he hnked with Conover's
charges by powers of imagination" which
The 'Tribune thinks would be extraordina-ry
for Mr. Stanbery. Nor docs Mr. Ashley
deny his connection with Conover in this
affair. Butler is yet to be heard from in
relation to this matter, Holt is on the
ground, and he refrains from print; and
Kiddle, who is a member of the Washing-tun
bar, makes no sign. If the "pretended
revelation <•!" Radical wickedness" was
trumped np in the Attoraey-Qeneral'a of-lice,
or elsewhere at the capital, between
Conover and those who were interested in
the revelation, why did not Conover re-ceive
his reward—a free pardon? Above
all, if il is a "pretended revelation," once
more, why will not Ashley, Butler, Holt,
and others at one.' and completely expose
its falsity ?
This latter question is an easy one to an
swer. Neither The Tribune nor any other
defender of Ashley and Company can deny
that, whetln r Conover is a perjured scoun-drel
or not, for months he has been the
intimate associate and adviser of the men
whom the i\ volition exposes. Whether
he has been their agent, or partner, or only
their victim, remains to be shown more
lull;, by-and-by. We have yet to learn
whether Conover's punishment for perjury
was not procured expressly to put him out
of the way, because he knew too much of
what had been planned and purposed. It
would be interesting to know if Ashley,
Holt and Riddle were sincere in their ap-plication
for the pardon of Conover, and
il'thi* very application was not a trap for
the President. It could be said by his
enemies that he pardoned Conover from
fear of him; that he bought him off from
producing thus.' terrible witnesses who
were to tell all the dreadful things they
knew about Mr. Johnson's connection with
the assassination scheme. We have Con-over's
side of the story, now let us hear
what his friends and partners, with whom
he seems to h ue quarrelled, say about it.
There is a trite adage about one class of
people falling out and another class gain-ing
thereby. With the statements ot
Ashley and Butler, as weil as Conover, the
public may get a real rather than "preten-ded
revelation ol the Radical wickedness"
which, nothiig ago, threatened to impeach
the President as a conspirator with assas-sins.
Number 1,358.
"CONFKSSIOSS ot COKOVKE."—The de-velopments
of the conspiracy against the
President of the United States, are grow-ing
daily, 'lite National Intelligencer says
that the testimony already accumulated it
fearful. The parties implicated may seek
in vain to hide their heads behind the
epithets of partizan newspapers, but this
will avail them nothing. Each one of the
subordinates is trying to save himself by
an early confession.
The following confidential letter, ad-dressed
to the Chief ofthe Bureau of Mili-tary
Justice, the trusted and valued friend
of the immaculate Stanton, shows that he,
too, is deeply and is irrevocably implicated
in this conspiracy with his old associate
and manager of testimony—Conover alias
Dunham. The original of this letter, in
the hand-writing of the Reverend Mr.
Matchett, is in the possession of officers of
the government and will beproduced when
necessary. This man Matchett is under-stood
to be the Clerk of the Assassination
Committee. The letter is as follows:
"WASHINGTON, August 3, 1867.
"DEAE SIR:—I received the 'copy' safe,
for which I am obliged. The cote stands
as yet untouched, waiting, I judge, for the
termination ofthe trial now going on. Mrs.
D. still is watting the result, and hopeful.
The terms are as I stated; the letters and
documents to be retained by us, and letters
gotten for us in either case. She visited
me yesterday, and seemed quite cheerful
with prospects of the case, as your letter
and Mr. Kiddle's has given her great con-fidence
that you are not the persecutor you
have been represented.and that ifshe should
fail there (in getting the pardon), she shall
not fail finally in getting him out, at least
under a change of office.
"I am trying, as ordered by Judge C,
to get the letters. I think we shall at
length succeed. I think Mrs. D. begins to
show symtomsof 'returning reason,' and
that far husband was guilty of a great
crime, and ought justly to sutler a little!
Your endorsement seems to have settled
her mind very much, and she feels that you
have done all you could and all you might
to do. She is satisfied perfectly. I think
they both feel that there is both digni.y
and. power in the law yet, and that it is
dangerous work to treat it with contempt.
I believe it will be all for the best that he
has gone up for awhile. She knows not
ho wkmg. I do, if she will bring me the
letters.
"I will infoira you of any movements
the moment necessary. I am very truly,
"VV. B. MATCHETT."
Address "Hon. Judge Holt, Judge Ad-vocate
General, present." Marked "per-sonal."
REGISTRATION.-We published last week
the order of Gen. Sickles on the subject
of registration, and also the Address of
Gov. Worth to the people of North Car-olina
urging upon the people of the State
the importance of registerting. It is im-portant
that all who can, should register.
For the information of such as may be in
doubt regarding their qualification to reg-ister
themselves as voters, we copy from
The Wilmington Journal the following,
which is the plainest exposition of the re
construction act we have seen :
It becomes all-important to know who
and who cannot register. This has now
become very plain under the instructions
given by General Sickles in his recent or-der
upon the subject. With the omission
of not naming the officers embraced by
the expression, "created by law for the ad-ministration
of the general law of the
State, or for the administration of justice,"
there is nothing left to surmise. Unex-plained
by the only person now authorized
to construe the act of Congress for us,
and as anxious as we are that as few of
the citizens of the State as possible should
be disfranchised, we feel compelled to ad-vise
all persons who, previous to the war,
held any State or Federal office and who

All males, twenty-ope years of age, who

Many persons, and we fear some of those
appointed regist-ars arc included in this
number, have grossly misconceived this
part of the' oath required of those who
offer to register, and some even confound
the oath required of Registrars (tho test
oath) with that of the person offering to

office and official oath and afterward enga-ing
in the war or giving aid and comfort
to those who did.
The following persons are disfranchis-ed:
Those who have been convicted of a
felony.
Those who held any State or Federal
office at the time previous to the war and
then engaged in the war or gave aid and
comfort to the South.
Persons who have not been convicted of
felony and who did not before the war
hold any office, are not di»franchia«d,
whether or not engaged in the war or gave
aid and comfort to the South.
If they held office, and did not after-ward
engage in the war or aid the South,
they are not disfranchised.
So, too, those who have held office since
or during the war, although they may
have engaged in the war or given aid to
the South, are not disfranchised.
The only point, as we have already re-markej,
at all doubtful, is as to what offi-cers
are included under the head of ''Ex-ecutive
or Judicial office" of a State,
which Congress explaius as including "all
civil officers created bylaw for administra-tion
of any general law of a State, or for
the administration of justice." In this
nation must prepare either to drink th«
cup of Inundation to the dregs or hurl tbh

Xo person is disfranchised for simply hav-ing
held office previous to the war, nor for
merely having engaged in the war or given
aid and comfort to those who did. To
work disfranchisement, a person must
have done both. He must have previous
to the war held office and then engaged in
it or given aid and comfort. By reference
to the oath, published elsewhere (see
Form 2), it will be seen that the applicant
has to swear that he is twenty-one years
old ; that he has not been disfranchised
for participation in rebellion or civil war
against the United States (and no c'.tizen
of North Carolina has heeu thus disfran-chised),
nor for felony ; that he has never
been a member of any State Legislature,
nor held any executive or judicial office in
any State and alterwarJs engaged in in-surrection
aud rebellion against the Uni-ted
States, or given aid and comfort to the
enemies thereof; that he has never taken
oath as a member of Congress or as an
officer of the United States, or as a mem-ber
of any State Legislature, or as an ex-ecutive
or judicial officer of any State, to
support the Constitution of the United
States, and afterwards engaged in insur-rection
or rebellion against the United
States, or given aid and comfort to the en-emies
thereof. It is therefore as plain as

ot that office.
The Secretary of War has been instruct-ed

The reply of Mr. Stanton was received
about oue o'clock, ami General Grant
called in the meantime and conferred with
Mr. Johnson, and then with Mr. Stanton,
and took formal possession af the War De-partment.
Mr. Stanton remained in the
building during the day quietly transacting
business.
It is not true that the President has
telegraphed General Stiadman to come
here to take tho position of Secretary of
War, nor has he selected a successor to II r.
Stanton; but it is quite likely he may
tender the position to a distinguished New
England ex-Governor. There was no ex-citement
apparent hi the Department, lot-very
lew therein knew what hail transpired.
Upon the streets, however, when the m.r-ter
became known, the interest evidence
by all parties/ibout this important event
rose to a considerable degree of excite-ment.
The Court of Claims to-day decided that
there is no appeal on the part of the G"\
eminent in the cotton cases recently deci-ded.
The court holds that by act of Con-gress
the proceeds of sales OI abandoned
cotton are distributable finally and wi'h-out
appeal by decree of that court, which
is specially authorized to take testimony
and adjudge upon the facts where clai-mants
are entitled to funds, and in this way
only can the money be distributed.
A report is in circulation to night that
Judge Holt will shortly be suspended from
his functions as chief of the bureau of
military justice.
