FOB SUPREME JUDGE, ,
iioxiiu.-iiky w. w.i.i.iams,
Of Allegheny County.
JifTbe trial of Surratt wm concluded
on Wednesday. The closing speech by
Judge Pitrrcpont was en able argument, and
scattered to thu wind tlio sophistry of Sur
ratt' counsel, who not only endeavored to
establish the innocence of John Surratt, but
also of bis mother.
tT The Chop prospects in Europe are
fully as bright us our own. The English
papers think the crops of England will be
unusually prolific. A large crop has been
plantud and sown in Frnnce and Germany,
und there is now the largest stock of flour
on hand in Paris ever known. The wheat
growing regions of the Baltic will, it is bo
lieved, be ablu to export two million quar
ters this year.
fjf Tho fuct that President Johnson in
tended to force Secretary Stanton to resign
from tho War Office has often been stated.
On Monday lie wroto a note to Mr. Stanton,
as follows : "Considerations of public iutcr
ost will persuade mo to accept your resigna
tion, if tendered." Mr. Stanton replied in
the following manner : "Considerations of
public interst have prevailed with me to
hold this office for months past, and consid.
crations of public interest will prevail with
me to hold it till the assembling of Congress.''
Secretary Stanton deserves tho gratitude
of tho nation in maintaining his position
uud guarding the rights of the people, iu
gpito of the President and his renegade
Cabinet. Without Stanton there would be
but little brains or patriotism left in the
Cabinet.

The grand duko Alexis, of Russia, is com
ing to study liberty in America. Philadd
2'lu'a Inquirer.
A pretty place to come to for such a pur
pose! Why there is more liberty to-day in
cold, bleak Siberia, the penal colony of the
creat Kusslan Empire, than there is in the
Southern States of our unhappy and dis
tracted land. America was once the "land
of the free," but not now. That was when
the Constitution was supreme, when respect
was shown to the Chief Magistrate, and
when tho Jacobins who now ruicwere in
obscurity. Liberty in America, lorsooth 1
Why the "Satraps" ic the Southern States
can wield and do exercise more despotio
power than the Czar cf Kussia ; and liberty
in the North is but a mere thins of the past.
"Study liberty in America t" What a bitter
mockery I
We copy the above from tho Reading Oa-
tette, to show what shifts and subterfuges
even intelligent men retort to, for political
effect. The editor of the Oaielte is a member
of Congress from Old Berks, and is an Intel
ligent man. We would not insult friend
Octz by saying he was sincere in uttering the
above rhapsody. Ho knows well that in no
other country in the world could such arrant
traitors as Jeff. Davis and his followers have
escaped the gibbet which they so richly do
served. The government not only restored
to these ingrates their lives and liberty, but
their property. Tho Emperor of Russia
would have executed or banished every lead
ing rebel.
The Union Faciflo Railroad Open 425
Miles.
A few weeks since wo noticed the open'
inz of the Union Pacific Railroad to Jules
burg, 877 miles west of Omaha, and some
time this week we expect to report its com
pletion to Crow Creek, a point 48 miles fur
ther west, making a total of 425 mile3. Fif
ty miles of track in addition are graded,
ready for tho iron, and there is no doubt of
the completion of the road to the base of
the Rocky Mountains early in the Fall. The
Com pauy are contldeut that the whole line
to the Pacific will bo open for business in
1870. Tho Indians have annoyed the sur
veying parties and tie-cutters, who are many
hundred miles in advance of the work ; but
they have a wholctomc fear of the popula
tion that a railroad carries with it, und all
trains run without interruption.
The business of the company has becu
most flattcrintr. The earninc. for thequar
tor ending August 1st, were 1700,000; but
us the report for the lust week in July has
. . i -1 . e .! .
not been rcceiveu, tus exuui uuuuuu uuuui
be given. Theso earnings accrued from op
erating au average of not more than 350
miles of road, and after deducting operatiug
i:penses, the balance is far iu excess of the
' iuterest obligations of tho Company no the
amount of bonds they can issue on that dis
tance. It should be remembered that this
result is from vny business alone, through
a uuw country; jtnd is not to be compared
with the vast through business that must
follow the opening of tho whole liue to the
Pacific. The success of the enterprise seems
to bo thoroughly assured, and we cun Bee
no reason why the First Mortgugo Bonds
are not entitled to rank among the best se
curities. The daily sales are now so large,
that the Company already entertain the idea
of advancing the price.

EXAMINATION OP - ' , OP THE CITS
or riiiLADKi.rniA. ,
Q. When, if ever, were Von upon the staff
of Andrew Johnson, then Uovernor or len-
licence, nud in what capacity t
A. As a temporary aid trom tno lotn oi
August, 18C4, to the 12th of November,
1804.
Q. State whether you resided in his fumil y,
and how intimate you were with him f
A. I did not reside in Irs tnmily; I boarded
in a hotel at Nashville, Tennessee, but dur
ing tho political campaign of 1804 I accom
panied him from Nashville on his tour
through Indiana and up to his return to
Nashville : we got back November 10 ': dur
ing that time I occupied the same room with
Governor Johnson, and wrote his private
despatches and letters; Browning, his private
secretary, was also with him, hut - the most
of the time was not able to do business from
illness.
Q. While at Nashville did you know
person by tho name of Mrs. ?
A. I did : the widow of a Confederate
officer ; her husband was reported killed, in
the cany part or the rebellion.
IJ. ricasc describe the woman.
A. She is little over medium height, be
tween 40 and 50 years of nge ; she has a
married daughter ; Is ot rather light com
plexion, light auburn hair, blue eyes, and
has finely developed form.
Q. What, if any, terms of intimacy existed
between the woman and Governor Johnson!
A. I left Nashville on the 20th day of
December ; during the timo I was there this
woman bad the entree ot tho White House
at all times ; she had obtained permits to
trade iu the army of the Cumberland for her
son-in-law : I saw letters in the handwriting
of Gov. Johnson's aid. signed by him, which
she brought out from his office, recommend
mg her son-in-law to President Lincoln and
to secretary Stanton one to eaca recom
mendjnir her son-in-law for a position in
Savannah to take supplies to Savannah
after we heard of the capture of that place
by Sherman ; I asked her as sho camo out of
tho office if she bad got the documents sue
wanted, and sho showed them to me. Her
.intimacy with and calls upon Uovernor
Johnson were matters or common notoriety
and scandal in Nashville ; ber son-in-law
afterwards remarked to me, that the old
woman could twist Andy Johuson round her
fincrer lust as she pleased,
Q. What was this woman's reputation for
chastity in Nashville at the time ?
A. She was known as a woman who re
tailed her virtue for money
(. How well known was this reputation ?
A. In July, 1863, when I was on duty in
Nashville as lieutenant, General RoBccrans
issued an order that all the bad women
should be sent out of tho city, and I was
ordered by Captain Ed. M. Hulbust, assistant
provost marshal and chief of military police,
of the 18th Michigan infantry, to assist in
the execution of this order. In the perfor
mance of this duty I first heard of this wo
man, and learned from all the fust people
and fast women with whom I was brought
in contact of her character, which was so bad
I determined to havo her arrested at all
hazards ; but she had suddenly disappeared.
Upon making inquiries for her, I was in
formed by several people, and especially by
Joe Cheatham, a detective, that I had bet
ter let that woman alone, or I should get
myself into trouble, as she was Andy John
son's woman. Accordingly I ceased the
pursuit. Afterward I saw this same woman
at the capitol (Tenn.) as I before stated.
Q. Wero you present in Washington in
the winter of 18G5, when Andrew Johneon
arrived in Washington ?
A. I was, and roomed at 442 Thirteenth
street, and boarded at the Kirkwood House.
Q. How soon after President Johnson ar
rived in Washington did you see him !
A. President Johnson arrived in the even
ing, and I called on him tho next afternoon
iu his room, I think No. 182, at tho Metro
politan Hotel.
Q. State, if you know, whether that wo
man ( ) came with him.
A. Sho came, as I am informed by Lieu
tenant Kennedy Long, then and now on
President Johnson's staff, on tho same truin
from Nashville with President Johnsou.
Q. At what hotel did she put up, what
room did she occupy, aud did you see tier
there t
A. She put up at the Metropolitan Hotel,
and occupied, I think, the next room to
President Johnson ; I saw her in President
ihuson's room that afternoon when I call
ed ; sho came in after I called ; she walked
ill without knocking, und 1 lei t.
u. now long utter this occurrence before
you were iu President Johnson's room t At
what tune of tho day, aud on what errant 1
A. I called tho next uftcrnoon ; 1 cannot
state the hour precisely, to inform President
Johnson that Air. btanton had not complied
with his request to appoint mo a Captain
and Commissary of Subsistence ot Volun
teers, und also to present to him two young
sons of Mr. Thomas Uudeiwood, of Lafuy-
ette, Indiana, one abcut eight, uud the other
about six ycurs of age.
Q. Whilo you were there were any cards
sent up to Presideut Johnson ?
A. Ihcro was one, und I saw that.
(. Did President Johnson order the per
son whose card was sent up to be admitted 1
A. lie did.
(J. What name was ou that card ?
A. J. Wilkes Booth.
Q. Was he admitted t
A. He was.
(. State as near as you can the particulars
of tho interview between Mr. Booth and
President Jnlmson whether they met as
strangers or in what other manner I
A. from the familiaritv of the greeting, I
should judge tnat they had frequently met,
ana were intimate triends. When he came
in they shook hands, with the usual saluta
tions oi mend.
Ij. How long did you stay
A. Not over five minutes after Mr. Booth
came in ; I left with the two boys, leaving

bud never been introduced to hiui.
Q. Did you see Booth at the Kirkwood

sident Johnson raised himself up on his el
bow and said : "By Gad, I will striugnten

end of my administration. Mr. Blair has
been here and invited me to go up to nis
house, which I intend to do on Monday.
Burnslde, (servant,) feo down to the bar and

Q. How certain are you of the words "my

phatio manner of the President.

of Fifteenth and II streets f If so, state all

of tho conversation I remarked : "Governor,
you look tired ; being President is hard work
and small thanks, isn't it ?" Ho replied j
"les ; particularly when a mnn is Idled into
it on another man's coat tail." He stopped
a moment, as if in thought, and continued
The man'wbo nets the SlcClellan vote, with
the anti-nccro suffrage vote of tho Henubli
can party, will get tho Southern vote, and
that will elect the next President."

FimTHEU EXTRACTS FIIOU TESTIMONY.
The following extracts are from a long
affidavit mado by one thoroughly acquaint
ed with whnt transpireu iu the circles in
which Mr. Johnson moved in Nashville.
t bears tho seal of a well known notary :
I knew Acil S, Brown, onco Uovernor ot
Tennessee, and a noted rebel ; he came to
Nashville once, in 1803 ; it was a very hard
matter to get a pass through the lines, and
Brown wanted to get one ; ho called ou thu
Uovernor, and thu Uovernor refused all in
tercoursc and interviews to other people that
day, and was uloue with Xscil S. ISrown
lthcr that night or next morning the Uov
cruor ordered to go with him to Col
umliin. N. S. Brown went along, and made
a fliort speech at Columbia, apparently ou
the Union side ; thcu Brown did lint return
with , but went through the rebel lines,
and did not return till after Lee's surrender,
and I should re likely to see him.

Important Statement Jle.latir4 to- Signing Her
Death- Warrant.
Washington, D. C, August 4.-Ex- Judge
Picrrcpont yesterday, in his argument to
the jury in the surratt case, made an impor
tant statemoct, which he verified by pro
ducing the original record relutive to tho
execution of Airs. Surratt. gjt has been
charged, it will be remembered, that tho
order for Mrs. Surratt's execution was hand
ed to the President by a member of the
Cabinet and that it wot signed without
consultation. Tho following verbatim ex
tract from Judge Picrrcpont's speech tells
the story, lie said :
"I have not come here for the purpose or
proving that Mrs. Surratt was guilty, or
that she was innocent, and I do not under
stand why that subject was lugged into
this case in tho mode that it has been. Nor
do I understand why the counsel denounced
the military commission that tried her, and
thus indirectly censured in tho severest
manner tho President of the United States
The counsel certainly knew when they were.
Ulking about that tribunal, and when they
were thus denouncing it, that President
Johnson ordered with his own hand that
commission ; that the President signed tho
warrant that directed thu execution; thnt
President Johnson, when that record was
brought before him, brought it before his
Cabinet, and that they Voted to confirm
the sentence, and that tho President with
his own hand wrote his confirmation of it,
and with his own hand signed tho warrant.
I hold in my hand the original record, and
no other man, rs it appears from that paper,
.ordered it. No other ono touched this
paper, and when it was suggested by some
of the members ot thu commission that in
consequence of the ugo and tho sex of Mrs.
Surrat, it might possible be right to change
her sentence to imprisonment for life, ho
signed the' warrant for her death with the
paper right bctoro his eyes, and there it is."
Handing the paper to'Mr. Merrich. "My
friend can read it for himself."

Washington Aug. 0, 18C7.
The President yesterday wroto Sccretnry
Stanton a formal letter in which he stated
that he desired to secure harmony in the
Administration., and that as the views of the
Secretary of Wur wero not in accordance
with those of the Executive and tho re
mainder of tho Cabinet, his resignation
would be acceptable. 'This was delivered
to Secretary Stanton, in person by Colonel
Moore, tho President's Private Secretary.
Soon thereafter Mr. Stanton left tho War
Department, und at this writing hud not
since discharged his officiul duties.
He omitted to-day to attend the usual
Cabinet meeting, and baa received but few
visitors nt his residence. It was generally
supposed that he was preparing n letter
complying with tho request of the President,
by tendering his resignation unit setting
torth his views in the premises. However,
at nine o'clock this evening the President
had received no reply. From this fuct it
is to be hoped that Mr. Stanton has deter-
mided to remain ut his post and disappoint
the malignants so anxious for his resigna
tion. LATER.
Ill P. M. It is now ascertained that
Secretary Stanton lias replied to Mr. John
son's request that, for good reasons, ho will
not surrender bis portfolio, but wilt remaiu
in his position until tho reassembling of
Congress. This resolution of the SecreUry
of War has given tho greatest satisfaction
to the friends of thu Union, us it evinces a
disposition on his -part to stand firm iu op
position to the muchinutions ot those who
are disposed to aid and abet the rebels iu
opposition to reconstruction.
It is lurlher learned that the rre.sulent
does not hold to the views imputed to him
in certain journals, that he can now remove
Mr. Stuntou on the ground that the Civil
Tenure act docs not apply to uppoiutecs not
made by himself.

THE
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY,
TI1EIR
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
AS AN INVESTMENT.
THE rapid progress ofthe Union PaoiSo Railroad
now building wont from Omaja, Nebraska, and f'nn.
ing, with its western connections, an unbroken line
auroas the continent, nttructs nttcnlion to the value
of the Kirst Mortgage Ilunds which the Company now
oner to tne public inc drat question arked liy pru
dent Inveatora is, "Are tbwu botlds secure?" bvxt,
"Are they a profitable investment f To reply in
brief:
1st. Tha early completion of tho whole gront line
to the PaciBo is aa certain aa any future busineaa
event can bo. The Government grant of over twen
ty million acres of lnud and filly million dollars in
its own bonds practically guarantees it. Ono fourth
of the work is already done, and the track continues
to be laid at tne rnto ot iwo nilloa a day.
2d. The Union Paoific ltailroad bonds are issued
upon what promises to bo one of the moat profiiabt
lines of railroad in the country. For many yeara it
must be the only lino connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific ; and being without competition, it can
maintuin remunerative ratea.
ad. 426 miles of this road are finbhed, and fully
equipped wan depots, locomotives, cars, Ac, and
two trains are daily running each way. The mate
rials tor the remaining V2 miles to tho eastern base
of tho Hot ky .Mountains are on hand, and it is under
contract to be dune in September.
41b. Tho net earnings of tho sections already fin
lhed are several times greater than the gold interest
upon the First Morrirai'e ltondi upon such sections.
aud if not another mile of tho road were built, tho
part already completed would not ouly pay interest
und cxpenseSj but be profitable to the Company.
ith Tho Lniun PitoiUc Kiiilrood bonds can bo is
sued only as the ro:ul pmgrcae, and therefore can
never bo in the market uujesj they represent a 6ou
Ji.r property.
(1th. Their amount is strictly limited by law to a
sum equal to what is granted ly tho V. 6. Govern
ment, and for which it takes a second lien as its se
curity. This ainuunt upon the fin-t 617 wiles west
from Omaha is only $111,0110 per inilo.
7th. The fact that the U. S. Government coiit-idcrs
a second lien upon the road a good invit-tment,
und that somo of the shrewdest railroad builders of
the country have already paid in live million dollars
upon the slock (which is to tbem a third lieu), may
well inspire confidence in a first lien,
Hill. Although it is notclaimud Ibat there can bo
any better securitiea than Governments, there are
parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a
property aa this the very best security iu tho world,
aud who sell their Governments to re-invest in these
bonds thus securing a greater interest.
Uth. As tho I'nion Pacifiu Kuilrond bonds aro of
fered lor the present at 90 cents on the dollar aud ac
crued interest, they are the cheapest security in the
I market, boing more than 15 per cent, less ttiun U. .
Stocks.

and of tbeoountriea bordering upon the Southern coast
-,oi me sicuiierruncan sea.
I Indeed, the fame of the

and waa adopted by tho
iirincioal Physicians in
charge of the hospitals of
m the old world, in which it
la
still used with preemi

of Da- Caaoriv upon the " Roll of Nobles," aod pre
sented to him a Medal bearing the folluwing inscrip
