Congress Halt., Cape Island, N. J..i July 2t),18(i7. ') Tbe season at this charming summer resort may now be considered as at its height. The arrivals at tbe hotels alone, on Saturday and Hunday morning, foot up, In round numbers, even hundred, to which should be added, large number who have friends Inhabiting cottages on the Island, with whom they find a resting place for a day or two. The Island, indeed, has seldom If ever been more populous than at present, when It Is estimated that there are at least eight thousand people on hand In search of that Intangible thing termed pleasure. Of these Congress Hall Is the abiding place of the greatest number, there being about eight hundred and fl fty stowed away in its endless nooks and corners. The one hun dred and forty arrivals of Saturday and Sunday were all that was needed to crowd the est a" bllsbment to lis utmost capacity. A large mim ber of its present occupants are here lor the season, but many are mere sojourners for a few days, when they will vacate for the benefit of those who are to come after them. Congress Hall, besides being the favorite resort of Pblla' delphlans, has the most miscellaneous popula tion on the Island, and Is hold in high estima tion by the Balilmoreans In particular, who are present this summer in as great numbers as they were before the war. The Columbia House Is also packed, and has over seven bun dred names npon its roll. Among the notabilities now staying at Con gress Hall is Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, who is seeking a few days' repose from the rather animated political contest which his const!' tuents are carrying on at home. The leaven of the Senator's stern loyalty is somewhat coun teracted by the presence of E. A. Pollard, the historian of the civil war from the Confederate standpoint a man who was heartily devoted to "the lost cause," but who, fortunately for him self and the people about him, is not of such an uproarious disposition as his chivalrous rela tive, II. Hives Pollard. Saturday's train also brought down to the Island Captain II. A. Wise, Chief of the Ord niiuce Bureau of thels'avy Department, and a huge number ot prominent railroad men, among whom were William H. Gammer, Presi dent of the Camden and Amboy Railroad XW pauy, with k large party of friends; F. A. Uomly, President of the North Pennsylvania Knmoiiil Companj; and Isaac Hinckley, oftne Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Baiiroud Company; all of whom are now so journing at Congress Hall. Chief Justine Chase wiisiikowise expeeied to arrive, buttheCnlef Justice fulled to put in au appearance, to the intense disappointment of a great number of his admirers, who had made up their mluds that he would serve ttieni all the purposes ol a rtgular lion. General Grant, accompanied by several distinguished soldiers and civilians, under the general superintendence of Senator Caltell, ol Mew Jersey, Is beiug dally looked for. But this evening information was xX'Ct'lyi'd to the efl'ect that the General of the a nuu nopnsLUifleniy summoned to Wash- Arm.v presence lor a lew nays -TO - ... , WM,1,I lw... . .. inginn, m.r.ikl lie. necessarv. . - '"i '." the Island with a visit, the people herd assem bled are fully prepared to maiB ag much o? hnn as was done by the enthutia8.,i sojourners at l ong Branch during his recent visit to that resc.rt. Mr. .Thomas Whitney, of Glassuoro, who is the fortunate owner of the most beau tiful cottage on the Inland, If. Indeed, it is not the finest on the whole Atlantic coast, has plautd his establishment at the service of Sena tor Cuttell, who will lake possession of It when he ai rives as the convoy of General Graut. Mr. Whitney's cottage is delightfully situated on the edge of the high blull'.just to the right of Congress Hall, the most desirable location on tile whole island. la view of the buvje number of people at prtst nt on the Island, It is to be expected that those frivolities whlcli consume so much time and attention at the soa-side should be well uudr way. The tlrst full dress party of the scuson, it is true, is yet au event of the future, the lime appointed being Thursday evening, August. 1, and the pluce the Columbia House. It General Grant and Chief Justice Chase should both appear in time for this, it will, of course, be the great event, not only of the sea son, but of tbe century, as far as Cape Island Is concerned. But balls and hops are of almost nightly occurrence as it is. Wednesday cveBing is the only one during the pre sent week for which no programme has been made out, either at Congress Hall or the Columbia House. On Saturday evening last the magnificent dining-room of tbe former establishment presented a scene which will scarcely be surpassed by the full dress affair of next Thursday evening. The company was quite as large as considerations of comfort would admit of, and as to the matter of dress, if there is to be any more "fullness" therein on Thursday evening, the serious question of looo motion will be presented to the male portion of the assemblage. Foolish people will resort l o the seaside, una we kuow 01 no law wiiiuu will warrant the issue of a writ of tie exeat in their cases as they are about to leave their city habitations. Perhaps their creditors might show good cause why they should be de tained within the Jurisdiction of the Court, but with such delicate matters the sea-side world has naught to do; or, If it has, does not heed the old-fashioned maxim of "business first and pleasure afterwards." So the foolish portion of the human race are permitted to gratify their pubsiou for tbe sea-side, and on Saturday even ing their wives and daughters, and perhaps a few of their sisters and maiden auuts, were present In goodly numbers and fuil feather. Trulls wore the characteristic features of their outfits, and length was the characteristic feature of their trails. But notwithstanding these voluminous excrescences of vaultyaud buk., mere were Hundreds present wno haa cub piayea sutticleut taste in their dress to render themselves quite as bewitching as when they come dripping and punting from their ocean bath. As Cape Island Is very discreet in the selection of Us hours, uie promenade music was coniinueu uuui imlf-piiKt 9. to the intense de light of the ladies with long trails.

It has been quite popular hereto Jore: but there ha been an almost Insurmounta ble O'lllculty In the way. by reason of the ab sence of a destination and general rendezvous. The Diamond Beacn Park Association has pro vided the general irysllng-place, and thereby solved the dlIlcnlty. The Association, which was chartered by the last Legislature of the State, consists almost exclusively of wealthy l'lilliidelphtans, and Is olllcered as follows: president I mucin Mcllvalne. Treasurer John F. HiniUi. KtcretBry John Went. Director John Davis. Charles A.Ttuhlesm, George Howell, Charles Knecht, ieorge .1. Bolton, Lew In Cooper, J. p. cake W. W. Warn, Itnbert Klu Aaron M lifer, Thomas T.Tabker, Michael Beirue.aud bamuel T. Arnold. The location selected for the Park is one of the most eligible in the neighborhood of Capo May. It is on a high bluff," facing the famous Diamond Beach, and is about five miles distant Irorn the Island, and about two miles north of the steamboat landing. Just across the mouth of the Bay the Breakwater at Cape llenlopen is in view, and the adjacent scenery is extroinely charming. The grounds owned by the associa tion comnrise about one hundred and twentv- flve acres, the greater portion of which is en closed by a substantial fence surrounding the race-course. This last is one mile lu length, and has been laid out with due regard to its destined purpose. Near tbe en trance stood a neat three story farm house, to which large additions have been made, and the exterior and interior brought into excellent condition. Surrounding It on all sides are two verandahs, one on the level of the hist floor, and tbe other ou that of tbe second, while a handsome cupola surmounts the whole. Bong rows of sheds have likewise been constructed, and tne managers contem plate I he erection of a large ampuitheatre for spectators. The work was couinenoetl two Weeks ago only, but by Saturday lust every thing was in leadlness for use. The entire ex panse attending tbe undertaking Is nearly 830 000, of which amount V12,00ti was devoted to the track and the improvements ou the building. For the inauguration of this new Park every preparation had been made, and at four o'clock this afternoon three horses of considerable re putation for speed were to have been put upou the track. But about one o'clock it commenced to rain, and for some time the stoi m continued with such force that it was found necessary to abandon the race. '1 lie land-sharks who drive wagons about tbe Island had advuueed on their reultr rates from 100 to U00 per cent., some of them demanding llfteen dollars lor a drive to the Park aud return. This was In view of the great rush which was contemplated on the occasion of the open ing duy. The rain completely soaked the au (JhcIIj out of the monsters, so Hint by the time it was clear again it was possible to be driven over for a sum that was not more than twice tbe full worth of the ride. Q,uite a uumberof indies and gentlemen availed themselves of the mode ration in the weaMier.iiud the carriage hire, and resorted to tbe Park, arriving at about half past four. A full orchestra had volun teered, and were on the ground to re lieve the tedium of the exercises, what ever they might be. That the persons attracted to the spot by tbe announcement might not be entirely disappointed, t wo horses were placed upou the t rack, and a Horded considerable satis faction by maklhg excellent time, considering tbe condition of the ground. Tbe race which was to have taken place this afternoon will come ofl' on Wednesday, unless the weather should nguln get into a pet, and renew its childish lieaks. Omikron.

Tbe Norfolk. Murder. On Saturday morning George Smith was brought befo e the Mayor ot Norfolk, on the cnnrgo of killing Martin Madison. The wit- iiespes as to the killing were Mrs. Moyer and Mrs. Smith, wife of the accused. The latter confessed her owu guilt, and testified to the killing of Madison very clearly Hud collectedly; but when aked by Colonel Hinton, coutisel for the accused, whether her hubband had not been always atlectionate Bnd kind to her, she ex claimed in the very agony of despair, "Yes, oh, ye6 1" The policeman testiaed as to soma giving himself up, aud conicssing that he had killed Madison by stabbing him. Colonel Hiutou asked the discharge or smith. and made a strong apoeal tor hnn. Mayor Ludlow declined to discharge him, and re manded him for examination, declaring that bis duty required him to do so.

KiT FINANCIAL. jhe union PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY. THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AS AN INVESTMENT. The rapid progress of tha Union Faclflo Railroad, now building west fnmOmaba, Nebraska, and form ing, with Its western connections, an unbroken Una across the continent, attracts attention to tba value of tbe First MortgAge Bonds which tbe Company now offer to tbe public. The first question asked by prudent Investors Is, "Are these bonds secure T" Next, "Are tbey a profitable InvestmentT" To reply In brief: first. The early completion of the whole great line to the raollc Is as certain as any future business event can be. Tbe Government grant of over twenty mil lion acres of land and liny million dollars in Us own bonds practically guarantees it. One-fourth of the work Is already done, and the track continues to be laid at tbe rate ot two miles a day. Becond. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are Issued npon what promises to be oue of the most profitable lints ot railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting tbe Atlautlo and Pa cific; aud being without competition, It can maintain remunerative rates. Third. 876 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, etc., and two 'trains are dally running each way. The materials for tbe remaining 141 miles to the eastern base of the Kocky Mountains are on hand, aud It Is uuder con tract to be done In September. Fourth. The net earnings of the sections already fltilaheil are several times greater than the gold In terest upon the First Mortgage bonds upon such sec tions, and if not auolher mile of the road were built, the part already completed would not only pay lute rest aud expenses, but be profitable to tbe Company. Filth. The Union Pacific Railroad bouds can be Is sued only as tbe road progresses, and therefore cau never be In the market unless tney represent a bona fide, property. blzth. Their amount Is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what Is granted by tbe United Slates Government, and for which It takes a necond lion as Its security. This amount upon tbe first 617 miles west lrom Omaha Is only tic.uio per m.le. (seventh. Tbe fact that the United States Govern ment considers a second lien upon the road a good In vestment, aud that some of tue shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid In five mil lion dollars upan tbe stock (which is to them a third lien), may well inspire confidence in a first Hen. Klghth. Although It Is uot claimed thut therecanbe any better securities than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this the very best security In the world, and who sell their Governments to reinvest lu these bonds, thus securing agreuter Interest, Ninth. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered for the present at 9o cents ou the dollar aud accrued interest, they are the cheapest security In the market, being IS per cent, less than United States stocks.

Hmliebt-en contradicted f To do Hie nntl, the dlene Introiluced a Mrs Laiu'wrt. u (Mr, Carrui(lon) would not say a word aalum that lady, hut It the evidence is recollected. It will be Mi own that Mrs. Lambert does not give Ihn proper time. Besldex. tbe Defense cannot reconcile Mrs Lambert's testimony wltu that ol tnesmoklng Dutcii nian. How ran the testluiony he reiouclle.J? The Dutchman says no conversation occurred, Mrs Lam bert says a couveisatlou did occur. The one cuU the throat ol the other witness. It does not lu the least C"iitrdu t herKtant Dye. But It will be shown tbat he Is corroborated. Tbere are, then, eight witnesses who swear positively that they saw hurratt, and a number of otners swear tbat hurratt was bre to the best of their belief and know ledge. The witness Orillo says he believes he saw the prisoner. John Lee says he believes he Saw him; lie did not swear positively, but all the thuu der ol the artillery of the defense was hurled aitalust his oevoted head. Who is John LeeT Yon have heard tbe testimony ot men who knew bim In Philadelphia and In Wash ington. He came here Iron Pnilauelphla and became llrht a detective and then a Justice of the Peace, k most responsible position, and one Id which he could riot lull to make enemies If he did his dtitv faithfully, because no public olhcer ever clearly did bis duty without making enemies. Will the Jury sup pose that any Tinman being who recognizes the existence ol God would come all tue way from Philadelphia and falsely swear away the life of au Individual who never did bim any harm? What mo tive would Lee nave to swear ibis man's life away? Will au i honest Jury stamp him with the crime of per JurvT If he deserves H,sayltllke men, but be sure how you do an act ol injustice. The next witness Is Mr. Ramsdell. Hedoes not tes tily iKwltlvely, but it is a lact that no oue has said But; 111 nKalllr-t bill. Jsext ih Mr. lleaton, ayoun? oftlcer In one of the Departments of tho Oovernment. lie is Just upon the stand, and Mr. Bradley does not even see proper to cruhs-exHiiilue him, although he does not swear positively. The next and laRt witness Is Mr. Coleman, who thinks ho saw the prisoner, and this completes the list. Klehl witnesses swear positively to seeing Surrntt, and live others think they did. Kach see him at a aillerent pluce. Have all these witnesses lied.' It is p nsihle, nut not probable. Are all these men mis taken? It too, Ib possible, but not probable. The uieu who saw him were honest uieu. but some of them were detectives, whose business it was to watch tuese men. Belt! happened to see him; Lee was a detective, and saw linn; Vanderpool. a young man, goes to a music saloon, and sees him drinking there. Jsi w having proved, first, the existence of the con splracy; secoi.d, the object of the conspiracy , which was to murder, and ttiat was the original plan per sisted lu. It was mur. er at firm, murder in the Inte rim, and muruer in the lust. It was argued out of abundant caution that even it It were not to murder. It l lie conspiracy resulted In murder, the prl boner was guilly. John Surratt had a family and a bon.e In the capltul of the nation. He was timid nd needeo assistance.. Booth had nerve desperudo as lie was, Hurratt luriiisbi-d a rendezvous, and Booth appeared there to indoctrinate his Ideas. Suriuti furnished whisky and Booth and Harold drunk it; Surratt furnished a rope, but Bomb did uot need it. One or the Surratts lur ' Ished a held-glass, and Booth ned it in his ftlKht. Booth died by the hand of Justice, not regularly by an liiternnsliiou of Providence. As he lay weltering In bis blood, a weupon is taken, which was fiirnlsUed him by Sur ratt. The n an whocommlls a crane i.nd goes to hell, deserves his late, but bow much more tho man who urtes on the crime! Booth baa been called the Satan and Surratt the Beelzehubof this Internal conspiracy. He (Mr. Car rlutitou) would beg the prisouers pardon, tor per liuns Surratt was the Satan and Bontu tbe Be'.ebub, The dilft rctice between the two Is that one died same, and the other was hunted down and pursued. Booth died game, like a true fanatic. Booth's last praters was tbe mention of bis mother's name. Sur ratt deserted his mother lu her hour of peril and (larger. Suratl's sin was avarice; tor lie was a Fpy which. Booth was never. 1! oth dipd say ing. "He died for bis country. and that he bad done what he believed to he right." Surratt fled, and boasted ot his bloody exploit, aud threatened to serve Audiew Johnson as Abrahum Lincoln had been served, nnd if, then, the prisoner has been shown to be oi e of the chief coi.splrators, sliould Dot this Jury wipe this blot from the cnuntn? But has not the pri soner con lessee! his until? He has done so bo h ex pres.lv ana by Implication, aud out of bis own mouth he Is condemned. A confession lu some sort or other Is almost the iiKvituble consequence of sin and guilt. Tne pood man who has otleuded Ibe laws of O' lly, upon his knees confesses lu s.-cret, all -D t prayer. This alone relieves the burden of conscience. The bad man who has committed the same great crime, at some unguarded moment confesses little by little. It comes oui, and all the facts are brought to light, and tbe criminal, by bis own declaration and conduct, sluiids confessed belore the world. Hrst. then, has not the prisoner at the bar con ft ssed his tuilt T The first wituess upon that point Is young Tlppett, who overhears Mrs. Surratt say she would give (luOO to have Lincoln killed. On another occasion he bears the prisoner sny, immediately after a great victory, tbat the leader of the .Northern Army ougi.t to bu In hell 1 At such a time, to give expression to such a wicked sentiment shows a bean regardless of social duty and fatally bent on mischief. Was ibis uttered against the President? Perhaps not; It might have been uttered against General Grant, but it nevertheless snow s the same malice and gives color to the bloody murder that was eventually perpetrated. Will the Jury believe the witness '1 ippett? He proved a char acter ol which any man might be proud. All his neighbors rush to defend his character. Does the Jury remember the testimony of old Mr. Beckett, who testified to Tippett's character? He is 7ti years of age, aud, with emotions of pride and plea sure, be caw Tlppett leave hla father's roof In bis Jacket of blue to fight in his country's cause. Did not ihlB old man testify that there was uo better hoy than Tlppett In all the country round ? lie was brought here to prove a character, and he aid prove It. Bemember, then, what Tlppett swore to that Mis. Surratt would give fluOU to see the leader ol the Union army murdered, (HX9 1 he next witness on that point Is Edward Smoui. a gentleman from the State ot Maryland, and no very willing witness, for be had seen Mr. Merrick who told him be was alter bim with a sharp stick. But he took the stand and told the truth. He was testifying aialnst bis old friend and neighbor. Sinoot testllies that h-urralt told him if the Yankees knew what be was doing they would stretch his neck. Yes. If tliev had known what he was doing they would have stretched bis neck, and if so, by his own confes sions having done what he did do. If "Yankees" do not, will not citizens of Washington mete out to bim the punishment which be acknowledged lie deserves. God grant that tbe day may never come when such a crime as Ibis, self coulussed, suall go un rebuked In an American Court. Wio Is the next wituess to this point? Dr. Mc Millan, a French Canadian by birth, but with Scotch blood coursing through his veins, aud an honorable man withal. Who oncredits Dr. McMillan ? They bring on Is'agle to discredit him, and he (Mr. Carring ton) would pay bis respects to Mr. N agio, although Mr. Bradley, Jr., seemed to Intimate it woo d be dangerous to do so. He wanted no personal dllllculty, but would do his duty, although Mr. Bradley seemed to make It a nersoual matter. Mr. Bradley, Jr.. said he had never said so. Mr. Carrlnglon said he had so understood It In some remarks made by M' . Bradley. Jr. Mr. Bradley. Jr., to Mr. rarrington You are only creating a bubble to blow yoursell upou. Mr. Carrington, resuming, said he was glad Mr. Bradley disclaimed making it a personal matter. Mr. Kugle was a lawyer, aud it was admitted ttiat he had been emploied aud had beeu lead in this case. He (V r. Cariiiigion) had uo ohjectlou to thut, but be did otijrct to a lawyer receiving a fee in ao.se, aul then Lelng placed upon the witness slaud to blast a man's characier, und all such testimony sliould be ieceived with many grains of allowance. But enough ot this. Dr. McMillan bas p'oven an excellent char acter, and he says he gave his testimony Iroui a seme o' dut : and w ill auy Jury discard a man's tedll moDy because be desires to expose a terrible crime and gross v lllunt ? Ue (Mr. Carrlugion) believed Dr. McMillan told the truth, and he would credit all his testl uony, aud be lieved that tbe Jury would do tbesame. (Dr. McMillan's testimony was here read.) Mr. Carrington, resuming, naid Tbe Jury would perceive that there were several confessions lu tbe testimony. In oue Surratt distinct y confesses that lie bad done a deed that deserved capital punishment. What clearer admission could there be of his guilt, and of tbe commission of some act from the conse quences of which he was theu fleeing? What clearer Cunlesnlon could au American Jury desire ? Does he not confess his guilt when be savs hs read a letter liom Booth, announcing a change in their plan. By responding to that letter he confesses that Ihe original plan w. his. aud according to the testt moDV the original plan was murder. Upon this point Ol conlesslon. St. Marie also testifies, and If these witnesses are belli-ved.the'e Is an end ot this case. IirihB confessions all prove hi presence, bis cc opeiatioii, his tllvht. his own couvlcllou that he had done an act worthy ol death, and an houe.it American Ji rymustso decide. But this ws not all. Tbere 18 si ch a thing ts an Implied coofe stou, and upon this polut. lie (Mr. Carrington) wou d read an extract sral ami Jurist, Usnlol Webster. Mr. tarrlugiou picked up a book aud was about to read Mr, Merrick What authority do you quote from? Mr. Carilngtun-lt Is only a school book ' Sar- fieHiils Standard Speaker.,r Probably everybody lere has read aud declaimed tbe pluce I qsote from. Mr. Merrick said he only desired lo kuow the reierei.ie. Mr. Carrington said It was Webster's famous speech In the case of The Commouwealth vs. Kuapp. Mr. Bradley The case reported In Dtb Pickering? Mr. Carrington said Yes; and probably tho speech was renoried there. Mr. Carrlngtuu then read the speech, and after wards paraphrased It to apply to the pending case. Surratt fled, lor In flight was bis only security, and to disunite blmsell be stained bis hstr aud wore glasses. .Upon the vessel he trembles because conscience pur sues him. Jr. McMillan nutlcee his tremor and asks him abuut H, and he uys he fears au American deiectlvs Is aboard, and acknowledges he La cause for fear. A lew days airo tne American people congratulated tbe Kmpeior ef Busl upou his. ercapefrou a violent death, and yet here he (Mr. Carrington) had been for three days endeavoring to couvlucsan Aaisrivaa Jury that ly should avsuga , louru.,hw,rm'.ntLn;,fUlr;!etrh.e 3 FROM THE PLAINS.
