Will not the holders of greenbacks and Uovern ment bonds consider the judge as quite too eleva ted andetberial for such earthly honors as a scat on the Supreme Bench ? iii £ i i "MONSIEUR TONSON COM E AGAIN" Some one quaintly remarked, a few days ago, that Andy Johnson had two white elephants on his hands, Stanton and Sheri dan, which were* exceedingly troublesome and gave him much more concern than many other keepers of much more extensive menageries. The Poor Directors of Bed ford county have, within the last month or two, found themselves in the same unplcas ant dilemma. The Steward, Sam LEI. DE fibaugh, and the Miller, Mr. WILLS, like Stanton and Sheridam, have doen discover ed to be honest men, unwilling to do the dirty work of their masters, and the fiat has gone forth that they must be removed. But how to proceed and on what grounds appears to be the stumbling block. The honest masses, the people, arc opposed to their removal; they see in them capable and honest servants, and they insist upon their retention, and between the terrific fire of those who would have them displaced on account of their integrity and virtue, and the masses who would have them retained, the Directors vibrate like the pendulum of a clock. In all the agony of their souls they exclaim "What is to be done with the elephants?" The feeling against these gentlemen had been smouldering for some time, until a few weeks since, the miller and steward, not having the fear of the grain speculators before their eyes, bought wheat at two dol lars per bushel and sold flour at eleven dol lars per barrel. This was a heinous offence —an unheard of erime. Several specula tors had the flour of wheat bought at three dollars per bushel, on hand unsold. What infidelity to party to reduce the price! The thought was intolerable! Was it possible that one Democrat would treat another thus ? Was it possible that one Democrat would undertake to supply the town with cheap flour when several other Democrats could supply it with flour at three or four dollars more per barrel! It could not be! It dare not be! The miller and the stew ard must be removed "if negroes must be placed in their stead." ' These arc the very words.'' What if the poor were starv ing for the want of the "staff of life?" No matter ; these men must heed the admoni tions of the speculators and not the cries of the poor, and if their humanity should get the better of them and they should hearken to the plaintive cries of the widow and the orphan, they must be discharged! Was there ever a grosser outrage contemplated ? From the day these gentlemen took posses sion of their respective positions the com plaints against the mis-management of the I'oor House ceased! No more honest men have been elevated by the Democratic party than these men, and now, because they will not do the bidding of the leaders of the party, they are to be kicked out. Will the people permit such abuse of power without holding the Directors personally responsi ble? We think not. Let the tax-payers of Bedford county, who have been burden ed with taxes to support the dead wood of the Democratic party in the little county offices, stand up for their first truly honest, servants in half a score of years. Let it be remembered that Mr. Defibaugh discovered the late deficit in the Poor House account which saves to the county from $B,OOO to $lO,OOO, and (fmt IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOIL HIM. THE WHOLE MATTER WOULD HAVE BEES SETTLED FOR 12,000. Vi c hear that Mr. Anderson is in to this movement. This astonishes us somewhat, we must confess. Wc have had good reason to know that Mr. Anderson has desired to guard the interests of the public with a iealous eye, and why he should join a move ment for the removal of Mr. Defibaugh we cannot imagine. The eyes of the people have been fixed on the Poor House for years, and they mean to make short work of somebody's political prospects if they can fix upon the unworthy servant, you can rest assured. So, gentlemen, you had bet ter leave well enough alone. The INTEGRITY of the JUDICIARY The checks and balances of our Govern ment are adjusted with nice discrimination. So thoroughly and well does the machinery work that even if one of the three (treat divisions of governmental power becomes ex centric, or to a certain extent untrue, the government by reason of vigilance and pa triotism iu the other branches still survives. Yet, more than anywhere else, the danger to our national perjwtuity lies in the Judi ciary, if for any reason it becomes false to the great underlying principles of liberty and patriotism. lxx)k how the slave power surrounded the Supreme Court of the United States with an atmosphere morally vitiated and corrupt, until that august tribunal of learned and able wen departed entirely from the principles of the founders of the gov ernment and the Constitution, and decided that biaek men had no rights which white men were bound by law to regard, and that Congress and the President were hound to protect and foster slavery in the Territories. Also how the Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania came near wrecking the ship of state, during the late fearful storm of treason and disloyalty, by deciding against the Consti tutionality of the draft. The election of Judge Agoew in 1864 was of as much value to the Government in putting down the re bellion as the victory' Getteysburg. And yet after all this the people are called upon to vote for Judge Sharswood, whose entire sympathies have been with the slaveholder's party from his earliest manhood, and who did all he could during the rebellion to em barrass the government, by travelling out of the record in the ease of Borie vs. Trott to decide that the government had no right to is-uc paper money to support the armies and carry on the war. Can any soldier, or any lover of his country, or any one else except a copperhead, or a Southern Sympa thiser, vote for such a man. NOT TO HE TRUSTED. Let it be remembered that Judge Shars wood's notorious decision against the na tional currency, was an extra-jndicial one: It was not involved in the case, but in his partisan hatred and malice he went beyond his authority as a judge, and endeavored to stab, in the hour of its peril, the govern ment that fed and kept him safe, by cloak ing with the judicial ermine an extrajudi cial opinion, which, if it had been made the law, would have bankrupted the country and destroyed the Union beyond the hope of redemption. Sharswood holds the ,-ame opinion to day; and the man who could abuse his judicial position to promulgate such an opinion, would again abuse, if elect ed to the Supreme Bench, his official posi tion to enforce that opinion, if it were in his power, and thereby make utterly worthless every dollar of currency and every govern ment bond ever issued by the United States. No man who has a greenback dollar in his pocket, or who owns a government bond on which he now regularly draws bis •">, 6 or 7 per cent, interest can with safety vote for Geo. Sharswood. Men who have once shown themselves partisans on the Judicial bench should never be trusted with such authority again. Sharswood has been tried and found wanting. Let him not again have the opportunity of using a judicial po sition to further partizan measures or strike a blow at the national life. REBEL SUFFRAGE vs. NEOBO SUFFRAGE. —Kentucky and Tennessee, in their late elections, lying as they do along side each other, present a striking contrast. Ken tucky, with all her rebels enfranchised and all her negroes disfranchised, elects an openly defiant rebel Governor over both Union and Conservative candidates combined, by a majority of over 50,000. Tennessee, with about 10,000 of her worst rebels disfran chised and the frcedtnen enfranchised, re electsGov.Brownlow by 45,000 majority, who though denounced by copperheads as every thing that is vile, cruel and blood-thirsty, at once pronounces for the enfranchisement of all, and impartial suffrage; thus giving even to those rebels, who, during the war, sought his life with the relentless cruelty of bloodhounds, and drove him from his home and State, all the rights and privileges of the most favored citizens. While such a generous policy is advocated by the Tennes- see Radicals, no sign of relenting, no liberal idea, no evidence of generosity or gratitude has characterized Kentucky rebels; their rule is the old aristocratic, selfish tyrranny that has always marked rebel communities. Let the nation be thankful that we have but one Kentucky, while Tennessee Ls but one of a number that have learned the les sons of wisdom in the school of a dear expe rience. THE Gazette asks if we are in favor of negro suffrage. Does the Gazette man be lieve that a deserter or rebel and traitor, one who left a loyal community to join rebel marauders if you choose, and who did all he could to destroy our Union, murder our friends and brothers and desolate our homes, has a better right to have a voice in the making of our laws than the loyal negro who fought and bled for the Union, who stood between us and our enemies and helped to protect our homes and who filled a place in the ranks of our armies, that some white man (perhaps the Gazette man himself) would otherwise have been celled to fill? Which in your opinion has earned the better right to a vote? Which do you prefer, rebel whiteman or loyal negro Soldier? THE Genius of Liberty, of Uniontowu, Pa., an organ supported by the Democracy of Fayette county, and one devoted to the cause of Shars wood against Williams, comes to us this week with a charitable and gener ous allusion to the martyred President LIN COLN. It says: "The contributors to the Lincoln monu ment, are demanding to know what has be come of their money. No matter what has become of it. It cannot be put to a more disgraceful purpose than building a monu ment to such a man as Lincoln, whose life was a withering curse to his country." WILLIAM ft WEBB, builder of the Punder berg, will make about $700,000 out of the sale and safe delivery of his wonderful ship, which is certainly one of the best war vessels for fighting or sailing that ever floated the sea. The struggle between Prussia and trance, to get this ship at a time when war was threatened between the two Powers, ena bled Captain Webb to make his own terms. FKOJM WASHINGTON. A Breach M the Cabinet.—Mc('vUch am/ Randall unfaithful to their Copperhead Matter. —Chain g of the Surrutt Trial.— Bradley, Sr., Stricken from the Roll*. lit- challenge* Judge hither, 4c, &c. Nrw YOKK, Aug. 12. —The New York Bearald this morning publishes special tel egrams from Washington of unusual inter est, reporting as it does the im landing, if not actual existence of a Cabinet crisis, involv ing such a state of relations between Presi dent Johnson and his constitutional advisers as will probably lead to the dismissal or res ignation not only of Secretary Stanton, but of Secretary Seward, Mr. M't'ulloch and Mr. Itaudall. It seems that the President has decided not to wait till the Cabinet meeting of Tuesday before deciding on the removal of Mr. Stan ton, but has just issued this morning an or der removing him from his office as Secre tary of War, and appointing Gen. Grant as Acting Secretary. The order is dated the 12th, and takes effect immediately. The President briefly states his authority as President of the United States, and the authority vested in bita by the Constitution, 4c, The follow ing dispatch has just been received from New Orleans: "NEW ORLEANS, August 11.—-President Johnson has tendered to Gen. Stcedman the position of Secretary of War. Gen. Steedman leftjon Saturday night for Wash ington." The difficulty between the Executive and Mr. M'Culloch is spoken of as so extreme that the name of Moses Taylor, of New York, is mentioned in Washington as the successor of the Secretary. There is but little to add of the last day's proceedings in the Surratt case to the regu lar court report. The jury ballotcd.it is learn ed, first, last and all the time eight for ac quittal and four for conviction. Several ot them declare that if Surratt had been in dicted for conspiracy to murder or as an ac cessory before the fact, instead of as a prin cipal, to the murder, that the jury would have returned a verdict of guilty iu less than thirty minutes after they retired. The pris oner appeared very much depressed on see ing the jury report that they could not agree, and declared as he was being ironed before being remanded to jail that he believed he did not care what the verdict was. so there was one, for he did not wish to go through a new trial. The dismissal of Bradley, senior, from the bar for bis conduct on July 2, during the trial, caused' quite an excitement in and about the court house, and a meeting of the members of the bar has been called to take some action. When Bradley followed up Judge Fisher to the street car and handed him a challenge to fight a duel, at least a thousand of the spectators in and about the court house rushed into the street and surrounded the car. An outbreak seemed imminent, but a large detail of polio: hav ing been put on in anticipation of trouble, the crowd were scattered and the car driven rapidly ott. it is contemplated to nave Bradley indicted under the act of Congress for sending a challenge to fight a duel. The punishment is five years' imprisonment. The next term of the criminal court com mences in December, before Judge Carter, and the prosecution claim that another trial of Surritt can be finished in four weeks. The following is an account of the diffi culty between Judge Fisher and Mr. Bradley Sr. as gathered from the newspaper dis. patches:— Immediately after the di.-cbargeof the jury, Mr. Fisher arose and said: 1 have now a very unpleasant duty to discharge, but one which 1 cannot forego. On the Jil day of July last, during the progress of the trial of John 11. Suratt for the murder of Abraham Lincoln, immediately after the court had taken a recess until the following morning as the presiding justice was descending from the bench, Joseph 11. Bradley, HSIJ., accos ted him in a rude and insulting manner, charging the judge with having offered him ! Mr. Bradley] a series of insults from the bench from the commencement of the trial. The judge disclaimed any intention whatever of passing any insult, and assured Mr. Bradley that he entertained for him no other heelings than those of respect. Mr. Bradley, so far from accepting this explana tion or disclaimer, threatened the judge with personal chastisement. As he understood, no court can administer justice, or live, if its judges are to be threatened with personal violence on all occasions whenever the iras cibility of counsel may be excited by an imaginary result. The offense of Mr. Brad ley LS otic which even his years will not pal liate. It cannot be overlooked nor go un punished as a contempt of court. It is therefore ordered that his name be stiieken from the rolls of attorneys practicing in this court. Mr. Bradley immediately rose to his feet, and asked if the court had adjourned. Judge Fisher. It has not, sir. Mr. Bradley. Then, sir in the presence of the court and this assembly, I hereby pronounce the statement just made by the Judge as utterly false in every particular. Judge Fisher, interrupting. Crier, ad journ the court. Mr. Malloy (the crier). This court is now adjourned. Mr. Bradley. Well, then, I will say now— Judge Fisher (rising to leave the bench). You can say what you please, sir, and make a speech to the crowd, if you like. Mr. Bradley. You have no authority to dismiss me from the bar. That must he the act of three of the judges of the Supreme Court. Judge Fisher said, "Very well, Mr. Brad ley, you can make the proper appeal." He then left the room, followed by a large crowd of persons. Immediately after leaving the court room, -Judge Fisher proceeded to the street and entered a car for the purpose of proceeding up town. lie was followed closely by Mr. Bradley, who entered the ear, and stepping up to Judge Fisher, handed him a note. Judge Fjsher took the note, rose to his feet opened it, and began to read it, and Mr. Bradlev turned and left the car, around which an excited crowd had gathered. It is understood that the note was a challenge. Several policemen sprang into the car, and officer Mcllenry stepped to the side of Mr. Bradley and kept in that position while he remained in the car. Leaving the car. Mr. Bradley passed through the crowd and entered his office, and was followed by sev eral friends belonging to the bar. A large crowd immediately gathered on the corner in front of bis office. After remaining in his office a few moments, Mr. Bradley came out arm in arpi with bis brother, Charles Bradley, Esq., of the National Bank of the Republic, and proceeded down Louisiana avenue, followed by a crowd of friends and curious persons, who excitedly discussed the proceedings which had just transpired. In the meantime Judge Fisher resumed his scat io the car, and continued his perusal of. the Dote, while the car moved off. A nam ber of bis personal friends had entered the car. and a great deal of apprehension was manifested of a personal encounter between the Judge and the deposed lawyer. THE REMOVAL OF MB. STANTON. From the Pbil'a Prtn of August l.f. The long expected order susjtending Sec. retary Stanton was issued this morning, and General Grant was assigned to the charge of the War Office ad interim, with instructions to enter at once npon the discharge of the duties of Acting Secretary of War. The President but yesterday announced that the suspension would not take place until Tues day, and consequently the promulgation of the order to day created no little surprise. Immediately upon receiving the order from the President, General Grant proceeded to the War Department ami informed Mr. Stanton that he was ready to relieve him. Mr. Stanton without hesitation retired from his office, and General Grant assumed con trol. Many of the snbordidatc officers of the department were not aware of the change that had taken plate until after the fact was made public in the evening papers, while others supposed tut Mr. Stanton had at last offered his resigaation, which supposi tion gained ground from the fact that Mr. Stanton sent to the Presideut a letter of re monstrance, the corneals of which, not be ing known, were presumed to be a formal resignation. It is generally assumed that General Grant's tenure of office will he short, as it is well known that the President offered the portfolio of the War Depart ment to General James B. Steedman, of Ohio, more than eighteen mouths ago, and that he telegraphed to New Orleans, request ing that officer to proceed to Washington im mediately. General Steedman had received a leave of absence from his office of internal revenue collector, hut was detained in New Orleans by illness it. his family, and the President, in the urgency of the circum stances as viewed from his .-taod-point, was coni(>clled to telegraph to him in person. It is therefore assumed that General Steed man will receive the appointment immedi ately on his arrival here, which will occur in a very few days. The following is a teilnit im copy of the corrt.-pondence pelween the President aud Secretary of War and Gen eral Grant to-day: EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington, August 12, 1 HOT.

STEEDMAN AS SBETAHV Of WAR. ; —ln regard to the removal of Mr. Stanton i and the appointment of Gen. Steedman as Secretary of War, the JY Y. Tribune has the following: "Aa there u no limit to be placed to Mr. Johnson's capacity- for incapacity, there is really nothing surprising in the announce ment that he has appointed Gen. Steedman the Secretary of VV ar. It would be incred ible were he not the I'resident, but if it were telegraphed that he had physically repeat ed his political sommersaulu, and in person turned a dozen hand-springs up Pennsylva nia Avenue, the people might seriously be lieve the report. Andrew Johnson cannot astonish us—at least by any act of folly, though the rumor that he had at last done something wise or patriotic would certaiuly elcctrify the country. The appointment of Steedman as Secretary of War. monstrous and ridiculous as it is intrinsically, is per fectly in keeping with Mr. Johnson's policy, which is always to chocsc the worst man in the country for Dy given position. If he could have found a successor to Mr. Stan ton more obnoxious to the people, and less worthy of the office thau Steedman. he would inevitably have chosen him. Hut that was impossible; Steedman is the last man in the United States who ought to be Secretary of War, and therelore it is almost absolutely certain that the telegram is true." THE New York Bulletin concludes an ar ticle on the probabilities of trade as follows: But we have every reason to anticipate a re turn of business activity. The bountiful harvest all over the country cannot fail to impart a new energy to industry, and the piospectsof a good fall and winter trade are favorable. Peihaps the chief obstacle to a I>eedy return of activity consists in the gen eral and exaggerated ideas relative to a de cline in prices. Consumers even-where hes itate to make purchases in consequence of the expectation of a crash in the market. These expectations will soon be found out to be unreasonable,"and then we may expect an active trade over the whole country. Wc look, indeed, for a reduction of prices in several branches of trade, but not to any considerable extent. Wages will be com pelled to give way before any decided and general reduction of the prices of commodi ties can occur. In Pittsburgh the Iron workers have sensibly agreed to a reduction, and the period when the mechanics aud la borers of other cities will imitate their ex ample, aDd submit to the inevitable tendency of events, is only a question of time. A New Southern Rebellion. WASHINGTON, August 12.—1t has been >taled here on vciy good authority ihat one of the reasons which actuated Mr. Stanton when he refused to resign at the President's request, is that he has received information of a scheme which it is said is on foot for arming military organizations in the late in surrectionary States, whose ultimate object is afiother assault upon the government, and he has determined to remain at his post to thwart their designs. 11 is further said that one of the causes of the late rupture_be tween the President and Secretary of War. was the refusal of Secretary Stanton to as sign to a militia company of Maryland, com posed mainly of returned rebel officers j and soldiers, a battery of light guns for i which they had applied. The President is ! said to have directed him to furnish the battery, but that Mr. Stanton declined, and ■ i still refuses to do so. VENCRAL NEWS ITERS. The New York Tribune givef details show ing that the Rodman gun proved a failure at the recent experiments in England. D'Arcy McGr.t. it is said, has been threat ened with assassination if he makes his prom ised disclosures concerning the Fenian organ ization in Canada. The Commissioners of the Public Charities in Nc-W York are about to erect a building on Ward's Island for the reclamation of drunk ards. The President, it is said, proposes another extensive swing around the circle. Reside visiting his old home in Tenuessee. he will visit Cape May and Saratoga. VlXlOrs rumors prevail as to how the jury in the Surratt case arc divided. The roost reliable report is that eight are for acquittal j and four for conviction. The Marshal has ]<aid out for merely legal ! fees, in the Surratt case,twenty thousand dol lars. It is calculated the entire cost of the trial will be at least one hundred thousand dollars. Co.vsU'Erxble excitement was occasioned among the colored people of Portsmouth, Va., on Thursday, by the murder of a colored boy by a white boy named Tyson. The latter es I caped. Mayor Hoktos, of Mobile, was arrested by the military authorities on Friday, for viola tion of the civil rights law, in banishing a negro named Johnson, who bad lost a leg in the Union army. Horton gave bail for his appearance. Penksyi.vasia Coi.i.ege has conferred the degree of I.L. D. on Stephen Colwell, of Har rriburg, and on Hon. Eaward McPherson, of Gettysburg, Clerk of the House of Represen tatives; and that of D. I), upon the Rev. A. Wedekind. late.of Lancaster, J'a. The Kentucky election is by some called a Democratic victory, by others a triumph of the rebel party. Under the circumstances, it is not worth while to dispute about the mat ter —a verbal distinction without any real j difference. Gen. Wager Sways e has arrived from Ala bama and reports the Republican organization ther every strong. The Conservatives have called a convention, but having no unity of purpose, it is not expected that they will be able to make any opposition that will be seri ously felt. A report to the Freedman's Bureau from the Inspector of Schools in Mississippi notices a very thorough earnestness on the part of the white people of Mississippi to see the freedmen properly educated, and schools are being organized aud established in almost every part of the State. Among the documents on file in the War Department relative to the assassination con spiracy is the confession of Atzerott, who was executed, in which he states that Booth told him on the day of the assassination that "Jor.nie" (meaning Surratt) was in town, and occupied rooms at the Herndon House. THE colored people ofTitusville held a fes tival on Thursday last. While all were mer ry and happy, a few of the lollowers of An drew .lobnson broke in upon the company, beat the men, insulted the women and wan tonly destroyed the fare prepared for the oc casion. The Copperhead organs call this fun. A vEitY lucrative business is being carried on in the oil regions by parties who are trav eling through that section picking up old junk. The Petroleum Centre Era says it is estimated that at least one engine a day is sent from the "regions'" to other points, the principal mar ket being Cleveland. One firm has $100,00(1 invested in second hand machinery. About seventy-five engines are now on band of dif ferent capacity and varied construction. WHAT sort of talk is popular in Kentucky, may be inferred from the following card from l)r. Scott, of Centerville, in that State: "As 1 am informed through reliable sources that it is reported in this community that I was with the Federal army during the war, I wish to pin the lie to it by making public denial through your paper; for I was not associated with that army in any capacity during the war. and defy any one to prove the contrary. I am only anxious to deny the reports because I know that they were promulgated by some maliciously disposed person or persons with u view of prejudicing the public against me." THE regular Cabinet meeting was held on: last Friday. All of the members were in at- j tendance but Attorney General Ktanbery and Secretary Stanton, the latter remaining*!! the discharge of bis official duties at the War j Department. The question of the power to supersede the Secretary of War, as well as to j remove htm under the civil tenure act, was resumed from the discussion of the day be fore, and the President held; as he has all along, that he can clearly suspend Mr. Stan ton from tbe exercise of his official functions, but Rauda] 1 and Secretary Seward did not seem to warmly sustain that position. The Cabinet only appears to be a unit in agreeing that a member should resign oil being re quested by the President. The Executive still professes to utterly ignore Secretary Stanton; but the latter continues to exercise bis duties; and no order has been issued in any way intervening with them. The Presi dent said last night that the whole mayor would be held io abeyance for several days. THE SECRET OF JOHNSON'S EKXITT TO STANTON. —Since the fight has become an open one. the fact may be settled that during the last few week* previous to the adjourru mcnt of Congress, in the spring, facts came to the knowledge of the War Department and General Grant's office, that convinced Stanton and Grant that a difficulty of the most serious character would surely folllow the adjournment to December. The earnest im portunities of these officers alone induced Senators to hold the power of meeting in their own hands. From that time the Presi dent has waged bitter war on Stanton, who had thwarted his deep schemes. From the first hour of this trouble to the present, Gen era] Grant has been in fall accord with Stan ton. and their consultations have been con stant They bail a long interview on Tuesday night. A careful investigation has been made of the facts and circumstances attending tbe presentation 10 lie President of tbe recom mendatiou of the Military Commission that the sentence of Mrs. Surratt be commuted to imprisonment: and there hardly seems to be any doubt bat what the document *a- laid before Mr. Johnson and examined by him. Sworn testimony as to what he said regarding it can be furnished, and the officer who made up the record of the Court says it was attach ed to the last sheet on which was the sentence of Mudd and following the page with this scntenca and the one of recommendation to mercy comes the President's approval of the sentence panned in each conspirator's case, As the record appears on file in the Depart nient, the approval could not have been made without the recommendation of mercy being seen. CANADA is in a ferment. It is discovered that Seward has let loose in the Dominion an army of emissaries, loaded with Yankee gold to elect George Brownites. Rouges, and hor rid Annexationists to the first Parliament. There's a sudden flush of American money in Montreal, and an indignant Provincial ex claims: "If by spending two miiliongof dol lars in buying votes to get men that hate everything English as well as everything Can adian, into power in this country, the 1 ankee Government can establish a yt tori Canadian Government over us that will be bought by Yankee bills to play into the hands of Con gressmen and B'atk Republicans, then fare well to our freedom." THE President's journals fairly rave o gainst Mr. Stanton The following, from the Wash ing-tun InltUigettter, will serve as a specimen: "Let this loitering detective, then, lie ap prehended—in a building where his power hm- „o often shaker, tbt hearts ot tenderer and n"bler jieople who had tbe misfortune to ! lake bi orders—by police, and carried out of | tbe door by a .y stou: officer of cowman reso lution, and dismissed in she opeu air. io up pear once more io public without a guard | with loaded muskets and bayonets to defend a 1 rutuai oppr -snr against I.he apparitions of i a conscience mad with guilt and a mind dis traded with cowardice." A Monacal letter save: There is sytupa i shy for Surrati expressed here in certaiu Catholic quarters, where the course of Fat her La Pierre in concealing the conspirator is zealously, aye, vehemently iadorsed. Having visited the locality of Surratt's confinement. I inquired, among other things, of the j>eople in the bouse why be did not attend the trial of fc:s mother, i got the same reply that Mr. Bradley gives at Washington. The priest.
