that the charge must really be true, and
they will uncoiisciou-ly assume the very

terial nnd interesting In the history of

of the execution and for some time af
terwards, secrckd from public observa
tion; ata time wheiia reward bad been of
fered for his arrest and when If ho had
been anested nnd tried with tho other
persons accused, he would undoubtedly
liavo been convicted mid executed. Sub
sequently he lied to Kurope and paslng
through (Ireat Hritaiu mid across the
continent, took refuge In Italy. Tlicie
ho enlisted In t he Papal Zoilavcs and re
mained aWhlle, but being detected mid
thu Pupal (iovorumont being about to
deliver him up to the authorities of the
rutted Slates, he again lied by way of
Mill tit to Kgypt and dually win arrested
in the latter country and sent homo In
one of our public ships of war. He was
brought to Washington early hist spring
and placed In pi Nun where ho yet re
mains. His secreting hlm-elf and Ids
llight to foreign countrics.of course nils
osu presumption of his guilt and consti
tuted oneof th isirongpolutsagalut him
upon his trial. Hut this presumption
is much weakened by a due considera
tion of thu facts which surrounded 1dm
or all'ccted his case. A large public ie
ward h.ul been oll'ered for lilsapprehen
sion, the excitement of thu public mind
was inteii-e.and it was well understood
that trial by Military CoinmMnii did
not all'oril an iiiilmpeachablu or certain
security for innocence. I'niler these cir
cumstances, even upon the assumption
of his innocence, uf the crime, It need not
surpri-ous' that he wltheld himself from
the grasp of theflovernnicnt and lied in
to foreign parts uf the earth. And such
conduct will seem the moru natural
when we consider that hu must have
known that somu facts showing friend
ship for thu rebellion and somo degree
of association or intimacy with liouth,
could bo fairly proved against him.
Hut wu come to thu nlerlts of thu ca-e
us developed upon tho trial, and we
shall take upsuveral points for separate
and dNtluct examination.
An important question disputed up
on thu trial was thu whereabouts of Sur
ratt thu 1 Ith of April lKli'i.ou tliuevening
of which day Mr. Lincoln was assassi
nated at Kord'n Theatre in thu City of
Washington. Was Surratt at thu place
where the crime was committed assist
ing, or prepared to a 1st, in its com
mission? Wa-he an aid to Itooth in
the diabolical work which liooth hail
undert.ikenaud utlhu'placo where hlsaid
could bo rendered effectual '.' The pros
ecution iusi-ted that liu'.y.nit Washing
ton upon that fatal Htli of April, while
tho defence Insisted that he was at Kl
inira In tho State of New York. I'pou ,
this vital point of ,'-. we have formed
a strong opinion from a perusal of tho
evidencoas given in full in tho columns
of thu Xational Inleltiycncer. It seems
to us clear upon a fair consideration of!
all the testimony given, that Surratt
was at l.ljiilru and not at Washington
on the llth of April INK, and that it
was not i'ossbIe for him to participate
asa party In tliecommi-slou of the great
crime. .So thought two-thirds at least of
the Jurors, before whom bo was tried,
and .such we believe will be general
opinion in the future.
It is to be observed that thu prosecu
tion proved that Surratt left his hotel in
Montreal on the afternoon of April 1 lit 1 1
lo comu South ly the Albany route ;
mid they admitted (fur the proof showed I
that ho caiiui to l.lnilra. lint In that
ca-o he could not have arrived in Klmi
ra until Into In tho afternoon of tho liithjij
mid his presence on the 1 1th, in Wash
ington I ii not altogether impossible)
would be highly improbable, ltcsldcs,
on account ofagrciit Iresdetat tiiat timu i
in tlie West Iir.mchof tho.Susqtiehanna,
tho regular running of pa-scnger trains
between Klmlra and ilan isburg was in
terrupted: liutdls presence in Klmliaon the 1 Ith,
was directly established by three or four
witnesses, who spoku positively of Inter
views with him there, mid who, from
tlie clrcum-tancen wldcd tliey-tate,coiild
not be mistaken as to Ids identity.
Three citizens of Klmlra, men of credit,
unliiipeachcd and uncontradicted, bore
this testimony, beside u witness from

j his fear of arrest would not permit Ids

point of reason therefore, (whatever may
en 10 prove tue riseu'o oi fsurr.it t In
, Washington mi tho I Mi of April, does
. not inmciir to us to be cut t cd to much
conlidenco even when considered by
Itself und independent of the evidence
for the defence. It Is, In our opinion,
upon its face, plainly unreliable nml In
conclusive, It Is a remarkable and un
Important fact that the witnesses called
by tho prosecution to tlx Surratt In
Washington on the I Ith of April, icere
not Ki'itiiii tciu iml kimieii him before,
but tf(tnycr. It Is alledgcd that he
was seen upon thu public: Avenue, In u
crowded barber shop, at a public hotel,
and In front of Kurd's theatre etc., on
thu 1 Ith of April ; but all the persons
who are said to have seen Mm, with
perhaps one exception, were titterstran
gers to lilin and were Illy ciuallllcd to
tlx his Identity long afterwards. They
had never seen him beforoaud there Is
no pretence that they ever saw him
subsequently until after his arrest and
when two years had elapsed. Not onu
of them transacted business with him
(as did the wlliu.-s.'sat Kimlra) nor had
they any strong reason at tho time, to
notice disappearance or conduct. Tlielr
evhlcnte therefore is weak and uncer
tain considered by itself, mid does not
furnish solid ground for it Judgment of
condemnation.
Hut when wo come to consider this
testimony In connection with that giv
en for the defence, It wholly disappears
from the case us mi element of Judg
ment. Wo do not hero peak of the
proof of an alibi u( Surratt's absence
lit Klmlra but of the pioof given by
tlie defence In direct explanation and
contradiction of the testimony that Sur
ratt was present in Washington at the
time alledgcd.
Sergeant Dye testllled for the prose
cution that he believed ho saw Surratt
In front of Ford's theatre on the night
of the assassination, calling the hour ul
timo; (tho inference being that this was
notice to tlie conspirators when to com
mence their nefarious work. In tills
testimony in; was corroborated by a
companion, wept it Id the iileutijicittiim
i)f .SVfmW. lint the man who ilirf call
the hour upon that occasion was pro
duced by tlie derenceand testllled to thu
fact, and tli.it the call was to notify one
of the actors to go on thu stage. In
this he was corroborated by tho actor to
whom the call was directed.
Another witness for the prosecution
testllled to seeing Surratt in conversa
tion with llootli on Pennsylvania Ave
nue ut u particular dour In the after
noon, itooth being on horseback at the
time. An actor named Matthews, how
ever, testllled for tho defence that hu
and not Surratt conversed with liooth
at the time and place mentioned, and
that liooth then gave him u certain pa
per which he afterwards destroyed. Ills
evidence was clear and unquestionable
and tlio explanation upon tills point
wa made complete.
A colored barber was produced who
said he shaved Surratt about nine
o'clock on the 1 Ith of April at Ids shop
in Washington. Assuming the integri
ty and intelligence of this barber (of
which we know nothing) this testimo
ny by 1 1 1 1 1 1 would appear to possess
more Importance than that given by
other witnesses for the pro-ecutloii up
on thu question of Surratt's presence at
thu Capitol. Put his story cannot bo
true. It appears as a myth, a ml-taku
or u falsehood, when subjected to care
ful examination. In tho llrt place It
is admitted that this barber was not ac
quainted with Surratt, and ho has not
seen dim since until the trial. In thu
next placu he .-ays the man be shaved
"had a smooth face ail round" mid had
no whiskers, whereas thuclo.ir evidence
on both sides, at (lie trial, is, that Sur
ratt had a remarkable exhibit of whis
ker which could not escape the atten
tion of any one, and particularly of a
barber. In the third place he says that
Surratt and Laughlin were togetherand
weie both .shaved by him, whereas it
was clearly proved by the dt fence that
1aiighllu was in another part of thu
city during tlie whole forenoon of that
day and that it was impossible he could
have been in the shop of tho witness.
Hi-sides, according to the theory of thu
prosecution itself and according to thu
time tables of the railroad companies
between Klmlra and Washington, it
was not possible for Surratt to arrive In
the latter city mid at the barber shop as
early as the time mentioned, to wit, bu
I'ore or about nine o'clock In the morn
ing. Tlie remaining testimony Us to Sur
ratt's presence In Washington was not
important. One witness was under mi
inipres-lou that do dad seen dim ut
Wlllurd'n Hotel, but would not speak
positively, and was not certain about
It; anollier thought he had seen his
buck t.'i before, in that of u per-ou who
was riding from Washington on thu
1 -It 1 1 of April ; another iWiio was
strongly contradicted and ills state
ment crushed I thought hu bad seen him
In Kord's theatre during the day pre
ceding tho crime ; mid Dually an ama
teur witness turned up who remem
bered seeing him In a sulmm where
there was dancing which never took
place, near a table which never had any
existence. We believe we havo now
mentioned (ill tlie evidence for tlie pros
edition from persons who are siippood
to have seen Surratt in Washington on
or about the 1 ltd of April, except that
of a colored woman named Jackson,

and doctrines miuounccd by tho Judge,
were very extraordinary and objection
able, And there was an Important omis
sion In thu charge well calculated to
I loluru thu cause of tbnilefeiicobv with
holding the attention of the Jury from
an Important question of fact, vhk'h was,
the alleged conspiracy to abduct. I'or
It would seem from what appeared at
the Military assassination trials as well
as at tic recent trial of.Surr.itt, that the
original enterprise concocted by liooth
was the nbduetlon of President Lincoln
mid his couveyaucu within the Confed
erate lines to be held ns u prisoner.
What was Intended was a cupturo and
not mi assassination ; an exploit which
however Insolent In Itself and possibly
injurious to the Cnlted States, would
not constitute the oll'cnco of murder nor
bear any comparison with It In point of
atrocity.
Hy Hooth's diary (which was given In
uvldence by tlie prosecution mid thereby
authenticated and made legitimate for
Usu by the defense) it uppe.irs, that thu
Intention to kill tlio President tri. neirr
enterlitined until the tldj o the lunimi
nation; that then llootli and his confed
erates adopted the plan of slaughter
which was partly carried Into execution
which succeeded as to President Lin
coln, but failed as to Secretary Seward
and Vice President Johnson and that
Surratt could have had no knowlcdgu
of tills murderous conspiracy or partic
ipation in Its guilt, unless present In
Washington at thu time. Wu believe,
however, that In thueharguof thu Judge
theru was no reference whatever to the
conspiracy for abducting tlie President
nor to Hooth's diary ns ll.xlng, or us
evidence lending to tlx, tlio time when
the conspiracy to murder was formed.
Hut not only wero tlio Jury not in
structed by the Judge that participation
by Surratt in the conspiracy to abduct
i If believed i would bu iiisiilllclent to his
conviction for murder theoH'cncucliargid
in the indictment but they were In
structed that although do (Surratt) was
absent from Washington mid not an
actual participant in tho commission of
tlie crime, lie could lie convicted if he
was concerned or Implicated in tho con
splracy to murder, and was elsewhere
In pursuance of Its objects or to promote
their accomplishment. This portion of
the charge was so uncalled for, so mis
leading and so unjust, that it fully con
vinces Us of the unfitness of the Judge
to preside upon the trial. Hu instigates
tliejury tocoiivk't.tilthough they should
be convinced that Surratt was in Klmira
at tlio time of thu murder, mid hu sug
gests (without evidence, reason, or pro
bability,! that lie may have been theru
in pur.-uance of the conspiracy mid in
furtherance of Its Object-.
Submitting such a question to tho
Jury without proof, is something more
than a Judicial impropriety; it is put
ting thu life of thu defendant in peril
without the slightest warrant of law and
in contempt of thu plainest principles
of justice. No onu has been able to
describe or ilellno the assistance which
Surratt could render at Klmlra to thu
iis-a-sinatiou, nor did any witness testify
to any fact or circumstance from willed
such assistance, actual or contemplated,
could be Inferred. Hut what must be
thought of tills part of Judge Kisher's
charge when we remember what took
placu at a previous stago of the trial
when evhlcncu was being Introduced for
the defence'.' Thu counsel for tho de
fense alter proving .Surratt's presence 111
Klmlra, propo-cd to prove,aud produced
witnesses to prove, what hi bimines
there iciii, mid irhy he unit there. They
oll'ered to show fully and completely
tdat Ills vi-lt there was foradistinctand
known purpo-e, having no relation
whatever to thu abduction or murder of
the Pre-ident of thu I'uited States.
This evidence was rejected by the Court
upon the ground that it was irrelevant ;
upon tlie ground that It was not Impor
tant to the decision of thu ca-u to know
why Surratt went to Klmlra at that
time or what was his business theru;
that this proposed proof could not affect
the question upon trial bcfoiothu uiurt
concerning tho commission of the mur
der at Washington. And yet the same
-Judge who rejected tills proof after
wards instructed thu Jury that they
might Und that Surratt was at Klmir.i
upon tlie business of tlio conspiracy t
niiirdcraiid to promote itsobjects! In all
past history of Courts, never was theru
a more llagr.mt outrage upon lawjustlco
and public decency than this Infamous
instruction ! I'or, not only was It with
out proof in thu cause to warrant it, but
it v,u in impudent and wicked disre
gard of tlie prior rejection of evidence
by the Jndgo himself! Ho shuts out
the proof of Innocence und then sub
mits to the Jury thu question of guilt!
Ho stops the months of thu defendant's.
wilne-ses, and then instigates thujury
lo convict him for lack of the very evi
dence suppressed!
Tliero wero other parts of tlio charge
so opposed to prol'e-s-ioual opinion anil
so extravagant in sentiment, that they
have Justly provoked much of critl
clsiii and censure. The Judge coolly
informed the Jury that although the
law rotating to murder had been held
not to Include as a principal In guilt
an accessory before the fact who Is not
present at the commission of the offence,
or In a situation to yield assistance In
Its commission; though this had been
the doi'triuii of tho Knglisli Judges from
whom wu derive thu principles of the
common law, yet tho re.ions given by
lliosu judges for tdeir dcci-ioiis had not
bet a tatl-J'nctoi! to him, and ho would
therefore hold to a different doctrine for
the purposcsof the present trial ! That,
in Ids view, rejecting tlio authorities hi
question, an accessory before tlio fact,
unconcerned in tho actual commission
of murder, might bo convicted upon an
Indictment charging him as a principal
in thu oll'cnco. l-'or tills doctrine ho ci
ted certain pas-age.sofScrlplure among
others onu relating to thu murder of
Naboth at the Instance of Jezebel mid

we suppose, will hardly regard as appli

I He also alllnucil the proposition sub-
mlttid by tin-counsel for tho prosecu
tion, tlmt to murder tlio President ofthe
I'nlted States Is, In point of Inn; a high
er oll'ciiso than to murder a private clt-
I ly.cn, and Is to bo so regarded even upon
tho trial of an Indictment for murder
ing him us mi Individual without nam
ing him In Ids olllclal capacity. Tlio
Judge does not define thlshlgheroll'cusc;
hu does not assign It mi appropriate
Hume, nor Inform us what coiisuqcuccs
! result fiom distinguishing it from com
1 mou murder, Whut then this new or
r ar ss-
higher oik-nsc may be, either as to ties.
Ignatlon or character, we cannot saj( nor
tiro vc likely to becomy'eiillgdtened
tlicrcon until tlicresdall bo solno new
revelation from tlio judicial mind.
Ill that limned of homicide known as
murder, tdu lilgdest grade Is murder In
tdu lirst degree, which may bu commit
ted In taking tlie life of the humblest
human being. Thu law of murder, like
death Itself, "Is no respector of persons,"
and In any case of felonious homicide
subject to Its classification, It llxes thu
gradu of guilt according to the turpi
tude of tlio net done und not uccoidlng
to the rank or merit uf the victim.
Hut there Is an oll'enco which takes
rank above murder both In tdujurlsprii
deneo of lids country and of foreign
countries. It Is tieiisou, willed always
Involves malignity against government
anil Is directed to its overthrow or sub
version. Tho overt act by which trea
son Is manifested and made Judicially
cognizable, may bo murder or may he
something ele, but thu gravamen ofthe
oll'eiisu In all cases must be the traitor
ous intention mid purpo-e.
In CJreat Hrltaln, "compassing thu
Klng'fl death," that is, plotting his In
dividual destruction, was long since
made- treason by statute, as well as thu
direct taking ol tlie King's life. And
the law extended tothotjueen or King's
wife, mid to thu Heir apparent ofthe
Crown. And in that country upon
conviction of trea-on njudgmelit might
pass agalil-t the oU'ender not only for
Ids execution, but also for forfeiting ids
properly to tlie crown and attainting
Ids blood so as to render his heirs inca
pable of Inheriting from him or through
him. Tlie-o were provisions of Hrltlsh
law and policy in contemplation of our
fathers when tliey formed tlio Constitu
tion of tlie Cnlted States. What then
did they say and declare in that Consti
tution in regard to treason in the Cnitod
Stales'.'
"Art. :i, Sec. :i. Trea-on against tlio
I'uited Slates shall consist only in levy
ing war against them, or in adhering to
their enemies giving tliein aid mid
comfort. No person shall bo convicted
of trea-on unle-s on thu testimony of
two witnesses to the samo overt act, or
on confession in open Court.
" Thu Congress shall have power to
declare the punishment of treason, but
no attainder of treason sluill work cor
ruption of blood or forfeiture except
during tliu life of thu person attuij.itcd."J
Ileru then we liavu explicit provisions,
dcllning the olleiico of treason and lim
iting the punishment to be indicted
therefor. And they exclude all tho-6
treaons of tho Hritl-h law which rein-
ted lo the King, Queen or Heir Appa -
rem, mm irresisitoiy also exclude anil to thu letter. Thu Hadlcals s.iy thu
forbid any po-siblu statute- by Congress doctrine is treasonable. Thev assert
making tlio felonious killing of the that an Individual can discharge his
President, Vico President, or other olli- indebtedness by oll'erlng to pay in cur
cur of the (ioverinnent, to bu treason In rency, when ho. has promised to pay in
the United State-. No such statute has coin ; and why cannot thu Covernmciit
ever been passed by Congress, nor uvci, do this us well us an individual. Thev
will be so long as the Constitution re
tains its present form. 1
Hut Judgu Fisher appears to long fo
tlio foreign law of treaon, and Indicate
ids idea that it lias in some way founi
a placu In our Judicial system, llov
tills has happened and wheio tho au
thority for ids opinion is to bo found ii
does not explain. Wu suspect that, i
point of fact, lie has no clear ideas upo
tho subject and we are very conlldec
that ho can produce no authority whin
will support him In tho ex traord iuav
position do lias assumed. 1
I Jo it remembered tdattlio Indictnlet
tried before the Judge was for murilr
simply; that none of the proeeeiUns
peculiar to a cu-o of treason weruhiidn
theca-e; und that if the defcndaiit'hd
been convicted the Judgment 'pi
nounccd would havo been tlio ordinry
onu in a ca-e of murder. If therefro
the defendant was to lie properly tr d
upon thu charge preferred agalnsO Jin
by tlie 11 rand Jury in the lndlctmot,
all consideration of the law of troitMi,
or of any other oll'enco "hlglier"t.in
ordinary murder f.'j, should have I en
carefully excluded from tho ea-e," Vo
will only ii.kl on tills point that theiw
of murder is perfectly eil'eclual ftmho
punishment of tho nlk'nce. Upon on
fiction the life of the offender i.r then
nnd thu samo result would bu acini-pli-hcd
upon conviction for trtion,
under the Federal Constitution, t Is
not necessary therefore to dovisoiiew
crimes or new grades of crime in '-der
to punish ell'ectually a wretch wiioliall
murder thu President of tlio Ulted

As Is well known the Jury Ii lids

and four for conviction. Heing liable
to agree they were discharged tlio

JUDOK 8IIAUSWOOD AND LE-hi
OAL TENDEHS.
So.mi: of "tlio little creatures" whom:
(liecleysays"an inscrutable Provhlenco
penults to edit yoinu of thu minor lie
publican Journal-," have uiidcrtaketi to
make a little capital for their bankrupt
organization out of a decision once ren
dered hy Judge Sharswood, which they
iittemit to tortilrcluto a declaration that
greenbacks are unconstitutional and not
a legal lender for debts.
Tlie facts of tho case are simply and
brlclly the-u: A man held a ground relit
mortpige, given In 17-'U, In which it was
stipulated that tho annual rent should
be p-ild In Sianhh milled dollar, by
leeiyht. After tho passago of thu law
making greenbacks a legal tedder ,for
debt, tho holder of tho ground-rent
mortgage agreed to extinguish tlio
mortgage for a consideration, and tlio
purchaser, (thu owner of thu ground)
tendered both thu principal and Inter
est la greenbacks. The bolder agreed
to incept greenbacks for the principal,
but Insisted that thu contract demanded
tlits payment of Spanish milled dollars
for the Interest. Tho other party main
tallied that the greenback law made
greiiibacks a legal tender for all debts,
whither contracted slnco thu act was
pas-ed or before. Thu case was takun
Inti coiut and Judge Sharswood decid
ed hal tlie interest upon the ground
run' mortgage of IT-'l'J would have to bo
pall according to the demands of tlie
coi.tract.
Vitd their usual unfairness, the 1 tall
ica journals dccllnu to publish this
opinion in full, but conllne their attacks
toJiucndoes. Jf they did publish it,
w. venture tliu opinion that tho sound-
n. s of tlmt decision would he endorsed
bj. every intelligent man of tlielr party.
Inf.ict prominent Itepublicans declare
tl.it that decision would be tlie very
bet electioneering document thu friends
of Judge Sharswood could Use. It is
mi triiu that opinion pretended to vlli
ii'' greenbacks as a legal tender for
d Ids contracted since tin- enactment of
t 0 national currency law, nor in any
c-u of indebtedness contracted prior to
t e passage of that law, except 111 cases
lierc a special contract stipulated that
liytneiit should lie made In a certain
1 escribed manner.
If tin- Itadicalsnf Pennsylvania desire
') iiiako this mi ue in the eomingju
ilcial contest lnthlsStuto, the friends of
udge Sharswood will have no objec
Ion. Let us .sou how it will work. Tlio
.'nlted States fioverniiient lias agreed
o pay certain of its bonds in coin.
Iiulgu .Sharswood says It must alible bv
its obligations. This is thu eciice of
thu contract, and It must bo pieformcd
tried this game, two yearsago, in regard
to thu Statu debt. The faith of our
Statu stood solemnly pledged that the
Interest on certain bonds should bo paid
In coin. The pledge was deliberately
violated and the Interest paid in paper
money. So may tin-pledge of tlio ua
tioiniHiovcrninont bu violated, If the
Radicals 11 ml It convenient to do so;
and under Radical law the bondholder
will have no redress in thu courts.
What do tho holders of national securi
ties say to tills'.' Are they willing to
eiidoi-su the doctrine that an agreement
to pay a certain sum in yotilor "Spuninh
initial dollar" may liu canceled by the
tender of paper currency'.' If they do,
let them vole for Henry W. Williams,
and .-ubmlt to a discount of l,.'l'.)ou tliu
iutere.-t of tlieir bonds, at the hands of
tho Radical Party.
Tlio Radicals denounce this decision
as a stab at the credit of the nation. If
this bo so, the Radical leaders are re
sponsible for the llrst stub tbeni-elves,
for they have set thu llrst example of
repudiation of their own currency, by
declaring that it would not bo acknowl
edged as a legal tender in payment of
intere-t upon certain of lis bonds, The
principles of Judge Sharswood's decis.
,ioii will keep the national faith invlolato
with the nation's bondholders, mid will
maintain the national credit. It sim
ply endorses that plain principle of com
mon honesty, upon which rests the
credit of the whole business world- that
a man shall do what he agrees lo do,
and shall not be released by tlie law up
on doing le-s than lie has pronii-ed to
do. It simply declares that a man who
has agreed to pay onu hundred dollars
in gold, shall not havo fill 11 1 ii. I Ids con
tract by payment of one hundred dollars
in paper, which is only worth sixty-one
dollar in gold. Tills Is what Judge
Sharswood's decl-lon moans and wo un
willing to accept tlio i-siic in all Its
length and breadth. (trcensltary flcnib
