several pioyisions of the Constitution abolishing
slavery, declaring the immunities of citizens, and
guaranteeing a Republican form of government
'by "securing[ the elective franchise to colored per

introduced by Mr. Sumner during the former ses
sion. It declares that all constitutions, laws
or regulations of any State or Territory in aid
of slavery, or approving of. the same, are null
and void &c., and resolves that every citizen

hereafter may be enacted, and eYery custom and,

American Union. '
that every citizen of such State
owes paramount allegiance to the United States,
and that no law or ordinance of such State, in
subtersion or contravention of the authority of
- the United States, can have any binding force.
. Mr. Edmunds (Vt.) asked, and by unanimous
consent obtained, leave to bring in a bill in ex
' planation of the Reconstruction acts. It declares
the true intent and meaning of the • same to be
that the military authority of the United States
- in the rebel States is paramount to any-civil go-,
Vernment existing therein, making all such civil
• governments subordinate to the militaryauthority,
and prohibits them from interfering in any way
with the exercise of such Military authority.

mous consent obtained leave to bring in a bill
further supplementary to the Reconstruction
acts, and to give true construction to the same.
First, That they shall be construed to authorize
the officer assigned to the command of any mill
.tary district under said act,whenever he shall deem
it necessary to the dueperformance of his duty,
to remove or suspend from office any ; officer or
person exercising authority under any so-called
State governments existing In his district, and to
appoint another person in the stead of the officer
or person so removed, and to authorize
the officer assigned to the command, of any
military district whenever he may deem it no
cessary, to prohibit, suspend or set aside aurae
lion or proceeding of such State government, or
done under its authority, it being the. intention
of said act that during its continuance the said
so-called State governments of the rebel States
shall be allowed to continue only as provisional
governments, subordinate to and subject to the
control of the officers assigned to the military
districts aforesaid respectively, and all nets here
tofore elone ' by any such officer in accordance

Theodore Benjamin Rhodes sworn—Witness

there since 1862; works at repairing clocks and
watches, and working in his garden; was here the
day Mr.'
Lincoln.was assassinated; knows Ford's
Theatre; on that day was in the theatreilt was
about half an holir of twelve o'clock; went in to
see the theatre; went down tolook on the stage,
and while there saw one of the box-doors open a
little, and being desirous of seeing the stage from
that pohet, . went down' there; as witness ap-.
proached, whoever was there walked away, and
witness stopped 'there some time and went' out,
and the party behind, who had been In the box
previously, came up and spoke to witness, and
said he was connected with the theatre; he had a
piece of wood in 'his hand about ' eight feet long
and two Inches wide, and remarked that the
President would be there that nii.ght, and was
going to fix the box so the . President could not
be disturbed; he then placed the stick, which was
of oak or pine, against the door and a niche in the
wail, and adjusted it, asking If Witness thought
it would hold.
--The prisoner was requested to stand up, and
witness stated that he should judge that was the
man; had no doubt about it; heard some one
ipassing behind the stage curtain, and this man
mmediately went away, and a short, thick-set
man came in; he hallooed to some one: "Hallo!
hallo! Ned," (or Dick—think it was Ned) "come
here and bring up them things." but the man
didn't answer; he repeated call three or four

him they must hurry, as theyoiiTklied - aithour;' -
that the President was coining, and there was
but a_short time to Ilk up. ' le told UM man to go
down to the oflice•and bring up the big arm
chair; the prisoner went out before these parties
came to the box.
Cross-examined-It -was between 11 and .12
o'clock when witness went to the
_theatre; shortly
after witness loft-the theatre the b ells rung for 12
o'clock; must have been there, noar half an hour
after the prisoner left the box, supposes it was
about fifteen minutes that witnesses stayed; as
witness approached the box the man in it went
out, and afterwards' returned, as witness sup
poses, and spoke to witness; he was punching at
the wall, when witness . saw the stick which he
was adjusting to the wall; he had on a small, low,
black sort of a jockey hat; think he had very
little beard, but not certain as to that; his
beard was light; after he spoke of being an
actor witness took more notice of him, as
judging what sort of actor he would be; was so
near the stage that ho could hal/0 seen persons on.
the stage if any had been there; can't tell which
side of the building this box was on; think it was
on the left side; when in the box it was twenty-
Bye or thirty feet to the scenery; was never sum
moned as a witneas:before- in this-case; don't re
member when witness first spoke of these things;
might have spoke, of it to his wife; witness
dropped a line to the attorney a week agolast
Sunday, stating that witness knew something
about this case, but didn't know to whose ad
vantage it would be; read the conspiraey'evi
deuce; witness didn't suppose at the time that
what witness knew would be of any account.
By Mr. Carrington—Witness wrote the letter
to the District Attorney, and was sent for,., and,
when witness saw the prisoner, recognized him
as the man he had talked with in the box at the
theatre; witness-looked at the man pretty
-squarelyoad-thought-he _could learn his part
very well, but would not make much orati ac
tor, because lie, bad a face with little expression
in it.
By Mr. Bradley—Had seen Mr. Carrington and
the other lawyer of the prosecution, but did not
know he (Mr. Carrington) was District Attorney.
By a Juror—Have never seen that stick since
that day; it was beveled each way from the centre;
the hole in the wall was three-quarters of an inch
wide and one and a half inches long, and he whit
tled the stick to make it fit the place in the wall.
• Mr. Wilson here stated, at 11.45 A. M., that the
United States would have 'a witOess here from
Baltimore at 12 M,, and that it would perhaps be
as-well to take a recess at this titne, and by the
time of reassembling that witness would be here.
Accordingly, the Court ordered a recess until 12.15
P. M.
On reassembling at 12.30 o'clock, David 11.
Bates was sworn and examined by mr. pierrepont.
Witness is twenty-four years old to-day.
Mr. Pierrepont said he proposed to put in the
hands of witnesses two letters written by Surratt
to Weiehmati on November 12 and September 21,
and the cards of Wilkes Booth and Surma, which
were already in evidence.
Witnness said that he had teen the letters of
Surratt and the card of Booth, but not the card of
Surratt.
Mr. Pierrepont proposed to .put in evidence a
letter directed to Atzerodt, dated Washington, D.
C., April 15, ono day after the assassination:
Witness identified the letter, and said he first
saw it in the War Department mail a short time
after the date; he placed the letters E. L. S. on
the outside of the envelope that it might go to
Mr. E. L. Stanton. The witness is a telegraph
operator at present, and was in charge a the
War Department telegraph °Vice from Aty,lBo,
to December, 1860, and had the general manage
ment of the office; from June, 1862, he had
charge of the cipher telegraphs; had deciphered
many cipher letters and letters in disguised hands,
and he had great knowledge and experience as
an expert.
Q. Do you think you know the handwriting of
•the letter?
A. I do know it.
Q. What knowledge have you of the handwrit
in g?
A. I never saw the party who wrote this writ
ing, but I have seen handwriting signed by the
patty:whom 1 believe to nevi\ written this.
Mr. Bradley objected, and said that the, ques
tion was if they could prove whether the letters
referred to were in the handwriting of the same
party. - . ,
Mr. Pierrepont contended that the .question
had been settled in this country and In England.
Judge Fisher eaid he understood that the pa
pers were in evidence, and said he would admit
the evidence. The defence excepted.
Witness—l believe the handwriting of the letter
and the envelope to be in the handwriting of the
prisoner. •• • • • ,
The letter referred to was read, as follows
"S. P.—C. R.—All right. Signed—"Toney."
The witness said there was something in every
man's writing peculiar.
Witness was here handed the Selby letter, and
said it' was a disguised hand, and,, comparing it
with the telegrams of Booth. he would say . that
It was in his handwriting.
• Cross-examined by Mr. Merrick—Never saw
Booth write, but from the tw,o telegrams would
say that the Selby letter was written by Booth;
there was a resemblance in the capital letter "L".
in "Dear Louis" and the "L" in "O'Laughlin's"
name; in the "E's" of "Esquire" and "Exeter" in
the telegram, and "English" in the letter; there is
no particular mark, but, they resemble each other
in their general features; the "E's" in the tele
rams and letters are disconnected in the Selby
fetter; he observed two "L's" hewing the same
peculiarity as the "L" In the telegraptn noticed a
reseniblanee in the "L's" also; from those resem
blances and the general character of the hand
writing he judged; he first se* the inclosure of
the Atzerodt envelope on the-same day it came to
the °thee; did not know who •opened it.
Witness was handed another letter, one of
Surratt's, which he said he had never seen
before. •
William S. Thompson sworn. and examined by
Mr. Pierrepont. Witness is a druggist at Fif
teenth street since 1859; Harold was a clerk to
witness in 1862 or 1863, coming about March 1,
and was discharged about July 4 following; I was
tolerably familiar with his handwriting; Presi
dent Lincoln was in the habit of getting his medi
cine there, and I suppose he got some while
Harbld was there.
William Norton,ewom—Witness lives at Char
lotte Hall, St. Mary's county ; Md., and came
here over two weeks ago to testify; the witnea
had seen Mr. Wilson, Mr. Carrington, Judge
Holt and Mr. Barr ; _ in April, 1864, the witness
lived —, T. 8., and iu the month previous
saw some arms which were brought there by
Harold,.coribisting of some guns, two carbines, a'
knife, pistol, a piece of rope, wrench, &c.; Harold
came in the night, and the things were placed in
the bar-room; on the next morning Harold fired
his pistol oil', and left, taking the arms with
him, going towards the city ; saw the two
carbines . o r carbines -like them, at the provost
marshal's a short time after the assassination ;
Harold was alone, and said' he was going to
Benedict a ducking; T. B. is about five. miles
from Surrattville, but there was a road which
turned off, and he mg , have turned oil there;.
Harold asked witness if Surratt had been there,
and said he expected him; Surratt did not come
that night; saw Surratt on the 3d of April, 1865,
he came there on the stage,' and left at 2.30 or
3 o'c ock; that was the last time he saw Surratt;
the
w, se that he had been tochmond; Surratt
had conversation with witness; he paid witness
i 1152.50; which he owed for staying there over
night; witness had seen the prisoner at the house
with Atzerodt, but they die not come or leave
together.
Mr. Bates was recalled for further cross-exami
nation, and was handed the register of St. Law
rence Hall, by Mr. Merrick, and asked to find
any signature which he recognized. The witness
did so, and said he recognised two, Frank Drum
mond and John Harrison ; neither in disguised
handwriting, and he also found the name of Har
rison on two other pages.
By Mr. Plerrepont—l believe .the signature
John Harrison to be in the handwriting of the
prisoner Surratt.
Mr. Merrick asked that it summons be issued
for Mr. Bates as a witnest for the defence.
Mr. Carrington said that they had but two or
three witnesses, Who are not in attendance, and
they would have to ask the indulgence of the
court. If - they were here the prosecution would
be able to close to-day,.hut as they were not, the
prosecution would ask an adjournment to Fri
day, promising to close the ease at as early hour
on that day.
The court took a recess until half-past ten
o'clock on Friday.

Ninety-One years ago there had not waved the
flag-of the Republic. Its mission in the land of

ing the protracted and bloody war of the Revo
lution, the second War of Independence closed
with the glorious victory of New Orleans. The
war that ended in our hairnets floating over the
halls of the Montezumas, and the four years of
horrid civil discord ' from which we are just
emerging, saw it the presiding geniuti of all our
battles, both on sea and land, from Lexington to
Appomattox, and to-day that flag is here. It
stall taunts the breeze. American hearts ,itre
gathered about it; American eyes aregazing upon
its stripes and stars, and American bosoms are
swelling with patriotie pride.
It is not my Intention to make a Fourth. of
July speech, although the time might not be in
-appropriate, but-undertheAegis_oLthatglorious
banner, upon the fourth anniversary of the ter
mination of the' decisive battles of Gettysburg
and Vicksburg,. to inaugurate' one of the most
splendid victories cf peace. It is' perhaps neces
sary On an occasion like 'this, when a new era. is
inaugurated . in the history of the State Library,
. that I should. say aomet g of the origin, and
‘
trace the growth of the lepartment from the
earliest dates we have of i s existence down to
the present time. The first knowledge we have
'of this library is derived front the records of the
Supreme-Executivo Council of 1777. In Septeni
tier of that year, prior to the occupation of Phila
delphia by the British 111111 y, an order was issued
by the Council, 'directing the removal of the books
of the library for safe-keeping to Easton, North
ampton county.
After the Executive Council had returned from
Lancaster, where it had its sessions while the
British possessed Philadelphia, the books of the
Library were reshipped to that city. This is the
earliest knowledge we have Of our State Library,
so that this departslent, presenting at this open
leg so much al chitectural grace and magnificence,
' has a place in the annals of our revolutionary
struggle, laid as it shared the danger which
crowded the path of the infant Republic emerg-
ing into the sisterhoed of nations, so was it placed
in Jeopardy again when the full-grown giant was
compelled to contend within itself let its own
life. On the 26th of June, 1863, a few days' before
the battle of Gettysburg, when it was thought, t ,
that a rebel army would reach Harrisburg, the
entire Library was packed in cars a few squares
from the building and conveyed to Philadelphia,
finding a place of safety, whence, in 1777, it was
removed in order to save it from the British.
Many of the relics of the original library, in the
shape •of ponderous folios in the substantial
binding of that age, still occupy honorable -posi
tions on its shelves, and; as we view the quaint
old shelves, our imagination is involuntarily car
ried, back to the noble men whose minds pon
dered the great truths which their pages contain.
We are reminded that Franklin, the philosopher:
Godfrey, the inventor of the quadrant; Ritten
house, the 'astronomer; Wilson, the great orni
thologist; Morris, the financier; Logan,the learned
-Provincial-Secretary; Bartram„the_nattimlist:.
West, the historical painter; Lindley Murray. of
grammar fame; Fitch and Fulton,the inventors of
steam navigation., the Claypoles,the Galloways, the M
Pembertons, the orrises, and a host of other of
provincial worthies, patriots, philanthropists;
Christians and liberal statesmen patronized. fos
tered and frequented the old locality of the li
brary, and could thereturn to view the improve
ments made On • their ideas -of government, and
contemplate the development of a country. which
they loved so much, nothing . would excite their
admiration more than the liberality displayed in
the present condition of the State Library. After
the adoption of the first Constitution, the Senate
and House of Representatives each for its own
use, ordered the purchase of books. By this sys
tem three libraries, all owned by the State, were
maintained under the control of co-ordinate:
branches of the goyernment.
In 1816 these libraries were consolidated by the
Lrovisions of an act of Assembly, which made the
ibrarian annually elective by that body. There
am i no records—no catalogues in existence, bilOW
ing the number and classification or the books in
the library at the consolidation of 1816. In 1829
the first regular catalogue was published, the ca
talogue in existence prior to that time being with
out date,and purporting merely to give the num
ber and title of the books belonging to the Senate
and Rouse of Representatives. According to this
catalogue, there were 4,838 volumes in the library,
of which 2,152 were miscellaneous books, 8.53
law books. and 1,833 statute, law and State
papers. In 1839 the second regular catalogue
was printed by the Joint Library Committee.. The
number of books in the library at that time was
11,577.
In 1854 an act was passed providing for the ap.
pointment of a librarian every three years by the
Governor, on the 30th of March of that year. The
Librarian, in answer to an inquiry made by the
House of Representatives, reported that he had
carefully counted the books on the shelves of the
library and those in the hands of individuals, and
estimated the number of volumes, including du
plicates and broken sets, at 13,000. In 1859 the
Librarian, in his anneal report, computed the
books belonging to the library ils follows: 9,616
miscellaneous books, 3,600 law b00k5,4,123 statute
laws and State papers, 4,210 duplicate Legislative
and Congressional documents, 155 maps, 111
plates and 3 paintings—Making a total of 21,923
volumes, maps, plates and paintings.
Since 1859, the annual average increase of the
library, I am informed by the present able and
efficient Librarian ? Mr. Forney,may b_e_eomputed
at 8,000 volumes, including books purchased, ex
changes of the different States of the United
States, donations, and the usual documents pub
lished by the State. Counting this increase from
1859 to 1867 with the books then in the library,
we have a grand total of 28,323 volumes now on
the shelves. The appropriation made in P 1864
for the extension of the Capitol was demanded
not only by the wants Of both branches of the
Legislature, but was made necessary to afford in
creased room for the books of the State Library.
All the available space in the old Library room
was occupied, and for the few years prior to the
removal of the books into this room,
a very large
proportion of things were packed away in the
cupboard, in boxes, and in the attic of the main
building, in such a manner as to render their ac
cess for use in many instances, almost impossible.
It has been •computed that the capacity of this
room, as at present arranged, will accommodate
35,000 volumes. In the future, as the library in
creases, fiTe b -fe s -Vhirinriti t -rodiice k -byw g -r i - c-thirds
thirds more shelving space than that now pre
sented to the eye will be secured, thus afford
ing accommodation in the single room for over
100,000 volumes, without encroaching on the
parallelogram outside the railings.
There is not another single library room hi the
United States, at present' capable, or which can
be made to accommodate so large a number of
volumes. To complete the financial history of
the extension of the Capitol and the construction
of this magnificent department, it is right and
proper that the people should know that the cost
of this entire work is liquidated from sources that
.impose no burdens upon them.. Neither in a di
rect pr indirect way have the people of the State
been called upon to pay the expense of. this en
terprise. By section thirty-one of the General
Appropriation law of 1864, it is enacted that, for
the purpose of raising revenue to meet the ap
propriation made do to this, an additional enroll
ment tax of ton dollars should be charged upon
every private bill passed by the Legisture, ex
cepting those granting pensiohs and - gratuities.
The amount of revenue from this source last year
was near faks,ooo.
• Thus it will be seen that the entire cost of the
Capitol extension will be liquidated in a very few
years, without resorting to taxation In a general
way. It is not for me, in thus formally inaugu
rating the new department of the library,•to ex
patiate upon the beauty of its architectural de
sign, and the excellent perfection of its mechani-
cal workmanship. The public who view the work
must pronounce judgment thereon. Certainly
all who were concerned in originating the accofw
modations, in providing-the means of scenting
_them, in furnishing the architectural plans and
in performingthe mechanical work,are_worthy of
the hlgheat praise. The liberality of the State is
vindicated by improvements of this kind, and
-here the people of all classes, subject to certain
rules and regulations, are at liberty to. use this
library for self-improvement.
The young are thus afforded advantages
accorded but seldom in. the ages that are past.
They may conic here and store their minds with
richest treasures, thus fitting themselves, not
only to appreciate the munificence of the govern
ment:under which they live, but to protect and
preserve and-transmit, unimpaired in greatness
ro those who are to come after them, and to ap
preciate that, wherever American, liberty flour
ishes, wherever the American .bannli waves,
there Is their common country and the common
home.
