Amuse Lyman, Orson Hyde and °mull Pratt, who have been numbered among the Twelve Apostles, have been denounced by Brigham Young as having apostatized from the fitith, and it is understood that they have a largo number of followers. They declare their dc termination to resist the succession of Brig ' ham Young, Jr., at(' head of the Mormon church. ,; The difficulty seems to be as much one of finance as Of faith, the exclusive con trol of the funds of the church by thel Youngs being-apparently Mgarded as quite as-dan— gerous as is the lodging of absolute power. It is a scandal to the age and the nation that such a civil and ecclesiaStical despotism as that of the Yotings should exist in any part of the United States, and especially that its Ibundation should rest on the licentious and detestable practice of polygamy, which is con trary to the laws in every other part of the country. Decent people should, therdbre, luid will, rejoice at any circumstance that in dicates discord among the' fiillowers of the vile doctrine. The institution 01 Mormon ism is scarcely one for the suppression of Which a military force should be called out. 'fhat would savor of persecution, and all history proves that moral and social evils can- not be eradicated by such means. It is impossible that an infamous institution like that of3fortnonistu should long continue inn country like the United States. The only thing that has prevented its abolition before this is the remoteness and isolation of . Utah. Civilization and republicanism have been shut out by vasty uninhabited and desert plains and by lofty mountains. As these are occupied or overcome by advancing popu lation, the heresy against religion, morality and decency must give•way,_ and perhaps it is as well to await the silent but irresistible • --ress of these agents. The Mormons see 74 1 "'er - advancing with rapid strides, them even nori and it is probably this that has lea tt) tho recent disorders and symptoms a rebellion against the supreme autho , f i ty of Brigham ybung7 — Theiltwitie - UP. ; :irond is proaching the Salt take ihnir the East and the West. Immigration of decent, energetic and independent men follows closely in its tracks, and these are destined to overshadow and finally extinguish the Mormon supersti tion. It is only now maintained by the im portation of deluded and ignorant creatures from Great nritain, Sweden. and other Eitio, limn countries. The time cannot be tar• distant when, under the influence of the Pacific Railroad, Utah ' will have a population sufficient to warrant an application for admission into the Union as a - State. The Constitution of the United States gutaantees to each State a Republican form of government. This cannot be given so long as the despotism of Brigham Young continues. It will be the duty, therefore, of a future Congress to see that this desiiotisni is abolished, and as soon as the civil power is taken from Young and his suc cessors., his so-called religion will die a natural death. It is us well, perhaps, to wait 'for this; in the meantime exercising a strict control over the territorial authorities, and letting the Mormons of: Utalt see, as the rebels of the A Soutli in this countt;~` the Ftrderal authority is paramount. THE GER:TIAN FESTIVAL. The elements have been propitious during the past few days, and the Germans front abroad who have thronged our streets have been favored with very tine specimens of Philadelphia weather. There has 'not been an hour of uncomfortable heat; anti the shower which occurred yesterday seems to have been expresly ordered for the comfort of the thousands who went in the procession to the • Pie Nic to-day at Engel Wolf& Farm. This closing day of the Tenth Ger man Sitngerfests formal proceedings, is a fit ting finale to a festival that has been enjoyed by all Philadelphia as heartily as it has been by its German visitors. The remarkably good order that has been maintained by the vast crowd of strangers in the city has, more than ever, commended to . our citizens the pleasant distort) orcultivatiug music. No huge assemblage of men of vari ous ages, -from all- parts of the Eastern and Middle States, could possibly have conducted themselves with more dignity. Their good behavior, however, was not more to be ad mired than their good humor; and it is easy to believe that in both these traits of the mul titude, the relining influence of music can be scot. Can there not be musical missionary • societies to gO among the youth of American birth, or of Irish birth, in the chief cities, and organize them into singing societies after the manner of the Germans? For the lack of such Societies out young men go and Joni fire companies, in numbers ten times as great as are required, and thus habits of idleness and vice are acquired, the fruits of which are so often seen in distiiiimmeera like that which disgraced this city night before last. But this is a branch of the: subject that may be considered mbre fully and more seriously again. Our prcf,ent object in chiefly. to acknowledge the pleasure that the citizens or Philadelphia, of all natiOnalities, inive derived froirg the Tenth St: Ingerlimt; and to assuri. , the thousands of visiting strangers that they have tsommended their race and the lovely art CO which they devote so much time, to the cordial respect and the grateful regard of all I vor good people. That their stay atnong us may continue to be pleasant, and that they may all arrive safely at their homes after it is over, is-the honest-hpiat:of GoTII.AMITE COUR rESEES. New York is a great itity, and the press of Now 'With is a groat press. All the rest, of the,United Stales and of the world at large is provincial. Whatever is great, good sod wise, elegant,. refined or beautiful, find's, Its proper embodiment on the island of the Manhatta nese. Thither the tribes go up to worship, and from it go forth the laws that are to go vern the social; political and literary world. The press of "the provinces" has recently been thvored with one or two new revelations on the general subject of manners, which May, at. first, take the--unsophisticated a little by surprise, but Which must be right because 'New York Buys so: A few days ago, Mr. Raymond, of the 'Time*, on the eve of his departure to Eu rope, whither he is determined to go whether CongreSs will send hint or not, had a (limier given to hint at the Athen:eum Club. A choice selection of the New York press graced the festive occasion: The Recit ig Post, the Tribune and the Tito all sent their shining lights. The -Herald and the World do not appear in the published reports, and. it is to be presumed that they Were more than the would-be,Austrian Minis ter could stomach at:his festive board. The text for the evening was "Henry J. Ray mond," lull there was a prospect of a series of delightful eulogies upon the modest object o_f_the.feast. But, as in the l.ays of Job, when these SODS of the prophets came to present themselves before the object of their worship, Satan also (in the shape of 'Theodore Tilton) came in with them nil straightway the fun began. Mr. Beecher and Mr. Dana, of the Dothion j(iiiintil Yet 16 otiniti, had di:livered themselves of their eulogies, When uprose he of the .hulepr nth ot, and with that rare good taste which marks the true son or Not' - York, pronounced a panegyric 011 the hnla pciulenf and carefully explained that his com pliments to ',lir. 1631110nd must all be taken in a Pickwiekian and postprandial sense. Tilton t bouglit that Mtymond had "departed on' sundry and divers occasions, too numerous to n!vntion," from the paths or political coca tude, end while lie enjoyed the dinner he could mil torment to flatter the host. Tilton has hitroduced 4 novelty into colopliowntai'y dinners, and it is mierstood hereafter that if you want to punch zt tmut's head, you mist either invite him to dirther, or go to his (-Wi ner and get, him wedged fide his artn,ehair, replete with good things, before yott begin your attack. The Raymond diners, from Tilt Oa on, were slightly disturbed in their devotions. The grand purpose of glorifying Raymond was interrupted with raids upon the fade pendent, and it required the re-inforcement of Miles O'Reilly, Mr. Young of thy ,Tribtenc, ha others, to bring the e st.3 :B Of rue guests back to the great- business of the evening. , Mr. Roosevelt of the "Citizen's Association" _brought ti_votive_offeringiu_the_shape of tin abusive attack upon Senator. Wade, which he evidently thought . would be peculiarly appropriate to the occasion.' But the croWn ing point 01 this amusing occasion was :Mr. Raymond's closing ; speech. For a "gay and festive" dinner patty it was a new model. The oracle w16,-: evi dently, not pleased with the I turn of affairs. There was an aXe just - then ! on the Scluttcriai grilltlf, , Mle. and the e:riten.e: of it Was not to be jeoparded for the sake of a little mutual admiration.. So he berated Til ton gently for his radical sentiments toward himself, and berated Roosevelt quite posi tively for his conservative opinions toward Mr. Wade, upon whom he piled a culogium equal to the aggregate of all the rine things that had been said during the evening. Then he contradicted a large portion of the praise which had been bestowed upon his states manship, by confessing that his career in Congress had been a fidlure and that he was glad to get back to a business which he un derstood and for which he was fitted. The whole affair was a delightful jumble of cross purposes; and the "happy family . ' must have, broken up with an indefinite sensation. of having eaten a good dinner, without giving the equivalent that was expected: - - Another-lesson in the noble art of dinner givingis furnished by the extraordinary per formances at the Union Club a few weeks ago, in which the Times also figured promi nently, though not in the person of its chief. Mr. Rua* the managing editor of the Ti me was one of a number of journalists invited to smoke the pipe of peace'over a quarrel that had arisen between the Atlantic Cable Com pany and the Associated Press. The dinner was given by Mr. Cyrus W. Field; and iu the course Of his speech he appears to have given some offence to Mr. Jones, and a verbal battle immediately ensued, during which the lie was passed and would have been followed by blows, but tbr the in terference of Messrs. Peter Cooper and Dud ley Field. Two weeks or more afterward, Mr. Jones encounters Mr. Field in the street, 40.1 d, it is alleged by the Jones party, insults him by pulling his nose. This is denied by . Mr. Field's friends and re-allirmed by the Times. Meantime, the "provincial press" looks on, drinking in lessons of polite man ners and (limier-table courtesies, and wonders why Philadelphia cannot rival New York in the habits and customs of relined, civi lized . life. If we except the famousilinner at the Democratic Club,where 'Mr.. Reed toasted the "stern statesman" and the company broke up in a row, there is not a good specimen of New York table manners on record in this city. Now that the great centre of flinminatiou r has definitely estab lished a standard, it may be hoped that , the old-fogy notions of courtesy and taste, which have so long hampered Philadelphia society, will, relax their vigor, and that the 'examples set by the Raymond and Field dimmers will be generally adopted as the models of polite life. THE LATEST JOHNSON EUGHEAILL - A New York Copperhead cotemporary, in speaking of Mr. Andrew Johnson's latest, eflOrt to damage the credit of .the Govern ment and. to embarrass its finances, - says.;— "There-is no better established principle of public law than that a conqu&ing nation, which overthrows and annuls cooqueied go vernmeuts; succeeds to all the obligations of THE DAILY El/TAING BULLETIN.--PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AMY 1.7',1867. such governments to other parties, particularly to their just liabilities to their creditors." 'Won der what this same copperhead concern said of the act of the rebel congress 'which Jell; Davis approved , in May, 181, and which forbade Southern debtor , l paying their obliga tions to :Northern creditors, and compelled payment instead into Lire, i;chel treasury ? And did this copperhead scribe then endeavor to strengthen Federal credit by urging that, in the event of the success df the rebel leaders, they would assume and pay off all the ohligations of the United States? We would like to know of some instance where a -coigtuering nation assumed the debts of a conquered people: England paid the debt of the Commonweslth by digging up the hotly of Or sawed and gibbeting " it; the first Napoleon used to have a Way of putting the expense of his earnintigais upOn the nations that he conquered. Prussia whipped the Austrians at Sadowa the other day; but instead of paying off the little hills of Austria, the conquering Prussians exacted sundry tons of gold and silver coin by way of satisfaction for dm trouble they had been at. In our own experience we have not been very particular on the score of paying otl' the debts of tile people we have subdued. We conquered the Mexicans, and the way we as smiled their debt was by .taking : New Mexico and California at. a valuation, and paying the difference in cash after deducting the cost of the war. One of the most significant evidences of - the little influence which Mr. Johnson exer cise:; is furnished by - that . most sensitive of' barometers, the Money Market. Had such, ssage as that which was sent into Con gress on Monday by. Andrew Johnson, been promulgated under similar, circumstances by almost any other President of the United Staten, the elicit -would instantly have been seen in the heavy &pm-slim or Government securi ties and in the appreciation /of the pride Of gold. Cold has scarcely tiuctuated within the past three days, and 7-:10's and 5-20's hold their own as Serenely as though there Wt 6 110 o, h creature as Andrew :johnson in ex istence. It Louis Napole( , ll had looketlg,rum at Lord Lyons at an imperial reception,' or if Mr. D'lsraeli had hinted at incurring an indebted ness of a thousand millionS or so in subduing the Fenians, the (fleet would instantly Ito.vt beta, seen. iii the heavy ilveline of consols et rentes, as the case Might have been. Mr. Johnson's utterances go for nothliTi for whil6 bisopinlcois are treated with contempt, his opportunities for mischief have been so shorn lit in anti patriotic Congress, that he is no longer feared. Ile is deeMed as ithpn'tent and powerless its he is corrupt and wicked. On irionuity 114;lit it gang of ruffians made an attack upon the house of a fire company in the lower part of the city, with the avowed ;i:alention of destroying its apparatus. Shots 131:great numbers were "fired, and murder, as welt ns the destruction of property ; was one of the objects which the rioters bad in view. The outrage was_ not one of.those sudden out bursts of anger which involve foolish and passionate people in trouble; lint it was a (le libcratel3 formed plan of revenge, devifod to puniSb a tire company because its principal officer had pursued a peaceful and lawful remedy lbr a grievance. The ruffians forme d in two gangs find ittIY4JICO towards the engine hoUEO" 11111164 With Military pre bald with entire deliberation. Ac- cording to the police reports one of the leaders of the :mob w'as Aldernuut William McMullin, an individual who has brought more disgrace upon Philadelphiihhan any other man who has ever lived within its bounds. We have yet to hear of his arrest. New York is governed by Fernando Wood, John Morrissey curd Mackerelville. The Fourth Ward is not yet in the ascendant in Philadelphia, and the law abiding portion of our citizens demand that such ellbrts as that made on Monday night to bring about a reign of ruffianism should be sternly met, and that the actors in it should be as sternly punished. Philadelphia cannot afford to have law and decency systematically defied by a common ruffian and blackguard. Will the authorities remove this reproach from the city by bringing to justice the . men who notoriously were engaged in this recent ()TlT ruge? • A Philadelphia corresPondent of the New 'York flinitw, whose opportunities tier obtain ing information are probably not as remark able as the vigor of his imagination, sends to that journal an account of a filibuStering movement, which he asserts is being organ ized in this city against Mexico. Ile says he "met several ex-Nicaraguans and Mexican Imperialists in this city on Monday, and had lengthy conversations with them," during which he learned some very marvelous facts, it' facts they can be called. These Mexicans ex-Nicaraguans—though why the latter are *`ex" we are not informed, bht surmise that it is for the good of Nicaragua—are busy organizing an expedition against ..14arez, and they have Cully made up their minds to raise five aliments of filibusters in this city; "and," says this man who held the lengthy conversations .with them, "they are quite confident of success." Confidence is a good thing to have to se cure success, but it is very doubtful if it will suffice to raise five regiments in Philadelphia to light against Mexico. In the present state of the public mind it. will require something 'more than confidence on both sides to induce men to enlist to fight against Juarez. liaga muffins and vagabonds there are, in thi4, as in every community, who will go wherever there aw-spoils to be had, even though it be to the halls of the Montezuma& But to sup pose that five regiments of these can be raised here is numifestly itbsurd. Those who do enlist, will probably" fuid that "con& deuce" is the single and only game of these valiant and verbose Alexieaus a.ud sex-Nica, roptans. From General McDowell, commanding the department of California, we have a report of a series of outrages committed by United States soldiers, which, it' true, call for the stetilest end switteSt 'punishment. The General states that he has been intbrmed - hy Gov. McCormick, of Arizona, that the Indians taken.captive ley the troops stationed at Fort McDowell, and other posts in that territory, have been sold into slavery to the white iak, W!MR!EMI pulation; that the men and children have been traded • away in a vast number of in= instances for , money and goods, while the females have, been . .handed over to the tendei snercies of hostile tribes and by them slaughtered. This is positively affirmed-by the Governor And 41e lieved by General McDowell, so it may be accepted as a fact. Language is hardly ade quate to express the roonstedus 'Wickedness of thiserlie . It is 41 disgrace to the service, to the nation, and to Christianity. Ono step further mid we shall be on exactly the same footing with the inhabitants 'of the Cannibal Islands. Eating prisoners .of war is }ust one grade snore savage than selling them into sla very. And yet these men are the recognized and authorimd agents of a great and free.people, who are shocked, mid tilled with -horror when mom respectable savages burn a ranehe .or scalp enemies killed in battle, and who con sider it necessary to send missionaries to the . Indians to preach a Gospel that is violated in every precept by men of their own race. Gen end McDowell has ordered an investigation, I and we sincerely hope the offenders will he punished with the heaviest penalties in the presence of their Indian victims.. soldiers of that description will never put an end to the Indian war now raging in the West. All over the world there seen l to be a bitter hatred. begotten of fear, of the United States; and ttlis feeling is not confined simply to the old and powerfhl monarchies of the old world, which tremble rather at the existence of Ame rican ib e.t . a ideas. than_at_ any...an (kip ation„of physical contact, but it has spread among the petty kingdoms of the earth, , where Small despots wield their sceptres over abont RS many subjects as would form a respectable Ameri can mass meeting. We `heard a day or two since, that king Kanichameha, of the Sand wich Islands, has this American horror in a chroni'e form, and he not only behaves himself in a very silly and uhkingly nuumer to American visitors, on state occasions. bat he constantly insults, an noys and strives to oppress those natives of the United States, who unhappily are num bered among his subje'ets. lie has a stroller predilection for the Eoglish„.and hi:, cabinet is almost entirely composed of "blamed liri fishers,- collected chiefly from the fore castles and cook's cabooses of whaling ves sels. Ilis Minister of the Interior, we are in formed. is the lanthus "Doctor Long Ghost," of Pe:vine's book of travel, - (moo." Red e rs will recollect that this gentleman was xepttkil;. {Me a IlnbluOthig impudence; an enormous appetite, and the fasrilit a Y with which he made his way through polite`, society with nothing upon his person but a blanket made of cocoa-nut palm-leaves. Now, he is a mew-_ her of t 1 Cabinet, and has undertaken to snub the tnited'States with a diplomatic race that would have . made Cardinal Richelieu surer of immortality. ‘ : The best thing we Can do under the present circumstances is to annex the Kingdom, and reduce the king and the Dialer to - the rank of private citizens. This is a consummation devoutly wished for by the larger number of the inhabittuits. It is claimed on all-aides by the Copperhead press, that Congress in pagshrg the "new and improved" Reconstruction bill, is violating the wishes of the people; that the people do not approve of, or endorse its radical action, and that if an election were now held, a heavy Denweratic Majority in the Capitol would be the consequence. This is simply absurd, and is only worthy of notice because of its contin tinned reiteration by papers which assume an air of sincerity and earnestness in stating it. Congress at all times may be said to fairly represent its constituency and any measure adopted, by it will be ~end orsed by the latter. There may be ultraists on both sides, who go beyond the popular limit, and there are foolish men who make wild speeches, but the majority of members have an eye to their personal interests at home, and always vote right. • The last election was of too recent date for the popular will to have undergone any radi cal change, and if such had taken place the Congressional barometer would haveindicated it immediately. The same assertion was made before the election last fall, and it was refuted by increased Republican majorities all over - the country. 'lt is somewhat stale now, and moreover has about it the flavor of a pro . c Wined falsehood: In the House of Representatives yesterday, M r. Driggs,of Michigan,Offered a resolution in quiring into the afliiirs of the Washington Monument Association, and directing the Sec retary of the Interior to inform the House what has become of the money collected for their use. This is a very pertinent inquiry, although it is slightly Rip Van Winklish in its character, for it should have been made twenty years ago. The unfinished monument upon the river bank is a standing disgrace to the American people. It is their tower of Babel, fur at its base the men who had lived together in unity,first heard that confusion of of tongues Whichthe slavery question brought about; and. from this monument, which WILS to have been the united effort of the whole nation, they came away to fight that bitter contest which culminated in the rebellion.

WAstitrie.roN, July 17.--It has been published. by Borne papers, without qualification, "That in order to prevent any foreign nation from taking advantage of Maximilian's execution by in terfering in,the affairs of Mexico, several war steamers re to be sent from the Washington Navy Yard to the Mouth of the 'Rio Grande, with a view to watch the Austrian fleet, which is to arrive In Mexican waters to demand the body of the-late Emperor." In contradict-km. 4 this, there is authority for Baying that there is not the Blightest foundation for this statement. No vessels have been ordered to the coast of Mexico for any such purpose, nor' bas the Navy Department knowledge of any facts upon which such a staternent could have been predicated.

During the day all the-passenger railway lines leading towards the picnic grounds, and the Schuylkill steamboats, have, been crowded with people making their way to the place of enjoy mett. On the grounds the scene is very ani mated. The number of persons present at this. writing is to be,estimated by thousands. There is no. over-creiwding. and everybody is enjoying the festival to the fullest C•xtent. Dancing, singing, theatrical representations. shooting and gynatias tics are the exercises principally indulged The day is pretfygenerally observed as a holiday by the Germans in the city,: as well as by many Americans, the picnic being the great attraction. During the afternoon the crowd will be greatly augmented, but the grounds are so large that all who desire to participate in the festival can do so without i tmonvenience. This afternoon, a-r a given signal. all the singers assembled before a building erected for the pur pose. This structure was gaily and handsomely deeorated, and was occupied. by the officers of the tifilugerfest and the Honorary Committee. The Star Spangled Banner was then sung with grand effect by all the singers. Chas. Buckwalter, Esq., • the orator of the festival, then addressed the assemblage iu the English language.: as follows: ..11)1•EFI 4 14 41F CHARLES IIC1'KWA1:17:11. 1 1754.),. Friends—Members of the (;ermun SmieWs: —The agrees ble chity and privilege have been allotted to me of actively. uniting with you in thin grand national celebration. I would not do justice to my feelings if 1 did not ,now in , the very beginning of what I prombie shall be but a brief address, publicly exprenn my thanks for theZiatinguished honor which has been bestowed in your invitatlomto till-the important place occupied by me to-day7-' The Tenth. General Kngerfest is about drawing to. its close, after having attracted to its festivities aocietieS from all parts of our land, who met what the kindliest - interchange:of social feelings in _a gent:roue. rivalry. for the palm of excellence in the'divine acuities of music. It has been a marked and interesting event in the local his tory of our city, and if there has been uo greater pod achieved thanthat influence arising from the exhibition of thousands of strangera, together with the entire • German popniatien at home, meeting in free holiday iudislitace with. n decency-, good order, and generai sobriety rarely to be met 1111101/g any people in the enjoyment of festive occasions it would have been both gratifying and diffident. The welceme his Honor the Mayor extended on behalf of the city of Philadelphia hall been most heartily and warmly endorsed by all of our citizens, who have been the WitlleMN of the pleasant reunion of the past few dave. ' But there is another result of a higher character. It has brought us again into a closer intimacy and acquaintance with a portion of our population who have largely added by frugality, industry and intelligence to the wealth- of our land—who, after reaching our shores, have, with honest Aber, steadily - advanced through our valleys and across our vast territories' making the forest and the field bloom with rich harvests of plenty; who, by • their love of Treed° n. their appredution of republican inatitutione, their faithful adherence to the country of their adoption, have become - -part of the national fealstence, bone of our bone and flesh of nor flesh. May, the spirit of this occasion infuse itself in our soefet and political life; May ft hind us atlelost3r together in a fraternal unity which will bring forth fruits in charity, mutual conceadonei and good will, remembering that the closer and more friendly the association the more effectually shit the two nationalitiea be moulded into one nation. . But.ony friends, we recognize in this celebration a. devoton to Feience and art ennobling to the heart and mind. With you the attainment of a knowledge of music is not a mere accomplishmentbut made part of the education of your life, In harmony with year natural taste you received your that' lessons' In your veth and have pursued them eagerly and • earnestly. civilization of your native country has, under its influence, been advanced, and. In the exalted perfec tion which has been attained there has been found one of the richest Jewels of national distinction; for German hunic has an individuality which is acknowledged among raen—a depth of feeling unsurpassed, and a grandeur of beauty and power unequaled. With this high cultivation you have come into our midst. You have organized and perfected societies Whose object has been and is the advancement of musical knowledge. You have exhibitcd.to us with an ease the mont graceful, a skill the most excelling', masteran rce the most Impres. sive, the compositions a the m Minds •, and la your ricaly coaltatiox for y/ctor3-, have proved that yini pre 2:15 O'Clook.

Let there who are worshippers of the Idols of the real and practical, and who, in their daily treadmill existence, can find no value but in moneyed profit, not forget that there is in. this love for and culture of music not only gratifying plemetre and delight, soothing the weariness of life, but that there exists a value which is experienced in the de struction of the rider and grosser character of society-art immediate good resulting from the refinementof the mind and the elevation-of the morn! life. • We are all Indeed too apt to entirely overlook, or to be indifferent to the quiet but the powerful influencen which surround us. 'We seize neon that which is hold and start ling in the world, and fail to inquire/beyond what meets our eye or strikes-our sense. The historian faithfully chronicles the times and reproduces the stirring ocenes of the part to be accepted by us without lequeetion or thought ae to their origin, 'Tim primary motive power is over looked in the. magn [tilde of the res , ilt.

His mind investigates from result to CJIMM —lle gemming for and finds the secret influence which has exerted itself unseen.

Ten years are a ye-re long time in the life of a man, but a very short pe riod in history. During these best ten yearn. err et events have occurred all over the world. In WO and Italy had been liberated and consolidated, and the people that had been kept in sinvery— for fifteen hundred yearn had.been made free and. pronn-rons. In our my - it - United States slavery has been abolidied and fourj millions of ' , nude have become good sad lieeftil members of society. Our war had been a trial whether freedom or slavery should reign over a part of our great Republic, and now freedom has carried the victory.. Through the Mat (ter manwar a great deal had been achieved forthe freedom and imppiness of the German nation. Thera was now only wanted more libern'for the people and a republican f,Trin of government. 'Over the Met events in _Mexico and the death of 3 , lnximillan.the speaker rejoiced to the tullert eatent.

It was a significant ditlerence lietwet n our tini and the pant, - that — formerly—tin ] the ------ war — rvm - y — totnineen --- Was - stopped. Diming there tact ten years. even-thing had gone on prosperously. Every branch of dife—tmetry, art and song—had prospered they even received new impulses during that time. All branches of business had employed more enterprise than before: industry and commerce had taken greater dimensions. The bent proof of it wan the World's Exposition in Paris. which was thought over and planned out while that great war in' Europe was going nn. The great Sangerfent on, Ws nide of the ocean proved that poace andprogress was to be found now all over the l'aited tates. Indeed, Silm;erfeetn were festivals In which progress and development woe involved The German element would be proud that the &Inger. festn were introduced by them in America. It was not the mission of the Germane to do this, but they had done - it because their nature did not allow them to do other wise. Three directions of the development of human centre existed : science. soci al life, and art. The speaker advised the audience to liv=e up to those principles. Messrs Carl Gaertner, Wm. Kuenzle, Wm.

There is no doubt that the veto message of the President will not be sent to Congress before Fri day next. The Surratt Trial. WASHINGTON, July 17.—The trial of John H. Surratt - Was resumed - 711as morning In the Crimi nal Conit, Judge Fisher presiding. Mr. Bradley, Sr., said, when the Court ad journed yesterday a proposition was made to in troduce an agreement between Booth and others, in relation to the conspiracy. He admitted that the paper would not be evidence for the. : prosecution because It would show that Surratt was not in the conspiracy, but It was clearly admissible when offered by the defenee. He held that it - was pertinent to the issue, and .when any.,evidence was ' offered it Was for th Court to_ffetermine._ whether the evidence offered is pertinent to the issue, and it is for the jury to determine the weight of the evidence. If the Court can see that the jury may draw an infer ence from a fact offered, it must go to the jury. It is exceedingly difficult to ascertain whether any positive rule of law governs the admissibility of testimony, and he had, therefore.hunted up no authogities. What is offered in evidence is a, fact bearing upon the issue which the jury is now trying. and in the absence of any positive rule of exclusion, it must go to the jury. If there is such a positiVe ruiejt is for the prosecution to show it. this not a case where the prisoner might have manufactured the proof, but it is the declaration of the party made at the very act, and it is as much a part of the resge , ecr as though it were written at the moment of the transaction. It is the concerted plan, signed by the actors, immedi ately preceding the action, and they go from the• table and commit the acts which the prosecu tion '"bad showed and proVed; the prose cution has proved the execution of the act, and the defence now desire to prove the agreement to execute, and in view of the testi mony already given, no one could suppose that the prisoner assisted in fabricating the proof. Two questions are Involved In this; one, whether he was a conspirator to murder the President,and the other whether he was an actor in the murder, and these are totallydistinet questions. The charge herea ttempting to fix the prisonerengagingin the murder and the conspiracy is to be shown as proof. Another question is whether there was a conspiracy to kill, and that is the gist of the in quiry here. Who were the conspirators, and whrt was The real object, oi — the conspiracy is a question for inquiry. Ordinarily, a conspiracy is a secret, and it is to be proved by circumstan tial evidence; for if it were made public, then the conspiracy would be exploded. The prosecution has attempted .to show that there was a conspiracy. They say they trace the conspiracy from 1863 until Its culmination, and they say that Surratt and others were engaged in a conspiracy. This was proved by Welch man's testimony. If they have proved any thing by this witness it is that the conspi racy •he (Weichman) testified to, had terminated and failed in March, 1865. After that time, they never brought the parties charged together-by any one witness, and it is therefore a question for the jury whether there were two conspiracies, and what became of that conspiracY in March. They have offered to prove that Surratt was here on April 14th, and we must meet that point. They offer evidence from which they infer that Surratt was In that conspiracy, and the defence was that by offering the agreement of the conspirators and by show ing that Surratt was not a party to that agree ment. Time prosecution has produced Booth's diary to show that the murder was decided upon on April 14th, and can the defence . then be precluded from offering an ' -agreement to murder, in which the name of the 'prisoner does not appear? It is not the confession of,the party who Mu] donb the deed, but if the agreement to do it, and the prisoner is excluded from the agreement, and he could there fore see no reason, or could conceive no rule of law why the evidence should not he admitted. He (Mr. Bradley) admitted that elemen,tary writers urged that circumstantial ,proof was bet ter than positive proof, but no writer ever held that circumstantial evidence was better than positive written proof. Here was a con tract that committed _men to the gallows, a contract that could never have been entered into, except by men who had lost their reason - - mad-men contract to commit a Murder that has not its parallel; it was ,not . kept in their possession and secreted by them, but handed to a third party to be used as evi dence against these four men, who boldly ottered themselves as a sacrifice for what' they deemed to be the nation's wrongs. In the con tract the prisoner could.amt participate, and it is due not only to the prisoner, but to the others that have been murdered, that all the facts con nected with the conspiracy should be brought out, and this paper cannot be excluded except upon the most Inexorable rule of law. If it were the prisoner's Own act, it could not be offered as evidence, but itis the act Of the con spirators to the exclusion of the prisoner. The question of' the admissibility of this evidence is for the Court. The question whether Sur ratt was a party to the conspiracy is a ques tion for the jury. How is he to prove that he was not a conspirator except by the agreement signed when he was not there? The Met conspiracy, which was to abduct, cul minated on the 15th of March,. and the-proseen--- lion have never brought the parties together again, and the effort now is to' fix the prisoner with another conspiracy made, upon the 14th of April, and agreed upon in writing. To this writing the prisoner was not a party, but it was in evidence that he was invited after the failure of the first conspiracy to come to Washington and enter into another. Here is that other conspiracy agreed upon, but to which Surratt is not a party, and he (Mr. Bradley) could see no rule that could exclude the evidence. Mr., Carrington said lie did not deem it neces sary to say much against the admission of this testimony, for the subject was too plain. It was an attempt to offer a paper Said to be a copy of one which had been written by cane Booth, who was not a witness. It was not even an original paper, for the witness says he destroyed that, and it was nothing but hearsay evidence, and the evidence of a third party, and he did not suppose the Court would, for a moment, en tertain it. In regard to the unjust impu tation cast upon honorable men, that the conspirators tried at the Arsenal had been murdered ; he would answer that at the proper time and in the proper manner, all who were condemned by the Military ComMlS sion flwt a deserved murderer's death. ...
