Stitrratt c(NCI 118 Cis 1 ,:s rEItiJA Y - 8 PROCEEDING I MT. Men ick continued his address on behlif of the defence: But feeling therbselves grow weak,tlie proscen ton produce Wm. C. Cleaver.", lie was surprised when he saw that man come upori the stand; man who had been convicted of a crime wiihout a name. It was murder, .and not murder alone, but murder most foul and unnatural. lies the. United States become so lotv that it must use such tools? Not Cleaver alone, but Cleaver ma nipulated by Conover, and not Conover alone,bnt masipulated by Ashley. Ineareerated with this man Conover, the schemer and deviser of all the perjury of the Arsenal trial; • Conover, the vile learn a master scarcely better; Conover, the tu ' tor of Montgomery, who sits beside the counsel for the prosecution. This man, manipulated by Conover and dug out by Ashley, is brought here to ask the jury to take his oath against this young Mau. AU! gentlemen of the jury, not only disbelieve, but spurn such testimony from you. David C. Reed is also relied upon, but he (Mr.. Merrick contended) was contradicted at every' point. Who is David C. Reed? Does he deal out -liquid fire? Alt! . not for the money the liquid would bring, but that he might 'rob the victim at his faro bank. The counsel said, one of the witnesses for the prosecution dealt out liquid fire. Alt! You gentlemen know the character of Resit in this community, and it is unnecessary to spcd.lt of him further. Another witness is Susan Jac;ii. son. Her testimony, when she said she saw John Surratt on that night, made an impression upon the jury; but she went too far, and it was shown that she never before gave such testimony before Captain Olcott, when she was previously eiaminea. The Government had her testimony in the Bureau of Military Justice, and it did not correspond with the testimony given here. She lied upon this stand, and the prosecution knew it and did not check her. He ,Mr. Merrick) was, after that evidence, pre pared to believe more abdut this prosecution than before. This woman was contradicted by Rachel Hawkins, by Eliza Haver and by Susan's own husband. Susan says she did not; Eliza and her husband says she did. Rachel says that at the assassination Susan said she did not see John Surratt for two weeks. But Rachel is not the only one, for Mr. Clarvoe says she told hint that she bad not seen Mr. Surratt for two weeks, and there is not a man upon the jury who will not be lieve Mr. Clarvoe. Miss Fitzpatrick also settles this question, for she says when Surratt was there on the third of April she got him some supper, and it was then that . krs. Surratt said to Susan, pointing to John, "This is my son; don't be look like Annie?" But, there is also, beside this good angel, the bad angel of this case. Miss Fitzpatrick testifies to contradict Susan, and the send of the case comes in also to contradict her. Welchman, the fiend, the 'accursed fiend, whose conscience is driven before hint with the applying lash, says Surratt did not take supper with his mother on April 11. Susan Jackson's testimony was then shown to be false, but he (Slr. Merrick) . believed, with a full belief and consciousness of all he was saving, that that woman was lying With the full knowledge of the United States government. St. Marie says that Surratt admitted his presence here, but it was doubtful if the jury believed him. Why is St. Marie here to betray his friend? The jingle of the yellow earth Las been the knell of many a man's honesty. What brought St. Marie here? Does he so love America that he would give up Surratt merely for that love? . . Mr. Merrick here spoke against the use of spies and informers as most discreditable to the govera ment, and said St. Marie was one of those infer nal spies. He thought he had now shown that none of the witnesses who swore to Surratt's pre sence here were to be credited. : Was it not most remarkable that none of Surratt's acquaintances saw him here? Booth was at Mrs. Surratt's at 1 o'clock, and if that was headquarters, why did not the prisoner go there? Hollohan and even Weichman says he was not there. But there is a voice also from the grave--•-•a nameless grave, it is true—Mrs. Surratt says he was not there. Clarvoe asks Mrs. Barrett where John is, and she replies she had a letter from him that day and she had not seen him for two I weeks. tis not proper to give Mrs. Surratt's {declarations-iu-evidene but-that - voice - comes from the grave to protect her boy ! The prose cution broke the cerements of the grave, and brought Mrs. Surratt here before one word was uttered about her by the defence; and she sits be tide her boy to protect him ! Her spirit is here— ' a mother speaking for her son, and testifyirt in his behalfl Let gentlemen beware lest the scheme they now devise to cover a former crime drag them down yet lower and deeper ! He (Mr. Merrick) would say •no more upon that subject now. but in its, proper place he would say what he had to say. The theory that he was here is then cast down. His living friends say he was not here, and his mother's voice comes from the grave as a last protestation for her boy, - and she says he was not here, and he was mat here. They got him at Montreal on the 12th, and put him upon the New York train at a3O. They admit that on the 13th he was in El mint; they. start him from Elmira at 10 A. M. on the 13th, and they must have him here at ti A. M. in time for Wood, the barber, to shave him. Leaving at 3 P. M. on the 12th, he reaches Al bany at '5.45 on the 13th. If he had come to New York he could have reached Washington at 7 on the 14. th. That was the route intended by the government ofileers. but the testithony was too strong, and they must account for his preSence at Elmira. Mr. Merrick contended that from the moving of the trainalt was a physical impossibility for Burratt to have reached Washington in time by earning by Albany and Canandaigua. , Here is a physical impossibility that he could reach Wash-. ington by the route they brought him. They did not know the trains could not run, and when they found it out should have abandoned the• case, and if he (Mr. Merrick) had been the pro secuting officer, with these physical facts staring him in the face, he would have abandoned the case. But suppose they get him to Elmira, what follows: "They tried to get him out of Elmira, but it did not enter their minds how they should in the first place get him to Elmira; Now they have him in Elmira in the unprecedented short time of thirteen hours from Montreal, and how did they get him out? He is at Elmira between 8 and 10 o'clock, and how did they get , hint out? They put a man on the stand 'who says he brought Mr. Duburry down. Mr. Fitch, a witness, Bays no train left atter 8 o'clock, for It there had there would have been a memorandum, as the record shows all the passenger trains and all the freight trains. Passengers coming down at 8 o'clock would lay at Willianisport till 10 at night. They bring him to Williamsport, and there Montgeniery ferries him across. Mr. Bradley—Not Montgomery? Mr. Merrick—Yes, Montgomery; for Alont geomery made him; Montgomery paid and'bought the ferryman; Montgomery, Conover's pet, and the prosecution's right-hand man. Conover made Montgomery and Montgomery made Drohan. the drone, who testified here; Drohan, backwoodsman, recognizes a particular coat; and why does not that coat figure here? Why does not Reed see the coat? - Why does not Wood see it—Wood, who shaved him, dusty and travel soiled as he was? Montgomery did not do his work well. The prosecution should have waited . . . Ilk his partner, Conover, was out of. the peni ' tentiary. Mr. Merriel hoped the jury would pardon this digression, and referring again to the moving of trains, he argued there was not testimony to bring Surratt here at all on the I.lth. It was a physical impossibility in spite of gravel_ trains and wharves, being impelled by Montgomery. But it is said that Booth wrote to Surratt from New York to come, and that they had changed their plans. Booth left New YeriVon April 7th, and Surratt did not leave Montreal until the 12th. He was certainly not very anxious to obey the commands of Booth. He supposed Booth was in New York, but according to the testimony of the prosecution, this Beelzebub did not know where Lis Satan was. Is it not a remarkable circum stance that the second conspirator did not know where . his Chief was ? Why should Surratt go to Elmira? The prosecution say he was there in aid of the echerne, but the Court would not allow it to be shown - why Surrati was there, as it was not shown that it had any connection with the • c_osfspiracy. Why, then, was Surratt taken to Elmira.lf there was no connection at that place with' the Conspiracy ? At this point, 12.15, the Court took a recess for 'half 'all hour. Re-assembling, Mr. Merrick rum:tied and said bethought he had shown that the testimony of Surratt's presence here was not to be relied upon, and that from Its infamous character it soiled the vehole ease for the prosecution. He thought he - had also demonstrated that it was a physical inn ' poesibility for Surratt to have got here.

As to Dr, Bissell, throw his testiniOny out, if you eb.oose, and throw hint to the other siiie,l where he can find congenial witnesses. and Sur rates presence in Elmira is still pro-:en. Another cimamstance is worthy of consideration. All tbc,se Elmira witnesses for the defence identify tkie peculiar coat worn by Surratt, and we show 'that the coat was made in Montreal, and we tind him wearing the coat iu Elmira,. and on his re turn to Elmira the prosecution shows hirh to be there in that identical coat. •No witness for the prosecution sees him id that coat except Mont gomery and Drohan. Having then shoWn that Surratt was pot here, that Surratt, had no con nection ,with Booth ' from April 7th, 1865, to the. present time, it is a circumstance to show he was not in the conspiracy. • He was not in the conspi racy to kill, and lie did not leave Montreal upon. Booth's mandate. McMillan says Surratt told him that Booth summoned him because the plan was changed. What plan? Is it shown what plan was changed? There was to be a change of i?lan, but is it shown what plan was changed? McMillan's testimony must be taken with great allowance, for he sees the reward glittering in the distance, and he ac knowledges that he Is entitled to the reward, if any reward is to be given. It must be remem bered also in McMillan's testimony that he falsi fied about the receipt given to Mr. Boucher. In considering MeMillan's testimony that of Came ron's must be taken with it. Mr. Merrick read Cameron's testimony to show that McMillan was contradicted, and continued: There are certain circumstances that may justify you in believing that there was a plan to abduct, but it must be remembered that the President was not killed in a scheme to abduct. The killing Showed a new conspiracy, with, which the parties to the conspiracy to abduct had nothing to do. But the prosecution says that Cameron is not to be believed, and they bring witnesses to discredit him. They say he is not to be, believed because ho Las rebel sympathies, and this question has been gone into to prove a character for veracity. He (Mr. Merrick) was not a secessionist. and never was, but he feared the end of the rebellion. 'because he saw a spirit in the distance that ac‘ tuated the dominant party, and that would tear down the principles of the Constitution. He was not mistaken, for that party is now endeavoring to tear down the President in order that they may get at the Constitution. lie did not defend this high treason of the South, but there were as honorable men South as there wth'e North. Now that peace has conic, he saw treason not in anus, but treason in peace, blotting out nine States, and sorrowed more for his country than he did during all the dark days of war, But he did not despair eventually, for bad could not triumph. But that_ peace may come early let ns abandon the spirit of recriminas tion, and abandon .the opinion that a Southern man cannot tell the truth. Such a crimination and recrimination is neither patriotic, or just, or Christian. But let us see if there was any con spiracy to be abandoned. They first formed a conspiracy in April, 186 , 1, by three men standing upon , the street corner; and then Mrs. Hudspeth finds some letters, which is again tortured into an evidence of conspiracy to murder by pistol, dagger or poison; and much is made of the fact that Harold was then an 'apothecary's clerk, when it is shown that he never put up but one presctiption. There Is no evidence that Surratt even then knew Booth. Booth had at that time never been at Mrs. Surratt's hOnsei, but they say Surratt_ furnished the arms and pit them away at T. IL Mad at Sminttaville. Now what does all that amount to? Here Were a number of young men who earnestly. sympathized with the South. They may. have helped people across the river, and the arms may have {been, therefore, there for their protection. There may have been a plan, even, to abduct, and if it had been attempted the men engaged in it would have been, no doubt, executed. But it might have been an act of war, It has passed into history that there were cont. ate prisoners north and Federal prisoners soul who were starving, and that the North was to lame for a non-exchange of prisoners, and there r ight have been a wild scheme to abduct Mr. Line n, not to kill, but to force an exchange. He (Mr. Merrick) did not blame Mr. Lincoln for the non-exchange of prisoners,and he could pass as high encomiums • upon him as Mr. Car rington. But much is made, a:: o; of the fact that Surratt owned horses; and this, It is argued,is evi dence of a conspiracy. Rut, then, was the con spiracy to kill formed? Booth's diary settles that thing - definitely, and conclusively shows that the plan vas formed on that very day. Richmond had fallen and the contideracy passiug avay. -Booth, ath an inflamed mind, saw what he' had loved passing away, and he then, alone, conceived the idea of murder, as the diary plainly shows; and there is no evidence that the conspiracy was formed au hour before the time specified in the diary. Thu gentlemen cannot get rid of the testi mony in thediary, and you must take the forma tion of the conspiracy as from Booth, who was the.only man who could give any information upon the subject. Booth says he wrote a letter for the, Intelligen cer: Where is that letter? The defence wanted to get its declaration in, but the Court ruled it out. as he (Mr. - Mari(*) thought wrongfully; for what motive could Booth have had to tell a lie at that time. The diary must be taken as evi dence, and it makes a case too plain to resist. But 'they still claim a Verdict. Who claims a verdict in this case? He (Mr. Merrick) saw two parties in this case—one was the government of the - United States; represented by the District Attorney. The Attorney-General represents the - United States; why -ilEGnot the Attorney-General here? Mr.Plerrepout said if an answer was wanted he would say yes. Mr. Bradley asked if Mr. Picrrepont represen ted the Attorney-General? Mr. Pierrepont said he did. Mr. - Merrick said he thought it different, but why was it necessary to employ additional coun sel; what was behind all this? Mr. Merrick here referred to some remarks made bv Mr. Pierrepont early in the trial, in which he said that the trial would set at rest re ports about certain indiViduals, and it was pro mind that records 'would be produced. Where are those records ! They were brought here once, and were withdrawn. Why was this ? Did they find at the end of the record a recommenda tion to mercy for Mrs. Surratt, which the Presi- - dent never saw ? Would that record have shown that access was not denied to the President? Can the scene of that day ever be forgotten ? Presi dent and philanthropist went to the Executive mansion to' ask a respite for Mrs. Surratt and access was denied. Mr. Merrick depicted the visit of Annie Surratt to the President, when she was denied access,nud he asked who stood in the way? Does the con science of the Secretary of War or of the head of the bureau of military justice now check them,or is it true that one who protested against that in tervieW•now sleeps In the waters of the Hudson, and that another blew his brains out in Kansas? Was there not something behind this ease? Is it not known that in the lower House of Con gress public accusations were brought against the Secretary of War and Mr. Bingham and others? What has the Bureau of Military Justice to do with this ease? and yet Judge Holt takes a deep Interest in this ease. The Bureau of Mili tary Justice is a part of the Executive Depart ment of the government; and yet he has been ma nipulating the witnesses in this case. - Why all this? J udge . Holt has certainly lost his discretion in•this pursuit. In continuation Mr. Merrick contended that the Bureau of Military Justice knew of the falsifica tion of muck of this evidence, and has withheld it from this Court. Mr. Carrington, too, has torn . the very comments. of the grave, and brought Mrs. Surratt here for trial. Is it not enough to try the living, or will the prosecution act the g,houl and tear the corpse from thegrave and hang it also? Mrs. Surratt is here; and her pre sence has been felt. It is present 'always with JudgtHolt, and he cannot bid the spirit down, and when they corno to stand before the bar of God ) gm urnirvi/11.UPORPOaroliaiulitJuag9 TF 4 II DAILY EVENING BuLLETIN.-PIIILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2,1867. • . Holt. Mr. Carrington said the members of the Military — Commission were denounced as mur derers. Not so. 'lie (Mr. Merrick) did not de nounce the Commission, although that court was declared illegal, but lie did denounce the men who stood behind, and who nuppressed material facts and would not let the diary be known. They proved • the -toothpick ann the spur, hut not the diary; • and now they bring the diary to oommit another murder, and now will, the prose cution try the cicadas wellas the living. A priest was put upon the stand, and ho said he gave Mrs. Surma the consolations of religion. He was not permitted to repeat what Mrs. Surratt said, tot tering to the scaffold between two „priests, with the world behind her and eternity before her, and her load of guilt laid at the feet of her Saviour. - Why was not her declaration admitted? Did they fear she would lie ?• No ; but, hardened of heart, reckless of guilt, and indifferent of'justice, they would not let her voice be heard. But still it falls upon their cars; that voice of a woman in a nameless grave, whose very body has been re fused to a pleading daughter. But the District- Attorney says that Surratt fled, and flight is an evidence of guilt, and it Is said he deserted 1114 .mother. He did not know his mother's extre mity until after she was hung, or about that time. Flight in Snrratt's case was no confession, for under the circumstances, Mr. Merrick argued, any man would have fled, as power had usurped the place of the courts of justice. In this trial some allusion had been made to the Catholic Church in connection with the trial, and he proceeded to defend that Church from the ac cusation that had been brought against her. That Church, he contended taught obedience to au thority, and the good faith of that Church was evidenced when the Pope and Cardinal Autonelli gave up Surratt at the demand of this Govern ment. The Catholic Church is on the side of mercy. It protects the fleeing criminal, when he is believed l i p be innocent, but It gives him up when a presumption of guilt is raised. • The District Attorney asked the 'jury to vindi cate the loyalty of this District by a verdict of guilty. lie (Mr. Merrick) asked them to be loyal, but lo'nl to the Constitution and to their own consciences. There has been blood enough shed' in this country, and it was now time that the flow had ceased. No man had a greater horror of the crime that resulted in the murder of Abra ham Lincoln than he had himself. Already four hadibeen hung, and others are suffering. 'Three years ago there was in this city a happy house hold, sitting beside a' bright household There sat a mother, and a sister just budding into womanhood, and beside them :t young man just reaching manhood. He would have the jury remember the changes that have come over that scene. The bright' fire is extinguished, the mother sleeps in a nameless felon's grieve. The daughter; burdened and broken-hearted, drags out a wretched life. and the son is here before you, on trial for his life. May Almighty God so guide your judgment and enlighten your convictions that the remem brance of this day, and of your verdict, may here after and forever be a sweet and pleasant recol lection. I thank you, gentle Men, for your kind attention. 1121 Judge Fisher asked Mr. Bradley if he was ready to proceed to-day. Mr. Bradley said he would prefer to wait until to-morrow. and he did not know whether he would then address the jury. If he did, his address would he yen- short. The Court then took a recess until to-day. The Virginia:Republican Convention. IliclimoNI), Va., Aug. I.—This morning, at an early hour, the neighborhood of the African Church was filled by about three thousand blacks, awaiting the opening of the doors,and the streets were alive with others coming to the place ap pointed for the meeting of the Convention. - The Republican headquarters and the hotels looked lively with politicians, arranging matters for the day. At eleven o'clock the doors of the church were opened, and the building was in stantly filled, still leaving about two thoushud blacks outside. Up to this time very few of the white Repub licans reeently appointed by the county conven tions had made their appearance. The whites present were about 50 in number being chiefly de legates wife hitd — atfended the April Convention. A motion was made inside to adjourn to the Capitol Square, and the crowd outside, believing it to have been carried, hurried off to that„plaee. _ W. - Himnietitt made a short address to those inside, in favor of adjourning to the Square. He counseled harmonv in the deliberations of the body, for they were this day looked to by the whole country, and by hundreds of thou Sands of blacks, whose fathers had looked prayerfully for ward asuch a day as•this. The rebels of Rich- mond and their press were looking joyfully for a disturbance in the Convention, and he wanted them to be disappointed. This was a mass con vection, and he wanted all 'RepubliCans repre sented in it. Those who eould not endorse the Republican platform, adopted by the April Con vention, might go home,,as they were not wanted here. Any men who came here to break up the Republican party in Virginia were scoundrels and hypocrites, and would meet the odium they merited. Mr. Tucker', of Alexandria, moved the appoint ment of fifty table-bodied men to clear the ground and keep order for the Convention at Capitol Squaw, which motion being carried, the Conven tion adjourned to that place. Those who first ar rived at the Square found a Conservative delegate addressing about a thousand blacks. He pro tested against three or four men ruling the, Con vention or the overawing of the interior delega tions by such an immense crowd from Richmond. '1 he delegations would endorse the April platform if they could only hear it. A voice—" You would have heard it, if you had been here in April."J An announcement was then made that the Convention was assembling on the other ,side of the Capitol, and some of the audience left. Another Conservative arose and commenced protesting against persecuting any man now for Lis past pc htical.opinions. The Republican party was not, be said, strong enough in the State to throw away such aid. It was not strop enough in the North either. Look at General Butler, who did more than any other man at the Charles ton Convection to bring on this war. A voice here cut the speaker short by an nouncing that the crowd must walk around to the other . side, and it left en masse, jeering the speaker as it left. On the other side of the Square was present the largest assemblage ever seen in Richmond, with a considerable sprinkling of whites. Amid much confusion Mr. Hauxhurst, of Alexandria, was chosen for temporary chairman, and Charles Whittlesey, of Alexandria, tempo rary secretary. A recess of two hours was taken to give- time for a committee, formed of one from each delega tion, to report a list of permanent officers, and also propose a platform. The different delega tions met under the trees in the square. In the meantime the other wing had printed and distributed the following handbill : REECIII.E'AN STATE CONVENTION. The delegates to the State Convention of un conditional Union men, called to meet in the African Church in this citV,•at 12 M. to-day, will meet in the Hall of the House of Delegates this evening, at eight o'clock, to perfect thVorganlza tion of the ltcptiblkan party of Virginia. Every delegate is requested to be prompt in attendance. None other than regularly appointhd delegates will be admitted into the hall. Signed by the Committee of Arrangements, Richmond, August 1, 1867. During the recess several short addresses were made, all of them relating to the course of Botts and his friends, and the proposed convention called by the handbill. Botts was denounced as desiring to make the Republican party of the State subservient to his party or break it. There were loud calls for Botts, and a proposition was made to send a committee to invite him to ex plain his position, but it failed. • The Rev. Mr. Givens then made an address, and the Convention formally reassembled about five o'clock, when the Committee on Permanent Officers reported in favor of appointing all the old officers of the April convention, and recom mended that the platform of that Convention be adopted without alteration. The report as to the officers was adopted, and Mr. John Hauxhurst was declared permanent chairman. The recom mendations of the platform gave rise to an excited debate. Mr. Butts, of NortOlk, said If this Con vention, which was termed a- mass meeting, adopted the platform it would have, nothing to do but to go borne, and if they did that, then - the meeting to be held by the other wing to-night calling itself a convention,-would. remain in ses sion two or three dks; adopt a platform, appoin an executive combaittee, and the Republicana would go into the campaign with two parties, which would be ruinous. 119 was followed by M. Alnaulentt, who urged POLITICAL. the propriety of adjourniegun na til tororkew, qt . ten o'clock, in order to - glvd - the-otheti ivlngmho Lad not attended this meeting, time to - como - in. If then they would not come in, the blame would be upon themselves. Several motions were made to adjourn, and failed, groat contusion reigning around the spea kers' stand. ' , , MessrS. Baker and Sterling (both white) at.: tempted 10 address the body, Baker declariag that he would speak, as the meeting had ad journed, and Sterling taking the opposite. The colored Sergeant-at-Arms seized Baker to put him of! . , and a row seemed imminent. The platform was adopted without a dissenting voice, and the meeting was declared to be ad journed until ten o'clock on Friday morning. To-night the appointed meeting of a Republi can Convention at the Capitol did not take place. In its stead. a number of the members of to-day's Convention appeared and organized a meeting in the Hall of the House of Delegates, Fields Cook, colored, in the chair. Several speethes were made, complaining of the action of, the Convention to-day as hurried and unfair. Mr. Crenshaw, white, of Henrico county, com plained that Franklin Stearns, who had been ap pointed by that county delegation to represent it in the Committee on Organization, had been rejected. R. D. Berkley, a colored radical of Alexandria, denounced the manner in which the Convention was conducted, and the county delegates crowded out by the Richmond representatives. It was, he said,'a premeditated affair, as the State Central Committee stole in the back door and damaged matters,_ while rightful delegates from other )arts of the State, were kept locked out until all was ready. He protested against the meeting to-day. It was no Convention, and should not be called one. He wanted all classes and everybody repre sented at a convention, and hoped the colored men would see that such a one was held. lle wanted to hear what Mr. Botts had to say. He did not intend, nor did the colored people intend to be led by Mr. Hunnicutt, or Mr. Botts, or any one else who wanted to use them for the purpose of getting office. A committee was appointed to wait• on Mr. Botts and see if he could address the meeting to night, an invitation which lie declined, but it is understood he will address the meeting to-morrow morning. It is stated by influential Republicans that the meeting called for to-night did not take place, because negotiations are m progress which will avert a split iu the party. Caucusses arc being held to-night to arrange for to-morrow. The platform drawn up by Mr. Botts, and which 'was unanimously approved by the conservative wing •of the party last night, asserts that Secession.is treason, and that treason is a crime; *advocates free speech without licen tiousness.; the payment of the public. debt, and tire repudiation of the Confederate debt, and a liberal system of internal Improvements. The following is the concluding paragraph : t• 10. General amnesty and restoration to all civil and political rights to the rank and file of the army; to tilt great body of the people who were misled and seduced into the war by mere artful and wicked men, and who were forced by the conscription Or otherwise; but exclusion from all political power hereafter, of those who were instrumental either by speaking, writing, or preaching in bringing on the war, by which the State was reduced to division,' humiliation, penury and ruin, irs unfit custodians of the pub lic honor and general ,prosperity of the State. This is nothing more and nothing' lt , S's than they would do with all opposed to them who li ive committed crime, if they had the power." ' Removal of the New Orleans Board of Aldermen.

McCormick states that a fight had occurred at `.Perryton Springs, about 400 miles from Prescott, in which four or five—lndians were killed, and Captain Williams and two men of the Bth cavalry wounded, Captain Williams dangerously. The following is an. extract from a letter of Governor McCormick to Gen. McDowell: I find that at Fort McDowell and other posts most of the captives taken by the troops have been turned over to civilians, without process of law. I learn of instances in which children have been sold by the troops, others where they have been exchanged for goods, also where they haVe been given to the Puma and Man copa Indians, and those tribes afterwards send them to the whites. I am also informed that at Fort McDowell it is our custom to deliver adult female Apache captives to the Pumas and Mancopaa for slaughter. General McDowell has ordered an investi gation into these charges. The Union Pacific Railroad. T. J. Carter, Esq., Government Director of the Union Pacific Railroad, reported to the Secretary of the Interior, under date of Omaha, July 23, information affecting the in terests of that road. Re states that the road is in operation for traffic to Julesburg, three hundred and seventy-seven miles. The track is laid four hundred and ten miles, and the grading completed four " hundred and fifty miles, and an actual progress with an efficient force to Cheyenne, near the base of the Rocky Mountains, rive hundred and seventeen miles. There has been some delay in the delivery of iron, from a difficulty in crossing the Missouri river during the high water, at three several periods this season, much embarrassing the oVerations of the road, and demonstrating the great importance of bridging the river at the earliest period practicable, for the interests of the Company and the public. Large quanti— ties of iron, material, engines wad care are now waiting delivery: acrosS 'the river at this point, causing delay, n ,the, progress of the road, and this is likely to occur Often unless a permanent bridge is . erected. , Mr. Carter idevoteg . considerable 'space in his report, which is voluminous, to noticing the long-continued depredations on the line of- the Union Pacific Railroad; WhiCh for months past have been a serious embarrass ment to the location, construction and opera tions of the 'line. Since April last hostile tribes have constantly and persistently at tacked the engineering parties in the discharge of their duties, .killing two of the assistants in charge of corps, and killing and wound ing others associated with them, stealing horses, mules and other property, wind causing great inconvenienee- and May in the pro gress of the road. Mr. Carter expresses surprise at a recent official statement, wherein it is reported that the employ& of the company are also advo cates of war, saying that all their interests are in direct opposition to such measures, except to save their lives and property unmolested, as self-preservation demands. Not only, he states, has the railroad com pany-been delayed and incurred much loss frem these depredations, but they lave also suffered in diminished traffic over the road,' and in conclusion he adds:—"Whatever views are presented to avoid the presented difficul ties, the financial, commercial and political in terests involved, mutuallY advantageous to Eu rope,China and America,are sufficient reasons why the government should afford all proper protection and facilities for its accomplish ment."

Mittia;,; ) v.• de_ scribes a visit to a Chinese leper Village near Canton. He Says; It is situated about two miles , :and a half from the suburbs of Canton, on a slight eon-, nence, in the midst of cultivated fields, and accommodates betweenfour and five hundred. lepers,with, their children born in the asyluzir. All persons recognized or declared by the authorities to be lepers, are Sent to these asy lums, of*hich there are three in the ne.igh borhood of Canton. Neither husband, wife: nor are alloWed to, accompany the leper to the asylw; but they arc • allowed; to 'choose theinselVes new eon fugal, mates from the' inmates' of the same.. The children born from these unions remain in the, village. I saw of them a great _number, varying from the age of intanty to twenty-five years, and, in fact, judging from the great number of sound peo ple in the establishment, the offspring would seem to be ag numerous aS the legitimate occupants of Me. plaCe. • : Only-One , leper Mined that he was the sinc: of another •• leper then in the place. As a rule ; they by to con -cod their did sewn from diseased parents. The village itself forms a rectangle, surrounded by a brick wall twelve feet high, with a gate • which is closed every, night. The ;following description May give you an idea cffits inner arrangement. A street about fourteen feet wide (wider than any snit t•in Canton) leads, from ti* ,, gate straight up to the temple, or joss-house. Frein this street branch out at, right angles on each side about fburteen narrow lanes, three feet and a half wide, each • jwo separated by one single low -building, partitioned again by a wall along its whole length, and cross*Wa'is twelve-to fourteen cross-walls, so as to form twenty-four narrow apannicnts. In the-e small holes that whole mass of population is stowed away every night. .Of cours. - _,, I ca;)- 110 speak with praiSe of its state of cleanli ness—quite the reverse. During the day -the gates are open, andthe lepers roam about at, Tiber y, to beg through the streets of Canton. ''}'bey-receive, besides, a small daily al (mance front GoVernMent, and the monopoly of the trade of, coir-rope makiug, by which they n earksothething irl addition. Thelepers leave the village the, daytime at pleasure, and their friends enter as freely to visit them, eir cumstanceg which go flee to demonstrate the popular opinion that tile contagion is not volatile or diffusable; or that it requires prolonged actual contact to com municate itself from one person to another. We had taken the precautionary measure to send a message to the village on the day pre vious, that we werecoming to distribute alms among them. In consequence of this; the greater portion of the lepers remained at home that day, and I had an opportunity of examining a great number. As a result of this investigation of eases, Dr. Hillebrand satisfies himself that there exist in Chinese' leprosy three distinct yarieties—the_tubercu lar form, the erysipelatous and the simply paretic or paralytic. The latter limn is often accompanied with Inveterate pschiasis; and he had frequently seen this type of disease in the Hawaiian islands, but had not,-.previously recognized it as leprous.
