During progress of the trial every species of iirect testimony that could well be lagined has been adduced to prove their n)plicity; and now all doubts are cleared ay by the direct statements of three n, who were , personally unknown to h other, and who, at three separate amivations, swore positively to the guilt the parties named in the President's •clamation. The Lee Testimonial: At is said to have been stated in an Eng h newspaper ( we have not seen the origi -1) that "the members of Parliament in .d to invite the Confederate General Dm, Virginia, to reside in England, and will • scribe sufficient to give him an income on . ich be can live handsomely.': As an ome of not less than $lO,OOO 'per annum, hteh is the interest of $250,000 at four per it., would be required, at least, it is 'dent that the subscribers will have to .en their purses and hearts very widely. hen COBDEN, the great champion of 'gap Bread, overcame all opposition, and ought over even 'EEL to the cause of ee Trade, a 'national testimonial was becribed and presented to him—not by embers of Parliament, but all over the ritish Isles, under the influence and over• essure of the. anti-Corn Law League— t it did not amount, all told, .to $330,000. 'hen the British people, gratettal to Row -2,1)111M for having introduced the Penny oval system, the great social reform of e age and country, desired to reward im. national gratitude also took the sub antial form of hard cash, only $65,000 as the sum total. It is not very like , that there will be a national subscrip on in England to _give Lxs, the rebel entre], the means of living there, as a entleman, and it is certain that "the nalish members of Parliament" will not , o it. There are six hundred . and fifty ight such members. If each of them ade a pro rath Subscription, it would re 'tare F,;880 per man to raise the $250,000. ;nt. it may .be doubted whether as many s fifty out of the whole number have ;mpathized with the rebellion, and would , sy. Say fifty, and the tax upon each . ould be exactly a thousand poundi. e oubt whether twenty-five out of the fifty , Quid raise that amount for their own etd.

Even that bold nglo-Norman baronet, Sir HENRY Bono OGETON, of Hoghton Tower, Lan asbire, who has ,subscribed handsomely c,r pirate-Outfits and similar purposes, an do little or nothing for LEE, see rg that he invested his loose cash in 'ontederate Bonds, to the amount of two or three million , dollars, and is likely to be `bald up" until these securities, which • :re truly invaluable, are paid ofi—on Tib's • Vei a period, Scottish proverbs tell •bsch never arrives. Besides, there is a ,rest difference, in England .as in other , laces, between promise and performance. hen " Stonewall " Jecsson was killed 'n battle, there were public meetings in. otadon and . Liverpool to raise $75,000, hick was to supply a ,statue of tb:e de -1-I.6cd rebel, at a perpetual ornament for be city of Richmond. Speeches were stie, resolutions passed, subscriptions ode (on paper), advertisements publish -d, artists spoken with, and yet, Richmond, Ctthis day, has not received the promised .tatue. The artist declined commencing kis operations until he had part of the "3/ I mt in advance and good security for . he remainder, .and the project - vanished .nto thin air. So, we suspect, would be se end of the project for giving LEE a . 4- rlnanent liberal income in England. There 10)1 i.te a general ejection for Members of the House of Commons in a 7 few months, and the gentlemen who sym pathized so warmly with the rebels, will have need of their money to secure their own return. We all know what corrup. tion and drunkenness, bribery and perjury, are in the ascendant at every General Elec tion on the British islands. "Free and independent electors" are to : be found, on the polling-day, lying in barns, eat-houses, pigmies, and even on the streets, and fre quently have to be pUniped over and drenched with cold waterto enable them to go to the poll and vote foi the candidate who has given, 'or promised the highest price, for their " most sweet voices." As a contested election rune up from $25,060 t 0.5500,000, it can readily be imagined that "the members of Parliament" who might be expected to sigh for the society of •LEIC, the rebel general, will have too much need for their money to be able to spare any of it for Urn. • . Nor, indeed, if the necessary money were to be raised, is it quite certain that LEE will be present to accept,and profit by it. We do not know, as yet, whether LEE will be permitted to leave this country until his character and conduct have been subjected to a close examination. He may, or he may not, have been cognizant of .the dam nable conspiracy of the Confederate Thugs down at Richmond, in which JEFFERSON DAVIS and his Executive associates seem to have been deeply involved. But, be sides this, plain persons, who possess ordi nary common sense, find it difficult to divest themselves of the idea" that LEE, in command, close to Richmond for such an extended period, mad not have been ignorant of the horrible maltreatment of Union prisoners in the Libby prison, which was close to his face, as we may say. We do not like to anticipate— but it is allowable to consider probabilities, and it may become a question how far, by not objecting to them, LEE sanctioned the ill usage, starvation, and tyranny to which our prisoners were the victims, and too often, the sacrifices, in Richmond ! We think, with DARWIN, that "Re who allows oppresnon shares the crime." There need not be much apprehension that, even were LEE at liberty to leave this country tomorrow, he would be made much of abroad. The character of the Ate rebellion is properly estimated in Europe, tuid those who were prominent in the perjury, treason, and cruelties f it in volved are scarcely likely . to be faiOrably received anywhere. Least of all will Xnglapd, which prizes loyalty above all public virtues, look with friendly regard, upon any:. American traitor. t' Southern Chivalry" is at `a great discount in Europe.

Ho would appear to have had enough talking, on his appearance before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, to indispose him from general speech mating. -At the Union Club Rooms, on Saturday evening, he made, a vary brief speech, and to the clamors of the multitude who surrounded the 0100 room, eager fora talk, he responded simply in the following words : .

Magotiln, it will be remembered, was the Governor of the State at the opening of the rebellion; and was a bitter secessionist. Truly our victories have made some queer obanoes both in men and things. A whilom blatant rebel, a rabid Abolitionist! PERSONAL. Gen. Sherman vialted Weet Point on Monday, and was conducted orer the grounds and through the academy. Ho had an interview with General Scott, which is said to hare been peculiarly Im pressive and agreeable.

Scott, and you have gone through It all unhurt,'! be continued. "Except one slight scratch, hardly worth men- Bening." replied Sherman. um glad to see you here today unhurt," was the reply. " Yon have made a great name, sir . ; yen broke the back of the rebellion, sir." Sherman goes to Chicago, thence to his home In Ohio, where ho will remain about a month. General Grant and staff are expected to arrive In New York to-day. Rooms have been provided at the Astor House, whore the public will have the chance to shake hands with the General. He will attend the great meeting to be held to-night at Cooper Institute to sustain President Johnson's Administration, in company, It. is expected, with Generate Thomas, Terry, and Logan. West Point will afterwards be visited, and then, like Sherman, Grant will go to Chicago to be present at the Sani tary Pair. A writer In the New York .Express from Ball ston Spa, thus speaks of an eccentric) fellow, name unknown, who goes about 'the neighborhood, at tracting much attention : " He goes about In an elongated brown linen Rag lan reaching to h 1 Meosenta slippers.

There Is a report afloat that the decision has been assisted by a violent . collision between the President and the Secretary, both strong-willed men, in which the latter indulged In hie brusque manners, and the former took occasion to inform him that he (Amur) was Prosllent of the United States. But It is said that there is not moots la this, for the President aesured a major general yesterday that the separation about to take' place was only Induced by the prcetiation of 'Kr.

Mr. STANTON been offered the position of =Water to Berlin, but the plane is not deemed of Eufflotent Importanc• If his resigna.; iron be not already in the President's hands, it will be shortly. • . • There is not one word of truth in the above state ment. Mr. STANTON has not resigned—has not de , let:mined to resign, and is not prostrated by his or hausUner labors. This contradiction is made on the authority of Mr. STANTON himaelf. There has been ne Ooh Delon (violent or otherwise) between the President atd Secretory. • • And the President made no such remarks to a major general, or anybody else, In regard to Mr. STANTON, as above quoted. There never has boon the slightest 10 feeling between President Joaroort and Mr. STANTON. Their relations are of the kindest and warmest character. This contradiction is made on the authority of President Joasreox himself. The efforts to destroy the fearless Secre• tary of War the confidence of the President are thus again exposed and defeated. 0. P. Q. THE TRIAL OF JEFF DAVIS.

J. Thomas, In the community where be rives, is very bad; If I believed he has any pre. judice, or any money at stake, 1 would not believe him under oath ; his reputation for veracity before the war was pretty much the same as it Is now. Cross-examined by Judge Bingham : The day this conversation took place at . Willlam Watson's was on Tuarsaay ; when I rode up Lemuel Watson re• marked to me "1 am glad you have acme; you art a justice of the . pesce ; Daniel says ne is entitled to so much reward, and I want you to say whether be IS entitled to it ;" I don't recollect whet I said at the time to Thomas he applied to Watson for a certificate that halted Infmmed them of Dr. dltidd'a arrest'; that if be could get this aertifloate he could get a portion of the reward, or words equivalent ; If be had said, If you give me a oertificate that I in ,farmed,you ,Of Dr- Mudd's arrest, he would be en titled to a reward," that would have been words equivalent; we told him we though he was entitled to twenty thousand dollars; we meant it as a joke, and told him so afterwards, but die not at the time ; . replied that he did not watt a certificato of me, ' • or wordirto that effect ; he told inc ho did not want me to swear to a lie for him to get twenty thousand dollars. " • Q. Didn't you swear a little while ago that you has told him that he had better take twenty thou sand dollars 1 A. If. I did,' I recall It ; what -I in tended,to say was, that I told him and Watson told him, that he was entitled to . twenty thousand dol lars ; but that was a joke ; I did not know that he was entitled to anything; I have had no a:lineation at all with the rebellion, and have not sympathized with It ; I have been all the time during the rebel lion in Charles and Prince George 001111t103, keeping School. By Mr. Ewing :..I have been a hearty. supporter of all the measures of the Government to suppress the rebellion ; air. Thomas was not a hearty sup• porter of the Government in 1861 ; I met him on the way from school during that year and he stated he was going down to join the Southern army, and when Beauregard came over he was going to come bank and bang a man—Thomas P. Smith; Thome!! wan net a loyal man at the beginning of the war. Mr. Ewing at this .point Introduced in evidence the aeneral order of the War Department ot . 20t4 April. 3865, offering one hundred thousand dollars reward for the arrest of Booth and his aocomplines, and liberal rewards for information loading to the arrest of any orthe parties. ' Testimony of John F. DiviS. • ••• . BysMr. Ewing : :I Was at the house of Dr. Mudd, the prisoner, the Tuesday folldwing the 31S8SFS3119. non of the President ; I went to the field and in. formed him of the fact that Lieut. Myatt and a party of soldiers bad come to arrest him ; I omne up with him to the house, and was there mat by George Mudd ;* be met Dr. Sam Mudd just at the end of the kitchen. . • Q. State what Dr. George Mudd said, to Dr. Sam PUdd Judge Bingham : I object to that question. - - Mr. Ewing (the witness . having retired from the room) stated that his objeot was to rebut the testi mony introduced.by,the proSeoutlon that Dr. Marc, itenied that there had been any pertains at his house on That morning.' The defence had already proved, in a roundatraut way, that the prisoner had informed Dr. George Mudd that two suspielous persons had been at his house on Saturday morning, and re quested him to communioate the Cam to the military authorities, a hick ho had done, and he proposed to chow by this witness that Dr. George Mudd now in formed -him that, having given information as he requested,•the detective had come for the purpose of questioning him on this subject; and as Samuel knowing the fuot that. information had al ready been communicated from him, Through' Dr. George Mudd, of the visit to his house of two anspi. clone persons, it was unnatural to suppose that tee prisoner -would then, as stated by one of the wit. nesseS..for the prosecution, have denied that any persons bad been at his house. Judge Bingham said the purpose was to bring in the declaration of the third, person to the ;Waded, which was utterly incompetent. The objection was sustained by the court, and the witness recalled. Q. State whether Dr. Samuel Medd betrayed any alarm when you informed him that the detartives had come to biz house 1. A. None that I know of; he manifested no unwillingneas to go to the hottso, and came right up there with me. Testimony of IL, S. Orine. ,By Mr. Ewing lam koquainted with the witness D. S. Thomas; I know his reputation in the com munity In wlitotrhe lives forveratilty ; I never heard him tell any story in my life; of any length that he did not tell a good many things not true do not know any man down there who would believe him to anything he would undertake to tell ; I have lizown him since before he was grown ; In any mat ter in which , he was prejudiced I would not oolleve Wm under oath, and•wouid hardly believe him any "wi. Cotaietiomined by Judge Holt: I am loyal to the Government to the best of my ability ; I have atwal6 wished that the Union might be suitalned ; 1 never wanted to see two Governments ; I always shociabtllie North wouldkucoeed, if either. By Ws. Ewing Thomas was not a loyal man when the war ootemehoed ; he begged me once, in 1861.1b:ao South with him ; the that of the war he was looked upon as a areas friend of the South, and a peat help to them as far as his ability would go, which was not much. • Testimony of H.

A. strong cavalry escort, consisting of Ferguson's, Vaughn's, Duke's, • and Breckinridgeis brizade?, were selected to &company and protect Mr. Davis and bis family. and immediate personal friends, in their flight. The whole party, consisting. of Mr. Davis, John H. Regan, ea-Governor 'Lubbock, of Texas, aid-de-camp ; Burton N. Harrison, private score relater Mr. Davis; Colonel William Preston Jobnston, and the brigades above mentioned,. ar. rived at 6 bheville, South Carolina, on ther27th . of April, without any particular Incident having on. currecealorg the route. When Mr. Davis waived at Abbeville, he dis covered there was universal disaffection among his escort, and that they were determined to make no reeistarce in the event they were attacked, no mat ter how great or email the attacking force 'might be. But little or no effort was made to Indium them to follow the fortunes of their leader farther: Tern, all chose to remain behind; except six Kentuckians cf Duke's brigade, who remained with him. -The ft Hewing are the names of the soldiers who refused to leave Mr. Davis. They all belonged to th e 2-1 Kentucky Cavalry : Lieut. Baker: Privates San• acre, Smith, Heath, Walbert, and Harkness. Mr. Davis had, several days. before leaving Char lotte, sent off his family, consisting of his lady and four little children. • 'retry were Wenn:foliated by his wlfeis sister, Miss Howell, of New• Orleans, and her brother, Midshipman Lieutenant Ba th e, h e ffreeitiff e eilter. - fefffeeeetalteitiele • e e up with ; and to Seale further aggravate the cese, unpleasant rumors reached him of the proee. bettlee of an attack open his family, who were one day yet In advance, by guerrillas. Passing through Vesnington, he took the Sanderaville road, almost due south, but for certain reasons left that village to the right. At Irvin's cross-roads, in Washington contty, a bane of desperadoes made a demonstra tion upon the carriages anoliambniances containing Mr. Davis , family, and again at Dublin, but after tearing weo the occupants were, and being assured they could not rob the party without that shedding blood, they desisted and drew off. At Deana they amounted to at least thirty men, and cantered, of ceserters from both the Federal and Confederte armies, banded together for the purpose of highway robbery. Mr. Davie had, at midnight meths 6th, overtaken and rejoined his family, six miles north of Dublin, ano just before the desperadoes organized there, in ter.dmg.to make the attack. Heehowever, passed them unmolested. Leaving Dublin, or the camp In thew eels, near that little village, on the morning of the 7th, the whole party , travelled leisurely along until they reached the Ocinulgee :river, at Abbe- Wilcox county, on the 9th. Before reaching there Mr: DMs had again separated from his family, retaining may a few persons with him. His lacy crossed before him, buteceening up on the same ' night, he was recognized by the ferryman, who made haste to tell his pursuers, a few hours after ward, who he had set across the stream. At Abbe. vele the party learned, from. citizens, that the Fade rat cavalry were at Hawke:keying', and at midnight left their encampment and took tile Irvinville road. Arriving within ono Mlle of that plain at slate hoar In the altertoon, they wont into camp, from which they were destined to leave as prisoners. When Genera Wilson received capers from Wash ington to take Inentaarea to arrest, if possible, Mr. Davis, Lieut. Col. Pritchard, of the 4th Michigan, in commatd of One hundred and fifty men of his own regiment, and perhaps fifty of the 2d Wiscon sin, was deepatehed down the Comulgee, to watch the. cressirg. Going directly-to' Haweinsylite, in- Jermation was there received, through unknown aeeeoleseliat Mr. Davis would arose, or had crossed Abteville. Going to that ferry, the ferryman at once offered to bet 8100,000 that he had set Jeff Davie and has fatally over the river. Such indeed was the fact, and from thence to their encampment was a straight and smooth read. Mr. Davie had posted two videttbs re apectlvely on the Ilawkineville and the Abbeville roads, but from utter exhausiwn they - slept instead .of watching, and were either captured or passed by before they were aroused. As a consequence, OM Prltehirdle advance came up to the very camp without being °Nerved. The Id Wisconsin made a detour and gained the road in advance, whilst the 4th Michigan came directly up to the camp, whose inmates, were all sleeping. Then, giving the she pal, the 4th Wisconsin charged into the oampe and captured all its inmates. Col. Johnson and one or two servants were alone awake at the time. Tiny at first thought they had been attacked by the !pie• rinse, but the truth soon became known that they had fallen into other hands. Leaving a guard over Mr. Davis, hie family and eteort, the remainder °etas 4th Michigan, supple. ir g that u large force of Confederate cavalry man be on ahead, went forward teeacteek.them. At a thole distance they met the advance of the 21 Wis consin, and firing at ones commenced. Many vet loye were exchanged, Mr. Davis assuring the mon that they were killing one another, and that he had no IDOL elatuponXiie road. After the tiring ceased, it was ascertained that four man of the MI Wilson sin were killed and two wounded, and that of the 4111. Michigan two were killed and three wounded, among whom was an officer. . - An official despatch was forwarded that morning, the 10th day of May. back to Matron, containing a brief account of the expedition and its remits, and announcing that if the capture took place seventy eve stellerfrom the any it would take this e days to note. the city. Nothing worthy of note transpired en the road from Irvinaville to Macon. Mr. Davh and his family were treated with the utmost °lenity by their captors, and many tokens of affection and esteem were sh owni them by the people along the road. A GLIBBIcAL PORTRAIT OF GEN.

It says : Farrar Hall is the only place in the city suitable for public entertainments. A city In which there could be no concert?, lectures, anti!. billow, public meetings, etc., would indeed be an anomaly, and a most absurd ore. A suitable place for public, use is vitally necessary to the comfort and welfare of all classes, and lilt csnnot be had with out, the city authorities should at once abolish all license. They are, we believe, asked only to reduce the license to a level with that charged to halls In other cities. The alternative is the transforming of Farrar Hall into a billiard room. As the conserva tor of public morals and the guardian of the peo ple's welfare, the duty of the Councils in this matter is most plainly apparent, and we hope to see ar. Farrar's request acceded to without demur?'
