Any war news to occupy the columns of the
Press, onr neighbors of the Gazette and
Democrat have managed to get up a, small
war on their own hook. In their skirmishes,
they of course sometimes indulge in flights
of fancy ot even extravaganzas. In the
latter, we think our neighbor Turdy has
entirely eclipsed his competitor of the Ga
zette who will find it extremely difficult to
get ahead of the following, which we clip
from the Democrat of last week:
"Ko purer patriot or better man never
"lived upon this contiucut than James Bu
"chanan." This, if not ironical, is certainly most ex
travagant, in view of the fact that Washing,
ton, Jefferson and Jackson were of this con.
tinent. There are but few intelligent men
who would now think of endorsing James
Buchanan.

TRIAL tF THE ASSASSIN.
It Is to be reirretted that the proceedings
of the Military Commission, were so proteeU
ed that the patience of newspaper publishers
and reader wts well nigh exhausted before
the deliver? of the able and oonclusive final
speech of Hon. John A. Bingearo. The gist
and tuostance ot tne wnoie proceeding is
therein presented in a systematic iiod con
nccted form. ' Ufifottlinalc'l, Hsxtreffie
length has prevented its general publication.
We printed a few days ago, bis overwhelm
ing argument on the legality or the Commis
sion, in .which he completely demolished
the position) pf Hon. Revcrdy Johnson; and
kis comments on the evidence, which were
summarily disposed of in a short column re
port of the Associated Press, fill more than
fourteen columns of small type in thfl Wash
ington Chroniolt. The subject' was so vast
and comprehensive that every word be ut
tered bore directly upon the case, and every
poin; he made was essential to complete the
logical chain of reasoning by which he de
monstrated wain . matuemaucai precision
that the prisoners were guilty in manner
and form as they stood ir.clkjted ) and we
deeply regret that thousands who have read
tne evidence In detached acspatcnes, and
who have also perused the arguments pre
sented in bcha'f of the defendants will have
no clear idea of the history of the assassina
tion, as it is ti aly and justly described and
illustrated by Mr Bingham.
It will l)e remembered that tne accused
are charged with having conspired with
"John H. Buratt, Julio. Wilkes Booth. Jeffer
son Davis, George N. Saunders, Beverly
Tucker, Jacob Thompson, William C. Cle
ary, Clement C. Clay, George Hooper, and
George Young," to murder Abraham Lin
coln, Andrew Johnson, William JU. pewaru
and Ulvsses 8. Grant. ; An essential feature
of the subjict) therefore, is the complicity of
the leader ot the rebellion, and ins agenra
in Canada. Almut one-half of the comments
of Mr. Bingham on the evidence are devoted
to an explanation of the testimony against
these prime-movers of the conspiracy. After
quoting the legal authorities which main
tain that "it is an established rule that
where several persons are proved to havp
combined together for the Same illegal pur
pose, any act done by one of the party, in
pursuunce of the original concerted plan,
and in reference to the common object, is
in the contemplation of law, as well as in
sound reason, the act of the whole party,"
he proceeds to enumerate the evidences ol
the guilt of the rebel leaders. In brief, they
consist of the followirg facts: That the
Cauadian agents were duly accredited by
Jeflurson Davis, and supplied by him with
miiucy, blank commissions, mid full power
to perpetrate crimes of the deepest dye
against the people of the Northern States.
That by them Kennedy was employed to
burn the hotels of New York ; Bennett H.
Young to commit arson, robbery, and murder
at St. Albans ; and Godfrey llyaniB to in
troduce yellow fever into our cities and
camps. That Davis is proven, by his en
dorsement of Oldham's letter, to have had
a guilty foreknowledge of the plot of Ken
nedy ; and by his endorsement of the letter
of Lieutenant Alston to have cordially re
ceived that viilinn's proposition to under
take the assassination of Union lcnderB.
That as early as October, 1SG4, the agents
in Canada announced their determination
to compass the death of Abraham Lincoln;
that they began them to discuss this subject
in their correspondence with Jefferson Davis;
and that about this period they were visited
by Booth and that the contemplated assas
sination was repeatedly spoken of by them
in the presence of witnesses who have testi
fied before the Military CommUsiou. Thnt
about 6th or 7th of April, John H. Suratt
arrived at Montreal, direct from Richmond,
aud delivered to Jacob Thompson a des
patch in cipher, from Jeff Davis, which was
virtually the death warrant of Abiuhaui Lin
coln. That Thompson, about this time,
drew from the Bank of Montreal $180,000
in certificates, which could be used anywhere.
It is the theory of the prosecution that Su
ratt immediately hurried back, with a por
tion or all this money to Washington, where
ho was seen on tho fatal 14th of April, and
that t'nis reward furnished the last iuccntive
needed to nerve the murderer and his ac
complices lor their horrid task. That Su
ratt had, that evening, a short time' before
the murder, a final interview with Ids moth
er, and then hurried back to Canada, where,
it is supposed, he still remains concealed.
That he was despatched to Richmond in
March lHr, by liootb, for inaUucliuus uud
money; and that his subsequent journey to
Montreal was made because it was safer
aud more convenient to obtaiu tho blood
money in the North, from whence he could
return in safety, than at Richmond, as, in
travelling back to Washington from that
point, ho might be detected when ho passed
through our lines. That the manner iu
which Jefferson Davis received the first in
telligence of the assassination indicted his
guilt, his expressions implying neither as
tonishment, joy, nor horror, but simply re
gret that "thtjob" was not completed by the
murder of Andrew Johnson and Edwin M.
Stautou. That upon Booth's body was found
the key of the same cipher which was babi
tually used by the rebel Stuto Department
this being a State secret which was doubt
less communicated to him for the express
purpose of fticiliting his confidential inter
course with the rebel authorities, and which
he would not have treasured so carefully for
any other purpose ; and that the bill of ex
change druwn by the Montreal branch ot
the Ontario Bank, doted October, 1804, for
61 12s. 10d., which was also found upon
his person, is the unexpected baluuce of the
sum he received from Jacob Thompson,
when he visited Canada, to carry into effect
his murderous purposes. All these points,
and others, which spaco will not permit us
even to enumerate here, are elaborated, dis
cussed ut length and sustained by the testi
mony. They form, in the aggregate, an un
answerable proof of the guilt of Davis uud
his official agents.
The concluded portion of Mr. Bingham's
speech is devoted chiefly to an analysis of
the testimony that beurs directly against
the criminals on trial. First in order is Dj.
Samuel A. Mudd. His part in the conspir
acy was more important than is generally
supposed. He did not merely aid the flight
of Booth. He assisted him, in November,
1864, to purchase one of the horses used by
the conspirators on the night of the 14th of
April, and from that time till the conclusion
of the tragedy he visited the assassin at the
critical periods during the progress of his
schemes: as, for instance, iu December or
January last; in March, shortly before the
inauguration, and in-April, a few days be
fore the assassination. Ho was Booth's in
structor in the route he selected for escape;
his assistant in perfecting his business ar
rangements; his counsellor, and his surgeon
anu pruiccmr hi wie ursi stage oi uis mgui.
O'Laughlin was selected to murder Gen.
Grant. , For this purpose ho repeatedly
sought opportunities to study the counte
nance, appearance, and bearing of his in
tended victim, that ho might strike a cor
blow, ; Of his guilty intercourse with Booth
various proofs are adduced, and when his
plans were unexpectedly thwarted by the
sudden departure of our illustrious Lieuten
ant General to Philadelphia, it Is believed
he was retained as a vigilant aid and senti
nel by the assassin.
; "Sam" Arnold, whose letter was found in
Booth' trunk professing warm . frieudskiD
M devotion to the common, cause, but who
advised the further . consultation , With the
authorities at Richmond, which was effect
ed by Burnt, and bo. was Arrested subs
quentiy at fortress Monroe, is believed to
have been stationed there tor the purpose
ef assisting Booth flight intobe rebel
line ' after I liad reached the region in '
which tie was arrested.
The testimony against Atzerotb Is recapi
tulated la the forcible manner, and . the
opinion Is expressed that be was prevented
from perpetrating the fearful crime he was
hired to commit, by tho promptness-With
which OMny citizen rushed to the protec
tion f Andrew Johnson, immediately after
the mtirdcf of ' Abraham Lincoln. Of his
complicity with Booth, and his agreement
to complete "the job," according to the
wishes of Jeff Davis, there can be no doubt.
, Payne's attack upon - Secretary -Seward
is oonfeseod by the-defence ff ids oounsel:
and if any additional proof of tho guilt of
Mrs. Suratt were needed, it would be furn
ished by her solemn denial of all knowledgo
of this abondoned villain on the night of his
arrest, when he came to her house ; it hav
ing been shown by the testimony that, a
short time previous to tho assassination, he
had passed four day nnder her roof. . That
Payne( after wandering through the coun
try for several days, weighed down by his
heavy load of guilt, should select her as the
only person ' he could trust as a protector;
end that she should, in the presence of the
detectives, deny all knowledge of him, is an
incidental piece of circumstantial evidence
that is equally conclusive against both, of
the conspiracy which linked them together.
Spangler is shown to have aided Booth's
escape Irom the theatre very materially. He
performed, without compunction, the part
which Chester could not be induced to as
sume. In Mr. Bingham's searching analysis he
he discloses the whole workings of this fear
ful plot as skillfully and minutely as Dick
ens unfolds the mysteries of the imaginary
crimes of bis most famous characters. He
paints in colors of living light and of uner
ring truthfulness,, the whole panorama of
infamy ' which robbed the nation of its
chosen chief, cruelly wounded tho Secretary
of State, and threatened the lives of Andrew
Johnson and Ulysses S. Grnnt ; and it is im
possible to resist the conclusion that She
case of the Government is olnry rotubliiOwct
against Jefferson Davis and his agents in
Canada, the wicked instruments whose trial
has just been colcluded. Philadelphia Press.

' Not a voice or hand is now raised against
the Government of the United States.
Every rebel General and every rebel leader
that has spoken or written, bus yielded to
the fiat of arms, and counsels that obedience
to the Federal authority which the hunted,
hurried, and oppressed people arc only too
ready to render. Howell Cobb, says the
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, "counsels on the
part of the people a cheerful and prompt
obedience to the Constitution and laws of
the country. He believes that slavery is
foicvcr dead, but he is not at all despondent
as regurds the future of the South ; on the
contrary, he believes thut a bright future
is uhcud, and thinks it only remain for the
people to put forth their best energies
toward developing the resources of the
country, to ensure commercial prosperity
and success. When asked his probable
fate, ho replied that he thought it would be
the same as that of all the original Seces
sionists before tho war, and those who bad
occupied the same position will, him since.
Ho expressed confidence in :he ability
and integrity of. President Johnson, and
thought his course toward us wuuld be con
ciliatory." Breckinridge, et Havana, is almost as out
spoken and expectant. Stephens, at Fort
Warren, near Boston, falls back upon his
original Unionism, and does not hesitate to
say he predicted what has transpired. John
Forsyth, at Mobile, argues with force upon
the duty of obedience to the laws of the
victojious Republic. Geo. W. Jones, of
Tennessee, has taken the oath, and been
pardoned by his former evnjrcre, Andrew
Johnson. James L. Ord, writing from An
dersonville, South Carolina, demands com
plete submission to the General Government,
and declares it to be a miserable hope thut
a rebel corps in Texas could hold out
against whut was strung enough to beat
Lee's and Johnston's armies. Pryor, one
of tho brat of thu insurgonts, is now one ol
the most decided supporters of the regular
authorities. Mullory is a prisoner, and his
letters are full of earnest protestations of fu
ture loyalty. All the rebel State Governors,
except Harris, of Tennessee, are either
paroled or in confinement. Lee, Johnston,

Ford's Theatre inside presents a scene of

moving. The purchasers propose to pay
$10,000 to Mr. Ford this week, when the
property will be conveyed to them. Stran
gers in the city are continually calling and
asking admission to the building; but thus
fur none have been admitted, save a few
members of the press. Notwithstanding the
close surveillance of the guards w ho have
had thu theatre in charge, the building has
been roughly used. Curiosity-seekers have
completely whittled away tho bench upon
which "peanut John" sat whilst holding
Booth's horse, and about a yard square has
been cut away from the green baize carpet,
surrounding the spot where Boot's feet struck
when he jumped upon the stage, after shoot
ing tho President. One of these curious
visitors entered the saloon adjoining the
theatre, where Booth took his last drink of
brandy just before he murdered Mr. Lincoln.
Tho visitor inquired of the bar-keeper: "Have
you the same bottle on hand out of which
Booth drank on the night of the assassina
tion?" "Yes sir." "And the same brandy in
it?" "Yes sir." "Can I have a drink of that
same brandy out of that same bottle?" "Yes
sir.', "Let's have it." The visitor tastes the
brandy, makes a wiry face and continues:
"And that's the sume brandy that Booth
drank?" "Ve sir." "Well, I don't wonder
that he killed the President. A drink of
thut brandy would make a man kill his

account of the grasshopper plague which is
desolating the region of country he has tra
versed. He says : The only thing spoken
about here is ihe grasshoppers. They are
