"Wt publish the above article, from the
Gazette, of laet week, entire, as the best evi
dence that can be adduced, to ebow that
the motives of our neighbor, in giving it
publicity, if not altogether selfish, wore not
entirely toid of envy or Jealousy. Our
neighbor Is exceedingly anxious that the Ga
zette should be considered the solo organ of
the Republican party in this county not
so much on account of the principles of the
part; aa the patronage it may dispense. AVe
can only say to our neighbor, if he has not
succeeded in "running" his paper to suit all
parties, it is not because he has made no ef
fort to do so. . Because the Commissioners of
the county choose to solect the American in
preference to the Gazette, in matters that
require publication in two papers, is certain
ly no evidence of inconsistency on our part(
or wrong in the Commissioners. If the G el
icits enjoys less of the confidence of either
party than the American, it should ernlea
Tor to ascertain the cause and correct the
evil, instead of making vague and unmanly
charges, intended to impair the standing of
his neighbors by insinuating that we were
willing to pander to the opposite party, in
order to secure the meagre "mess of pot
tage," after which the Gazette has such a
terrible hankering.
It is only a few years since when- the Go-
tetle claimed to be the exclusive organ of
the democracy of this county, and in order
to prevent us getting even a smell of the
"flesh pots," over which they so greedily
presided, they denounced the American as
a whig paper in disguise, which no democrat
should support Now, since their sudden
conversion to Republicanism, they put on a
different pair of spectacles, and accuse us of
leaning towards the democracy, in whose
temple they wore but recently such ardent
worshippers that they could scarcely find
expletives strong enough to denounce the
principles of the "rascally whigs."
We regret that we cannot return the com
pliment, and say that we " admire the tact"
which enables our neighbor to trim his sails
for any breeze, and from any quarter.
t3f The Pittsburgh Gazette says : It is a
matter of congratulation that Pittsburgh is
the healthiest city in the Union, and, indeed,
in proportion to population, we might add,
ia the broad world. The mortality list will
bear ns out in the assertion. For the seven
days ending June Oth, there were only seven
.deaths, three of which resulted from causes
generally ignored informing judgment of
the public health, viz : still-born, suicide by
intemperance and: accident.

This conviction, together with the views
expressed in my letter, and your invitation,
in March lost, to express my opinions upon
politics, are my excuse for speaking and for
making tlio expressions that 1 tnink due,
and for ottering my counsel to tne people,
If I understand the object of politics, it
is to relieve ttie distress o! tne people, and
to provide for their future comfort. The
course that I advise will be sure to meet
this view, and do justice to all. In times of
great ease and comfort I should not presume
to interfere with politics, no matter what
technicalities or special pleadings might be
adopted by parties. JJut tuese are unusual
times, and call for practical advice.
The Platform adopted by the late Demo
cratic State Convention declares'
That in the present conflict of legislative
usurpation with Constitutional law, a wise,
fearless and upright Judiciary ia the great
bulwark ot public liberty ; that the Union is
perpetual and the Federal Government su
preme within its Constitutional limits ; that
representation in Congress and the Electoral
College is a right indestructible, and its
denial is thf destruction of government
itself t that (he establishment of negro suf
frage in any of the States by federal power
ia an usurpation and outrage, and we will
resist to the last resort the threatened meas
ure of the Republican party in the elective

Tha followina is an abstract oi the open
ing address of the district attorney in tba
Borrattcaset
Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, assistant district
attorney, then addressed the jury, and said
all were aware that In criminal cases the
custom la for the prosecution at the begin
ning or a case to maae Known mo buujcui
of Tnaulrv. and to state in outline what
proof would be brougnt lorwara to support
the charges contained in the indictment.
The Grand Jury of the District of Colum
bia have indicted John II. Burratt, the pris
oner at the bar, for the murder of Auratiam
Lincoln, late President of the United States.
The duty of the Jury is to ascertain whether
the accused is guilty or not guilty, and an
inquiry of a more solemta character was
never submitted to human intelligence.
They are, in fact, to turn back the leaves of
history, to shut the red page on which are
written the awful incidents of that April
night, and to inquire as to the blow tbat
was there and then struck, not only at hu
man life alone, but a blow against the per
petuity of this Government and against lib
erty itself. They would scarcely need wit
nesses to describe tne terrible scenes oi mat
awful night.
A vast audience was tnen assemoiea at
public place, whose hearts were filled with
the joy of peace, and among that audience
was he who had presided over the country
through years of sorrow, but who was now
regarded as a victor. A victor he was, in
deed, but a victor in wnoso ncart mere was
no emotion but kindness. To him death
came in the most sudden and terrible form.
Witnesses who will come here will tell you
that upon tbat night John Wilkes Booth left
the front of the theatre and went back to
the box occupied by the President.
Mr. Wilson tnen renearsed tne circum
stances of the shooting of the President, of
Bootn's leaping Irom tne box to tne stage,
and of bis subsequent flight. Mr. Wilson
then continued, and said the prosecution
would prove, as no case was often proved,
that the prisoner at the bar was present,
aiding aud abetting the murder, and tbat a
few momenta before the shot waB fired he
was present in front of the theatre, in con
sultation with Booth. You will see him as
from the light of the lamp that shone full
in his face. lie shall be known also as the
friend and companion of Booth, and as the
director of the bullet that pierced the brain
of the President, and of the bloody knife
which fell with such terrible torce upon tne
person of the Secretary of State. It will be
fully proven that be was present with Booth,
directing the murder, and that the act was
not the result ot a moment s tuougut oniy,
but was oyremeditated plot, and tbat the
prisoner at the bar was the chief and main
mover in this matter. It will be proved
that he was a traitor to his country and a
spy upon the action of the Government, and
who traveled regularly between Washington
and Canada, all the time weaving a net and
plotting the destruction of the Government
and the overthrow and slaughter of the ar
mies of the United States; and as an indi
cation of the motive tbat possessed bis
mind, the jury shall hear how he boasted
how he bad shot down unarmed Union sol
diers while tbey were escaping from rebel
prisons.
It shall be shown how the prisoner made
his home in this city tho rendezvous for the
perfection of their bloody work, ana that it
was be who left at Surrattsville the arms
which Booth took possession of in his flight,
and one of which was taken irom him alter
his death. It will be shown that in April,
1865, Burratt went from Richmond to Cana
da; and tbat while in Montreal, he, on the
10th of April, received a letter trom Booth,
commanding his presence in this city.
He came home and it will be shown ex
actly by what route; and the prosecution
will prove by testimony as clear as the noon
day sun, that Burratt was here on that fatal
Friday, and was walking througn Pennsyl
vania avenue, booted and spurred, and that
but two hours before the fatal shot was ftred
he purchased the disguises which the assas
sins were to use in tneir nignt, and tnat
when the last blow was struck he set lorth
upon his shuddering flight.
-mat mem win be traced, because in taw
flight is tne criminal's confession, and be
cause during the flight the prisoner, in the
fancied security of friendship, makes ac
knowledgements which fix upon him the
guilt. It will be shown that after the assas
sination the prisoner went to Canada, and
his whereabouts in Montreal will be shown.
It will be shown how long he remained there,
and where he was secreted, and bow be was
there in disguise during the time the trial
was in progress at the Arsenal, when be
could have thrown much light upon the
trial and done much to establish the guilt
or innocence of tlyise then charged.
From Canada he crossod the Atlantic, ana
it will be Bhown that when in mid ocean be
spoke freely of hia connection with the con
spiracy, and, when he landed upon a foreign
shore, he raised his impious band and ex
pressed a wish that be could return and
serve Andrew Johnson as Abraham Lincoln
had been served.
In England be found sympathy, but con
science still b'auntcd him, and he fled again,
this time to Home, and bid himselt iu the
Papal army, and enlisted as a private soldier.
lie might have telt bimseir secure there it
anywhere ; but he was recognized and dis
covered by the companion of his youth, who
pierced through all bis disguises, and when
he found denial was useless he acknowledged
bia identity, and gave utterance to the mem
orable words, "I have dono the Yankee as
much harm as I could. We have killed
Lincoln, the negroes' friend."
The man to whom Surratt was revealed,
as in duty bound, made the fact known to
the American Minister at Rome. We had,
it is said, no treaty of extradition with that
country, but bo horrible was the prisoner's
crime, and so notorious was bis name, tbat
the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli surrendered
him. lie escaped again by leaping from a
precipice ; a leap which would have been
impossible to any one except one who fully
realized his guilt, and knew hia life -was
worthless. lie fled to Egypt, and was pur
sued, not by the bloodhounds of the law, as
the counsel for the defence seemed to think,
but the very elements conspired to point him
out, and from Alexandria hia face was turned
homeward to the land he had polluted with
murder.
lie is here now for trial, and when all
these things are proved, as proven they will
be, and all shall be made clear, as it will be
in spite of the subterfuges tbat will be re
sorted to, it will be the duty of the jury, in
the nsme of civilization Surrat has dis
graced, to do full and impartial justice, and
retribution shall be meted out to the shedder
of innocent blood.

A (CHILD sVTABTBD TO PEATS IN ITS MOTBBu'S
ARMS ABXIKr OT THR S0HT1 VINO buffer
srs, ' " : :
Yesterday morning a family of Germans,
consisting of a man and his wife and three
children, evidently In very poor circum
stances, arrived here on the Atlantic and
Great Western train, en route for Cincinnati,
to which Dlace tbev bad secured transpor
tation from New York. Aa the train failed
to connect with the forenoon train on the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Road, the
family was obliged to lay over here for the
evening train.
For a while the poor family remained on
the platform, until some one invited them
to go into the ladies' room and be seated.
The people seemed to shrink from observa
tion, and were grouped together in one cor
ner of tho room. 1 be woman was noiding
an Infant in her arms, and a lady who hap
pened to pass close to her noticed that it
looked like a corpse, and, as she could speak
the German language, she asked the poor
woman what was the matter with her child.
At this question the poor woman burst into
uncontrollable lamentation, declaring that
her child was dead.
As soon as the grief stricken mother could
partially control herself, she informed the
lady that they were very poor ; that they
had just means enough to get to New York,
and purchase a second class ticket to Cin
cinnati, where they had friends ; that they
had no money to purchase food, and were
afraid to ask anybody for something to eat ;
and that tbey had suncred in silence, with
out a morsel of food far themselves or chil
dren from the time they left New York until
they reached thia city.
About three hours before they reached
here their babe a child about a year old
died from starvation I And that poor, starv
ing mother carried her dead child upon her
bosom, honing to reach their friends in
Cincinnati before they should all be starved
The countenances of the man aud wife
bore painful evidence of the progress of
starvation, and their uncomplaining chil
dren looked little better than the corpse of
the littlo sufferer that bad lust passed
through the gate of death to the land of
plenty i
The moment the terrible condition
this poor family was made known, they
found friends in everybody around tuem
The mother was instantly rolieved of her
dead babe, and while a messenger was di
patched for an -undertaker, the surviving
members of the sorrowing family were
taken to the waiting room in the depot, and
given all that tbey could eat. By-standers
tell us tbat tbe scene in the depot, when
the suffering mother gave vent to her pent
up grief, was one of the most affecting and
borrowing they ever, witnessed. Every one
was allected to tears.
Mr. Richard Lane, the Infirmary director
took charge of the interment of tbe child
and Mr. Snyder: the clever baggage master,
collected some twenty-five dollars from the
bystanders, and presented it to the poor
man, who was utterly overwhelmed with
this uulooked for generosity.
The child was buried yesterday afternoon
and the bereaved family, after being made
as comfortable as possible, were sent on
the evening train to their friends in Cin
cinnati. A word about their situation at
any point on the route would have secured
these suffering people all the food they
desired ; but they were actually so diffident
among strangers that tbey would all have
starved to death before they would have
made their situation known or asked for
food.
IMPOKTAIVl' I'llOM MEXICO.
New Orleans, June 18. The following
has been received irom Galveston dated
June 10 :
We have advices from Queretaro of June
8, and Monterey June 9. A letter from
Ban Luis of June 0, says a telegram from
Queretaro of the 8d states that - the trial of
Maximilian was not Concluded. Sixty
ladies in mourning, residing in San Luis,
called on President Juarez and prayed for
the life of the prisoners taken at Queretaro.
Juarez said be would do all be could com
patible with justice and his duty ; that
many Liberals bad been shot, and they had
not interceded.
Two engagements at the Capitol resulted
in favor of the Republicans, and tbe foreign
ers advised Marquee to surrender, promising
to protect his escape.
The Brownsville Itanehero says El Eexi
cana, of the 12th, reports that Santa Anna
was off Vera Cruz.
It was reported tbat Maximilian had asked
a private interview with Juarez for the pur
pose of disclosing important State secrets.
Maximilian was convicted on the night of
the 8d inst., and sentenced to be shot on tbe
morning of the 4th, with Mirumon and
Mejia.
Marquez, commanding the city oi Mexico
has executed General O'Harran, commander
of the post, for treasonable correspondence
with the Liberals. Ho has also arrested one
hundred and aixty Liberal sympathizers,
and threatens to execute them and to burn
the Capital if Maximilian or his Generals
are harmed.
Mejia selected Escobedo for his counsel,
who refused to serve, saying, "See him
first."
Flake's Bulletin has returns from El Paso,
and other custom houses on tbe Rio Grande,
by which it appears that tbe export oi cot
ton this. year, to Mexico, is about 10.008
bales. Bonded warehouses have been
established at San Antonio, and the trade
with the interior of Mexico is now expected
to ue large.

Vienna, June 17. The Emperor of Aus
tria has decided to make his Ministry ic
sponsible to the Reichsrath. Orders will
soon be issued from the War Office to stop
all work on the fortifications ot Vienna.
Extensive reforms are to be introduced in
the discipline and management or the Aus
trian army. It is said that the Imperial
Government is about to submit to the
Reichsrath a law permitting trial by jury in
penal cases, and also intends to make a pro
position for the amendment of the Constitu
tion in February.

The Action of the President.
The President and his Cabinet yesterday
decided that tbe opinion of the Attorney
General necessitates the revoking of those
acts of tbe District Commanders which it
declared to be illegal. Mr. Stanberry him
self pointed out that such action would
necessarily touow tne approval oi ins argu
ment. "There is," he said, "an executive
duty to be performed here which cannot
safely be avoided or delayed," and, in sup
port of this conclusion, he quoted recent de
cisions of the Supreme Court, in an elaborate
argument. It is evident tbat the Presiden
tial interpretation of the Reconstruction law
is not intended to be merely a theory ; it is
to bo carried out. As rapidly as possible
our soldiers in the Rebel States are to be
converted into uniformed policemen, power
less to repress disloyalty or punish crime,
except when tbey take the shape of murder
and massacre. All tbat Slieridun, and Sick
les, and Pope have done to protect loya!
men, and to prevent tbe States from falling
altogether into Rebel control, is to be undone
by peremptory order. All that the people
did through their Congress is to be undone
by one man. The law is to be nullified.
We are constrained to believe that this in
the President's intention, and that he means
that bis lightning and Mr. Stanbery's thun
der shall fall together. Already the Rebels
in New Orleans are rejoicing in the faith
that Monroe and Abell are to be reinstated
in tho offices thoy abused. If this is not the
President's intention, the opinion of his
officer is waste paper, and the Cabinet meet
ing yesterday an idle threat. But there is a
thunderbolt behind that Mr. Johnson
wields, and if, indeed, this issue is to be
forced upon the country, it will be promptly
met. Gen. BchencK, it is said, nag already
summoned the Members of Congress to
Washington, and, our dispatches say, of the
fourteen Senators who liuvo accompanied
Senator Wade on his Western excursion
there is not one who has not decided that a
July session is necessary. JVcie York Tri

MEANS OF THE COMPANY.
Estimating the distanoa to be built bv the Union
Paoifio to be 1,564 milea, the United States Uovorn
ment Issues its Six per cent. Thirty-year lionda to
the Company as the road is finished at the average
rate oi snout io,iau per mue, amounting w 44,2U3,.
000.
Tha Company ia also permitted to issua Ita own
First Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and at tba
same time, whioh by speoial Act of Congress are
made a First Mortgage on the entire line, the bonds
of tha United States being subordinate to them.
The Government makes a donation of 12300 acres
of land to tha mile, amounting to 20,0.32.000 aorot,
estimated to be wortb .!0,000,000, making tbe total
resources, exclusive of the oapital, $118,4111. (W0 ; but
tbe full value ofthelandscnnnotnow be realited.
The authorised Capital Stock of the Company is
one hundred million dollars or wbtcn nvo millions
have already been paid in, and of which it is not
supposed tbat more than twenty-five millions at most
will be required.
Tbe cost ot the rond is estimated b.y competent en
gineors to be about one hundred million dullurs, ex'
elusive ot equipment.
PROSPECTS FOB BUSINESS.
Tho railroad connection between Omaha and tha
East is now oomplete, and the earnings of the Union
Paoifio on the sections nlroady finished lor the first
two weeks in May were $113,000. These sectional
earnings as tbe road prngrossos will muob more than
pay the interest on the Company's bonds, and tho
tnrougn business over tne-oniy lino oi rauroaa ot-
tween tno Aliantio ana racmo must Da immense.
Value nad Security of the I tontl.
Tha Company resnootfully submit, that the above
statement of facts fully demonstrates tha security of
tneir Bonds, and as additional proof tbey would sug'
Rest that the Bonds now offered artless than ten mil
lion dollars on M7 milea of road, on wbich over twen.
ty million dollnrs bava already been expended :
on aou miles oi mis roau, mo cars are now runniiiK,
and tbe remaining 187 miles are nearly completed.
At the present rata of premium on gold these
bonds pay au annual interest on tba present cost of
Nine lcr Cent.,
and it is believed that on the completion of the road,
like the Uovernment Bonds, titer will go above par.
Tbe Company intend to sell but a limited amount at
the present low rate, and retain tha right to advance
the prico at their option.
Subscriptions will be received in New York by the
