THE SURRATT TRIAL.
TUB JURY FJ.IL TO AGREE UPON A VERDICT
THE JUDGE CHALLENGED BY THE ATTORNEY
FOB PRISONER.
This celebrated trial which has occupied
sixty days since the first juror was sworn,
and which has excited so much interest
throughout the country was closed by a
failure of the jury to agree upon a verdict
on Saturday last. During the progress of
the trial 282 witnesses, in all, were exam
ined. The prosecution first examined 74
witnesses in chief; 92 witnesses were ex
amined by the defence. The prosecution
followed in rebuttal, and after examining
73 witnesses, none others appearing, the
defence was allowed to examine 13 witnes
ses in surrebutted, principally in relation to
witnesses whose character had been assail
ed. The prosecution resuming, examined
26 witnesses in rebuttal, and the testimony
then closed with the examination of 4 wit
nesses in surrebuttal.
The per diem of the jurors amounts to
$2,384, The jurors are allowed two dol
lars per day. Four of them were sworn in
sixty days ago and the others two days af
terwards. The government is responsible
for the hotel bill of the jury, and it is not
known yet what it amounts to. The purely
legal fees to witnesses will amount to over
twenty thousand dollars. The hill for car
riage and omnibus hire to the jury amounts
to seven hundred and thirty dollars. Be
sides this it is said that the prosecution has
a large coutingent fund, and most of it has
already been expended.
At one o'clock on Saturday, the prisoner
was brought into the court-room and assign
ed the seat occupied by him during the
trial, beside his counsel. He came into
court smiling, and seemed to be in good
spirits as he chatted with his counsel.
Mr Middleton, the clerk of the court, ad
dressing the jury, said : "Gentlemen of the
jury, have yon agreed upon your verdict?"
Mr. Todd—We have not been able to
agree.
Judge Fisher—l have received the fol
lowing letter from the jury :
To the Hon. George P. Fisher , J idge of the
Criminal Court:
Sin: The jury in this case of the United
States vs. John 11. Surratt most respect
fully state that they stand precisely now as
when they first ballotted upon entering the
room. They are nearly equally divided,
and they are firmly convinced that they
cannot possibly make a verdict. We deem
it our duty to the court, to the country, and
in view of the condition of our private
affairs and situation of our families, and in
view of the fact that the health of several
of our number is becoming seriously im
pared under the protracted confinement, to
make this statement, and to ask your Honor
to dismiss us at oncc.
Most respectfully submitted,

J RUSSELL BARR, WILLIAM MCLEAN,
TIIOMES BERRY, BENJ. F. MORSELL,
GEORGE A, BOHRER, B. E. GIITINGS,
C. G. SCHNEIDER, W. W. BIRTH.
After the letter bad been read Judge
Fisher asked if anything was to be said on
either side why the jury were not to he
dischared.
Mr. Bradley said the prisoner did not
consent, and if they were discharged it
would he entirely against the protest of the
prisoner.
Mr. Harrington said he- would leave the
whole maiterwith the Court.
Judge Fisher said he had already re
ceived two or three notes of a similar tenor
to the or.e already read. If there was any
possibility of the jury agreeing he would
not object to keeping them for a reasonable
time; but as lie was informed they could
not possibly agree lie would discharge them.
The jnrv were accordingly discharged at
ten minutes past 1 o'clock.
They stood from the first ballot to the
last, eight for Requital, and four for con
viction.
Judge Fisher at this point ordered that
the name of Mr. Bradley senior, counsel for
the prisoner, he stricken from the roll of
Attorneys practising in that court, giving
as a reason, that Mr. Bradley had nsed in
sulting language towards him during the
trial. Mr. Bradley denied this statement
and claimed that his name could only be
stricken from the rolls by the act of three
judges of the supreme court.
After adjournment of the court Mr.'
Bradley handed Judge Fisher a challenge;
claiming that the Judge had intimated on
the bench that the matters of difference
could be settled by them in that manner.
Judge Fisher's course in this affair has
produced much surprise among tho mem
bers of the bar of the District. They are
bitter in their denunciations of the Judge,
and bave called a meeting, to be held on
Monday morning. They seem to make
common cause against the Judge, who they
openly declare has disgraced himself by us
ing his official power to resent a personal
insult.
Surratt was remanded to the custody of
the Marshal and returned to jail.
ADDRESS
OF THE
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMJTTZ* ROOMS, )
CLEARFIELD, Pa. Aug. 7, 1967. ]
To the People of Pennsylvania :
The Democratic organization, devoted
to the maintenance of its immortal princi
ples ; conscious of its duty to tbem, and to
the Republic ; proud of its years, its tri
umphs and its heroism in disaster, and
remembering that in the face of persecu
tion, of official frowns, cf corrupt applian
ces and of successive defeats, its numbers
have steadily increased; again presents to
you its candidate for your suffrages.
The Republican party has controlled the
government for six years, and we accuse
it before you, because :
In the sacred name of Union, it has per
petuated disunion ;
In the room of the blessings of peace, it
has given us hate, discord and misery ;
It has violated the plainest piiciples of
free government, broken the written Con
stitution, and only yielded obedience to
the behests of party ;
The people are denied the attribute of
sovereignty ; the military subverts the civ
il power ; generals remove governors elect
ed by the people, and a despotism reigns
in ten States;
Cougi ess assumes the right to say that
negroes shall vote in Pennsylvania, and
denies to us the right to regulate our own
rule of suffrage;
The negro is, by law, made the equal
of the white man in all public places, and
authorized to hold office and sit on juries
in the Capital;
The destinies of ten States, and of ten
millions of white people therein, arc, by
Congress and the military power, placed
under the control of four millions of blacks ;
Their reckless expenditure of the pub
lic money in their conduct of the govern
ment, in the support and organization of
hundreds of thousands of idle negroes, in
the employment of hordes of unnecessary
spies and officials, and in maintaining mil
itary power over the submissive South,
endangers and delays the payment of the
public debt of twenty-seven hundred mil
lions of dollars—to which the public faith
is pledged ;
Their gross mismanagement causes tax
ation to hear heavily upon the people.—
In 1860, one dollar and sixty cents per
head were pukJ by the people through the
customs; in 1866, fourteen dollars per
head were drawn, mainly from the cus
toms and internal revenue. In 1860, each
individual owed two dollars and six cents
of the public debt; in 1867, each owes
seventy-nine dollars and fifty cents thereof.
In 1860, the expenses of the goverement
were sixty-two millions; in 1867, the
Treasury estimates them at two hundred
and twenty-five millions, independent of
interest on the delt, both Icing periods of
peace. Pennsylvania's share of the public
debt is two hundred and seventy-five mil
lions, her own debt thirty-five and a half
millions, and her city and county indebt
edness will swell the to four hundred mil
lions. Twenty-five millions annually
come from your earnings to pay the inter
est thereou. In 1860, your State govern
ment cost yon four hundred and two thou
sand dollars ; whilst in 1866, it cost you
six hundred and sixty-nine thousand dol
lars;
The pressure of these exhausting bur- J
thens and the suicidal policy of Congress,
have caused uncertainty and depression to
pervade all branches of trade and manu
factures ;
Our commerce is suffering, the enter
prise of our people is repressed and busi- ,
ness interests languish;
The revenues of the government are
less than its interest and expenses, and the
financial officr foreshadows an increase I
of the public debt ;
They plot the destruction of our form
of government, by destroying the inde
pendence of the Executive, attempting to
subordinate the judiciary and by concen- j
trating all power in the legislative branch ;
Robbing the people of sovereign power,
they have united with the government in
Congress, and dealt a fatal blow at our
liberties, for tyranny may he as absolute in
a number of persous as in an individual
Unblushing corruption stalks thro' eve
ry department of the government under
their control.
For these and kindred wrongs wc ar
raign them, and as the representative of
antagonism to each of them, we present to
you our candidate for the Supreme Bench,
GEORGE SHARSWOOD— H l'cnnsylvanian
a man of pure morals, a profound thinker,
a sound lawyer and a jurist of national
reputation. It has been the rule of his
official conduct to yield obedieuce to writ
ten law, and neither party necessity nor
corrupting influence can sway him from
his duty to fearlessly proclaim it.
Ilis opponent, HENRY W. WILLIAMS, is
a native of New England, and is compara
tively unknown to our people. Frior to
his nomination he was said to he a worthy
gentleman and an able lawyer. lie has ac
cepted ft nomination upon a platform by
which he is pledged "TO PLACE THE SU
PREME COURI IN HARMONY WITH THE PO
LITICAL OPINIONS OP TIIE MAJORITY OP THE
PEOP. E." This destroys his independence,
and " holds the Judge accountable to a po
litical party for his construction of the law,
and inevitably tempts him to sacrifice his
iutegrily; to become the meanest of all
creatures—a sworn minister of justice obe
dient to the dictates of politicians."
The independent and fearless judge pro
tects your life, your liberty and your prop
erty. With which of these men will you
trust them ?
DEMOCRAATS OF PENNSYLVANIA :
Wc call upon you to organize in every
section of the State. Act for yourselves,
promptly and vigorously. Wait for no
man. The government you leve is in dan
ger, its great carJinal doctrines arc daily
attacked, and " treason in peace may prove
more deadly than treason in war." Indi
vidual exertion is the duty of every man.—
Canvass your school districts. Form clubs.
Circulate your local papers. Teach the
people. Counsel with the aged. Encour
age the timid. Arouse the sluggish. Stop
talking and go to work. The enemy are
vulnerable at every point; attack them for
their misdeeds.
YOL'R PRINCIPLES ARB ETERNAL AND
MUST PREVAIL.

mittee. IFILLIAM A. WALLACE,

CORRESPONDENCE.
FACTOBTVILLE, Aug. 10th, 1867.
EDITOR Wyoming Democrat:
DEAR SIR:—In your issue of the 7th
inst, I noticed an enlargement of your
paper, and thought there might be room
for an outside scribbler.
We noticed some two weeks since a
stranger in our place, saw him in low con
versation with some of our citizens, and
supposed him to be a Deputy Sheriff, as
he seemed to enquire for certain residen
ces ; l ut wc learned that his business was
looking up Republicans alias Radicals to
subscribe for the Independent Republican,
of Susquehanna Co. The rcsnlt was, in
about a week after this there came to our
Post office one hundred of the said Repub
lican papers. It is rather singular that
our people should be so much interested
in the affairs of Susquehanna Co. At first
we though it a flank movement to come
down on you for vanquishing the Wyo
ming Rnvublicun and taking the dear
name of Wyoming to yourself. Rut in
looking" over the said Republican paper
the mystery is solved. We notice an ar
ticle dated Factory ville, which recommends
, the selecting of the radical candidates for
Representatives from Susquehanna Co. to
avoid difficulty at home. So we see this
is merely a "campaign paper," the sub
scriptions being only for 3 and 6 months.
If the advice of the correspondent here, is
taken, it will avoid the great battle of
gog and magog between a fleshv Rev. gen- j
tleman, and a slim individual of this place,
to see who shall represent us in the Leg-!
islntive Hall this winter. Perhaps it will
not pay for a very hard fight this warm I
weather considering there is no U. S. Sen- ;
ator to elect this winter. Rut should they i
conclude to go in, we think our Factory
villc Friends has a fair show to win—bav- j
ing 100 good, true Rads out of some 400 :
which the editor of the Independent Re ,
publican is said to have obtained in this
Co.
We notice another article in the Inde
pendent Republican , from a learned cor- 1
respondent from Factoryville, W. J.
Whitney, formerly correspondent of the
Wyoming Republican, lie seems to be
getting weak in the back in regard to our j
National affairs, and says "where are we
drifting to? Our party leaders are all'
getting off the track." And further says.,
"Some are traitors, others are old worn
out fogies, and that the Radicals are not
radical enough—says the party is strong
enough without them, and advises to have
them thrown overboard, and to put in the
most Radical of the Radicals for leaders."
We would advise our Factoryville friend
to be a little more cautious, for although
this may all be true, lie must recollect the
truth is not to be spoken at all times. lie
may recollect that Andrew Johnson got a
little fuddled on a certain 22d Feb. and
went out on his balcony and made a speech
and uttered some of those same truths, j
Viz : that some of the Radicals were trait
ors, and—see the effect of that speech j
on Andrew. They threw him out of the
party because lie was too Radical to suit
the Rads, and they would have thrown him
out of the White House, but after spend
ing thousands of dollars of the people's !
money they find him there yet, and that 1
truth will stand, although there may be
some liars and traitors, as ho savs, in j
the Republican party. Wc would again
caution our Factoryville correspondent not
to expose the traitors and liars of his own
party in this " Campaign Paper," for we
hear there is some talk of selecting him as
a person radical enough to represent the •
Republicans in our Legislature, and if he
should continue to expose the errors of his
party, instead of nominating him fer Rep
resentative, they wiil serve him as they j
did Andrew Johnson —throw him out of
the party. We believe he has no " White !
House" that the) could throw him out of. :
A CONSERVATIVE.
T, r
We bade adieu to the old Whig party '
when we saw "the rent the envious Cusca,'
of the Tribune had made, and when we j
heard the cold clods sounding on its coffin.;
We eschewed the miserable degradation j
of Know-Not hingism and when the masses j
of our old Whig friends miscegcnated with ;
abolitionists, and voted for Silver Pitcher
Chase, we didn't take any of that in ours.
We remembered what Daniel \\ ebsteraud
Henry Clay had said would happen to ihe
country if the " infernal abolitionists"
should ever come into power, and foresee
ing the unspeakable calamities that befe!
us under the administration of the misera-,
blc ignoramus, Abe Lincoln, wc joined the :
National Democratic party of patriotism,
and of the white man. We loved the Con- J
sjitution, the Union, Liberty and Peace too
well to barter them for war, disunion, aris- i
tocracy and negro suffrage.— Logan (Ohio) j
Gazette.
DAVID R. PORTER, ex-Gevcrnor of the
State of Pennsylvania, died at his residence
ID Harrisburg, on the 6th inst. The de- J
ceased was a man of uncommon activity of I
mind, arid had been identified with public!
aflairs in the Commonwealth for the major
part of a long and eventful life. He was •
elected and re elected to both houses of the j
State Legislature, where he served on the j
moit important committees; was associated
with the leading men of the State in a
mending the Constitution ; was the first
Governor chosen under the amended in
strument, and held the office two terms. —
In business affairs Mr. Porter was distin
guished for breadth and soundness of judg
ment, and did much to develop and place
upon a sound footing the iron interests of
the State. Ry the death of ex-Governor
Porter the commonwealth loses a devoted
citizen, and his friends and family a com
panion and protector, who was endeared to
hem by mauy estimable traits of character.
Age.
In Dinwiddle County, Va., there
have been 93 wuites and 295 negroes reg
istered. Glorious country !—Equal rights !
—Boston Post.
DinwidJie is only a sample. All over the
South under the military despotism, white
men are disfranchised,and ignorant planta
tion negroes are registered, at the rate of
about two negroes to one white man. The
object of the malicious Radicals is to mako
a uegro country of the South—to turn it
into a Jamaica or Ilayti ; and by mon
strous a.id wicked usurpation of power,tiiey
arc doing it.

Stanton's Dismissal and Response. i
The following is in full the correspon- ;
dcnce between the President and the
"Skeleton" Secretary:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 5, 1867—SIR: Public considerations
of a high character constrain me to say
that your resignation, as Secretary of War
will be accepted. Very respectfully,
ANDREW JOHNSON.
To the lion. Edwin M. Stanton, Secre
tary of War.
To which Stanton replied as follows :
WAR DEPARTMENT, Aug. S,IBG7— SIR:
Your note of this date has been received,
stating that public considerations of a high
character constrain you to say that my res
ignation as Secretary of War will be ac
cepted.
In reply I have the honor to say that
public considerations of a high character,
which alone have induced me to continue
as the head of this department, constrain
me not to resignation the office of Secre
tary of War before the next meeting of
Congress, Very respectfully yours,
S EDWIN W. STANTON.
To the President.
Stanton kept away from the office until
the 7th instant, when, accompanied by a
large number of disunion Radical sympa
thizers be went to the office and held a
"levee" all day.

S > STANTON SUSPENDED.
Secretary Stanton on Monday last re
ceived fiom the President an order for his
suspension. At the same hour Gen Grant
was directed to assume the duties of the
office ad interim, Stanton died hard, and
submitted under protest as he said to supe
rior force. Holt it is thought will have to
walk the plank. It is rumored that Secre
tary Seward who differs with the President
in some matters, will resign.
If the President had possessed half the
firmness of the old Andrew J. from Tennesee
he would long before this, havo had most
