Payne. The man now on trial for the
attempted assassination of the Se wards,
attracts a good deal of attention by the
lookers on in the court from the mystery
that surrounds his character and Ids pen
em! demeanor. The New York IIVW
cf the olst thus sneaks of him.
"The prisoner Payne to-day, for th
first time almost, appeared to belong to
our common humanity. His bearing has
been throughout most remarkable. He
nearly always sits bolt upright, entirely
unmoved either by anything said or done
in the room, and never speaking to the
counsel : not bold and defiant, but com
posed, indifferent, and self-possessed.
Who is this man ? Has he any friends?
Where did he come from ? What is his
real name ? These questions have been
asked a thousand times, without avail.
To-day he actually asked that three wit
nesses might be called in his favor a
lady and a doctor living at Warrenton,
Virginia, and a minister of the gospel liv
ing in Florida. In the conversation that
ensued, his counsel also said he had sent
Payne's brother to bring the witnesses
from Warrenton. During this proceed
ing 1 ayne leaned forward in his scat,
"' lns " -dternately white and flush
cd, and drew a Iop breath cf relief when
it was announced that the witnesses would
be summoned."
From Correspondence of Cincinnati Gtn

President Jolm.en has not tasled
"spirituous cr malt liquor.-, fermented
wine or cider" (quote the terms of the old
Washingtonian temperance pledge,) since
the !th of Mat ch, a-:d docs not keep any
intoxicating drinks at his house. His
health is quite good, and he has already
acquired the n putation of disposing of
business wish rapidiiv. . -
Gentlemen who have no favors to ask
of the President, and who lve recently
met him, and talked with him, state vorv
earnestly the favorable impression that he
made upon them. They describe him a
dignified, reserved on questions f public
policy under discussion, deeply sensible of
the wreight weight and cxactins nitnre of
the responsibilities of his position : not
elated and made flippant byTus elevation,
but solemnized by it. The " surfa -e in
dications " are fill cnod, that lie wii d i
his work well, and be "clear in his hhdi
oince."
Apprehension? are f-it that lie wi'l in-.-it

not likely to be realized. Even .TofFD.ivis

probable that we have seen the h:.-i of

Many suppose that Governor Ilrown, of
Georgia, has been h irdly dealt with, and
the benevolent and forgiving think of the
Governor languishing In a loathsome dun
:eon. A penilenian who called ujxin the
Presi lent, in the evming. r few davs
was by him made ncpnnted with "Go
vernor llrown, of Georgia," io wps
going about the i(y in a hack without a
cruard, and had crd'edatthe White House.
Tlie restraint that he is under resembles
that placed upon Governor Ail.cn, of
South Carolina. It was probably a means
nf securing him a safeguard in visiting
Washington, where his possible utility, as
an instrument to be used in the "rent
, .
woi'K of reconstruction could be deter
mineii.
j t'ie impo-tant question of negro
, suffrage in the insurgent States I urn as
sured the President ha:? been anxiously
deliberating, and has made up his mind.
His conclusion is. tltathc ivill not insist vpon
giving ihe fivcclnuin the riiM to irJe, as ihe
indispensible condition of reconstruction,
and the restoration eff the Union f the
States that have engaged in the rebellion,
in " a Republican form of Government."
Tlie proclamation to carry nut and en
force the obligations of the I'nited States
to the people of North Carolina, is the
programme of reconslruction. -That pro
clamation recognizes as disqualified for
elections all who are not qualified.
" As prescribed by the Constitution and
Laws of the State of North Carolina, in
in fircc immediately before the 20th day
pi Mv.y A. D. 1SG1, the date, of the so
called ordinance of secession."
That excludes the negroes from tlie
polls in the election of members of the
Convention which is to be called. And
the proclamation goes on to say :
" And the said Convention, when con
vened, or the Legislature that may be
hereafter assembled, will prescribe the
qualifications of electors, and the eligibili
ty of persons to hold office under the
Constitution and Laws of the State a
power the people of the several States
composing the Federal Union have right
fully exercised from the origin of the
Government to the present time."
Ttis ground the President is determined
to hold at all Jiazirds. That it will 1k
promptly and bitterly disputed by the
"radical" wingc.f the Administration
rarty, 13 not a doubtful proposition.

Mr. Enrrou: The old proverb that
old things become new, was the other
day verified by us. On last Saturday
being Fomewhat tired of the bustle of
life and village gossip, in company with
an old friend, we took a rural saunter
through the woods and by roads in the
vicinity of the old deserted village of
Huclah, (by the by there is something
venerable and interesting in the word
old, although sometimes much despised,)
until we came to our old fishing place, a
murmcrinsr brook after pursuing its wind
ing course, and agreeably conversing
on the many events of days gone by, we
were suddenly surprised by the mechanic
al tick and pufiing sound of the steam
engine, at first we were disposed to im
agine ourselves under the influence of
Ether, or some other drug, but after sha
king the delusion from our brain and
rubbing our eyes, we discovered that we
were along side of our neighbor Capr.
Murray's old establishment. We how
ever ventured in the lower story, and in
conversation with one of the hands, we
were informed that they had just started
on their trial trip, but to us it appeared
as if everything had been in motion for a
number of years, there was no bustle, t.o
confusion, no noise except one small
steam leak which pave raiher an amusing
warning that it did not approve of its
confined situation, everything else seemed
to know its place and duty, the cog-wheels,
belts, shafts, jmmps and lhe power that
drove them, all acted in union and har
mony with each other and it was very
satiTactory to see this combination of
mechanism go off so smoothly at the start.
It :i!go reflects much credit on the gentle
manly and enterprising owners Messrs.
Do Lang and Dean, whose actions and
deportment have gained for them the re
spect and well wishes of those employed
under them.
We understand, the tanning department
is under the supervision of Mr. M Iliggins
from the neighlorhood of Ihiffalo, the

Conemaugh Horough, and the assistance
of yrr. V. Mdlcr and J. Murray Jr. . not
forgetting the blacksmith, Mr. Hctiiamin
Williamr, ai d if must be a gratification
to all these gentlemen to know that their
work ahhongh performed under many
difficulties, r fleets great credit and is
duly appreciated. To give a further de
tail of this establishment would make the
article too long so we will postpone a
further description to a future time.
We remain your? truly.

fsrEOI.U. T'lSPATCII TO TI!K VOIU.!. -
Washixgto-n, June 2.
The evidence in the conspiracy trial to
day was qv.Itc eialiorate, but not of start
ling i;ere-t. The court-room was
erow led to great excess, while the hea!
v.v.s so intense as to render it quite un
eoTnfortable. The evidence is nrawing
rapidly toward its end, but it will no' be
completed to-morrow It is believed the
trial v.iil certainly continue all next
work. Most of the witnesses who have
leen examined have lecn discharged from
imprisonment, and among them Miss
Anna Surratt, the daughter of Mrs. Sur
ratt, who was allowed to sit near her
mother during this afternoon, and con
verse with her through an officer. The
witness-Wek-hmnr, who boarded at Mrs.
Sm ratt's, is also out of prison.
The evidence opened to-day with a
reference to spangler. The lock found
bursied from the box door of the theater
after the President's assassination was
satisfactorily explained, it appearing that
it was forced off in the absence of a key
by one of the clerks of the National
Hotel, some weeks prior to April. The
witness who testified to this fact also sta
ted that P.ooth rented box No. 7 nbou'.
two weeks lefore the assassination.
itnessrs were produced who testified
'2 '10 witness Pitterspaugh repeated
different versions of what Spangler said
and did to him on the rtage a few moments
after the assassination ; but the result was
virtually to the effect that Spanglor struck
him in the face for saying it was P6oth
who was escaping, adding, as he dealt the
blow. " It might be Dooth or anybody
else." The evidence was not very favora
ble for Spnngler. The next interesting
feature of the evidence was tlie theory of
the defense, that Payne, the would-be
assassin of the Seward?, was insane.
Witnesses from P.altiraorc testified to his
singular conduct, in a boarding house
there, and Dr. Nichols, of the Govern
ment Insane Asylum, was on the stand
hree-fourths of an hour, giving evidence
an to tlie conduct of insane people. The
circumstances testified to did not seem to
have a very material bearing on Payne's
status. The evidence was followed by
the production of a letter written " April
G," near Cumberland, Md., and received
at the National Hotel, some time. during
May, directed to J. W. R The writer
of this Htcr shows clearly that lie had a.
knowledge of Booth's contemplated crime.

semes in the grand drama, the kt no!
of which has not y-t been played.
It was during the si ssjfii of CVn-u-s
a. I
the winter preceding th Charles'.ovt Con
vention, that a gray senator neer.nied th"
attention of the Sena: on the state t.i' the
ti:i!:on. His s j' inni: y ( f i,;;i:r, ,'. hi
siu:p!i'-i:y of style, ,;xtic:ne vi. w on
the subject of State riht. :!! proved th.
riuceiity c-f the speaker, an I recalled to
memory tne !gu:-e. oio :w s l.iinKi.ts
of tlie dead Calhou'i. The M-iee s enied
1:1. re like the emanation of a ..,-iiit than
the ult, r; -i con iciions .of the r.ian w !,o
w;i (h'-;:,ned to be tit- !-.'a.h r of ihe -r"-'t
relelho:i. A sort of awe spread over the
S -rrtie ihamber, and ;,ven Wade, and
Sumner, and Chandler li-t. s,ed with an
attention akin to respect. Anior.ir tfie
aud.Itory there was one who seemed more
than the rt absorb -d in the scene he-fore
him. The Senate adjourned, and Srantox.
hastened from the Senate chamber to one
of the great hotels of Washington, mid
asked to U r-hown to lhe room of the
venerable Governor Medai v, of Oliio.
Scarcely h.-nl he entered w'h.en, with a
voice full of passionate energy, he ex
claimed "Medarv, I have just heard
Davis, and, by ail the gods, he is the
greatest of living statesmen ! The South
is right, and Davis must be the nominee
of the Charleston Convention ; and to se
cure Uat end. yon must come at once to
War-hington and take charge of the gov
ernment organ."'
Governor Medary suggested that there
were certain reasons why such an arrange
ment might not be acceptable to Mr.
Iiuchanan, when Mr. Stanton replied :
I will look to that ; I will be responsi
ble for that ! I will go at once to the
White House, and in two hours from now
I will sec you again."
Medary waited, Stanton returned ; but
fir reasons unnecessary here to jnarrate,
the scheme failed. This was the opening
scene which preceded the rebellion, and
Edwin M. Stanton played the chief role
as the advocate of southern rights, and
the especial friend of Jefferson Davis,
Governor Medary sleeps in an honored
grave, but there arc vet three livin'' wit
pesses lo the truthfulness of this narrative.
One is a State prisoner wko lies in chains
at Fortress Monroe ; another is his jailor,
who declared the prisoners views to be
just, and who sought to place the man he
now holds in irons, in the Presidential
chair; the third and last is the venerated
James lluchanan. This i3 but a etray
scrap of history, but it is not unworthy
of being presented.
