anticipate the coining ot your paper, and
it has grown to be our weekly pleasure,
ai well as toil, to cull, clip and write,

Our hopes and anticipations, c eriehed
from the outset, have been realized to
1 aa extent that makes the retrospect a
happy one. We look back with pleas

campaign of 'HQ. It gives us joy to
think we held the helm during so nota

THE SURRATT TRIAL.
The counsel for the Government in
the Surratt case are on hand and ready
for the commencement of the trial on
Monday last. Ex-Congressman Riddle,
of Ohio, has completed, in connection
with the Assistant District Attorney, the
Prli,ninr',e, ct lho evidence. The 1e.
iense are also ready, and the only delay
will be in obtaining a jury, which it is
thought will take several days. There
are tour attorneys for the Government
and two tor the defense. The former
are confident of conviction, and will pre
sent evidence for the prosecution far
more important than that produced on
the military trial ot the conspirators, and
which will, it is believed, clear up the
hidden details ot the assassination plot.

Shooting Akfaik. An accidental
shooting affair occurred on lat Thurs
day in the borough of Washington, re
sulting in the death of a colored man
named James Bryan, , It appears that
Bryan and another colored man named
Samuel Adams, both residents ot Wash
ington, went out on a gunning expedi
tion, and when near the Cemetery, out
side the borough, Adams discharged the
gun, accidentally shooting Bryan. The
ball took effect in Biyan'a body, near the
heart. He was taken to his home, and
physicians summoned but no hopes ot
bis reoovery were entertained, After
the shooting, Adams delivered himself
up, and is now in custody. The shoot
ing occurred between one and two o'clock
in the afternoon. The injured man has
since died.

THE OPINION OF TIIE ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL. The opinion of the Attorney-General
upon tho clauses in the Reconstruction
Acts respecting the rights to vote and to
hold office, lias in itself evidence of its
necessity, for the questions whiuh have
arisen need to be deoider) by the highest
executive authority. Else, says the N.
Y. Tribune, five military commanders
might make five different interpretations
of a law which needs to be uniformly
enforced in the States in which it is op
erative.' Whtlher Mr. Stansbery cor
reotly defines the limits ot the law is an
other and important question, not fully
to be examined at present.
Tho Attorney General recits the pro
visions of tho law which affect the right
to vote and hold office, and attempts to
define those classes who are entitled to
registration ; tho qualifications of resi
dence and age are comparatively unim
portant. Of chief interest Is the extent
to which, taking part in the rebellion is a
disqualification from voting Mr. Stans
bery elaborately examines tho meaning
ot the act which excludes officers who
have taken part in the rebellion, and de
cides that oncers (it the militia are not
included t that the ast does not apply to
municipal officers, and that with all thoso
who are not strictly State, Judicial or
Executive officers, the uncertain defini
tion, which he contends exists in the law
must be construed in favor of the voter.
A vast body of officers, he asserts, are
not positively excluded bv the law. The
disqualification based on the breaking of
the oatti ot omce is the next a'll.jeot ot
the opinion which ia given to this effect
that the disqualification is intended to
comprehend military as well as civil
officers, and to be more g neral in ap
plication to United Slates officer than
to those of a Stale. Of more practical
importance is the next question what
acts constitute the guilt of ei.gaging in
rebellion, or of giving cotntort or aid to
the enemies ot the United States T A
these acts are defined the number of
voters is to be restricted or enlarged
Mr. Stansbery advances the extraordi
nary Opiuion, that the phrase 'enemies of
the United States' should be confined
to what he asserts to bo its legal mean
ing, viz , foreign nations, and that only
such of those who gave aid and comfort
to Great Britain in 1812, and to Mexico
in 1817, should be distianchised under
the clause. Yet he is 'not quite prepar
ed to say that Congress wuy not have
used it as applicable to the rebellion ' It
is woll that he was not quite prepared to
make such a decUion, for if there is any
thing clear and unmistakable in the law,
it is that Congresa meant absolutely the
enemies ot the United States who fought
at Uettysburg and Atlanta, and not by
any means those who were defeated forty
years ago on the Lakes, or at Monterey
and Buena Vista. This meaning cannot
be escaped, and the Attorney General,
therefore, gives it weight. He would
not include in the disfranchised classes
those who were compelled to aid io Re
bellion, conscripts, salves, and officers
who, n obedience to at facto govern
ment, were concerned wilh the odmiuis
tration of law. Purely civil and neces
sary officers he cannot bring himxelf to
believe w ere meant by Congress, and
upon this point the argument is very
full. We cannot say that the Attorney
General has muted his opinion very em
phatically, or tersely, though for this he
may plead the alleged uncertainty and
vagueness of the acts themselves. Uut
lho drift of his argument may bo sum
med up to he io his own words s
'The intent (ot the acts) as expressed, is
to enable the' people of each of thesu
States to frame a Constitution tor tho
State by the exercise of the right of
suffrage. There are clauses ot the aot
giving the right by general terms ot de
scription to the people generally, and
expecially to those who bave never en
joyed the right before.
There are other clauses of the act
which, by general terms, take away this
riuht of suffrage from those who always
enjoyed it. The rule of construction a--to
the clauses which givo the light must
be liberal, and to them the general terniB
are tint to bo restricted, but to those
clauses which derogate from the existing
right the rule ot construction amst be
strict, that none should be excluded who
are not clearly within the letter and in
tent ' With this general const root ion
we are satisfied, but not with the special
opinion based upon it

Weotlcy Frost and Thomas B. Searight
appointed delegates to the State Con
vention of 1868, it being usual with the
Democracy of that county to appoint
their delegates a yesr ahead, so that the
voters cannot instruct. The conven
tion, however, remembered Senator
Searight's betrayal of bis constituents in
voting against the I ree Uailrosd Law in
the Senato last Winter, and wisely con
eluded to withhold further honors from
him. The motion was amendid by
substituting the names of 0. E. Boyle
and Joseph i. McCnrmick, who were

vention of 1 808, Mr. Boyle was a mem
ber of tho lower House last Winter, and

Th's action of the convention is a severo
rebuke to Suuator Searight, who has

THE LENNOX TRIAL INTERESTING
SCENE IN COURT.
A tew d.iya tdnce, in the Washington
county Court, Judge Achenon called the
attention ot lion. W'm. Montgomery to
the tail that the jury which had tried
the case of John Lennox, had handed to
the Court a paper in relation to emne
remarks ho had chosen to make about
trieiu when Lennox was arraigned for
sentence, and stated that as the paper
contained matters which were wholly
personal to him he would hand it to him
without reading, in order th.u he might
make such re-ponse as he thought pro -par.
Mr. Montgomery said that H con
tained nothing lie was afraid ot. or was
not ready to answer, and a-ked the
Judga to read it The paper set forth
that tho j"ry felt themselves greatly
wronged by the infamous slanderous
charge of perjury which had been made
upon tliem in open Court by Mr. Mont
gomery, and appealed to tho Court to
vindicate them from the ohargo, and
require Mr. Montgomery to m ike amends
by retracting the game, ihis oourse,
they said, was duo not only to them.
reives, but to the " protection of future
juries who could not teel safe from the
attacks ot Mr Montgomery so long as
tie stood unrebukeu tor his conduct.
Ou hearing this paper rend, Mr. Mont
gomery at once rose and stated that he
had mado no such charge against the
jury that he had ' only said he feared
the verdict was the result ot a com
promisethat iit was, the jurors were
guilty ot moral penury,.: lie did not say
,that the jury had compromised away
their convictions ot right, but ' if they
did, they had proven unfuithful to their
oaths. lie went on at considerable
length to show that in a civil case, where
only a matter of dollars and cents was
in question, jurors might compromise,
but it was otherwise where the guilt of
a party accused ot orune was iuvolved.
Judge Acbeson remarked that ihe
Court felt at the time that the reflections
oast upon the jury were altogether un
warranted, and be had accordingly inter
pose and stopped Mr Montgomery as
soon as soon as he could. Making all
uue allowance tor the zeal and earuent
nens of counsel, he must say that such
imputations as Mr. Montgomery bad
indulged in were not justified by the
tacts, tor he had never known a jury
that he thought had labored more lion
estly, faithfully and conscientiously to
discharge their duty than the one that
tried this o.iso. As Mr. Montgomery,
nowever, nad mado bis response du
claiming any intention to charge the
jurois with perjury, be hopod the matter
would end nero.
