BAD NEWS FOR THE ABoLITIoNIsTs.- -
y dispatch from Richmond to the New
York Herald, states that it has been aeci-
dcd on by the Virginia authorities to hand
over Cook-John Browns lcutenant-to
be tried by the Federal Court in the Har-
pcr's Ferry district. The object of this is
to have Seward, Greedy, Sanborn, Wilson,
Hale, Forbes, Gcrrit Smith, and all others
who were implicated in the conspiracy, or
who are known to have been in the secrets
of the conspirators, subpnnaed as witnesses
and placed on the stand to tell all they know
in the matter. They are outside the iuris-
! diction of the Virginia State Courts, but
not of the Federal Courts.

in any other mode, but leave that to their
own hands, not doubling their entire ahili
ty to do it far more ably and satisfactorily
than could. So far as relates to myself
| can only reply by denying every word
and syllable, and pronouncing the whole,
from beginning to end, in general and in
detail, false, and challenging the world for
a aparticle of testimony, written or verbal
sustaining one of the charges thus
! recklessly brought against INC, or for sin
gle circumstance calculated to cast suspi-
cion upon me in an uuprejudiccd mind.
