authority has just been given for the publica-

Testimony of Sanford Conover.
Sanford Conover ter titled that he had resid-
ed in Canada since October last; was con-
seripted into the Confederate army to serve
in the War Department at Richmond under
John A. Seldom; in Canada was intimate with
Gen. Lander, Jacob Thompson, DR.. Blackburn,
O.. Q. Clay, Mr.. Cameron. Porter. Field, Capt.

OF Tenn; knew Mr.. Surratt and ]. w. Booth
and visited these gentlemen in Canada; saw
Surratt there on several occasions last April
in Jacob Thompson's room; also in company
with q. N. Saunders and other rebels in Can
ada.
/ saw him about the 9th or 7th of April,
with Thompson, Sanders and Booth; at that
time he delivered to Booth in my presence,
dispatches from Richmond to them, from
Benjamin and from JEFF Davis, the latter
either dispatch or letter; previous to this
Thompson eonversed with me, when the sub

enterprise. When Surratt delivered these dis
patches from Davis, Thompson laid his hand
upon the papers and said, referring to the

last as to the President's assassination; also in
february think, certainly before the Alb OF
March; Surratt delivered dispatches 10
Thompson's room four or five days before the
assassination; the whole conversation showed
that Surratt was one Of the conspirators to

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1865-12-20

We are plrased 10 observe that a resola ton
has been adopted BY the United States House
OF Representatives, instrnctInR the Committee
on Commerce TO inquire what legislation, If
any, is necessary for tho safety and protection
"of persons travelling upon railroads in the
"United States, and to report by bill or other
g wise.' The occurrence Of railway accidents
i'll all parts OF the country shows that railway
Mismanagement Is national evil of ihcreasi
magnitude. 1t Is very desirable, therefore,
that national remedy should, If possible, be
applied. Some years ago the prevalence of
steamboat accidents, especially on the Western
waters, rendered 1t advisable for every man TO
make his will before embarking IN what had
become little better than Internal machines
The slaughter of one of these steamboat ex
plosions, or collisions, was nearly equal to that
of a battle. Public indignation was greatly
excited by each fresh repetition of these afro
cities, and various methods of safety were sug-
gested, but none proved effectual till Congress
took the matter in hand The success Of the
measures adopted in regard to steamboats, in
ereases the probabilities that additional safe
guards may be thrown around railway passen-
gers by appropriate legislation now.
