The Assassination Trial.

Some very important testimony taken
in Secret Session before the Court Mar
tial in Washington, has been made
public.
Messrs Sanford Conover, a newspaper
correspondent; James B. Merritt a ply
stefan, and Richardson Montgomery,
government detective all of whom were
on intimate terms with the rebel agents
in Canada, and feigned to act in com
plicity with them for the purpose of
learning their secrets, testified to cir
cumstances and events indicating the
complete connection with the assassin
alton plot Of Jacob Thompson, Clement
C. Clay, George Sanders, Beverly Tuck
er and the various rebel agents across
the northern border. Sanders, Thomp-
son and Clay were frequently seen in
intercourse with Booth. Thompson
appeared to be the general manager of
the rebel schemes, and furnished the
funds. John II. Surratt was messen-
ger between Richmond and the rebel
agents in Canada. On one of his trips
from Montreal to Richmond he brought
dispatches from JEFF. Davis and Judah P.
Benjamin, the rebel Secretary OF State,
approving the assassination conspiracy,
which was concocted by the agents in
Canada, and in the execution of which,
Dooth, who was known as "Pet," was
appointed to be the chief actor. The
scheme comprised the murder of Presi-
dent Lincoln, Vice President Johnson,
General Grant and oil UlI0 IueIuueIS of
the Cabinet, and it was as freely talked
about as the weather in the Canadian
rebel circle for months before its attempt
ed accomplishment. ..sl
These witnesses also testify to confer
ence of these rebel conspirators in Can
ada on schemes for Burning N. Y. city,
destroying the Croton dam and poison
ing the Croton water. 1t is stated that
DR.. Blackburn actually prepared an es-
innate Of what it would cost to procnre
sufficient poison to carry out this latter
design. All these plots were under
stood to have the sanction of JEFF. Davis
and his Cabinet; there was plenty Of
money to carry them out, and Booth
and the other executioners of the plan
were to have rebel commissions.

ton according TO his list, TO raise S75,-
900 in the event OF the location of the
College here, and should do this with
the full conviction that the money would
all come back into our pockets with
more than legal interest,
To such of US as have boys To edu-
cate, this appeal comes with peculiar
force. How much shall we save by edu-
eating our children at home? How
much shall we decrease the risk of their
being lost to us, to themselves, and the
world, by enabling them to complete
their education surrounded by the inhu-
ences of their own homes
For miles around us, the young men
will be within riding distance Of the
Institution and the highest attainment
in science, the arts, and all that goes to
make thorough education and disci-
pline for life, is at once placed within
their reach. Every father who has three
sons to educate, If he has not the means
at hand, had better borrow 1000 dollars
and pay 1t for the establishment of the
College here and thereby secure a free
scholarship for his children.

material advantages that would accrue
to Rutland by fixing the location of the
College here. am not unmindful of it's
moral, social and intellectual advant-
ages. These will occur to all of you
and need not be mentioned by me. In all
| time their effect on the condition of So
ciety will be incalculable.
The opportunity now occurs, and will
never occur again, to do more for the
| business enterprise of our town and
more for its elevation in the scale OF
| moral and intellectual position than we
have done heretofore. Shall we allow
this rich opportunity to pass unim-
proved ? l confidently appeal to every
interest represented in our town to come
up to this work. A half dozen of our
citizens of wealth could easily sub
scribe the sum which would secure this
location for the College. But this is
emphatically COLLEGE FOR THE WHOLE
PEOPLE. 1t belongs to them, and will
receive the patronage and fostering care
of the whole State.
While all should feel an interest in its
establishment on an enduring basis, and
should therefore freely lend to it their
means and influence, those varied inter
est which are peculiarly the wealth of
our town should not neglect this oppor-
tunity to elevate their professions and
pursuits, by rearing among us the endur-
ing walls Of an Institution, which will
forever be a monument of their wisdom
and liberality. S. NJ. DoRR,

Major General Steele has been ordered to
take command of an army Of obserya-

Bring ont The IoOo-pOunder!

What was the matter with ourneigh-
Dor Of the negro organ last week" Why
didn't he parade the picture of that
wonderful specimen of spontaneous
combustion, the 1000-pounder cannon"
Why didn't he come out in large job
type, in haring capitals? Didn'thekno
that there had been another great Black
Republican victory? that his ideals Of
perfect men, the negroes of jamaica,
100000 strong, had risen up against
the whites, some 10,000in number, and
massacred a great many Of them? lfso,
why didn't he rejoice?
It's likely that he postponed his re-
ioicing until this week, hoping, that
more of the good news would come in.
If 80, he viii be wofully disappointed.
For 10, the tidiugs come that the REBEL
ion of the BOG, 900 brave, intelligent, hu-
name darkies of Jamaica has been sum
marily and ignominiously suppressed
| BY few hundreds Of white men, and
thconce negro-worshipping British Off
ciaIs are hanging the niggers at the rate

Alas! for rthenegro organ, and alas! for
/ its idol, for the niger has acted upon
! the "idea" which the abolition press
and speakers have for ryears endeavored
to pound into his thick head, viz: the
exterminatiOn of the white race, and the
experiment has ended in miserable
fzzle. Wherew was negro chivalry, when
whites were nassacred by three hun
dred times their own number?
Let the jamaica insurrectiOn teach
the Abolitionists the lesson they must
learn ere long, viz: that the negro Is in
ferior to the white man in everything
but that which Is purely animal, and
that he is not to be trusted either a. 4

The Fenians have recently purchased
or leased, the residence owned by the
celebrated patent medicine man, Mof-
fat, in 18th street, New York, for the
"headquarters" the Irish republic"
1t is fiVe-st0ry brown house, Ornamen-
ted, inside and out, i'll 4 most elaborate
manner. Frescoes, carvings, paintings,
shields, coat-of-arms, rosewood, ebony
and black walnut, stainedwindows and
costly doors abound.
On the first floor the Financial opera
tions" are carried on, where moneys are
received, bonds issued, and the treasury
department of the republic conducted.
On the same floor is the reception room
and the 'library,n with maps made
from the last Fenian survey Of Ireland,
and, for aught we know, the lives OF
st. Patrick, Smith O'Brieu, and Colonel
O'AIahoney. The president has his Of

floor. Another suite is allotted to the

alton and a secretary Of matters civil
are also to operate on this floor. The
hall, offices, and committee rooms Of the
Brotherhood senate occupy the third
floor. Here, probably, the uneasy cons
cienccs Of our Canada neighbor-, who
are rcaping thistIe7 from the figs they
planted at st. Adams, imagine are plan
ned and projected those fearful raids
which keep the youthful Kanucks in
arms all night, and make ''pursy" bank
directors curse Coursol and his decisions.
Whether they be right or not, we have
no means Of knowing, but it requires
neither clear conscience nor a very
clear head to conclude that however
much the old women, of both sexes in
Canada, may suffer, the Irish republic''
will probably flourish in spite ofthem.

p. FRAZER SMITH, Esq, of West
Chester, was of counsel for the Com
m0nWealth in the Grouse homicide
case, having been retained as such by
Mr.. Cessna, who, it seems, assumed the
management of the case on the part of
the prosecution. We know Mr.. Smith
well, having had the good lor ILL for
tune to serve some five months with
him in the Legislature Although a
political opponent, we generally found
him courteous in his opposition and a
gentleman in every respect. We are
only sorry that he should have per-
mitted the demagOgue Cessna to lug
him into this case for the purpose Of
shielding himself from the odium of
a defeat which he knew to be inevita-
bic. Mr.. Smith is too good. a lawyer
to have risked his reputation as a cats
paw in the hands of John Cessna. Ac-
cording to the statement Of the latter
he had dinvited abOuta dozen of lawyers
to take the position Mr.. Smith was pre-
vailed upon to assume, before he adj
/ dressed himself to that gentleman.
! Among that number was Thaddeus
/ Stevens, who declined because he pre-
ferred toremain within the line Of pro-
fessionaI honor and to follow the good
old rule of the true barrister, Herer 10
tdke 6iOOd-mOney. We doubt not that
Mr.. Smith was deceived in regard to
the nature Of the case, for Cessna had
his own tale about it, and boasted on
the cars that the attorneys for the de-
fence did not comprehend it. But
whateverinducementso operated to bring
Mr.. Smith into the case, we are bound
to say that in the trial and during his
stay in our midst, he depOrted himself
in all respects, like gentleman.

Time sets all things even. The un-
parallelled mendacity Of the Bedford
Inquirer in regard to the Grouse hOmi-
eide, has at lastreceivedafi afitting rebuke,
nay, has been JrGlded By q Slcorn jury
of the best men Mthe county, as q libel
G0lS faLsehO0d. Time after time that
sheet published in glaring letters, this
charge: "THe Bedford Gazette murder
ed Jacob Grouse ?" Time after time
this base lie was made the ground of
an appeal to the credulous, against the
GAZETTE and the Democratic party.
Now, people can see how they were
duped. II ,cas prOred on the trial Of
j. p. Reed, dr., By eLeCca lritJaeSseS, and
the jury so c!ecMed, that Grouse WAS
NOT MURDERED ATALL, bit teoS
slot tchiL>t in the dctQf trying to kiU Reed
Afth a stone. 1t was proved by these
eleven witnesses that Grouse attacked
Reed and injured him severely whilst
he was retreating from Grouse. The
writers for the inquirer knew this all
the while, yet they persisted in saying
that Grouse was shot because he was a
sort Of provOst-marshal, the BEDFORD
GAZETTE having declared that any per-
son accepting that office ''could not live
a peaceful life, nor die an honorable
| death" Now, eleven witnesses hav-
ing sworn in open court, that Grouse
attacked Reed land therefore courted
DEATH and a jury under solemn oath
having found that Grouse was not
murdered, lneither because he was pro-
vost-marshal, nor because Of the lam
guage of the GAZETTE applied to pro-
vost-marshals generally but was killed
/ by Mr.. Reed, in self-defence, therefore,
the Bedford Inquirer has been virtual
Iy convicted of libeli in saying 'that the
BEDFORD GAZETTE murdered Jacob
Grouse" Yet, more. The Inquirer
| published an account of the killing of
Grouse, which clearly conveyed the idea
that John p. Reed, Jr., was guilty of
murder. 1t declared repeatedly that
Grouse was shot because he was pro-
vOst-marshal, thus attributing malice
to Reed, and plainly charging him with
murder in the first degree. 1t assailed
young Reeds character in the most
