THE TRIAL.-The written argument Of
the counsel for four Of the persons
charged with implication in the assas-
sination Of President Lincoln were read
before the Washington court martial on
Monday.
The argument of Hon. Reverdy John
son, counsel for Mrs Surratt, was con-
fined almost exclusively to an effort to
show that military court could have
no jurisdiction in such cases, but that
the accused could only be legiti-
mately tried in the civil courts. He
announced that it was not his pur'
pose to make any leview of the evidence
but stated that it was unreasonable to
suppose that woman Of Mrs. Surratt' 8
character could have b. en- engaged in so
wicked a plot, and intimated that the
testimony of the principal witnesses
against her indicated that they were
much more likely to have been cognizant
of the conspiracy than she was.
Mr. Stone, the counsel for Harold,
while admitting that his client had aid
ed in the escape Of Booth, cOntended
that there was nothing in the evidence
to show that he was in any way en-
gagged in the assassination.
For the prisoners Arnold and o Laugh
lin, Mr.. Cox, their counsel, maintained
that they were not in any way engaged
in the conspiracy, and demanded their
acquittal.

oHIo PoLITIos.-Gov. Broagh, in a
communication to the Ohio State Jour
nal, peremtorily declines being a can
didate for reelection. The Ohio State
Journal saye,
"Returns from the counties in which
delegates have been chosen, show that
more than msjority of the members Of
the nominating convention are in favor
of the denomination of Gov. Brough,
he, therefore is fully justified in his es-
preston OF qualification that he "can
honorably retire"
Public interest in the larger portion of
our State will now center upon a tried
son OF Ohio, who holds high place In
the army Of the nation.
A cultivated gentleman-an instruct
sd lawyer--an experienced legislator
successful soldier, Maj Gen. Joseph
Dolson Cox Is presented to the Union
Convention as the embodiment of the
qualities essential to marked usefulness
and benign influence in the office of
Chief Executive in the third State of
the Union
Gen. j. B. Steadman having perempto-
rily Withdrawn from the list of candi-
dates, the army delegates may be expect
ed to be unanimous for Gen, Cox, and it
is therefore reasonable to suppose that
the probabilities very clearly indicate
that the commander of the 23d army
corps will be the next Governor of
Ohio.

THE EXAMINATION AT WEST PoNT.-
The examination of the lower classes at
West Point will be continued through
the present week, though the gradual
ing class have received their diplomas
and are relieved from further student
duty. This class numbers 50, the larg-
est that ever graduated from the acad-
envy. The five students of the highest
standing in the class, whose names are
reported to the secretary of war and en-
rolled in the regular army register, are
Charles W, Raymond, Brooklyn, N. Y;
Lewis c. Overman, at large A. NJ. Mil
Ter, at large; M. R. Brown, Massa chu-
sets and NJ. B. Brown, Ohio.
There are now about thirty cadets in
the academy who were appointed from
the army to fill vacancies from the
southern states. Considerable care was
exercised in their selection most Of
them having held officers commissions
in the army for two years or more, but
many of those first appointed have been
unable to keep up with their classes and
left. Of six cadets thus appointed by
Gen. Grant, only two now remain in the
academy. The events of the last four
years have sufficiently demonstrated the
value of q West Point military educa-
ton, and it is due to the country that
no pains be spared to make the academy
as useful and efficient as possible. There
ought to be, as has been introduced in
some instances, competitive preliminary
examinations for admission, and only
those who manifestly have brains and
capacity for the course ought to be al
lowed to enter. Every Ounce who man.
ages to get into the academy by politi-
cal influence or favoritism, no sooner
finds himself there than he wishes him
self well away from the strictness of the
course. The best and safest way is to
keep such fellows out altogether.

Local and state Items.

THR Charlottesville various com.
mlttees who have the matters in charge
seem to be disposed, in the language of
Grant and Sheridan, to "push things. {"
The money subscription increases every
day, and the merits of fat oxen and
creased pigs are discussed. We heard
man say he had pig whose nose was
as long as that and the more he fed
Rim' the more he didn't grow fat; he
jumped overa fence as high as his head
and he chased him by moonlight till he
squeezed through she'd No doubt is
felt III reference to the practicability of
obtaining fat OK, lean pig, an empty
sack and slippery pole.

THB RoxBURY TRAsEDY.-The Boston
papers continue to be filled with &C
counts of the murder of which we gave
an account in yesterdays HERALD.
Twenty-seven different wounds were in
ficted upon the young girl, probably
with dirk knife, and eight upon the
boy, apparently with the same instru-
ment. Rewards have been offered by
different parties in Roxbury and Boston
amounting in all to $500 for the appre-
hension of the villain. 1t is probable
that these will be increased by subscrip-
scription, as there is disposition to
spare no pains or expense to discover
the foul perpotrator. A man by the
name of Thomas Halsey, q painter, who
had some acquaintance with the family
O. the deceased, has been arrested on
sispicion. He fails to give straight
forward and satisfactory account of his
whereabouts on the day that the crime

GOLD GAMBLING IN NEW YoRK.-The
gold gamblers in New York have had an
exciting time the past week. 1t is the
custom for the crowd witch attends the
meeting of the Evening Board to ad
journ to the bar room of the Fifth Az
enue Hotel, where large amounts Of
gold are often bought and sold. On
Thursday evening there was an exciting
contest there between two prominent
men representing the "BuIl" and "Bear"
interest. The gentleman representing
the "Bull" interest was bidding for i'm
mense amounts of gold at l46, "when
(the Express says the tallest broker on
the street, vulgarly called the American
Deer sold him one lot of 100000 at
this price Nothing daunted, the Erie
man bid for another million and got it /;
then four more lots OF one million each. "
At this point the Bull "hauled in his
horns" and gave up the contest,
