The Assassination Trial.

On Saturday the Military Commission
conducting the trial of the assassination
conspirators opened doors to reporters,
and reports of the trial are now being
published in the daily papers. A cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune
gives pen and ink sketch of the pris-
oners, which We have read with much
interest.
| DIR. Mudd, who set Booths leg, is a
medium-sized, intelligent-looking man,
and appears quite composed. The de-
velopment of facts is getting him into a
very unpleasant situation.
Harold is little fellow, nineteen or
twenty years old, presenting anything
but ferocious look. He it was, it will
be remembered, who surrendered at the
barn where Booth was shot.
Paine, who attempted the work at
! Stewards house, shows his character
Enthusiastically in his face. He is fully
six feet high very carelessly and shah
billy dressed, and wears bold, defiant
| look.
Spangler, the carpenter at Ford's,
! who is thought to have assisted Booth
in his escape from the theater, seems to
have been rendered almost idiotie by
the situation in which he is placed. He
is a short, heavy-set man, bearing indi-
cations of being hard drinker.
O'Laughlin, another suspected ac-
complete, is a small man, with tolera-
bly, intelligent countenance.
Atzerott, who was to assassinate Pres
ident Johnson, is q small man, dull.
| looking, and seems quite unconcerned.
Arnold ia a.young man, quite intelli.
gent looking and of respectable appear.
ance. He hardly looks like a wretch.
Mrs. Surratt is about fifty years old,
coarse-looking but of rather intelligent
countenance. There Is strong evidence
against her, and she appears much de-
pressed.
All the prisoners, except DR.. Mudd,
are heavily ironed, having the feet and
ankles ironed, and to each leg attached
chain about six feet long, to which is
appended ball weighing fifty pounds.
DIR. Mudd has q small chain around his
wrists and another about his ankles.
1t is said that all the prisoners have
been warned by their counsel to aban-
don all hope. The evidence is telling
against them fearfully. Pity that all
of the conspirators were not as sure OF
righteous dealing as are these now on
trial at Washington.

Correspondence Of the Cedar Falls Gazette.
Grunly COunty.'


This county is receiving large share
of attention this season, from those that
arc looking for prairie homes. Already
a large emigration has settled within
the limits of our county this spring,
and we hear of more coming. We can
but honor their choice in selecting
homes in Grundy, as we believe no bet
ter county of land is to be found in this
or any other State. We have as many,
and as large stock farms, as are to he
found in this section of the state, and
notwithstanding the high prices Of lum-
Der, building and fencing are going on
rapidly. A large breadth of small grain
has been sown, in spite Of the declining
prices, and SO cold and backward a
spring. A very large area of breaking
is under contract. Enterprise and
thrift are characteristics of those who
dwell in so good county. We have
room for few more good farmers for
a few more substantial stock growers,
and mechanics. No room for the idle
and dissolute, nor the copperhcad, as
they do not thrive on our soil. They
are not indigenous, believe, and thank
God for it. More anon.

Standardization received his
sentence last Saturday at Waverly-siX
years in penitentiary.
Let US see. Rorabacher robbed the
safe of the Buchanan county Treasurer
of twenty-six thousand dollars. Not a
cent OF that money has been recovered,
and probably never will be. Thus he
stays in the penitentiary at a salary OF
over four thousand year. He knows
oct he will probably enjoy it.
AS for Knight, one of Rorabacher's
partners in the robbery, who received
his sentence of six years a few weeks
since, he is ex pected to die of eonsump-

A DARING OUTRAGE AND SUDDEN
PUNEsHMENT.-On Saturday, Goth ult.,
six men took passage in one of the Wes-
tern Stage Co. IS coaches, in the south
part of the State, and proceeded to with
in about nine miles of Centerville, APP
panoose county, when they drew their
revolvers, stopped the stage and robbed
the mail. They then robbed wagon
that came up and another stage that
came from the other direction. They
then selected six horses from the teams
and left, bidding the victims of their out
RACES" goodevening." They robbed some
farmers of saddles and a drOver of 5000
and attempted to escape. The whole
surrounding country rose in arms and
pursued them. They were compelled
to abandon their horses and take to the
brush, where they were surrounded,
captured and shot, their carcasscs being
left to the vultures or wild beasts.
That may he called a summary process
but it is the Iowa mode of dealing with
such villains.-Io,ca city RcpubticGn.

THE DISTiIYERY FRAUDS AT LYONS

THE DIsTiLLERY FRAUDS AT LYONS.
We have already announced the seiz-
ure, by Mr.. Prcsbury, Government de-
tective, of the distillery belonging to
w. Ii. Buchanan, at Lyons, Iowa, and
also one belonging to James Neill OF
Camanche, same State. Investigations
have developed the fact that there is a
deficit in the returns of the former dis
tillery from January, 1868, to May, 1865,
of $l33, 563. SO, and in the Camanche con-
Germ of $l2, 50i.73. But about the worst
feature of these swindling transactions
is the apparent fact that Henry l..
Gates, Inspector and Deputy Collector
at Lyons, participated in these frauds
and Mr.. Presbury has caused his arrest.
Buchanan claims that he has paid Gates
money to allow him to ship highwine,
unreported, and Neill asserts that he
paid Gates 81 400 for the same purpose,
and that Gates attempted to eXtOrt from
him 81 900 for the same purpose. Gates
is held in 1000 to answer. These facts
are gathered from the Lyons Mirror.
