EASTERN DISPATCHES.
From the Sacramento Union Of Yesterday.
The Trial of the Annaaaina,

The Trial Of the ASSassins,
Harold was arraigned Yesterday. Con-
siderable testimony was taken in the case,
and gratifying progress made. Testimony
has been, or will be offered, showing that
Harold went to Canada and Commissioners
conferred with the rebel commissioners about
the assassination Of Lincoln since Booths
return from there. Mrs. Suratt, who seems
to have been one Of the chief instigators and
participants, is kept closely guarded, but is
very defiant and unrelenting. Her daughters
don't seem to have been implicated. They
will be retained and called ~ witnesses. One
Of them 10 very sick, and is reported to have
poisoned herself. 1t is positively known that
Suratt Is in Canada, and there 10 little doubt
but that he will soon be taken. The COM
mission sits with closed doors, but it is be-
lievcd the Secretary Of War will publish an
abstract Of the trials after the manner Of his
war reports.

operation the suspended functions Of the
National Government i'll the State OF Vir-
GINA was substantially agreed upon at the
last Cabinet meeting held by President Lin
coin on the day Of his death, and at which
General Grant was present. The great fea-
lures are that the State Of Virginia was not
recognized as having ever gone out OF the
Union; that the functions Of the United
States Government were simply suspended
within the State and are now put in operation
again that no vestiges Of the Confederate or
rebel State Government are recognised and
that Governor Pierpont and the loyal Legis.
lature Of Virginia are made the nucleus Of
the reorganized State Government.
