CONFESSION OF THE ASSASSIN PAYNE
The following letter, which confirms the
report Of the confession ofthe assassin Payne,
was received in New York yesterday by Mr..
Clarence A. Seward:
WAsHINGToN, May I.
You will be glad to hear that. Payne, the
assassin, has fully confessed his crime and all
the details respecting it, and the difficulties he
encountered He confirms fully the story of
the coored lad who let him into the house,
and also Major Seward account. The details
which he gives are, for obvious reasons, not
made public at present; he says, however, that
all the plans Of that Friday night not being
carried out was the greatest failure that ever
was. He has not made any revelatlons, re-
specting his acoomplices. That will doubtless
follow. Yours ever truly.

A Sign.

BY gentleman from Iudiaospolis, we are
informed that 1t was reported that the Grand
Jury Of the United States District Court, in
session, at that place, had found bills of in
dictment against Dodd, John c. Walker,
Andrew Humphieys, of Greene county Jo--
seph Ristine, late State Auditor Bowes, Mil
ligan, Horsey, Wilson and Horace Heffmen
1t will be recollected that Humphreys was
discharged, and Bowles, Mlligan and Horsey,
were sentenced to Imprisonment for life, and
are now in the Ohio Penitentiary, We sup
pose all this means that doubts begin to Agi-
tate the loyal" mind ss to the validity of
OF these Military Commissions, organized to
convict" Legal men will have to decide,
whether this would be putting the same par
ties in jeopardy, twice, for their lives, by try
ing them second time for the same offense
As some of the indicted parties are in Canada
it may be a part of the present mission Of
Gen. Dix to that Government to have Dodd
Walker and Ristine delivered up for trial
We are pleased to see that the civil courts are
beginning to assert their supremacy over the
military courts that have been insulting and

SpOttsyAVanta.

A correspondent Of the New York Tribune,
who lately visited the battlefield OF Spotsyl
vania, says:
Ghastliest Of sll ghastly sights upon this
bloody field are the skeletons of dead men
broadcast over the land---the nations seed
planted willingly for glorious harvest of
Union and peace-but never covered from
sight Within circle Of one hundred and
fifty yards, where an unsuccessful assault
was made upor the enemy's works, counted
fifty skulls, polished by time, rejecting grim
ly the rays of the sun, as they fell csrelessly
upon the last memorial of man. That these
so remained was doubtless due to the fact
that both armies moved away Immediately
after fighting, and have never reoccupied the
spot. But what must be thought of the far
mers who left these dreadful souvenirs lie on
their grounds. ! saw one plowng on the
same field where ley skeleton, aud cody
told me that when he came to it he supposed
be would bury it. IT'S pity for human ma.
turs that such people should live.

Don,t like tho Platform.

The Radicals don't like the platform OF
the late Abolition convention, and they
are beginning to speak ont. They expected
the convention to incorporate he negro
suffrage and negro equality idea in the
platform, and they are disappointed be-
cause it did not do so. They are determin-
ed to be satisfied with nothing short ol
this, and the men who managed the
convention will not be long in finding it
out. The Cleveland Leader, the organ OF
the Abolitionists Of the Reserve, thus de-
nounces the action Of the convention
"Our objection to the platform lies not in
what it says, but in what it fails to say. We
looked for bold and explicit declaration
from the Convention on the subject Of negro
suffrage in the South and of equal suffrage
to whites and blacks in the State of Ohio We
are disappointed that il has not so declared.
This question can not be lodged. 1t has been
sprung upon the people by the collapse of the
rebellion, and it must be met. State conven-
tious may ignore it, politicians may evade H.
but the people will discuss and decide 1t 1t
is irrepressible 1t comes up in the press, IN
the pulpit, in private conversation. IL is.the
issue-almost the only issue--of the day. I'VE
regret, therefore, that the State Convention
did not declare itself explicitly and unmis'
takably upon 1t.
