TRIAL OF THE CoNsplRAroRs.-The
Military Court, in Washington, was ell.
gagged in trying the conspirators at 2
T. NJ, on the 2Sth, when Assistant
Judge Advocate, Bingham, proceeded
to read his summing up of the evidence
in behalf of tho prosecution occupying
nearly the entire days session. .
He reviewed the testimony minutely.
and at much length, maintained that it
was clearly shown by the evidence that
all the prisoners before the Court. were
connected in the plot to murder
President Lincolp, Vice President John.
son, Gen. Grant, Secretary Seward,
Secretary Stanton, and others. He
quoted high legal authority to sustain
the prosecution. That being cognizant
OF the conspiracy, and entering into it,
the prisoners were equally guilty,
He contended that it was shown by
evidence that Davis and John C. Breck.
inridge, ex.rebcl Secretary of War, and
others in Richmond, Saunders Tbomp.
son, Tucker and other agents in
Canada, had planned, arranged, and as.
sisted the conspirators, in their helKsh
work, to murder, burn, plunder, and
make raids into the United States, for
the purpose of aiding the rebellion; to
stsrye national prisoners imprisoned in
the South to introduce yellow fever in.
to Northern cities |; the armies and to
carry on wholesale burning of North.
ern shipping and hospitals.
The evidence proved that JEFF. Davis
had hired men, paid them, and issucd
blank commissions for their use. He al.
so introduced the fact that it was in the
evidence that one hundred and eighty
thousand dollars, as part pay for the
work entrusted to the conspirators, had
been deposited in the Ontario Bank at
Montreal, by Jake Thompson.

man and a gentleman of strict integrity.

that they were not after gain, fit were

WASHINGTON, June %.

y delegation from Siouth Carolina
consisting ofthe following named persons,
had, late this afternoon, an interview
by an appointment with the President, !,
Judge Frost, Isaac =, Holmes Geoage
w. Williams, w. III. 'Gilliland, 3. ii.
.Steinmeyer, Frederick Richards, VIM.
Whaley, James II. Taylor, VIM. J.
Gayer, and Joseph a. Yates.
The President. said it was his inteh.
ton to talk plainly, so there might be
no misunderstanding. Therefore, it
were better they should look each other
full in the face and not initiate the an.
ciept augurers who, when they met one
another could smile at their success in
deceiving the people. He, said that if
this Union was to be preserved it must
be on the principle Of fraternity, both
the Northern and Southern States
maintaing certain relations to the gov.
ernment. A State cannot go out of the
Union, and therefore none of them hav-
ing gone out, we must deal with the
question of restoration, and not recon.
struction. He suspected that he was
better States rights man than some of
them now present.
Mr.. Holmes-You always so claimed
to be. Laughter]
The President replied that he always
thought that slavery could not be sus.
tanned outside Of the Constitution of the
United States, and that when. the ex.
pertinent was made it would be lost.
Whether it could or could not, he was
for the Union, and ifslavery set tscltup
to control the government the govern.
mcnt must triumph and slavery perish
The institution of slavery made the issue,
and we might as well meet it like wise
and patriotic and honest men. All in.
stitntions must be submitted to the gov.
ernment, and slavery has to give way.
He could not, ifhe would, rsmand it to
its former status. He knew that some
whom he now addressed looked upon
him as a great peoples man and a
radical. But. however unpleasant it
might be to them, he had no hesitation
in saying that before and after he enter.
