The Trial of Werz-IFse Judge Adcocate,s
AIDnnaent Osa the Charges Of Murder.


argument oss the Charges of, Murder.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 81.
The Werz Military Commission reassembled
to-day. Judge Advocate Chapman proceeded
to read his argument on charge second, alleg-
ing murder in violation of the laws and Gus
toms of war, treating the subject under four
heads as follows: First, the various cases of
death resulting from mutilation by hounds /;
second, those resulting from confinement in
: the stocks and in the chain gang; third. the
cases Of killing of prisoners by the guards pur-
suant to the direct order of the accused given
at the time; fourth, the cases of killing by the
prisoners own hands. He briefly argued the
responsibility of the accused, and said that
every death was murder, for which he is ac-
countable, he having grossly violated the laws
and customs of war.
The prisoner requested that DR.. Bates might
examine his person in the presence of the
court to show that he was physically incapable
of committing the acts of murder and assaults
alleged against him. The request was granted.
The President then announced that the doors
would be closed and not again opened to the
public.
The Court in secret session deliberated on
the case submitted, but nothing can be known
of the result until it is officially promulgated

Speech of Secretary se.eard.

SNSSS'S " O0SSStSs0 ootCe|~'
NEW YORK, Oct. 81.
Secretary Seward made an important speech
at Auburn yesterday, on the occasion of his
reception home by his neighbors and friends
In regard to the present plan Of reconcllia-
ton, he argued that an employment of force
would but prolong anarchy and delay recon-
Citation. The plan Of reconciliation we are
pursuing has given us two great national ad-
vances in this progress of moral and political
elevation, which are now to be made fast and
firmly fixed. First, IL secures voluntary alb
clifton of slavery by every State which has en-
gagged in an instruction, and does secure an
effectual adoption by the late slave States
themselves Of the amendment of the Federal
Constitution, which declares that neither slav-
cry nor involuntary ssrvitude, except for crime,
shall ever hereafter exist in any part of the
United States. To hasten this reconstruction
Mr.. Seward said, in the language of the Presi-
dent, in the spirit Of the Constitution, and in
harmony not only with our politics but with
our religion, we must trust each other.
Concerning foreign nations, Mr.. Seward
said he was permitted to say, in general terms,
we have claims upon foreign nations for inju-
ries to the United States and her citizens, and
other nations have presented claims against
this Government for alleged injuries to them
or their subjects. He believed the President
would conduct these Affairs in such manner
as to yield and recover indemnities justly due
without any compromise OF the national dig
nifty and honor. With whatever Jealousy we
may adhere to our Inherited principle of avoid
ing entangling alliances with foreign nations,
we must continue to exercise a just and bene-
ficent influence in the international conduct
of foreign States, particularly those which are
near to us on this continent, and which are
especially endeared to us by their adoption OF
lArxr T 41.a
President had not lost sight of this important
interest, and he expected to see Republican in
situations, wherever they have been heretofore,
established throughout the American conti-
nent speedily vindicated, renewed and invig-
Grated.

Republican Meeting Ia Ncto Yori-Speech OF
Daniel s.. Dickinson.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81.
The Republican ratification ratification meet
ing at Cooper Institute last night was address,
ed by Gen. fitzpatrick, Daniel s. Dickinson,
Horace Greeley, Gen. Bannum and others
In the course Of his remarks Mr. Dickinson
said events had made the negro a member of
the political society. His freedom is one of
the fruits of war in which he has fought and
bled for our common country, and it is not
only one of the first duties and proudest privi-
leges, but for the best and highest interest of
the governing race, more especially in the re-
cent slave States where colored men are nu-
merous, to advance him as far as possible in
the scale of rational beings. He should be
taught not only to read and write, selfreliance.
self-respect, selfsustenance and self-protection,
but he should enjoy equal rights and be con-
sidered equal in the eye OF the law in courts of
justice as party witness; and, while / regard
negro suffrage in the abstract as but one step
In his progress, were l resident OF a Southern
State l should advocate giving to the colored
man, when sufficiently informed and self-reli-
ant, the ballot as one round in the ladder of
his political and social elevation; but it is
matter for the States themselves, and we have
no more right to dictate to the Southern States
in this matter than they have to New York,
where to our few blacks we extend qualified
suffrage; nor has the Federal Government a
right to interfere with either.
