THE CONSPIRACY.
Wednesday, Proceedings.


WASHINGTON, May 3l-Herman Rich
ter, a cousin of Atzerott, testified that
the prisoner came to his house III Mont
gomery county, Nd, OH the Sunday after
the assassination of the President, and
remained there until Thursday morning
He did not attempt to hide himself, and
was willing to 90 with the arresting par
ties of the United States.
Mr.. Dosher, rs counsel for Atzerott,
stated that lie intended to set up the plea
of insanity, and for this purpose had
summoned relatives and friends Of At
zerott living thousands Of miles away,
who had not yet arrived.
VIM. S. Arnold testified to his brother 5
whereabouts i'll Baltimore city and
country from the 2lst of March to the
lst of April, when the prisoner went to

his pistol and knife.
Frank Arnold, also brother to the
prisoner, testified that the latter went to
Fortress Monroe to enter upon employ
ment.
John T. Ford, proprietor of the thea
ire, was called to the stand, and was
asked by the defense whether Booth ever
applied to him to employ Chester, the
actor. Assistant Judge Advocate Blng-
ham objected to the question.
Mr.. Ewing. contended that the ques-
ton was pertinent. Arnold had made a
voluntary confession that there was a
plan to capture the President, which
Chester, in his testimony, corroborated.
The object in propourding the interroga-
tory was to show that Booth had nobody
in the theatre to assist him. An answer
to the question was important in justice
to Spangler.
Assistant Judge Advocate bingham
said this was not question of relevan-
CIV, therefore it was absolutely unneces-
sary to ask it,
The court sustained the Assistant
Judge Advocates objection.
John T. Ford, manager of the theatre
was recalled. He was shown rope
found in Spangler's carpet bag, and said
| it might have been used for Grabbing OF

Paying the N.tisaal Dess-A Qaery.

R0y1mX the nauouot DcOt-A &oeEys :
The New York Herald is disposed to
father a scheme for paying off the ma
tional debt by subscriptions. despite the
triAing difficulties, that the Government
has not only guaranteed to pay thedebt,
but not to pay it before a certain date,
and the further hitch that if every dol.
lar in circulation was thrown into the
national treasury it would not suffice for
the purpose. As ,he subscriptions are
not to be paid in until the whole amount
is subscribed, those who send IN their
names secure q good advertisement and
a cheap reputation for patriotism. Be-
fore the Herald gets through, the Tribune
is disposed to see how much Mr.. Beniet
has already contributed to the snPpor;
of the public burthens The Tribune puts
its query in this way:
But, as the Herald is so Jealous for
paving off the National Debt, and in its
manifesto berates the troubles caused in
this city by the blundering blockheaded-
ness of the officials in the Internal Reve-
nue. Department we will thank the Vet
erau editor to stop one of their scandals
by stating in Just what district he paid
his Income Tax for 1863 (due in 1861
and whose receipt he has for it,. The
story is that his place of abode is so un.
certain that, when called upon IN Que
district he protested that his proper resi-
dence was in another. and uice Versa, so
that they never could find him in the
right place for taxii & purposes, and did
not succeed in making him pay at all
Of course, this cannot be true; but we
note that these blockheads have carried
their stupid malignity to the extent of
keeping his name out of the published
pamphlet list of Income Taxpayers ip
our city. Will he, therefore, 'oblige us
by putting them all ts confusion of face
by printing his receipt for last years In
come Taxi"
The subject of one of Hogarth's pic
lures, if we remember rightly, is seedy
individual, cadaverous from lack of food,
out at knees and out at elbows, lying ex
hausted on the public highway. Out of
his ragged breeches pocket there sticks a
document labeled Project for paying
the National debt" II seems as If pro-
iects for paying National debts emanate,
for the most part. from those who are not
troubled by their own. We are, OF
course, bound to believe that Mr.. Ben
nett is all exception to the rule, and that
he will he able to successfully set at rest
the ugly question raised by Brother
Greeley

Lazy PhilauthrOpists,o

Ben. Perley POore, in his letters from
Washington to the Boston Journal, speaks
of the Freedmen's Bureau now going into
operation under the management of
Major General Howard as designed to
break up the nests of negro boarding
houses and "lazy philanthropists" SO long
supported from the public treasury:
One other great advantage of the
Freedmen's Bureau will be that it will
close the business operations of parcel
of lazy philanthropists, who now regard
the poor cOntraband as their stock-in-
trade. They turn from the working as
sociations that have labored for the prac
tical benefit of Uncle Tom and get up
some neat little philanthropic machine
which they can run for individual profit.
They want to keep the old darkey mis-
erable, that they can play upon his mise
ries "like harp Of thousand strings"
aud will not let him stir from the waters
of Babylon, that they can set his tears
to song
'Poor Toms a cold" is their Shakspe-
rean stereotyped cry. They don't want
Uncle Tom converted into well-clothed,
industrious laborer, living in neat ten.
ement, with a door plate inscribed
"Thomas" Bnt they want to keep him
and his associate freed people houseless,
tattered and dependent. while they fill
their own pockets with the aims extorted
from the charitable What pity that
the draft is over, for these rascals should
have been made to enter the ranks-per-
haps they would have preferred the regi-
mental bands, where they could have
blown their own trumpets. They know
how.

A RICH DISCOVERY. "A petroleum
company began few days since to dig
for oil in the Black river bottom, near
Grafton, Lorain county, Ohio. Five feet
from the surface they struck a heavy
vein OF mineral paint, Of chocolate color,
which upon examination proved to be
entirely free from grit, and Of Q superior
quality On Saturday they had pene.
trated to the depth Of twenty feet and
had not yet reached the bottom OF the
vein. The proprietors Of the paint mine
intend to suspend their search after OIL,
and devote their labors and capital to

Messa &c of Gov. Clark, of Mississippi

CAIRO, May 3l.-Gov. Clark's message
to the Mississippi Legislature, after ad-
yerting to the responsibility of his &C.
tion in calling the assembly together un'
der the trying circumstances under which
they meet. he admits that the war Is end
ed, and with it the power OF the Cenfed-
eracy over the Southern States, and ex-
press satisfaction. His humble part was
performed with fidelity to his State and
i'm obedience to her laws. He admits
that the Southern States will return to
the Union, and says the circumstances
surrounding them will induce them to
consent. The military power will render
the reorganization delicate and diff.
cnlt task. He advises tho adoption of
the speediest measures to accomplish this
in accordance with the rights of the
State and liberties of the people.
He alludes to the unprecedented unan-
unity with which the people of Missis.
sippi, in 1861, through their authorized
Delegates in convention. severed their
connection with the Union, and says
that the Constitution was not changed.
The subject had occupied the minds of
the people for many years. Causes
which would have justified retaliation
impelled them to secede. With no pur-
pose of aggression, but for defence alone,
did Mississippi raise armies in obedience
to her laws.
He recommends calling convention
to repeal the ordinance Of secession and
enlarge the power of the Legislature. He
then recommends the passage of various
ordinances, and concludes as follows:
The terrible contest through which the
country has Just passed, aroused in eve
ry section the fiercest passions OF the hu-
man heart, and in many instances had
occasioned the commission of crimes OF
the most malignant character, until law
lessness seems to have eliminated in the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln and the at
tempted assassination of Mr.. Seward
For these acts of atrocity and horror so
repugnant to the instincts Of the Ameri-
can heart, and so much opposed to the
principles regulating our social life, you
feel, | am sure, in common with the
whole people of this State, tho profound
est sentiments of detestation. The Pc
riod, too, at which they occurred, was
most inauspicious for the fortunes of the
country. They have inf1amed the minds of
the Northern people, but right thinking
men, when embittered feelings have pass
ed away, will not attribute them to the
Southern people. Yet, for the present,
thew may retard an adjustment OF our
laws and social institutions on such
basis as will most speedily give quiet
repose to the people and country. 1t Is
alleged that the immediate parties en-
gagged in the assassination have implica-
ted number of gentlemen we'll known
for their adherence to the cause of the
South, amongst them Jeff Davis and
Jacob Thompson of this State. This
implication is refuted by Governor Clark
on account of purity of the private char
acter and personal honor, truth and uni
form christian morality of said gentle
men, but says if the evidence justihes
the charge, their names and characters
will be tarnished forever.
