THE DAILY EMPIRE.
The Murder of Mrs. surratt.

Don PIATT, who was one of General
SCnRNoK's stan for certain war period,
indirectly admits, through his paper, the
Mack-a-cheek Press, that Mrs. SURRATr,
who was one of the Victims of that Washing
ton military court was innocent of the
charged completely In the assassination of
Mr. LINCOLN. In doing so, however, he
endeavors TO fasten the responsibility of
that dlnbollcgl ,ooman-murder on President
JOHNSON. He asserts .....
THE evidence with all the proceedings
was submitted to Andrew johnson, and he
approved the findings, although he must
have seen, what we ali now acknowledge,
that Mrs, Surratt was condemned TO death
for that she Kept a boarding. house In Wash
ington City, and tods The mother of John
SurrdH. lie approved of this verdict with
the art-broken shrieks of her wretchcd
daughter ringing In his ears. Nay, more
he forbade the exercise of the writ of fhdbeds
corpus sued out by legal tribunal, for
further investigation of her case"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer responds :
"Why shall President JOHNSON be singled
out for censure because In accordance with
the united demand of all the "loyal" men
of the country he executed the findings of
men whose brows have since been wreath
ed with the honors of the Republicanparty
We do not know that ANDREW JOHNSON Gu
tcrtained thought of taking any other
course than the one he pursued. BE this,
however, as itmay, we thought at the time
of the trial aud execution, and still believe,
that had he in the midst of the intense
nhrppzu. xxhich that, t,4avatlnI la
his authority to defeat the DEGREES of the
Military Commission, his own life would
have paid the forfeit"
That is well enough, so far as it goes but
the Philadelphia Ledger places the respon-
sibility of the non-action of the President
on other and the right shoulders--on mis-
erablc wretch whose after-griefs and re-
morse were so consuming, night and day,
and day and night, that they and he, by his
own act, were
"In the deep bosom of the ocean buried"
We regard II as entirely Just that what
the Ledger said Of the matter should here
be rc-produced
"PREsToN KING.--It Is not generally
known To the public that this man was for
time AN incubus at the White House. and
he was made the Collector at New York
llnrb0r to get him out of the way. But
few understand why he committed suicide I;
but there are those who have an idea why
he committed the act. IL was, no doubt,
his conscience. 10 sods Preston King ,ohO
