Tho surhtt case.


The Washington RepubHcan of the
9Th inst, in rekrelfe to the arrest of
John II. surratt, sak:
The official papae|on the subject will
show that for M Song months the
Government has Been watching this
man, who, at first, wa only suspected,
and who was serving IN certain regi-
ment of the Papal Zou yves. A serious
difficulty here arose. NO eXtradition
treaty between this GoNrnment and the
Papal States; consequently, ifidentitied,
Surratt could not be fmanded. The
first thing was to idei itify the man.
After great precaution and the lapse of
considerable time, this was accomplished
beyond doubt. The nett thing was to
communicate the fact t. the Pope and
obtain his permission to have the noto-
rious man arrested and surrendered to
the United States. Gensral King, our
Minister at Rome, was ktrustcd with
this important duty, and it gives us
pleasure to be able to state that the
Pope, upon the testimony of identity
being shown him, Immediately ordered
the arrest Of Surratt and objected his
surrender to the United States, This is
official. The detailed facts about his
escape from the Papal officers are not
known yet, as they have not been re-
ceived at the State Department. His
escape into Italy was not to remain
long, as it is known that he took pas
sage on board Of vessel ind crossed the
Mediterranean sea into Egypt, where
our Consul General is vested with al
most absolute power. Surratt's escape
from the officers of Rome went before
the flying criminal, and, by the aid of
the telegraph cable, the State Depart
ment was enabled to direct all of our
representatives abroad to be on the alert.
His arrival in Alexander, Egypt, was of
short duration. He was arrested, and if
he does not escape again, will be brou't
to this country in one of our ships of
war, and tried In the civil courts of
this district.
There is little doubt that the arrest of
Surratt will throw some light upon the
great conspiracy OF which he and his
mother and Booth were the ringleaders.

Bile is naturally ola bright yellow col-

it grows darker, and is at length =
black as tar, causing state of mind
which the Romans called atrability-
'atra' meaning black; n scowl Is on the
countenancc, aud the person IL ill-natus-

body and everything. Hence, when .
man Is cross, he Is bilious, aud ought r.

GREAT AGE OF HORSES. We have

quently met with horses that were more
than thirty years of age that possessed
all the vigor and elasticity of horse in
the prime Of life. The Dayton Jour

Old Kate, which presented her owner
with fin5 colt when she was twenty
eight years old, and the same mare rear
cd a colt when she was only four years
old. We saw, n few weeks ago, on the
firm of Isaac Bower, North Chilli, n. Y,
a most beautiful black colt, one year old,
that was got by the celebrated trotter,
Henry Clay, when he was thirty five
years old, and we were credibly inform
ed that the same horse got goodly
number Of fine colts in Western New
York the year that his life was destroyed,
when he was thirtyiivc yeoH old. II
horses could be allowed to arrive to years
of full maturity before they were put to

/ A correspondent writes to the Hart

subjected to heat so intense as to entire

The keen eye of the telescope, gather

him to assert that nearly two thousand Of

"a few evenings since, while watch

A New Railroad ENTERPRISE.

Several years ago \ charter was OBJ
tanned for a railroad from St Louis to
kcokuk, Iowa, but no serious effort was
made to build the road. The time fixed
by the charter for organizing the COM
pany has nearly expired Some days
ago the persons interested met at st.
Louis and organized the st. Louis and
keokuk Railroad Company, and APP
pointed a Board of Directors. A sub
scription of two hundred thousand dol
lars was made. The Company propose
to use the track of the North Missouri to
a point short distance beyond st.
Charles, and from thence to run the
road through Troy, in Lincoln county,
to Louisiana, in Pike, from which point
the river will be followed to Keokuk.
It will pass through a rich and populous
country, and at keokuk will intersect
with roads running in all directious.-
1t is also proposed to build branch up
the rivcr-at present Muscatine is men
toned as the terminus of this branch.
This will be an important road. The
business men Of st. Louis who are spe-
cially interested should see that the en-
tarprise does not lag for the want of
means. When completed it will un-
doubtedly take vast amount of trade
and travel to st. Louis. The Iowa Cen
trail road, which is intended to connect
with the North Missouri at the Iowa
State line in Davis county, is, we under
stand, being rapidly pushed forward.
St. Louis cannot make better invest
ments than in the building of both these

The following "rules of the road" are
based upon legal decisions, and ought to
be universally known. The Courts have
decided that applicants for tickets on
railroads can be elected from the cars if
they do not offer the exact amount of
their fare. Conductors are not bound to
make change. All railroad tickets are
good until used conditions ''good for
this day only" or other admitting time
of genuineness, are ofno account. Pass
engers who lose their tickets can be eject
ed from the cars unless they purchase
second one. Passengers are bound to
observe decorum in the cars, and are
obliged to comply with all reasonable de-
mands to show their tickets. Stand
ing on the platforms, or otherwise vio-
lating the rules of the company, renders
a person liable to be put out Of the train.

IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE IN THE DIS

We have confidence, however, that
the representatives will now fcarleasly
meet the issue, and hasten to set IN En-
ample for the States to follow. They
cannot, consistently, urge impartial
suffrage upon either South or North,
without first comforting IL upon the ter
ritory over which they have especial
jurisdiction. That done, they can then
with some show of consistency, insist
that NIL may, irrespective of color, be
placed upon m equality before the law,
from one end Of the country TO the other.
Let them hasten to proclaim to the world
that the democratic Government Of
America Is now at last disposed to con-
form to what was clearly the spirit Of
It's founders, by obliterating all class
distinctions founded upon caste or color.

WANT OF DECIsIoN.-A great deal of
labor is lost to the world for the want Of
little courage. Every day sends to
their graves number of obscure men,
who have only remained in obscurity
because their timidity has prevented
them from making a first effort, and
who, if they had only been induced to
begin, would in all probability have gone
great lengths in the career of fame. The
fact is, that in doing anything in the
world worth doing, we must not stand
shivering on the bank, thinking of the
cold and danger, but jump in and scram-
bic through as well as we can. 1t will
not do to bc perpetuaily calculating risks
and adjusting nice chances it did all
very well before the flood, when man
could consult his friends upon an intend
ed publication for IA hundred and fifty
years and live TO see its success for six or
seven centuries afterwards; bat at pres
ent a man waits and doubts, and con-
suits his brothers, and uncles, and his
particular friends, till one day he finds
that he is sixty-fve years of age, and
that he has lost so much time in con-
suting first cousins and particular
friends that he has no more time to fol-
low their advice. There is so little time
for over squeamishness at present, that
the opportunity slips away. The very
period of life at which a man chooses to
venture, if ever is SO confined that it is
no bad rule to preach by the necessity,
in such instances, of little violence
done to the feelings, and efforts made in
defiance of strict and sober calculations.

New Use for Calomel---Doctori
Fruit Trees.

A gentleman Of this city was lately In
Saratoga county, and was there shown
an apple tree in fine, healthy condition
which had been i'll, subjected to treat
ment with calomel, and thoroughly
cured. This tree was afflicted with in
sects, which were destroying II, and rem
dering 1t unproductivc. A hole was
bored into the body of the tree, nearly
through the sap, and two grains Of cal
omel inserted. AS soon rs the calomci
was taken by the sap, the vermin died,
and it began TO bear fruit, and has done
so for three years, to the entire satisfac-
ton of the owner.
We are told that sulphur may be mix
cd with the calomel, and produce good
effect. IL may not be new to them, but
it is to us. Homeopathists and Thomp-
sonians may object to the calomel treat
ment, but if they do not like 1t, they
may find among the sugar pills or lobe
liza and red pepper, a substitutc.--Ro-
