The HoSMR- boutwell, AND TIE ARREST OF
SURRArT.-The explanation made by Mr.. Bout
well In the House Of Representatives on Tues
day OF his remarks in the republican caucus,
in regard to the case Of Surratt, does not
relieve him from the imputation Of having
sought to give currency to most malicious
and unfounded charge against the President
There is not radical in either House, no
matter how fanatical, who attaches the least
credence TO 1t As to the formal inquiry
threatened. the thing is too absurd to be per-
severed In. Its only effect would be to cover
gu concerned with ridicule. Let us just look
at the facts Of the case as they stand, Invested
OF their unfair coloring. It was in the col
umns Of the HERALD and through the medium
Of cable despatch that the irst announce
ment was made Of the attempt to capture
SaVass y such accurate knowledge existed
in the State Department as to his movements
so far back - May last, as Mr.. Boutwell,
asserts, we need scarcely say that through
some OF our active correspondents abroad
the readers Of the HERALD would have
had the information as soon as the De-
partment Sut assuming the fact to be
80, is that reason for founding upon II
so foul an imputation against the President
and the Secretary Of State, who Il equally

Ex-Governor Eyre and the Jamaica Com-
mittee.

Ex-Governor Eyre and the Jamaica Com-
The leading journals Of England are still
occupied with discussions on the conduct
Of Governor Eyre and the probability or inn
probability Of his being brought ultimately to
trial. Public sentiment on the subject seems
as much divided as ever. The muscular Chris
tians, as q rule, and the great body Of tho tory
party unite in regarding Mr.. Eyre as model
governor, and therefore as q much injured
man whereas the people generally, including
all those in every class who are afflicted with
what the first Napoleon was wont to call "mis-
taken humanity" see In him only the incarna-
ton Of cruelty and ON open and undisguised
enemy Of public liberty. The truth, perhaps,
Is to be found midway between these two ex-
tremes. Mr.. Eyre, we believe, is neither so
bad as his foes nor so good as his friends would
make him. He was called upon to act, and 10
act with vigor, in circumstances of peculiar
difficulty. II is scarcely fair to apply the or
binary laws Of conduct to the actions Of respon-
sible rulers in times Of great public excitement
In such persons on such occasions certain dis
cretionary powers must be supposed to be
lodged. The good man and the bad man are
equally liable to give way to some immediate
aud powerful impulse. Time and the result
alone can determine whether those discretion
airy powers have been abused and what has
been the real character of the action. We have
no hesitation in saying that IL the rising in ia
maIca had been less promptly suppressed and
he 49, ccxx, 4 L.
shed, the cruelty and judicial murder laid to
the charge Of Mr.. Eyre would never have been
heard OF.
At the same time much interest attaches to
this expected trial. Such scenes are less
familiar to the world now than of old. In the
palmy days Of the ancient Roman republic
trials Of this kind we're by no means uncom-
mon. and some Of the most magnificent specta-
cles which the City Of the Seven Hills ever
presented were witnessed on those occasions.
The only event in modern times with which
they may be compared is the celebrated trial
of Warren Hastings, which took place amid
circumstances Of pomp and splendor such az
perhaps England alone ct that time Of all the
nations Of the earth could prescnt-a trial
which Macaulay has embalmed In imperish-
able language, and Of which Hastings himself
said that one generation had Witnessed Its
commencement and another generation wit
messed Its close. We do not for q moment
mean to compare the Ex-Governor Of Jamaica
with the illustrious Proconsul OF India. There
was a magniHcence about Hastings, small in
stature az he was--a magnincence about his
virtues q we'll a. his vices, to which Mr. Eyre
can never pretend. We have no expectation
that the trial, II It should take place, will ap,
proach that Of Hastings, either in interest &
attractiveness. But in these times Of conpara-
tive dulnsss II will have in 1t the element Of
novelty, and IL Is not impossible chat Il may
tend 10 throw light on some important add
dif1cult questions.

RAILROAD MANAGEMENT IN THIS SrArE.--we
publish to-day some comments on railroad
management in this Stale which 1t may profit
the stockholders Of our roads to read. There
is, beyond doubt, great room for improvement
In the manner In which the affairs Of such CON-
panies are managed. Il seems singular that q
road which earns In 1865 three times as many
millions Of dollars as II earned twelve years
ago, and which then paid seven per cent divi-
dend, should not now be able to pay six per
cent without borrowing money With which to
do it. Many ql 9H, express COMPANIES and
railrQad companies have paid their original in
vestnent three or four times over. There Is no
reason why our railroads, II managed honestly

A PERSONAL ANNoYANcE.-Some parties, pro-
badly connected with some bogus news specu-
lation, are now in the habit Of sending to our
Office late at night proof sheets filed with
items of stale news taken from the HERALD
and other journals Of the preceding day. This
puts us to the unnecessary trouble of looking
over batch Of bogus te'osr nus. It is an
annoyance, and we hope the parties with
whom II originates will put stop to 1t.

criminals on foreign soil, moro especially
where no extradition treaty exists. In the
case Of Surratt these obstacles were increased
by the aid and sympathy which 30 many who
are hostile to this country were ready TO afford
him. The State Department may have been
acquainted with the fact that no had LETT the
country at the period stated; but by no means
follows that it had succeeded in tracking him
through his various DISCUSSES and places OF
refuge until 1t located him in Rome. One
thing we are satisfied Of and that is, that ne
was pounced upon as soon as there was
reasonable probability of his capture being
effected. Until then the agents of the Depart
ment were compelled to proceed with as much
caution and reserve as possible. As 1t was
the criminal was very near making his escape.
The distortion of facts so simple into charge
of completely against the President is one Of
the most lamentable phases Of our present
transition state. Nothing seems too wild OF
extravagant for the imagination of political
partisans to conjure up as a means Of damag-
ing an opponent The employment Of calum'
MES SO reckless is at oil times indefsnsible, but
as used towards the Executive they should be
secuted with indignant Reproduction.

A SENSIBLE MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES
SESArE.-The Senate very properly refused on
Tuesday to take up the bill passed SO hur-
riedly by the House, repeating that section Of
the confiscation act which gives the President
power to grant general amnesty to those
lately engaged in rebellion against the govern
ment OF the United States. Mr.. Fessenden,
who led off in opposition to this nasty legisla-
ton, refused to express any opinion on the
merits Of the bill in question, but stated that
he objected to the passage Of such an import
ant measure until II had been duly considered
In committee. The motion 10 take up the bill
was lost only by tie vote; but 1t Ia to be
hoped that the hint will not be dlsregarded by
the House, but will induce them to recognize
the fact that the Congress Of the United States
is something more than mere caucus Of vio-
lent and vindictive partisans.

The ARGUMENT A PoSTERIoRI.-A.
Reig is gentleman new to this city
and totally unacquainted with its
ways. He halls from Pittsburg,
where he has plenty of friends, who
move In the irst circles of society. He
boasts an Irish extraction, and was
Drought up on favorite Irish bever-
age. His fondness for 1t is therefore
ntense-pnconqueFRb he INDUCED
that fondness on Friday last, and was
30 unfortunate, in consequence,ast to get
entangled in the tolls Of a beasLly
temperance man.
This Individual lahored under the
very common delusion, that love OF
atimnlants can be eradicated by con-
hnement in the calabOose. His REFORM
ing zeal was great; here was a needed
reformation; and he called on an obssr-
want guardian of the place to take
charge of the demonstrative Pitts
burgher.
The guardian of the peace, however,
WINS gentleman of a liberal turn Of
mind-his professional experience had
enlightened him ON the subject
of stimulants pRrticularly-and he
therefore compiled with the temperance
mans request only SO far as 70 inti-
mate to the victim of reform that he
had better behave himself. The vic
tim Mt once commenced to behave, and
profanely lined up his right pedal ex-
tremity unto the sacred rear of the
guardian. Human nature couldn't en-
dure Il, much less official dignity.
The frolicsome Pittsburgher was ac-
cOmmodated at the "loclS-1p." When
