EQUALITY IL THE Union.

What sort of men the reconstructed
South will be allowed to send to Con-
gress, may be judged of by the proceed
ings in the Senate upon the presentation
of the credentials of a Senator from
Maryland, lately elected. We commend
to the consideration of those anxious to
return into the Union, the following from
the Cincinnati Enquirer:
THE MARYLAND SENATOR.
The radical senators, not satisfied with
their overwhelming majority, which en-
ables them to ride rough-shOd alike over
the presidents veto and the constitution,
are evincing a determination TO close the
door upon all but those who subscribe to
their creed. This will be sufficiently
apparent to all who read the synopsis Of
the debate, published in our Geographic
columns, upon the presentation Of the
credentials of the Hon. Philip +.
Thomas, senator elect of Maryland, upon
a motion Of Senator Howard to refer 10
the judiciary committee upon the ground
that Mr. Thomas had sympatized
with the rebels. The arguments in
support of this measure were friv-
olous and contemplate, and worthy
The source from which they emanated.
One grave charge addueed was that Mr..
Thomas in one of his speeches had re-
marked that congress by its acts APP
peared determined to break up the
or words to that effect. If he did
say SO, lac but echoed the sentiments of
the entire south, and half the north. But
matter what he said the mere fact
that he does n~e9ahelong to the radical
of politics is sufficient to render
him obnoxious, and prevent his admis-
sion, if possible, into their august body.
is another illustration Of the old fable
1f the wolf and the lamb; for II the
leaders are determined that Mr.. Thomas
hall not be admitted, the blind majority
will do their bidding. The cam to which
he term "loyalp has been submitted,
nd the outrages that have been perpe-
rated in its name, are sufficient to make
{ hereafter as distasteful in the ears of a
liberty-lOving community, as
the word "royalp to our ancestors.

THE SURRATT CASE.


On Saturday last, the trial of Surratt
Was brought to a termination BY the dis
charge of the jury who failed to agree
The jury stood eight for acquittal and four
for conviction. The following is the let
ter they addressed to Judge Fisher before
being dlschar ged ao!aH ~ 7..au ss
To Hon. J. B. Fisher, Judqe Of The
Criminal Court: iii : 2
The jury IN the case of the United
States VS.. John Fl. Surratt, most respect
fully state that they stand precisely now
as when they first balioted upon entering
the room. They are nearly ECU lly di
vided, and they are firmly convinced that
they cannot make verdict We deem il
our duty to the Court and the country.
and in view of the condition Of our pri
vate affairs, and the situation Of our fam
lies, and in. fact the health of several of
our members becoming seriously impair
ed under the prolonged confinement, to
make this statement, and ask your Honor
TO dismiss us at once a
Most respectfully submitted. (Signed
by all the jury.) .s4 4. ~.
1t IS stated that the jury could not
agree as to the presence of Surratt in
Washington at the time of the assassina-
ton, but that had the indictment been for
conspiracy, there would have been unan-
lmous verdict of guilty. The evidence
elected during the examination of wit
nesses in the trial, can leave little doubt
in the minds of all candid persons as to
the real guilt of Surratt That he WIS
accessory to the assassination cannot be
doubted, and how far the fact of his alb
seDce from Washington at the time. may
shield him from the penalty of the law.
no sensible person will claim that it will
shield HIM from the moral guilt of muir
der
That he should be punished for such a
deed would seem most proper, were it not
for the fact that our government has al
lowed infinitely greater villains to 50 free,
and adopted policy which makes treason
and conspiracy nolonger crimes.
Suratt may and should have onother
rial, but his rebel sympatbizcrs Will
probably secure his ultimate aogaitt4J

and 2 o'clock 2. NJ. on Saturday last the

His sons had drawn into the barn about
10 loads Of marsh hay; and were in the
barn, and had just unloaded load, when
one OF them thought be smet smoke, and
on examination saw fire through the floor
OF the stable, among the hay in the NOW,
the smoke issuing from between the hay
and the sides of the barn They had
barrel y time to back the horses and wagon
out OF the barn and save few tools, which
were on the barn floor, before the hole
building was developed in flames, their
dwelling very narrowly escaped, the
wind blowing directly from the bari to- it,
It caught three or four times but the ex-

told me and persisted in 1T thatatl ere had
been no fire, matches or smoking near ii Q
