THE QUESTIONS which seemed debatabe
so long, whether the Military Commission
that tried the conspirators recommended the
communication of Mrs. Surratt's sentence
whether, if they did SO recommend, the Pre-
sident ever saw the document and whether
The did not, it was suppressed by Secretary
Stanton, appear not to be yet satisfactorily
settled. In the course of the Surratt trial,
on Saturday, Mr. Picrrepont submitted the
official record of the Commission, including
the original order for Mrs. Surratt's execu-
ton, signed by Mr.. johnson, and having on
the same sheet with this order the recon-
incubation to mercy, signed by Hunter,
Kautz, Foster, Ekin and Tompkins, members
OF the Commission.
But this is the last thing in the whole re-
cord, and Mr. johnson says it was appended
after he signed the order for execution, and
that he never saw it. Thus far, no evidence
has been produced to refute this allegation,
except that Mr.. Pierrepont, in his speech
yesterday stated that Judge Holt had told
him that he had personally laid before the
President the document signed by majority
OF the Military Commission, recommending
Mrs. Surratt to Imprisonment; the Presi-
dents denial that he had never seen #, TO
the contrary, notwithstanding.

THE FALL TRADE.

The Philadelphia North american says,-
Though at this moment wholesale business is
extremely dull, and the commercial world is en-
joying its vacation, yet we find n much more
cheerful feeling prevalent than we have observed
Tor many months agone. So far as our reporter
can feel the commercial pulse, there exists gene
raj gratitude for the absence of apprehendsd
pestilencc, great thanktulness for the plenteous
crops harvested and yet to be harvested, and a
lively hope for and belief in the transaction of
healthy and prosperous trade in the coming
season. Manufacturers in all the various lines
have all they can do in preparing for the coming
demand. In stoves and hollow-warc, furniture
leather the textiles and iron, there is no dullness
whatever. The summer holidays are likely this
year to be short. There are good many south
ern and western buyers now ut the contiguous
watering places, md we hear of some cases ii
which statesmen at watering places have been re-
called In haste 10 attend to customers already on
the spot,

TEN CENTS Al HEAD

How many dead-letter laws there are on
our statute book we do not here propose to
state, but only to call public attention to the
fact that they are very numerous, and make
large percentage of the whole number.
OF these probably the most remarkable is
that taxing passengers on the railroads and
steamboats,. The recent discussion, in the
columns OF this paper, of the relative rates
OF fare, charged on various railroads, has
called public attention to the law of this
State which requires that;-''every person,
corporation, or association, or company of
persons, not corporation, engaged, or
" that may hereafter engage in the business
"of carrying or transporting passengers by
"steam power, whether on land or water,
..'in, through, upon, over, or across, any
portion of this State, or within the terri
torial limits OF the same, shall, on the first
"day of each month, or within five DAYS
thereafter pay into the hands of the State
Treasurer, for the use of the State, a tax
lat and after the rate of ten cents for every
passenger so transported"
Now this is pretty conclusive law. il
would seem. 1t brings into the State
Treasury large amount of money. TIL,
tax is laid ON every person who takes pas
sage by steamboat or railroad, if the distanc,
traversed be ever SO short. From Newpor
to Wilmington by the p, w. & b. Railroad
is about three miles. A passenger coming
from there to this city is taxed the ten cents
the same as if he went on to PHILADELPHIA
| twenty eight miles farther. This burden O
tax falls so severely on the Railroad Com
pany that for the three miles ride they fine
1t necessary to charge thirty cents-ten cent
per mile.
AS we have already said, the law seem
pretty strongly wordcd, and it would appea
strange if il failed to be enforced. Strang
or not, however, il is not enforced. TIL
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimor
Company, and the various corporations il
the Delaware Line pay the tax, and increas
their charges on travel proportionately, bu
the independent steamboat lines do not no,
and never did, pay it-and we might add
very probably they never will. The reaso
appears to be, that the State authorize
are afraid to test the constitutionality of tb
law by prosecuting the delinquent steambo.
owners. The latter, believing the act to
unconstitutional, as, indeed, every INTEL
gent person knows it to be, have ney,
thrown away money unnecessarily by pa,
ing ten cents apiece for the passengers the
carry.
And so this marvellous law of ours stant
on the books, a shining light OF shrew
lhahciering and able craftsmanship. 1t
very accommodating law; those wi
choose to give, hand over the ten cent
those who don't keep the ten cents in the
pocket. And when our lamented friep
Allderdice, moved to inquire, in the Sta,
, Legislature, last winter, why tbe Treosrr,
did not proceed to collect the money as !,
quired by law, the political friends of n,
; State Treasurer quietly killed the resolu,,o
of inquiry. They did not want the publ
I to know anything about this very odd, We,

The OVERWHELMING MAJoRITIEs for
Brownlow and the Republican members of
Congress, in Tennessee, will probably in
duce great change in the franchise laws of
that State. At the recent election, besides
the fact that the colored citizens exercised
their right Of suffrage, those who partici-
pated in the rebellion were DISTINGUISHED,
and the loyal majorities are consequently
very large. But it is now said, that relying
on this large preponderance, the Republicans
will consent to the enfranchisement Of the
mass of the rebels, and Governor Brownlow
is reported to have said that in his first mes
sage to the Legislature he should recon-
mend that every male citizen, over twenty
one, be allowed to vote.

In pursuit of band of Indian raiders who had
been committing outragcs near Fort HAYES.
Alter hot pursuit of Is miles, our troops over
took about seventy-iive of the Indians on the Sa-

dans were reinforced by about two hundred
braves, all armed with Spencer carbnes and
commanded by two white men.
Captain Amcs was surrounded and fought his
way out and fell back towards Fort Hayes close
ly pursued by the Indians for distance of fifteen
miles.
Seven Indians were killed. Captain Ames was
wounded in the thigh and seven of his men were
wounded. Capt. Ames sent to Fort Hayes for re-
Inducements. Forty additional men were sent

from them.
Inc Indians were IN strong force and threaten

The National Republican ticket has swept

THE SURRATr TRIAL.

JUDGE FISHER CHARGES THE JURY.
WASHINGTON, August Judge Fisher deliver
ed his charge to the Jury, commencing as fol-
lows Whose sheddeth mans blood, by man
shall his blood be shed.''
So spake the Almighty to his servant Noah.
This is Gods own law and Its wisdom is acknow-
lodged by all civilized nations.
You may be told that it is "A crime surprisingly
hcinous to take the life of him who was born to
inherit throne, simply because he maybe King
of an cnslaved people, but that to take the life of
the president of a free Republic is an offence of
not greater magnitude than to murder the veriest
vagabond that walks your streets, but an Ameii-
can Jury will only bel eve this doctrine when the
people have become SO demoralzed and corrupt,
SO devoid ofLaw, of Liberty and patriotic feeling,
as to prefer TO have King and ruler foisted upon
them by the accident of birth, or fortunate adven-
ture.
COMPLETION OF THE CHARGE.
Judge Fisher completed the delivery of his
charge to the Surratt jury,at about twelve o'clock,
when they retired TO their room for the purpose
of dellberation.

WAS GENERAL SHERIDAN born In the
