Capt. Gcise, in support Of this resolutson, gave
some pointed illustrations Of the effects Of military

As the three carriages rapidly rolled up Eighth
street. from the navy yard to Pennsylvania avenue,
they attracted but little attention, but few know.
ing that the leading ono contained the person Of
John H. Surratt, whose name has become notorious
since the murder Of President Lincoln.
Arriving at First street, the carriages turned TO
the right passing the Old Capitol, en- route, where
WirE, the Andersonyille murderer, was executed.
A fow squares below the former counsel Of Mrs.
surratt was noticed standing on o street corner.
The circumstance was o suggestive one and was
commented on by the occupants Of the carriages
On the arrival at tho Jail the prisoner who by the
way was securely manaoed, was escorted to his cell
by Marshal Gooding, upon whose arm he leaned
with apparent nervousness which betokoned his
thorough understanding of tho situation. The
baggage Of the prisoner consisted Of bundle con.
tanning several blankets, scarfs, tobacco, &o, which
he was allowed to take to his cell.
He is confined In one Of the cells constructed for
tho confinement Of desperate criminals, and from
which escape is next to impossible, the walls being
heavily plated with iron.
As the Criminal Court adjourns within a few
days, the prisoners trial will probably not take
place before the March torn.
II was reported yesterday that the officers and
crew Of the Swatara were to be transferred to Nor
folk, Va, and until ntor the trial Of Surratt, were
to have no communication with any person what.
