New MEMPHIS THEATER There was
a slim attendance at the New Memphis
Theater on Saturday night, when the
Tennessee Orphan Asylum took bene-
fit, and the unfortunate little ones will
receive poor comfort from that affair.
Manager Thompson did his part in ten
dering the use of the theater, but our
citizens failed to respond in proper
manner. Ingomar was performed in
excellent style, the leading parts being
sustained by Mr.. Wheelock and Mrs.
flanagan, who appeared to great advan.
tage and we're frequently applauded
This is the last week Of the season, and
Mr.. James Garden will inaugurate it this
evening by appearing in new sensa-

bers of the company. Mr.. Garden made
many friends during his engagement in
this city last season, who will doubtless
greet him with warm welcome.

Washington Items.

Secretary Stanton has written TO
Gen. Sickles declining to grant his re-
quest to be relieved from the command
OF the Carolinas.
ON the lst Of July the 20 per cent
extra compensation of government
clerks at Washington ceases, and the
clerks in the various departments are al.
ready organizing to press upon Congress
the Importance OF It's continuation.
A bill is being prepared for the Or
ganizstion by Congress at It's coming
session OF Territorial government for
our recently acquired Russian Territory.
Two candidates for the position of Ter
ritorial Governor have already turned
up there.
The Judiciary Committee which was
to reassemble on Wednesday did not get
a quorum, only four members being
present, M essrs. Boutwell,, Williams
Marshall and Eldridge. Gov. Thomas
of Maryland, will arrive Wednesday eve
ming and a quorum will be present.
Members of Congress are arriving
quite freely even thus early, and no
doubt is felt of a quorum in both Houses
on Wednesday next. A letter from
Speaker Colfax is published, dated
Cincinnati, June 81, urging an attend
ance of members on the first day of The
session.
There will evidently be q wide dill
ference in the cost of executing the Re
construction Act in the several districts
While Gen. Sickles says the appropria
tion of half million is barely sufficient
for his own command, Gen. Sheridan eX-
poets to complete the whole in his dis
trict for One-half that amount and to
have it done sooner than any one else.
The resolution under which the
July session of Congress is provided for,
declares that, if there is not a quorum
upon the first calling Of the rolls, tie
presiding officers shall immediately al
journ their respective houses" so that
it behooves members to be on hand n
season. There is little doubt, however,
but that quorums will be present in both
branches.
The sentiment of most Of the dozen
of Congressman present regarding the
session is that it will and ought to take
a short one, say two or three weeks,
with provision for a contingent meeting
in October. Gov. Boutwell, who leSds
the impeachment wing Of the judiciary
Committee, is Of the opinion that the
session will be short, and that the men,
bers generally will be disinclined to
bring the Impeachment report before he
House for discussion at this session
But that as several weeks will undoubt-
eddy be required to exhaust discussion
of this subject, an early meeting n the
Fall will be both desirable and neces-
sary.

SURRATT TRIAL. - The evidence pre-
sented in the Surratt trial on Wednes-
day, related to the general conspiracy
and did not seem to involve the prisoner.
Surratt paid close attention to the de-
tails Of his mothers arrest, and at times
appeared moved by their recital. Gen.
Grants presence on the witness stand at
tracted the greatest interest, although
his testi mony related to the simple fact
OF Jacob ThompsOns having been in the
rebel service. Surratt manifested no
little curiosity to see Grant, and his
counsel shook hands with him as he
came from the stand. Grant was at
tired in citizens dress.
The prosecution, to the surprise of
many, announced that they would close
their evidence in two or three days.
1t may also be added that there was
some disappointment at the inability of
one witness-Mrs. Benson, late Huds-
peth-to recognize Surratt as one OF the
parties who accidently dropped letter
in her presence relating to the conspiracy
to assassinate.
The correspondence of the Tribune
says of the Surratt trial: Even those
who believe Surrstt guilty are puzzled
to understand what the prosecution are
trying to get al. Some believe as Gen.
Butler said publicly on Wednesday, that
neither side are trying their case The
prosecution are trying Mrs. surratt over
again, and the defense are defending An
drew johnson, while Surratt himself,
without trial, will be left in the hands
of a conservative jury. Judge Bing-
ham is there still, and although he does
not appear openly in the scenes, 1t is
well-known he is assisting the prosecu.
ton. Gen. Butler has arrived, but
