The Herdlds special says information has
been received by the Secretary of the Trea-
sury that steps have been taken towards form
ing an organization among merchants 10
England for the purpose of smuggling goods
into the United States, through Canada, il
the high tariff bill becomes a law.
The Times special says the country will be
startled before the close of the week by the
report from the Judiciary Committee on the
impeachment matter, indicating the progress
they have made and asserting the necessity
of pushing the investigation of the ex>Con
gress, the developments thus far demanding
It's continuance. Those who believe the
Committee have done nothing, will find them
selves seriously mistaken.
The reports that Gen. Grant had an inter-
view with the President on the reconstruction
bill are unfounded, though he is unqualihedly
IN favor of the bill.
The Presidents veto Of the reconstruction
bill is prepared 1t is quite lengthy, and
principally devoted to the legal features of the
bill Its tone is firm and respectful.
The veto of the tenure Of Office bill Is also
prepared. Besides objecting to the section
subiecting members Of the cabinet to its pro-
visions, the President objects TO making the
tenure Of other officers during good behavior
or for life.
The provisions Of the army bull that the
headquarters of the General shall be in " ash,
ingtou only, and that all orders shall emanate
from the General, &c, are regarded as un>
constitutional, and that bill will also doubt
less be vetoed.
1t is reported that Postmaster General
Randall Is to resign and 60 to Vienna, as
Minister, in place of Mr.. Motley.
The Herdlfs Washington special says that
force is engaged at Leayenwofth, under
General Hancock, to operate against the In
dans in Kansas and Nebraska.
The person who endeavored to obtain an
interview with Surratt proves to be really bis
brother, who went to Texas in 1859. Fail
ing to see his brother he has left the city.
The Worlds Washington special says that
the report of the Judiciary Committee, on
the impeachment matter, will be as complete
failure as the evidence has been to sustain
the charges which has been preferred.
The Tribune Washington special says unless
the House accepts the loan bill, as passed BY
the Senate yesterday, there is very little Frob
ability of anything being passed this session
rs the Senate is unanimous against the House
scheme The WAYS and Means Committee
will meet the House to concur.
A couple Of important witnesses on ths
impeachment matter arrived in Washington

Jury, and thought that il was proper that he
should be arraigned, SO as to give him an op-
portunity Of selecting his counsel and for the
Court to appoint time for his trial.
! Mr. Merrick, counsel for the prisoner, said
he would suggest to the Court that it would
be scarcely consistent with the authority and
dignity Of this tribunal that the prisoner
should be arraigned in tnanacles, and there
fore ask that your Honor have the manacles
removed.
Judge Lynch-Certainly; let the manacles
be removed, and let the prisoner come for
ward and hear the Indictment
The manacles were then removed, and the
prisoner rose, and accompanied by his coun-
sci, the Messrs. Bradley, Senior and Junior,
and Mr.. Merrick, walked to the front of the
Clerks desk, and stood while the indictment
was being read. During the reading Of the
Indictment which has been already pub
lished, ample opportunity was afforded for a
close inspection of Surratt- He is Q man of
about FIVE feet nine inches in height, and of q
slim figure. His hair is light and his eyes
blue. The lines of his profile are regular
and web denied, and, although the general
expression of his face Is sad and almost sicks
ly, his rather bold forshead and prominens
nose, slightly inclined 10 be aqualine. together
with firmly set mouth, and prominent chin.
speak plainly of degree of determination
and intelligence in his character which one
might fail to detect without somewhat close
inspection. He was dressed in an elegantly
made black frock coat, with something of
foreign cut, and dark tweed pants Altogeth-
er his appearance wss genteel and gentle
manlike.
At the conclusion of the reading Of the in
dictment the usual question was propounded
by the clerk, +" Are you guilty or not guilty.
To which he replied in firm voice, Not
guilty.
Judge Lynch-Do you wish to set day for
the trial, Mr. Carringson?
Mr.. Carriugton-I would not wish to do it
now, your Honor
Judge Lynch--The next term of the Court
begins on Monday week.
Mr. Bradley, Sr.-It would be impossible
TO make any arrangement now, your Honor.
Counsel up to this time have had no oppor
iuniy to confer with the prisoner. IL We
could make an arrangement for the trial we
would be exceednglg anxious TO do so, and
have it disposed Of Il think it would be well
TO have some time 70 arrange 1t, so that at
the next meeting of the Court we will be able
to fix some day for the hearing Of the case.
Nothing can be done till then, sir.
Mr.. Carrington-l would ask your honor
to remand the prisoner.
Judge Lynch-Wsll, let the prisoner be
remanded,
Surratt was then taken from the court room
and conveyed in carriage back TO the lsil.
