CRIMINAL CoURT-SENTENCE FRANKLIN
SMITH.-Among the proceedings of this Court,
Wednesday, the sentence of Franklin Smith (white)
convicted Of the crime of rape at the April term of
this Court, was the most important. After his
trial the prisoner sentenced to be hanged in
May, but he craved an appeal to the Supreme Court
of North Carolina which was granted. The case was
accordingly carried up to the Supreme Court,
which tribunal at the June term, after due delib-
Grafton, sustained the Court below and declared
there was no error in the proceedings.
Agreeably to this decision of the Supreme
Court, the prisoner was brought before Judge
Meares, yesterday to receive the sentence of death
for a second time. MIR. Solicitor Holmes read
transcript from the record Of the Supreme Court
and announced that it became his painful duty to
pray the Coult that judgment be passed against
the prisoner at the bar.
The counsel fer the prisoner stated that he had
but enc last request to make, and that is, that
sufficient time be granted to obtain Executive
! cleInency. Steps had been already taken in this
direction, lie stated, and petition already on
foot. The counsel declared that he was induced
to make this request from the fact that since the
! trial facts had transpred, though now too late,
which would so to show the prisoner wholly in
competent to commit the crime at the time it was
charged.
His Honor then proceeded in due form and
with great solefhnity to pass sentence of death
| upon the prisoner. He implored and advised him
to endeavor to become prepared for the end which
he rapidly approaching, by directing his
thoughts on high and seeking consolation from
that Book of books which promises that ever
such sinners as he may be forgiven. The sen
tence directs that the prisoner be taken back tc
ba all wi he ff
remain until Friday, the Goth day of August, 1867
at which time he will be taken by the Sheriff tC
the common place Of execution, between The
hours of 10 and and there to be hung by the
neck until he is dead, dead, dead.
MILITARY CoURT.-A Military Court was con
vened here Wednesday, by order of Col. Frank
Commandant of the Post, and is now in session
for the trial of persons charged with retailing ii
quor contrary to General Orders No. SO, from Dis
trict Headquarters Chas Schulken was the frs
person arraigned upon this charge before tn
Court, but the evidence being so unsatisfactory
the case was dismissed.
Yesterday afternoon C. Hussel was arraigneC
upon similar charge, but the case has not ye
been concluded and the trial will be continued to
day.
There are several more parties under arrest up
on similar charges, we learn, and Col. Franz
evinces disposition to ferret out and bring t.
trial all persons committing this offence.

From Washtngton-Tle Surratt Case.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 7-P. NJ.
Judge Fishers charge covers four and half
columns, its general tone is regarded as unfavor-
able to the prisoner. The following is the sum-
ming up From the observations which have adj
dressed to you, you will infer first that conspi
racy was formed in time of to take the life Of
the President and Vice President of the Republic
and the heads of the Executive Departments, for
the purpose Of aiding the enemies of the Federal
Government by throwing it into anarchy and con-
fusion is treason, heinous and as hurtful to the
people of this country, as the comprising the
death of the King or Queen of Great Britain is to
the subjects of that realm.
Second. That every person engaged in such con-
spiracy, as long as he continues a member of it,
is responsible not only for the act of treason but
for any murder or less crime which may flow from
it.
Third. That the Government may waive the
charge of treason against any or all the conspra-
tors, and proceed against them for the smaller
crime of murder included in the greater crime of
treason.
Fourth. That under an Indictment for a muir
der resulting from the prosecution of such con-
spiracy evidence of the entire scope of the consp
character of the offence laid in the Indictment.
Fifth. That it was not necessary to aver in the
Indictment the fact that Abraham Lincoln, the
victim of the murder was, at the time of its COM
mission, President of the United States, or to
prove it in order to allow the jury to take that
fact into the account in determining the heinous
character of the crime, it being fact OF which
Courts will take Judicial cOgnizance.
zbo Ioo h.
it by himself, and is responsible for its conse-
quences, in criminal Is we'll as civil cases.
Seventh. That although an abb when clearly
established, forms complete and unanswerable
Defense the mere absence from the immediate
scene of a crime resulting from q conspiracy I'M
repented of and unabandoned by the party
charged, it will not avail him if he were at some
other place assigned him performing his part in
the conspiracy.
Eighth. That this plea is-uness clearly mado
out-always regarded with suspicion, and Cir
cumstance weighing against him who attempts it
because it implies an admission of the correct
ness of the inference drawn from them.
Ninth That flight from the scene OF crime, the
fabrication of false accounts and the concealment
of instruments of violence are circumstances indi-
eating guilt.
Tenth Although confession in the slightest
degree tainted with the promise Of favors, or by
duress or fear. is not admitted evidence against
him who makes it, yet, if made freely and volun-
tarily, is one of the surest points Of guilt.
The foreman Of the Jury requested G copy OF
the recorded evidence.
Judge Fisher said it was unusual.
The receipts of Internal Revenue to-day reach
