that 90 many of tho white people are disp.o'

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Smratt trial
was ON briefly to-day.
Col Harvey w. Smith testified to his ar

Surratt's house.
Gen. Grant testified to an interview with
JabOb Thompson at Milliken's Bend, in
1863. 1t had nothing to do with the case
Charles Dawson, Il clerk at the National
Hotel in 1855, testified to finding among
some of Booths baggage, left there April
IA. card marked -. Harrison Surratt."
The card was Produced but not offered in
evidence.
Colonel r. c. Morgan testified to the ar
rest OF Mrs. SuTratt ana Payne on the night
of the 18th of April. lie was of the party
with Colonel Smith, but the testimony of
the two varied, and especially so tar aS re-
lated TO Payne. Smith said he met Payne
at the door, and Morgan said he met him
there,
Mrs. Benson, formerly Mrs. lIudspeth,
testified relative to the letters found in n
street car in New York. Mrs. IIudspeth
said she came here from Canada under an
agreement that her expenses would be paid
and that she would receive per diem the
sum of $50 while here.
The members of Congress who are now
in the city are mainly the extreme Radi-
Gals. General Butler and others express
themselves as in favor of short July ses-
sion, merely passing declaratory recon-
struction act, and not entering into any
other business.
Hon. ii. Il. Peck, resident Minister of
Hayti, died at Port-Au-Princc. of fever,
June 9. He was formerly of Oberlin, Ohio.

Representative Boutwell, is in favor of
pushing the impeachment programme, and
proposes the adoption of articles at this
session and the trial of the President by an
adjourned session in October. There is an
active rivalry between this man and Ash
ley, of Ohio, which shall win the diploma
of Dam -phool."
bill is being prepared for the Organiza-
tion by Congress, at its coming session, of
a territorial government for our recently
acquired Russian Territory. Two candid
ates for the position of Territorial Govern
or have already turned up here. There
will be nice bone to pick by obtaining
that position. To get out there and in
short time return as Territorial delegate,
with mileage in, will be a rich plum.
The Government Attorneys, in the Sur
ratt case, gave out to-day, to the surprise
of all 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
iluuspSLui 70 ItCOSnlZc CUTIdLJ us one OF
the parties who accidentally dropped let
ter in her presence, in Il New York street
car, relating to the assassination.
The truth is, so far, the Government has
been very weak in the character of its tes-
timony. Surratt was known to thousands
of people here, and yet there is not one of
our populace who saw him, but mere So
journers and strangers, who never heard
the name of Surratt until after the murder,
now state they saw him mufiied up and
disguised at the theater, and in two years
after they are able to swear to him in open
court as the man.
