PARTIAL CONFESSION BY oURRATf.-l
Among the evidence taken by the
House Judiciary Committee relative
to the arrest of John II. Surratt, as
we learn by dispatch to the Herald
is statement by DR.. l.. }. Mcmillan,
surgeon on the steamer Peruvian, ply
| ING between Montreal and Liverpool.
From this statement it appears that IN
September, 1865, Surratt took pas
sage on the Peruvian for Europe, and
became intimate with Mcmillan, con-
Tossing who he was. He also con-
fessed that
ale had been from the beginning
in the Confederate service, carrying
dispatches between Washington and
Richmond, and also as far as Mon
treal. That he and Booth had plan
ned, at first, the abduction of Presl-
dent Lincoln; that, however, they
thought they could not succeed in that
way, and they then thought it was nee
essary to change their plan. After
, this, and before the assassination,
Surratt was in Montreal when he re-
ceived letter from Booth ordering
: him Immediately to Washington-that
5 it was necessary to act and promptly
: and he (Surratt) was to leave Mon

Prussia and France.

l.
There was last week a speck OF
war in the news from Europe. France
and Holland had been negotiating for
a cession of Luxembourg te France
and the treaty was about concluded,
when Bismark appeared on the scene,
and Holland declined to make the
cession. 1t was reported that France
insisted, and Prussia backed Hol-
land for a fight against Napoleon
The funds fell and there was gene
raj panic. Prussia and France hur-
ried up ornaments. The latest adj
vices, however, left affairs more peace
full, with Bismark master of the sltua-
ton.
The London Times gives the polit-
ical history of Luxembourg as fol
lows:
Luxembourg constituted from very
old times an integral part of the Ger
man Empire; its illustrious House
. gave Germany four Fmperors, one OF
whom, Henry VII, though carried
away by sudden and probably VIC
lent death at an early age, ranks

archs. Though the Grand Ouch.

mt. The march of public sentiment
n the long run is inevitably toward
radicalism, and never beyond it. The
true radical is therefore never . wealth
er-cock blown about by every gust OF
ftful public prejudice or favor but ne
is consistent when measured by the
right line of his principles. Parties
may change, and thus he, guaged by
the changeful buoys of the popular
tide. may seem to have changed, but
if his foothold is upon principle he is
ever self-consistent, and therefore his
position is strong one. Further
more, radicalism is strong because it
is so comprehensive. 1t reaches every
possible issue in any controversy. 1t
does not require new adjustment to
suit the varying emergencies of times,
and seasons, but is prepared for them
all. Every part of the ground of
right NAV be consistently claimed by
the radical.
Imperfect may be the application of
principles in certain parts of the field
of right, bat he who really is from the
heart a radical, may rightly lay claim
to every strong position upon that
field. His ground is therefore de-
fensible and safe. Again, radicalisn
is strong because it appeals to the
moral convictions of every man.
How much of enthusiasm it begets
for any cause, when its principles
commend themselves to the mora
sentiment, the heart and conscience
of its supporters. 1t matters not 81
much whether immediate success b.
attained or not, if only men feel tina
they are engaged in a just cause it i
worth far more than their half-wa
allegiance from motives of policy

reform is thus opened 10 the radios
and to no one else. Contrar

DUMrouNpEREp.-We are glad to see that
all sense of State pride and independence is
not dead 10 Radical bosoms. 1t would be
the saddest day that has yet dawned for the
Republic that witnessed the surrender of
State sovereignty, bound and shackled, at
the feet Of Congress. Some Radicals, how.
ever, think this already accomplished, and
glory in the idea. OF these is Sumner. On
a recent occasion in the Senate be took ex-
csption to the anti-uegro clause Of the Iowa
Constitution, which brought Gov. Kirkwood
up in reply as follows: u'll say to the Sena'
tor (Sumner) that il is mono Of bis business;
that it is the business Of the people Of Iowa"
Mr.. Sumner, says tho Boston Post, could
think of no old Roman who had ever been
addressed in such manner, and finding no
reply, after a moments hesitation smiled
feebIy, run his hands through his hair, glanc.
ed at the galleries, blushed and sat down.
He was amazed at such manifestation Of
Southern independence in Northern Radi
cal. Something Of the kind had not been
witnessed in the Senate since the absence o.
