The surratt TriaI-Charge of Judge
Fisher.

The SUrratt TriRI-Charge of Judge
Fisher.
WASHINGTON, August I'm the Surratt
case to-day, after some discussion upon
immaterial points, Judge Fisher charged
the jury at length, concluding his charge
as follows:
| know from the observations which
have been addressed to you you will infer
first, that a conspiracy formed in time OF
war 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 confusion, is treason as heni-
Gus and as hurtful to the people of this
country, as conspiring the death of the
King or Queen of Great Britain is to the
subjects of that realm.
I'd. Every person engaged in such con-
spiracy, as long as he continues member
of it, is responsible not only for the act of
treason, but for any murder or less crime
which may follow from it.
Sd. That the government may waive the
charge of treason against any or all the
conspirators, and proceed against them for
the greater crime of treason.
4th. That under an indictment for a MUIR
der resulting from the prosecution of such
conspiracy, evidence of the entire scope of
conspiracy may be considered in estimating
the henious character of the offense laid in
the indictment.
9th. That it was not necessary to aver ia
the indictment the fact that Abraham Lin
coin was the victim of murder, and was at
the time of its commission President of the
United States, or 10 prove it in order to
allow the jury to take that fact into &C
count in determining the henious charac-
ter of the crime, it being fact which the
court will take judicial eognizance.
9th. That he who does an act by another,
does it by himself, and is responsible for its
consequence in criminal as we'll as in a
civil case.
9TH. That although an alibi, when clear
ly established, forms a complete and un-
answerable defense, mere absence from the
Immediate scene of crime, resulting from
conspiracy unrepented of and abandoned
by the party, viii not avail him, if he
we're at some other place assigned him,
performing his part Of the conspiracy.
9Th That this plea is, unless clearly
made out, always regarded with suspicion,
and a circumstance weighing against who
attempted IL because i implies an admis-
sion of the truth Of facts alleged against
him, and thecorreclness of inference drawn
from them.
9th. That the fight from the scene Of
crime, the fabrications of false accounts,
and the onnosalnaanf of inzfruFnanfs of
violence, are circumstances indicating
guilt

Report of Commissioners of Immi-

grafton
New YORK, August THE report of
the Commissioners of immigration, rela-
tive to the deaths from cholera on board
Of the Austrian ship Giuseppe Bacarich,
says the bread was mouldy and disgusting.
There was neither sugar nor tea on board,
and the potatoes were insufficient in guam
tity. The treatment to the passengers was
most shocking, and the great mortality
among them was the consequence of the
bad food and water. There was neither
doctor nordrugstore on board, and all these
outrages and cruelties were committed to
save a few hundred dollars. The twenty
passengers who have died have been muir
dured, the report emphatically states, by
A. Strauss & Co., of Antwerp. The sur
viving passengers have been informed of
the legal remedy they have against this
firm for damages sustained and dead they
have lost. Several of them have already
engaged counsel.

Case of Frazier, Trenholm d co.

CHARLESTON, August THE counsel of
John Frazier & Co. have prepared a lengthy
answer to the bill of complaint filed against
them by the government in the United
States District Court. They deny the alle-
CATION that the Charleston firm was agent
for the Confederate government for the
purpose alleged in the bill, and rest their
case upon the pleading made by the Liv-
erpool firm in England, and upon the set
Element there agreed upon as a conclusion
in the controversy. The Charleston house
will move a dissolution Of the Injunction
restraining them from the use of their prop
erty. The case will probably be heard by
United States. Judge Joseph Bryan, now sit
ting in Greenville. Hon. Jas. p Camp
bell and Hon. A. J Magrath are counsel
for the defendants. 1t is understood that
Hon. Caleb Cushing will represent the
government. The case will probably go
on an appeal before the United States Su
preme Court
