SHOOTING AFFRAY IN KNOXVILLE
TWO MEN BADLY wOUNDEu.

We learn that on Friday night, about
seven o'clock, a serious shooting afray oc-
Cured in the st. Nicholas restaurant in
Knoxville The participants we5e Martin
" Bridyell, Chief of Police, and Joe. Will
liams, Of Rogersville, Tennessee, and for
merry from Ohio.
Bridwel, who is a large and powerful
man, accused Williams of using disrespect-
fol language concerning him, and asked
him out of doors. As soon "a they were on
the sidewalk Bridwell commenced choking
and beating Williams.
The latter, who is small man, but
brave and gallant, resisted as much as pos
sible, but he was almost powerless in the
hands Of his antagonist. After the assault
was over both parties re-entered the res
taurant when Bridwell attempted TO repeat
the chastisement. Williams then pulled
ont pocket pistol and commenced firing
at his assailant while he was choking him.
The first bail struck BridWell in the head
over the right eye causing a serious wound,
the second ball went through his left eye,
lodging in the head Bridwell meanwhile
had also drawn a pistol and fired three
shots at Williams, all Of which took effect
on the latter, one in,the arm, the second in
the breast, and the third in the abdomen.
Both men were still living yesterday in
a dangerous condition CHATTANOOGA Union.

1t my vote, not because ] approve of 1t in
the abstract or in the particular, but because

country from the perilous predicament in

Mr. President, If there be feeling which
should animate the heart of every Ameri-
can, it should be one Of generosity, mag
nanimity and charity for the men who, al
though they sought to break asunder the
cords Of the Union, are now looking with
solicitude 10 their being reinstated.
II there be feeling which should ami
mate every American citizen il is that we
should be, and nj the earliest period, peo-
pie one and indivisible, demonstrating to
the world that however alarming the few
last years may have been, and however they
were calculated to cause the lovers Of
constitutional freedom to despond, the time
has come, or the time will speedily come,
when the feelings consequent upon that
effort will have subsidized, and we shall be
brought together again and be seen in the
undisturbed exercise Of duties imposed mp
on us, and exhibiting to the world a people
great in war, and people capable of being
in the end, the war terminated, "a great in

THE New York World to-day adds its COM
ments to those of the Tribune and Times,
already published, in regard to the conduct Of
the Common Council of this city - .r-.
"The alacrity OF the cities Of New England
through which the President is to pass on his
wnv t5 and from Boston to proffer the courtesv
due to his official position is exceedingly COM
mendable, and puts to shame the conduct of the
Common Council of Philadelphia I'm rejecting q
proposition to welcome him on his passage
through that city. This action OF Boston and
other New England cities Is the more notice.
able, because 1t is no secret that the people of
that section are stoutly opposed to the political
views held by the President. As IL is the popu-
lar thing nowadays TO urge the extension OF
New England ideas southward, 1t is to be re-
Rretted that the idea of paying proper respect
not yet been pushed as far south as Philadel-
phia,n

The surratt Trial.

Tgoss who have followed the testimony in the
trial of John Surratt, now taking place in
Washington, will find it difficult, if not i'm
possible, to doubt that his mother, Mrs. Sur
ratt, was thoroughly implicated in the con-
spiraoy to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln. Her house
In Washington was the regular rendezvous OF
Booth, Atzerott, and Payne, with whom her
son was on the most intimate terms. She is
proved to have expressed desire for the death
of the President while she lived in Maryland.
On the night of the assassination, and shortly
after that event occurred she raised her win
dow, put out her head, and asked passer-by
what had occurred down town. These and
other facts, brought out on her own trial, and
during the present one, leave no doubt that
she was fully apprised of the contemplated
assassination, and contributed to its perpetra-
tion. Her reticence during her trial, and her
refusal to make any confession, was, doubt
less, owing to her knowledge of the fact that
her own son, as well as other parties whom
she wished to screen, would be implicated
thereby.
Should Surratt himself be convicted-and it
dees not seem possible for him to escape-he
may make full confession, and thus unravel
the deep mystery which surrounds the assassi-
nation. Should he do so, we have no doubt
that the most startling revelations would be
made. That terrible affair was not the creation
of single mind. If the truth is ever told, it
will be found that Booth himself was but the
instrument of higher and more responsible
parties. Had the assassination occurred, as it
was doubtless planned to occur, before the fall
of Richmond, and the final collapse of the Re-
belliOn, the world would have better under
stood the character of the transaction. Doubt
less the time, place, and manner of the assassi-
nation were left to the judgment of the imme-
diate assassins, but that the entire scheme was
known, endorsed, and planned by the chief
men of the Rebellion, we have never had the
shadow of doubt. Subsequent events have
raised suspicious of a still wider completely in
the wretched business, but probably that is a
secret which will never be revealed.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-06-22

can we say. judiciaIly that the levying OF war
ceases 10 be treason when the war becomes
formidableY That, though war levied by 10 men
or 1000 men Is certainly treason, it Is no longer
such when levied by 10000 or 900 0)O ? That
the armed attempts OF few, attended by no
serious danger to the Union, and suppressed
by slight exertions of the public force, come nm
questionably within the constitutional dehni-
tloni but attempts by a vast combination, CON
ironing several states, putting great armies In
Lhe neld, menacing with immiuen peril Lne
very life OF the republic aud demanding im-
mense efforts and i'm mense expenditures OF
treasure and blood for their defeat and suppress
sion, swell beyond the boundaries of the dehnt-
tlon, and become Innocent in the proportion Of
their enormity7"
Thus this vexed question is set at rest
for, although the defendants have an appeal
yet there is no doubt but that the views of
Judge Chase will be affirmed by the full bench.
1t is based on law and logic, and is the first
instance of the kind which has come under
the legal jurisdiction of the Circuit Courts
since the termination of the war. It was also
fully assented to by Judge Brooks, District
Judge Of North Carolina, and native of that
State.
