WAsHINGTON, July Gin the Surratt
trial the prosecution announced the
case closed. They have been unable to
/ find Mr.. Dull who desired to testify rela-
tive to the cipher letter. They closed
without prejudice to the right to sub
| submit motion hereafter for the ad-
mission of Dull's testimony.
! After a protractsd discussion 1t was
| agreed that Mr.. Rhodes be recalled
( also Ann Jackson, to whom the prose-
cution put some questions.
Mr.. Brady moved to strike out all
the evidence relative to Jacob Thomp-
| son, as he has not been connected with
the case.
Judge Fisher said 1t was not worth
while 10 cut the case to pieces and not
| let the defence go on and examine wit
nesses. All these points will come up
for argument hereafter.
Mr.. Brady submitted objections to
other portions of the testimony, but the
court ruled that il was not the proper
time to make objections.
Mr., Peirpoint said all the evidence
would be connected before the trial
was over.
Judge Fisher said that an application
to put in additional testimony could be
made at any time before the case was
given to the jury.
Mr.. Brady then opened the case for
the defence.
Court took recess until Monday.
NEW YORK, July 6.-The Herald's
Washington special says: 1 Hm in
formed that one of the chief points on
which the defence intend to base their
plea of innocence will be their ability
TO prove the contents OF Booths mystic
rious letter to the editor of the National
Iutelligencer of this city. That letter
it will be remembered never reached
the hands for which it was destined,
and its contents were never laid before
the public. On Monday last, Matthews
who was an actor here on the night of
the assassination was before the Judi
Ciary Committee and there gave testi-
mony which clears away all the mys-
terry attached TO the letter which Booth
wrote to the National Intelligencer.
That fatal morning Matthews testified
that he met Booth, who was on horse
back; that Booth called him and gave
him a letter which he requested Mat
thews TO leave next morning at
the lntelligencer office, if he Matthews
learned OF Booths having left town or
If any extraordinary event occurred
during the night.
Mathews took the letter which was
given him hurridly and with some Sc
verify of manner and had no time to
think about the strangeness of the re-
quest. That night when the excite
uent gre" 10 IuauneSS'il Ieulluueu ulh
of the letter and he went to his room,
opened and read it. 1t contained a state
ment signed by Booth, Payne, Atzerott
and Harold. The statement was that
they, had tried all in their power to
abduct President Lincoln but had fail
ed, and that they had resolved that
they would sacifice their lives for the
welfare of their country and remove,
by death, the President whom they con-
Sidered the cause of all its woes.
It will be noticed that SurrRtt's name
is not signed to the letter, and this
omission the defence intend to use as
proof that he had no knowledge of or
instrumentality in procuring the assas-
sination.

THB rapid depopulation OF Ireland
by emigration is beginning to excite the
attention of the statesmen of that coun-
try and England. In late address by
Mr.. Mcguire, NJ. P. for Ireland, we find
the following remarks in allusion to
the great loss OF that country both in
population and money by emigra-
tion:-
"The crisis is fearful and terrible
one. Hook on 1t with fear and aPpre-
hension; and L can only say that un-
less God inspires our rulers with wis
dom l am almost afraid of what is be-
lore us-whether very soon or in six or
eight years hence, as the case may be.
The only salvation that can see that
we can have for this country is to have
all its legitimate grievances removed.
to have the people say in their con-
sciences they have no cause to COM
plain, that they are as well governed as
the other portions of the United King
dom. Once that feeling of satisfaction
spreads through this country, firmly
believe Ireland would be one of the
most powerful arms OF the British en-
pire. Till that is done 1 as firmly be-
lieve there can be no pence in this coun-
try. y statesman recently aid:-'Let
Ireland be kept quiet for ten years and
It Will remove her evils L say, too. let
ireland be kept quiet; but cure her
first, First give her health and strength;
reduce the fever that is preying on her
and then give her ten years quiet. 1t
is the very thing 1 desire; quiet and
peace are the very things to deve;op
manufacturing industry in the coun-
try. tApplause.l
At tie same meeting one gentleman
said that it had been calculated thatthe
Irish emigrants to America brought
with them, on an average, eli for each
man, woman and child. Specific cases
OF even greater amounts were also cited
by others.
The returns OF the Registrar General,
which we find IN the Pail Mall Gazette,
add another illustration of the same
subject. Notwithstanding the fond
ness of the Irish for early marriages,
we find that in 1866 there was among
the Protestants in Ireland only one
marriage for every Ia PERSONS and
among the Roman Catholics only one
marriage for 2l2 persons. The rate in
England is one marriage for every 122
persons. The same is substantially
true of the birth rates. In Ireland 1t
was only at the rate of two and n half
to each hundred; in England the pro-
portion was three and half. The con-
clusIon is that emigration has carried
OFF the young and healthy, and Left be-
hind the old and helpless.
The question is one of interest, especi-
ally TO the British statesman when con-
sidering the duties of the United King
dom toward Ireland.
