THERE is deep significance in the fact
that in all the late revolutionary eruptions in
England the surging masses chant the stri-
king battle-lyric of our army, John Brown $
Soul is Marching On. +" All the recent
troubles and upIisings in the British empire
no matter what their immediate cause, are
at bottom a protest of the people against
the class government which has so long de-
prived them of their natural and inalienable
rights, and this spontaneous adoption Of the
hymn of our latest struggle for freedom is an
unconscious and instructive acknowledgment
of our leadership in the cause Of human
lberty.-Philadclphia Press

The ,Swran Trial. = Gen. Siiekies' Letter.
--.Inh Session Of C0agIess

WASHINGTON, June "a The Surratt
trial is progressing slowly The defence are
evidently nonplussed at the course OF the
prosecution, and do not seem to appreciate
the importance Of the testimony now being
taken The defence, it is understood, expect
to prove that Surratt was al Elmira, N. \
on the l4th Of April, and that he left there
on the 18th, but the mute witness, the
handkerchief found at Burlington, Vt, on
the evening of the lTth of April, dispels this
theory, inasmuch as it was impossible for
him, if at Elmira to have reached Burline-
ton ON the 18th Of April, so that he must
have arrived there from some place other
than Elmira The defence however win
contend that the handkerchief was not
dropped By Surratt at all, but by a detec-
tive who went to Canada in pursuit of him.
This effort will also be destroyed for the
simple reason that ii can be shown that the
aforesaid detective did not reach Burlington
before the 10Th of April
General Grant returned to the Army
Headquarters to-day, and found awaiting
him letter from General Sickles, asking TO
be relieved of his command. 1t is gener-
ally agreed that the request will not be COM
piled with. The following is the letter
of General Sickles in which he asks to be
relieved
CHARLESTON, June 10.
To dke 1oJutdnt General Of The Army,
WaShmgtoR- | have the honor to request
that may be relieved from the command
in this military district. | respectfully de-
mand Court of Inquiry upon my official
actions, that / may vindieate myself from
the accusations Of the Attorney General,
published, il is presumed, with the approy-
al of the President. Congress having de-
clared these so called State Government IL
legal, the declaration of the Attorney Gen
eral that military authority has not super
ceded them, prevents the execution Of the
reconstruction act; disarms me of the means
to protect the life, property or rights Of
citizens, and menaces all with ruin.

water and has power to call down the seals
and walrusses when she is angry; SO the
Esquimax try to propitiate her by throwing
salt meat into the water, thinking if she is
well fed she will be good natured They
were described as peaceable, well disposed
people deserving sympathy, but rapidly dy-

climate. DR.. Hayes says that one or two gen.

Greenland. In the Southern part, they are
more civilized, quite Christianized, and lead
useful lives, by hunting, selling furs &c. to

New York, june 20.-By way of Ha-

Santa Anna, to the effect that he landed at
Vera Cruz on the 4th inst, but was imme-
diately compelled to re-embark The steam
er Virginia, on which he had taken passage,
then left for the port OF Sisal, but on arriy-

Liberal gunboats General Santa Anna was
forcibly removed from the ship BY the Lib

subjected to a summary trial before a court

The manhood suffrage plank causes as much
enthusiasm in the ranks as did an order to
advance in our army in the field It is an
order demanded by the people, and duly
authorized by their officers and agents in
convention assembled, for the great Union
army to take up an advanced position,
where they can fight the enemy in closer
quarters.

TEXAS. Already we have echoes Of the
President interference with reconstruction,
in reports that judges in Texas have refused
to receive the testimony of negroes, and de-
clare the law unconstitutional, and refuse to
recognize any authority except that of the
State Of Texas. General Sheridan has re-
ported the condition Of things in that State
to General Grant, and has stated that he re-
CARDS it as necessary to remove Governor
Throckmorton and other officials, but Gen
eral Grant replied that the President and
Cabinet were discussing the question of his
power to remove civil officers, and that he
had better wait for their decision. The de-
cision has been rendered According to the
Attorney General, the Cabinet and the Presi-
dent, these judges who refuse to recognize
any authority except that of the State of
Texas cannot be removed by anybody, We
shall see whether Congress viii permit its
legislation to be repealed in this fashion

SUN STROKES are again reported from va
rious parts of the country, and the approach
of the heated term should warn people ex-
posed to the rays of the sun to take care Of
themselves, In New York last week several
cases were reported 1t will be remembered
that last summer there we're, in different
parts Of the country, on some days, extraor.
dinary lists of deaths from sun stroke, and
many were the suggestions put forth in the
newspapers for avoiding its fatality. Ii
would be well for those who are compelled tc
be much in the sun, to adopt some such
simple expedient as a wet handkerchief in
the hat, or shade of some sort. Those
who are compelled to work out of doors
might, in many cases, by little exercise
of ingenuity, erect some shading that
would keep the fiery rays out of their
brains.

For the FIRST time in the history of our
nation, there was published yesterday an
official report of the proceedings Of the
President Cabinet in council. 1t is morti-
flying to add that this unusual proceeding,
like almost everything else that emanates
from Andrew johnson, was weak and hu
initiation attempt to divide with other
shoulders the burden of the unpalatable and
unpatriotic Stansbery opinion. The Presi-
dent felt that, for this blow at the country,
he must make some defence before the peo-
pie, and, accordingly, we have this pitiful
dragging out of plant Cabinet to strength
en- the position of the consciously guilty
Executive. The people regard the whole
shameful spectacle with contempt All the
Cabinets that Mr.. johnson could have; all
the votes Of all the Wells aud Randalls that
could be created, would give no weight to
this opinion or commend it to the counte-
nance or respect of the people. This Cabi,
net council, so ostentatiously exhibited, is
but weak device in the President to ward
off public opprobrium and tacit confession
of error. -T1hHadelphia Press

4 NErTRATs OPINION OF Gov GE,R

4 NEuTRALs 5 OPINION OF Gov. GEARY.
The Gcrm0Htoua 3dcgraph is a neutral
journal which never NEEDLES with partisan
politics and seldom has anything to say con-
cerning politicians Hence, when it does
refer to a public man, we have a right to
value its candor highly. The following is
its estimate of Gov Geary, elected BY the
late visit of the Governor to Philadelphia:
Gov. Geary spent last week in Pbiladel-
phia visiting the public institutions, includ-
ing some Of our schools, also the navy-yard,
where he was received with salute, League
Island, dc. He was everywhere welcom-
ed with the greatest cordiality, and on sever
al occasions he made short addresses The
Governor, apart from his distinguished
military record, is extremely popular among
the people. His high integrity and earnest
desire to promote the best interests of the
community, free from selfish purposes, have
taken hold of his fellow-citizens and sunk
deep in their hearts; hence the heartiness
Of the demonstrations of honor and esteem
which meet him on every side whenever he
appears in public

GALVESTON, Texas, June 22.-The opin-

bringing forth evil fruit. The spirit of re-

who was removed by Gen. Griffin, for Rebel
proclivitjcs, refuses to recognize military
authority.
The uuearthing Of an immense villainy
has BEGUN here During the war the Rebel
legislature ordered a sweeping and complete
oJntiscatiou ofall property. real and personal
held by loyal men. The act was enforced
with remorseless vigor; property valued at
more than sixty millions was seized aud sold;
Judge Devine, just pardoned by President
.juhn,un, decreed more than three thousand
sales, The Rebel Records are imperfect
and blind, and do not show the names Of the
purchasers. Immense sums were distracted
by the Receivers. The confscatious Of
Cromwell in Ireland do not equal this in ex-
tent aud cruelty. Gen. Griffin is urged to
probe this huge spolation to the bottom.
