1t is known to persons resident here, though
perhaps not to the country generally, that John
ii. Surratt had brother Isaac who was in the
rebel army during the war, 1t has Just come
to light that this brother went to Mexico i'm
mediately after the downfall of the rebellion
Nothing was known of him until October,
1865 when General Sheridan, then and now at
New Orleans, learned that he had appeared in
Monterey and crossed into Texas, with the
avowed intention of coming to Washington to
assassinate the President General Steele. i'm
command on the frontier very soon confirmed
the intelligence, and the Secretary of War
thereupon felt justified in placing q guard
about the White House, which was kept there
for some time. No intimation of the matter
was given to the President as it was feared he
would refuse such protection. He finally got
the idea into his head that the guard were de-
tectlves, and called the Secretary to account
in violent language. This led to an explana-
ton, and subsequent withdrawal of the guard.
Among the bills signed and laid before the
PRESIDENT yesterday was one very materially
changing the law relating to hdbe0s corpus
Under existing statutes, judges of the United
states courts can only issue writs in cases
where the applicant is deprived of liberty by
virtue OF process issued by courts of the Uni
ted States; but under the new law thew are ra
quired to issue writs in all cases where the mar
ty is deprived of liberty in contravention of the
constitution and laws of the country One of
the significant features of this law is, that the
whoIe system OF negro apprenticeship NAV be
reviewed under its provisions
George w. Paschal and quite a number of
other prominent Union men of Western Texas
have memOrialized Congress to divide that
state midway between the Brazos and Color
ado Rivers, saying that if so divided the west
