The Surratt Trial,

Judge Fisher set aside the whole
panel of Jurors summoned, on account
OF the law not having been fully com
piled with. lie ordered 100 talesmen
to be summoned, many Of whom are
disqualified, or have to be excused. On
account of the Illness of the Judge the
case has since made little progress. A
jury was obtained on Saturday last, the
Court being held by Judge Wylie.

side on Monday, and the trial was prog

says he does not claim to be compensa-

The Convention,

The Constitutional Convention has
been diligently as work during the last
week /; and VIC trust will finish their
work BY the close of the second mouth,
or nearly SO. They have yet to consid.
er the two most difficult parts of their
task--thc Judiciary system, and the
apportionmcnt Of Representation. As
they have been privately at work ma.
turing these we believe, by this time, the
principal points have been agreed on.
The usury lava. Of the State have been
discussed, and as usual, considerable diff.
ference of opinion has been manifested,
and no conclusion yet reached as far as
we have learned. We are inclined to
think that it would be as well to leave
the established rate Of interest at six
per cent, which under ordinary circum-
stances Is as much as men eau afford to
pay, with the privilege Of increasing it
BY contrast as high as ten per cent
Perhaps all usury laws should be- abol-
ished as relics OF ancient error---money
being left, like other marketable com.
modities, TO seek its own level--bnt
there is SO strong prejudice. against
this that il may be safest at present to
compromise.

another opinion.

Ga the 24th ult, Mr. Slanberry, At
torney General Of the United States,
delivered an opinion, sanctioned BY the
President aud Cabinet, on the Military
Reconstruction Law for the South, dc.
fniug the citizens disfranchiscd there.
by; aud on the 18th. inst. he presented
to the President aud Cabinet an able
and lucid opinion as to the powers Of
the Military Commanders under the law
to remove civil officers. He says:
Il find no authority anywhere in ,i;s
act for the removal by the military CON.
mander ofthe proper officers Of State,
either executive on judicial, or the sp.
polntment Of persons to their places =
Nothing short Of an express grant O..
power would justify the removal or the
appointment Of such an officer. There
Is no such grant expressed, or even i'm
piled. On the contrary, the act clearly
enough forbids IT, The regular State
officials, duly elected aud, qualified, arc
entitled to hold their Offices. They, too,
have rights which the military commau-
der is bound to protect not authorized
to destroy"
Gen. Sheridan, lately removed from
Office Governor Wells, ofLcuisiana, and
Judge Abel, of New Orleans, and APP
pointed private individuals to I'll their
places. He has i1terfcred in many 9TH
er cases, aud other commanders have
been Going the same thing. As the
President is Commander in Chief, We
presume these parties will be reinstated
in Office. The Radicals are getting
alarmed at the effectiveness Of their
law, aud Thaddeus Stevens is out in
letter for Congress to meet in July to
pass some explanatory or supplementary
laws He would like to deprive the
President of having anything to do with
understanding the law.
\ correspondent of the Baltimore.
Su' says that the Cabinet met on Mon
day TO consider what course should be
taken upon the acts of the Southern
military commanders in the removal of
State officers &c. AMI remarks as follows:
Applying the legal opinion and con
struction Of the Attorney General to
the facts, it is understood that the Pres
ident aud Cabinet are clearly decided
upon reyokiug the military orders spe-
cially referred to in the Attorney Gen
erals opinion, aud it is probable that
such revocation will take place within
few days, aud, as a consequence, res
toring the civil officers heretofore re-
moved. Much of this will necessarily
be done by correspondence with the
military commanders, all Of whom have
asked instructions upon their acts, or
submitted reports of them for approval
or disapproyal by the Executive.
The generals in command, save Gen
Sheridan, concede the authority Of the
President to supervise their action, aud
recognize his power, under this super
visory discretion, toreyoke their orders;
and hence some of them have asked in-
structions, in order that uniformity of
action and ruling pertaining thereto may
be attained throughout the ten districts.

lyi and we feel perfectly satisfied that
the North will get their eyes open to
the real designs Of the Radicals, aud
come to the rescue ofthc Unipa, now
in danger from another dircStion; aud
that our government viii be recommit-

preserve il pure and nudeliled as il was

Why the President svas not
Impeached.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Commercial writes as follows:
ave suspect that one of the stron.
gest reasons for not urging impeach-
ment at this time is that it Ben. Wade
got into the Presidential chair he could
not be got odt until 1872. This would
spoil the little plans OF Colfax 4 Co..
for the nomination Ia 1868. We have
always believed that il Mr.. Fesscuden
had been elected yice.president instead
of Wade, the President would have
been impeachcd, for Mr.. Fessenden
would not have been in auybody's way
in 1868. Certain il is, that men who,
but the day before, were fierce for i'm.
parchment, no sooner did they find Mr..
Wade the Vice-president than they
turned around and became erninen,ly
conservative or openly against that
measure. Curiously enough all the
gentlemen thus Infected were either
candidates for the Presidency or expec-
ted TO be. O.e Of them, when asked
BY friend about it, and who no doubt
represented the views Of the Others.
said Well, sir, was for impeachment,
but when old Ben. Wade was elected
Vics-president | went against il, for you
know ! have some ambition, aud IL that
old devil ever gets into the Presiden.
tial chair, We can't get him out until he
dies.'
