THE sURRATT TRIAL.

Like all things else in this world, this
protracted trial has come to an end, and
the conclusion was such as was generally
expected. In saying that the people ex-
pected such an ending Of this tedious trial,
we do not mean to be understood that
our citizens as general thing are pleased
with the result. Some Of our people be-
lieve SuRRArr as guilty as JoHS WILKES
BoorH himself and they believe that ac-
cording to the testimony and in pursu-
ance of the mandate Of the law which
Furnishes murder with death, this person
ought to be hanged. In making this dec
laration we only state the views Of q
class Of our citizens.
On the other hand there is another
numerous equally honest-who be.
lieve in the innocence Of SuRRArT. They
think that he was probably in the plot
to abduct Mr.. LINCOLN, but that he had
nothing TO do with the assassination
They are firm in the belief that he was ab-
seut from Washington when the crime
was perpetrated, and consequently that an
abb was proved, on the trial. While,
therefore, there are some who would have
had him convicted and punished as muir
derer, others would have him declared not
guilty by the jury, and would have set him
free.
There is great and overshadowing
principle which is never to be lost sight Of
when men are tried for their lives, and
this principle is that the prisoner is enti-
tied to the benefit Of every doubt. 1t
does not matter whom the murderer's VIC
tim may have been-whether President
or an humble citizen. II his guilt in the
premises cannot be established by circum-
stantial evidence, such as is according to
law and evidence held requisite in all such
trials, then the man should be acquitted.
Prejudice, passion, political bias have no
place in such matters, and should never
be brought in, in determining such mo-
mentous issues as ore involved in taking
human life by the accredited ministers Of
impartial justice.
For proceedings in this case, on Satur-
day, reference is made to our local col
umns.

The county courts, whose duty IL is TO
revise and provide juries both for our
county and superior courts, in many coun-
ties have not made such revisals since
your order No. 32 has been issued. This
omission has not sprung from any disposi-
ton to disobey your orders. Your order
qualities as Jurors those who have been as
sessed and who shall have paid taxes for
the current year. The words current
year" have been construed as the present
fiscal year, ending on the 30th day Of Sep
tember.
IOur revenue act, section A, page IL,
requires the tax lists to be placed in the
collectors hands on or before the first day
Of July. The machinery Of our revenue
law makes II impossible that the clerks can

before the first Of July. The sheriffs
usually begin to collect about the goth Of
July, and are allowed until October to
complete collection and make return.
The county courts cannot know who
have paid taxes this year until the sheriffs
shall have MAZE returns at the first terms
Of our county courts occurring after the
lst Of October. i have no doubt all the
county courts will comply with your order.
The fall circuit Of our Superior Courts
is Just commencing 1t is believed in
many, and probably in all, counties that
the jury lists will not have been revised.
Two Of our judges, now in my office, on
their way to their precincts, report to me
that they have just consulted Col. Bonn
ford, and that he construes your order as
forbidding them to try any suit before Q
jury not drawn conformable to your order
No. 80. If il be true, as think it is, thai
the county courts have construed your
order as above set forth, the calamity will
result that no courts will be held on the
fall circuit in very many Of the counties
II you can suggest any mode Of avert
ing this calamity by telegram, will com
municate it by telegram to the judges.

ST. LOUIS, August lO.-A dispatch from
Fort Hays says that all the stock on the

Six men we're killed at the Plum Greek

A man, supposed to be a section hand,

Gen. Augur has gone West to examine

not think the Spotted Tail Indians had
anything to do with the late massacre.
He attributes the act to the Sioux and
Cheyennes.
The people OF Southwest Nebraska asked
permission to raise company Of volun-

Gen. Sully and Col. Parker report de-
fant and warlike condition Of affairs among
the Northern tribes. They demand the
possession of the country, withdrawal Of

an effort to induce the hostile Indians to
withdraw from the war path. They told
Gen. Sully and Col. Parker to do IL them
selves.
