Judge Aldrich, of the Barnwe'l ols-
trict in South Carolina, refused to car
~ out the Jury order, No. 80, made by
Gen. Sickles before his removal. On
the 2lst inst. the term Of his court at
Barnwell courthouse, commenced. He
was then served with Gen. Canby's or
der, modifying order SO. He read it
in open court, and stated that it quite
as nagrantly violated the Jury law OF
the State as the original, and the same
reasons that impelled him to refuse to
enforce tie one, would prevent him
from carrying o 1t the other. He then
read IL military order from Gen. Can
by, which had just been served upon
him, suspending him and forbiddins his
holding any Of the courts of his circuit
Then rising from his scat he said:

surratt visited by his Sister.

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Washington on the 22d, gives
the following account of scene in Surratt's
cell: t0 y ,5ei isr.. s.iy9u3 Fl
Yesterday afternoon John Fl. Surratt was
visited at the Jail by his sister Anna, who was
accompanied by Mr.. J. 81. Bradley, Jr., one of
his counsel. The guards thinking it best to
prepare the prisoner for the visit, one of them
informed him that his sister would be up in
moment, when he exclaimed "Great God"
and burst into tears. In a few moments the
sister was shown to the cell, when they met
for the first time since the assassination, and
embraced each other, both giving way to tears.
They finally became more composed, and en-
gagged in conversation, during which he ex-
pressed himself as prepared for the worst. The
sister spoke cheeringly IT, him, telling him to
keep a stout heart The interview, during
which they spoke mostly of domestic affairs.
lasted about hall an hour; and after again en-
bracing each other, the sister withdrew, both
being much affected. The sister paid him an
other visit this morning, and spent little
time in his cell, in company with Mr.. Bradley,
Sr. The prisoner walks the corridor during
most OF the day, and appears quite contented.
He is non-communicative as to anything in
relation to the charges against him, but speaks
sometimes of his voyage in the Swatara He
says that he was treated by the officers of the
Swatara as well as he could have expected !;
that he was confined in room adjoining the
Captains cabin, which was very small. and
sometimes was allowed to walk on deck to get
exercise, but was not allowed to hold any con-
versation with the officers or crew, other than
as to his personal wants. He states that at
times, when the ship was in storm, they took
the irons of him to prevent him from getting
injured, and says that at one time there was
danger Of the ship going down. When he ar
rived at the jail his irons were taken of, it not
being usual to keep prisoners iroDed unless
they are OF a refractory character. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that the Judiciary Commit
tee would examine Surratt to-day upon the
charge against JEFF. Davis of completely with
the assassination; but the Committee have
not done so, nor is it likely that they will do
SO until it is known what will be the proceed
mgs against Surratt himself. 80

GOVERNOR SWAN AND THE SENAToRsHIP.--
The telegraph yesterday gave rumor to the
effect that Gov. Swan would not resign, but
that he would decline the United States Sena-
torship to which he was recently elected. The
Boston Journals special dispatch says in rela-
ton to the matter: fShould he resign his
Governorship and present his credentials as
Senator, Lieutenant Governor Cox would sue
coed him. In this case should the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee delay reporting on Govern
or Swans credentials until after the adjourn
ment of the Maryland Leaislaturean then re-
port that he is not entitled to his seat on ac-
count of the corruption employed in securing
his election, it would become the duty Of act
ing Governor Cox to appoint Senator, pro
tempore, and he would doubtless appoint his
friend Mr.. Creswell, whose present term as
Senator will expire on Monday next. This as
pect OF affairs makes it questionable to Govern
OF Swami whether to hold on to his present po-
sltlon or to resign and run his chances of be-
coming a Senator" 81 4-
