SURRATT AND THE IMPEACHMENT.

SURRATT AND THE IMPEACHMENT. -
The New York World, says:
One OF the chief topics of discus
sion in radical circles just now is the
arrival of John H. Surratt, who left
Alexandria more than q month since,
on board the steamer Swatara. The
vessel is now fully a week overdue,
and some apprehension is expressed
for her safety, the more as she is
known to be able to carry but coal
enough to last her thirty days. This,
however, need cause no anxiety: for.
even should her supply of coal be
exhausted, she could easily sail under
canvas, and, unless met off the coast
by some severe storm, may be look
ed for at any hour at Fortress Mon
roe. The secret of this apprehen-
sion, however. has yet to be told. 1t
is designed to have the trial of Sur
ratt play an important part in the
impeachment business, and in this
way: Some leading radical lawyer
probably Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio,
who figured in the prosecution of the
other alleged conspirators, is to be
retained to assist in the prosecution
Of Surratt, who will avail himself of
this opportunity to rehash all the hor-
rible circumstances connected with
the death of the late lamented Lin
coin. This, it is believed, will revive
the intense popular feeling which
prevailed at the time, and by series
of well-turned inuendoes arouse n
prejudice against his successor, and
on the strength Of both the impeach-
ment matter will be pushed through
the House at once. Of course the
radical press will do its part in
this work, to say nothing of the
radical orators, SO that you need not
be surprised to hear of the formal
impeachment Of President Johnson
early in March. The radicals claim
that they have nearly enough votes
to pass the measure in the present
House, but they prefer to wait for
the meeting of the next Congress, in
which they will be larger popular
sentiment in favor of this high hand
ed procedure.

night of each day, to congregations generally
large, sometimes overhowing, and at all times,
profoundly interested and attentive.
Mr.. FLEMING is minister of Christ who wears

and beg his (Pope's) pardon, or he would
shoot him. Mr.. Bristow informed his excl

TIE Loss ON EttANClpATED SLAvEs-.MoRT.
cAGoR VS.. MoRrGAcEE.-We beg leave to call
the attention Of the legal profession, and Of
the people generally, to the following law
lately passed by the Legislature. of Virginia:
CONCERNING COMPENSATION FOR SLAVES.
"That in all p ocscdings, either at Jaw or
in equity, now pending, or which may be here.
after instituted, for the recovery of slaves or
their ralates, or damages for their alleged con.
version or detention, the possession Of whom
was in the defendant under bona fde claim
of right at the time of the emancipation of
the slaves in this Commonwealth by the Fed
cral or State authorities, the values or DANA
ges assessed, should the plaintiff recover, shall
be only the value of the services OF such
slaves from the time of the tortuous cunyer-
sioa OR detention to The period of their eman-
cipation." ,..,,.#,.e
If We understand the purport of the above
law, it settles the question in Virginia as to
who shall be the loser on emancipated slaves,
where the ralues of slaves are represented in
bonds or notes, either from sales or mortgages.
1t Casts the. loss on tho vcndee or mortgage.
The question this legislation involves is, we
understand, now pending before the Court Of
Appeals in this State. The legislation of the
State of Virginia sho"s wherein tine opinion
Of its Legislature, the equity lies.-0har.
