THE WHEREABOUTS OF suRRArT.

A state trial like that of Surratt is not
very entertaining reading at this season of
the year, and we are not going to indulge in
any extended comments upon 1t, but would
simply remark that the government has, at
ter all, not succeeded in proving that Surratt
was in Washington on the day of the assass-
nation. True, it has endeavored to do it
out of the mouths of some thirteen witness
es, but only one of these witnesses had a
previous acquaintance with Surratt. We
refer to William E. Cleaver, who swears he
saw Surratt about p. NJ. on horseback near
the government printing office. Cleaver IS
admitted to be hard case, and his testimo-
nv alone would not be worth much. The
fact is, the governments witnesses as to
Surratts whereabouts are all hard cases
about equal to the notorious Sanford Como
yer their testimony is intrinsically suspi-
cious, and no acute, judicial mind would
base any judgement upon it. There is a
class of persons with q morbid craving for
notoriety, who always seem determined to
connect themselves with any criminal trial
of an exciting nature like that of Surratt.-
Of this class are the witnesses Fanderpool,
Cleaver, ct. al.
The evidence for the defence has pretty
clearly established three points in Surratt's
favor and in favor of the innocence of his
mother. 1t has explained the theatrical
.sgag" introduced in manner SO dramatic
on the conspiracy trials concerning the cry
"Ten minutes past ten ~ It has shown that
the house on II street, where, on the night
of the assassination, a woman opened the
window and asked some passing soldier
what was the matter, was not Mrs. Surratt' S
house, and that the person who made that
inquiry was not Mrs. Surratt, but Mrs
Lambert. Il has shown that it was not John
H. Surratt, but one of his pursuers, who
dropped a handkerchief bearing his name in
the railway station at st. Albans Vermont
These three links in the fiimsy chain O
circumstantial evidence on which an limo
cent woman was condemned to death have
thus been explained by the trial now in pro
gress.
Of course, however, none of the philan
thropic newspaper-concerns that convicted
John Fl. Surratt for assassination in advanc,
of any proof that he was an assassin, vii
change the verdict they have rendered, OIL
account of this evidence i'll his favor. No
will they admit as their great leader, Bel
Butler, did, that Mrs. Surratt was an limo
cent woman, and her murder by drum
head court, national shame and disgrace.

The question is raised again as to the lie,
gaity of the present session of congress-
The constitution says that a majority OF
each house shall constitute quorum to dc
business, and as majority of the whole
number of each house has not been present
it is claimed that the present session is who'll
ly Illegal. But radicals have SO little regard
for laws and constitutions we presume they
viii consider it legal. Radicalism gets along
swimingly with It's destructive doctrines unit
it gets into court---then it comes to full

A case involving, in some degree, the
question OF martial law, arose in thesupreme
court of the United States, in 1851. Mitch
ell vs.. Harmony, l3 How, l34. During the
war with Mexico, Col. Mitchell, acting under
orders of Col. Doniphan, had sized the priv
ate property of Harmony for the expedition
scemmandedsby the latter officer. Harmony,
who had been following the march of the
army as trader, after arriving in the Mexican
province of Chihuahua, desired to stop there,
but was compelled by the commander to &C.
company the expedition with his wagons,
mules and goods. The property was event.
ually LOST, and an action was brought against
COL Mitchell to recover its value. The de.
PENDANT urged that it was seized and impress.
ed into the public service from necessity, and
also to prevent it from falling into the hands
of the. enemy. ei i
The court on this point says: s
"There are, without doubt, occasions in which
private property may lawfully be taken posses
sion of or destroyed, to prevent it falling into the
hands of the public enemy, and also where mill
fary officer, charged with particular duty, may
impress private property into the public servic.
