THE TRIAL OF THE COLUMBUS PRISONERS
nTnE CASE FOR THE PROSECUTION BASED
on BALD PERJURY. 1.-The trial of the Column
bus prisoners still excites the deepest lnte-
rest among all classes Of the community.
The general opinion, without distinction OF
party, is that the case for the prosecution Is
based OH bald perjury, and that the de-
fence has already triumphantly proved the
innocence Of the prisoners. | have heard
all sorts of people express this opinion, and
the belief grows in strength that General
Meade will dissolve the court and put an
end to the case. Mir. Joseph Z. Brown;
who is supposed by many to have accepted
a heavy fee to prosecute the accused, and
who has worked zealously, and got up the
testimony to procure a conviction, Is being
severely handled by the press aud public
opinion. His warmest friends now de-
nounce him and pass him in the street
without notice. They think that when ne
discovered the nature Of the testimony, ana
heard the evidence for the defence, he should
have withdrawn; or, even if he had not
done this, that he should have retralued
from an insulting and not altogether decent
cross-examination of some ladies OF high
standing and culture, who were produced
to prove, as they did beyond doubt, that
one of the accused, Dr.. kirksey, never leit
his house in the country on the night OF
Ashburn's murder.-Ertract from the AZ

ATTEMPT TO MURDER HIS MISTRESS AND
THEN COMMIT SUICIDE.-Almost a tragedy
occurred at house of wide reputc, kept by
one Annie Howard, at the intersection of
street north and New York avenue, on
Saturday morning, between the bewltchlng
hours of | and 2 o'clock. The attention Of
officer Edmonston, of the Third Ward, was
attracted to that locality by the repeated
discharges of II pistol, and he fastened to
ascertain the cause. On entering the house
above named, he found that man named
Lewis Wilmington alias George Davis
had shot himself in the right temple,
the wound appearing to be danger
Gus one. Upon making inquiry, he ascer-
tained that this man, during several weeks
past, had been enjoying the unbounded (o
bliss of Annie Iloward's mpanionship.
On going there on the night in question An
mic informed him that it would be neces-
-arv for her to drop her further association
with him. This, it appears, 50 enraget
him and aroused his jcalousies that he
drew Il revolver and fired three times at the
cruel Annie, every shot failing to take et-
feet OH her. He then tried his skill on
himself, and succeeded III putting pistol
ball into his right temple, rs above stated.
Dr.. Latimer was called III, and succeeded
in extracting the ball, he pronouncing the
wound Il severe one, which would make 1t
dangerous to remove him at present. SO he
vet remains Mt the house. He is under ar
rest, and Lieutenant Hurley and Justice
Clark on Saturday repaired to the house,
where the evidence concerning the case was
heard. The result is that accused stands
committed on the charge Of assault and
battery on Annie Howard with intent to
kill her. An officer is placed there in
charge of accused, and as soon rs he re-
covers sufficiently he viii! be taken to Jail
to be held for trial -lIaShjngton Repubh-

WASHINGTON, July 90, 1868.
THE PRESIDENT ENGAGED IN SIGNING
BTLLs-THE TAX BILL NOT AMONG TIE
NUMBER.
The President to-day approved and signed
sixty acts and joint resolutions of Congress,
most of them being for personal relief and
for pensions. The tax bill was not among
the bills signed, though it was reported and
generally believed this evening that that
net had received the Executive approval.
Although there are several important OBJ
jections to this bill, and the President is
urged on plausible and well-sustained argu-
ments not to give his approval to the mea-
sure, there is little if any doubt that he will
sign the bill, or permit it to become law
without his signature.
THE BANQUET TO REvERDY JOHNSON.
A number of persons Of note and Of high
official position propose to leave here to-

has been during the heated term extraordi-
nary, both by night and day. Tonight
the White House was literally crowded with
visitors, notwithst anking the oppressive
weather. The President refused audience
to these importunate and untimely visitors,
and proposes not only to forbid visitors to
come to the Executive mansion here
after at night unbidden, but to refuse to
see applicants for office, and refer them to
the appropriate member Of the Cabinet for
the settlement of their applications.

The ELECTORAL VoTE.-1n speaking of
the Radical schemes for tampering with the
counting of the electoral vote, the New
York World of Saturday says:
cit is proper that the usurping dema-
gogues in the Federal capitol should be
warned in time against proceeding to such
extremities that forbearance would cease
to be q virtue. The actual majority of the
citizens of the United States must have q
fair opportunity to decide who shall govern
the country. If thewill of the majority is
defeated by political knavery they will
have power being majority to redress
the wrong, and Congress mistakes the tenn
per of American freemen if it supposes
that they will not have also the aoW. If we
are fairly beaten after an honest election,
weunderstand and shall practice the proper
virtue of minority-submission But we
shall not tamely submit to be cheated. If
the Republican party administering Govern
ment for the next four years, it must be in
virtue of an actual majority, not fictitious
majority obtained by prescription and ex-
clusion. The physical power of the coun-
try resides with the arithmetical majority,
and as the Constitution has provided no
other tribunal for deciding on the claim Of
electoral votes to be counted, it concerns the
peace of the country that Congress do not
interfere to prevent the voice of the actual
majority from deciding who shall be Presi-
dent.
"This warning cannot be construed as a
threat without a confession that the Repub-
licans intend TO- stitle votes that ought to be
counted, and to declare their candidates
elected even though they should receive but
q minority of the whole number of electo-
raj votes. In the interest of peace, we be-
seech them to permit fair election"
