Mrs. surratt's Innocence-R for Par
doning the Dry Tortugas Prisoners, etc.

The New York World publishes a
lengthy letter from Baltimore, giving
some curious and interesting details,
going to show not only Mrs. Surratt's
guiltlessness of any participation in the
plot for the murder of the late President
Lincoln, but the impossibility OF her
having had any knowledge OF 1t. The
writer also adduces strong argument to
show that DR.. Mudd, Arnold, OLaugh.
lin, Spangler, and John a. Surratt,' had
no foreknowledge of the assassination,
and that, of course, neither OF these par
ties had anything whatever to do with il.
He argues-and if the statements made
prove true it would seem effectually-
that Booth, the acknowledged head and
front of the conspiracy, only made up his
mind to the rash deed few hours before
it was perpetrated. On the Good FRI
day, during the evening of which the
President was killed, Booth rose at an
unusually late hour, and breakfssted
with young lady guest at the National
Hotel. He then walked leisurely to the
house of Mrs. Surratt, the writer sur
mises for the purpose Of making inquiry
in reference to John b. Surratt, who was
then in Elmirs, New York, and who was
a warm, particular friend. Here be met
and cenverssd short time with Mrs.
Surratt, who, as Booth left, took her un-
fortunate ride with Weichman to Sur
rattsyille for the purpose of collecting
certain moneys due her, whereby she
could cancel claims on her estate held by
the executors of the estate of the late
! Charles B. Calvert Booth, up to this
time, it is assumed, had not determined
on the assassination, and this was the
last he saw Of Mrs. Surratt on earth.
After leaving the house of Mrs. Surratt,
the writer in the World thus describes
the movements OF Booth.
Thence he took the easy, careless,
graceful stride which was one Of the char
ncteristics of bis street appearance, up
Peupsylvania avenue, aud thence 70
\ Ford Theaier, to get bis letters. At the
theater. Harry Ford, brother Of the pro-
prietor, thought to have q joke with
Booth. being on the best Of terms with
him, and said
"Johp. the President is going to be
here tonight with Gen. Grant They We
got Gen. Lee here ss prisoner, and he .
coming, too. We're going to put him IN
the opposite box"
AT the same moment Harry Ford

if there be one which would hang any OF
them: for men haste to betray when they
fear to be betrayed, and, if the case be
properly conducted, there should be little
difficulty in getting the evidence OF some
against the rest. OF course, the hypothe-
ais is that q dreadful crime, or perhaps an
act Of that rude justice which is called
revenge, has been committed. Ihese
men may be the survivors OF some frigh'-
full struggle, like those of which too many
Macao cooIie ships have been the scene.
Their own statement Of the European
crew deserving them must Of course be
rejected at once. Five men would not
take away two boats, nor would Euro.
pean sailors abandon q ship in gale OF
wind which had suffered as little as this.
These Cinnamon are not sailors. Ihey
helplessly drifted to the coast near
Nambu, and were taken up to Hakodate
by japanese pilots. The vessel and her
rigging was in such condition as no
sailor would have allowed them to go,
and altogether she had the appearance OF
vessel left, far at sea, in charge OF an
ignorant set of landsmen, and which mad
by accident of currents and winds drlfted
to a shore. The presence of quantity
of European clothes and other articles
unaccounted for, and certainly not likely
to be on board Cbinese-owned ship, also
makes against the crews story, as do also
the coolie contract papers, which, now
ever. it should be marked, the men gave
up of their own accord; when they could
hardly have failed to perceive that such
documents would be criminatory.. Ihese
coolie contracts are issued as the men
are shipped, and each man is thereafter
designated by the number upon the paper.
Some seamen's accounts have also been
found, made out of Italian, and the
supposition respecting the vessel IN
Hakodate "a natural one enough
| is that she is an Italian bark, that her
name is the Providenza, that she left
Macao for some port on the west coast
of America some time about July, 1867,
with at least three hundred coolies on
board. That the passengers rose upon
the crew, overpowered and killed them
all, losing doubtless a number OF their
own force in the struggle and afterward
from wounds. That, ignorant of navi-
CATION, they steered the ship back to the
east, having noted the steerage to have
been always westward but, sat up by
currents, struck the coast of Japan In
stead of China. The absence of the two
boats may be accounted either for sup
posing that part of the Cinnamon pre-
ferred taking their chance in them, oil
that thoy were lost in bad weather
What has to be discovered In China II
the recent existence of such ship al
the Providenza, and when and undel
what circumstances she left the Chint
seas. There appear to be too many clue'
of evidence to permit us to doubt thu
solution of the mystery-meanwhile
mystery it is to us at present, and
mystery for some time it must remain.
