The grand jury OF the District have found a
new Indictment against John II. Surratt. The
new Indictment Is directed under the second
section Of the act Of July II, lsc2, which makes
II an offence punishabic by imprisonment not
exceeding ten year,, or by hne not exceeding
sio, 900, and BY afhe Hbcrdtionef al as siares, "
he hssfAen," OF BY both, TO stinoits, set on foot,
assist OF ensags In the rebeiiioo,'' and there
are counts charging the prisoner with con
spiracy at common law. II seems that there
Is no statute In the District Of Columbia abol.
ishing the common law distinction between
principals and accessories, and IL seems to be
. question Of great doubt In the profession
whether surrstt could be convicted Of murder,
unless he was actually present-that is to say,
near enough to render physical assistance at
the time the life Of the President was taken,
or until the principals were convicted.
Our readers may remember the important
and interesting legal question, whether Sur
rattcould not be convicted Of murder, although
he were at Elmira, New York, at the time Mr..
Lincoln was killed, provided the jury were
satisfied, from the evidence, he was q member
Of the conspiracy to murder or TO abduet Mr..
Lincoln, and performed the part assigned him
In the general plan. This question will be
avoided under the present Indictment, and
while the prisoner cannot be capitally pun
ishcd, the cause OF public justice may be vim
Dictated, In case Of conviction, BY ten years
Imprisonment, at the discretion Of the court.
It would seem strange that while many Of the
States have abolished the absurd distinction
between principals and accessories, Congress
has omitted to lcgislate on that subject in this
District. As the law now stands, It would
seem that a man may plan the death Of tho
President hire an assassin to effect II, take care
to be In an adjoining State, when the deed Is
done, and thus avoid the death penalty. The
facts attending the bringing In Of the indict-
ment will be found In our court reports.

some people are prone to cling to old and
obsolete ideas, and to worship what is In and
ofthe past. They seem never ready to recognize
new issues and living principles. but will con.
stantly turn backward and venerate the old
as though all that had been WAS still to be
and was worthy to be cherished and held In
grateful remembrance. Hence II is, that we
find this class Of people, now that slavery is
dead, still treating II As though " were alive.
They bow down to II and pay II as much re-
spect as they were accustomed to give TO II
when II was the ruling power In the land.
Like the Bourbons, they will learn nothing, nor
will they forget anything In respect to this In
stitution. On this account we find o great
party-the Democratic-perpetually treating
slavery as though 1t were alive. Their wor-
ship Of the Institution Is as intense, and as
blind and bigoted as ever. They are swaysd
by the same nunky and obsequious regard for
the whilom STAKEHOLDER as of old, and they
have lost none OF that hatred for nd eontemp-
tuous conduct towards the former slave which
actuated them Of old.
We shall not be surprised, therefore, to see
the Fourth Of July Convention resolve that
slavery, though In form dead, nevertheless
still exists and Is alive, and win continue, as
long as the colored race remains In this country,
As an institution to be respected and honored
by the superior white race.
or course, we shall be told all about how thi 4
Is "white mans government" and that as
"niggers" are not our equals In the social
scale Of existence, they cannot be free before
the law, because to make them free citizen,
is to mako them our equals, socially; a thing
which can never DO allowed.
All this we shall be told, and 1t will be re-
solved upon bv this aeIf-atvled Democra tir

JUSTICE TO THE LATE MARSHAL O'DoN-
NELL-A letter from Madrid says: Sc Mar
shal O'Donnell leaves no children, and his
title goes to a nephew. His very limited
fortune, amounting in all to less than $50
900 in Government securities, and small
country house called Somosaguss, not far
from Madrid, 90 to his wife, an old lady of
seventy years. In justice to his memory it
is but right to add that the story about large
sums having been brought by him from the
Havana is simply one of those many calum-
aies which so often gain currency in Spain
when political strife is rampant. 1t is told
that on one occasion he had worn his morn
ing coat almost threadbare, and his wife in
sisted on ordering a new one, in which, &C
eordingly, he once or twice made his ap-
pearance. But one day the lady found him
again in the old redingote, and expostulated.
lie assured her that it must be the new one,
for he had no other, but she soon proved the
contrary, and then it was found that, follow
ing his usual custom of giving his old coat to
his servant as soon as he got new one, he
had this time, by mistake. and without re-
marking the difference, given the new coat
away and kept the old one."
