TIE CASE OF JonN' H. SURRATT.-sub-
rmnas were issued Monday for both the
prosecution and the defence in the case
against John H. Surratt. The defence
issued ninety-six, embracing the names of
all the witnesses hitherto examined, and
none others, and including the Catholic
priests in Canada, Mr.. John T. Ford of
Baltimore, Mr.. Clifford, and others. These
subpmnas have been issued upon the in
dictment charging murder, the one upon
which the accused was formerly tried. The
suhpmnas for the prosecution, numbering
sixty-ninc, include Weichman, st. Marie,
Macmillan, and all formerly examined, aud
also three new namcG-yiz., II. T. Bevans.
Of RedwinF, Minnesota; Urinh Jamison, of
Mansne!d, oh..o; and L. II. Terrell, of New
brunsw'er., NJ 1t is thus manifest that
there iii be a conflict upon the first day
as % which Indictment shall be tried. The
defence will insist upon the murder indict-
ment, and the prosecution upon that charg-
sng engaging in rebellion. The prosecuting
officers say that they will not consent to go
10 trial except upon the last-named indict-
mcnt, and they seem disposed to admit
Surratt's discharge upon the first, and con-
tend that the minutes of the court show that
to be the fact.

GREELEY on GREENBACKs.-Greele says
It is time that Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. Morton,
and Cher leading Radicals, had defined
tllreir position. He tells the truth in the
following paragraph, which nevertheless is
amusing enough to those who foresec that
the whole debt is soon to be repudiated.
We quote
Here it is plain that Mr.. Thurman pro-
poses to pay off 81 ,300, 000,0 goo Of interest
bearing debt by simply printing off like
amount Of non-interest- bearing promises,
payable at no time and in nothing, and say
to the public creditors, Take these OF
nothing-your interest stops from this
day.' lie who does not feel that this would
be naked, unblushng villainy-that il
would pnt piracy to the blush and crimson
the brow Of burglary-must be destitute OF
moral sense. Mr.. Thurman knolcS-he
cannot but know--:hat the issue of s 800, )
OOO. GOO of new grccnbacks, with 10 provie
sion for their payment, would destroy the
value of Crccnbacks almost entirely. Such
an issue would not merely wipe out the ma
tional debit would wipe out oil debts
whatsoever. The trustee, the executor, the
guardian, would be enriched by the spolia'
ton of the widow and orphan; while tht
means of the poor deposited in saving:
banks, life insurance companies, etc, woulc
be practically confscated. Yet he calls OF
the people to pay their national debt, no,
5y earning, or saving, or any form Of self
lt2ial, but by naked fraud"

"THE WICKEDEsT MAN."--Another pray
er-meeting was held at John Aliens dance
house, in New York, on Sunday, and was
largely attended. The New York Tribune
says: .....
"The repentant dance-house proprietor
was the cynosure of curious spectators. He
manifested no extraordinary spiritual emo
ton beyond what he has already shown.
He preserved quiet demeanor throughout
different from the conduct which he is re-
ported to have exhibited at the meeting Of
last Saturday. 1t was then observed that
he was partially inebriated, and considera
bly, supplied from drinking too much of q
potent beverage. This failing of Aliens
has been the occasion of comment on the
part of his Christian friends. They repre-
sent that it is the only one of Aliens old
habits which he has not entirely overcome.
While he has abstained from profanity and
the other immoral practices, he has most
lamentably failed to leave off indulging in
strong rotations. 1t is said of him, how
ever, that he is sincerely DESTROYS of avoid
ing any Intoxicating drink in the future,
and his missionary friends have resolved to
assist him. His latest voluntary act OF
contrition has been to have large sign
painted, proclaiming his house as Mis-
sion and Home for Fallen Women"

GENERAL GRANT ON INDIAN AFFAIRs.-
The Chicago Post learns from a military
man who saw General Grant at Galena q
few days ago, at the headquarters of the
army, than an Indian war, including all
tribes east Of the mountains, is regarded as
certain. On Saturday General Sherman,
who has just returned from the plains to
St. Louis, telegraphed General Grant the
facts of the situation, and asked for more
cavalry to enable him to pursue the foe.
The request has been complied with, and
henceforth prompt and energetic movements
may be expected. The railroads are to be
carefully guarded, so as to preserve means
of communication, and a vigorous war is to
be commenced at once. General Grant is
thoroughly in earnest to make this war
short, sharp, and decisive.

MoRE ABOUT THE SEPTEMBER SESSION.
Gentlemen just returned from the North,
who convcrsed with members Of Congress
are Of opinion that quorum of members OF
the House will be here on Monday next.
Mr.. Mcpherson, clerk of the House, has
issued orders to his subordinates here tc
have the hall Of the House in readiness for
the reception Of a quorum, and to-day the
work of laying carpets was commenced.
The doubt now is whether a quorum of
senators can be got together. Thirty-fve
constitute quorum, and to secure it every
Republican senator from Maine to Missouri
must be on hand. The absence of quo
rum in either House vii send the session
over until Decemb"r, because it will require
the assent OF 10Th for n further recess

UNPARALLELED RAILROAD PROGRESS
The Pacific railroad hastens towards com
pletion. No peaceful enterprise Of ancient
or modern times was ever prosecuted with
such energy and persistence. The two
mountain ranges of the continent have
been successfully crossed, and within a
year we shall have unbroken communica-
ton between New York and San Francisco.
At the latest dates there remained only q
gap of $40 miles between the eastern and
western portions. The line is being ex-
tended from both directions as fast as labor
and means can grade and lay the track
the Central Pacific Company having put
down six miles in a single day. BY the
close of this year it is thought the gap can
be reduced to less than 800 miles, possibly
to less than 200.

The Pnraguaxnn Conflict

We copy the following succinct and com
prehensive statement Of the latest intelli-
gence Of the conflict between the brave and
indomitable Paraguayans and their adver-
saries the allies, who have not at all COM
mended themselves to the world by the
manner of their war upon nation SO much
their inferior in numbers:
The details of recent operations on the
Parana river show that the Paraguayans
were not driven from the powerful f0rtifca-
lions of Humaita, but abandoned them for
a new and still more powerful line of defen-
sive works near the mouth of the Tibicuari
river. Before retiring, however, Lopez in
fiicted most murderous repulse upon the
allies. Marshal Caxias discovered on the
25th of July that the garrison were prepar-
ing to leave, and he accordingly dispatched
a heavy force to intercept them.
The Paraguayans kept perfectly quiet
until the; allies had got within almost gum
shot range, when they opened most sweep
ing and destructive fire of grape and can
lister, which swept down entire regiments
Of the advancing columns and sent the sur
vivors fleeing back in confusion and dismay
to their lines. Caxias did not attempt a
second time to interfere with Lopezs plans.
The latter withdrew, and on the 18th the
allies occupied Humaita, finding 200 cannon
spiked or rendered useless, and about q
dozen wounded soldiers in hospital.
ga few days before, the Paraguayans
performed one of those daring feats which
have distinguished them in their memora-
BILE defence and elected the applause of the
world. Three hundred brave fellows push
ed boldly out into the river in open canoes,
and boarded and captured, in the face of a
terrific fire of small arms, two of the Bra
lillian iron-clads. They held them for some
hours, but were finally compelled to relin-
quish them, owing to the severity of an
artillery fire opened upon them from Fort
Taye. During the time Of possession they
kept the surviving crews of both iron-clads
locked up in the matches, whittier they had
driven them.
Z" Later advices from London state that
the allied army was on the march to lay
siege to Lopez's new line of defence in con-
junction with the fleet. 1t is probable,
however, that the plucky Paraguayan COM
mander has made preparations to meet
them. The whole conduct of his soldiers
thus far proves Enthusiastically that they
partake of all his valor and determination,
and do not look upon him as styrant.'
The occupation of Humaita has occasoned
much rejoicing through Brazil, the Argen-
tine Republic, and Uruguay, though with
it are mingled clamors for the removal of
Caxias because Of the previous disastrous

The real grievance of the United States was
the Indifference of England in the civil war.
and her willingness to see the Union dis
solved. Of this Americans were conscious
at the time, and they remember it keenly
now. They think we should have had On
active sympathy with the North, and that
the Confederacy, based upon human slave
ry, should have been ut once condemned.
They think the Republican party was the
friend of England, and that it was wrong to
have doubted the success of the Federal
arms. After all, the anger Of Americans
was due to consciousness of England's
want of sympathy in their peril. Seward
had refused handsome offer of settlement,
which should be credited to England; but
he now cuts the past adrift, as the thing is
as good as settled. Legal points will not
stand in the way, and the only thing to as
certain is the responsibility of England, and
to fix the proper indemnity.

lost one Of its best and most trustworthy

when speaking of him.-Ne,o York Rortd.
