WASHINGTON, September 24.-In the
Surratt case, counsel for the defense en-
tered a plea that the statute o limitatious
was in force providing that an offense
must be prosecuted within two years.
The prosecution contended that the
prisoner, having already made q special
plea, is detained from claiming the ben
eft Of the limit. After hearing argu-
ments on both sides, Judge Wylie dis.
charged Surratt from custody, sustain
ing the plea Of the counsel that the stat
ute of limitations applied to his case.
It was intimated by the District Attor-
ney, Darlington, that n new indictment
will be found at the next term Of the
Court. He filed an appeal from the de-
cision Of the Court. 1t is believed that
no further attempt will be made to try
Surratt, owing to the great expense the
Government has been to in former
trials.
The Star says it has good reason to
believe that the cause Of the protracted
session of the Cabinet yesterday was on
the discussion whether there was o scs-
sion of Congress on the 2lst instant, the
question being If there was n session,
oil appointments made during the re-
cess had terminated, and the Offices
were vacant. Tho President held that
he had not been notified Of any session,
and therefore did not recognize that
there had been any.
