| DESPERATE FIGHT WITH BURGLARs-A
| Robbcr Mortally Wounded By Acconpltces.
| In Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday MORN
| ing at l O'clock, burglars were discovered
in the coffee mills of Arbuckle e. Bros, at
Nos. 10 and 20 Water-street, by Angus Nc
| Cul!ough, the private Waterman. He
quietly left the house and gave information
| to the police. In few minutes three OIL
| GERS arrived, but finding that the burglars
| were six in number, two Of them went in
search Of further aid, leaving officer Nc
returned the burglars perceived McCarty
and rushed out in body, dischareing their
revolyers at him. The police officer re-
turned their fire, and felled one of them,
named John Irwin, to the ground with the
| butt of his pistol. The conlederates of the
| PROSTATE burglar paused in their fight
and repeatedly fred at McCarty, who,
unable to take the offensive, shielded
himself behind the body OF Irwin,
whom he raised in his arms for that pur-
pose. At this critical juncture Nc 'arty'S
| friends returned with assistance and the
ruffians, with the exception of Irwin, took
to flight. The latter was taken to the orll
street police station, where he was found
to have been mortally wounded in the neck
by bullet fired by one OF his companions
| When informed OF this, Irwin consented to
confess, and revealed to District Attorney
! NJ nrrs the name, OF his associates anu their
antecedents. His confession was startling.
! One of his "pals" is, he says, the muir
derer of a ship captain another is the
man whom, it is said, the late Superinten-
dent Jourdan suspected to be the murderer
of Benjamin Nathan, and the remaining
three are notorious deSperadoes, who have
all served different terms of imprisonment at
Sing Sing. Chief of Police Campbell and
Superintendent Kelso have had a long and
important consultation together, and many
experienced detectives have been detailed
to aid tue Brooklyn police in their search
for the ruftians.

Z =. UGFcINs - :.
Dom Piatt writea to the Commercial:

Dom Piatt writes to the Comm ercids:
If Surratt's story is true, and we have no
reason to doubt It, the conduct of the court
here, under Judge Fisher, and of the Gov
eminent. as controlled by the prosecutor,
was perfectly infamous. If Surratt was,
guilty Of completely with the assasslns OF
Mr.. Lincoln, Of course the country wanted
him punished. II, on the contrary, he was
not guilty, the country desired that ne
should be acquitted. This does not seem
to have been the spirit that animated the
court. 1t seemed determined to convict.
regardless OF evidence, and steps were
taken to secure this result; that ougnt 70
damn with in(amy forever every Official
connected with it. Surratts counsel sought
to prove that ut the time Of the assasslna-
ton be was at Elmira. OF course, II TINS
could have been sustained, It was NOT pos
sble to convict him OF having part IN the
assassination. His counsel, to sustain TINS
alib, relied upon two hotel registers, ana
one telegram sent by Surratt under the
name Of Robinson to Booth, whom ne sup
posed to be in New York. One OF these
Motel registers and the telegram could not
he found. and from the fact that the regis
ter preceding the one required and the re-
sister following were at the hotel, and that
the entire files of kilograms were perfect
except this one, the inference Is conclusive
that they were distracted by some inter
csted party. OF course this could only be
done by some one concerned in the prose-
cution. The remaining register winch the
defence succeeded in obtaining, Judge
Fisher ruled out, upon the extraordinary
ground that Surratt might have returned
from Canada subsequent to the apparent
date, and so registered the name. 1 doubt
whether in the whole annals of criminal
jurisprudence such a trial with such rulings
can be found. A thirst for blood seemed
TO animate every creature, except por-
ticn of the jury, concerned IN TINS pre-
tended investigation.
John Surratt was to be hung because he
was John Surratt. The censure tor all this
falls upon the presiding judge. The infa,
nous proceedings could not have continued
q moment without his sanction. 1t Is small
wonder, then, that certain Journals take up
the fight and strive to distract public atten-
ton by abuse poured upon the head of this
poor creature. judge Fisher is yet IN eX-
istence. He has passed from the bench he
diseraced to more lucrative position,
where, it is said, he is now making his for
tune.
But; all considerations of propriety aside,
this trial of John Surratt ought to he well
ventilated, and the shame of his persecu-
ton fixed upon the men who engaged in It..
The one remaining feature OF the pure
Government, given us by the Fathers, IS IN
the judiciary, and we cannot guard 1t with
loo much care. To permit such scandals
as this trial, to use tho mildest term, to 60
unrebuked, is TO demoralize the whole sys-
tenn,
