has been parading the name OF Horatio Sey-
mour before the country in spite OF the fact
of his positive defamation more than once

Aud the Dispatch rendered great SER

the other candidates, and enabled the dele.

THE COUNSEL OF THE UNFORTUNATE WOMAN
ON THE STATEMENTS OF MR.. AND MRS
TOYRY.
WASHINGTON. June 27.-Mr. John w
Clampitt, the only surviving counsel fol
Mrs. Surratt, having bis attention called to-
day to an interview with Mr.. and Mrs. Ton.
~, at Baltimore, published yesterday, in
which Mr.. T0nry Is reported aS having said
that "the statements os Mr. Ciampitt, Bishop
Keane, and Father Walter that General Hau-
cock had great sympathy for the unfor-
tunate woman Mrs. Surratt), and waited
until the last moment, hoping for re-
prieve, j. worse than nonsense" said TO
your CORES pondent that neither Annie Sur
raft, who is now Mrs. TOnry, nor Mr..
Tonry, were present at his interview with
General Hancock just previous TO the exc
cutlon Of MIS-. Surrait. AT the time of the
execution she (Annie) was IN Il room on the
second floor OF The arsenal. Her mother,
lust previous TO the execution. was in
a cell on the ground floor, and neither An
ME nor Mr.. TOnry was present when the
counsel parted with Mrs. Surratt, and said
goodbye for the last time. No one was
there but Fathers Walter and Wigett. Dir.
Clampitt. after leaving Mrs. Surratt, went
toward the east door OF the arsenal, and
there met General Hancock, who had just
arrived, and had the following conversation
" - -"ueneraI, did you come direct from the
President I"
General Hancock replied that he eva,
not Immediately"
MIR. Clamptt then asked him il there was
any hope, to which the General replied in
very sOrrowful manner, ~ fear nOt,'
and then in an impressive tone he con-
tinucd:
IL have fought all through this war, and
have fought through it conscentiOusly
[ have been in the very front Of the battle
aud amid the fires Of hell itself, and say to
you that would rather stand to-day amid
ts consuming flames than TO stand here to
day to order the execution Of this woman
but am soldier. | have been ordered as
the chief in command OF this department TO
see that these parties are executed, aud as a
soldier / must obey
The counsel further said that in 4 CONVEX
sation few days since with Father Walter
that gentleman said in substance that Gene
raj Hancock had not been guilty OF any I'm.
kindness towards him as the spiritual adj
wiser Of Mrs. Surratt. nor, so far rs he knew
personally, had he been unkind to Annie
Surratt; that he thought they (Annie and
her husband) had obtained wrong impress.

and has, am inclined 10 think, united ard

"What circumstances brought about

OWN"
~ am not able to say (speaking naively),
unless 1t was because he was the most popu-

In regard to DIR. MorfETT's absence from
tie Cincinnati Convention, it may be said
as contradiction OF all rumors questioning
his intention to support The regular Demo-
cratic electoral ticket, that he was absent
only on account OF sickness. That be
claimed his seat in the delegation, and
would have filed it ii his health had been
good, was abUudantly evidenced by the
fact that he sent letter TO the delegation
explaining his absence, and recommending
q friend from Harrisonburg as his alternate.

1t is generally admitted In Indiana that

from securing the first place on the ticket.
