SSS—SSSS=——————SS——— THE CONSPIRACY TRIALS. Proceedings This Afternoon. THE COURT ROOM REOPENED. When we concluded our report for the first edition the court room had been cleared in order to recall the witness examined with closed doors on Saturday evening. Upon the conclusion of nis testimony and the reading of his testimony of Saturday, the court room was reopened about 12 o'clock. Anumber of visitors were waiting for ad- mission, and in afew moments every portion of the room—with the exception ot thatoccupied by the Commission, which this morning is 2n- closed by a railing—was filled. Among ‘he visitors were Brig. Gen. Slough, of Alextn- dria; Paymaster H. Bridge, Chief of the Nav Bureau of Provisions and Clothing. A large number of ladies are présent to-day. The read- ing of the proceedings cf Saturday occupied the attention of the Commission anul fifteen minutes to one o'clock. Miss NogaH FITZPATRICK was the first Witness called to the stand :— Witness lived at Mrs. Suratt’s house in March last, and during ker stay there last winter saw Booth at the house with John H. Surratt. She also saw a | person there callea Wood who she identifies as Payne, She also identified Atzerott as having been there. She saw Wood (Payne) at the house twice. Atzerott she saw at the house for a short time, and understood that he staid at the house one night. Witness never saw Herold at the house. Witness went to the the- ater with Surratt and Wood (Payne) one night | in March, and oceupied an upper box. Miss Bean wasal<o with them, and while they were in the box Beoth came in. Baltimore the following day. y the OCourt:—Witness does not recollect which side of the theater the box was on. THE REVIEW. To-morrow and next day will be signalized by one of the grandest military dispiays of the world. Three immense armies—the Army of the Potomac, Major Gen. Meade; the Army of Georgia, Major Gen. Sherman; and the Caval- ry Corps, Major Gen. Sheridan,—will pass in review before the people, the President, and his Cabinet, and the representatives of all na- tions. There will be present those whose deeds are unequalled, whcse names are immortal. ‘We may scarcely imagine the varietyand degree of sentiment with which the grand army will be welcomed, but of all the thoughts suggusted by the occasion, the most imspiring reflection ‘Will be that {these stern, battle-scarred legions sre about to lay up their banners, resign their power and pomp, and return to the avocations of civil life, to enjoy the peacefal fruits of their sacrifices and heroism. Tnousands of distin- guished citizens are flocking to the city, and the review will doubtless be wimessed by a larger concourse of people thanever assembled in Washington befcre.

FLOM MEMPHIs, Fight between White and Celered Troops. Memvars, May 19, via Cairo —The influx of paroled prisoners here caused creat excitement among thecolored troops here.

Tae PUBLIic Sonoon DicrLay.—A different route frem that which was expected haying been selected for the troops during the review, the original pian of having the pupils of onr public schools all assembled on the grand por- ticos of the east front of the Capito! has boon changed, and the committee of arrangements have been obliged to reduce the number of cbildren to take part in the demorstration, All the primary schevis will therefore be omitted, and none but the pupils of the grammar, inter- mediate and secondary schools will be ex. cted to tarmout. The northeast portico will reserved exclusively for the girls, and the top and bank of the hill on the north side of the Capitol be occupied by the boys. As the soldiers march at 9, all the schools must be at the Capitol at Sf o'clock.
