Itisead to think that thousands die annually wit the means of life and health almost within arm’slength, Many a weakling goes down tothe grave every day whom the tintely use of HOSTRP- TER’S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS woul have saved. It isa consolation, however, to know that this glorious Tonic—a vitalizing Hlixir without a single drawback—is preserving the lives of multitudes. In cases of general de- bility and prostration, it is producing effects that are perhaps more astenishing than anything heretofore observed or recorded in the history of medical treatment. Feeble, emaciated and de- spairing patients, whose powers of digestion Beem te be actually extinguished, recover their appe- tite, strength and spirits, under a course of the Bitters, with a rapidity that is positively amazing. All that the proprietors originally expected from the preparation was long ago thrown into the shade by its actual results. New virtaes, which they had never thought of attributing to it, are continually being developed in its application to newcases, As a preventative of diseases ef every class and a constitutional invigorant, it stands alone and unapproachable. my 29-29 MARK TIME!

LEE SE ay IT 1S AUTHORIZED BY THE REBEL AUTHORITIES, ee In yesterday’s Star we published an-abstrac, of the suppressed testimony before the court for the trial of the conspirators. The follow- ing testimony im addition to that already pub- Nshed will be found interesting, and reveals in a clear light the devilish ramifications of this horrible plot. TESTIMONY OF RICHARD MONTGOMERY. Witness has been to Canada since the assas- sination of the President, and met Beverly Tucker a few days after the assassination at Mentreal, three or four times; he said a great deal in conversation about the wrongs that the South had received from the hands of Mr. Lincoln, and that he deserved kis death Tong ago; that it wasa pity that he did not have it long #g0, and that it was too bad that the boys bad not been allowed to act as they wanted to, meaning the Contederate soldiers who were up there who had been engaged in their raids. Never saw Mr. Booth in Canada. (. Did any of these men of whom you haye spoken say that Booth was one of the men referred to by Jacob Thempson who was willing to assassi. nate the President? A Yes, sir; A. H. Cleary told me; I related to him'the conversation I had had, or a portion of it, with Mr. Thomp- son in January, and he said that Booth was one of the parties to whom Thompson had re- ferred; he said in regard to the assassination that it was too bad that the whole work had not been done; I inferred that they intended to assassinate a greater number than they snc- ceeded in trying to. Mr. Holcembe told me I would find Mr. Cleary to be the confidential, & sort of secretary to Mr. Thompson; Mr. Thompeon told me he was posted upon all his affairs, and thatif I sought him at any time that he might be away I could state my busi- ness to Mr Cleary, and that it would be all the same, that I could have perfect confidence in him; that he was a very close-mouthed man. Cleary when speaking of his regret that the whole work had not been done, said we had better look out, we are not done yet, and yemarked that they never would be conquer- ed, never would give up. He said that Booth had been there in the winter; that he thought that the last was in December; ke had also been there in the summer. The parties knew a very few days after the as- saesination that they were suspected of it; they were destroying & great many papers; they also knew that they were going to be‘in- dicted in Canada for violation of the neutrality laws & number of days before they were in- dicted. In my interview with them I assumed 88 my proper name James Thompson, and then leading them'to sup} that that was my right name, and that i wished to conceal itthere soas met tobe identified by Federal spies, 1 adopted other names at any hotel I might be stopping; I never registered Thomp- son on the book; I led them to suppose that I wished to eonceal that name, bat James Thempson was the name that the: apposed. was my proper name. My whole object in all this was simply to ascertain their plans Op the Government of the United States. atness frequently heard the subject of the raids from Canada upon our frontier and of the burning of our cities spoken of among these COREE ie ara by Thompson, Clay, Cleary, Tucker, Sanders and those men; 1 know that Mr. Clay was one of the prime movers in thg matter before the raids were started; they re- ceived the direct endorsement of Mr. Clement Clay, Jr.; he represented himself to me as being: @ sort of representative of the War Depart- ment; 1 do notthink they would hayeentrnsted those dispatches to me unless they had the fullest confidence in me; they represented themselves as having full power to act with- out reference to them, they respectively told me, both Mr. Clay and Mr. Thompson, that iney bee Tait Eawer 10) ct by their Govern- ment in anything they deemed ex; ientand for the benefit of their cause. et TESTIMONY OF JAMES B. MERRITT. Witness is a pbysician, and has been in Cana- da about ® year or nearly a year; part of the time at Windsor, part ot the time at North Bumfries, Waterloo county. Was in Toronto during the month of October or November last, and met there &man by che name of George Young: I believe he was formerly ot Morgan’s command, Kentucky. Also a man named Ford, ot Kentucky, a deserter, anda man name: Graves, from Louisville. Young asked me i I had seen Col. Steele before 1 left Windsor. Col. Steele, I believe, is a Kenthckian; what his given name is I do notknow. He had been, as 1 understood, a Rebelin the service. Young asked me if Col. Steele.had said anything tome in relation to the Presidential election; I told him that he had not; then he said we have something on the tapis of much more import- ance than any raid that we have made or can make, or something of that character; I asked him what jt was; he said it was determmed that old Abe should never be inaugurated: if I understood it right that was his expression; I asked him how he knew, he said he knew that he would not be inaugurated; they had plenty of friends, I think he said, in Washington, and he spoke in relation to Mr. Lincoln and used some ungentlemanly terms; called him a d—d old tyrant oreomething like that, I was in- troduced to Gorge N. Saunders by Colonel Steele. I asked Colonel Steele what was gging to be done, or had he liked the prospects of the Presidential election? Col. Steele’s expres- sion was, “the d—d old tyrant never will serve @mother term if he is elected.” Mr. Saunders said he would keep himseif mighty close if he did serve another .term. I was in Torontoon Wednesday and Thars- day, the 3th and 6th of April last, and in the evening of Wednesday I was on my way gomg foeme theater when I met Harper and Ford; they asked méto go with them und spend the evening, and I declined, as 1 was going to the theater; the next morning I was around by the Queen’s Hote], and I saw Harper, Caldwell, Randall, Ford, Chartes Holt and a’man called Texas. Harpersaid that they were going to the States, and that they were going to kick up the damnedest row that was ever heard of yet; there was some other conversation among us; I do not now remember what it was; nothing of any importance, till, in’ the course of an hour or two afterwards, 1 met Harper, and he said if I did not hear of the death of Old Abe or the Vice President and Gen. Dix in ten days I might put him down fas a damned fool; the sth, as I findion looking at my visiting list, and this was on the 6th. I think that Booth’s name was mentioned as being in Washington: but I do not remember Surratt az that time. They said they had plent of friends here, and that there weresome fif- teen ortwenty going to Washington. On the Saturday afterward I wasat Gait; Har: mother is living some 4 or 5 miles from between that and Paris;[ ascertained th that he had been to the place where he had been stopping, and Caldwell, too, nad started for the States. I went to a Justice of the Peace there for the purpose of giving information to have them stopped; his name was Davison; when I gave him the information he said that the thing was too ridiculous and absurd, or supremely absurd, to notice; that it would ap- pear very foolish to give such informa‘ion and cause Brrests to be made op those grounds, as it was so inconsistent that no one would believe it; he degjined tr issue any process. Ihaveno personal knowledge that Harper returned at all; I was in the Galt on Friday again, and I found there from Mr. Ford that he had been home on Thursday, and had started to go pack to the States again ; that was the Thursday after the assassination. Did you know whilethere one Colonel Ashley, arebel officer? A.I did not know that he was a rebel sympathizer ; he was a broker at Win- sor, opposite Detwoit. Some time last fall, cannot call exactly what time, Colonel Ashley handed mea letter, which hé said he had re- ceived from Jacob Thompson, asking him for tunds for the benefit of the rebels to carry out their objects in Canada, and he asked me if I could not contribute; he read me the letter: my understanding was that the purpose was to Taige means to pay the expenses of those who were unable to pay their own expenses to £0 er’s to the States and make raids. I so understood the meaning of the letter; I may have misin« reted it. I had a conversation wi . Olay in February ; I spoke to bim in.To! aboot the letter that Mr, Sanders had Sar edin Montreal, the letter of Jefferson He seemed to understand the natare and char- eptty Sbout it, and ays kid ne thought the ie thay end ir) justify the means, You say that when you mentioned to him the letter front Jeterece Davis approving of thi a sacsination he seemed to unders' it perfect ly? A. Yes, sir; he seemed. to tend it; Surratt was jinted out to me once; jt was in February, atrd I think in-Toronte; f did not eee him with any one; he was the on other side of t, and was 40 me as being S and Lam in¢lined it -was Scott wid pointed him gots (WL was pointed out; Scott, Ford, and m:; standing on the sidewalk; I saw two or three times. Q. With, whom aia vos Generally see him associating? Ans. not know that I could tell; I satat the table ‘with him once at the St. Lawrence ; Sand was atthe sametable, and Scott and Steele ang a self. Did yousee Sandersand Booth together? Ido not know thatI did any more thanat. the ae re were conversing with each other at t je, We all drank some wine at Mr. San-* Gers’ expense. (. Was not Booth recognized by them al] as their friend, and as fally com- mitted to any Snierpriss they en, far A. I cannot answer that question, for Ido not know. Q. Did you hear what Sanders said of Booth? A. I know what was said in the meeting; Outside of that I did not hear an persen speak particularly in relation to Booth. Q. Die you have any personal acquaintance with Booth yourself A. No, sir; I had seen him 8 good many times on the stage, and knew him very, well by sight. «. What Is the fall name of Harper of whom you have spoken A. George Harper. Gross-examined by Mr. Stone:—Q. Did yor see the man who wes ¢alled Harrison, and whom you now think is Herold, more than once in Canada? A. think lsaw him two or three times in February, abont the middle or somewhere about the 15th or 20th of the month. Q. How was he dressed then—do you remember! A.J do not. (. It is possible thata portion of that letter has been misap- prehended—l would like te have you state the main points init again? A. Mr..Sanders read the letter aloud; I did not read the letter myse!f; I think 1 stated that in the commence- ment the purport of the letter was that Mr. Davis did not wish to recognize any persons as his triends who were willing to subdmi: to be governed by Mr. Lincoln, conveying the sentiment; the language might be varieda good deal, and that the President and Vice Presi< dent, and some of the Cabinet and leading Generals could be disposed of; it would sat~ isfy: the people of the North; that they (the rebels) had friends here. That was staten in the, letter, I think; that was the meaning of the letter, the phraseology 1, perhaps, do not ex~ actly remember. The letter was read in February,aud I went on the 10th of April to see the Justice of the Peace. After the Justice of the Peace re- fused to accede to my request I called npon & Judge of the Court of Assizes, made my state- ment to him, and he said I shonld have togo tothe Grand Jury. After that I-did notdo anythingy Q. When did you first communi-. cate to theGovernment this intormation that you have detailed bere? A. I think itwastwo weeks ago te-day.. Q. What was your obect in keeping this so long to yourself? A. There was fo authority to communicateit to, Q. But as & good citizen you were bound to com- manicate it, why did you not do It! A. In the first place I was not here where I conid communicate; lama practicing physician in North Dumfries, Canada; it is some five hun- dred or six hundred miles from here. Q. There is a post office at Dumfries? A. Yes. sir; there is one, QQ. Thereis one at Toronto” and one at Montreal! A. Yes,sir. 4). Is that the only reason that you have! A. No, sir; E cannot assign any particular reason why I did not commnnicate it to the Government, though I was in porsession of the information with- out my ‘communicating it I understand. (). was itnot owing to the fact that yon are a Southerner in your feelings and affilations’ A. No, sir By Mr. Aiken: Q. From whatpoint did you communicate this information to the Government! A.In the War Department. Did you come directly here? A. Yes, sir; I have in my pocket a letter from the Provost Marshal General, stating that he had received. 8 letter which proved te have been written by Squire Davison, giving information of my visit tohim when I wished to have Harper and Caldwell arrested, and when on oon i of that letter they sent to Canada for me; tha letter is as follows: Wak DEPARTMENT, Provost Marshal Generat Bureau, Washington, D O., April 20, ’65.—7o Dr. J.B. Merrill, Agent, Canada West :—Sir— I bave been informed that you possess infor< mation connected witha plot to assassinate the President ot the United States and other prominent heads of the Government. The rhas been sent to present this letter to you and to accompany you to this city, if you willcome. The Secretary of War suthorizes me to pledge you protection and security, and ao pay all expenses connected with yeur jour- ney both ways, and in addition to promise a suitable reward if usefal information is far- nished. Independent of these considerations, itis hoped that the cause of humanity and justice will induce you to act promptly in di- vulging anything you may knoW connected with the recent tragedy in this city, or with any other plots yet in preparation. The bearer is instructed to pay all expenses con- nected with your trip Iam, very respectfully, your obediedt ser- vant, Jas. B. Fry, Provost Marshal General. - By the Judge Advocate: Q.It was under that letter vou came? A. Yes. Sir. By the Court. QQ. The Witness in giving the reason for his admission to the meeting of the conspirators in Canada, said it was because he was a good Southern man, and then in giving a reason for not communicating the information to the Government, he said emphatically that he ‘was not a good Southern man; how is that discrepancy explained? A. I said they ad- mitted me because I was a good Southern man, and Isaid it in sucha way that I thought it would be understood that I had made the impression on their minds that I was a good Southern man; God knows that Iam not a Southern man in sentiment, because I haye taken the oath of allegiance too often. OROSS-EXAMINATION OF SANDFORD CONNOVER. By Assistant Judge Adyocate Bingham:—I am instructed to make an inquiry of you in consequence of a question asked you by tha court, what conversation, ifany, did you have among the rebel refugees in Canada about the burning of New York city. and other Northern cities? A. There was a proposition before their council to destroy the Croton dam by which the city of New York is supplied with water; and it was supposed it would not only damage the manufacturers but distress the people gen- erally very much, but Mr. Thompson re- marked that they must have plenty of fires and the whole city would soon be destroyed by @ general conflagration and without send. ing Kennedy or anybody else tkere; and if they had thought of this scheme be- fore they might have saved some necks. Thompson, myself, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Oastle- man, av@ Gen. Carroll were prasent at the time. The plan was understood to be for the. release of the rebel prisoners at Camp Doug- lags. I think they said at Camp Chase, or whatever camp‘it was in which they were confined. I think they called it Camp Doug- las. I saw associating with Dr. Blackburn in Canada Jacob Thompson, George N. Sanders, Lewis Sanders, son of Geor; N. Sanders, x-Gov. Westcott,of Fla, L. Castleman, Wm, C. Cleary.I heard Dr. Blackburn saythat about & year before that time he had endeayored ta IMtroduce the yellow tever intoN. Y.. but fer some reason, which I do not remember, failed. He went from Montreal about @ year ago lae¢ January, to Bermuda, or some of the West Inaia Islands, for the express parpose of attending cases of yellow fever, collecting in- fected clothing, and so ‘on, and forwarding it to New York, but for some reason the seheme tailed. All these parties concurred in the en- terprise of Dr. Blackburn introducing the pestilence in the manner mentioned, and were all very much interested in it; and this time it was pro) d to destroy the Croton and Dr.. Blackburn proposed the reservoir, and made a calculation of the amonat of poisonous matter it would require to impregnate the waters so faras to render an ordinary draught poisonous and déadly. He had the capacity of the reservoirs, and the amount of water that was generally kept in them. . It was proposed to use strychnine, arsenic, and acids, prussic acid, anda number of others which I de not remember. Mr. Thompson, however, found it ‘would be im- possible to collect so large & quantity ef poison- ous matter without ex 8 and leading to the detection 5 er the scheme has been ent iy not £do not know. So far as the blowing w ot. the dam is concerned, it has not been. Ji Thompsom fully approbated the enterprise as did also Mr. Lewis, Sanders and Mr. Cleary. This matter was discussed i January last. L have heard it spoken of since among the same persons with ithe exception, by &> the to. poisom. otDoctor Blackburn. It was spoken 0! Mr. Montross A.
