AIKEN. ee Upon the conclusion of Mr. Doster’s argu- Ment yesterday in behalf of Atzerodt, Mr. Aiken read the argument in behalf of Mrs. Surratt, commencing as follows: For the lawyer, as well as the soldier, there is an equally pleasant duty, an equally im- perative command. That duty is to shelier from injustice and wrong the innocent: to pro- tect the weak from oppression, and to raily, at all times and on all occasions when necessity demands it, to the special defense of those whom nature, custom or circumstances may have placed in dependence upon our strengto, honor or cherished regard. That command emanates and reaches each class from the same autnori- tative source. Itcomes from a Superior whose right to command none dare question, and none dare to disobey In this commana there is nothing of that lex talionis which nearly two thousand years ago nailed to the cross its Divine Author. “There- fore all things whatsoever ye would that men sheuld do to you, do ye even go unto them, for this is the law and the prophets.” God has not only given us life but has filled the world ‘with everything to make life desirable, and when we sit down to determine the taking away of that which we did not give, and which, when once taken, we cannot restore, we consider a subject the most solemn within the range of human thoughtand human ac- tion. Profoundly impressed with the innocence of our client, we enter upon this last duty in her case with the heartfelt prayer that her hon- orable judges may enjoy the satisfaction of not having a single doubt left on their minds in granting her an acquittal, either as to the tes- timony affecting her or by the surrounding circumstances of the case. After alluding to the argument of Hon. Rey- erdy Johnson, whom he styled the «grande de- cus columenque’’ of his profession, Mr. Aiken discussed with much particularity the pien of reasonable doubt, and in applying the rules which obtain in civil courts to courts-martial, and that they must be governed in the accep- tance and analysis precisely by these reason- able rules of evidence, that time and experi- ence ab autico, surviving many ages of judicial wisdom, have unalterably fixed as guides in the administration of the criminal law. Mr. Aiken here quoted many authori- Ues sustaining his positions. He claimed that if Mrs. Surratt could be found guilty io a civil courtshe might be convicted here. He then stated that for private and public reasons it was highly desirable that the findings of the Court should be sustained by sufficient evi- dence. If they were, the public would over- look any irregularity that might be supposed to exist. He stated that the case was wonderfully barren of even circumstantial evidence against Mrs. Surratt; but all that was circumstantial by no means connected her with guilty knowl- edge or guilty intent. He then inquired what these facts were, the character of tRis evidence in support of them, and of the witness, and whether they were eonsistent with a reasona- ble theory by which guilt is excluded. The character, scope and tone of the argu- ment can be gathered from the remarks near the close, viz:—A mother and son. associated in crime, and such 4 crime as this half of the civilized world never saw matched in all its dreadful bearings. Our judgments can have hardly recovered their unprejudiced poise since the shock of the late horrors; if we can contemplate with credulity such a picture con- jured by the unjust spirits of indiscriminate accusation and revenge; a crime which aR private muser: yrould hewe urivem SV! the effec hauited neart of a Medici, a Borgia, or a Madame Bocarmi to wild confusion before its accomplishment, and daunted even that soul, of all the recorded world, the most eager for novelty in license and most unshrinking in sin the indurated soul of Christiana, of Sweden; such a crime as profoundest plotters within padded walis ‘would scarcely dare whisper; the words form- ing the expression of which spoken aloud in the upper air would convert all listening boughs to aspens, and all glad sounds of nature to shuddering wails, and this made known even surmised to 8 woman & ‘mater familias.” The good genius, the *‘placens uxor” of a home where children had gathered all the influences of purity and the reminiscences of innocence, where religion watched and the church was minister and watcher, who were circumstan- tal evidence strong and conclusive, such as only time and the slow-weaving fates could elicidate, and deny. Who will believe, when the mists of uncer tainty which cloud the present shall have dissolved, that a woman born and bred in respectability and competence, a Christian mother and a citizen who never offended the laws of civil propriety; whose unfailing at- tention to the most sacred duties of life has ‘wor for her the name of ‘a proper Christian matron;” whose heart wasever warmed by charity; whose door was unbarred to the poor, and whose Penates has never cause to veil their faces, who will believe that she could so suddenly and fully have learned the intricate arts of sin! Mr. Aiken closed with the following re- marks :—“Let not this first State tribunal in our country’s history, which involves a wo- man’s name, be blazoned before the world with the harsh hints of intolerance which permits injustice, but as the benignant heart and kindly judging mind of the werld-lamented victim of a crime which would, in its ramifi- cations of woe, aroused so many fates, would nimeelf have counselled you. Let the heralds of peace and charity, with their wool-bound slaves, follow the fasces and axes of judgment and law, and without the sacrifice of any in- necent sphigenia, let the ship of state launch with dignity of unstained sails into the un- ruftled sea of union and prosperity.” The Court adjourned over till Friday.

New Yorm, June 21.—Yesterday was eed apart by the firemen of Astoria, Jamaica, Flashing, and College Point, for trial of fire apparatus at Flushing, L. I. Extensive pre- Biretions ‘Were made for a grand display, and zine Companies Nos, 1 and 7, of the Bas- ten District; No, 3, of the Western District, ot yn: and No. 41, of New York, were invited tobe present. Consequently, early in the day, an number of firemen and their friends Sseembied in the town. In consequence of some delay, the trial did not take place until about 2p. m., and scarcely had the machines been Rat in working order when a tumult arose Main street, near Woolley’s Hotel, which becameso formidable in its proportions that Bll idea of a further trial was abandoned. It appears that an en- gineer from the Fastern District offered a pet of $40 to 8 member of the Astoria Company, each having been discussing the merits of the Smith and Jeffers engine, whea they quarreled over the terms of the bet, the Astoria man first striking the Eastern District mam. Their par- tisans then took up the quarrel, and inafew minutes the fight me general between the Jeffers and the Smith men. As soon as the report of the fire-arms was heard, the business men of the town closed up their stores, and ins few minutes afterwards the wildest disorder prevailed. The reports of pistols, the clashing ef bowle-knives, the screams and curses of the combatants, the ter- rifled shrieking of women and children, among ‘whom fell showers of stones, rendered thescene one of intense horror. The house-tops were crowded with men, while the women and children sought refuge in cellars. This state of things lasted fur about two hours. when the rain commenced to fall in torrents and seemed to cool the passions of th» infuriated rioters, and they gradually quietea down, and collected their wounded and dis- abled friends. It is impossible to state the number of those injured, but it is estimated at fifty er sixty. A lady, whose name was pot ascertained, received a bullet wound in the breast. Several citizens and children were ‘wounded by stray shots, but the fighters them- selyes suffered the most severe injuries. The scene of the fight presented evidences of a ter- rible conflict—bricks and stones, knives and broken pistols jying about on allsides. FROM HAVANA.
