ARREST OF JOHN H. SUBRATT. Tite State Department bas received by the | cable the following dispateb, announcing the arrest of John H. Sarratt, at Alexandria, Egypt “Have arrested John H. Surratt, one of Pras- ideot Lincoln's assassins. No doubt of identi ty. CHARLES HALE, S. Consul General, Alexandria, Egypt.” It will |e remembered that Searratt was ar- rested im Italy, while serving in the Papal Zouaves, and afterwards escaped while under guard. The Pope promptly gave the neces- sary order for his arrest, upon the request ot our Minister, Mr. King, notwithstanding there was no treaty between the United States and the Papal Government binding the latter to grant the request of Mr. King. Sarratt escaped into Italian territory, and was afterwards traced into Egypt. where he was arrested, as stated. The singular charge has been made that the President kas known of Surratt’s whereabouts for the laste:ix months, without making any attempt for bis arrest. The fact is that the } matter of the pursuit and detection of | this great criminal bas been in the hands of the War Department co-operating with the State Department, and that the firet definite indica- tion regarding Surratt’s whereabouts, received by Government, was, in the shape of informa- tion, that an individual resembling John H Surratt, and speaking English, was serving in the Papal Zouaves. Directions were promptly sent back to take the requisite steps to estab. lish bis identity and procure his arrest, and to dotbis cautiously so as not to give him warn- ing. The affair was managed so well that he was seized without his haying the least occa- sion to suspect that he had been detected. In some manner, which will, probably, be ex. plained when the fall official dispatches reach bere, Surratt managed to break away and escape from a guard of six men, getting into Italian Territory, with which Govern. ment we havea modified extradition treaty, but hurried from the “frying-pan into the fire” by going into Egypt, with which country we baye a full extradition treaty. He has now no chance of escape, as orders have been tele- graphed to Admiral Goldsborough, who is cruising in those waters, to bring the criminal directly here. Those familiar with the char- acter of John H. Surratt have believed that he would never be taken alive, but the event has shown that either the buraen of his great crime bss completely cowed him, or that be was never possessed of the desperate nerve which has been attributed tohim. We have hereto. fore expressed the opinion that the earth did not possess a biding-piace so secret as to ge- cure any one of these great criminals from de- tection, and the event bas so proved. As the days of military courts are past, the trial of Surratt will take piace in the District Supreme Court, before Chief Justice Cartter. ——————____ DELEGATE FROM THE DISTRICT. In the House to-day, Hon. Mr. Darling, of New York, introdaceda bill Providing that on and after the 4th of March next the District of Columbia shail be entitled to a delegate in Congress; entitled to the same rights and privi- leges as a delegate trom any of the Territories of the United Staves; and possessing the same qualifications as a member of Congress.

SenatTe.—Mr. Sumner gave notice that on some future day he would introduce a joint resolution in regard to reconstruction, de- claring the jurisdiction of Gongress over that whole subject, as well as of the representation of the lately rebellt States in Congress. Mr. Wilson presented several petitions from army officers, asking foran increase of pay; which were referred. Mr. Patterson offered a bill tor the relief of certain widows. Referrea to the Committee on Pensions when appointed. Mr. Chandler offered a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for infor- mation relative to the amount of money ex- vended im advertising since May last in the Pistriet ot Columbia: in regard to the character of su: jz and the circala. tion of the jow in which it was publisned. ‘The resolution w: i The resolution calling upon the President for information relative to the occupation of Mexico came ep im order, and was,en mo- tion of Mr. Sumner, referred back to the com- mittee. A supplement to the bill in regard to sup- pret gz the rebellion and preventing inenr- rection was then debated at some length.
