Surratt was resumed this morning in the Oriminal Qourt before Judge Fisher, and District Attorney Oarring- ton resumed his argumenttothe jury. Alarge pumber of persons were present, but many were unable to gain admission. Within the bar all the seats were occupied, and in the space outside standmg room could not be bad. At ten o’elock the prisoner and jurors were brought in, and the court was opened. At 10.15 Mr. Carrington resumed bis arga- ment, and Said he hoped the jury would en- deavor to bear wii th patience until be had finished his argument, whieh be would do ae briefly as possible consistent with his sense of duty to the public. Iwas yesterday afternoon commenting upon the testimony of Sergeant Dye. Who ishe? Itisin evidence ‘fore you that he was an honest soldier in the service of his country. The young farmer boy or mechanic whoenters as & private soldier, and fights bis way up to be a non-com: missioned officer, comes before an honest jury under most auspicious circumstances. ‘Where is the witness who has ap; to 2 ee his nes reputation for truth and veracity? — Judgin: t ceclaration of the Jounsel yond tan. od the court on Friday afternoon, that he had stricken down a mass of corruption at the feet. of the prosecution. We may say. that if a witness could have been found between heaven and earth he would have been placed on the stand to contradict Sergeant Dye, His character was above suspicion, and stood before the jury unimpeached. Who denied that he was man of nerve, of courage, and of truth? Dr. Samael Johnson has said man without courage is destitate of every other virtue. Shew me a courageous man and I will show you one. Liar and coward are almost synonomous terms. I might kiuodly and respectfully rebuke the learned counsel for the prisoner, what right had he, where there was no evidence, to publish a libel against a brave and honest soldier, who came here in obedience to his country’s call <o testify against @man who bad assailed his ountry’s honor. We were prepared to show at be was brave, honest and truthfnl and bore a good reputation among his neighbors. Sergeant Dye said he dream: of the woman who became his wife. No man ever loved a woman without dreaming of her. No man evertoved bis country without dreaming of hatcountry. Was if strange that a young an who had attested his devotion to his country, risking bis hfe, hopes, atidinterests, should dreara of the man who murdered its tederal head. The very fac: that Sergeant bye dreamt of this scene shows that bis heart was in the matter; shows that it made an im- pre.sion on Bis mind, and he told the truth, the whote twuth, and nothing but the truth. be vight of April 14tb, 1865, passing by ord’s Theater, his atiention is attracted by ¢ looking in the carriage of the Pres- iteni; Re heard tome one ery ten o'clock; he rard the second cry, and the third. Just then the person who gave the cry was in such 3 position tbat Sergeant Dye could see bis face. He said, 1 saw him, and then, with acimpleair, id, “that is the man As honest men, ap: ecisting the value of human character, you won't stamp upon this young man’s brow the crime of perjury. First, they introduce a Mrs. Lambert. of thiscity. Of that iady 1 sball not bresthe an unkind word. tiemen of the jury, she spenks of a different hour; she is wrong as to time; she is wrong 85 to place. In the language of Holy Writ, «Out ot their own mouths do 1 condemn them.” How do you reconcile the testimony of Mrs. Lambert with that of the smoking Duteh- man, who was at bis step, smoking, and heard no conversation. He swears no conver- sation occurred Birs. Lambert swears that & conversation did occur. These two witnesses contradicting each other show that | Sergt. Dye told the truth. Eight witnesses swear positively that they recognized the pris- oner atthe bar in the city of Washington on the 14th of April. There are five other wit- nesses Who do notsweer positively, but to the of their knowledge and belief.” The first is Setpio Grillo, agaimst whom there is nota breath of suspicion.

Colone O'Beirne, an excellent man. says he heard Lee's character spoken of barshly, but he did not say he would not believe him on oath. Do you think thatany human being who believes in God would come all the way from Missis- sissippi and falsely swear away the life of an individual who bad never done him any harm. What earthly motive conld John Lee have to swear away this man’s life! Would an hones: jury stamp bim with the crime of perjury? Do it, Dut take care. 1 donot intend to charge a ngle witness on the other side with perjury The next witness js Mr. Ramedale, He does Not testify positively. No one will say anght against bim.

Having shown him here, mY ext point is to show you the part which he ai \ perform in this bloody tragedy. John H. Surratt hada family and a Dome in the netropolis of the nation. Constitutionally timid. be peeded assistance. Booth was & drunkard, avagubond, a desperado, but be had nerve and brate courage. Surratt far- nisbed a rendezvous. Surratt, afraid to strike te fatal blow with his own hand, farnishes arms. Booth ui them. Surratt farnished whiskey, Booth and Herold drank it. Sur- ratt furnished a rope, Booth did not need it. One of the Surratt’s furnished a field glazs Booth used it as he escaped trom the city. Hooth died by justice. not regular, but by an interposition of Providence. Booth as he lay welter.ng im his blood has a weapon taken rom him which was furnished by Snrratt. I said Surratt was the Beelzebub and Booth the ‘Satan of this infernal conspiracy. He was the Satan and th the elzebab of this internal plot. Booth died game like x true fanatic. He deserved a felons death. “Vaulting ambition, which overleaps itself and falis upon the other side,” was his fault; for 1 have heard his favorite sentiment ‘was, “The youth who fired the Ephesian dome cutiived in same the pious fool who reared it.” Surratt was a spy for the rebel gevernment— Hooth was not. Booth's last words were: «Teil my mother 1 died for my country. and did what 1 believed best.” Surratt deserted his mother im her hour ot danger. He fled, and boasted, “The day will come when I will re- turn and serve Andrew Johnson as Abraham iancoln was served ” I come now, gentlemen, to the last point in my case: after which I will review the defence, for there isa question of inw there involved. Has not the prisoner at he bar confessed his guilt! Confessions are of two kinds—verbal er expressed confessions, nd implied confessions, arising from the con: < aud deportment of the prisoner. Now ertake to show that the prison confessed bis guilt in both wi he Innguage ef Holy Writ, “Out orb mouth do I condemn him.” The : who bas offended the laws of a pon his bended knee con- 1 1 tun bine 1 - triends, to his companions ympatbizers.

Has not the prisoner at the bar confessed his guilt? ‘The Ursc witness upon that point is young Tippeit. He testifies tbat he beard Mrs, Sar- ratt say tbat she would give one thousand dollars to bave Abraham Lincoln killed. What, then, according to the testimony of the witness wns the feeling ot the prisoner atthe bar! “The leader of this army ought ‘o be in hell.” At such a time, an hour of national jubilee, to give empresefan to @srptiment, show a heart abandoned ot food, and bent on misenief, J eare not for the purpose of My argument to whom thealins:on Was made: it shows the same beart, the same mahee, aud gives color and character to the foul murder, which was afer wards commits ‘rt.

Having done what he afterwards did, ifthe Yankees donot, Washingtonians, in vindication of law and ‘ice and their be et a dignity and honor, wili do to him what he himeeif con- Tessed he deserved. God grant theday may nev- us er come when such a crime thus proved, th conteesed, an American jury who bave ner: enough ‘to do their duty will allow to pass unrebuked. Who is the next witness? Dr. McMillan, a man of high social connection and intercourse—a man has some kind feelings for t Nagle tack him. My friend, Mr. Bradley, jr. it would be unsafe for me to attack bim, Yet 1 intend to do it. I don’t want any personal ae eee nO personal diffic ul ‘will prevent me from doing my duty. A regi- ment of men will not deter me. Mr. Bradle I said no such thing, air; nor intimated ¢ a oh thing, a ae Mr. ell, I am-gtad the gentleman agrees, with me. Mr. Nagle was a lawyer, employed in this case, and received $50). I do not object to that; they had a right to em- ploy who they please; butI do object that a lawyer who receives 'a fee should take the stand to acsail Df. McMillan, who was his Peer and equal in every respect. But instead of acting the part of a lawyer getting wit- nesses, he comes here and by his testimony attempts to blacken the testimony of Dr Mc- Millan, a respectable witness in the case. 1t should be received with many grains of allowance by the jury; and when offered to blacken the Character of a witness like Dr. McMillan, it should be discarded. I believe McMillan; this jury Will believe him. (The testimony of Dr. Mc- Millan, where Surratt confessed to him the shooting of Union soldiers, was here read, also that relative to the shooting of pe rsons from the gun-boat, the telegraph operator, aud his confession &s to losing the handkerchief, and the communication from Bootb.) Mr. C. con- tinued :—Surratt distinctly said he had com- mitted a deed which deserved capital punish- rett. What clearer admission could there be? There was nootber act but this thathe wes charged with. He says he knew if he re- turned to America he would swing, and be would rather be hung by an Englishman than a Yankee. He said he received a letter from Booth stating it was necessary to change our plans. He does not say my plans, but our plans, and by responding to that letter he confessed the original plan was murder by telescope rifle,cup or pistol. One other wit- ness. There is St. Marie. who cortradicts him? Do you believe him! if you believe these four witnesses there is an end of this case. St. Marie says tbe prisoner at the bar sdmitted to him that he left Washington on the morning of the 15th of April. Put these con- fessions all together; what do they prove? ir own conviction; escape it if you can. Mr. Carrington here read from the speech of Dentel Webster in the case of the Common- wealth against Knapp, (reported in Sergeant's Standard speaker.) When Surratt fled it was to relieve himself by confession: his flight was confession, his false wig, or dyed hair, his spectacles, his starting—for the guilty sees an officer in every bush. “The righteous is bold asa lion, but the guilty fleeth when no man pur- suetb.” On board of an English vessel beneath the English flag plowing bis way from his native shore, he siarts, and when McMillan is surprised and asks him, he replies I think there isin American detective on board; and very naturally. Dr. McMillan says, what have you done thatyou sbouid be airaid of an American detective. Did he not then and there acknowl- edge to Dr. McMillian that he had done a deed at which bis own guilty soul revolted. The American people were congr:tulating the Em- peror of France and the Czar of Russia for tbeir escape from assassination, and here he Wasarguing almost three days to vindicate the law. It was an insult to argue to an American jury to strike down the murderer of our martyred President, when the blood of Abraham Lincoln cried to heaven for ven- gance. (Mr. ©. here read from the Bible 13th chapter of Homans, ist verse,) and argued that the Bible commanded us to execute vengeance upon him who violated the laws. 1t was this lawless spirit which had caused all the ‘trouble in our country. If judges and jurors would enforce the laws, we ‘would have no war, but peace and good order in the land. [Mr.’U. then quoted at some length from @ sermon which he lately heard on capital punishment.} He argued that no man had a right to execute private vengeance, but God commanded us to execute public ven- geance. The object of the gallows, the pent- tentiary, and the jail, was not for the benefit of individuals. but for tne benefit of society. The Bile contained the best code of laws ever promulgeted for man. God having appointed this government, you being bis mainisters upon earth, if this man bas committed the crime of murder, God declares that it is your duty, a3 His ministers, to execute wrath upon his head. God bas placed you in this position, and tt you refuse toexecute the law, you assume to be more merciful that the God of us all. Now, gentlemen. have you any doubt i regard to the guilt of the prisoner! Don't you know that this conspiracy existed, that he wasa member of it, and acted a part? Don't you know that im pureuance of this conspiracy that murder was commit- ted? On! at was a cruel, cruel blew that sulled that kind and genue heart. Mr. C. here reterred to Greenieat on Evidence, first section, to show the difference between the word evidence and the word proof, and the true question in trials was uot as to the probability of evidence being false. He next Teterred to the opmion of Chief Justice Shaw, in bis charge to the jury in the case of Web- ster, indicted tor the murder of Prof. Park- man, upd: ontinued bis argument. A reason- able doubt did not mean @ speculative donbt. All tbat the law requires is that there should bea moral certainty. 1 must produce eviden: sufficient to satisfy the judgment and con- science of a reasonable man. If your own interests were at stake. could you say this man was innocent? No, no; bis guilt has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt, It was the duty of the judge to insiruct the jury on the doctrine of reasovable doubt. Elo- quent counsel often carried the jury away the doctrine of reasonaple doubt. A jury did not like the idea of shedding blood, and would seize that doctrine. Did not all the maerial circumstences in this case point with a fearful and nunerring certainty to the prisoner at the bar. If the jury would Jook through the whole evidence, they would sre this man’s guilt as plain as he now saw his band before bis face. Mr. ©. said he would how proceed to review the testimony for the defense, und after a tew remarks he would then clore. He bad tnis morning learned of the death of a brother member of the bar, and as there was no other speech, he would move the court adjourn in respect tothe memory of Mr. Morgan. He asked that arecess be new taken, after which he would conclude his ar- pment. f Mr. Pierrepoint said there would be abund- ance of time atter the District Attorney closed for him (Mr. P.) to present all the legal ques- tions which he proposed, and he would oc- copy but a ebort time. ‘1 Lis was screed to, and at a quarter before one o'clock the court took a recess for half an bour. On reaseembling at 1.30 o’clock—- Mr. Carrington continued his argument, saying that he bad already spoken longer than he thopgbt was necessary, and proceeded to state that he bad already replied to the general propositions of the defense. In regard to tl fourth propositior it was impossible f the priesner to bave made his way here, and the fftn, libi tbat he was in Elmira or some other place on the di yewhen the murder was committed, if they ran their eyes over the ™map and noticed theshortestroute from Wash- ington te Montreal, and taxe into considera- tion the testimony as to the detention ot trains, they would find that he was where Blinn and others placed him. The idea that he went to Canandaig' able. ifbe had gone there he would bave gone on to the lakes and taken an English steamer fo Toronto. The route they ‘bad sbown that ‘Was the most expe: ditions and natural route. He was concealed bv Father Boueher, but be would not refer to him for he wasa minister of the Gospel. As to the other point, that he was in Elmira, it ‘was immaterial, and it was not true in point of fact.

They had mot proved the alibi, as the law reenee Mr. Carrington p: (ed to say that he was glsd tuegentiemen who opened the case Gefended the citizens of the District from tbe charge of disloyalty. When Abraham Lin- coln was to be inaugurated the Union volun- teers of the District, with a handful of regu- lars, saw him inaugurated as his predecessor had been, on the east portico of the Uspitol; and when it became necessary to invade the sacred soil of Virginia the Union volunteers of this District the Notwithstanding setts volunteers shed the first blood, it was matter of histery that the first victim of this war was a Union volunteer from the District of Columbia. H of the conduct of Mr Bradley and him: ter the battle of Ball Run, beth holding commissions, offering their services to the Government, and then noticed the fact that after Uongress had ordained that jurors should take an oath of allegiance, none ‘who had been summoned had refused to take the oath, excepting one, as an evidence of the loyalty of the peuple of the District, i be claimed that in proportion to the pop- ation it was as loyalas any other section of the land. What is this Union worth it the highest officer is to be at the mercy of t sassin’sdagger? Justice to the guilty is mercy to the innocent; and he charged that the jury should aseign to the prisoner at the bar that unishment which the law prescribes. He Is a mcrere Qnd deserves a murderer's doom. Mr. Pierrepoint followed, quoting first from Law Library, vol. 41, page5i, Wills on Uir- cumstantial Evidence, to show that the bur- den of proof, when an alibi is attempted to be pores is on the prisoner. ‘He also read ‘om the same work, pages 53 and 71, and Al- Uson’s Practice in Criminal Courts of Scotland, pages 624, 626, and 627. This caseis like all long cases, and when the rubbish is thrown aside it will be found to resolve into afew principles. The question was whether the prisoner was engaged in the con- spiracy which resulted in the killing of Abraham Lincoln. It would not be de- nied that the conspiracy had been proved, and the law is that each was re- sponsible for what crime might follow; and there was such a conspiracy, and the common law was that each of the conspirators isa principal. This is the first time that thi great principle of law had been before a court of this country. Any man who would treat this case as one of ordinary murder, did not understand law. Would anyone undertake to say that if a plot is made to abduct a daugh- ter, and in consequence of the restraint put upon her she dies, that the parties are not guilty of murder? If a man goes to a Nouse to reb it, and his daughter, who is a servant, in endeavoring to give an alarm, is killed by him, is be not a murderer? That it Goes not require a person to be present to te cuilty of murder. Suppose there ts a pic- nic on the railr nd a man onthe Maryland line starts a locOmotive, killing a number, oe can te brought before a jury if he ever comes within the jurisdiction of the court. He read from the case of Adams—Ist Comstock, p 17: to show that actual presence is not necessary. He was in Elmira to perform his part,or, if he siarted from Montreal, te take his part, and even if he by accident did not arrive in time. he wasguilty. Theyare all guilty of the same act as the principal. He claimed that ifa man in Baltimore eends to a wife here poison for her husband, and she gives it to her unsband, causing his death, thatthe man is guilty. So weuld be be guilty if she made a mistake apd tock it herself, sing her death. Jp supportof his proposition he referred to Ist Russell on Crimes, 32 and 39, 4th Werdell, st Russel}, 27,29, and 50.2d Starkey’s nce, 237, 12th Wheaton, 46(), 2d Peters, 35%, 3d Connecticut, 8, 10th’ Pickering, 493, Bisbop’s Criminal Law, vol. ist, section 81, paces, Archibold, page 7. He would add that if there was anything clearly settled in the law it seemed to him that the propositions ofthe prosecution were sustained by these books At this point, Mr. Carrington, District Attor- ney, announced the deathof Edwin C. Morgan in feeling \erms, and the Uourt took a recess until to-morrow at 10 o’clock. jalan uaa Deatu or E. O. Moraan, Esa —Edwin U.

Twenty-second streete, of their suspicions thatasmall colored boy had been tied up ina house occupied by George James. colored, because of the cries proceeding from it. Lieut. Hurley went to the house, but failed to gain an entrance, and getting a Isdder he climbed to the garret window, through which the boy was seen in the middle of the floor hanging by his haads to two cords made fast toa rafter; nis toes barely touching the floor. The officer made his way into the house and ent him down, when his hands and fingers were found swollen nearly to bursting. He had ap- parently been hanging in this position for some hours tn terrible agony, and there is but little doubi bat he would in a short time have died from nervous exhaustion. He was taken to the station, where he remained until last evening, when Lieut. Hurley found him a temporary home. James, who ts the uncle of the boy, has not yet been arrested, but the officers are determined thal they will ha: him, and that he shall not escape the punish- ment he so richly deserves. —_-——_ ConovgR EN RouTgE For ALBANY.—Sanford Conover, alias Chas.

Conover had been several times notified to prepare to go, and as often was he kept back on acconat of 8 suspension ot the sentence by the Uoert; but since his Jate attempt to break jail the pending motion to suspend bis sentence was overruled by Chief Justice Cartter, and the Warden yester- day notified him to leave.

Imrorran? spizurz oF 4 Lagez Bate BREWERY—Violation of the Revenue Laws— Curious Developments — Undergrownd Bottling Operations —The Sentinel-Wife and Cry of " Cuckoo."—On Wednesday last the interna: Tevenue officers of Collector Ciephane's de. ‘tment visited the lager beer brewery of joseph Widemann's, on N strest north, be- tween First and Second’ strests west, having Feasom tO enspect that the establishment needed @ little wholesome scrutiny in behalf of Uncle Sam's revenues. They ap- prosched the establishment by the back gate, and met there a woman, to whor they Bown their wish to visit the vaults ia ich the process of manufac- tori ager, and ing itto perfection carried on. The onan raid the wanlts were locited, and shesent s man to the house for the key. She then passed harriediy through the establishment, Over the vaults, calling out ‘cuckoo !” “cuckoo!” as if calling fowls. On mg the trap-door she changed the word to “Sbaries,” ap, atly addressing Rerseif to invisible “Charles.” She then proceeded to the bodes, ostensibly, to assist in procuring the key to the vaults, but soon returned and ran around the brewery repeating her cuckoo cry. Meantime the officers had tried the tri and found it was not locked but bolted on the inside. They man- aged to displ the bolt from the socketand entered the vault and found two men engaged in drawing off Jager beer from a large “stand cask” into unstamped kegs. These vaults, Dse¢ in the manufacture of lager, are exten- sive, ronning under ground one hundred feet or more, and sank to a depth of twenty or thirty feet. Such a cave, it will be seen, af fords peculiar facilities for carrying on fraud- alent practices in violation of tie revenue Iawe. By such practices, however, the man. wiacturer lays Bimself open tohearPpenaltios in the way ef imprisonmentand confiscation of the entire establishment. Section 51 of the Internal Revenue laws provides that the owner, agent, or superintendent, of any brew. ery or utensils used in making fer- mented liquore, who shall evade or attempt to evade the paymentof the tax thereon, or fran- dently neglect or refuse to make time and ex- act entry and reportof the same, & shall forfeit for every such offence; liquors made by him and all the vessels, uten- siis, and apparatus, need in making the same, and be Mabie to a penalty of not less than five hundred, or not more than one thousand dol- lars, to be recovered wit costs of suit and be imprisoned fora Wrm not exceeding ‘one year. Section 53, provides that every per- son who snall withdraw any fermented liquor trom any bogsbead, barrel, kez, or other ves- sel upon whieh tbe proper stamps shall not have been affixed for the purpose of bottling thesame, &c., shall be liable to a fine of five Rendred dollars and the property used in such bottling or business shall be liable to forfeitare. Following upon the detection of the guilty parties in this case on Wednesday a watch- man was placed upon the premises to hold the property, and on the next day Collector Clephane made a formal seizure of the prem- ises. The lors to Widdemannas will probably not faliskort of $10,000, He bas been carry- ing on the manufacture of lager for some years, Repeated warnings bave been given by the revenue sothorities to manufacturers concerning the stringent provisions of the law, but the temptation to evade it seems to be too strong to be resisted in many cases. pet ge CANDIDATES FOR THE WORKHOUSE.—Jus- tice Thompson, yesterday, commitied John Colbert, Patrick Turner, and James Hawkins, to tbe workhouse in default of $6 fine for dis- orderly conduct.

A Tove Officer James War- wick was y king for aman along tbe canal who committed a breach of the peace, and who be was Informed had gone aboard of one of the’eanal boat. As he was continuing hie search a captain upon one of thi upon which he went, named John Sw: bim with “What do you want.” T oMcer explained bis mission when S replied «If it ‘were a d—d nigger you would not look astep for him.” Mr. Warwick paid no attention to this remark but contined to institute his search, when S. ‘ned to bim and ordered him off the boat, Be ad no right there.’ The officer Plied that be bad a right to search for a pris- Oner upon any man’s boat and would do s. at which S.. who is a large, heavy built, stout man, attempted to eject bim from the boat; in strength he overpowered the officer and three times nearly succeede d in throwing him. into the canal, and probably would have done so had not the officer in self defence struck bimupon the head with his club, which completely subdued him, and he consented tg go to the station house, bleeding like an ox. He was brought befere Justice Buckey who, after hearing the circumstances, enidhe would have to fine bim $5 50. S. spoke up, ina tone of contempt, “If ithad been a d—n nigger yon wouldn't fine him a ceut.” He then pleaded that he had no money, where- upon the Justice said he would commit bim to the workhouse, “to be chained to the floor, and te be fed on bread and water.” S. did not like this, and thought perhaps he could rat the stamps, whereupon officer Warwick said, that though he had treated him so bad, he would go for the money for him. Said J tice Buckey — Waitamoment, I have got this commitment nearly written, the workhouse ts the best place tor him.’” S. then begged, and offered to raise the money forthwith, which be did, and was dismissed.
