Surratt was resumed this morning in the Criminal Court, before judge Fisher, the room being erowded, as usual, and a very large number of ladies tn the audience. Atten o'clock the prisoner and jurors were brought in, whem the Qonurt ‘was opened, and Mr. Bradley for the defense commenced his Argument. He said he had hoped that it would ‘be unnecessary forhim to tire the jury with An address. Thecase itselt was an exceeding- dy simple one, but a factitious importance has been given to it by some. You are sworn to try the simple case ofa murder of an individual. You are to look to the indictment for subject matter of your inquiry, and in that indic ment you find nothing but the charge of feloni- ous killing of an individual. The counsel on the other side have endeavored to stir up your consciences. For what pi pose this great mass of irrelevant matter en introduced is for them to say and yon to judge. This case was closed when the prosecution proved by Sangster that the prisoner left Mon- treal at3p.m.on April 12th, and when they proved by McMillan that he was in Elmira on April 13th. Outof the mouths of their own witnesses was the defense complete. 1t may be, probably will be, the last time that I shall ever address @ Washiagton jury. For more than forty years I have gone in and out before ou. 1 say during that period of time no man a8 ever dared to assail @ prisoner as this pri- soner has been assailed. He would have been frowned down by all men, and put out of the circle of respectable lawyers. Sir Edward Cove, whose intellect was immeasurable, in- curred everlasting disgrace by the manner which he insulted his victims when placed at the bar of the conrt. Mr. Bradley here read from the Lives of the Obiet Justices of Eagland toshow the opin- 4 ions held of Lord Coke. Look upon the pic- ture here before you. These gentlemen are j aware that notwithstanding the mysterious circumsiances which surronnded this case. they bave no case against the prisoner. He next read from the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh to show the language used towards the pri oner, which was condemned. The safety of some men who lie pebind this proseeution and your clearimg the prisoner cannot agree Against this, gentlemen, I desire to enter my Protest. 1 trust that this case will be a lesson and @ warning to every man who shall hold that office fof District Attorney] hereafter, and tbat they may turn back to that record’ and place the seal of condemnation upon the man ‘who so abuses Bis authority as District Attor- ney. They state tbat the Jury are not to find a general verdict, but to find a verdict in ac- cordance with the instructions of the Court. ‘The Court, a part of the Government, the ser- yaut of the prosecuting attorneys. Gentle- men, let_me call yonr attention to the history of a Jetiries, of @ Scroggs, and of a Wright. They were chief justices of England, and their names are accursed this day, and will be while the English language las Mr. Bradley here read from the 2d volume ot Campbell's Lives of the Chief Justices, to show the conduct of Lord Chief Justice Wright at the ir'al of the bishops, where he asked the ury to drink before retiring to their room, and when he died his body was thrown into a pit with common malefactors, and his name was exeeraied by ail good men. 1 detract nothing irom the suthority of the court. God forbid. ‘The jurors, uvassisied, may run wild. They are bound ‘to receive instructions from the court, but they must apply those instructions to theevidence. There isa higher law. and the mandate of no judge can ever make gn honest man do wrong. Render to yourselves and your consciences that whick is due to bo nd obedience to whatis right. Mr. B here resd from Chancellor Kert, to show the duties of juries to bring ina general verdict. ‘They are fo try not only the fuct but the crime. and they must judge of the intent. The doc- trme that the court was to be the judge of mal- ice, Aud not the jury, was utteriy repudiated in England snd in this coontry. Yet that was the doctrine which the loerned counsel on the other side urged in this cass Mr. Bradley read at some length from Chandler Kent, to show the power and duties of the jury. Jt wastheir right to determine questions of law ard fact under the direction ofthe Court. Will we hear anything more from the other side of the right of the Court to | con rol! Will we bear a threat held oat to an American jury by the prosecuting attorney | that if you do net render a verdict in accord- ance with the instrnctions laid down, you will be indicted for perjury? I say nothing to flat- ter you, gentlemen. Isay it for the sake of the jaw, forthe sake of my country. I trample under foot any such’ doctrine that a juror is guilty of perjury if he reuders a verdict of guilty or not guilty, accord. ing to the ‘diciates of his conscience. You are to determine if this accused party killed the President, or was in & conspiracy where the President was killed by one of those conspirators. What has the assault on Secre tary, Seward to do with this case? The District Actorney failed in aeingle insiance to connect it with this case. He painted that scene to you: at Was x fine piece of word painting, but bas no bearing on this case. Tell me what killing Union soldiers, or the gunboat fight, has to do with killing the President, How does it show that Jobn H. Surrart was concerned in a con- spiracy with Booth to kill the President? It is done, gentlemen, to excite prejudice and passion. it is don to extort from your dis- torted judgment a verdict which your cooler judgment would prevent. Mr. Bradley here reviewed the counts in the indictment, and argned that ic charged pure c&ses of murder only. The law was ro clear that there was not a man at the bar, who had been there oue year, who did not know that @ Bear enough to act and render material | d was indictable as accessory and not as prineips).

I did not Took at honor atid renown at my time of life, but if you Dad seen her who came to me, her eye once bright and animated, now dim. For two months, day and night, at expense, toil and labor, my two younger brothers have dili ‘ly and admirably per- formed their part o} labor. When I went into that Feupe. man’s cell, and traced out the istory, found every word verified. He tald us adi, and kept back pothing. 1 have never feared for him since the Goverment proved bis imnocence a month ago. They have that most extraordinary gentleman, Dr. McMillan, who had @ most retentive memory when hi wanted to, but who, Repplly for us, forgot he gave a receipt. 1 ask yen, gentlemen, to look upon that witness. You can tell from the conduet of a witne: er did a little bantam cock flap his w! and crow with more airs than McMillan exhibited when he took the stand toswear away the fife of that youngman. But whea Father Boucher testified, he quailed and could no more look Mr Boucher in the face than Mr. Uarrington can look John Surratt in the tage when he is acquitted. What does he prove? He told you that Surratt told him the pian had been to abduci the President, and he received a ietter from Booth telling bim that it had been found necessary to change the pian. He says Sur- Tatt telegraphed Booth in New York. Did he believe that Booth was in New York”? No mortal man bas ever dared to swear before this jury that this young man ever knew ot the plan to murder The Prosecuting Attorney, after abusing him, calling him traitor, coward, aseassin, everything; asks you for a verdict after they themselves have proved his inno- cence. Gentlemen, this case assumed -a new pbase last winter, and put the deepest dis- grace upon the conductors of the prosecution before that military commission, Suppressed imony: testimony which would nave ac- quitted a woman; @ pious mother who had gathered around her a circle of friends who loved and respected her, with two orphan children near ber; and a third in Texas. That Giary, written by Booth. They suppressed that diary which exculpaies her; that diary which shows who and what the man was; @ fanatic and a madman, His fatber was the most thorough Red Re- publican who ever settled tn America, snd this son inherited the traits of that father. He was an accomplished scholar, and moved ip the best society, butbe had running through him this veim of ineanity. and above it all flows thatindescribable affection of ason for amother. Wonderful was the power he es ercisec over men. wonderful his power on the singe: making his £20,000 a year; yet he has gone. ashe deserved, to & dishonored and a felon’s grave. That book testifies to the pris- ouer’s innocence. They nave proved, not only by McMulan but by this diary, that if Surrait Was in a couspiracy at ali it was to abduct, and be knew nothing of the murder. I wish 1 could teil you, gentiemen, I wish 1 could tell the counsel what Vanderpoel said before he left this court-house as 10 how be came to make the statement he did. Throw ont the testimony of Lee, Vanderpoel, and Susan Ann Jackeon. J take the diary. Does it not prove when the conspiracy was formed? Don’t they show by the accomplished young man (Mr. Weich. man)—it would not do to use language like the District Attorney, and call him Har, villain, traitor, &e.: but 1 think I will show, hefore I am done with him, that he is a fii associate for Conover and Cleaver. Does he not prove that Surratt declared, on March 16th, that all had failed? Is Surratt shown with any of these parties after that? They show by Weich- Man that if Surratt was engaged in any conspiracy. it ceased on March 16th. John Wilkes Booth tells you from the grave that the project to ‘abduct failed The prosecution in order to excite your prejudice have not ely gone up to the moon, but have gone mito the very earth to root up and bring out bones of dead beings. The \earped District Attorney says, that Jonn Booth killed the President. and has gone to —, I wont name the place, and has leit Beel- zebub. I think he must have had some evil spirits with him, for where did the proseeu- lion get their infernal spirits 'o testify here. ‘They have bad a gentieman in black here. 1 was looking around for him a while ago, but could not find him. 1 think he is the Foster father of this case. Where bas he been? Raking up the whole place for witnesses to assail Mr. Cass, @ man of as good standing in his city as my learned brother is in his city otf New Xork. Again, (pomting to Mr. Pierrepoint,) Did you not ask @ respectable physician on the stand, ‘have you not been indicted!” and many other insinuations. He has made charges agaimst our witnesses, but never dared to put & witness on the siand to sustain tae same. If ever I ask & witness one word to imply guilt without having tke proof by me, may I be turned ont of the society of bcnest men. Look at the case of Mr. Nagle! Does he dare to say to you that he could bring a witness from Montreal to discredit him. I venture to say that yon could get fifty men in Washington who Would swear they would not believe ™me on onth, judging from the articles pub- lished in ‘a dirty sheet here, charging me with corruption, charging’ me with auempung to bribe Hobart, and that I had a party of Jews to swear falsely. Gentlemen, the bistery ot that Jew swearing falsely bas been pubhshed in the public papers, and you will see it when you get out of that jury box, and you will see where the corrnpiion 1s, I understand the gentleman in black has been eorrecting that map upon which 1 made figures, aud it will be presented to you gentlemen, by the prosecution in their closing speech. Surratt reached Albany at We show the first train left there for the west at7 a. m., and reached Canandaigua at 4.52 p. m and by no possibility can he reach Canan- Elmira on the 13th; that is proved. it takes two and a-balf hours from Canandaigua to Elmira, thai 1s the proof of the Government. 1 was willing to stop the casethere. I thought the representatives of a Government like this would enter anolle proseque atter they bud proved a msn’s innocence. Oh you smile!(look- ing towards the prosecuting at:orneys,) there is xo deeper damnation in this world than to prosecute a man when you know heis innocent. They have heaped testimony upon testimony for what? To prove Mrs. Surratt’s guilt. It is not as to the guilt or innocence of John Sur- ratt. He is cleared: but the Government want- ed to prove bis mother guilty. We have ful- sified the proof of the Government so that I even dety the gentleman in black himsclt. Mr. Bradley here reviewed the testimony of Csrroll, and said bis evidence as to seeing Surratt in Elmira was not only untmpeach- ed but sustained by the Government own witnesses. Although the gentleman in black ut the elbow of the Prosecutor suggest- ed numerous questions, fortunately their wit- ness Koverts was ap honest man.

He telis you that on the morning of the 151 he saw a stranger whom he took to be a friend othim. ‘The stranger came across the sireet and asked for shirts.

Gentlemen, let us see Who was Mrs. Mary E. Surratt! 1 believe no tongue has spoken o: ber except in her praise, unives it be Lewis J. Weichman and Jno. M. Lloyd. Not only happy in her own temper and disposit butevident- ly bappy im_her associations. kz at those witnesses who have appeared before’ you on thatstand. Nobreath Se nee: pastes across her path, no taint of falsehood ever touched her. She walked peerless. That she ‘was lovable is shown by the testimony in thie cause. She receives under her roof a young man Who is imtroduged by her son as an old college mate. She treats him as herson. In sickness sbe nurses him;she admits him to all the freedom ot her femily; two brief months paty, anda stranger is introdaced in that hovge, gifted and accomplished. Two short months more pass, and this gentieman is a frequent visitor at her house. A man is brought there and introduced as Mr. Wood by Weichman. Up to this time Herold has never been In the Douge. Atzerodt there, Booth there. heeays, every day; and yet Weichman telis you he never saw th and Atzerodt there to- gether. Booth visita there frequently. Weich- nen treated 28-8 son; confided in by aii: sleep- ing in the same Wed with John Surratt, and werring the same Clothes as atzerodt. This man knows jurt as well what was going on in that hotse and among those men as any one eise. Tbis man in the Department convérsing with Howell, taking from Howell a cypher which he swears he never used. He went up in the room, and found Surratt and Payne Bisying with bowie knives. Do they stop 1 0; when Weichman went in they see who it is and keep on. Gentlemen, you saw.him on tbe stand. As your eyes fell upon bim be quivered. A brief month passes, and there is. a change in this scene. A new actor is intro- duced—Mr. John M. Lioyd—and he tells you early in March Surratt, Herold and Atzerodt leit at his house some anns, and tells him where toconcealthem. Time dus. Surratt is called to Surratteville ou busive: she meets Lloyd, and he tells you in the pres- ence of this man Weichman she told him io bave those arms ready ; they would be wauted in afew gays, Weichman telis you she told him :n 8 low tone, and Lloyd says it was in a tone loud enough to be heard. Que of these two men lied. Itell you Mrs. Surratt knew bo more about those arms being in that honse than you do, gentlemen. 1 will show you that Lloyd was asdeep in that plan to abductas Looth, Weichman. Atzerodt, or any ot them. Lioyd tells you Mre. Surrait was about to come away When he got there Weichman tells you be came out of the honse to mend the buggy. Lloyd iells you the paper parcel she ave him was afield gitss. Weichman swears before the military commvsston be thought that parcel was @ half dozen séu- cers, but bere be swears it was a field glass, and sgain this poor creature who is dey in inis ptan to abduct. (Lloyd)tells you he bad been in the house and was laying down when Mrs. Surratt asked him to mend the bugey Ciervee telts yoube saw Lloyd on the next morning and he called upon God to witness thatbe hed notseen Booth or Herold that night. Gentlemen, he who takes God’s name to witness the truth of his statement, when it is not true, is justas much of @ perjurer as he who ewears falsely on-that stand. Upon the stb ofthis miserabledrunken perjured wretch, she sleeps in an innocent graye. Strike out bis testimony, and she walks disenthraled. Did John M. Lioyd tell the truth! I dis- miss bim ew and torever, Now we goback to Mr. Weichman. There must be some truth in bisetatement; be must have a stem of iruth, upon which to weave his falsehood. First, let me show you how false ne has been to hu- man nature, and false to the woman who treated him 4s a son, nursed him in sickness, and cared for him in health. He first tells you he accepted a situation at St. Matthews’ In- stitute Jn bie cross-examinstion he tells you he songht it. Now, this gentleman has the most remarkable recollection of days and dates, He tells you on the 18th of March he went to see the “ Apostate” played by Booth and Jobn McCulloch Before the Military Commission he swears it wason the %th of Murch. He swears before the Military Commission be was introduced to Mudd about the i5th of January, and here he swears tt was in December, 1561. Here are thece strange and irreconcilable con- tradictions froma witness who come here to take away the life of the son, after he has sac- cveded in tiking away the life of the mother. He says be was a clerk jn the Commissary General's office, but never furnisted informs- tion. Agam. he says he met Payne on two occasions with Mrs. Surratt, bat could not fix the dare. Finally, after evading the que: he answers, “Yes. 1 did introduee Payne.’ swears Atverodt was never dressed in his clothes. Gentlemen, need 1 call your attention to the contradiction of ail this by Holioban, Miss Fitzpatrick, and others. They tell you Payne was always known there by the name vt” Wood. They tell you of seeing At- verodt oiten with Wetchman’s clothes on, On the conspiracy trial he swears he went to ibe Post Office with Surratt when he got ihe lerter from Wood, addressed to James Sturdy, jourteen daye after seeing the piay of Jane Shore, and here be swears it was six days atierwards. My. Bradley read from the ev dence ot Weichman to show the contradictory statements he made on this and the conspirac’ trial. He says he first met Atzerodt about the last of January, 1°65, 2nd met him on April 2d with Surratt. Gentlemen, Surratt was not thereon the 2d of April. Mr. Barry tells you he saw Booth, Atzerodtand Weichman at Mrs, Surratt’s when he brought the horses. Weich- man tells yeu Dr. Wyvill brought the horses home. Dr. Wyvill te'ls you he never was at Mrs. Surratt’s. The gentlemen on the other side will fell you these are all immaterial. Ab! gentlemen, tke all these circumstances, them up, and vou make the mountain. It the last feather which breaks the camel's back. He swears he never was onder arrest. Before the commiesion he swears he was in charge of McDevitt ail the time. He tells you he read his previous testimony before he came to: testify in this case. He said his character was at stake, and in this trial he intended to do all be could to aid the prosecution. He teils any extraordinary story of the remarks made by Mrs. Surrati on coming to the city «bout all our joys being turned to sorrow, but he did not testify to that before the mili. tary commission. He did not testify before the military commission as to the re- mark made by Anns Surratt in regard to Booth when the officers came, because he said his memory was clearer now thanit was then. He ewears that Mra. Surrait asked him to pray for ker intentions, loud enough to be heard by allinthe room. He tells you she was perfectly cheerful and pleasani all thi way to Surratisville and back, although eh: knew her son wos to embark that nigbton the fearful and terrible enterprize to murder the President _and his Cabinet. This Wicked man, not Weicbman, tells youshe was excited ir ber parlor,and called upon him to. pray for her intentions. He knew it would not do to represent her as calm at that time—ten o'clock. This serpent makes up the story of her excitement. it was a fabricated wicked lie. I bore with tome degree of patience the assault made by the District Attorney on th! poor prisoner; but I say Weichman, this wretch—I can call him that; he is not a pris- oner; he is a free man; has the use of bis arms, and J am a man—testifies that that poor stricken girl, not a party to the conspiracy. said the death of Lincoln was no more than the ceath of & negro in the army. Even if she did say suck a thing under excitement, what man who had an honest heart would repeatit. That heart-stricken girl, now trembling for the fate of this poor brother, while that wretch is put on the stand to testify thus against her. Aga! yon remember his testimony about hearing footsteps. We stamp itasalie. At once w: show you tbat Anna Surrati went to the door and received papers from Mr. Scott for Mics Jenkins : and yet 1 baveseen men and women. shaking hands with Weich- m “Ob! shame, where is thy blush 1” One word mor ntl nd 1 have done. 1 will show you that Mrs. Mary E.

The affidavit, which is made a nart of the warrant. sets forth that on the 16th oz January, 1667, he was indebted to McHugh $50, for whiche he waz requested to sign an agreemen} to pay the game in nine months. That subsequently he was com- pelled to go inio the country to procure labor, and previously to leayingmpe city he empow- ered McHugh to collect (8 ren: on one of his houses;ihat McHugh did collect #16, which he (McH.) agreed should go to thediguidation of the amonnt, $50, which left due $31. That] on the 22d of July, whew he was absent from the city, and without any notice to deponeni, MeFingh cansed bis preperty 10 be exposed tor sale by Messrs.Green & William, aucts, under a deed of trust purporting to have been given by dponent, in which Leonare Kean is named as trustee. He says that sald deed was never given by him, but Me did belieye at the lime that he was siguing a simple agréement to pny the sum of £54; that the deed was ob- tarred by frandulent connivance, he being un- able to read or write. or to understand ‘wha. he was signing. and he co charges the part with obtaining said deed by fraud. He also charges that Kean was present at the sale and advised the anctioneer (Washington B. Wil- Hams) to knock down the preperty to McHugh for $i), and that said McHugh became the purchaser of the property at $900, the auc uoneer retusing to knock it down for $1(0, the Property being worth from $1,800 to £2,000, This affidavit was sworn to by the prosecuting witness, before Justice Walter, who also is- sued the warrant on whieh he was arrested Mr. J. Bell Adams, who appeared for ihe prosecution, had previously filed a bill in equity to set eeide the sale. Mr. L.G. Hine ap- peared for the defense Before the examination was commenced some words passed bet ween the counsel for the proeecntion and Mr, Kean. Mr. Adams speak- ing of Mr. Kean, referred tohim as a criminal, to which the latter replied, “You may be as big @ criminal as 1 am before you are done.” Dr. Adams.—(Advancing towards Kean and making @ motion with his hand as if to pull his nose.)—«What’s that, sir.’ Here Detective Bigley interposed, and the Justice ordered the parties to keep quiet, which they did after some such words as “puppy” were used. ‘Mr. Adams opened the case stating that he expected to show one of the darkest deeds of villainy ever perpetrated, and stated the facts he expected to prove. Mr. Hine briefly replied to Mr. Adams as- serting that he would show a different state of facts. ‘The examination of witnesses was then com- menced, and is in progress as we go to press, = prosey SUICIPE.—This morning Captain E.¥F. Ruth, @ clerk in ihe Indian Bureau, baling trom Tennessee, left his home cn Vir. ginia avenue. between Third and Four-and-a- halt streets, about five o'clock, and fears are entertained that be has drowned himself. Captain Rutb, for some years past, bas been addicted to the ue of opium, which has im- pured his mind, and about two months since he attempied to take his life by shooting him self In the head. He however recovered trom the effects of the wound, bat did not fully re- cover his mind, And recently he hss been act- ing quite strangely. A day or two since he ‘was onthe whart inquiring the depth of the water, and being informed that it was Duta 'w inches, he walked away. Lieut. Gess- ford was insormed this mornitig of the cireum- stunces of his leaving home, and on inaniry ascertamed that for a week past he has made Lis appearance at six o’clock every morning atthe wharf, at which hour there are always eople there, which would have foiled any attempt at suicide. Haying thus failed, t is probable that this morning he took an earlier bour. Lieut. Gesstord smmediately set two ™en Of his force to work dragging for the body near the wharf where Mr. Ruth was in the babit of going deiiy. The bat of the unfor- tunate man wa; found this morning in the Tiver.near the Sixth street wharf, and men were busily engaged this afternoon in grap- pling for his body. ——_~+—_ PROMOTIONS IN THE TREARURY DEPART- XENT.—The following promotions were made in the Treasury Department from the 15ta to Blet of July, 1667: , Registers Office—S.
