Surratt was resumed this morniag m the Criminal Court, before Judge Fisher,ind the room was crowded long before the opening of the Vourt. Atteno’ciock the jurors and prisoner were broughtin and the Court was opened, and at 20 minutes past 1y o'clock — Mr. Pierrepoint, for the prosecution, began bis argument to the jury. He aid, Yea, all that @ man has will he give for his life. He will lift his hand before Almighty God and swear that he is innocent of a crime, and just so far will counsel do the same. The other counsel have ail told you, that they know you and you knowthem. 1 know that | labor un- der great difficulties. I come before you a to- tal stranger, ard yetI havea kind of feeling that we are not strangers. I feel as though ‘we have a common origin, @ common country, 8 common religion,And hereafter should I meet you it will be not as strangers bat as friends. 1 did not want to come in this case. I had just taken my seat in the convention cali- ed to frame a new government for my Siate. The District Attorney feeling the magnitude of this case applied for assisiance, The Attor- ney General conferred with the Secretary or State, and on a letter from the Secretary 1 came to this city. and that is the way I came in the case. When the President of the United States- was assaisinated, I wasone of a committee sent on by the citizens of New York to attend nis funeral. Had I been there insulted in that East room by some enemy of my country, and 1 had repelled the insult, my fellow citizens duty Is to try to aid you in coming toa just conviction. When theevidence isreyiewed, an | persons leftout who had nothing to do with this case, you will see that in the whole histo. Ty of criminal jurisprudence no case was ever clearer proved: and gentlemen, I shall not at- tempt to convince you by bold assertions of I am ‘not here for that purpose. here for the purpose. of seeing whether under the Jaw this man arraigned before you is guilty as charged. My business is to Show yeu by the evidence that this prisoner is guilty. If I do that, I shall ask your verdict. Ifldont do thatl shall ne.therasked norexpect it. I shall show you that this p iy was concerned in this con- spiracy which rezal’-d. in 4he death of the rrecident. Iam not irre to prove Mrs. Sur- ratt’s guiltor innocence. I do not see why coum el should cone an the commission which tried tue conspirators; thus indirectly c-rsurivg the President; tor it was wellknown that Pre:.dent Jobnson’ ordered that commis. sion and signed the d-ath warrant in presence et. I hoidin my band the original Poper signed by the President, aiter it had been suggested ‘and recommended thet Mrs. TTAL's centence be commuted, and there it wing the paper towards can look atit. What is What we would do without right tor counsel fo assail the Gov- ernmen’, aud charge certain oflicers with wanting to Jap their tongues im the blood ot the innocent! Why should a great and gener- ous Goverument be pursuing men charged with murder! Where would we come to gen- tlemen. how long would our safety last? We have been told bere that our Government has thing of divinity which hedges ttabout I 1 you, gentlemen, if that is true, its days are numbered. No government that has not God in tt can last. ‘Governmentis of God, snd the powers that be are ordaimed of God. The voice of the people is the voice of God. Is it Roseible that our counsrymen will say that oar Fovernment has nothing of divinity! Does it Test alowe Without anything sacred in it? Once there was an Empire—the Empire of Rome—but they ceased to believe that God was im government. They ceased to punisa great crime, and iu a short time that great Empire tumbled down and wentto the dust. It will ever be so whenever people cease to obey God and to think that government is of God. Mr. P. bere read from the Bible (Old Testament) to show in what estimation government was held. ltistrde,as the counsel has said, that God 1s 8 God of mercy; but though he save [ ama God ot mercy, yet he says I will by no means clear the guilty. The counsel says we bave bad blood eneugh. The question betore you, gentlemen, is not have we nad blood enough, but it i¢ bave we not had murder and assassination enough, and let one jury ina civil Court say we have bad murder and assassina- tion enough, and we will stop it. 1tis not for you or 1 to say what the leniency snail be. If he is guilty our duty is to find out that fact. Aud pronounce & verdict According to that tact. If the Executive sees fitto be lenient it is noth. ing tous. Have you seen anything im the con- ductof my learned friend, the District Attor- ney, that was improper!’ Since night I have been shown the Rebellion Record, and I find on the 5th of January, Is6!, Edward C. Carrington issued a letter to call out the militia of this District to protect the Government. and thus early we find this patriotic gentleman taking the sideo! (;overnment. Thatis why they have so denounced and taken sides agains him. We have beep told that the Judge Ad- yocate General and Mr. Jobnson, and the Military Commission, have done many wrong things. We are told the Supreme Court de- clared the commission illegal. There is no such decision on record. Four persons convict- ed in that Court are now lying and in prison. 1 think you, gentlemen, knew when the witnesses came upon that stand who told the truth and who lied. You are men of basi- udcan judge Youhave had dealings with men. You know if Bissell or Campbeil told the truth. 1 think you know if every witness told the truth, for you have listened most allentively and conducted you yourselves ms men Wbohad g high and solemn duty to peiform. Now, gentlemen, 1 come to some iects in this case about Which there is no dis- pute. Every truth ts in perfect harmony with every other (ruth. God is a God of truth. If every [ling was truth there would be no crime. ‘The moment you violaie the truth every thing is outot joint, itis soim physical lite. 1t is so in themoral world. Men are slow to be- lieve this, but a Httle observation will snow how trueitus. You cannot violate ulaw of God but that you will be punished for it in this It always was co and always will be so. i may cheat your neighbor and cever it up so that the charge cannot be made, yet you may mark this asa certain truth that conf- dence will soon be lost to you. Now let us come to a truth. John Harrison entered vame on the Isthof April, 1665. im the rat St. Lawrence Hall, Montreal. There : the man is the prisomer at the bar tbat, he passed through the hotel, took no meal in the house, made no bill, but tied somewhere. Where did he ge! To the bouse of aman named Porterfield. He was concealed there until one night, when two men dressed exactly alike came out, took arate carriages, aud went different ways. Did he flee because he was engaged in this con- spiracy to kill Mr Lincoln! re does he gothen? To the bouse of Boucher, a priest. A priest who bas done no honor to his bon- cored church, Thus, gentlemen, when Surratt was caught, the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli hastened to give him up om accouat of his great crime, even before any demand was Inade by the United States. Gentlemen, that est will hear irom the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli berore he {s one year older. Sur- | was concealed in the house of Boucher. Fatt What was going on here? the other conspirators were here on trial. was there concesled—did he not know what The mother and He was going on? Let ussee. Here is a paper signed Toney, which says, “All right,” ad- dressed to A. G. Atzerodt, Washington, D. ©. Surratt put it iu the post office at New York. The Catholic Church never did sanction such crime as this, and bis holiness tbe Pope hastened to deliver up this man. I tell you again, gentlemen, this priest will hear {rom nis Pope and bishop in less than one year. in September, five months after, ne (Sarratt] goes on the steamer under the name of Mc- Carty, with spectacles and dyed hair. What heppened! He bad not been on the twenty minutes before he starts an is an Ameriean detective. He says to McMIl- «| have done such things as would make you stare? Why see a ghost behind every cord of the ship? He is innocent, they say. He finally told the secret—his guilty could not keep it. Criminals tell us they cai hot keep the secret of their crime. Finally comes 'o Ireland. What did be ther do? Tak tumbler after tambler of raw brandy. Why Wes tbat! Well, he landed in Ireland, but it Was 1 ot long before something seemed to whis- Prr in lus ear that ths gallant land had no (reason and murder, and he went to Liverpool. He hed not been there loug before something told him the air of Engiand conid uot be tainted by treason and murder, and he goes to Home. Sate there in the uniform of a zoaave. Sate! God Almighty doe not allow such crimipsls to be safe. It must haye been an ‘awful bour when be saw the face of St. Marie. bat ten? He walks down the road, tells St. Marie 'o rt by-gones be by-gones; that he és- caped from Washington on the morning of the 15th.

He makes a tearfal leap, and ea- capes to Malta, and from there to Egypt and there the collossal Sphynx looking at him, be asked Bimself: what protection can this dark monarchy afford a traitor and murderer? and he fled mo more, but gave bimseif ep with @ struggle, He is brought before the Grand Jury of your nd indicted for this crime.

As 1 have already said, gentlemen, this is the trial of one ofthose conspirators. ‘It is the first judicial trialever instituted to. one of those con- spirators.

We will take up the Capitol and remeve it where a public officer will be safe from assassination. Surratt is guilty or he is not guilty. It he is not guilty, he has been very badly treated. A great wrong has been done him. I propose to show that he is guilty, and if evidence ever did prove anything it proves the guilt of this man. I shall read you the evidence, and upon tl evidence I shall ask yeur verdict haye Iately acquired posses. sions from Russia.

Cameron migbt swear he had seen them grow there, like toad stools, and Dr. Bissell might swear he saw spiders weave the blanket and wrap the enild, but you would Mot believe either, We know that men having no other motive speak the truth. The only way we can decide iu buman affairs is beltevingin that great rule that men will tell thetrath. We know a weman will never desert her child unless she nas some great motive. We know a son will pet desert a mother unless he has some great motive. We know that tt is impossible for a man to be at two places at the same time; that does not need to be proved. You know that when a man bas some great motive, sach as to save bis life, he will take any means to do so. You know on most all triais an attempt msde to prove an alibi. As a great writer says, it is the defence forged in the world. Many honest witnesses swear bonestly of see- tng & person at another place; but, gentiemen, they diff-r astotime. [Mr. P. read from Wills on Evidence, p.51, t0 stow cases of proving alilisand where they had been proved falsely ] Our learned friends o n the other side has told Us that they could notsubscrtbe to the dociring that it was a higher crime to conspire again: and take the life of the President than it to murder an individual. Gentlemen, it much higber crime to murder the Preside: Itisa blow at the life of the nation, Ltisa crime of such beimousness as to admit of no accessories. The consequences are so mucn greater. Confusion is spread throughout the land. What said the civilized world upon this subject? A few days agol wrotes note to the Secretary of State, asking him to send me the letiers of condolence received by our Government, and he sent me this book of 717 pages, and gentiemen I hold in my hand the original paper, recolutions adopted by 13,000 rebel prisoners expressing their condolence and deploring the crime. The rebels con- demned it, all right-minded men conuemned and looked upon it asa higher crime than taking the hfe of an individual. Atl2.15 the court took a recess for half an hour. On reassembling at 10 minutes before one o'clock — Mr. Pierrepoint resumed his argument, and said: 1 do believe, gentlemen, you earnestly end honestly want to know tue evidence in this case, and I do not believe you will be in- fluenced by any other motives. You know, sentlemen, there are class of persons catied experts. It is well Known that no man can thoroughly disguise his hand. Each man has a hand-writing peculiar to himself. 1t cannot be disguised. No man can twice write his name alike. You may write your name once and 10,000 times after that, and you cannot pince, those signatures one over the other and ave them exactly fit the first. You can't dis- guise your voice, and you can't disguise your walk. Now you in your various callings of business know you are expert in your goods and your wares, or whatever you are doing. Im the city of New York, fn the Assistant ‘Treasurer’s office. there isan expert of coin. He can pass over a basket full of coin and.take out the base coin. It comes of men devoting themselves to one business. Now il seems there are experts in relation to moral ques- tions, and to evidence, and persons well know when a man is uttering the truth and when he is uttering a falsehood. I now come to the positive evidence. 1 had occasion to remark ‘o the Court that it was proper to look at the position of the parties charged. Men don’t commit a crime without an object, and we are to lock and see the motive. In March, 1963, Mrs. Surrait was keeping a tavern at a’ place called Surrattevil.e. ‘The husband died in 1462, and there were left the son e daughter Auna, and the prisoner at the bar. As all the lacts show, they were poor, and she inoved to this city, aud Opened # boarding house in this city, atti H street. Her elaest son was in the revel army in Texas; the other son a full grown man. Now let us see what were the feebngs of this family towards the Govern. Ment at that time, which feeling afterwards resulted in murder. Mr. P. here referred to the testimony of Tippett, where he said he had heard Mrs. Surratt say she would give $1,000 to any one to kil! the President. And whenever there was avictory had heard Jobn Surratt say the leader of the northern army ought to be in hell. In December, 1863, Surratt received bis first introduction to Booth, and 1 propose to show you where he was with bim,.nd bow he was connected with him, until the nnal consumation of this conspiracy. Mr. P. here read trom the testtmony of Weichman as to the introduction-between Booth, Mudd and Surratt, ang their interview at the National Hotel, and eaid now that is the first time Sur- ratt met Booth. There was nothing absut the purchase of Mudd’s farm, and there is no truth in it. They were drawing lines for an- other purpere When ple are engaged in doing something they do not want known. they are very apt to let their secret out, and by their extreme caution to keep the con versauou from Weichman, this shows that there was nothing abont the purchase of Dr. Madd’s tarm. Mr. P. read from the testimony of Mr. Dunn, of the Adams Express office, to show when Surratt was employed there, and his at- tempt to get leave of absence. and referred to the card found in Bovth’s pocket, sigued by Surrau, stating “1 *tried to get leave but could not, sol took it.” This is wha’ the connsel on the other side calls a magic chain, but there is nO magic chain about it. Mr. P. next referred to the testimony of Mr. Martin as to seeing Sur- ratt and Atzerodt im Maryland, and asked, What do you sup Surratt retarned to Woshington for in the night! It was not to return to Adsms’ Express, for he never had leave from there. 1 next come to the register of the Maltby House, in Baltimore. On the 2ist cay of that same month, January, you will see here entered Louis J. Weichmaa, J. Harrison Surratt, room 127. Now. what does Bil this mean? It is oue of those little links in acbam wbdieh bind trath to truth. He next read from the testimony of Weichman to show that Surratt, om the morning of the 22d, took & cartiage, said be was going to see some ge! tlemen on private business, and did not want Weichman to know. He next rend the testimony to show that Payne boarded at the bouse of Mrs. Branson in January, and stopped there abont six weeks. Tha: ts another link in this c ain, and it ismota chan. meeting of Surratt and Payne in Baltimore Was for something, and 1 leave it to yeu to say whatit was. Surratt met Atzerodt about the ‘1th or 12th of January. A few days after that Atzerodt came here, went to Mre. Surratt’s house, and was introduced by Surratt bim- self. Mr. Pierrepoint here read from the testimony of Weichman to show the in- timacy between Booth, Atzerodt and Surratt, at . Surratt's house, and as to meeting Payne at Mrs. Tratt’s hi 2 part of February, 1865. a private room and by order of Bre.

Fatt tells him not t be so d—a taanvides. Yon understand that mystery now The ina: cert girl and Weichman were with Mrs. Sur- Tatt when she engaged the room. Mr. a H. Bradley, jr., said’ it was not in accordance with the’ practice gf the Uourt to allow counsel on the other ei inverrapt during the atgument, bat he asked th Court if the counsel for the defense could have an opportunity of making @ correction after the gentleman closed, of any facts misstated by him in bis argument. Judge Fisher said certainly the counsel had orem to do that Tek bo dus Metin eebcaa, T. Pierrepoint sai Bot intend toal- low them to do 0, as he would read the evi- dence, and not cite frommemory. Mr. P. co: tinuea and said:—You will find, gentiemen, ail Kinds of excuses made by Snrratt. He even writes a leiter to Brooks Stabler, before ving for Richmond, semding the horses back, and saying he did not know when he return as he had woman on the brain. . P. continued reading from the evidence of Weichman as to the return of Surratt trom Richmond, on April 3d, he always having lenty of money and yet you see gentlemen, e was & young man without any means, any position. and his mother a poor woman in the City of Washington. Mr. P. n the testimony of Erooks Stabler, Teceived by him from Sarfatt. amere blind? He bi ‘wom: br: that he got upon tnee he wrote the tried to Tt leave.” From what source did he get his money? Where did he buy hii did he get mone: P. next horses? Where to pay for their livery? Mr. gneiss m the testimony of Stabler ing Booth, Herold and Surratt together table; also the letter received by Atze- rodt from Surratt, dated Richmond, but the contents of which Atzerodt refused to tell and the private conversations held by them at the rear end of the stable. Mr. P. next referred to the testimony of James Pumphrey to show that Sarratt vouched for Booth when he hired the horse frem bfrordicpae 6 He next read from the testimony to show when the Horses were hired by Atzerodt and Herold. He then read from the tesiimony of Mr. Toffey to stow when and where the horse was captured which had been hired by Atzerodt. I now call your attention to the testimony of Mr. Samuel Rainey; he ga: hebas known Mr. Cleaver many years; w: in business with him 8 or 9 months; and that he knew Surratt and Booth; and on one occa aion Surratt came there to geta horse. Mr. P. then read from tne testimony of Wm E. Cleaver. He states he knew Booth and Sorratt; knew Surratt about twelve years, Booth first took the horee to his stable to keep on the first of January, 1965. First Booth brought to the stable a blind Dorse, and after- ‘wards a light bay horse. Surratt hired a horse trom bim two or three umes. Booth and Sam- uel Arnold came to the stable together. The counsel eay because Cleaver has shown him- self a man of violent passion in a certain way he can’t tell the truth. Men may have 4 pu sion tor liquor, and @ passion for other things, but their truth was not to be doubted. . | Cieavers bad not told the trath, it was the easiest thing in tbe world t but they have not bronght a sin contradict him. Surtatt told Oleaver he was going to T. B. to a dance, not tbat he had ‘woman on the brain, He told bim that be and Booth were going to Kill Abe Lincoln; they had bloody work todo. He was drunk’ then; and threatened as to the great things he was going to co. Finally Booth came, and Sur- ratt censured him for being so Iste. I shall bave occasion, gentlemen, in another part of this case, to show you how that testimony was and whatever: Abuse the other side chose to heap upon Mr. Ashley or any one else; Clea. ver does not deserve any. He told this confi. dentially to Dis fellow prisoner, and a member of Congress got hold of acquainted the Dis. trict Attorney of the fact, and it was forced out of Dim. I now come to another Paice of testi. mony, that of John M. Lioyd.* Mr. Bradiey charged him with being in the conspiracy him- self; charged him with being adrankard. He was not drunk when he gave his testimon: He was not drunk when the officer were then in pursuit of Booth, and Herold. He lied to them. He says he did. I believe no man rejoiced more at this murder than he. 1 believe he knew something was to be done, and he tried to conceal it; but hi timony is not the less strong on that groun Mr. P. here read from the testimony of Lloyd. He cays he knew David E. Herold and Geo. Atzerodt; had seen them in company with tne prieoner at the bar. Herold said he was obliged togo to T. B. They all returned together. They came in and took a drink. and were playing cards. After a while Sur- rait called me in the front parior; two guns, @ coil of rope and a monkey-wrench were there. He wished me to conceal those things. This, gentleman, is the prisoner, and a little while before this murder. Haye you any doubt, gentlemen, that Lloyd knew that mischief was brewing. He krew enough to make him guilty. I admitall that Mr. Bradley He met Surratt coming to Washington aboul two weeks before the assassina'ion. coming to Washington on the stage. He saw Mrs. Snrratt on Tuesday before the assassination. She was in company with Weichman. He says she told him to have the shooting-irons ready. This was the day of the murder, gentlemen. How did she know her con nad concealed thore irons there? Am 1 drawing any wrong inference? itnota fair statement! What do yon say aboutit? What will yon say when you go betore your God? She wag at Surratts- ville on the evening of the murder. I now come to the day of themurder. What did she do! She handed Lioyd a package; we trace the package; that’s the package, (holding up the field glasses) and said get those things, or the guns, and two bottles of whiskey, and give them to whoever calls’ for them that night. Now what will yon do with that evidence. Gentlemen, will you brash it away? IfsoLhope you will teli our fe citizens why, when you come out. Lloyd saw the words “fleld on the glass. You will find them there now, gentle. men. Herold was there about twelve o'clock that sight. You remembera little af- ter 10 the murder was commited. He did not know who was with Herold. He did not want to tell it was Booth. He tried tokeep itin. Herold said: Mr. Lioyd, torGod’s sake, mske haste and get those things renay. The man with Herold asked Lloyd if there were any doctors about. He said bis leg was broken. You will see the great strugzie we had to get out of this witness that the man with Herold was Booth. He did not want to tell when be first heard of the assa. sination— finally he drawls it out, +I first heard of it tbat night.” The man with the broken leg did not say what he did, but said he or they killed the President. Attwenly minutes past 3, Mr. Pierrepoint announced that be would stop for to-day: and the court took & recess until 10 o’clock Monday morning. rt SEIZURE OF WAISKKY.—Internal Revenue Collector Clephane, yesterday, seized at the railroad depot twenty barrels of whiskey on suspicion that the Internal Revenue tax had not been paid on it. The whiskey was con- signed as follows:—Five barrels to Beall & Baker; one barrel to H. Browning; ten bar- rels to Peter Fegan & Co., and four barrels to S. Bacon & Co. That consigned to H. Brown. ing, Peter Fegan & Co., and 8S. Bacoa & Co., ‘was subsequently releaced on satisfactory evi- dence presented of the tax having been paid. ‘We understand it is the intention of Collec- tor Clephane to seize all whiskey coming to this District, and hold the same until proper evidence is presented that the tax bas been paid. It would be well for our merchants or- dering whiskey from abroad to notify the col- Jector,and file with him the proper evidence, 80 as to avoid its seizure on arrival. This ac- tion of the collector is done for the purpose of iting a stop to illicit whiskey coming to this : —_ and a8 @ protection to the honest jealers. 4} ——_e—_ Reat Estars.—The following transfers of Teal estate were to-day reporied. at the Heal Estate Exchange of R.

THEIR FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AS AN INVESTMENT. The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaba, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an un- broken line across the continent, attracts attention to the value of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company now offer@o the public. The first ques- tion asked by prudent investors is, “Are these Next, “Are they a profitable To reply in brief: Ist. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific is as certain as any future business event can be. ‘The Government grant of over twenty millfon acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically gnarantees it. One-fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles aday. 2d. The Union Pacific Ralroad bonds are issued upon what promises to be one of the most profit- able lines of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the only line connecting the At- lantic and Pacific; and being without competition it can maintain remunerative rates. 3d. 376 miles of this road are finished, and fally equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, &c., and two trains are daily running each way. The ma- terials for the remaining 141 miles to the eastern base >{the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and is under contract to be done in September. 4th. The net earnings of tho sections already finished are several times greater than the gold in. terest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and if not another mile of the road were built, the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. 6th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be ssued only as the road progresses, and therefore can never bein the market unless they represent a bona fide property. 6th, Their amount is strictly limited by law to sum equal to what is granted by the United States Government, and for which it takes a second lien as its security. This amount upon the first,517 miles west from Omaha is only $16,008 per mile. 7th. The fact that the United States Government considers a second lien upon the road a good in- vestment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which is to them @ third lien) may well inspire confidence in a first lien. 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there ai parties who consider a first mortgage upon such property as this the very best security in the world, and whorell their Governments to re-invest in these bonds—thus securing a greater interest. 9th. Asthe Union Pacific Railroad bonds are of- fered for the present at 90 cents on the dollar and accrued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being 15 per cent. less than U. 8 Btocks. loth. At the current rate of premium on gold they pay @VEB NINE PER CENT. INTEREST. The daily wubscriptions are already large, and they will continue to be received in Washington by 3g WIRST NATIONAL BANE, NATIONAL BANK OF THE REPUBLIC, and BITTENHOUSE, FOWLER & 00., and. by BANKS AND BANKERS gonerally througheut the United States, of whom maps and aescriptive pamphlets may be obtained. They will also be sent by mail from the Company’s Office, No. 20Nassan street, New York, on application. Sub- cribers will select their own Agenta in whom have confidence, who alone will be responsible to them for the safe delivery of the bonds. Afiairs ning tet Accpgnt.—The ys that T. A.
