Surratt was resumed bis morning m the Criminal Qourt before dge Fisher, and it bemg generally sapposed tbat the case would be closed to-day, tbe room was densely crowded long before the Court was opered. At ten o'clock the jurors and prisoner were brought in, and the Court was called to order at 10 2y. Mr. Pierrepoint resumed bis argument for the prosecution. He said you remember Mr. Merrick asked us why we did not produce the ord of the conspiracy trial. You will re- member I brought the record here and handed it to the counsel during my argument. A part ot that record contained @ recommendation {rom thé members of the court to the effect that one of the condemned being & female, the: ‘would respectinlly suggest that her sentence de commuted to imprisonment for life. 1 want no misunderstanding &boutthis. T ‘Was in the hand-writing of oneof the of theconrt, Gen. Ein. The original paper ‘was in the band-writing of the Assistaat -ludge Aavocate, Hen. John A. Bingham. ‘When the counsel asked for that record, £ sent to the Judge Advocate General. He brought me the record himself, and told me himself that it was the identical record befort ihe President, and the part of that reoord con. taining the recommendation was before the President when he signed the warrant of exe- cutton, and he had @ conversation at the time, cn that very subject, with the Judge Advocate General. Mr. P. stated that tae Judge Advo- cate General wns his authority for making this Statement. Mr. Pierrepoint then referred to the tesumopy of Wood, the barber, and said the counsel for the defense say that Sarratt could not have been at bis shop at the time Wood said he was. I will show you he was there. Mr. P. then read from the testimony of Wood. He tells you Surratt was a: his shop sbomt 9 o'clock. He thought that was the time. He had been to Secretary Sew: had his breaktast’ The days were shorter uen, and it took him some time to go to Secre- tary Seward’s and then get bis breakfast, and there 1s no doubt that Surratt was in Dis shop. Dir. P. next referred to the testimony of Rhodes, as to seeing the prisoner in the box at Ford's Theatre. The end of the stick to fasten the door bad been sawed off, for the purpose of making the eud to fit in the hole soraewhat ler. Mr. P. next read from the testimony of Judge Olin, He wen! to the theatre to exam- jue the premises and described the bole in the rand the wall. Now, gen'lemen, that lit- Is tact examined into jnst after thisctime was nmitted, shows that that bar was fitted Fe Just before ihe deed was done. It goes »confirm Mr. Rnodes. I come now to the e-liuomy of Dr. Oleavyer. He says he was bere on the day of the assassination was out cr ving. snd came down H street.

Mr. P. ext read ‘rom the testimony of David U.

You must epexk of this trial. Pierrepoimt.—I spoke of the conspiracy Mr. Merrick —We are not to take the con- spirscy trial but this trial. Mr. Pierrepoint.—Well, I think he said it *. (To Mr. Carrington)—Look and see: I y be mistaken. Mr. Pierrepoint continued, | sad read from the testimony of Reed. He had on spurs, and you bave beard testimony about nose eight prof spurs in John Surratt’ om at Mrs. Sarratt’s house. “Mr. P next re. Ted to the testimony of Mr. Vanderpool He came bere with no object except to do jus- tee. He knew Jotun Wilkes Booth in New york. He belonged to the Lone Star lub wih bim. On the Lith of April be saw Joon Wilkes Booth and spoke with him, first near Willard’s, next on the left haad side of Penn- s)ivapia avenue, between Jib and Ith, or2ith avd 12th. He saw the prisoner with Wilkes Hooth and two or three others. They were siting aronnd a round table with glasses on ' He bad not been contradicted tn one single ning, as I will prove to you. He did not tes- that there was any exbibition or concert there. One single woman came ont and ed. He saw Booth and Sarratt ptainly welve or fitteen feet from them. Was bi there apy motive for this man to lie! He could not be mistaken, and he is posi. tive, and entirely so. An attempt was made to discredit him. not by proving that he was notat the place he said he was but by producing witnesses to testify that there Was Ho exMibition at Metropolitan Hall in the ternoon anderpool did not testify any- ing ahou ypolitan ifall, or about —D He Siig the hall wason Pennsylvania ‘They were mignty careful to keep om Teutonia Hall, which was the hall where Vaugerpel saw Booth. Mr. P. here esd from the testimony of Vauderpoel. He uld mot sy poeitively to the name of the boll. Teuronia Hall 28 on the south side ot Pennsylvania ayenne, between Oth and lth sireets. That is the hall where Vanderpool saw Booth. They & :enearsal therein tbe day ume. They have not called a single witness to show yon that this oid not take place at Teutovia Hall. Mr. P. xt referred to the testimony of Jonn Lee. He kuew Jobn H. Surratt py sight. He recog. nized Surratt here. Ail the witnesses tell you be bad no goatee oa, Yon wont findin any of this evidence auy two things that do not come im harmony. The reason is they are all truth, and trath Will beim harmony. Lee met John Surratt near Steinmetz’s hat store. Mr. P. hext referred to the testimony of Scipione Grillo. He met Herold anda man whom he tok to be the prisoner, at Willard’s hotel. He thought the prisoner was the man, bat was no: certain. He had a moustache. All the wit- nesses tell you he had no beard but a mous- tache. Mr. P. next referred to the testimony of Mr. Coleman. He saw Booth on the avenne, between loth and itn streets. He was en- enged there im earnest conversation with an- oiuer man Booth was very pale. He was tolking with @ young man in grey clothes; the prisoner certainly looked like the man. ‘Mr. ¥. next referred to the testimony of Taltavull. He kept the restaurant next to the theatre. Booth was in bis reatanrant and got some Whiskey on the lsth, before the murder. fr. P. next referred to the testimony of Susan Jackson, and said any one experienced in hu- man testimony knew the witnesses most to be relied upon, were frequently persons ofsimple intellect. Chudren, women, and men of simple intellect always teli'the tratn, and When a witness is telling the truth no lawyer can disturb that witness by cross-examination. Bir. P. here read from the testimony ef Susan m. She saw the prisoner in’ the dini ’s, When she was gat ing up some clothes for the wash She asked a: ‘hey were for Mr. Weichman. Mrs. Surratt replied, no, they were for her son. Mr. Hol- joban tells you be fouud some of Surratt’s clothes clean on the bed. Me put two of the bandkerchiefs in bis pocket. Do you think this colored woman made up that story, and certainly counse! did not put tt into her head. Sbe identified the prisoner,and saw him on at evening when she took in the pot of tea. t was on the 14th of April. between $ and 9 jock im the evening. Surratt came in the ing room after Weichman wentout. The rcot is clear and perfect thaton the 3d of April, he was only at the housea few minutes; ent out before seven oclock; went to the ttropolitan and took his supper there. Cspiain Smith made the examination of Sesan Jackson and put it in Writing. MM: Bradley objected, and would not let us puc it in. ‘I wanted fo pat it before you, but y did not want it. Susan Ann Jackson ssw Surratt im the dining-room on the Friday hist belore Easier Sanday, the might of the Sesnssination. She cid cot ‘see bim there on ‘by night of the 3d of April. Mr. P. next r lerred to ‘he tes'imony of Mr. Heaton. He ‘Wee in fromtof the theater before the assa: Sesion. He saw the President’s carriage when st drove up, and saw persons around it. He came in court and snw the prisoner, and immeciately saw a distinct resemblance berween the prisoner and @ person be saw locking im that carriage. Mir. Heaton is acierk in the General Lana Office, and If it were pos- Sibleit was Qneasy matter to impeach bim. ir. P. next referred to the testimony of Sergt. Lye. We were told in the opening speech that gt. Dye was going to be impeached. Did you bear anybody say a word against that soldier? Any record brought against him ef suy kimdt You beard they were going to make outhe passed counterfeit money. Did bat We try to prevent them from doing it Gilgebt 38 they Dave been bave brought some man_ to Against bis character if When told there was termined to find out Whstit was.

Mr. Merrick.—It 1s the first we have of it,and it been done since we attempted ‘o impeach him. Mr Pirrrepoint.—\ don’t think the gentle. men did know the record, or they would uever bave made thecharge. [At this time there was some laughing im the room, and Jadge Fisher instructed the Marshal to direct the bailiffs to arrest any one found disturbing the good order of the court, no matter who it was.] Mr. Pierrepoint resumed, and read t movy of Sergeant Dy: teati- He tells you there wag * pictnge op that coun’ ee not easily to be foreovten. Now, gentlemen, that is very true, for they were then abont to commit this awful c ime. As Sergeants Dye and Uooper were going out H street, a lady hoisted the wiidow and asked what was wrong down town. When Webster murdered Dr. Park: was told they bad found the body, 5 ave they found it all?’ The woman asked Sergeant Dye how he knew Booth killed the President. Mr. P. next referred to the testimony of Ser- geant Cooper, who was with Sergeant Dye. Cooper was walking up and down, while Dye Was sitting on the platform. He conversed ‘with Sergeant Dye. He saw aman approach the rear of the carriage, and took in, and saw a ie agg Sm standing near the wall of the theater. Wherever you find witnesses not situated exactly alie, and they come vpon the stand and e swears to the same identical facts, you may rest assured that their story is made up. No two men see alike; no two men hear alike, One tells what he heard and saw. and the other tells what he heard and saw. It {s true that men do not see and hear alike. Now, gentlemen. before the theatre by three men is Booth seen; before the theatre by three men is Surrait reen. When the last time is called, Booth goes into the drinking place, takes his drink, and waiks into the theatreand murders the President. It was on the very day when the President had been with Gen. Grant and his Cabinet to devise means te be lenient and merciful to the South By the side of his wife, by the side of his friends, be is stricken d by the assassin’s hand. Yet my friends say “Haye we not had blood enough?” Doyou say the plotters in that crime are innocent? ‘The whistle for the signal sounde, when Booth goes in to murder tne President and Payne goes to murder the Secretary of Stal His daughter from the shock goes toler grave, and the wife within 3 few weeks of the hour of aseassination dies. Haye we not had blood enough! And now won't we stopit! The civilized world expressed their condemnation of it; 13,000 rebel prisoners at Point Lookout pnt their seal of condemnation on it. ‘This deed done. Herold and Booth flee forth- with to tbe house of the mother of this pris- oner to get the arms, the ammunition, and whisky, which he and his mother bad pre- pared Witb those arms they escape, but are taken and reught bere as iiving witnesses Now, gentlemen, who did the deed? 1t wat at first supposed that Jobn Surratt had at- tempted to kill Mr. Seward, but it was subse- quently ascertained to be Payne. What be- came ol him! Atter wandering about he re- turned to the house where the plot originated, nnd there he was arrested. No jury yet has passed on one of these crimes. The world looks on you; your friends Jook on you, and your God look’s on you. Mr. P. then referred to the tes imevy of Mr. Ramsdale. He was on the Bladensburg road. a short dietance from this city. He saw the prisoner on the horse hired vy Atverod); be appeared shakey and nervous, ust as be appeared when be got on the steamer to goto England. Where did the prisoner go This horse has hever been found: theotkers have been. Where the horse is 1 don’t know; but the man who Tode it has been found. ‘We find him on ‘he boat from Whitehall to Barlington, Vermont. He gets to the depot in Barling- tom. and a short man is with him. They take the train and burry off. Just after they leave, Mr. Blinn, who kept the depot, picks up a handkerchief where the tall man iny, and onit is written the fatal name of John H. Surratt. Next we find them on Mr. Ho- barvs train. The tall man tries to talk Canuck, but when Le gets carnest, and wants tobe al- l-wed to remain on the ‘rain, he forgets the Canuck, and speaks good English. Mr. P. here yead from the testimony of Mr. Btinn. As to the finding of the bandkerchiet and the two men sleeping In the depot, this, remember, ia while Hollohun is here in the city of Wash- ington. Mr. P. next read from the testimony ot Mr. Hobart, and next from the testimony of Chapin, and said this will show you that is all irne as to Surratt losing the handierchief, and it being found by Mr. Blinn. Chapin saw the | handkerchiet before Hollohan had any chance to lore his, Mr. Pirrrepoint bere announced that he ‘would not be able to close befure recess, and suggested that a recess be taken, and at 12.35 the Court took a recess for half an hour. On reassembling, at 1.15 o’clock— Mr. Pierrepoint resumed his argument. He said Mr. Hobart had shown that the train on which Surratt was reached Montreal at 9.45. But Surratt did not ccntinue on that train, but left at St. Albansand went in another direction, and did uot reach Montreal until some ume afterwards. John Surratt was here in the city of Washington on the night of April 3, and he is registered im St. Lawrence Hall m. on the Sth of April. He could certainty come from Montreal here in tne same time that be went from here to that place. Won't the gentlemen tell us why Surrati went 1m disguise—wby be was secreted in Montreal? ‘They say he is guilty of no crime: why was he secreted at Boucher’s house? They say he is innocent; why did he flee? Mr. P. here read from the Bible the curse pronounced on Uain. He then read from the evidence of St. Marie, where he asked the prisover how he got ou: af Wasbington. Surratt teld him he left that night or the next morning: that he was disguised, and Jooked like an Englishman. He had a scarf on, and thus did be escape. and thus did he aitempt to pat off bis broken Englieh to Hobart, ‘We have aiways learned that truth was stran- ger than fletion. The defense attempted to prove that Dye was lying. and bronght Gif. ford to show that Dye was not on that plat- form. Then they brought on little Hess to show that be was there—to show that he was calling the time. and be was the perzon whom Jvye heard call the time. Mr. Phere reterred to the testimony of Messrs. Garlin and Hess. Hees says be wasin x song to be sung after she periormance of the American Govsin. Hemet Mr. Carlin Mr. Gifford at the door of the theater, and after Jeaving them retarned to the theater. One lie generates another, and an- other, unul ten thousand are made. 1 am hot afraid of & Mar om the stand, but it is the truth that is to be feared. Hess tells vou ‘he play was not near over when the Presidert was Killed, and he admits on ercss-exem#vation that be was not wanted on the stage until after the close of the play. Mr. P. again read from the Bible to show where talse witnesses never agreed with each other. You remember the testimony as to Sergeant Dye and Sergeant Cooper passing Mrs. Sar- raiv's house. The defense felt the force of thrt, and attempted to contradict ft. They first brought a Dutchman who bud a house on spotber street. He heard uo one talking. the street was still. He could not ell what kind of weather it was; all he knew was that he was there until 11 o'clock. They did not pat his wife on the stand. If they had, she would have told you that she put her husband to bed that nigbt, and that he hadaquantity of erin him. ‘Then they bring Mrs. Lambert on the stand She says she first came out on the porch and then went to the window. She says a great many were passing by. The Dutebman says no one passed. Mrs. Lambert says it was between 11 and 12 o'clock at night when she heard the conversation. She meant to be truthtul, and stated positively it was be- tween IL and 12. Long before that time Ser- geunts Dye and Cooper were at their camp. We next bear of another physical impos-tbility from the counsel, the Phyacical impossibility of Surralt getting from Montreal to Elmira, And going over itall they brought him there finally at 3 o'clock at night on the 13th. Before that, they had him there all the time, talking ‘with people on the day of the 13tb, We did not take any pains to show bim about Elmira, We bad him in Washington. Mr. Bradley interrupted, and said the prose- cution had brought Surratt down the road, and the defence thougnt it unnecessary to go on the Ogdensburg road. Mr. Pierrepoint resumed, and said the pros- ecution put Surratt on ne traia. They tound bim in Elmira and brought him to Washington. Mr. P. here read from the testimony to show bow Jong Surratt was at St. Lawrence Hallon the 18th, and said there was evidence to show what time he reached there. The fact was he was in Elmira and came here to Washington on the 14th. Mr. P. here read from the testi- mony ot Rev. Mr. Boucher. He first saw the prisoner in St. Leboirne. He old prisoner was named Charles Armstrong. Why od he take that name if he was inaocent? Why changebie name! Counsel tells us he Was not engaged in this conspiracy. This man Boucher secrets him, ard months after that, Surratt was in Home, and the head of the ch which Boucher williti gave bim up, even before ademand was mad Neither the Pope nor the Bishops, none of tue people of that noble Whurch tolerated this crime, and the sbame which Boucher has brought upon hisCharch wiil be wiped out by that Cburch fteelf. Surratt left acher’s house aboutthe last of July and then went in concealment to the house of Lapierre. What was tbat for? All of those who had been ar- Tested bad been tried. ratt had written to Atzerodt; knew where bis mother was, and he, an innocent’ man, lies there in| this conceaiment. Would not any honest man go before the authorities and say «nere lam. You have charged me witn acrime, I am innocent.” Yet. when peace has been stored, why does be fe ‘sboard of the Perovian under disgnise? Why flee to sirange land, where be could not undevstand the language? Why does be flee to Maita, and to pt! Why ail this ifheis an inno. cent man! He is notinpoceat, and you know it. Boucber should have i Redes like Lapierre, end away. , however, since I have been speaking, that Lapierre has alresdy been punisned the church.

Mir P. next read from the testimony of Dr. McMillan, and saidit was the history of all erime that it ‘was cure to be confessed at some time. After reading a ater portion of the testimony of Dr. McMillan, Mr. Pierrenoint said we have traced Surratt to Rome apd hack to this city, where be was indi ‘and placed before you for trial. He had wandered over the whole world. in Providence of God you 12 are selected tosay whether itis & crime he has committed, or whether it isall right. 1 am bow nearly done. Before finishing I pass to. the alibi. Itis aneasy thimz to fix. up; the easiest defence in the world. It is the weak- est one Lever eaw introduced in a Court of Justice It is impossible for it to be true. The ‘witness Carro! he saw Surratt at Elmir: was in Elmira on the 13th, there isno doubt about that, and al. the mistake has grown out of that fact. Mr. P. here read the testimony of Carroll. and argued that Usr- Toll could only fix the date of seeing Surratt in Ejmira by the books of the store in which he ‘was employed, and could not remember any date except that on which the entry in the cash book was made. He next read the testimony of Mr. Steward. He testifies as to Surratt being at store on the 13th or 14th, but he eousd not tell on which day. He next read the teetimony of Mr. Atkinson. He states that a member of the firm where he was employed Jett for New York on the 12th, and returned on the 15th, and caw Surratt at the store between those datee. He had no censure to cast upon those witnesses, but believed they testified honestly. Mr. P. nextread from the testimony of Mr. Cass. He conid not remémber the day on which he &@w Surratt. 1 mow come to the testimony of Dr.Biesell,he says hesaw Surratt in Elmira on the 14th. Now as he is the oni} Witness Who swears positively, we must lool atbim. Now let us see about him. Mr. P. here read trom the testimony of br. Bissell, and said there was no truth in Ais rey Temembered nothing about the Brainard Hou Mr. P. next read from the testimony of Mr. ‘Wetmore, a Jawyer in New York. He testified that he thought Dr. Bissell was not in Elmira on the 14th of April, but to the best of memory Dr. Biseell was in the office of Mr. Wetmore, in New York city. Bissell’s character for trath ana veracity was very bad. Witness came voluntarily, and gave him the most blasted reputation that I ever heard in a court of justice. He could not give a description ot acything he saw in Elmira, and 1 don’t believe he ever saw the place. I could see through his dull eyes the generating of perjury in his brain, like flies in a rotten carcass. “Tbere was not a word of truth in what he said. Gentlemen, I'am now through. 1had no expectation of keeping you so Jong. L cannot express my feeling of gratitude for your kind attention. 1 have neverseen men isten so Well and eo long.

Mr. Bradjey asked if the Court would give the case to the jury this evening. Judge Fisher said the jury had made the re- quest that they should have the case as early as possible. Mr. Bradley said there were many correc tons which he desired to make in the evidence. Mr. Carrington thought it would bea dan- gerous precedent to allow counsel for defence to make any s!atements after the argument was closed. Mr. Merrick tid he would only correct cer- tain misstatements of evidence. Judge Fieher said the attention of the Court could be called to misstatement:, and they would be corrected ifany misstatements were mude. Mr Bradley asked if the case would goto the jury this evening. Judge Fisher said the jury had requested to bave the case a early as possible. Several jurors upon being asked said they were willing that a recess be taken until to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock. The Court took a recess until 10 o'clock to-morrow morn- ing ————_—_ A FaRwver’s Runaway WIFE OvER- HAULED.— About & month ago there arrived in Frostburg, Maryland, a gentleman and lady with a tte girl’ about six years of age, and the party engaged board there fora month. The gentleman was about twenty-five years of age,and the woman abont five years his senior. Notwithstanding they passed them- selves off us man and wife, there were some doubts expressed by the residents and sojourn- ers in that locality as to the parties being really married. Gradually these doubts passed away, as the fond couple appeared to live only to love each other, and the community of Frostburg nad nearly come to the conclusion tuat by doubting the pair they bad wrouged them. On Friday last, however, a piin, hon- ¢s!-lookipg farmer, about thirty-toree years of age, residing m oue of the lower countivs ef Maryland, arrived in the town, and soon the community was all ina flutter to know what was going on: the farmer having tor- raally made complaint to a magistrate that pis wife'and child were living witha young man, and also requesting some of the leading men of the town to accompany him to the bouse where the parties were enscenced. Accordingly, the farmer, accompanied by the Inagistrates and leading men, proceeded to the bouse,and walking in found the parties at home. The young man, on seeing the bus- band before him, became somewbgé alarmed, and acked,excitedly, if he (the faMher) had a pistol, to which the jatter replied that he was not one of that kind, and turning to his wife asked after his child, saying: “I want to take ber home with me; but as for you, { don’t care adrotted bit. 1 won't pay your board nor his, (pointing to the young man,) but the child’s board I’m willing to pay.” The wife appeared to take things quite indifferently, bu: finding that the young man hadn’t the stamps, and was waiting a remittance, she, at jast ac- counte, seemed to be not quite so indifferent, and bad almost made up her mind to return to her home; the husband being anxious to shield her reputation as well as that of her family. lt is very probable that the reunited family may pass through Washington in a day or two, but notwithstanding the wife originally came from this city, we doubt if she will wish to stay here a great whil pee es THE WorRKHoves.—Judging from the num- ber of commitments the justices every day make out, by which offenders of the law sent to the workhouse, there to serve out the term specified in their commitments, this recep- tacle for those who are unable to pay the fives imposed upon them when they break over the bonds of the Jaw, must by this time be full to overflowing.

The rapid progress of the Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, and forming, with its western connections, an un- broken line across the continent. attracts attention | » the value ofthe First Mortgage Bonds which the | Company now offer to the public. ‘The first ques- tion asked by prudent investors is, “Are these bonds secure?” Next, “Are they a profitable investment?" To reply in brief: Ist. The early completion of the whe line to the Pacific is as certain as any future Dusiness event can be. The Government grant of over twenty million acres of Tand and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One-fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles le great The Union Pacific Ralroad bonds are issned 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- jentic and Pacific; aud being without competition it can maintain remnnerative rates. 3d. 376 miles of this road are finished, and fully equipped. with depots, locomotives, cars, &¢., aud two trains are daily running each way. The ma- terials for the remaining 14! 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 the 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 Ccmpany. Sth. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be sgued 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 .akes a second lien as ite security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only $16,00@ per mile. 7th. The fact that the Untted States Government considers a second Hen 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 a third lien) may well inspire confidence in s first jen. ( sth. Although it is not claimed that there can be any better securities than Governments, there are parties who consider a first mortgage upon such a property as this the very best security in the world, and whose!l 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 9 ceuts om the dollar and accrued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being 15 per cent. lesa than U. 8 Stocks. . 10th. At the current rate of premium on gold they pay OVER NINE PER CENT.
