It ‘Will be recollected before a jury in the Surratt euse was empanelled, the prosecution chal- Senged the array. and the Court decided the cballenge good, and set aside the jurors. Sub- sequently the June term was opened,a jury being drawn from the box after it had been rr- plenisbed. It is now held that this list was drawn illegally, because the law provides that the jurors shall be drawn at least ten days be- fore each term, which was not the case in this instance. Consequently no legal jury can be obtained for the present term, aud the nex regular term is in December next.

VISIT OF THE PREsh BEGAGES IW RIFLE PRACTION—INCIDENTS, RTO. Xesterday wasa great day alzhe Park, and one which will jong be remembered by those present. The various pavilions were crowde during the day and evening, and ever: seemed to be in fine spirits. The great Tatar of tbe day was the visit of President Johnson. At five o'clock, the carriage containing the President, who was accompanied by Colonels W.G. Moore and Rover: Morrow, with Mr. Kerehaw, one of the attaches of the house, ap- peared in sight. and the signal bein, the Sebuetzen formed in twolines from tht way, headed by the Marine Band, Scala, prepared to receive him the gate the President and suite alighted, and was received by Messrs. G. W. Calvert and A. Schmiltie, of the Association, by whom they were conducted to the gate, and Presidemt Kioman welcomed them. The band played “Hail to the Ohief,” and a salute ‘was fired in a distant part of the grounds 10 honor of the President. Through the open Jines of Schuetzen the President was conduct- ed to the Schuetzen Hall, when Mr. Kioman introduced him to the shooting master, Mr. B. Henze, and he was invited to try his skill, Mr. Henze handing him one of the best rifles on the ground ready loaded. In accepting the rifle President Johnson said he thought that he wonld not make a mark worthy of notice, ithaving been so long since he had fired a gun. The members of the corps present with one voice urged him to take a shot, but he needed mo urging. Walking slowly and deliberately to the rest he took bis posi- tion, and being sure of his aim pulled the trigger and sent the bsll to ‘he mark two hundred yards distant. Many of those present confidently expected that he would make a good sbot, but there was little thought that he would pull the “bull's eye.” So it was, how- ever, for a moment after the report the tally man displayed a signal announcing that fact, and it was made known to those outside by the cheering of the members. A second and third rifle was handed the President, and each time the bull’s eye was struck. The result was beartily applauded by the Schvetzen, and some of the members declared that he wasen- titled to share the Kingship with Mr. Rud- bardt, the king for this year. Leaving the Schuetzen Hall, the President, with his suite, was escorted to an arbor by Mr. Kloman and other officers of the associ- ation, when the Arion Quartette Club sang “The Fatherland” apd a serenade. While in this arbor the President was presented with the badges of the Schuetzen and the Arions (the first being the gift of Mr. A. Schmitie and tne second of Mr. Z%. Tobriner,) by Mr. Klo- man. who attached them to a member's badge and pinned them to his coat. Subsequently, wine was broupht in, and the glasses being the President, wnich was received with a] plause, and drank by all in the arbor. The President offered in return the following : “With my sincere regatds for the prosperity of your society, let me, in connection with the honor you bave paid’ me, express the wish that we may always entertain the same cor- preeent occasion,” which was draek with ap- Here he was shown the target in which he had put bis balls. Leaving this arbor, the stand on which the various prizes are displayed was visited, and the party were conducted to the eastern’ por- tion of the crounde, where the celebrated rope- walker. Harry Leslie, gave one of his exhibi- t ous, eliciting the applause ot the spectators. Leaving this exhibition, after Mr. Leslie had been introduced to the President, by whom ne was highly complimented, the party proceeded to where a number of boys were engaged in a sack race, and a hearty laugh was enjoyed. An attempt was also made by the boys to chmb the greasy pole, for the amusement of the visitors. Some time was then spent in witnessing targe: shooting by the ladies present. At this time the crowd became unwieldy, but through the efforts of the police and the mem- and suite were conducted through the line to the Park Hotel. (Quite a number of ladies seized his hand as he passed along, and some handed him boguets, while he did not torget the children. but stopped and kissed several on his way to the house. At the hotel of My. Abnera splendid bai quet had been prepared. The President, Cols Moore and Morrow, Col.'Kloman, presicent of the Schuetzen Corps, with a number of officers and members thereof, occupied seats at the table. Bir. Geo. W. Calvert, on behalf of the com- mittee on invitation. thanked the President tor his presence, and extended to him an invita. | tion to be present and participate in the cele- bration of the Bultimore Schuetzen Verien, to be given next week. The speaker also stated that the members of the association were com- poced of citizens of respectability, both Ameri- can and German, and soon there would be & large number of our first citizens members of the corps. The President replied, thaking the associa- tion for the pleasure they had afforded bim, and stated Be would pot promise thera to be preeent at the Baltimore celebration: bat if he could do £0, it would afford him much pleas. ure. He had always regarded the Germans as Jovers of liberty, and they were noted as law-abiding, faithfal citizens. Mr. Henze, of the committee on firing, ad- dressed the President, and stated that the honor of dining with the President would ever be remembered by them, and he hoped that all constraint and diffidence manifested by them would be construed more into respect for their illustrious guest than a3 ai evidence Of ill-breeding. The President stated that if the actions of the association, in their kindness and gentle- mauly bearing toward him, could be called diffidence and modesty, then he advised them all to continue to assume that bearing to all, and no one would censure them. Several sentiments were proposed and re- sponded to. At the conclusion of the banquet the President was escorted to his carriage, and left the Park amid the cheers of the people, Atter the President had left tne Park, Schuetzen formed, and escorted Mr. W. Redgrave to the prize staud, when Mr. Klo- man presented bim the gold medal for making the largest number.pf center shots during the day. The prizes ior the best shots at the ladi shooting gallery were awarded as follows :— First, a ladies’ satchei, to Mrs. John Berger second. to Mrs. Minnie Lemkul. a ladies’ nat and fan: and the third te Mrs. W.

During the day the music of the marine band was highly complimented ‘The ce of Prof. Leslie on the rope last evening at 9 o’clock was received with great pplause. He announced that next year he would be at the festival, and instead of per- forming on the ro; be would ascend one thousand feetin the air ina balloon, and hang from the basket by his toes while at that height. This feat will be peri iaed by Prof. L. in Haltumore next week. About 11 o'clock a number of the personal friends of Mr. Harry Leste. including several representatives of the Press, with Heald’ Washington Braes band, tendered that genti mana serenade. Mr. James 8. Sprigman, on the appearance of Mr. Leslie, addressed him on behalfof bis friends. to which a (Councilman) responded on behaif of Les. lie, and: Mr. Leshe atso made 8 few remarks, atter which the compary partook of his hos- pitality. 70-Dax, At four o'clock this afwerndon the prize stand was the point of attraction ‘where the prizes for the best'shots were awarded as follows by Pre-ident Kioman, agsiste’ by the officers of the association: : Ist prize, set of furniture, to Mr. alk, of Pottsville: 2d, gold ws and chain, B, Henze; ‘3d, of china, (£0 pieces,) John G.

On Monday night, at a lateish hour, he was told that a tallish, stoutish, middle-aged gentleman had been seen to enter his premises by the rear gate.on the alley. Mr. L. could not conceive what business any tallish, etoutisd, middie. aged gentleman bad upon his premuses at that hour of night, and went to reconnoitre, accom- panied by his informant and some of his neigh- bors, A thorough search was made upon the ground-floor and yard withont results. Was Ris informant positive abont that middle-aged gentleman coming in at his back gate? He was: and moreover the same person had been seen lurking about the place previously, evi- dently for no good purpose. Tne search was Tenewed, and carried up stairs, where, sure enough, the middle-aged gentlemen was found. He appeared very much confused. He dropped on bis knees and eaid, “please excuse me, gen- tlemen, I am bard up.” Was he hard up for clothing, spoons, cold victuals, er money ! He still murmured that he was hard up. A po- liceman was called in, upon whieh the pris- oner appealed eloquently tor mercy,and made the blushing confession that he was enamored ot Mr. Lincoin’s etraw-colored cook, and tha: that was his cole errand there. He was asked his name. He said it was Jones, and that he lived in the First Ward Policeman.—“Oh come now, that won't do! Your name isn’t Jones, and you don’t live in the First Ward. Your name is Edelin. ‘The prisoner eaid that he was so much fius- tered that perhaps he had made a mistake. He thought his name was Jones, but perhaps it wae Edelin: and now he came to think of It he didn’t live in the First Ward. Policeman.— «Don’t you know that you risked getting shot, coming here in this way 2” ‘The prisoner mrmured something about the irrepressible po wer of love that sundefs belts and laughs at locksmith’s. He again made a Jervent appeal not to be exposed by an arrest, and as it appeared from the statement of the policeman that the prisoner was of respecta bie connections, and wasin pecuniary circam- stances making it altogether improbable that he was there for purposes of robbery he was let go, with an admonition concerning his future walk in life up, back alleys. Mr. Lincoln at the same time gave the colored cook her walk- ing papers, not caring to have such extra at- tractions on his premises. pina Foo SS ‘THE Sare Derosit ComPANY.—Dropping in a! tbe office of the National Safe Deposit Com- Pany,corner 15th street and New York av- enue, we find that it has already got into suc- cesetul operation, and numbers of our citizens are availing themeelves of the opportunity of placing their yaluables in the secure fireand borglar-proof vaults of the company.
