MARRIAGE OF 4 CHARACTER.—Our readers will readily recall the Surrat trial, in connee- tion with the assassination of Lincoln, and the part played therein by Weichman. After the hanging of Mrs. Surrat, Weichman was ap- pointed to position in the Philadelphia Cus- tom Houee, from which he was removed shortly afterwards. On the accession of President Grant he was reappoint:d, and still retiios the situation. Lately he has taken a prominent Part in the temperance movement im the Quak- er city, and as a result thereof was last ‘Tuesday night married there to a Miss Annie Johnson, & lady who bas once acted as the S. W. Vice Templar of the State of Pennsylvania. The ceremony took place at Grace Church, and was performed by the Rev. Dr. Suddards. Morg Taoors at Naw Yorx.—The probda- bility of a riotous demonstration in New York at the coming election seem to grow beautifully less, although the papers of Gotham are trying to conjure upa broil in advance. Fuel to the flame was added a few days since by the arrival there of the 8th regiment of regulars from Charleston, South Carolina. I'he Gothamites want to Know what it was done for, andsay that it means something. War Department official say that it means nothing more than the trans- fer of an organization from one station to another, and intimate that the commotion is only raised for political purposes. It is, of course, matural that troops should be moved about from East to West and North to South, but in special order No. 286, issued from the War Department yesterday there appear two significant paragraphs. The commanding Officer at New York is directed “‘upon the ,ar- rival of the 8th infantry at David's Island to as- sign to the same all the recruits now at that post and a sufficient number from Fort Colum bus until the totai assignment numbers 4%)."’ Then again“so much of paragraph No.3. specia! orders 244, September i5th, 1570, as directs the Superintendent of the General Kecruiting Ser- vice at New York to forward 200 to the 4th in- fantry in the department of the Platte is hereby revoked”.

Our special report by telegraph from Cincin. nati yesterday gave a detailed account of the doings of Reavis & Co. in the Capital-moving Convention; the report of the committee on res- oluiions; the substitute for that report offered by Mr. Beach, that the agitation of the subject = miscbievous and uncalled for, and the debate to which those papers gave rise. By telegram to the Associated Press we have the closing scenes of the farce, related as tollows: Mr. "s substitute to the report of the committee on resolution was lost.

The prisoner appears to be about sixteen years old, and does not look as if she were either capable or bad enough to coutem- plate so foul a crime. She seemed perfectly un- conseious of the momentous question being dis- cussed, her attention being divided bet in the novelty of her situation and the new faces and events which surround her. The jary, after an absence-of about an hour, returned a verdict of murder in the first degree. The Court reserved their sentence until to-day.

What the Cincinnati Papers Say. ‘We have the Cincinnati papers of yesterday, containing reports of the proceedings of Reavis & Co. on the first day of their capital.moving session. The reports fully bear out our™apecial dispatches as to the meager, spiritless nature of the attendance and proceedings. ‘The Gazette heads its reports :—“‘ Removal of the National Capital—Opening of the Conven- thon—Fifty-one Disgusted Delegates in Attend- ance”—and gives the follewing as the proceed- ings: “* Some time ago we received a copy of a gall iseed by the executive committee appointed at the convention in St. Louis last the re- moval of the national capital. call raised &@ presumption that a convention to further con- sider the subject was to meetin this city ye terda: nt inquiry we learned had been selected at the Place, and 12 o'clock, neon, as the hour for the eonvention to assemble.

A delegate from Lilinois now took the floor, and he said the convention was not as generally ded as he expected, and he thereture joved that they arn, to meet in Chicago on the next annivereary of the birthday of the Father Codon pnornagd © A delegate from Unio objected.

The ir ported, and itgvas impossible to who Were members of the convention until the re- port of that was received. f, The Gazette then gives the letters of oe Greeley and Col. John W. Gorney, (which have already appeared in Tus Srak,) and says the delegates in attendance were as follows: Jowa—Charies Beards! F. W. Eichelberger, G.¥. Kilburn and J.J. Smart. Kansas Feiw Ricker. Kentucky—J. K. W. West and K. 8. Brevier. Mis- Brown, Morton Beach, W. Anderson, Austin Marshall, » Bethel Batts, Abner Slutz, C.J. Young, B. Hon. James Kobinson, John Barr, Calvin Nebraska—C. H.

Washington ‘Territory James Scott, KE. G. Cook, James S. Rogers. ‘The able and conclusive letter of Col. Forney against the removal of the capital seems to have been a pretty bitter pill for the convention, and after a portion of it had been read a motion was carried to simply receive it and layit on the table. The Cincinnati papers all speak editorially in disparaging terms of the convention. ‘Tue Gazette pokes @ good deal of fun at it, asks to what it owes its existence, and thinks it originated in the way the earth did ac- cording to Hindoo cosmogony, through the three removes of an elephant, and a spake, and & tortoise, resting on nothing That paper hopes the convention will not ad- journ in a petto Chicago, because it got the cold shoulder in Cincinnati, and insists that the people of the country expect the fifty-one dis- gusted delegates to stay where they are, and “«do their duty and move the capital,” turkey or no tarkey. The Enquirer thinks that the “seventy-five gentlemen, representing about one-fourth of the States of the Union, who met at Pike’s Hall yesterday morning and organized them- selves into a convention to deliberate upon the propriety of having the national capital placed upon whcels and trundied westward,” are not “comprehensive enough ” for the work. ‘The Coinmercial slyly suggests to the removal agitators if they mean business to engage Mr. S N. Pike, of that city, to build an Opera House with a czpitol in it. Zu +2ee- THE COLORED CADET. Hits Trial by Court-Martial. ‘The trial of J. W. Smith, the colored cadet at West Point, before the court-martial at that place, has terminated. ‘The first charge against him, viz: conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline, in that he did create a disturbance in camp, and did assault Cadet J. W. Wilson with bis dipper and fists, seems to ave been sustained by the evidence, and Gadet Smith in his written defense, submitted to court on Monday, admits the facts thus all but a-ks ‘+ if there were ever a ligliter ormor Ing circumstance set up for the judgment of a general court-martial?” He then details the cireumstances, which were, briefly, that he Went to the water tank for water; he was in a hurry; he found Cadets Cabannis and Wilson there; he asked them to hurry up; he set his bucket down, and Wilson saysit hit him; Wilson shoved it back; Smith went for him, a scufie ensued, and, to quote Smith's own words :—* [ struck Bir. Wilson with the bottom of the dipper, as it seemed, over the top of the head. Under ordinary cireumstances, the blow would not bave been of more than the alightest conse- quence. But the dipper—of the lightest cocoa-nut shell—was and dry; it broke at the tirst blew, and the jagged edge cut Mr, Wilson over the left temple, drawing blood. The wound was as slight in its consequences as it was unpre: ted in it infliction.” The substance of the evidence upon the second charge was that Cadet Smith replied to the “Ble closer” im highly disrespectful i than one instance; it he laughed, in more turred bis bead, and exclai: “Tdon’t care” while in theranks. It was found, however, that the several records did pot as of the offence. The judge advocate elosed the case with a lemgthy and caustic reviewof the tine of defense. He was astounded at it. When the secused astaulted Cadet Wilson he used a sd m bad retaliat and in the scuftie ki a civil cout Smith, would not hold him for minrder.

JUSTICE TO FRANCE. Editor Stor—Now that the fair im our city for the benefit of the German wounded has closed, with @ success which retiects credit upon the philanthropy of all engaged in the enterprise, there can be no misconstruction of the inéent of the remarks which the occasion seems to de- mand. It is, probably, no exaggeration to state that, at the breaking out of the war now unhappily pending between France and Germany, the sympathies of fally nine-tenths of the Ameri- can were Prussia, because they f«it that Prussia had no other course to pursue than accept the issue which the neipled Em- peror of France had so unnecessarily demand- ed. They felt that he had played his last politi- cal card—had staked his personal ambition with little, if any, care for true welfare of his subjects—and had lost, rotrievaDly lost, the @, and must abtde the result. e King of russia and his Prime frejuently took occasion to assure his people and to impress upon the mind of the werld that they were not Warring against the French people, but agaist their government. The Frepch were led into the struggle, as we know, unwillingly; but ence in, their na- tional pride was touched, and they foagnt bravely and well. Defeat came. and with ta revolution in their form of government. A Te- public was laimed, and the most eminent men of the to the world as honored and tried statesmen—were appointed as provisional efticers, Among their very first acts was a declaration of their desire for peace; peace such as any high-toned nation hovorabl«, Dave a right to demand of anequal. The ‘‘olive branch” thus extended has been rejected, and their proj Teturned sealed with the blood of hundreds of thousands of brave men! ‘The Americaa peuple, whoare far beyond the din and smoke and consequent excitement of words, the rulers of Germany are determined, if they can, to erueh out the young repeblic. itis true, there may be some nice distinctions in in- ternational law, as to whether the new govera- ment is a ce facto one or not, but there can be no doubt that all ‘‘ifs” and “ bute” and “ands” would ide if the inclination s ment, and the tide of sympathy in favor of the Germaas is flowing rapidly in the opposite direc- tion. Even England hes ganght the infection, as is clearly demonstrated by up-heaving of the masses but a few ni; in the city of London, when at least 20,000 dare de- clare their preference for a republic across the demand of their government its Can Americans forget the ever-lasting tions they and personal aid they rendered them in tacir Revolutionary struggle?

Let not their public men mistake the mented the people and do as a well-known a: 'y congress did in Boston on the 20th inst., when h announced to deliver @ lecture on the ‘Franco-German question;” yield ‘to the influence of man’ of bis friends is3) who knew that his sympathics were with France,” and decide not to “speak his piece” at all. Political parties as such in this country—which was the pressure instance—should bave nothing whatever to do with questions of this kind; it belongs exclasive- ly to the people en masse without line or demar- cation, they will exercise it with their usa! ce. og hd fensitive point “| = prospect aris being bombarded and de- stroyed.
