4 NEW YORK HERALD. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR OFFICE N. W. CORNER OF FULTON AND NASSAU BTS. sos No, 145 Volame XXX.. New York, Friday, May 26, 1 THE TRIAL. The sessions of the court martial in Washingtoa on- gaged in trying the easassiaation conspirators were resumed yesterday, after an totermission of two daye. A considerable portion of yesterday's teslimoay related to ‘the treatment by the revels of impriacaed national eo!- diers. Ta reply to ae objection of counsel for the prisoners that such evidence wes irrelevent, the Judge Advecate Gonoral decided It to be pertiasat, on the ground that history has proved the connection between the rebeilioa and tho assassination of tho President. Witoeses testided as to the shocking bad charactor of the treatment and food received by oar imprisoned mea im Btohmond, producing the most (rightful re sults of disease and death. They were told by Major Turner, the Libby Prison keeper, that euch treament was good enough for Yaokeca Wit nesses stated that Major Turner hed Informed them that the Libby was mined and ready to be blown up at the time of Kilpatrick's raid around Richmond, in case the Union troops should get possession of the city. Witnesses were examined to identify the contents of the baggage of Arnold, one of the prisovere, found ocar Fortress Mooroe on the 17th of April, aod to show that he had served in tho rebel army. Several colored persous well acquainted with Or. Mudd gave evidence showing bis sympathy with treason, end that be bad given aid to the rebela; tbat te had said that President Lincoln ought to be deed, and that be would mot long kvep his seat. The totimacy between Mudd end Jobn Surratt was also shown. A man living {a Georgetown testided that on the morp- ing after the assassination Atzerott had borrowed of bim ton dollars, leaving as security a pistol, which was pro- duced ia court and identifed by the witness, The prosecution having a0 other witaessos present at the thme to examino, the cave for the defence was then opened, and tho Rev. Fathers Wigett, Boyle and Stone- street, of the Catholic church, testified that they bad koown Mrs. Surratt foro loug time; that she bad always appeared to them to be a truly Christian woman, and that they had never heard ber utter disloyal sentiments. suthorities and the people for the momory of the emi- Dent doceased was maaifosted ta various other ways.

There was still great excitement in the place, aod com- wunication with the interior was cut off, as Mooterey and Camargo wore in possession of the republicans.

It appearing that the NEW YORK HERALD, The Domestic Policy of President John- son. . The sudden collapse of the rebellion forced upon the administration of President Jobozon, at its very outset, the consideration of questions of greater importance than have fallen to the lot of any Executive since the foundation of our government, except that of President, Lincolo The latter entered upon bis duties just as the hydra bead of secession was commencing to bid defiance to the government and preparing to strike ite ponderous blows for its overthrow. Following the drift of events, and guided step by step by public opinion, he conducted us through bis four years term, @iled with dra- matic events of fearful and. startling import. Mr. Lincolp entered upon the second term, which was brought to a tragical conclusion, just as the monster rebellion was passing away like the mist before the morning sun. His sudden death placed Mr. Johnson at the helm of the goveroment, who had bardly time to take # eurvey of his new position before be was called upon to consider questions of peace instead of war. His advent to the Chief Magistrate’e chair marked o new epoch in our history, and brought with it responaibilitice of the gravest character and governmental prob- lems which needed the stoutest hearts and wisest heads to assume and solve. He found the country divided into two sections, which had been wreetling with each other in deadly combat for four years—one portion enraged and embittered by the sudden murder of its leader, and the other chafing under defeat. There was an enraged people on one side to appease, and a conquered one on (the other to conciliate, that barmony, law and order might be restored and one harmo- oious whole result, To accomplish this be had to meet the question of punishment and pardon of offenders, as well as adopt some plan fo place the machinery of the local govern- mente in Southern States into operation, and adjust them in their appropriate sphere in the national goverment. To this task have the efforts of President Johnson's administration been directed, and a general line of policy on reconstruction, punishment and amnesty marked out, allhougb not fully completed in all its minor details. The President and his Cabinet have had many long sessions over these problems, and debated by the hour the numerous bearings of this proposed domestic policy. *Compelled to FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1868. the nation, in unity in all ita parts, @ould rise up | under another head, and pfnced as the price in ite majesty and push onward with rapid | paid for England’s accession to our idea, That this was Minister Rush’s own view seoms sp- parent by hia statement that he “ felt himself without warrant to take euch a step,” both io view of its effect in France as well as in view of the fact that it might implicate us too much in European questions It {# also apparent even in a declaration quoted by Mr. Benjamin Rush, in which the Minister says:—“I bad frankly informed him (Mr. Canning) that 1 had bo powers to consent to his proposale in the abape in which they had: first been presented strides towards unthought of greatness. The Plan a A A few days ago we published the details of » plan to pay ofthe aational debt immediately and witbout taxation. The plan was to divide the debt—which is estimated at three thousand millions of doliars—into one bundred and Afty thousand shares of twenty thousand dollare each, these shares to be takeu up by our wealthy mec, In our editorial referring to this scheme we announced that, in order to start the subscription, we would take two of the ebares, The gratifying responses to this an- nouncement will be found In another column.

It is no part of the plan to pay off ® quarter or one-half of the debt, while capitalists who have withheld their subscriptions profit by the liberality of those who subscribe. There sre enough rich men in this country to pay the whole debt before the lst of January next, and it must be done. Then Congress will at once abolish all taxa- tion, and tbe Secretary of the Treasury will place the country in the financial position which it occupied five yeare ago. After all, these sub- scriptions are but paying our taxee in advance. Commodore Vanderbilt subscribes Ove bun- dred thousand dollars. In five years his taxes would reach that amount, I{t ta better for the tich men and better for the poor men to abolish the debt and the taxation without de- lay, ending the present cumbersome eyetem of collecting revenue and the espionage upon our incomes and our silver, and restoring the re- public to the proud position of a nation which owes no man a dollar. It will be noticed that the six hundred and forty thousand dollars already subscribed have been taken by half a dozen persons {a half as many days.

Apparently they have no inten- tion of giving up their cause without a stub- born fight. The rebel military and political leaders have their cotton to look after. So they bluster. They must hold on till they get it to market and the cash in their pockets; and the rebel planters have three or four bun- dred thousand negro slaves at stake. We may expect, therefore, a sbarp campaign in Texas; but between Sheridan, Thomas and Canby, we guess, the men and the materials will be found sufficient for the work of clearing out Texas by the fourth of July. That ought to be now the purpose of the administration, so that on the “glorious Fourth” we may have an unbroken national jubilee from the Canadian to the Mexican border.

Mra Kirby Smith is reported to have arrived at the mouth of the Red river, and represented the position of her bus band as extremely critical, as one party threatened to kil) him if he surrenders, and another threatened to forsake him if be continued the struggle. ‘The Times aleo learns that the rebel General Hood ané staf crossed the Mississippi fiver at Tunica Bend. About seventy of an expedition sent in pursuit captured their baggage and the General's uniform at Semmeaport, Hood escaping in the night. Mrs, Genera) Buckner arrived here (Cairo) from the mouth of the Red river, and Mrs, Kirby Smith came up to Memphis. Colonet Sprague and Major Bundy, of General Pope's staf, who went to Shreveport to arrange for the surren- der of Kirby Smith's army, have also arrived, én route to Bt.
