THE TRIAL. ‘The trial of the assassination conspirators was resumed yesterday, and a number of witnesses were called to tes- tify in bobalf of the different prisoners; but they failed to establish any important exculpatory facts. Payne's attention and kindaess to the wounded soldiers afer the battle of Gettysburg were testified to in order © endeavor to show that he was of s humane disposition, The plea of insanity on the part of this prisoner also, as well as of Atzerott, has becn sot up. Payne’s counsel ‘yester- day claimed that a foundation for this plea was fur- mished tn the evidence of the prosecution that after the bloody assaults in the house of Mr, Seward the Becused rushed from the sick room exclaiming “I am mad{ I am mad!" The Superintendent ‘of the Washington Insane Asylum, who was called by counsel to substantiate this claim, stated that he should fegard the use of such exclamations rather as an evi- dence of feigning insanity than of insanity itself, Jacob Ritterspaugh, one of the employes of the theatre, ‘was ro-oxamined, and testified that he and Spangler saw, ‘about six o’clock on the evenng of the assassina- tion, a man who was a stranger to both of them, and who did not belong in the the- aire, quietiy sitting in the private box in which the President was subsequently shot. His d:sap- pearance from the theatre, according to this witness, was a4 sudden and mysterious as his appearance én it. A great portion of the testimony taken yesterday was ‘very interesting. THE SITUATION. An order has been issued from the State Department, ‘by direction of the Prgsident, rescinding the regulations ef the 17th of December, 1864, requiring persons entering this country from foreign ports to bo provided with passports. Within the past fow daya the Twenty-fifth army corps, commanded by Goneral Weitzel, has departed for Texas from Hampton Roads, where it had been rendezvoused for about a week. About twenty-five large transport steamers constitute the fleet to convey the troops, muni- dons and supplies of the corps to the eld of future ope- tations. It is expected that the vessels will stop in ‘Mobile bay en +0 te, to receive coal and other supplies. Tho rebel Secretary of State, Comptroller and Treasurer of Tennessee, the State archives and assets of the Bank of Tennessee, amounting to six hundred thousand dol- lars, were recently captured in Georgia by a portion of General Wilson's cavalry, and transmitted to Nashville. ‘Two hundred thousand dollars of the bank's assets were stolen by two other rebel officials, of whom the cavalry ‘were still in pursuit at the date of lntest accounts. % Tho headquarters of General Logan, commanding the Anny of the Tennessee, comprising the Fifteenth and Seventeenth corps, will be establisbed in Louisville, Ky. The troops of these corps are now being despatched west- ward from Washington as rap'dly as possible, and will be followed by the other two corps of General Sherman's immediate command—the Fourteenth and Twentieth, constituting the Army of Georgia, under General Slocum. Now Orleans advices of the 27th ult, state that Colonel Hatch, who acted tn the capacity of Collector of Customs in that city during the time that it was under rebel rule, was recently captured by a force of national military which went out from Baton Rouge, and with him the records of the Custom House during his administration. The Colonel says that the books and records of the Cus- tom House operations prior to secession aro concealed in New Oricans. The headquarters of General Canby were to be established in that city within a few days. ‘Ton thousand released national soldiers from the rebel prison pen at Tyler, Texas, reached the month of Red fiver on thé 27th ult., on their way to the North. Governor Pierpont, since establishing his Executive headquarters in Richmond, has been cordially wel- comed by large numbers of prominent citizens. Different delegationa have waited upon him to express their loyalty and their intention to co-operate with him in the restoration of civil government, order and industry. The Governor, in his replies to the addresses of these delega- tions, has expressed his appreciation of their manifestations of friemdlincss to bimself and the mational guvernment, and his destro to avail himself of these elements of political and social regeneration in the arduous duties which he hns been called to assume. He also assures the people, as a Virginian himself, of bis good will towards them, and his hope that.the past may, for the sake of future amity, be as far aa possible for- gotton, and that all will henceforth faithfully work together for the good of the Commonwealth and the gation. The internal revenue collector appotnted for Richmond has arrived in that city and commeneed the performance of his duties. The arrival there of the Hon. John Minor Botts was expected on Thursday last. It is rumored that William Smith, the late rebel Gov- ernor of Virginia, is hiding away in the mountains in the vicinity of Staunton, and {t is also said that he has raised a smal! armed band to secure himself from arrest by the national forces. Many of Mosby's men aro still foaming at large in Virginia. The bill defining the qualifications of voters in Ten- nessee was passed by the Senate of the Legislature of that State on the 29th ult, This bill requires the usual qualifications of being a white male citizen of Hho United States of the age of twenty-one, but excivdes from voting, for at loastatx years ailer the pateage of the act, ‘all those who at that time wore aed iwonty-one and wore known to havo given material or moral support to the rebellion. Disloyal citizens who by this act are excluded from voting may, after the expiration of six yoars, make application to the courts for a restoration of ‘the privileges of the elective franchise. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. General Sherman romained in tho city yerterday, and this movements wore a matter of intense interest with the public generally. About noon the hero zode down Broadway in a carringe, accompanied by some friends, and paid « visit to Wall street and the ciroumambient regions of finance, Wherever he waa recognized crowds pressed around him for the privilege of shaking him by the hand, and the demonstrations were very enthusiastic. During the day he visited General Van Viict, at the Quartermastor's Office, in State street, and was here, as well as at other places down town, waited upon and most heartily wel- comed by merchants and business men. In the evening tho General was serenaded at the house of Mr. Scott, in ‘Twenty-third street, where he is stopping, by the bands ‘of the Seventh and Thirty-seventh regiments, and re- ‘sponded in a few brief remarks to the repeated and tumultaous calls of the assemblage.

In the United States Distriet Court yesterday, before Judge Benedict, the case of the United States against one hundred and twenty-nine bales of cotton, for condemna- tion under the Non-intercourse act of July 13, 1861, was brought on, and occupied the sitting of the Court till the adjournment. Tho case was not concluded, and will be resumed this morning. The United States District Attorney received a Rotice yesterday from Internal Revenue Commissioner Lewis to release all the whiskey recently seized by Mr. Philip Dorsheimer, Collector of the Thirteonth district, for non-payment of the internal revenue tax. Two applications for licenses were reoolved ~~sterday by the Excise Commissioners, which were granted. The Doard then adjourned till to-day. ‘The steamship Edinburg, Captain Roskell, of the Inman line, will sail at noon to-day for Queenstown and Liverpool, from pier 44 North river. The steamship Hansa, Captain Von Santen, for Southampton and Bre- men, will also sail to-day at noon. The mails for both vessels will close at the Post Office at half-past ten A. M. The bids for the contract for cleaniug the streets for the current year will be opened at tho Mayor's office at noon to-day by the Strect Cleaning Commission. The carriage, horses and accompanying equipments purchased by gentlemen of this city for presentation to President’ Johnson, but declined by him, were sold at auction yesterday at noon, in front ef the Custom House, in Wall street, in the presence of a large and very good natured assemblage of the usual denizens of that locality. The entire amount realized from the sale was four thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars, the horses and carriage being taken by different purchasers, A large number of Mormon immigrants from Europe arrived in this clty on Thursday, and yesterday pro- ceeded on their journey to Salt Lake City, ‘The following were among the commiuments by the police magistrates yesterday:—Wiliam R. Merwin, a patent medicine proprietor, and John Mahon, Jamos O'Neill and Coructius Toby, billposters, for disfiguring the curbstones, lampposts and other public placos with their advercising bit's, these being the first cases under the act of the last Legislature for the prevention of the defacement of natura! scenory, &¢.; James Sullivan and John Shechan, said to bx members of Hose Company No. 56, on charge of insulting females on the streets and assaulting the officers who arrested them; Henry Smith, charged with being the ringleader of a crowd who on Thursday evening assaulted a policeman and rescued a man whom he had arrested on charge of throwing stones mto the window of No, 165 Hudson street; two ion giving their names as George Brady and Honry Wilson, charged with burglariously entering the house of Mr. Henry F.

In this matter England must choose between the United States and Louis Napoleon her policy and her ally. In taking the side of the United States her possessions on this continent will be secure, and she becomes gafe at home in being thus identified with the nation and the cause of popular progress, On the other hand, in mak- ing common cause with Louis Napoleon Eng- lond runs the hazards of a possible rupture with this country, in the event of which it might become a question whether General Grant, with o hundred and fifty thousand veteran troops, ehould first move upon Canada, or Sherman or Sheridan, with a hundred thou- sand, into Mexico, Let it be borne in mind that for the purposes of maintaining the Monroe doctrine President Johnson could readily mus- ter, North and South together, an army of veteran soldiers five hundred thousand strong, and a fleet of five hundred ships of war, “with all the latest improvements,” But the moral advantages to England of sailing side by side with the United States in the great mission of popular progress should be sufficient to determine the policy of the British government and aristocracy. The moral reaction upon the public mind of Europe, in favor of popular rights and institu- tions, in consequence of the subjugation of the late pro-slavery aristocratic Southern rebellion, must inevitably culminate in a European revo- lationary convulsion. In that event England’s safety with her own people will depend upon her adhesion to the cause of popular progress, of which this glorious country, the United States, will be hold everywhere as the people’s champion. Wenvewt, Pafires on Rerupation.—Wendell Phillips is a fanatic on the negro suffrage ques- tion, as he was, before its final abolition, on the unsuccessfully, to carry off a large quantity of valuable | slavery question. He is full of vagarics and articles, and James Riley and George Wilson, on chargo dollar counter‘eit bill on the Jewett City Bank, of Con- street. them related to the discovery of the, body and the ob- sorvar.co of Diodati and bis three companions going into the woods, and the return of the latter after the murder. The testimony of one witness, however, detailed certain transactions in connection with counterfeiting, and added confirmation to the belicf that the persons who cominitted the murder belonged to a gang of extensive counter- feiters. The investigation wil! be continued to-day. Tho stock market was dull yesterday morning, but during the day {t improved. Governments were heavy atthe opening but firm at the close. Gold opened at 138 und closed at 13744 in the afternoon The closing price at night was 1373;. There was no general activity in business places yes- terday either in imported or domestic produce, and there were few important changes in values. Cotton and petroleum were dull and heavy. Groceries were quiet but steady. On ’Change flour was dull and heavy. Wheat was réther better. Corn was steady, Oate were 2c, a Se. higher. Pork was greatly excited, and prices went up $2 per bbl. Whiskey was steady. President Johnson's Foreign Policy and the Policy of England. With the great triumph of the popular insti- tutions of the United States in the suppression of the late rebellion, the question of the exten- sion of the elective franchise has risen again in the British Parliament. In the outset tho experiment of Jeff. Davia and his confederates to establish by force of arms an independent Southern confederacy was believed, accepted and proclaimed by the British aristocracy as a deathblow to the previously powerful and growing American idea of popular government. The great model republic had proved a failure; had proved that popular sovereignty leads to national demoralization, dissolution and anarchy, and that the divine rights of kings and a ruling privileged class were necessary to law and order. For nearly four years this sort of reason'ng, from the stubborn facts of our great rebellion, have kept the English masses and the republican elements of the European continent in the back ground, and for a time it appeared as if the clock of the world’s political progress had really been put back for half a century. With the suppression of Jeff. Davis and his Southern confederacy, however, the cause of popular rights in both hemispheres has gained an advance of half a century. Hence this reaction in the British Parliament in favor of the masses of the people and against her ruling aristocracy. The movement, thus revived, will now go on with an irresistible force from the British Islands to the Blark Sea, The great American republic has passed through the ordeal of a gigantic civil war which, under similar material disadvantages in the beginning, would have swamped the most powerful European monarchy; and from this imposing fact it will be held that our popular institutions are equal to any emergency and any trial of their strength. Tho pressure of this general conviction will soon be felt over all Europe; and if the ruling aristocracy of England would not be overwhelmed in the revolutionary reactions that are sure to come they will drop their alliance with Louis Napo- leon and form an alliance with the United States, especially in reference to the affairs of this con- tinent. The conduct of England towards this coun- try and the Unien cause, through all this late struggle, has been temporizing, deceitful and disgracefvl. But she has exhibited, for all that, the highest sagacity in avoiding an entangling alliance with Louis Napoleon, and in rejecting all his advances for active intervention affairs. In the recep- in our domestic tion of Sir Frederick Bruce it was made evident that President Johnson will remember this to the credit of Eng- the rectification of oar foreign relations, In the Mexican business and upon the Monroe doctrine, from the recent prudent course of England and the movements of some of her leading statesmen heretofore, there is already the groundwork for an easy alliance in reference to Mexico. Let the British gov- ernment, then, signify to Louis Napoleon that his time has come for the abandonment of Mexico to the Mexicans: and let the Beitish land in of stealing a horse and wagon and about three hundred dollars worth of groceries, the property of an Eighth avenue dealer, A soldicr named Livingston was arrested and committed on charge of attempting to pass a ten necticut, on Thursday night, at a hotel in Fourteenth The coroncr’s inquest in the case of tho Italian Antonio Diodati, who was found murdered in the woods near tho Brooklyn city line on the afternoon of the 27th ult., was proceeded with in Brooklyn yesterday. A numbor of witnesses were examined, bat the testimony of most of crotchets, which amount to nothing; but in threatening the repudiation of the national debt he touches a question full of mischief and danger. There are the elements in the North to-day of which a pretty strong repudiation party could be formed; and may we not reason- ably predict that upon this question, with their return to the political contests of the Union, the people of every Southern State, if brought to the test, will go for repudiation? The debts of the bogus Southern confederacy, hardly less than three thousand millions in rebel acrip, are repudiated, and they will say, why not make a clean thing of it, and repudiate the debt on the Union side? Hence this threat of Wendell Phillips to agitate the repudiation of the national debt unless the emancipated blacks have the right of suffrage is full of mis- chief; and hence the wisdom of providing in some honest way for the extinguishment of this debt as soon as possible, with all the burdens of taxation, high prices and political corrup- tion attached to it. Tux Mexican Ewpme.—t!n another part of to-day’s paper will be found several of a series of most interesting letters from special correspondents in the city of Mexico, in which they give us valuable glimpses into the social and political status of the people, as well as of the operations of the machinery of the new imperial régime. These letters will be found to contain a fund of historical, political and general information. be observed, which they refer hava apparently been gathered, almost altogether, from sources favor- able to the new order of things. They are doubtless fairly and impartially written; yet in a practical sensg they must be taken to repre- sent the imperial side of the picture. As it is ever our design to do justice in every case, and to allow both parties in a contest to epeak for themselves, we publish the statements of our correspondents just as they have collected them from the highest sources and transmitted them to us. The letter relating to the Em- It will however, that the facts to peror’s Cabinet is from an officer of the Aus- trian legion, who is fully capable, from inti- mate opportunity, of judging of the facts. Axgntcans Aproap.—Immense numbers of Americans are going to Europe by every steamer. Summer travellers across the At- lantic were never so numerous before, nor was there ever a time when Americans could so well afford to visit the Old World, or were more likely to be appreciated when there. The great imperative duties of the war no longer keep the patriotic nt home, and those that are fortenately rich enough can, therefore, rest themselves in this transatlantic trip.’ Those that have made moncy by the war have now the longed for opportunity to spend it. Wherever an American goes in Europe now he will be looked upon with the highest respect. European aristocracy will touch his hat to him as a citizen of the republic that is the greatest military power among nations; and the people of every European community will look ap to him as one whose presence realizes to them the existence of the great democratic and consti- tutional government of which they have re- cently been told so much. We stand in modern communities as the Roman stood in the ancient world, and every American in Europe will feel that it is a stitl prouder birthright to be « citiven of the United States than ever it was to be a citizen of Rome. Mrurrany Orricers tw ts Crrr.—Now that our armies are d'sbanding we may expect that many distinguished officers will pass through thie city, and all of them should be treated with consideration. In regard to their conduct while here they’have two examples before them. First, there is the example of General Batler, who was sent to this city to got him out of the way, but who claimed to have control of everything and everybody, held receptions, made speeches, raised a great {uss and finally fizzled out, and is now buried at Lowell, be- noath » tombstone carved with an epitaph written by himself. Next, there is the example of Lieutenant General Grant, the greatest sol- dier in the world, who came to the city quietly, walked about the streets unrecognized, held no receptions, made no speeches, avoided any- thing like # fuss, and soon slipped away to new glories. Bach officer may take his choice be tween these two examples. JUNN 3, wat, Dowr— We in the plan, xnd to want to help it on tovwaads & great success, Tho only opposition is from Jh¢ stockjobbers. ‘These worthies cry out thaf \' will cause a panic. That would be » stramre faith in somebody’s disposition or ability to pay; end how euch a want of faitheould result from the paying of this great debt it will cer- tainly require a stockjobber to understand. The people are right in this matter, and take it up with a true appreciation of the nature of the case that puts to shame the mere profes- sional financiers. There is in this plan an opportunity to pay the national debt, or, if not to pay the debt entirely, to take out of it a very large slice. We are quite ready to agree with those who will co-operate to pay two thousand mil- lions, or even one thousand millions, if it is judged better to do that than to pay the whole debt. Asa correspondent suggests to-day, we will be satisfied to urge only the payment of so much as will relieve the country of the more obnoxious features of the internal revenue de- partment. That department is one abhorrent to the nature of every, American. Only the great necessities ef the war ever induced the people to stand it, and now that we have peace they begin to see clearly what a dangerous en, gine itis, It was built up by Chase and filled with his political creatures. It is consequently a marvel of corruption. It is to get rid of that and to lighten the burden of the taxes that bear so heavily on every poor man that stimu- lates the people in this matter; and the govern- ment will be recreant to its duty if it do not take this matter up and give to it all that is necessary for success—tht is, official character and organization. Corporation Economy.—The corporation au- thorities have just rented an office near the City Hall for one of the heads of departments at nine thousand dollars per annum for a term of years. As good accommodations could have been obtained in the same vicinity for three thousand per annum. The African in the fence is Fernando Wood, who owns the property rented. Conrosrrss or History.—This city sent many men to the war and raised millions of money to support the government. Yet at the same time the corporation authorities were spending thousands of our money to aid the rebellion and put down the government. This money was paid to rebe] organs, like the News, and helped keep them alive and vonomous. Is not this a curious fact for history? Tue Hors. Burwgrs.—The hotel proprietors in this city, in pursuance of their offer to pay five thousand dollars for the first arrest and conviction of persons engaged in the attempt to burn this city ia November last, have paid that amount into the hands of Major General Dix, who, with Mr. Acton, President, and Mr. Kennedy, Superintend- ent of the Metropolitan Police, has consented to distribute it. They will receive communications cession of the State of Alabama. Mr. Theo. T.

But he did not stop long enough in Washington to perform the act. Almost his first labor after reaching this city and making the final report of matters con- nected with the incarceration of Joff.

Benue Ovr to CLose Tam Concenx.—The announce- ment that the horses and carriage purchased some time since to be presented to President Johnson would be dis- posed of at public auction ‘yesterday at noon, on Wall atreet, opposite the Castom House, attracted an immense crowd to the spot, composed of merchants, bankers, city, county, State and United States officials, with a small sprinkling of ragged boys, pickpockets, loungers and per- fumed exquisites.
