In the Washington court martial yesterday after the dofence had introduced a few witnesses, a portion of the evidence of whom was designed further to impair the character and statements of Daniel J. Thomas, the strong witness against Dr. Mudd, the counsel for Spangler and Arnold announced that 2o far as those two prisoners were concerned the case of the defence was closed. ‘The counsel for Payne requested « further postpone- ment to enable Dr. Nichols to report on the question of his sanity, and also to enable the accused to have the Denolit of the testimony of his father, a Rev. Mr. Powell, of Florida, who had not yet arrived. The President of Bhe court aunounced that till eleven o’clock on Monday Would be allowed for Dr. Nichols’ report, but that, as much delay had already been caused by the non-appear- nce of the reverend gentleman from Florida, the court gould not wait for him mueb longer. Several witnesses were called by the prosecution, one of whom, Mr. Henry G. Edson, of St. Albans, Vt., who was ove of the counsel in the examination of the St. Albans raiders in Canada, testified to expressions he had beard George N. Sanders give utterance to, Sanders said he was pleased with the St. Albans raid, and that it would be followed by numerons others of a much more formidable character; that there were organiza! tious ready to burn and sack Buffalo and other cities, and that the government, though it might aefer these monstrous villanies, could not prevent them. Lieutenant John L. Ripple, of the Thirty-ninth Mlinois regiment, testifled that while he was a prisoner at Ander- sonville, Georgia, he heard rebel officers say that Pre- sident Lincoln would never be inaugurated, and that the rebels hada party in the North who would attend to Messrs. Lincoln and Seward. This witness also gave ad- ditional testimony regarding the cruel treatment of im- Prisoned national soldiers at Andersonville, and the sys- tematic manner in which they were starved. THE SITUATION. General Herron, with a force of national troops, ac- companied by gunboats, arrived at Alexandria, Louisia- ma, on the 2d inst. The people manifested their satis- faction at bis arrival, aud were glad that the war was over. General Herron bad established garrisons at Alex- andria and Shreveport, and his officers would soon pro- ceed with the work of paroling the rebel soldiers of Kirby Smith's army in that region. Our Richmond and Petersburg despatches show a rapid revival of business in thore places, and that great pro- gress is being made in the work of re-establishing civil government throughout Virginia, under the auspices of Governor Pierpont. The military authorities, as fast as is practicable and politic, are turning over tho State property to the charge of the new Btate administration, and in « much better con dition than ft was found when it fell into their ands Delegations of the principal citizens of nearly ‘every county in the State have visited the new Governor, ‘and unanimously expressed to him their desire to renew Shoir allegiance to the national government and to co- Operate with him in such policy of State government Be he may deom best for the walfare of all the people, The State charitable and other public in- Gtitutions have been again put in proper condition, the (ring of the railroads and canals is being pushed for- with rapidity, and there is every prospect that will, before long, exhibit throughout her terri- von A greater condition of prosperity than that en bofure she was dragged into rebellion.

The Prosideat’s amnesty proclamation and the appointment of Mr. Holden for Provisional Governor have given general satisfaction, and it is expected that a very large vote will be polled at the approaching election to choose detegates to the Stato Convention. A call Was been made oa the military authorities in North Carolina by a aamber of the residenta of North- ern South Carolina for protection against the depreda. tions of their own people. It is reported that the rebel guerilla chief, Colonel Duvall, is busily eagaged in reorganizing bands of freo- booters in the neighborhood of Columbia and Pulaski, Tennessee. Major General Lovell H. Rousseau has been nominated in a caucus of members of the Kentucky Legislature as a candidate for United States Senator. Among the vew arrivals at West Point, to attend the examinations at the Military Academy, is Major Goneral George H. Thomas. He arrived there on Thursday last, but in so quiet and unpretentious a manner that fow knew of his presence until the next day. A salute in his honor was fired on Friday morning. It is expected that the General will remain at West Point for several days. Rear Admiral David D. Porter arrived in this city yes- terday from Newport, R. I., where he has been attending the examinations at the Naval Academy. Large numbers of discharged troops are still daily ar- riving in and passing through the city. Yeeterday there arrived the One Hundred and Twenty-third and One Bundred and Fiftieth New York regiments, over two bundred men of the Irish Brigade, sixty-two men belong- ing to the Thirty-ninth New York regiment, the Thirty-ninth Massachusetts and the Sisty-oighth Pennsylvania regiments. Governor Fenton has directed the Superintendent of the State Soldiers’ Depot in Howard street to offer the hospitalities of that institution to all soldiers passing through the city on their way home, That rendezvous, the Battory Barracks, the New England Rooms, in Broadway, and other places in and around the city, are constantly crowded with returning troops, whose needs are all supplied—refresh- ments, lodgings and other necessaries being freely fur- nished to them, In allusion to the story in the Nassau Guardian of the Pirate off Inagua the Boston Traveller says:— The bark Lizzie, Captain Manson, sailed hence May 4, for Stettin, and is supposed to be the ves- sel; but we discredit the whole story, for she would not be in the vicinity of the West Indies, but off the Banks of Newfoundland. The fellow Draine, who captured the schooner St. Marys in Chesapeake Bay, is represented as the captain of the pirate, and we learned from Captain Moore, of the ship Anna Kimball, at this port, that he was in the vicinity of Nassau, N. P., last month, threatening all kinds of vengeancs against our commerce. He may have burned some vessel, but we doubt if it was the Lizzie. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The fate of the steamer Admiral Dupont was made known in this city yesterday, by the receipt of a despatch from Nantucket, stating that she bad been run into by the British ship Stadacoma, bound from Philadel- pbia to St. John, N. B., on the 8th inst., avd sunk, and that about fifteen or twenty of her crew perished. A fire broke out early yesterday morning in Nashville in an immense building, eight hundred feet long and two hundred feet deep, filled with government qaurtermaster and commissary stores, and before the flames could be subdued one-balf the structure, with the contents, was consumed. It is said that the building contained supplies sufficient for an army of eighty thousand men for two years, Several dwelling houses were also destroyed, and two or three persons are believed to have been burnt to death. The government loss is estimated at between eight and ten millions of doHars. How the fire originated is not known; but there are suspicious that it was.caused by incendiarism. The proceedings in the case of the demand of the Saxon Consul General for the extradition of Frederick ‘Theodor, alias Theodore Seydell, charged with having committed forgery in Saxony, were commenced yester- day before United States Commissioner Newton. Some interesting testimony was taken, and thero was consido- rable argument between counsel, after which the case was postponed till Tuesday next. ‘A severe rain storm, accompanied by the most vivid lightning and very heavy thunder, visited this city and vicinity early yesterday morning. The rain commenced to fall heavily about two o’clock, and continued for two or three hours. It was rain of the most copious kind, coming down not in drops, but seemingly in one solid mass. During a good part of yesterday forenoon and afternoon, with occasional intervals, rain continued to fall, but not ia such torrents as during the early morn- ing. ‘The members of Warren Hose Company, of Philadel- phia, who have been guests in this city for the past fow days, took their doparture for home at ten o'clock yes- terday forenoon, accompanied by the Reception Commit- tee, on the steamer Jesse Hoyt, from pier No. 3 North river. ‘The following commitments were made by the police magistrates yesterday:—A man giving his name as Robert Spencer, charged with burglariously entering and robbing, on Friday night, the store of Mr, Cassin, on the corner of Spring and Wooster streets; Lydia Haggerty, charged with stealing five hundred dollars from John D, Moore, a resident of the State of Delaware, while the two wore together in a house in Twenty-fourth street, on Friday night, and Thomas Kavanagh, keeper of a drink- ing house at 134 West Twentieth street, and abouts dozen men found in the place, on charge of being dis- orderly characters and a general nuisance in the neigh- borhood. The tugboat Dime, running between Natchez and Rodney, Mississippi, exploded her boiler on the morning of the 27th ult., killing the wheelsman and cook and injuring the first engineer and fireman, the latter seri- ously. The boat was made a complete wreck. Three of the eight firemen buried in the ruins of the fire at Chicago on the evening of the 7th inet. have died and others are reported to be fatally injured. The value of the property destroyed was fifty thousand dollars. The stock market was strong and quotations improved yesterday. Governments were rather heavy. Gold waa firm. It opened and ciosed on the street at 137K, and cloned at night at the same price. ‘There was little doing in business circles on Saturday, as usual, and, in the absence of marked fluctuations in the price of gold, merchandise remained comparatively steady. Foreign merchandise was quiet, as a general thing, while there was no general movement, Cotton was dail, Petroleum was quiet. Groceries were steady. On 'Change flour and grain were dull and beavy. Pro. vistons were steady. Lard was lower,fand whiskey was Orto. ‘There was a disturbance between some soldiers and negroes tn Washington yesterday, and several persons were roughly handled. The authorities, however, soon put a stop to the disorderly proceedings. Wuere are rae Guexnias?—Many people supposed that after the war was over the South- ern country would be infested. with guerilla bands ; but, strange to say, since the surrender of Kirby Smith and Dick Taylor, there has been no trouble with guerillas.

Reconstruction North and South. The excitement growing out of the war has passed away. The collapsé of the rebellion was so sudden, and the surrender of the rebels in arms so complote, thas we are aimost instan- taneously transferred from war to peace. The furor of the people for battle and clash of arms has disappeared, and the era of reconstruction has been inaugurated in its stead, This is tho sensation of the hour, We are no longer called upon to record thrilling accounts of fani move- ments, to give our readers details of the daring deeds of brave men in assaulting breastworks, to furnish descriptions of skilful changes of base, or to record the capture of rebel cities. The brilliant achievements of our navy amidst a storm of shot and shell, the blowing up of vessels, raids across our borders, burning Northern cities, poisoning and assassination plots in all directions, have given way for the work of reorganization and reconstruction. In short, we are called upon to turn from the ex- citement of war to that of politics, President Johnson has marked out his policy for reconstructing the Southern States. He is busy carrying out its details and devoting his whole time to the execution of hia practical plans for restoring peace, law, order and pros- perity to the people in the late rebellious States. While engaged in solving the numerous problems which present themselves, and en- deavoring to decide the perplexing ques- tions in @ manner that will, as soon a8 possible, remove all signs of the terrible struggle which we have gone through, and se- cure the return of the Southern States to their appropriate sphere in the Union, the politi- cians of the North are at work at their plans for the reorganization of parties. Chief Justice Chase issued his orders to his radical associates, informing them that the time had come to organize their party. In this official order he marked out the creed of the party, and, leaving to them the work of carrying out the details, he starts for the sunny South to alienate the ne- groes from the administration. As soon as he reaches the cotton and rice fields he calls the colored population together, and endeavors to convince them that the present government is opposed to their interests, and that he (Chase) is their friend. Simultaneous with his depar- ture Senator Sumner, another apostle in the same party, sits down and writes a letter to the North Carolina negroes, urging them to partici- pate in political meetings. He tekes this occa- sion to counsel them to exercise the right of suffrage, declaring that all who oppose them “are usurpers and impostors.”’ But the manipulations of the radicals do not end here. The Chase radicals, backed with the patronage of the Custom House of this city, immediately instigate movements for a public meeting for the purpose of intimidating the President and dictating his policy. They secure the attendance of our military heroes, knowiag full well that without them they could not se- cure a respectable audience. Their plans were all nicely arranged, the orator of the occasion selected with great care, and everything worked, as they supposed, well for their self-glorification under the light of the brilliant military stars. At length they began to see breakers ahead ; and their resolutions, which at first were somewhat denunciatory of the President’s policy, were toned down and modified before they were presented. But this did not save them from a disastrous defeat in their own gathering. The public refused to listen to the harangues of their chosen orators, and insisted that the meh who had planned and fought our battles should address them. Thus the gallant Logan was drawn out, who, ina clear and logical speech, defined President Johnson’s policy. The audience applauded and so emphatically endorsed his utterances that the radicals, in dismay, were forced to beat a hasty retreat to hide their shame and mortifi- cation. Thus it will be seen that in the place of war the order of the day is reorganization. It is re- construction in all directions and on all sides, North and South. The President quietly but energetically attends to the reconstruction and the restoration of order in the South, regardless of the manipulating politicians. The latter are seizing upon this opportunity, in the lull which follows the close of the war, to construct parties and lay their plans for the capture of the spoils in the future. In the meantime the President will continue his labors for the regeneration of the South ; but no one expects that the political wire-pullers will drop their schemes or leave their manipulations. The Chase radicals are determined to have a party of their own, and will endeavor to organize it while President Johnson is reconstructing the South, notwith- standing their failure at the Cooper Institute meeting. The war democracy are maturing their plans for a party, based upon the practical issues of Prosident Johnson’s domestic policy. The rump of the copperhead faction are also looking around for a political roost. Thus the close of the rebellion has brought us to an era of political excitement. Tax Heratp wy tae Sovrn—Pracricat Re- CONSTRUCTION.—Since the restoration of peace we have had several applications from Rich- mond for the New York Herat. Old subscri-’ bers are requesting that their papers shall be sent on, as they were four years ago, and new subscribers are sending on subscriptions for the paper. All their communications are couched in the most loyal terms. The hiatus in civili- zation in the late rebel capital has evi- dently become wearisome to the Richmond people, and they are anxious to fill it up as soon as possible. We are also constantly re- ceiving advertisements from that city, announc- ing the opening of hotels, the sale of farms, the rights and privileges in mill property, and so forth; all of which find due place in our adver- tising columns. It is evident from these facts that the South is eager to obtain contributions of Northern capital; and no doubt it will be cheerfully invested in that way. The true method of reconstruction is to be found in commercial interchange, Northern money 4nd Northern men will do more to effect a con- solidation of the two recently hostile sections than acts of Congress or executive proclama- tions; or, at least, they will give force and bring speedy results to diplomacy, which is always slow and methodical in working out its aims. We are a practical people, and live in a prac- tical age. We cannot wait for years, as other nations do, to bring questions to an issue whieh involve the prosperity of the State and people. Time is valuable to us, and we im- prove every hour as we live. Hence the in- atincts and the actions of the people outrun the limping progress of diplomacy, Tho exhausted e South wants to restore as speedily aa possible ita old associations with the vigorous North, in order that the paralyzed members of the repub- lic may draw new life from the heart which is a8 healthy to-day as if it had never experienced the uneven pulsations of the past four years. English “Philanthropy “Barbariem.” We perceive by our last arrivals that the English press pretty generally baa voluo- teored its advice to our government as to its duty in the treatment of the rebels and traitors whom it has now within its reach. Having done all it could, with some honorable excep- tions, to encourage the Southern leaders in their attempt to destroy the Union, aow that it sees the ruin it bas brought upon them, it takes up a new rile, puts on the garb of mercy, and invokes us to behave like Christians toward a fallen foo, The London Times of May 27 especially under- takes to read this country a lesson “on the extreme impolicy of shedding the blood” of a man whom success would have elevated to the position of “a monarch,” and of the “courtesies due a generous and noble-minded adversary.” The Times, in ita past and present eulogies of Jeff. Davis, ignores altogether the felonious intent with which he. began the rebellion, and the crimes he has committed in carrying it on. Incendiarism, poison, murder, piracy and pestilence have all been resorted to as a part of his system. He has, in fact, no rightful claim to be considered an honorable enemy, but the very reverse. Be this as it may, the argument of the Times, like its garbled history of the treatment of rebels by its own government in times past, is really contradicted by the facta as they are recorded by its historians, and furnishes us examples quite contrary to what is insinuated. The attempt made by the Pretender in 1715 to recover the crown of England was by no means considered a proper case for the observance of these “courtesies.” James was, in fact, what Jefferson Davis was only likely to become—a “monarch”—and his authority was for a long time undisputed at home and abroad. But the attempt was a failure; it was styled a rebellion, and though his followers surrendered in large numbers as prisoners of war, as at Preston, capitulation did not save the leaders from the scaffold. Of fifteen hundred prisoners captured there were mahy Scotch noblemen, English gentlemen and officers of both nations. Imme- diately after the capitulation Lord Charles Murray and four other officers were shot, three distinguished civilians were tried for treason and executed, and the celebrated Earl of Der- wentwater and Viscount Kenmure were be- headed. Sixty-six more of the prisoners were tried for treason, twenty-two were executed, and many died in prison from the severity of their treatment. In 1745 the Young Pretender attempted to regain the throne of his father, and for atime was almost successful. Gladsmuir and Falkirk were the Bethel and Bull run of his campaigns, and his cause looked hopeful. But the battle of Culloden changed the fortunes of the war, and threw large numbers of the rebels into the hands of the Duke of Cumberland. The prisoners were treated by the government after the old fashion. The jails were crowded with them, where large numbers miserably perished. Seventeen of the rebels, so-called, were tried by special commission and executed on Ken- sington Common, many more suffered at other places, fifty more were put to death as desert- ers, and eighty-one in Scotland, as traitors. Lords Kilmarnock and Balmerino were be- headed on Tower Hill, and old Simon Lovett, though eighty years of age, and a historical character, so weak that he had to be carried on a litter, also expired on the scaffold, with a quotation from Horace in his mouth— Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. His knowledge of the classics did not save him from the axe of the headsman. Nor did Irish, rebels, forty years afterwards, fare any better than the Scotch. In 1798, Earl Moira, in vain attempting to persuade the English govern- ment to allay the discontent in Ireland, where the most cruel acts of torture were common practices against suspected persons, without any legal evidence, the Irish became rebels, and attempted to establish their independence— a long and still cherished hope of that people. How the attempt failed is well known, and the treatment received from the conquerors is his torical. Many distinguished persons suffered “death for their share in this rebellion, and among them were the Shearer, O’Coigley, Har- vey, and the celebrated and lamented Robert Emmett. Thirty thousand lives were lost in this short and sanguinary struggle; for England was not to be appeased without the fullest vengeance. Ireland is, in fact, still underthe ban. Trials and executions for high treason have been common occurrences ever since in the political history of these sym- pathizing and compassionate Englishmen. In 1803, Colonel Despard and six others, for plan- ning to seize the King’s person on fhe opening of Parliament, to destroy him and overturn the government, were, within a month afterwards, tried by a special commission and executed. We have on a former occasion briefly given an account of the fate of the Cato street conspira- tors, who were executed in 1820 for merely conspiring to kill the Ministers while at a Cabi- net dinner, and we could find still other in- stances of the rigor with which English judges and juries, inspired by the government, have always pursued those guilty of treason. And still more recently we have seen how those nations of India who have attempted to throw off the yoke of England, placed on their necks with cruelty and oppression that have had no parallel in the history of subjugated na- tions, been treated when subdued. Blown to pieces at the mouth of British cannon, they have experienced what it is to have rebelled, and what is the punishment dealt to rebels by British humanitarians. It is, therefore, pretty clear that any lectures, or even any advice from a press of a people with such a record, with regard to our treatment of treason and rebellion, will not come attended by any evidence of any very Christian practices on their part under circumstances far less aggra- vatings “We did not interfere,” says the London Star, in a very temperate article on the inquiry of Mr. Griffith, in the House of Commons, as to what Lord Palmerston intended to do in the case of the arrest of Jefferson Davis under the proclamation, “to save Marshal Ney, or Louis Batthyany, or Robert Blum, or any of the scores of patriots recently, executed in the squares of Warsaw; we have not appealed to France to deal tenderly with Porfkio Dias in md Amorican a acaaeen satel Mexico; and in evory one of these cases there could be far better reason shown for an interfer- ence than in the instance suggested by Mr. Griffith.” And there is not the least doubt of it. What will be the finality with Jefferson Davis we do aot pretend to predict, If ever a man de- served punishment be does; and the loftiness of his pretensions does not in the least take away from his actual criminality, but rather increases it. At apy cate it is oot becoming # country whose annals are crimsoned with the blood of rebels and traitors to present itaclf at this time as a mediator in their behalf—ae an advocate for grace and an angel of humanity. We have been unused to treason. No one has ever yet been tried and executed for this crime in this country, and if any are now to suffer they may thank England for having encouraged them to dare their fate. In the meanwhile the London Times may as well understand that the bistory of England is more read and better understood in the United States than in England itaelf—for here everybody reads—and when it appeals to that history it will not do to ignore the star- ing precedents which we might, if we chose, draw from it for our own justification in pun- ishing rebellion. ‘ Tae Cuass Rapicat, Orricesotpers.—The developments at the recent Cooper Institute meeting have shown the necessity of President Jobnson’s immediate removal of the Custom House and internal revenue officials in this locality. While reaping the benefit of those positions under the government, they are using the influence which their offices throw around them to intimidate the President and dictate his policy. This was the express object of the recent gathering at the Cooper Institute, as the resolutions clearly prove. These Custom House and internal revenue officers are all tools of Chase. Most of them were appointed by him, or through his influence. They are now using all their influence against the President and in favor of Chase. The adoption of resolutions reflecting upon the President’s reconstruction policy, and virtually repudiating his decision on the question of negro suffrage, is but one of the many schemes and devices resorted to by them to advance the interests and plans of the Chief Justice in opposition to the President. Many of them are mere demogogues, and care nothing for the interests of the country if their faction is only advanced. They would plunge the South into a social war over the question of amalgamation with the blacks, negro suf- frage, or any other question, if they could only benefit the radical clique, and ride the Chief Justice into the Chief Magistrate’s chair in the excitement. The point which the President should imme- diately consider is the fact that they are using the patronage of the governmeat directly against his policy, and in favor of his avowed opponents. This fact the proceedings at the recent meeting fully establish, and cannot pos- sibly leave any doubt. General Grant was brought here not for the love of Grant, but as an advertising dodge; and the pretext of being a Johnson meeting is shown to be only another dodge to get the people there. In short, the whole affair was got up for the purpose of glorifying themselves and > intimidating the President. But the fact that they were frus- trated in their plans by the people, who repu- diated the politicians and hailed with applause the utterances of the military heroes, does not in the least remove the guilt of the Custom House and internal revenue officials. The animus is the same, and they will resort to all other imaginable devices to carry out their schemes. The only salvation of the adminis- tration is in the immediate removal of the whole batch; nor can it be done too soon. Mosic vor THe Mrtion.—The Saturday after- noon concerts at the Park are now regularly inaugurated, under the famous Dodworth man- agement, The million can, therefore, enjoy most eloquent music, open air opera and after- noon “germans,” in addition to the aquatic, umbrageous, zoological and other charms of our grand Park ; and it must be said that the million, as well as the fashion, of the metropolis avails itself very numerously of the pleasure. An hour or two about sundown in the Park this weather is a brief snatch at the joys of par- adise. NEWS FROM THE SOUTHWEST. Occupation of Alexandria by General Herron, é&c. Caio, Ill, June 9, 1965, The steamer Marble City has arrived, with Memphis dates of the 8th inst. The Memphis cotton market was dull—good middling selling for 30c., strict middling at 28c. and middling at 270. a 28c. One thousand seven hundred and sixty bales of cotton have passed here during the past two days for Cincinnati and St. Louis. There was no organization of the convention called to meet at Vicksburg on the 7th inst., only six delegates being in attendance. Dates are received from Baton Rouge to the Sth inst. ‘The troops under General Herron, accompanied by gunboats, reached Alexandria on the 2d inst. There was no public demonstration on the arrival of the troops there, yet the feeling of relief manifested by the citizens was unmistakable. There was not a particle of bitterness shown, and all appeared to be glad “that the war was over.” The country around Alexandria shows many evidences of the Red river campaign, ruins being seon on every band. Fourteen pieces of heavy artillery were found in the fort and eight pieces of field astillery were parked in the town. But little other public property has been found. The Missouri and Arkaneas troops have preserved their organization at Shreeveport, and await the arrival of our paroling commissions. Garrisons been established at Alexandria and Shreeveport, Gen. Herron making his headquarters at the latter place. the same City, d&c. Nawviuia, June 9, 1966.

Colonel Duvall, the rebel guerilia leader, who came in two weeks ayo, has returned to his old quarters in the vicinity of Cohumbia and Pulaski, and is busily engaged in reorganizing guerilla bands, His ploa is that the gov- ernment or some representative promised him that no Union raiding parties should traverse that section, No such promise, of course, was given, and vigorous mea- Gures are boing taken to bring that guerilia to justice.

We have already The prisoner, it appears, came to this country in 1864, and enlisted in the Second Massachusetts regiment, be- longing to the Twentieth corps of Major General Sher- man’sarmy. He was a foreman in the iron foundry of Edward Kertzscher, at Chemnitz, in Saxony, previous to his arrival in this country, and while so employed it is charged that he forged a bill of exchange for three hum- dred and thirty-six thalers currency, purporting te be drawn by Edward Kertzscher upon himself at Chemnitz, and payable to the order of Theodore Seydel, onthe last of April, 1864.

The Consul General of Saxony at this port obtained the necessary requisitions, and finally had the prisoner arrosted in the camp of bis regiment a few weeks ago. At the proceedings yesterday the prisoner was present attended by his counsel, Mr. A. J. Dittenboffer. The accused is a plain, inoffensive looking individual, with- out anything remarkable in his pbysiognomy. ‘The King of Saxony was represented by Mr. C. W.

Mr. Dittenboffer objected to the reception of the copy of the legal procentinee beld in Saxony, on the ground that they were not duly authenticated by the American Consul, in accordance witb the provisions of the atatate. The statute, he contended, requires that they should'be certified to legally and properiy before being received im court, He objected to the papers the Cousul had not added bis official designation to bie name, and be- cause there was no evidence that be was Consul at the time of the signature. Mr. Lapaugb spoke at considerable length in opposition to the motion. The Commissioner, after further discussion, denied the motion of the counsel for the accused, and the papers were read. The first witness examined was Mr. Samuel a who was called for the ution, and testified as lows:—lI reside in the city of New York; was employed by Mr. Lapaugh to discover the whereabouts of the pri- soner, Seydel; I went to Washington in regard to the case last Wednesday week; I went to the headquarters of the Second Massachusetts Volunteers; I saw the pri- soner there and had a conversation with him; be told me bis name, place of birth, the et in Saxony, and the names of bis wil said his real oa! was Frederick Sey: born in Stuessen, near Groesheissen; he wrote ment in my presence in which he stated his name and birth, , and that be was foreafan in Kertzscher's irom ment and asked bim to tdentify it.

Counsel for prosecution here handed the witness two letters, purporting to have been written by the accused to a woman in this city, and asked him if he ideotified the signature of Seydel Witness—Those ai signatures of the prisoner; I could tell bis signature from having seen him write the paper a he wrote at camp by the request of his colonel. Counsel for the accused objected to the testimony of the “itness on this subject unless the witness could prove himself competent. uf Mr. Lapaugb romarked that there would be an oppor- tunity to test the comptency of the witness on the croms- examination. Mr. Dittenboffer, at the conclusion of the direct ex- amination, presented three letters to the witness, and asked him to point out which was in the handwriting of the prisoner, The witness selected one, which Mr. tenhotfer stated to the court was not in the hanawriti of the prisoner, but one addressed to him (the by aclient.
