There are three things, he said, in the case of the prisoner Payne which are admitted be- yond cavil or dispute, First, that he is the person who -attempted to take the life of the Secretary of State; second, that he is not within the medical definition of ‘Ansanity; third, that he believes what he was doing was tight and justifiable. The questions as to his identity and sanity are, therefore, settled and among the things of ‘the past, andthe sole remaining question is how far shall his convictions serve te mitigate his punishment. He used the word punishment deliberately, and with the ee that in se oe Fog Cerna it the ‘prisoner is a responsible being he ought to nished ; ‘und he sald it because he could not allow. bis duties as jnsel to interfere with his convictions as @ man 60 ir as to make him blind as to the worth of the Ufe of distinguished citizen and to the awful consequence of an attempt to take it away. If, indeed, such an attempt should be allowed to go without rebuke, then it seemed to him the office is but a perilous expo- ‘gure to violence, The highest compensation for public -service Is the destruction that follows assassination, and then our public servants are but pene and defencelees offerings to sedition; and surely if any public servant de- smetved to be excepted from that fate it was the illustrious ‘and eagacious staesman who, during along life of arduous aor! has steadfastly checked all manner of faction and public discontent; who in the.darkest days of discord ‘has prophesied tite triumph of concord, and who at all ‘times has been more ready to spply antidotes than the knife to the nation’s wounds. we may accurately and as fully as the occasion demands understand the -gonvictions of the prisoner, the counsel proceeds to give ‘ sketch of his life, the customs under which he was reared, and the education which he re- <orlved.

He urged that on sore Mnerel if he will mart; ym, and, fol we gratify him, he wi triumph over us; but if = spare him, we will triumph over bim. If suffered to live he will receive the worst pun- ishment, obscurity, and the public will have nothing to admire.’ He bas killed no man, and if he be put to death, we shall have the anomaly of the victim sur- de 9 the murderer, and under the laws he can be punished only for assault and battery with intent to kill, and therefore imprisoned. Mr. Doster proceeded with ban Parc ar rece: cd wh es i edcogies td eae saved ; fore concluding spoke e many qualities he had found in the prisoner by his intercourse with him; his frank, manly bearing; his disinclination for notoriety, and his indisposition to screen himself from punishment. His only prominent anxiety was lest the people should think him a hired assassin or a brute; an aversion to being made a public spectacle of, and a desire to be tried at the hands of his fellow citizens.

In the eyes of the lad the war meant to abolish this custom, and up- heave society from its foundations, His inheritance was to bo dissi ; his vassal his oqual ; his laws invaded ; his ecligion confounded; his politics a heresy. For this the tad was going to fight in the defence of a social system, He was 4 Ox fight in behalf of the traditional precepts of State—to defend State rights. For town, and went to my cousin’s house in Mont- Hoorn county, where I was arrested. On the loth, after Iwas arrested, I told Provost Mar. shal Wells and Provost Marshal McPhail the whole story; algo told it to Captain Monroe, and Colonel Wells told me if I pointed out the way Booth had gone would be reprieved; and so I told him I thought he had gone down to Charles county in order to cross the Potomac; the arms which were found in my room at the Kirkwood House, and a black coat, do not belong to me; on the afternoon of the 14th of April Harold called to see me, and left the coat there; it is his coat, and all in it belo: to him, as you can gee by the handkerchiefs marked wit! his initials and with the name of his sister, Mrs. Naylor.

The counsel aske whether, in | six in the evening I went to Nayl again and took out the wide ‘world, there is another school in which the I rode out for an hour and returned her to prisoner could so well have been trained for assassina- tion asin this slave autocracy? Mr. D. proceeds to ar- gue that in this prisoner is to be found the legitimate moral odtspring of slavery, State rights, chivalry and de- Jusion, and then goes on to inquire if we, as the Ameri- an people, are not responsibie for the wicked school ja which he was educated, and if we will deter- mine to destroy him because he learned but as Naylor's. It was then nearly eight, and I told him to keep the mare ready at ten o'clock, in order to return her to the man I hired ber from. From there I went to the Herndon House, Booth sent a message to Oyster Bay, where I was, saying he wanted toree me, and I went. Booth wanted me to murder Mr. Johnson. 1 then went to the Oyster Bay on the avenue, above Twolfth street, and whiled away the time till about ten. ‘wo instructed.

Thedemoralizing effect of his two years’ campaigning asa private in the army, which be entered as a boy of sixteen, is shown. Seo is one of that army who made baskets and cups out of the bones of Union soldiers, who starved their pris- oners, who plundered the dead, who slew men atter sur- render, and were commanded by officers who had vio- tated their oaths to the United States—an army that believed any means justifiable that helped the cause of Foothern independence; and finally, an army that held the person and Cabinet of the President of the “nited States in holy execration. This is the horrible demoralization of civil war, and on those responsible for ‘this war abould rest the responsibility of the acta of this «plastic boy, who came into ihe world in the year of the annexation of Texas, has lived but four admin- and by the time I got back to the Kimmell House it was near two, The man Thomas was a stranger I met on the street. Next morning, as stated, I went to my cousin Richter’s, in Montgomery county. “GEO. A. ATZEROTT."" Mr. Doster, proceeding with his argument, quoted the specification under which the prisoner Atzerott is charged, as followe:—‘‘And in further prosecution of the said con- spiracy, and its traitorous and murderous designs, the said Geo A. Atzerott did, on the night of the 14th of April, 1806, and about the same hour of the night afore. said, within the mili department and military lines aforesaid, He in wait for Andrew Johnson, then Vice President of the United States aforesaid, with the intent unlawfully and maliciously to kill and murder the said Andrew Johnson."’ In su) of this specification the government has submitted the testimony of Weichmann and Miss Surratt that he was frequently at Mra, Booth; of Greenwalt interviews with Booth at the Kimmel! istrations, is younger than the last compromise with ma slavery.

He differed from the Southern army simply because he surpassed it in courage, and he differed from a patriot and a martyr, simply because he was mistaken in bis duty. But there is a third school ‘defore him. From Gettysburg he was sent to West Buildings Hoepital, Pratt street, Baltimore, and remained ‘till October, 1863, when soving no hope of exchange, he deserted for his regiment of cavalry at Fauquier, He remained in that gervice till January 1, 1865.

Thie would be sufficient to Sapte Norton’s statements. But is other evidence that he was deliberately making testi- mony, for ne says onthe same day he saw Dr. Mudd, who was asking for Booth. Dr. Mudd has shown that he was not at the Kirkwood or in Washington city on that day. This ingonious fabricator of testimony chose the 8d of March to give his story probability, and he appears before he wove this fine perjury to have omitted reading the testimony of Connover, who says the name of An- drew Johnson was not joined in the plot until after the eepaeretioa, and s cokes ae pame of Mr. Hamlin Was on the list, and so pei rated an egregious blunder. How singular that he should eee exact words for three months, and facts, when he is go short- sighted as might be inferred he is a notable false witness. He takes patent cases, and if he cannot win by argument, he takes the witness box and swears them poets ir. Hon: ne wealthy citizen of Troy, and Judge Olin, teatify that they would not believe him on oath. From the internal evidence of his test!- mony, its falsity inthe matter of Dr. Mudd, its proven falsity in the time of Atzerott’s visit to the Kirkwood House, and his known reputation asa falco witn Jeavos no shadow of doubt that his testimony is the off- apring of a desire to distinguish himself on the witness stand, and that Atzerott never met Booth at the National on the 8d of March, or had the alleged conversation with him. The third strong point of the prosecution is that Atzerott left room 126 at the Kirkwood House, taking the key with him, and in his room was found a coat containing a bowie knife, pistol, handkerchief, marked J. Wilkes Booth, together with notes on the Ontario Bank inthe name of Booth, and memoranda showing they once belonged to Booth. The coat and contents were disposed of by the prosecution. McPhail swears Atzerott told him that the coat and arms belonged to Harold; the clerk said that some one called to see Atze- rott im the afternoon. It was Harold, and he left bis Coat in the room. The handkerchief is marked with the name of Mary &. Nayler, sister of Harold. Another is marked “H.’’ for Harold. But why did Atzerott suffer his coat and arms to be in his room; because he was in a BS to capture the President. In so far he was the col- jue of id and Booth, no further, because of the SS a ee To be used in defence e carried the knife and pistol which McAllister used to keop for Lim, the Same Kuife he threw sway, end the same pistol be pawned, and therefore he suffered Harold to leave his armor for the same reason he carried hisown. Butwhy did Atzerott £ away with the key and never come back? Because 1¢ did not want to be arrested. Because he was not guilty of aiding in the assassination of Mr. Lincola Be- cause he was in the plot so faras to capture the Presi- dent, and when he was ordered to kill the Vice President and he was unable to resolve either to tell the authorities for fear of Booth, or to do the doed for fear of being hung, and so he just abandoned the room as he abandoned every thing else connected with the confed- eracy. Had he beenable to resolve to do his allotted duty, he would naturally have taken the coat of Harold and put it on, and used the arms. Had he been able to resolve to fly at once, would bave removed traces of his participation. One reason for leaving without paying was because he bad no rye ‘and the reason for leaving the coat was because it did not belong to him; but the main reason was that he was between two fires that brought out his ‘Dative irresolution, and so he cut the gordian knot by running away. Weesball see that be left the Kimmeil House the next morning without paying bis bill. It was for the same reason. ie had no money until after he pawned his pistol in Georgetown. The fourth point of the prosecution is that Atzerott lodged in the same house with the Vice President. The relative situation of the rooms was favorable to assassination, The room of the Vice President was one which no one could help passing in going down or up, and room 126 was as remote from it as possible and ina different wing. It is evident that any one desirous of lying in wait for the Vice President would have taken @ room on the same floor, but the actual fact is better than suppositions. Mr. Browning says the Vice President was in his room from five to ten, during which time the deed could have been done. There is no evidence that Atzerott was at the house during that time except that of Fletcher, who says that Atzorott the man. The point brought in support of the ‘orton, whose declaration is he went there and stayed five minutes. What was he doing there? Hoe wes taking a drink atthe bar. If he tried to kill Mr. Jobnson why was it not shown. No one was seen lying in wait, the lock had not been tampered with, the Vice President was undisturbed even by a knock on the door, and why? Because Atzerott refused to do !t—because he kept up appearances but backed out— because the instrument which was to have assassinated the Vice President was too conscientious or was afraid to doit. The fifth point is that on his arrest he gavea false name, denied having left Washington recently, and said he had ses to do with the assassinations. For the last statement he told the truth. Assassinations end murders were things for which he was not by nature intended, and he bad nothing to do with them. As for the false name it Mee that eant Grinnell under. stood his name to Atwood. Knowing that he had been in league with others to capture the President, he was id to confess his part then, and denied ing recently left Washington. The sixth point ia that he sai to Fletcher, after ten o'clock, on the 14th of April:—“If this thing na to-night, you will hear of * and also in reference to tho mare: “She i: sion Atzerott was about half drunk; whi! other re- marks were made after the parties had taken their cock tatis, So that, even if we credit the drunken memorics of the witnesses, we cannot more than credit it to pot valor, pointing to the ible desperate méiée, of an attempt to is only one as sumption that will make everything clear—Atzerots backed out.

The resolutions set forth that it is the opinion of the House that the adoption of the Quebeo scheme would prove politically, commercially and financially disastrous to the best interests and prosperity of this province; that the loyalty and attachment of the ple to the throne and government of Great Britain cannot be bar pepe that the people of the province tight of self-government, which empowers em to decide upon ali questions affecting their own local interests, in such a manner as to them may seem best calculated to promote their rity and Welfare; that at the recent elections the people of New Brunswick “clearly and unequivocal! nounced & Judgment adverse to the adoption” of the Quebec resolu- tions; that the House believes her Majesty's government will receive with due attention the expression of the hg pronounced; and that as it ‘has reason to fear that her Majesty's government are but imperfectly aware or the true state of the feelings of the people on the subject” they deem it desirable to appoint a delega- tion to proceed to England “to make known to the im- perial government the views and feelings of this House sa the people of this province on this important sub- ject.

The Approac Detrott Convention and the Reciprocity Treaty. {From the Montreal Gazette, June 17-] We bope there will be @ full attendance of the dele. gates from the several towns of Canada at the prelimi- nary meeting to be held at Toronto on Wednesday next It is most desirable that the representatives of colonial commercial interests should act with something like accord at Detroit, and for that reason it is to bo regrotted that thore is little hope of seoing either tho Halifax or St. John delegates at Toronto, Efforts are being made to secure the sending of delegates from Prince Rdward Island and Newfou 4 to the convention, as they leo are largely interested im the roslt of the delibera- tions at Detroit and subsequent negotiations by tl goveromenta. The state of public opinion in tho United Bates, as evidenced alike by the more able organs of the commercial and reported by those among us who have of late held intercourse with leading commercial men in the larger business communities, is decidediy favorable to a renewal of the treaty in some way, althongh, perhaps, not on precisely the same terms as before, It ts ve erally belioyed that the basis of Hi by the Detroit convention will sotsloment arriv carry with it sufficiont in@ueuce tw determine the course whiob will be pursued by the President and by Congress in the coming autumn session ‘There i one caution which tho colonial delegates will do well to heed, to which, perhaps, one noeds to call their attention. They go to Detroit not as negotiators to conclude a treaty, but as men versed in our commercial affairs, to set forth to our American neighbors the ad- vantages which bave arisen, and may arise, out of the greatest practical freedom of trade, There can be no otjection to their declaration resolutions of the advieability of @ renowal of the Rociprocity treaty. But there may be very decided objections to any distinot ox- jon Of opinion on thelr part that the colonies can make = further concessions in order to secure it That will be matter for negotiations between the repre. sentatives of the government of Great Britain and that of the United States, The United = Government at the ‘onvention.

A New York Ma: (From the reury, The mails for New York, Boston, &c., wore as usual despatched from Montreal on Saturday aftenoon last by the Champlain Railroad train, in charge of a Canadian mail clerk as far asthe province lino, after which the responsibility for the further charge of the mail do volved on tho baggage master of the train. There is no doubt the bags continued as far as St. Albans, whore the train stops some time. The “through bag’ from that town for New York waa placed in the car, and the train progressed, gathering oihor bage en rowe. On reaching Troy, howover, it waa discovered that two of the bags had been cut open—pamely, that from St. Albans for New York and the bag from Montreal for Troy. Fortunately the Montreal letver package for Troy had not beon taken out, but the St. Albans package for New York had beon abstracted. It is, of course, evidout Albans, whilst the wuln stopped there, or between s& Albans and Troy.

A number of persons were more or less injured by sone. Sad come wy shot. nee ee latter was utenant Nelson, of Com ixty-sixth regimen who was shot in the left con e wound is sup to be mortal.

The riot was reported at the central police office, in this city, at seven o’clock last evening, and Superintend- ent Kennedy at once issued orders to Captain Todd, in command of the Harbor Police boat, to be in readiness to take a large force of the police down to the island, and sections from various precincts were detailed for that Urpor Intelligence was gg he the next boat, jowever, that the crew of the United States revenue outter had quelled the disturbance, and that the services of the police would not be needed.

BLACK AND TAM FUPS-—PRO- PERTY FINDING IN THE PREOINOT— HAVE CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO FROPRETY FOUND WITHOUT AN OWNEB, BTO. The veritable John Smith, who will turn up occasion ally, was before the Police Commissioners yesterday ag Complainant against officer Weiss, of the Ninetcenth pre- cinet. Citizen Smith stated that be was propricter of @ smallboat stand at the foot of Thirty-fourth strect; thas one of his boats was run into and stove by # schooner, and drifted ashore on the beach line fronting a beer gar- den kept by Mr. Funck; that he went to Mr. Funck to get permission to take bis boat, and fond a large hole me it, and that he there met officer Weiss, and asked him # be had thrown the stone into the boat. This question, witness stated, enraged Weiss, who cinbbed him abous the back without cause. On a crosa-examination wit- ness admitted that he called the officer a “Dutch som of & b—h,” and used other abusive language. Citizen Funck was called up, and stated that he wae Prevent at the time of the alleged assault, and heard Citizen Smith abuse the officer aud raise his hand an ifte Strike him; and further, that there was a festfval on the ground at the time, and'that Smith got over the fence, tead of coming round by the door in the usual r- I¢ appeared that the officer did no more than his duty the matier. Captain Hart stated that Cfizen Funck ha@ been a captain in the army, and had been in fourtees Southern prisons during the war. Julius Schneider, a young man residing in the Tenth ward, complained against dsman Hart, of the Tenth. precinet polite. Schneider stated that he ‘was standing at the junction of Camal and Bayard streets, whem Roundsman Hart came up and ordered him away, subse quenily arresting him and taking him to the station house and afterwards to court, where he was locked and that it cost him eighteen doliare to got out; all without cause or provocation. Roundsman Huet stated that he saw Schneider standing on the corner al- luded to, in company with several others, whom he knew to be thieves and suspicious persons; that be ordered them away, believing they were there for no good purpose; that they went away a@ short dis tance and returned again, and Se, thinking he might find something like burglar’s tools about the party, arrcsted four of them and took them to the station house, where he searched them; that one of them had eight knives about his person, and he thought it best to take them alt before Justice Mansfield, who locked them up days, With regard to the eighteen dollars, he said that asthe young man had a lawyer the eighteen dollags probably went to him. President Acton took occasion te remind Schneider that the indignities he had suilered were owing to the company he was found in, and that te avoid trouble he would do well not to have any similar associations in the future. Officer Houseman, of the Sixteenth precinct, was arraigned on charge of Captain Hedden, of the Six teenth, for being concerned in a dog case. The Cap tain stated that Houseman left his beat and went inte premises No. 146 West Eighteenth street to adjudicate om adog case. It appeared that the lady occupying premises bad a dog which was claimed aa the property another man, and that this man had come into the house and taken the dog off, under the protection of the officer. The officer stated that the man camo to bi and claimed that this woman had his dog, that he went there to inquire about it; that the moment the dog was let out he ram to the man, who picked him up and took him away. Captain Heddon said if time were aliowed, and it were necessary to go into the rights of ownership, he could show that the dog did aot belong to either of the claim~- ants. He did not consider, however, that he had any- thing to do with the case further than concerned the officer, who, he believed, was wrong in interfering in the matter. This appeared to be the opinion of the Commis- sioners, and the parties were advised to settle their dog cases in the future without the aid of the police. House- man was also tly reminded that he could be better oc} cupied in protecting the public property than in adja- cating on the ownership of doge. ‘A case rolating to the rights of citizens to property found by them in the street, was developed in the com- plaint of Mrs. Elizabeth Aheru, of 274 Spring street, against officer Cox, of the Sixteenth precinct. Mrs. Aherm stated that as she was passing down Hudson street, near Grove, she picked up a gontleman’s handkerchiet lying on the walk noar a dry goods store; thas officer Cox came up and ‘snatched the hamd- kerchief away from her, saying it probably belonged to the proprietor of ‘the store; they wens into the store together, and found it did not bolong there, and that the officer still kept possession of the prize, and said he would take it to the station house. Et appeared in evidence that the officer did take it there, and that it was turned over to the property clerk. Mra Ahern was under the opinion that as the handkerchiet did not belong to the store she should have had it. She was informed, however, that all property coming te the knowledge of the police as baving been found muss be taken possession of by them, aud turned over to the property clerk for disposal according to law. Officer Com ‘was reprimanded for treating the lady rudely, but de- nied that he did so. Mrs. Abern listened to the re: of the Commissioner about recovered property, but wae evidently not convinced that ber right to property foun@ in the streets was not valid in the absence of the right fulowner. Should the entire city be polled to-day e vote on this question ten oul eleven would undoudt- edly be found of Mra. Abern’s opinion. Kverybody al- most supposes that any property found by them in the streets belongs to them until the owner appears. At least, is the idea the world acts upon, and will um doubtedly continue so to act. There wore numerous other cases, but none of special importance. A.
