8 ‘WASHINGTON. Wasuincroy, June 9% 1807 The Next Presideney—General Grant Avxious for the Nomination to be Tendered to Liew- venant General Sherman. ‘The nomination to be made for the next Presidency ts beginning to create a little wwtereet im this city, Io Both potitical and private circies this important question forms ene of the current topics of conversation, On all Jhands may be heard the merits and chances of the men who are most prominently before the country, aud Whore nomination for the office is withia the range of Probability, being discussed. Quite a number of political managers and schemers have been here, and some of them aro here yet, operating with ail the imiluence Mey represent im favor of propositions jooking to the coming nomination, Some of theso gentlemen are bere now, itis said, to induce General Grant to ac- cept tho nomination; but report says that nothing satis- factory in reference to % can be elicited from the Gen- eral i is known that many of these political councils are held at the country residence of the elder Blair, on which occasions General Grant and Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, are nearly always present. General Grant, t has been stated by those who are acquainted with bis views on this subject, although he does not desire to become a candidate bimself, is anxious to have Lieutenant General Sherman receive the nomination, and would be deeply gratified if hé should succeed in reach- ing the Presidential chair. Schuyler Colfax and Senator Wilson are also mentioned in conavction with the nomi- nation. Tho Surrratt Trial—-Ap Ea ot Prosecutio: te be Carried On—Impeortant Testimeny in the Ha of the Government. Infommation received to-night from a highly reliable Bource would seem to leave no doubt that the Surratt trial will proceed to-morrow, The government is ready, and should another postponement occur the fault wil! be on the side of the prisoner, and not of th» prosecution. Previous postponements were due to difficulties in bring- ang together a large number of witnesses from different parts of the country; but sinco the connection of Judgo Pierrepont and Mr. Riddle with District Attornoy Car- ringtion in the prosecution, a degree of energyjand acti ty has been infused inte the case, which, in the course ef two weeks has changed it {rom an almost lost cause to one of vitality and vigorous carnestoess. It is not generally known that thejtrial is to take place in a measure underthe direction of Secretary Seward. It was through hus agents that Surratt was tracked, captured and vrought back to this country, and at his request Jadge Prerre- pont was retained in the case for the prosecution. Through Judge Pierrepont’s careful investigation of the ease, 1 believe, is due the fact that the trial is now ready to proceed, and not still languishing from month to month and term to term, Not only are the pros :ution ready, but I have good reason to know that they have accumulated testimony that will certainly con- viet the unfortunate prisoner. ‘Till within a few days Surratt bas kept up his courage 4n a manner that gave some slight look of probability to the mysterious rumors that he would never be tried; that thore were men “high in position” who could not afford to permit his conviction, and that, in fact, Surratt, though a guilty man, had a secret in his possession that rendered bim master of Carrington, Seward, Stanton, Johnson and the wholo Executive government. But ‘now (he case bears quite another aspect, and the conduct ef the prisoner and his counse) smacks rather largely of Draggadocio, 1 am informed that, from the Presi- dent down, the Cabinet are a unit in desiring Surratt’a trial and his conviction, should the ‘evidence. warrant, Surratt evidently feels bim- welf that his prospects have undergone a change for the worse, and the consequence now is that he 18 Bow spirited and dejected. The great dependence of the defence all along bas been their supposed ability to prove an alidi, or to browbeat the government by threats of siartling disclosures implicating leading members of ‘he government, if not the Prosident himself. The Jaticr, 1 have shown, has entirely failed, and the former, Jam assured, will be equally unsuccessful, The prosecution have succeeded in obtaining unim- eachable witnesses to prove that Surratt was in this city on the day of the assassination, and all his subsequent movements, from the time of his @kbt on the night of the same day, have Deen tracked with marvellous precision. After Jeaving this city he fied northward, and was traced to Burlington, 8. Albans, St. Lawrence and Montreal. The hotels he stopped at are known, the meals he ate, his conversations, and the voriest trifies of his doings have come to the knowledge of the prosecation, The keepers of the hotels at which he stopped in these places are now. here to testify. At St. Albans, where he was on the 17th of April, and not the 15th, as previously stated, he dropped a pocket handkerchief containing bis name, and this article is now in the possession of the prosecution. Trifling link though it bo in the chain of evidence against ‘Dim, it 1s said that the defence intend to make an effort to prove that this handkerchief was dropped by a friend of Surratt and not by the prisoner himself; but that effort will fail, inasmuch as Messrs. Pierrepont, Carring- ‘ton and Riddle are prepared to show that this friend of Borrats did not leave New York for days after the time ‘the handkerchief was picked up. Payne, one of the executed assassins, made a con- fession the night before bis death, in which it is said he d@ivalged the whole plot, implicating Surratt and cor- roborating Weichmap’s testimony in every essential point, This confession was never given to the pablic Defore, but will probably be brought up on this trial. ‘This will form another Interesting chapter in the history of this terrible tragedy. It should be said, moreover, ‘Mhat in his confession not the slightest word is said that ould show any knowiedge of the President or other ofiicers of the government of the conspiracy. The sensation story, therefore, of the Cincinnati Garette the ether day is a!l bosb. As one of the curious things connected with this queer ease I may add that a friend of one of the counsel for ‘the defence states that the counsel in quesiion said the ether day to a gentleman connected with the proseca- tion, “Aro you in earnest in stating that Judge Pierre pont is really ready to proceed with the trial?” Om Deing informed that Judge Pierrepont was indeed pre- pared, the lawyer forthe defence is reported to have said, ‘Sir, there ia a power behi Surratt that will not Permit him to be convicted.” The significance of this ‘Oracular utterance is difficult ¢o make out, It seeme to ‘dea fact that Sorratt has told his legal advisers that should be be convicted he will inform on men high in position, and his lawyers appear to believe in the poss!- Dility of some startling disclosures; bat that they ha been humbugged by their chent looks remarkabiy probable, There bas been an informality, it seems, in procuring @ panel of jurors, and this may possibly cause a Jittle de, Jay. The law provides that a board composed of the Register of Washington, the Clerk of the Levy Court and an official in Georgetown shall prepare a list ‘of Jurors from the taxpayers, and send up the list thus ob- tained, and on the day appointed the clerk of the court shall draw by lot twenty-six names. It seems that the Board did not comply with these legal requirements, ‘Dut selected jurors in a free and easy atyle from Bames 4n the Directory, without reference to taxpayers at all A motion will be made to set aside this panel for the Teasons stated by the District Attorney to-morrow morn- ing, aod the motion will be granted. The cause of the motion for setting aside the panel of jurors is the fact that sixteen ont of the twenty-six names are those of Peoplé of the Catholic persuasion. It is believed that Unt occurred accidentally ; but it is considered judicious to have « list of persons as jurors more nearly repre- @en'ing different religious creeds, especially as the Prisoner is himeclf a Catholic, ‘The Cabinet on General Sheridan's Mode of Reconstracts The Cabimet is said to be very mearly equally divided in opinion ow the action of Gencral Sheridan in removing Govorner Wells, of Louisiana, and the'municipal officers of Now Orleans, and es this question will form the prin- cipal subject under comsideration at the meeting of the ‘Cabinet on Tuesday next, it is expected that a Jong and stormy session Wilt Le the consequence ‘The Capture xiii} Confirm Pi ez. * following letter from President Jaarer, which dispels ati doubt as to the captare of Querviaro and Maximilian: — Sas Lcws Poros, May 15, 1867, Dox Maras Romero, Washington: — i.

That is the redress whieh the laws of the State promise to the man whose family bus been buried under a curse Worse than the murderer can bring, and that is ‘all it offrs to stay the vivience and turmoil of his one, Now out of this has grown the fact which has been strenethened by the ts of law, and which bus grown into a common law stronger than the statuies, the murderer of an adulterer is to g0 unpunished.
