Ex-President Johnson Replies to Judge Holt Concerning the Execution of Mrs. Surratt-The Judge Placed om the Horn of a Dilemma. Ex-President Johnson has addressed a communt- cation to the Washington Chronicle in reply to that of Judge Holt, published in that paper in August last, on the subject of the execution of Mrs, Sur- Tatt as one of the assassins of President Lincoin. Mr. Johnson says:— ‘ht years have elapsed since the Ameronn pet: Po called on to mourn the death of Mr. Lin- coin, whose unselfish devotion to the Union and genuine Ridicl Sooty with the masses have made his name & household word not only in the North, but in the once rebellious South. During this long in- terval Judge Holt has remained illent, and only at this late day attempts to*meet the charge made, as he deciares in his letter to the Secretary of War soon alter the execution of Mary KE. Surratt, that he withheld irom the President, when Dm ety the record of her trial, @ petition signed by five members of the cour recommending, in consideration of her age an sex, & commutation of her death sentence to imprisonment for fe in the Peni- tentiary. Having at last gathered what he terms the proofs of his innocence, he Offers them for the consideration of the Wal om partinent, and at the same time seeks consolation in the fact that, notwithstanding the allegation made against him, the President ordered no Court for his trial, had no charges preferred and made no open accusation, but to the si se of his admin- continued wit! im the same oMictal relations as before, without givin the ‘reasons which at that time won! 1h all probability have operated against any deve- Jopment of the jacts in this case. The question suggests itself, why Judge Holt in this attack upon ae Peres, inet ay 1 not himself Senne s urt of Inquiry, Dis witnesses were thei. living; the circumstances a ete The execution of the conspirators were fresh in the public mind, His reputation was at stake and must have been as dear to hin fen as now.

Which deiay would: ni me Skilled in sophiStry, he uses to the best ad- vantage all that he considers proved by his eA: and even construes my forbearance as evidence in his favor.” After reviewing the evidence adduced by Judge Holt Mr. Johnson says: tn his search for testimony Judge Holt succeeded in discovering only one witness who said he saw the record of the case, with the petition attached, in the President’s office. This witness is Mr. James Speed, then Attorney General, who is undoubtedly mistaken in his statements; tor, as already shown, the findt and sentences of th Court were submitted oa of (ae mi lgue), Were then and there approved the” Executive and taken by Judge Advocate General to the War Depart- re, on the same afternoon, she order O Cabty theur {Ato effect was fasued, Speed, count! ss, SAW the “cgord, hut Ay maaet have been int) é Department of War Bi the execu- tive office. Mr. Harlan’s letter has significance an ~ ring to an informal discussion net members upon he thinks Mr. Speed was present; he positivel; states that neither at that ing. wor na was any part o$ the record of the trial Ger r of the Court or the recommendation for clemency read in his presente. The record of the Court was submitted to me by Judge Holt in the afternoon of the 5th day of July, 1865. Inatead of entering the executive mansion in the usual way he gained ad- mission by the private or family entrance to the ex- ecutive office. ie examination of the papers took piace in the library, and he and [ alone were pres- ent. The sentences of the Court in the cases of Harold, Atzerodt and Payne were considered in the order named, and then the sentence in the case of Mrs. Surratt. In acting upon ber case no recom- endation fora commutation of her punishment was mentioned or submittell to me. But the quesbon of her Sex, which fas already": been averted to and ‘discussed by the news- | paper coldmns, presented itselfand was commented Upon both py Judge Holt and myself. With peculiar foree and solemnity he urged the fact that the criminal was a woman was, in itself, no excuse or palliation; that when a woman unsexed herself and entered the area of crime it was rather an aggravation than a mitigation of the offence; that the law was not made to punish men only, but all, without regard to sex, who vioiated its provisions; that to discriminate in favor of Mrs, Surrat and against Harold, Atze- rodt and Payne, who were sentenced by the same Court and at the same time to suffer the penalty of death, would be to offer a premium to the female sex to engage in crime and bribe the principal actors in its commission; that since the rebellion began in some portions of the country females had been prominent in aiding and abetting traitors, and he thought the time had come when it wag absolutely necessary in a case so clearly and conclusively established to set an ex- ample which. would have a salutary influence. He ‘was not only in javor of the approval of the se tence, but its execution at the earliest practicable day, Upon the termination of our consultation Judge Holt wrote the order approving the sentence of the Court, Iamxed my name to it, and, rolling eup the papers, he took his leave, carrying the record with him, and departing as he had come— through the family or pr! e entrance. From the above statement it will be noted the papers. were not submitted in the usual way by the Secretary of War, but brought to the President by the Judge Advocate General, under, of course, the instroctions of Mr. Stanton. This, doubtiess, was done to save time and hasten the execution, and evinces the spirit which animated Judge Hoit ps the entire proceedings. Who can doubt that if his name and that of Judge Bingham had been attached to the fire signed by five mem- bers of the Court, and the prayer had been brought to the attention of the President, such an applica- tion would have been duly weighed hy the Exec. utive before final action in the premises? Mr. Jonnson says in conclusion :— It being absolutely certain that if the petitien ‘was attached to the original record betore it was submitted to the President it is not to be found in the printed record, authorized by Judge Holt and certified to by Colonel Burnett, Speciat Judge Advocate of the Commission. The question arises which of the two is authentic and genuine? If the _ record in possession of tne Judge Advocate General is true, then that is false which he has given to the public. If, on the other hand, the ord pub- lished with his official sanction is true, then that in his bureau ts false necessarily. Judge Holt is at liberty to accept either alternative and to escape as he may the inevitable conclusion that he did not only fail tosubmit the petition to the President, but suppressed and withheld it from the official history of the most important trial in the annals of the nation.

Liability of Canal Boats and Barges to Enrolment Licenses—Important Decision. In @ case of libel of the scow General Cass for tonnage, in the United States District Coart for Michigan, to test the question whether water craft of the class to which the scow belongs are subject to the Naviga- tion laws, Judge Loengyear recently held that scows and similar craft, even though having no means of propulsion of their own, are treated aa vessels in various acts of Congress, and are therefore subject to the navigation laws of the United States. The Judge says:—‘‘By the act of July 20, 1846, ‘canal boats without masts or steam power’ are expressly exempted from payment of the hospital tax required of registered or enrolled and licensed vessels and also from liability to attachment for seamen’s wages. If such boats without masts or steam power were not included in the general provisions of the law requiring the tax, orof the maritime law making them subject to attachment, what was the necessity of exemption? The Judge also referred to the act of March 2, 1821, which exempted rafts, flats, boats or vessels from custom house fees, as by implica- tion conveying the idea that such craft were subject to general laws in relation to and William Wood, the persons implicated in tar- ring and feathering Kelsey, appeared with their counsel before Judge Armstrong, at Jamaica, this morning.

There was a meeting last evening at Dr. Crosby's church in Fourth avenue to consider plana whereby to improve the condition of the Indians. There were not many persons present, though there was a great deal of interest manifested in the proceedings, Mr. Powell was made Chairman and Mr. Underhill Secretary. The Chairman suid that something should be done to prevent the ex- termination of this remnant of God's children. Mr. Wolff said that there was a material as well 3 a moral consideratiun in this question. Out of the $50,000,000 donated by the government for this question fully $45,000,000 was spent on the Indians themsetves, Judictous Management could reduce this to $10,000,000 and they could in ten years be made self-support- ing.

He had a bill which Mr. 8, 8, Cox would introduce in the grming Congrens to bring this matter to a head, and which would provide for the proper government of the Indians.

Jeff Davis’ Judicial Interrogator Slapped im the Face by m Seventy Yours of Age—MecVeigh’s Uncomplimentary Titles. Ricamonp, Va., Nov. 11, 1873. Quite @ scene occurred here to-day between Mr. William N. McVeigh, formerty of Alexandria and now of this city, and Judge John ©, Under- wood, of the United States District Court. It will be remembered by the readers of the H#RaLD that Judge Underwood, the late Oakes Ames Samuel Hooper and John 8B. Alley, of Massachusetts, conjointly purchased, under a confiscation decree of Underwood's, the property of Mr. McVeigh, at Alexandria, during the war, forasum that was merely nominal. After the close of the war McVeigh, who is now upwards of seventy years of age, brought suit against Under- wood for the recovery of hia property, which was valued at about §70,000. Repeated decisions have been made in McVeigh’s favor by the State courts, ending _. their confirmation by the Court of Appeala. Notwith- standing these, however, Underwood still lives in McVeigh’s house, having carried the case to the Supreme vVourt of the United States, where it may remain on file for years before it comesup for in- vestigation. Froui what can be learned of the affair to-day, is transpires that McVelgh was informea Underwood was secretly re- moving bis (McVeigh's) furniture from his house im Alexandria to Wastington, where Underwood intends to reside whenever ejected from McVeigh’s Premises, About fifteen minutes to two this alter- noon Judge Underwood was coming along Main street from the railroad depot on his way to the © tom House for the purpose of opening the United StatesCourt, having an engagement to ait in Vnam- pers. Th ne hand the Judge carried a amaji satcuel, stipposed to contain legal documents, afd in the heavy cane. At the same time, that the proached the corner of Ninth and Main Mr, McVeigh was crossing Main, to the safne point, where théy met by the merost accident. Upon seeing Underwood the memory of all lis injuries 80 sarees McVeigh that he contronted the Judge, stopped im and sad 1n an excited tone:— “want to have something to say to you, sir, said to have remarked, out My Property, SIT", . ween — onan gs Vad is “I do want to have any words with you,” making @ moyement as if to pass., ct ae Moveiait prevent this br stepping directly in front of the Judge, and, seizing bim by the lapel of the coat, said, “You have kept mysel d.my family out of my proport gn. oy Le “i cyegee,* TA6 yaupess, and now, air, yOu «6 svealing my furniture." x Tow but iv one interfered, Underwood, always ash, bi coming terribly frightened, dropped his sa’ fi and McVeigh having seized lis cane he grasped it with both of bis hands, the cane remaining be- tween the tro and held as lightly as by two babes, len then repeated something to the above effect, adding, ‘You are an old scoundrel and thiet,”” and pegan pummeliing the judicial face with all the feeble strength with which he was possessed. He struck Underwood several times, no blow having any more effect than an infant could Wake. At this juncture an elderly gentleman stepped forward and took Mr. McVeigh off, when the Tatler remarked, “Lam sorry that | stopped in the street to talk to such ® cowardly old villain." “fhe Judge, however, though very much fright- ened; had the presence of mind to pick up his legal satchel, Walked to the Custom House and held Court in the usual manner, This evening United States Commissioner Piesiilts issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr. McVeigh, on the charge of having obstructed aud assaulted a United States oMcial in the discharge o! his duty. Judge Underwood himselfjupon being subpoenaed in this case ex- pressed the greatest surprise. A number of others Were summoned to testify. The examumation will probably take place to-morrow, "FLEETWOOD PARK. a Last Day of the Extra Trotting Mecting— A Fine Attondance—Joe Clark the Win- ner of the 2:35 Purse and Judge Fuller- ton of the Match Race. A grand assemblage of Manhattan Island's best folks were out yesterday afternoon to witness the trotting at Fleetwood Park, and among them was an English nobleman, Lord Roseberry, who had never witnessed a trotting contest before. His Lordship seemed pleased with the way trotting aifairs are managed. He will probably visit the private stables of Robert Bonner, Frank Work and others before he leaves for home. Yhe tirst trot had twenty-one entries, but only eight came to the post when time was called. These were Jobn Murphy’s brown gelding Joe Clark, 1. Haight’s black gelding Damon, J. H. Phillips’ roan gelding Fred Tyler, W. E. Weeks’ gray gelding Tanuer Boy, James Dugrey’s gray geid- ing Ben Smith, J, Walker's bay mare Lady Aun H, Kelly’s bay mare Ella Millard, and J. J. Cla eray gelding Dan. Joe Ulark was the favorite against the eld before the start and continued so to the end. He won the race, Damon winning tne first and fourth heats. The latter won second money, Fred Tyler the third, and Tanner Boy the fourth premium. The great teature ofthe day, and the trot that brought all the great throng, was the race be- tween Judge Fullerton and American Giri, and if Judge Fullerton had been beaten on this occasion the owner and driver would have had to have hiaden their “diminished” heads forever. We have said before, and the buik of the people believed what we said, that “Judge Fullerton never lost a race that he could not have won.’? He played with American Girt yesterday as he could have played with all others this year. This great son of Edward averett willbe more forunate than his brothers Mountain Boy and Joe Elliott, as he has now all the best of the trotting turf before him. There are none in front of Jadge Fullerton ior the trotting season of 1874. The following are the detatls of the match race, the purse race being given 1n & summary :— FLEETWOOD PaRK, Nov, 11.—Match $1,000; mile heats, best three in five, ini harness, D. Mace named ch, g.

Judge Fullerton trotted down the grade to the quarter pole in 35 seconds, three lengths ahead of the Girl: and, as they turned into the lower turn, which is the fast part of the track, Fulierton had the best of it by three lengths. American Girl encroached a@ little on the gap as they passed around the lower turn; and, as Judge Falierton weut by the half-mile pole in 1:09%, American Girl was only two leng' behind him. Up the backstretch Fullerton showed the way; and, notwithstanding that every effort was rade by Dan Pfiter to jorce the mare aoe Fullerton wou this heat in hand by half a length, in 2:24, Second Heat.—The start was an even one, but Fullerton drew away immediately from tue mare; around the turn and at the quarter pole, which was passed in 34% seconds, Ful- lerton led three lengths. Around the lower turn Fullerton kept the gap open, and at the half-mile pole he had two lengths of daylight visible in 1:08 4. Going up the hill to the three-quarter pole Ameri- can Girl closed some of the daylight, but it was plain as day she had no business with Fullerton on this occasion. Judge Fullerton came home a very easy winner by a couple ot Lengths in 2:24;. Third Heat!—Fuilerton was an immense favorite. Ten dollars against $100 would not have been given by any of the mare’s backers, The start was a good one, but as both broke soon afterward the crowd were in donbt as to which was best.

Carelessness Supposed To Be the Cause ; of the Disaster. List of Those Killed, Wounded and Arrested. A boiler of 120 pounds capacity, belonging to John Balmore, of First avenue and 110th street, exploded at fifteen minutes past four o’clock, yes- terday aiternoon, killing seven persons and wounding nine others.

It was attached toa hotsting machine, and the men employed upon it were in the act of moving the apparatus further up the Street, The report made by the escape of the imprisoned steam attracted the attention of Ser- geant Osborne, of the Twellth Precinct police, who was on his way to dinner, and ascertaining the location of the disaster by the screams of the wounded people he ahurricd to the spot, Finding a number of+ dead bodies in the vicinity of the burst boiler, and injured persons running in all direc- tions, bé sent for assistance to the station house in 126th street. As soon as it was possible Captain Bennet despatched all of the available force at his command to the spot, and Were removed $0 _ Staile, n eXamination was Tred ake ee ese of the accident, and every one who appeared to know or have seen anything of the matter was From t could be ee nM pe Tui ai Procitarh rel ‘It ap that the water in the boiler had been allowed to fun down Fray low, and the man in guarge of it finding this ut suddeniy turned on cold water and ont the explosion took placé. Bevéral of the men working om and around the machine fed at the fierce murmuring of the struggling steam, but five of the number were killed. Pieces of the tube and sides of the,boller were flung in all directions and made terrible and fatat havoc. One of these stray projectiles was thrown towards 127th street and struck a youn, lady, Miss Louisa Bassford, of No. 51 East 126t! street, killing her. She fell on the sidewalk where she stood as the blow came, but the upper nalf of the skull was carried some ten feet distant. It was supposed, but not aiuirg 4 ascer- tainéd, that the part of the botier that hit Miss Bassford was a sharp, thin piece of the cover, as her head was literally CUT IN Two. Beside her when she tell were found some small packages she was carrying when death met her. She had been to a physician’s lower down the ave- nue, and Was on her way to @ drug store on the corner of the Hgek pay, Tone a which the boiler stood. severed high of the head held on by bandages, was convere to jhe station jouse with the others, and was afterwards taken charge of by relatives.gA Tittle~sgaltan irl, Irene Befati, of 74 Thompson Street, Wud Wi Gu RATS across the bridge at 126th street, Killed about midway in her passage over the avenuéj pnd a schoolboy, liam Buitt, ten years of age, of Fourth ayenue and 133d street, met death in the same place. It wi intimated last night by the persons most coi versant with the working of the hoisting appara- tas andthe boiler that thefe were about ety pounds ot steam in the botier when it exploded. some of these people pretended the explosion could not have been caused by the pouring. in of cold water at the time, and that it was produced by an entirely different cause. Others insisted that it was due entirely to the carelessness of the man in charge, who, they said, did not understand his business and who threw in the cold water when he should not. The man had charge of two boilers—this one that burst and another several blocks above on the game avenue. That he was incompetent for the position he held is proven by the fact that he applied recently tor a certificate as engineer and was refused one. Whether the blame of his holding such power over lie 1s to be attached to him or those who employed remains yet to be decided. One theory started on the sight ot the calamity was that the moving of the ap- paratus stirred up the boiling water inside, fling- ing the steam against the head of the vessel with Wi apd pee GN gtreets. Lae ff aim Nae ogi cence “an favenae nt wound taht) 16 We “®. Frith; ag such violence that it tore its way through, This, however, though probable, could scarcely have been the case, or it must have occurred on previous occasions, for the machine has been moved along the avenue daily for weeks past and no accident was experienced before, The whole apparatus, boiler and hoisting machine, stood on 4 wooden b pial eWhich was supported by heavy broad banded wheels. It was used in taking earth from the sunken railroad track in course of construction and depositing it on the bank made by the men as they moved up the avenue. The track ison the east side of the street lying between the blocks of houses, and the newly made roadway on which the apparatus rested is on the west. The Cutting in which the track is to be laid takes up a good third of this space and as nearly as could be judged in the darkness last evening THE BOILER STOOD about midway between the gutters. Gas pipesjhave been put down on the other side of the avenue trom the railroad cutting, and it was to fill in the pipe beds and equalize the suriace of the avenue the earth was taken from the track, Buckets were used for this purpose, and they were attached to and iiited out o the entti vy strong rope which was wound round the crank of the hoisting machine. When suficient filling in materiai for the immediate spot on which they worked had been drawn up and scattered by the men they moved the apparatus a iittie further north. Of course as much of the embankment as could be conveniently made was filled ahead of the mu- chine, This was necessary, not only as a founda- tion for the machine, but as a working ground forthe men, Whether the hoisting of the earth and the moving north of the machine were both going on when the explosion took place could not be learned last night, but if such was the case the operation was an exceedingly dan- gerous one and one that should have ‘been con- ducted with the greatest caution. .This would sug- gest itself to the dullest mind when it is taken Into consideration that on the narrow strip of land on the other (eastern) side of the railroad cutting trains are constantly passing and the danger to life in this locality may be easily esti- mated, The trains on the one side run along close up to the side walk. Yawning beside the track in use is the cutting for the new railroad bed, the remaining space leit on the west, even half of the road, 1s cut % into gas pipe} excavations, and all this is leit entirely unprotected for man, woman, child and beast to walk into aud'be killed. 1t seems hes nog. that the Board of Health has never been able to detect this awiul death pit, and have not caused the avenue to be boarded in when all this work is going o: An appalling number of lives and limbs are sac ficed every year by the trains alone, and what chances are not left open for additional destruction by the unprotected pits that gape in darkness when tile trains have pai . An hour orso alter the mangled bodies leit by the explosion were removed. Last night a man Was severely and probabiy fatally injured by the Boston express. All this would seem to cry f out for carefulness and attention; but there they stand, in the midst of a populous wing of the city; and when a terrible calamity, like this boiler explosion, takes place peopie wring their hands, but there is nobody to blame. Every human life is valuable, and the poorér the man the greater the loss; but it is doubly painful to see a young and happy life suddeniy cut short in the height of its joyousness. Here was a young lady, the only child of wealthy parents, tripping merrily along the sidewalk yesterday ernoon, cat down within twenty ces Of = the drug store that was her lestination, and last night ber heart-broken parents and relatives were weeping over her mangied corpse in the luxurious Rome she left in the morning, strong in the faith and security of life. One of the most dis- tressing scemes the casual tourist through the world could meet upon his road was the autliction of the poor Italian father in the station house. He had no wealthy, sensitive, attentive friends to break the sad news of his little daught death gently to him and ward the blow in some measur by their sympathy. Strangers almost savagely rushed into his room and shouted in his ears, ‘OUR DAUGHTER'S KILLED." It almost drove the poor old fellow crazy. He beat his breast and jell upon the floor in paroxisms of agony. They tried to lead him to where the body was resting, but he would not look atit, He could not. He called her name in every tone the aman voice Len ard of, but his frame shook at the thought of looking on her blood, Scarcely less bitter, though not so demonstrative, was the grief of those to whom the school child belonged, and when one remembers how remote these three were [rom any connection with the cause of their sudden taking off, the carelessness that killed them is nothing, if nothing criminal, no matier Whose the door at which it is laid. Hundreds of children like these are daily walking, nb and playing m the neigh- borhood where this ¢xplosion occurred, and it is to be hoped, now that a fearful lesson has been taught the authorities, some protection will be ex- tended to them for the iuture.
