Wasutnotos, May 14, 1865 Great indignation hee been felt by all classes of DPeorle Lere, that the Government deemed it neces. Ber; to conduct the trial of the assassination conspir tors in secreay. [have already noticed some of the Prisoners. @xpressious indulged in by many io recard to th Bria), avd though the majority of our people are ani- ®atet undoubtedly with the purpose of taining the jovernment in necessary niewsures, the couvice Clon ie forced upon ua that a ret trial of the prisoners is not neceseary, and should Bot be wequiesced in without a protest. Perhaps no Petter iliuetration of the force of popular sentiment On thie country, hasever been presented, than that Which i afforded us by opening the doors of the Court to the reporters of the press It is a cen- @ession tothe populer pressure, by which the ends of Justice are aswell eubseerved, as the course first fi pted by the Court. All testimony that it l¥ nec- @erary to euyprese can etill be suppressed, without excluding thore to whem the people look for informa.

Ihave already given you an Idea of the appearance of thy Court-room, If you will imagine yourself in my company tor an hour, I will now introduce yuu to the «aine room, while the trial ie going on, #0 that you may know how it appears now that the Court is in session and the prisoners are preaont.
