Our Editorial Lcltcr.
WASHINGTON, MAY 20th.
The great event of this week is the trial
of the conspirators. The popular mind and
the newspapers are filled with voluminous
daily reports. I have spent but one day in
the court, but this day’s experience convin-
ced me of the guiltiness of the prisoners,
not so much as of the overshadowing guilt of.
some master minds behind them. With the
exception of Payne, the whole set are the
most wretched and insignificant looking
body of men I ever saw, even in a prisoners
docket. Arnold sits first in line. He it was
who professes to have left the conspiracy at
the moment he discovered that the life of
the President, instead of his body, was to be
taken. He looks like a simple mind, less
than an ordinary intelligent laborer or farm
hand. Dr. Mudd has a fine head, but a bad
.eye and face and evidently feels the full sig.
nificance of his complicity in the act to con-
ceal _ and cover Booth’s retreat. Next sits
the carpenter at Ford's Theatre, a most woe.-
begone, ignorant looking creature, who exf”
cites mingled pity and disgust. Then we]
have O’Laughliu, who was to have killed
Secretary Stanton, a villainous, low fore-
headed looking man of slight frame and
generally wicked look. l‘hen we have ‘the
German Atzerot, who was to have assassina-
ted the Vice President, a meaner and viler
looking wretch than any other in the line.
His head low and flat. His eyes small and
whole physioguimy mean, rather than wick.
ed. '
. Then comes the “heroic" face of them-
significant line of heads—Payne. In all re-
spects this is the most remarkable looking
man I ever beheld._ Were I- to meet him
among a multitude , I _ should not forget ~his
face in ten years. He is tall, splendidly de?
veloped, his neck rising with full muscle as
gracefully as a Doric column, surmounted
by a finely moulded head—a rich profusion
of‘ black hair—a smooth, almost. woman’s
face, great sweeping eyes that roll in their
sockets and flash beneath a dropping tuft of
his jetty hair, down the centre of. his fore-
head, like great orbs Of light, piercing
through all they rest upon. There is a must
wonderful and indescribable fascination: or
magnetism about this man which affects
every beholder. Payne cannot be described,
he has to be seen, and when seen, can never
be forgotten. The Almighty has stamped his
countenance with an impress most remarka-
ble, and never to be mistaken. This seems
as specially providential as many other facts
and occurrences connected with this nefa-
rious plot. His conviction rests entirely and
solely upon his identification and no one who
had ever seen his large swooping, piercing
eyes could ever mistake them. Yesterday
Mr. Seward’s colOred lad was called to iden-
ti fy him, and when asked by J udgc Holt if he -
was sure that was the man who came to Mr.
Seward’s, “ Yes sali, I’se sure I knows him."
At this Payne let slip an involuntary smile,
Which the quick sagacity of the African En-
stantly caught and recognizing, he rcjoincd,
“You see he knows me too." This mutual
recognition, made a most decided impres-
sion upon the court.
After Payne, comes the simpering, silly-boy
Harrold. He smiles and looks as idiotic as
any imbecile could look. NO one who sees
his face can ever feel like holding him en-
tirely responsible fBr his connection with
the plot. Last in line is the most unfortu-
natc Mrs. Surratt. She raised her vcil once
only, for recognition. Her mein was defiant,
she immediately put her hands to her face,
of Treason—and such the most deplorable
fate it has shed upon this widowed woman of
fifty years and mother of a family. Herself
implicated beyond the possibility of escape,
her son doomed to extradition and death.
Piteable, indeed is the condition of this wo-
man. '
The evidence will doubtless be all taken,
and the caseplosed by the last of next week.
Our next excitement is the grand review
of two hundred and fifty thousand WAR-WORN
HEROES from the battle-fields of the Repub-
lic! What a sublime spectacle will be their
martial tread through the Nation’s Capital.
Peace on their banners, hope in their eyes,
and home in their hearts! Where shall we
find a parallel, to this our own, God-blessed
land and country.

W The Union Manufacturing Company
have lately put up a new force Pump, for
protection against fire. It is now arranged
. for throwing half a dOzen streams at one
time, and is worked by either the water
wheel or steam engine, or both combined.
On Wednesday last, Phoenix Hose CompaQ
‘ny went up there with their Hose and a
trial of the Pump was made in presence of
Chief-Engineer Asa Smith, and other specta-
tors. Four large streams were played at
one time, and the trial, though by no means
a test of the powers of the Pump, was very
satisfactory indeed. Why 'cannot our Bor-
ough authorities make an arrangement with
the Company to run pipes to the Bridge,
and put up hydrants in various parts of the
business portion Of the Borough ? In case
of large fires here, we need the water as
much as the force, and this arrangement
would be really more efficient than a 'dozen
hand Fire Engines. Will our authorities
consider the matter?

scribers” Henry Lyon and B. J. Jarvis, at
length ; it expresses hostility to the proposed
amendment, because negroes are not students
of arts, and have not exhibited the various
charms of society ; are not capable of‘ com-
peting with white civilization, etc; because
there is a decision of the supreme court of
State that the negro is not a citizen, and
also a decision of the supreme court of the
the United States to the same effect; these
opinions not being expressed out of any hos-
tility to the negro, but because he is not ca'
pable of self-government.
Both reports were ordered printed, and

W Liberty is one of the dearest blessings which
our forefathers have handed down to us. It was
purchased by the blood of many a valiant revolution-
ary hero; has been guarded by a Washington a J ef-
fersoniah, a Clay, and a _ Webster. But dearer still
to the hearts of the people is that world-renowned
remedy, known as Coe’s Cough Balsam. It cures
like magic the most violent attacks of croup, and is
indispensable in'every family of children. Colds,
sudden coughs, sore throat, hoarseness, and inflamed
lungs, are instantly and surely cured by its timely
use. NO cough mixture has ever been known that
equals it, which accounts for its great popularity
with all classes. The young and old—tho rich and
poor—physicians,druggist—and all who have ever
tested it speak in the liislicst terms of its merits.
We say to our readers-buy it and tryit. It costs
but 40 cents tlicbottle, contains twice as much med.

PLANTATION BITTERS.
which are now rcccommcndcd by the highest medi-
cal authorities, and warranted to produce an Imme-
diate boniilcial cfl‘cct. They are exceedingly agree-
able, perfectly pure, and ruporccdc all other tonics
where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required.
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy appetite. _
They are an antidote to change of water and diet.
They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours
They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.
They prevent miasiiiiitic and intermittent fcvcrs.
They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure D‘iiiri'liuau, and Cholera Morbiis.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache
They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,
and are exhausted nature‘s great restorcr. They
are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, win-
tcrgrecn, asssafras, roots and herbs, all'prcservcd in
pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars
and testimonials around each bottle.
Beware of impostcrs. Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp unmutilatcd
over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig-
nature Oii a fine steel plate side label. See that our ‘
bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an imposter. Any

material therein, whether called Plantation- Bitters
or not, is a criminal under the U. S. Law, and will

succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from in.-

their worth and superiority. They are sold by all

Notes of all the denominations named will
be promptly furnished upon receipt of sub-
scriptions.
The Notes of this 'l'hi'rd series are precise-
ly similar in form and privileges to the Sev-
cn-Thirtics already sold, except that the Gov-
ernment reserves to itself the option of pay-
ing intcrestin gold coin at 6 per cent., instead
of 7.3-101hs in currency. Subscribers will do-
duct the interest in currency up to July 15th,
at the time when they subscribe.
The delivery Of the notes of this third se-
rics of the Seven-thirties will commence on
the 1st of June, and will be made promptly
and continuously after that date.
The slight change made in the conditions
of this THIRD SERIES affects only the
mafia Ofintercsl. The payment in gold, if
made, will be equivalent to the currency in-
terest of the higher rate.
The return to specie payments, in ' the
event ofwhich only will the option to pay
interest in Gold be availed of, would so re-
duce and equalize prices that purchases made
with six per cent. in gold would be fully
equal to those made with seven and three- ,
tenths per cent. in currency. This is
