WASHINGTON-, July 16, 1S65.-On the publication of the statement in the Tribune n few days ago, that the Sec? retary of War bad interfered'with the attendance of Mrs. Stirrat t's spiritual I adviser, the New Yorkt-Time* and an i obscure Philadelphia journal tonk oc > casioh, without any knowledge of ?ICU,' to denounce it as a malicious j fabrication. The subjoined statement ! was obtained from the very best au thor i ty, and neither the Times or thc Secretary of War dare dery it. OM Thursday morning, the Gili in.st., the Rev. Father Walter, pastor of St. Patrick's Chnrch/in thi?> city, went to the War Office to ask for a pass to visit Mrs. S'irratt, ignorant of the fact that sho had already been condemned fortifier death cn the following day. He had never previously visited M's. S., m;r diJ he know- her except by re? putation. Ou application, he was informed by Gen. Hardie, A. A. G. to Secretary Stanton, that he could tint give bini a pass without first consult? ing Mr. Stanton, who "was out at the time. Father Walter returned homo, and at I o'clock p. m. on the same day received a pass to visit the prison, signed, by order of the Secretary ol War, Gen. Hardie, A. A. tv. The messenger who brought the pass to Father Walter, being tm in? telligent Irishman. Father W. entered into conversation with him on the subject of the execution, fiinilv assert? ing his belief in Mrs. Surralt's. inno? cence. In half or perhaps au hour afterward, (.Jen: Hardie himself called at the' residence of Father Waller, ami after some irrelevant conversation, said: ''Father Walter, you made quite an impression on the'mind of my mes senger in regard to th" execution ol Mrs. S irran,' tn which Father W. rc mai ked that be was firmly impressed wi.th ber . entire i:inocet*ne. Gen. HaVdie then said: 'Father Walter, the pass you have will not admit yon to the military prison to-morrow, because it is no*, signed by the Secretary of War. I want you to make me a promise to say nothing of Mrs. "Sur ratt's innocent!*, and-1 will give yon the necessary pass.' Father Walter, naturally indignant immediately refused lo accede to Gen, I L's demand, giving him to under? stand, in th?: plainest, kind of language, thdt no official, civil or military, eoulJ enforce hts silence on this point; ?nd remarking that ho- knew under whose authority he ((jen. II.) .was acting Gen. Hardie-a converted Catliolkt by-ti?e-way-then said, patronizingly that as yet there were no charge: lodged*against bini, Father W?., at tin War Department; to which the lat#. i rejoined that he might tell hts master Stanton, that lie conscientiously be lieved Mrs. Snrratt guiltless; (hat In should proclaim bis be'ief, and thu the War Department might bang bin if it thought proper. Gen. Hardie was about to go willi out giving Father W*. the pass, whet the latter said: 'Gen. Hardie I cunno stiffer Mrs. Surratt to die without ad ministering the sacrament; 1 sav ye to your pr?position; give me the na** Gen. Hardie then drew from hi pocket a pass duly filled up and signet by "Edwin M. S'anton, admitting him Father Vi7"., to the prison until alte the execution. Previous to 'the removal of Mr^ Sui rait from the Carroll to the Milit?t Prison, Father \V. had made applica lion to the War Office for a pass l visit her, sho being very ill, but i every instance his applications wer denied, and up to thc veiy day bi-foi the execution Mr9.
