August 10,?It is stated that tho Cabinot
has^ agreedthat the;Pra?idcnt.can remove Stan
ton under .the first, and suspond him under the
second section of tho Tenure of Office bill.
At ono o'clock Surratt was brought into tho
'' court room and assigned the scat occupied by
him during the trial,.besido his counsel. ITu
came into court smiling, and seemed in good
spirits, as he chatted with his counsel. Mcrriok
made an allusion to the roport that an attoinpt
would bo made at rosouoj whereat the prisoner
seemed much amused.
At five minutes past ono o'clock Judge.Fish
' cr resumed his seat upon tho bench. The crier i
called t^e .oOjUrt. to order. Marshnl Phillips
was;dircatedftp bring the jury down. By this
time the room was much crowded. The jury
was brought in at eight minutes past ouc, and
by direction of Judge Fisher the names of the
jurors were culled. Tho clerk, addressing the
jury, said:
Gentlemen of the Jury?Have you agreed
.upon a verdict ?
Todd?rWo have not been able to agree.
Judge Fisher?I havo received the following
letter from tho jury :
To Hon. Gco. P. Fisher? Sin?Tho jury in
the case of the United States vs. John If. Sur
ratt most respectfully state that they stand pre
cisely now as when they first ballottcd upon
entering the room-r-ncaily equally divided, and
they aro firmly convinced that they cannot
possibly make a verdict. We doom it our duty
to tho court, to the country, and in view of the
fact that tho health of several of our members
is becoming seriously impaired under the pro
tracted confinement, to make this statement,
and to'ask your Honour to dismiss us at once.
Most respectfully submitted: W. B. Todd,
Robert Ball, J. R. Barr, Thomas Berry,
George A. Bohrer, O. G. Schneider, Jnmcs Y.
Davis, Columbus Alexander, William McLean,
Benjamin F. Morsell, B. E. Gottings, W. W.
Birth.
After tho letter was read, Judge Fisher
asked if anything was to be said on cither side
why tho jury was not to be discharged ?
Mr. Bradley said the prisoner did not con
sent, and if there was any discharge it would
be against the protest of the prisoner.
Mr. Carrington said he would leave the
whole matter with the court.
Judgd Fisher said he had already received
two'or three no* es of a similar charactor to the
one road; if there was any possibility of the
jury agreeing, ho would not object to keeping
them for a reasonable time, but as he was in
formed they could not possibly agree, he would
discharge them.
jury was accordingly discharged at ten
minutes past one o'clock. The jury then left
the court room. Judge Fisher then immedi
ately read the following:
I have now'a very unpleasant duty to dis
charge, but ono which I cannot forego. On
the second day of July last, during the pro
gress of the trial of John H. Surratt, for the
murder of Abraham Lincoln, immediately af
ter the court had taken a recess until tho fol
lowing morniug, as the presiding justice was
descending from the bench, Joseph K.'Brad
' ley, Esq., accosted him in a rude and insulting
manner, charging the Judge With' having
offored. him (Mr. Bradley) a series of insults
from thn'bench, from the commencement of the
trial. ' The Judge disclaimed any intention
whatever Of passing any insult, and assured
Mr. B. that ho entertained for him no other
toolings but these of respect. Mr. Bradley, so
far from accepting this explanation or dis
claimer', thoj-oupon threatened the Judge with
'personal chastisement, as he understood. No
court can. administer justice or live if its Judges j
are to be threatened with personal violence oh
all occasions, whenever tho council may be ex
cited by au imaginary iusult. ' Tlio offence of |
Mr. Bradley- is one which even his years will
not palliate?it cannot be overlooked nor go
unpunished; as a contempt of court it is,
therefore, ordered that his name be stricken
from' tho roll of attorneys practicing in this
court.
Mr. Bradloy immediately rose to his feet
and asked if tho court had adjourned.
Judgo "Fisher?It has not, sir.
Mr. Bradley?Thon, sir, in the presence of ]
the court arid this assembly, I hereby pro
nounce the statemeut just made by tho Judge
as utterly falso in oveiy particular.
Judge Fisher, interrupting?Crier, adjourn
the'court.
Mullory, the crier?This court is now ad
journed.
Mr. Bradley?Woll, then, I will say now ?
Judgo Fisher, rising to leave the bcuch?
You can riay what you please, and make a
speech to tho crowdi If you like.
Mr. Bradley?You havo no authority to dis
miss mo from the bar; that niust bo t)i(? apt of
three of the Judges of tho Supreme Court..
Judgo Fisher made a reply jf/hich was in
audible to o?r repxtt-fejr, and tliew deft the room,
followed by a large ierow.d of person*.. J im
mediately after leaving t&o court room, Ffebcr
proceeded to the street and entered a ear. He
Was followed olosely by Bradley, who entere?!
a car, and, stepping up to Fisher, haiulod hiiu
a note. Fishor took tho note, rose to his foot,
opened it and ,bogan to road it, and Mr. Brad
loy turned anl ieft' tlio oar, around vrhioh_ an
excited crowd had gathorecV i I '
: It is undorsiood that the' 'tote was a ' chal
lenge. Sovoral pplioo sprang into, tho car, and
Oflicor McKinncy slipped to tho side of Mr. )B.
and remained in that position while he remain
ed in tho car. Loaving the car, Bradley pas
sed through the crowd and entered his office,
and was followed by .several friends belonging
to tho bar. A largo crowd immediately gather
ed on the corner in front of his office; after re
maining iu bis office a few moments, Bradley
came arm in arm with his brother, Charles
Bradley, Esq., of tho National Bank of the
Republic, and proceeded down Louisiana Av
enue, followed by a crowd of friends and cu
rious persons, who excitedly discussed tho pro
ceedings which had just transpired. In the
meantime Bisher resumed his seat iu the ear
?and continued his perusal of the note. When
tho car moved off a number of his personal
friends had entered the car, and a great deal
of apprehension was manifested of a person cn
couutor between the Judge and tho deposed
lawyer.^
A movement is on foot to indict Bradley for
sending Judge Fisher a challenge, but it ap
'prars Bradley simply accepted Fisher's, verbal
challenge offered during the dlficulty which
led to Bradley's debasement; The dilemma is,
if Bradley is punishable for accepting, Fisher
is liable for sending. The penalty is fine and
imprisonment for five years. Tho interest in ]
tho Surrat trial yields to tho Fisher and Brad
ley quarrel. The jurors for conviction wore
Tood, Snyder, MoLcnn and Barr.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 17,1867.
While ice reserve, to ourselves the. right of def
iling' our dich political position by means of our
editorial columns, ice will he pleased to publish
contributions from- our fellow-citizens up t the
grave quest ions which now agitate the public
mind, whether their opinions coincide icith ours
or not. A district newspaper, we consider,
sluudd be an index of the various shades of pop ?
ular sentiment in the sreiion of country in which
it circulates! Our columns are open, therefore,
for any communications properly written, accom
panied by a responsible name, not personal in
their character, nor absolutely injurious in their
tendency.
Can We look Ahead I
There is no safe guido fbr our future course,
in the lessons of American liberty. We are
not reproducing any portion of our past, but
arc bving'-Srive'n into au cntiroly new orbit of
action, in which the teachings of experience
avail us little. Let us speculate briefly upon
the probable results; for in this emergency,
speculation must take the place of argument.
Tho Reconstruction scheme of Congress is
now being put into practical operation. Reg
istration is going on, and all classes arc inter
ested iu it. To the recently enfranchised frecd
man, it seems the harbinger of a grand millen
nium, of some kind or other, vaguely but gor
geously displayed to his i 1 nag in at ion. To the
subjugated whito eitizen, it is a system which
threatens him with practical exclusion from
the concerns of government, and is therefore
odious. But with this matter of likes and
dislikes we have nothing now to do. We can
not effectually resist Congressional dictation :
it behooves us, therefore, to sec what wo can ac
complish undor its complications. We take it
for granted, in the first place, that every whito
citizen will register, who is allowed to do so.
On this point, we know of no difference of
opinion :?all' parties agree upon the necessi
ty of this. t And now, we will suppose that the
lirat of Octobor is como j the lists are complete,
and tliero is a roll of voters, comprising a ma
jority of frcedinon, and at the same time, a
very' strong body of white citizens. Tho ques
tion then arises, what is the true policy for the
latter class in this event? Snail we vote "For
a Convention," or "Against a Convention" ?
We unhesitatingly recommend tho former,
i Why 1 First; because there is no means in our
power to prevent a Convention ; and thererorc
our policy is to try and have a fair showing in
iits organization! Many a well-disposed frccd
man will vote for a ticket of practical planters,
upright and good citizens who aro acceptable
to both white and colored votera, provided the
point of Convention is conceded: but, if we
say to the same freed man "vote against a Con
vention," we drive him at once to tho Radi
cals, and deprive ourselves of the only chance
we have of being properly represented in the
most important body of lawmakers, that will
over sit in South Carolina. Shall we be so
blind to the requirements of the times, ns to
throw away our only hopo of preserving the
few rights we have remaining to ub? Imagine
a Convention completely Radical;?do we not
know they will adopt some measure virtually
as bad ns confiscation. They are pledged to
the division of lands in their platform; and
they only nwuit the time when they have the
power jto accomplish their ends. We can now
perceive only the cloyon hoof behind a screen
of fair words ; but let the sway of Radicalism
be complete, ami we will see the full ?ronor
tious of the devil, even to his boms. The only
way to defeat the fiend is to meet the crisis
manfully, eudcavor to put forth a ticket of
dologatcs acceptable to tho well-disposed frced
mcn, and at tho sarao tiujo to tho white citizcus
of tho District^-and then say to tho frecdmcn
that wo are willing to. vote with them for a
Convention, provided they will vote for men
whom thoy, as well as wc, can trust with their
interests.
But there is another reason why wc should
bo in favor of a Convention. Suppose the
white voters were able to carry the State, and
that wo successfully opposed a Convention,?
what then? Would not Congress increase the
number of disfranchised, so as to give the
freedmcn the majority?* Would thoy not pass
Thad. Stevens' Confiscation Bill, ns a punish
ment to the obstinacy of the South. Lot us
remember that they have no right to do this.
?UT TIIKY IIAVK TIIK POWER! Therefore,
it is better for ourselves, that there should be
si Convention; and it is our true policy to vote
for it, even on this ground, to avert further
severity ou the part of Congress.
? There is no dishonor in this course. It is
yielding to a stern necessity. It is doing once
more what we did, when wc furled our con
quered banner, and took the Oath of Alle- j
giancc to a hateful couqucror. Let us ac
knowledge our fate now, as we did then, not
for our own sakes, but on account of our wives
and children, and the dear, helpless ones
round us. We cannot gain anything by strug
gling up stream in our frail boat against tho
rapid and impetuous current; but if wc go,|
.With it in its course, we may bo able to steer
our way to avoid tho rocks, and perchance ar
rive at a safe harbor.
The Orniigoburg News.
The present issue completes six months of |
our career. In the midst of trials and difficul
ties we have met with a degree of success,
which is eminently encouraging. For it. our
patrons have our thanks ; and we will endeav
or ever to contribute to their entertainment
and information, as they have contributed to
our support.
Wc ask but one thing more of the people of]
Orange.burg District. There arc many in
every portion of tho District, whose pens can
be profitably employed on subjects of interest
to us nil, literary, agricultural, political or lo
cal. Whenever anything of importance hap
pens iu their neighborhoods, lot them share
ttc intelligence with their friends iii other scT""
tionf, by means of the, District papers. Let
them give their views on the topics of the day
through our columns, which aic open for their
communications. Let them assist iu the great
work of raising the intellectual standard of our
people. It will be the means of infusing more
life and vigor into our community; and the\
will have the satisfaction of being truly bene
factors of the public. The pen is mighty.
Our Charleston Letter.
Ciiaui.kston, August, 14, LSi?7.
At length the preliminaries to tho submit
ting of the Congressional Reconstruction Ke
gime to the popular vote have been practically
inaugurated, and tho Vitt Sacra (?) to the
ballot-box has been opened to the nowly
franchiscd, and to those of the old suffragan*
who arc not excluded thorefrom, by reason of
their political or military antecedents. Regis
tration commenced on Monday at the several
precincts in our city, and the different Boards
have since been industriously and continuously
occupied, iu enrolling the names id'these whose
privilege it will be to participate in the ensu
ing elections. Thus far there Iikk boon con
siderable disparity between the number of]
whites and colored registered; the latter large
ly predominating. It is thought probnble,
however, by many who are qualified to judge,
that the disproportion will only be temporary.
The frcedmon all seem anxious to have their
names enrolled at once, and crowd around the
several precincts in uncomfortable proximity
to each other; most of the whites therefore
arc holding aloof until they can, without te
dious waiting, gain access to the Registrars.
I stated several weeks ago, that I thought
that comparatively few of our people would
avail themselves of the privilege proffered them
of renewing their suffrage rights. Since then
there has been considerable change iu opinions
and intentions, and it is now very probable
j that most of those who can, will at least rcgis
I tor. Thoir subsequent action is too uncertain
even to admit of a reasonable speculat ion, and
I will therefore not hazard an opinion. I ap
pend the returns thus far published; for Mon
day, Tuesday nud Wednesday :
Whites.103.
Colored. 1307.
Total.1890
Majority of Colored. 901.
The question was raised yesterday as to the
eligibility of Notaries Public and .Militia O Hi -
.errs, ami the llegistrars nd'erred ipo, matter io
tho commanding General for decision. His
I reply furnished tho Board to-day, affirms their
eligibility; and thus tho doubts of many, who
before tho war hold such positions, of their abili
ty to take the required oath, arc entirely dissi
pated.
Messrs. Daly and Rudcliffe of Columbia,
who a few weeks ago, assaulted Armstrong
and Thompson, attaches of the Republi
can Convention, were last week brought be
fore a Military Convention; they pleaded guil
ty to the charges and specifications framed
against them, and were sentenced to six
mouths imprisonment. General Sickles has
approved the sentence, and designated Fort
Macon, in Wilmington harbor, as the place for
their incarceration. Comment is unnecessary.
Jennings, arrested last month on the charge of
complicity with the "Regulators," alias "Dead
Heads," was brought before the Commission
heavily ironod. His trial has, however, been
postponed. If convicted, he too will be mndc
to understand and realizo how much of irony
there is in the paradox "military clemency."
The Board of Trado having addressed Genl.
Sickles, protesting against portions of Orders
Nos. 10 and 32, and urging their abrogation,
he to-day responded. His reply is quite
lengthy, and the first position taken by him, is
that the Southern States arc conquered terri
tory, and had better acquiesce in present evils,
or something worse will come next.
The Hibernian Society held a meeting on
Tuesday night last for the purpose of discus
sing the expediency of onlarging their fine
Hall on Meeting Street, so as to render it suit
able for theatrical entertainments. The result
is that the Hall is to be enlarged by an addi
tion of twenty feet in length, and is to be fitted
up aud arranged with a fino stage, scenery,
dressing rooms, fcc, and all the appliances of
a first class theatre. So Charleston will be in
debted to this energetic Society for a fine
source of amusement next winter.

TO TIIK
People of the South, j
-:o:
As Corresponding Secretary of the Petersburg
Memorial Association, it becomes my duty to seek
your aid in a cause which is so sacred, so prcciouB,
that we wou]d do and suffer nil things for its success
ful prosecution ; but circumstnnceB deny us what
would be equally the pride and joy of our hearts to
perform. Vic, therefore, come to you, oppressed
with the magnitude of the work, asking your sym
pathy and co-operation. And what is the cause for
which wo plead! "Is it that wo should ?ay, come
with us to crown with laurel, and celebrate in song,
tho victors of a righteous, noble struggle, to rejoice
with them that the conflict ended, the warfare ac
complished, they return with shouts of victory and
glad hosannas to their happy homes, their long for
saken altars, their expectant and exulting loved
ones?" not this, not this, oh God ! our hearts are in
the dust, our laurels withered, our homes desolated,
and our warriors return no more! "Thoy have
fought their last battle, they sloop their last sleep,''
and it is on their graves we place the roses of our
grateful affection, and the immortelles of our undy
ing remembrance. All nlong the lines of this long
beleagurcd city can be found the little hillock which
::;*.rV. * a hero's gravo -, while in distant homesteads,
In every Southern State, Weeping mothers mourn
these loved ones, absent from their firesides, absent
from the consecrated cemeteries of their fathers!
Shall these 7,000 graves be neglected nnd uncared
for ? shall they be trampled into nothingness by the
very beasts of the field, and be ploughed into the
soil which thoy died to defend? Forbid it, ye
mothers, ye sires, ye maidens, of the South; for
bid it, ye comrades, who battled at their sides; for
bid it, ye legislators, who are jealous for the honor
and integrity of your Commonwealth; forbid it,
oh! God, Thou God of the fatherless, the widow,
and the friendless!
Wo as an Association, offer you the pittance which
the ravages and desolations of war have loft us; we
offer you the willing labor of our hands, and that
of our noble young men who have toiled with ns;
we offer you a spot made ours hy the patriotic
generosity of our City Fathers ; and we say to you,
help ns to take these bodies of your noble sons, reve
rently to lay them in honored graves, and to rear
over them a proud monument worthy of our cnu^c
ami their deeds. Is it not fitting that here, wh e
the last blow was struck, where half-clad, stnrvinc
men stood up so heroically amid such scenes of tci
rible carnage, pressed niul finally overwhelmed )\
legions of the foe, the admiration and wonder of the
world, is it not fitting that wc should thus honor
I heir memory, and cxultingly exclaim, "these arc
our sons," proudly committing their names to pos
terity. Our receipts outside do not exceed $;UM);
up to this date all the dead have received equal care:
now wo arc making efforts to rescue from distant
battle-fields the "slain of our city," which draws
largely on our impoverished treasury, and unless
this appeal shall be liberally responded to, the
traces of Father, Husband, Son, must perish from
the earth. Then, shnll we lay them by the side of
our noble sons whom wc arc now gathering from
mountain, hill-side, and valley, send them to slum
ber in their natal soil, or leave them where they
fell? No. no! let us deny ourselves jit hy thing,
everything, rather tnan deny to theso scarred, and
maimed, und toil-worn martyrs, the sweet repose of
