IHE DAILY NEWS. THE Sl'RRATT CASE. THE END OF THE TRIAL-PLEADINGS UNDER THE STATUTE OF T.TMTTATTfVttH-ARGUMENT OF OOUK ABL-FINAL DECISION 07 JUDOS WYLIE-DIS? CHARGE 07 THE A0OT8ED-INTIMATIONS OF AN? OTHER INDICTMENT. - The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun, writing on the 2-1 th instant, gives the following account of the close of the famous Surrait trial, already reported by tellferaph: The curratt case took an unexpected turn to? day, which resulted finally in the discharge of the accused. When the court adjourned yes? terday afternoon, the case seemed to be all against the prisoner, although it waB well un? derstood that Judge Wylie would, in the exer? cise of a m ere ifni j adi cial disci et iou, give the defence an opoitunity to go to trial of the gen? eral issue under a plea of "not guilty," before finally entering judgment that would otherwise have followed the sustaining of the demurrer to tho special plea. But the public evidently expected * final disposition ol the case, and the attendance was therefore larger than it had boen during the week. . When court opened Judge Wylie gaye the counsel for the accused an opportunity to enter a plea of not guilty, and go to tri.il. Mr. Mer? rick, on behalf of the accused, declined tho proffer, and rested the issue upon the demur? rer of the prosecution to the special plea, and plead the statute of limitations. It is a well Bettled legal principle that a demurrer to a plea virtually sets up that the pleadings are all .correct at every stage of tho case. If, there? fore, there is any defect at any stage, though it be at the very commencement of the suit, and such defoe t can be showD, the en tiro pro? ceedings are vitiated. Mr. Merrick, therefore, rested his case upon the 107th section of tho act of April 30th, 1790, which is as follows : V ;*No person or persons shall be prosecuted, ? tried or runished for treason, or other capital ' effenee aforesaid, ( wilful murder or forgery ex . cop ted) j unless the indictment for the same shall be lound by a grand jury within three years next after the treason or capital offence aforesaid shall be done or committed; nor shall -say'person be prosecuted, tried or punished f af any offence not capitol, DOT for any .fine or ' forfeiture under any penal 'statute, unless the 'indictment or information for the same shall bo found or instituted within two years from the time of com mitt int? the offence, or receiv? ing the fine or forfeiture aforesaid; provided ? that nothing herein contained Bhall extend to a Dv person or persons fleeingJrom justice." Thia turn of affairs took tho prosecution completely by surprise, and the proposition ivas fully artruod on both sides, and legal deci? sions wera quoted. , Judge Wylie, m stat lng tho position of the case, said that to the exercise of mercy he had . not sneered final judgment upon the demurrer, -^because In -t hat event there was nothing left to do except to cass sentence on the prisoner. ''This point in relation to the statute of limita? tions, to which the attention of the court had now been called for the first time, was one of ? (Teat ini poi tan co in deciding upon the demur? er. The indictment iii this case contains five . l?verai counts, and tho offences charged there? in aie alleged to have been committed in the inonths of M?rch end April, 1865. To this indictment the accused entered the ron eral plea of not guilty in June, 186*8, and that p'.ea ", remained of record until this adjourned term of the court, when*bhe accused, through his : counsel, asked leave to withdraw the general plea of not guilty, and to enter, as a special Slea, the amnesty proclamation of the P rc si en t. The'cdurt considered that the accused had never before had the opportunity of plead .jug the pardon, and therefore gave permis? sion for tb o withdrawal of one plea md tho Tdutering of another. -The government demur? red to. that plea, and it was overruled be? cause of a substantial defect, and not be? cause of an informality. Now another ground of .objection is presented, that the indictment was found two years after the offences charged had been committed. - -^T^ indictment in chareing the crime makes no averment) that the accused was at any time ifjgitivo from justice. Tbat is fatal to the argument of the prosecution now made, that the accused was a fugitive: unless it is found, as had been also argued, that it was necessary by rule of law to plead the benefit of the statute of lim i tali ms by special plea. ; Judge Wyhe then -proceeded to show that the latter argument was not good, and that it was not necessary to plead the statute by spacial plea. He knew of no court where that position of tho government bad ever been sustained. Ho took it to be settled law that the defendant might! take advantage of that statute by de .: murr er cr any other form. In passing upon a ?nestion of this character, Judge Wylie said ie court must take notice ot the whole record, and it was not now too late for the de.once to take advantage of this statute. He was strengthen 3d in his decision hythe decision of Judge Holt in Gen. Dyer's case. In that case Judge Holt declined to order a committee of inquiry, although it was requested by a party . accused, because the offence was baiTed by this * very-statute of limitations. In this case, as ii now stood, he was deciding upon the whole re cord, and was constrained to say that judgment must be entered for the defendant, and that ends the prosecution. As Boon as the decidion was announced, Dis trict Attorney Carlington rose to address the court, but was interrupted by Mr. Merrick, who asked that the judgment just given be en? tered of record, and that the prisoner- be dis? charged. That order was made, when Surratt was quietly congratulated by friends present, and immediately left the court room in com S?ny with Mr. J. H. Bradley, Jr., while Mr, errick proceeded to gather up bia books and paiiers. ? Mr. Carrington, after consultation with his associate counsel, asked the Judge to certify his decision to- the Supreme Court in bane. Judge Wylie replied that he was not in the habit of certifying his decisions, and reminded '-'Mr, Carrington that he had a right to appeal * and could exercise that right. Mr. Carrington, who seemed to be utterly nonplussed at the turn things had taken, asked ?_ the court to renew Surratt's bail, stating that he would fra mo an indictment which would -meet an objections, by setting fo .-th that Sur? ratt was a fugitive from justice. He said that the court should take this step upon the assur? ance of the prosecutor that another indictment would be framed. Judge Wyhe declined, and replied, snbstan tnXiy, that Mr; Carrineton could have the ac? cuse":! reai-rested by making oath before a ma? gistrate in the proper way. This was bot a special term of court, and no grand jury was in session. When the grand jury met another presentment could be made if it was deemed advisable. The court had no j udicial knowl? edge whether Surratt was absent from the country or not.. So far as the court knew ju? dicially, and so far as it appeared upon tha re? cord as now made up, Surratt might have beeu in this city all the time. The court bas no right to know.any thing of the case except so far as it appaared upon the record. - Mr. Carrington was about to say something further when the judge reminded him that the case had been decided, and he ordered the special term of the court to be adj ou rn < d until the regular term in course, in November next. When Surratt left the court-room he pro? ceeded to Mr. Bradley's office, and after abrief interview with his counsel started for the oour try. Messrs. Carrington an3 Biddle had a con? sultation in the office of the latter, and tho present determination is not to abandon the case thus, but to preseot a new indictment to the next grand jury. Keenly recollecting the r def oat in this instance, they will be more care? ful in preparing an indictment which will bet? ter hold water. But it isa question whether any good can be accomplished by pushing this matter further. This caso has been pending for three years, and the government has boen involved m an expense amounting to hun? dreds of thousands of dollys. The country is now well rid of a troublesome question, and there can be no use of its further agitation. After the defeat of last summer on questions of fact, and a defeat now upon legal and tech? nical questions, and after all tho time required has been allowed for preparation, afurtbei in? dictment and a new arrest and trial .vould ap? pear very mnoh as though a prosecution had boen abandoned and a persecution commenced.

Review of the Savannah. Market. SAVANNAH. September 24. - COTTON-The re? ceipts continue (rood, considerably in excess of what they were st this date last year, lue sudden advance reported In the early part ot last week, we have no doubt, together with the dry weather that has prevailed for some weeks allowing work in the field to be pushed forward rapidly, and' the necessi? ties of manyplantera, all combined to swell the re? ceipts. " . in closing our review last week, middlings were quoted at 23?c. On Friday, In consequence of la? borable advices from Liverpool, there was an ad? vance of ? cent; holders exhibiting firmness at 24c for middlings. There was but little inquiry for other grades. Saturday the market opened quite active, sales being made on a basis of Friday's quo? tations. Monday the favorable news from New York caused an advance of ? to ?c. In the afternoon, b- ver, news was recd ve i of a declin? ot ?d in L verpool, and there was no more inquiry dunn? the day. Tues* day the market opened with a fair demand at a fraction less than the previous days' quotations, lbs receipt ol news ot a further decline m New York and Li vex rx ol caused buyers to withdraw, factors refus? ing to acceed .o the prices offered. Wednesday about 100 bales were sold, middlings being held at23?a24a ro-day there have been but light transactions, a few bales only changing hands at irregular figures. Fac? tors are firm in asking 23?a24c for midd.lngs, and assert thai the sadden dedico is only momentary, and that lt will rule st the same figures prevailing on Monday. Owing to tho great irres ular! ty hi prices, and there being bnt small sales made, we are obliged to omit quotations. . The accounts from the growing crops continue Very gloomy, even worse than at the date of our last report, j. he ravage? of tbe caterpillar have been fear.ul, and th ii p-st of the planter bas recently made Us aopeirance in Middle Goor.if, a'sectlon of country hitherto exempt. Whole plantations have ] been stnppe 1, and many planters who had every prospect of making good crops are now very des? pondent, some going so far as to say that the cater? pillar and boll-worm have lett them nothing worth picking. SRA ISLANDS-The crop of the year Ju=t closed is placed at 20,929 bales, of which Floiida furnished 10,114, Georgi? 6234, and Sooth Carolina 4579 boles. This shows a falling . ff from <he previous year of | 12,389 bales, and all the accounts from the pres ent crop indicate that it will loll short even of j lost year's, bat to what extent cannot yet be esti? mated. Une receipts st this port since the 17 th instant I amount o 5485 hales upland and 7 do sea islands, of | which 4470 w. re received per Central Railroad, 668 per Atlantic and Galt Railroa d 300 from landings on the Savannah River, 47 from Florida, and 7 b des sea Island*!rom Danen. The exports for the same time have been 3266 bries upland, ot which 2934 were shipped to New York and 331 to Philadelphia. PECEIPTS AND EXPORTS. 8. Isl'd. TJpl'd.

PEAKE, April 29 General Superintendent TWIGHT HUNDRED HILES or THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD ARE NOW FINISHED AND TN OPERATION. Although this road is built wiih great rapidity, the work is thoioaghly done, and is pronounced by the United States Commissioners to be fir.'t-class in ev. ry respect, before it ls accepted, and before any bonds can be issued upon it. J apidity and excellence of cons'ruction have been secured by H complete division of labor, and by dis? tributing tbo twenty thousand men employed along the lino tor los.* distances at ence. It ls now prob? able tbat the ' WHOLE LINE TO THE PACIFIC WILL BE COM? PLETED IN 1869. The Company have ampio means of which the gov? ernment grants the right of way, and all necessary timi or and other materials fouud alonu the Une of its operations; al60, 12.800 acres of land to the mile, token in alternate sccti< ns on eaco side of its road; also, Um iel States thirty-yew bonds, amounting to from $10,001) to $48,000 D>T mile, according to the difficulties to be surmounted on the various sections to be built, for which lt ukes a second mortgage as security, and it is expected that not only the inter? est, but the principal amount may be paid in ser? vices rendered by the Company in transporting troops, mails, &c. IHt EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC BAIL ROAD, from its way or local business inly, during tho year ending June 30th, 1868, amounted to over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, which, after paying all expenses was much more han sufficient to pay the iutere-t upon its Bonds. These earnings are no indication of the vast through traine that must follow the opening of the line to the Pacific, but they certainly prove tnat FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS upon such a property, costing nearly three times their i mount, Are Entirely Secure. The Union Pacific Ponds run thirty years, are for - $1000 each, and have coupons attached, they bear annual interest, parable on thu first days of January and July ot the Company's office in the City ol New York, at the rate of i-ix per cent in gold. The prin? cipal ls payable In gold at maturity. Tho price is 102, and at the present rate of gold, they pay a libe? ral income on their cost A very important conrideraUoa in determining the value of thCBe bonds is THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY HAVE IO RUN. It is well known that a long bond a" ways commands a much higher p.Icc than a short one. It is safe to assume that durina the next thirty years, the rate of interest in the United States will dec inc as it hos done in i urope, and we have a right to expect that such six per cent, securities as these will be he'd at as high a premium os ihoso of this government, whicti, in 1857, were bought ia at 20 to 23 per cent, above par. The export demand alone may produce this result, and as tb; is^ue of a p ivate corporation, they are beyond the reach of political action. I he Conipauy believe that their Bonds, at the pre? sent rate, a e tho cheapest security in ihe market, and the right to advance the price at any time is reserved. Suty.c iptio.s will be received in New York at the COMPANY'S OFFICE, No. 20 NASSAU-ST., AND BY JOHN J. CISCO & SON, Bankers, . No. 59 WALL-STREET, And by tile Company's Advertised Agents throughout the United States. ?> SSS" Remittances should be made in drafts or other funds par in Ni w Yo-k, and the Bonds will be sent free of charge by return express. Parties sub? scribing through local agents will look to thom for their safe delivery. ?3- A PAMPHLET AND MAP FOR 1868 has just been published by the Comoany, giving fuller infor? mation than is possible in an advertisement respect? ing the Progress of the Work, tho Resources of the Coun'17 travo^d by the Road, tue Means for Con? struction, and the Value of the Bonus, which will be sent free on application at the Company's OnV.cs, or to any of the advertised Agents.
