Supreme Court to bo Dlaregardcd.
The Now York Time* openly proclaims tho
intentions of tho Republicans to disregard tho
decision of the Supreme Court should it be
against them on the reconstruction hills, and to
go iuto ojicu rohelliou against the law as pro
nounced by that hotly. It suys, in referring to
the movements of Southern Governors to test
the constitutionality of their laws:
Its (South's) pride may be gratified by a legal
assault upon the policy of Congress, but only in
corrigible tools can suppose that policy will be
materially hindered, or on any pendiug question
reversed, by an appeal to the courts. Tho refu
sal of Judge Martin, ot the Superior Court of
Baltimore, to grant the injunction, prayed for by
tlie Maryland Radicals, to prevent the meeting
of the State Convention, proceeds on the hypo-
! thesis that the Convention is a political body of
i which the State Legislature had proper and ex-
i elusive cognizance.
By a parity of reason, and with the precedent
j of the decision in the “Dorr rebellion” caso to
| sustain it, the Supremo Court may not unread-
j onabiy he expected to disclaim jurisdiction in the
| premises. At any rate, the tact is incontestiblo,
' that Congress has absolute mastery over the
subject,- By no appeal to the courts, by no quib
ble of lawyers, by no combinations or effrontery
[ of Southern politicians, can this fact be over-
[ come. A denial of it theoretically will not af-
I feet it practically. And the supremacy of Con-,
[cress will continue, desplto petitions for injunc-
j tions or averments of unconstitutionality. Its
[ power to carry out its will is already assured.—
| Neither the President nor the lawyers can coui-
| pel its admission of Southern representatives, its
I acknowledgment ol State Governments which
I it 1ms decreed provisional, or its abatement of
one iota of the conditions which it has imposed
■ upon the South.
The Two murders tu Bryau Comity.
The Savannah News it Herald, of the 11th,
[lias the following particulars of two horrible
| murders recently committed in Bryan county:
About three weeks ago two horrible murders
I were committed in Bryan county, on the Gulf
J Railroad, between Stations No. 2 and 3, but mv-
I ing to the impenetrable mystery with which both
[cases are shrouded, we are unable to give any in-
I formation regarding the cause ot the dastardly
■nets. The first of tho victims was a gentleman
named Hope, who had been in the county but
kwo or three weeks previous to his death', having
arrived from Florida for the purpose of induciuu
Efreedmen to emigrate to that State. But little
Jwas known of them beyond that lie bore an un-
■caviable reputation, having, it is said, rendered
[himself very obnoxious to the citizens and freed-
I men. He was found dead iu the woods, having
Iboen shot in the abdomen by two charges Irom
|u shut gun.
The other unfortunate victim was a man named
IRiles, well known in Bryan and Mclutosh
I counties. He was murdered about a week pre
vious to Mr. Hope, and but a short distancofrom
I the scene of the murder of the latter. On the
I day ot his death the deceased had sold a wagon
I to a man for the sum of twenty-five dollars, re-
1 reiving in payment tliereior, a check on a well
[known firm in this city. He had the check'
J cashed at a store, spending ten dollars of the
| amount for groceries and retaining the remain-
[ing fifteen dollars, with which lie started home.
[ He was accompanied homeward by a negro
[named Tony Axon, who parted with him when
| about two miles from his place of residence.—
J Nothing was heard ot him lor ttirec days, when
i search was instituted, and his body was found
I in the woods in a state of decomposition and
I badly mutilated by buzzards. The money was
| gone, but the groceries were left. There were
| no signs which indicated that a scuffle had en
sued.
The aflair lias created great excitement in the
[county, as nothing can be learned regarding the
[ murderers. This is evidently one of the results of
J ullowiug negroes to buy nnd carry guns. There
lure but tew negroes in Bryan county who arc
] not the possessors of fire-arms.
The Nashville nnd Chattanooga Itallroad.
The NaBhvtllc Prate and Time* of the 11th
informs us that the steamer Missionary arrived
at Johnsonville on that morning, with the last
of the timber for the Brideport bridge, prepared
I in Chicago, on board. It will be remembered
tlmt the telegraph reported the sinkiug of the
steamer at the wharf iu Cairo, before she was
entirely loaded. She was raised without diffl-
rnlty, and 1ms come up promptly with the last
load of tlie Tennessee bridge timber on board.
The same paper further states that the Nash
ville and Chattanooga Railroad are still refusing
I all freight at Nashville, their depots not yet hav-
| iag been cleared opt of tlie freight accumulated
liming the lime of tlie break. At least eight
| hundred car loads were in store there when
trains commenced running again. The road
hopes to be able to receive freights ODCe more by
[tlie first ot next week.

k CO.,
Surratt’* Prlion I.tic -An Intcreitlnu In
terview.
A correspondent, furnishes both (lie Baltimore
Sun and Philadelphia Ledtjer with an account
of an interview with John II. Surratt. Hu
found him occupying, temporarily, li email
octagon lodge used by the watchman of the
jail. Surratt was sitting reading. Ho rose and
greeted Ids visitor cordially, who thus describee
him :
Hu was dressed in a suit ol dark mixed goods,
cut lu the prevailing fashion of a walking suit,
evidently new. Upon his head he. wore a black
soft felt hat, also new. In stature I should judge
him to be five feet nine or ten iuclies high,
rather slender in form—almost delicate, perhaps
—and apparently twenty-eight years of age.
Ilia hair is a very light auburn, nicely cut and
trimmed, parted behind nnd combed forward.
Ho wears a moustache and goatee, rather more ,, ...
positive in color than tlie liuir on his head. The Groceries anil Provision* ever brought to this market,
rest of his face was carefully shaved. Alto ^ conaleung,t irin . °*—
gether his appearance was that of a well-dressed
and very presentable young man—nnd certainly
the last one that would be selected trom a crowd
as a desperate character or a villain. Ho has a
very pleasant voice, in conversation uses good
language, understands hiniselt perfectly, and
usually wears a smile upon his face.
The writer continues:
I ventured to ask him a leaJing question in
regard to his escape to and concealment in Can
ada, to which, with a smile only, he replied,
"I linvc nothing to say about that;" but he
added, “there was no secrecy about my leaving
Canada, I went on hoard a steamer at midday,
wholly without disguise, and with hundreds of
people on and about tlie \vlmrf. The steamer
had fully two hundred passengers, with whom
I associated witli freely during tlie voyage.—
Nobody recognized me, though there were those
among the passengrs that I recognized.” lie
could not say what steamer this was, nor from
wlrat port it sailed, ihore than it was one of tho
regular lines leaving a large city.
lie spoke of meeting Si. Marie in France. IIo
claims that lie recognized St. Marie first, nnd that
they traveled to Italy together. lie manifests
no vindictiveness toward this witness for having
discovered him to the authorities, hut considers
hiin a “treacherous” fellow, and thinks he was
mistaken in his character. Surratt siys-thnthe
had information ot St. Marie’s treachery before
it was fully accomplished, and was kept advised
from time to time of tlie steps taken to secure
his arrest. Had the actual arrest been delayed
one day longer, as Surratt had reason to expect
it would be, he would have been beyond the
reach of his pursuers, ids arrangements for de
sertion and flight being nearly perfected at tlie
time ol his arrest. He is careful to abstain from
saying what those arrangements were, who were
his accomplices and informers, or where lie was
to find a place of refuge.
Ho has read with great apparent interest tlie
published accounts of his captures aud escapes,
and the official correspondence bearing on those
points, and takes great pleasure in criticising
them. Tlie wonderful leap of tlie precipice in
Italy, of which so much has been said and written,
is a source of great amusement to him. The
bight Irom which he jumped, he describes as
about equal to an ordinary second story window,
or say twelve lect. But he tells a story of de
scending more dangerous declivities than this in
his flight. In one instunce his only available
mode of descent wns to lie on his hack nnd slide
down-n steep and rocky declivity, full a hundred
feet in bight. Of scarcity of food, iguorance of
the country, and consequent danger of recapture I
in exposing hiniselt by asking information by j MANUFACTURERS'
the way, ot the constant alarm and similar sub
jects, lie is free nnd seemingly anxious to talk,
and always in something ot a boastful vein, but
his lips arc sealed in respect to all matters bear
ing iu the remotest degree upon tlie great crime ’
with which his name is associated, and of which
he stands charged.
Surratt's prison hours are passed very comfort
ably. An entire corridor, full thirty feet in
length, and eight in breadth, with three large
cells, are placed entirely at his disposal. In this
corridor ho is excluded from the gaze of the com
mon prisoners and curious visitors, by a common
door or Inner grating, whenever it is not agreea
ble to him to seek tlie open air of the prison
court yard. At night only does lie liavo occasion
to feel the rigors ot confinement, when he is
locked in the central of the three cells, a com
modious apartment at least ten ieet square.—
True, tlie furniture is scant, consisting merely of
a stool and a mattress laid upon tlie stone flour,
though amply provided with coverings.
To while away the sometimes tedious hours of
the day, he is provided with a plentiful assort
ment of books, embracing tlie field of literature
from divine truth to tlie silliest human trash.—
Comforts, even luxuries, for tlie toilet are abun
dant. The cuisine seems to he carefully looked
after by outside friends—no restriction is placed
on tho amount or variety that is sent him.
In tho frequent and protracted visits oi his sis
ter, who calls at least each alternate day and
spends tlie day with him, cheering him by his j
presence and ministering to his comfort, he finds
a constant source of pleasure. True, on these ,
occasions the keeper shares the apartment with
the brother and sister, but the surveillance he ex- |
ercises is merely a matter ot form.

I with something over from last year in the way
nl mules, implements, etc., and with a favorable
enson a flue crop may be expected, although
[he great want of money in the entire cotton-
growing region will tend to diminish the amount
jnade. Again, the bad breaks in the Mississippi
[will do considerable damage, it the reports are
tot exaggerated. The amount of cotton which
vill probably he raised this year, and the amount
hvhieli there is labor enough to pick out, will vary
lonsiderahly; and while the fact of the negro
labor being much reduced should not be over
looked, it ought not to he forgotten how. many
.mall farmers will raise a few bales apiece, work-
; on their own farms themselves; the aggre
gate of these bales will swell the total crop be-
[ond the limits of estimates made iu the old way.
following circumstances
were nt supper iu un apartment of an out-build
ing used ns a kitchen. The negroes crept up I
upon them, and the first intimation tlie family |
hod of their presence was on being ordered to |
surrender and seing two guns pointed at them i
through the half closed door. Tlie door was |
then fastened upon tho lamily, and a guard linv- 1
ing been posted the ruffians proceeded to the
house and robbed it ol everything of value. The ,
plunder was coolly stacked in the yard lor trans
portation, a guard was put upon it, and then an i
order was issued to tlie pent-up inmates ot the j
kitchen to cook rations for the robbers. This j
they had to do; and when cooked.it was passed ^
out to them through an opening in tlie wall; |
nnd when dovoured.'the negroes quietly departed :

The Ram Merkimac.—The Norfolk Journal
[uys that the ram Merrimuc has been blown up
second time, and with almost as terrific a
trash as on tho night of the memorable 10th of
play. Tlie 27th March being very clear and
uutiful fur such au operation, Mr. D. A. Un-
licrdown, the wrecker of the remains of tlie
\Verrimac, applied tlie' torpedoes which had
sen prepared for tlie purpose, and tlie great
jtly of iron armor was thrown out of ils bed
i tlie river and torn in hundreds of fragments.
If lie explosion was distinctly seen by persons in
P’ortsmouth.
President Johnson.—A Washington dis-
atcli of the 10th says: President Johnson was
i his office to-day, but no visitors were admitted,
lleorge Morris, his attending physician requires
him to keep quiet as possible iu order to give him
[in opportunity to recuperate his illness, which it
ecins, proceeds from affection of tlie liver,from

Guilford Register, a youth (white) about cigl
teen years of age, aud a resident of that town,
who was tried last week lor the murder of Mr.
Wm. B. Stevens, late Shoritr of Duval county,
and United States Tax Collector, was found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged in tlie public
square of that city oil tlie 19th inst. Mr. Ste
vens was murdered ou the 29th of lust Novem
ber, on tlie highway, and robbed of the small
amount of $100. lt'seems that Mr. S. had been
to the house ol Register's hither to collect taxes.
The son secreted himself about a mile irom the
house, and as .Mr. S. approached, fired, kilihig
him. The culprit, after the trial was copcluded,
made a confession ot the crime, showing tlmt it
was a cool, premeditated act, tor the purpose of
robbery. ' _____
Crop Prospects.—The accounts from almost
every section of .Maryland, Virginia nnd Nortli
Carolina speak of the propect of a large crop
of wheat. A Louisville paper says uot only iu
Ohio ami Kentucky, but in Tennessee also, the
wheat crop is more extensive than is usually
seen, and promises au abundant yield. The
Illinois Stale Journal learns that tlie wheat in
Sangamon and adjoining counties looks hnely,
better than during Urn corresponding season lor
several years past. Wheat ami other cereal
crops in Texas, oi which an unusually large
breadth lias been planted, are iookiug splen
didly and tlie Lone Blur planters anticipate
the biggest harvest they ever had.
New Counterfeits.—An extra ol the Na
tional Bank Note Reporter announces a new aud
dangerous counterfeit five dollar bill on tlie Peo
ple’s National Bank of Jackson, Michigan. The
engraving is poor; but iu the eveniug, or taking
money hastily, the note might easily he i assed.
Quite a number ol those notes were reported on
Friday as having been offered in New York. A
new twenty dollar counterfeit on the Fourth
National Bank of Philadelphia, has betn recent-
ly pul iu circulation.
