DfcATII CF A WKI.L KNOWS CITIZEX.—Wc
n-gret to announce the dcnili in this city
at one o’clock last night at his residence,
of Mr Conrad Weigand,senior pariner of the
firm of Wiig md and Schwartz, proprietors
of the Savannah Hotel and Yolks Garten.
Mr. \Vligand was horn in Bavaria, and
has been for ihc past fifteen years a resident
of Savannah. He was in the 32nd year of
his age. The deceased leaves a wife and two
children to mourn his loss. In all the rela
tions of life, as a kind husband and a parent,
as a careful and honest business man, Mr.
Weigaud was meritorious. For many years
the deceased was a nu mber of Germania
Fire Company No. 10, and also a member ;
of the Masonic Fraternity. Mr. Wcignnd
has been iu bad health for several years.—
The disease which terminated his life, was
o n-umpiion of the bowels.
The funeral is to take place to-morrow at
Kt o'clock a. m., from liia late residence, cor
ner of JvlFersoa and Congress streets. ,
Stbamsiiu* Carolina—Her Safe Arrival.
We arc glad to be able to announce the safe
arrival at New York ol the Carolina, of Hnn
ter & Gammell's Line. The Carolina left
tli 13 port on Wednesday, the 21st, and it was
feared that she had encountered the storm
which arose shortly afterward. A telegram
from New York, received this morning, an
nounces that she arrived there on Sunday
all right.
Some little concern is felt in business cir
cles and among the friends of passengers in
regard to the steamers City of Port an
Prince and America, which departed on
Friday and Saturday respectively, at about
the time when the recent severe storm burst
ujwin the coast iu all its fury. Both these
boats, however, are staunch and compara
tively new, and no serious apprehensions
should be entertained.
Sweatmas’s Varieties.-**“Thc Dumb
Man of Manchester" was repeated again last
night to a full house. The “Dumb Man” was
rendered by Mr. J. W. Caruer in a masterly
manuer, though the inequality of the sup
ptnt detracted from the excellence of the re
presentation. We venture to say, that more
powerful, impressive and lifelike panto
mine acting has rarely beeu seen on the Sa
vannah boards, than that of Mr. Garner’s in
the “Dumb Man of Manchester,”
This evening is the farewell night of Mr.
Garner and the St. Loons. A crowded house

THE ASSASSI.VATIOSTtUALS,
The evidence on both sides of these most
important trials is now concluded, and coun
! rel had already begun to nrgue the case nt
our la-t advices. Mr. Doster, who is retain
ied in behalf of G jorge Abzerctt and Payne,
{ delivered the preliminary argument in the
defence, on Wednesday Juno 21.
it will be lemembertd that in Military
Courts the usual rule is reve.sed, and the
defendants’ counsel are compelled to lead
off, while the plaintiffs’ Attorneys have the
privilege of delivering the closing arguments
This is a most important difference; for it
seems to amount taken iu connection with
the other differences in practice between civil
and military courts to something very like Ibis;
In all civil courts n prisoner is assumed to be
innocent, and tiie on*s of proving his guilt
rests on the prosecutor; while in military
courts the accused is from the first moment
treated as if he were, of course, guilty, and
upon him rests the necessity of proviug his
innocence. The tremeudous importance of
Ibis distinction in cases involving life and
death, can be appreciated by any intelligent
man, even if he has not had a legal educa
tion.
Mr. Duster’s speech is effective as a mere
statement ot facts, but lie gives up the case
of his clients as hopeless; and while ac
knowledging their guilt, he only seeks to ob
tain a mitigation of punishment.
Os Payne, tiie assassin of Seward, about
whom there has been so much mystery, Mr.
Dosier says:
Lewi- Payne Powell, is the son of the
Rev. George C. Powell, a Baptist minister,
at .present supposed to live at Live Oak Sta
tion, on the railroad between Jacksonville
and Tallahassee, in the State of Florida, and
was born in Alabama iu the year 1845. Be
sides himself, his father had six daughters
and two sons. He lived for some time in
Worth and Stuart counties, Georgia, and in
1859 moved to Florida. At the breaking out
of the war, but four years ago, the prisoner
was a lad of sixteen, engaged in superintend
ing his fathers’ plantation and a number of
slaves. Wc may safely presume that, occu
pied iu the innocent pursuits of country life,
he daily heard the precepts of the Gospel
from his father, and that ip the society of his
sisters, the hardy life of a planter was* soften
ed by the charms ot a refined and religious
circle, and that in tie natural course of
events lie would be to-day', as he was then,
a farmer, and An honest man. Butin 1801
war broke out—the scourge and pestilence
of the race. The signal, which spread like
fire, was not long in reaching Live Oak Sta
tion. His two brothers enlisted, and Lewis,
though but sixteen, enlisted in Captain Stu
art’s company In the Second Florida infani
uy commanded by Colonel Ward, and was
ordered to Richmond."
This explains who “Payne” is. It ha?
been said that he was an illegitimate son of
Jefferson Davis; that he is a nephew of Gen.
Lee, etc., bqt the story of the Lawyer is
doubtless correct. Atter detailing the Army
experience of “ Payne,” Doster goes on to
give the following very interesting account
of Payne's acquaintance with Bootii;
While iu this condition the fracas occurred
nt his hoarding house, by which he was ar
rested, brought before tjje provost marshal,
and ordered north of Philadelphia. .Every
where the sky is dark to him. He is pro
scribed among northern men as a rebel; de
spised among southern men in Baltimore as
a recreant southerner, and a byword among
southern men at home—a deserter. Peuni
less and friendless, the earth seems to reject
him, and God and man to be against him.—
This is the work of civil war. llis education
is now completed. Slavery has taught him
to wink at murder; the southern army has
taught him to practice and justify murder;
ghee'll la Mfttffare has taught him to love
murder; necessity has taught hjm resolution
to commit murder. lie needs no further
education; his four terms are complete. He
graduates an assassin, and of this college the
people pf the Unite,d States have been the
stem tutors, guides, apd professors. It needs
now only that some ope shmffd employ him.
At the beginning of the war Powell one uiglu
went to the theatre at Richmond. It was
the first play,that Powell ever-saw, aud be
was spell-bound by the magical influence of
the stage, lie was attracted by the Voice
and manner of one of tiie actors, J. Wilkes
Booth. Although a private soldier, Powell
considered himself the equal of any man,
and after the play was o tcy gougbl and ob
tained an introduction to the actor. Never
were two natures thrown together so differ
ent, yet one so well calculated to rule the
other. The soldier was tall, rough, frank,
generous, illiterate 5 the actor was of a
delicate mould, polished, graceful, subtle.
Vi'ith brilliant powers and abundant stock
of reading. They saw enough of each other
to form a clqie lutimqcy, sufficient to complete
the control of Booth over fbo prisoner, and
parted not to meet again for’nearly four
years. In the twilight oi one memorable day
in March Powell, was dragging himself aloug
the street past Rarpum’s Hotel, 'a poor crea
tore overcome by destiny. Suddenly a fami
liar voice li filed him. Looking up the steps,
ho saw ij;e face of the Richmond actor. The
actor, ou Ills aids, expressed astonishment to
find Posvell in such a plight, upd pqwell
answered him in a few words qtli, j
want food; 1 am starving.” Under other
circumstances. Booth might have given him
bread, but he was filled with a mighty
scheme, Ipr he had ji»sf potpc from Canada,
and was lying in wait for ageqts. Re seized
with eagerness the poor man's hunger to
wind tyb<>Ut l:is toils, saying': “f will give
you as mqch m«mpy aa you ■ want, but vqu
must swear to stick by jije ; It Js ip the oji
business." A hungfy stomach is qof cau
tious of oaths, and Powell then s\yore tlpp
fatal oath, binding his soul as firmly to
Booth fH Faust to Alepiiistopheles, and went
iu and feasted.
Finally when “Pttice” became auxltnn to
know the exact nature of the business ho
wants})* employed in, nnd when at last
3uotJi saw his victim was ready he imparted
Jhe plan, which 17 as at that t|i»c tp Jake
some Confederate soldiers, ride out to the
Sodiers Home, capture by force tfoe IJesi
dcnt, gag him, and deliver him to the Con
federate authorities. By degrees “Payne”
Was afterward induced by Booth to under
take the murder of Mr. Seward and family
on the evening -of the 11th of April, at 8
o'clock. Booth told him the hour had struck,
placed in his hands the knife, the revolver
and the bogus package of Medicine, and
told him to do do his duty, and gav e him a
horse, with directions to meet him at Ana
costa bridge, and he went and did the deed.
I, said Mr. Doster, have asked film why lie
did it. His only answer is, “Because l'be
lieved it ray duty." Mr. Doster argued that
Payne, at the time he committed tue deed,
had no will of his own, but had surrendered
his will completely to Booth.
Mr. Dosters speech was confined mainly
to the case of “Payne,” as his other client,
George Abzerctt, has made the subjoined
confession, which cannot fail to be of great
interest.
I am one of the party who agreed to the
capture of the President of the United States
or any m mber of the Cabinet on f Genera!
Grant or Vice-President Johnson. The first
plot to capture failed ; the second to kill, I
broke away from the moment I heard of it.
This is the way it came about. On the even
ing of the 14th of April 1 met Booth aud
Payne at the Herndon House, in this city at
8 o clock. He (Booth) said lie himself Would
take charge ot Mr. Lincoln and General
Grani, Payne should take Mr. Seward, and
I should take Mr. Johnson. I told him I
would not do it; that I had gone into the
thing to capture, bat I was not going
to kill. He told me that I was
a fool; that it was death to every
man who backed out, and so we parted. I
wandered about the streets till 2 o’clock in
the morning and then went to the Kiminell
House, and from there pawned my pistol at
Georgetown, aud went to my cousin s house
in Montgomery county, where I was arrested
the 19th following? After I was arrested I
told Provost Marshal Well 9 and Provost
Marshal MePliail the whole story; also told
it to Capt. Monroe, and Col. Wells told me if
I poiuted out the way Booth had gone I
would be reprieved; and so I told him I
thought he had gone down Charles county in
order to cross the Potomac. The arms which
were found in my room at the Kirkwood
House, and a black coat, do not belong to
me. On the afternoon of the 14th of April.
Herold called to see and left the
coat there. It is his eoat and all in
it belongs to him,as you can 9ee by the hand
kerchiefs marked with his initials and with
name of his sister, Mrs. Naylor. Now I will
siate how I passed the whole of the evening
ot the 14th of April. In the afternoon, about
two o'clock, I went to Nether’s stable, on
Eighth street, near D, and hired a dark-bay
mare, and rode into the country for pleasure,
and on my return put her up at Naylor's sta
ble. The dark bay horse which I had kept
at Naylor’s stable before, or about the 3d of
April, belonged to Booth, and also the sad
ble aud bridle. I. hail charge of him to sell
him. Ido not know what became of him.
At about six in the evening I went to Nay
lor’s again aud took out the mare. I rode
out for an hour and returned her to Naylor’s.
It was theu nearly eight, and I told hint to
keep the mare ready at ten o’clock iu order
to return her to the man I hired her
from. From there I went to the
Henidon House. Booth sent a message
to “ Oyster Bay,-’ where I was staying say
ing he wanted to see me, and I went. Booth
warned me to murder Mr. Johnson, I then
went to the “Oyster Bay” on the avenue,
above Twelfth street, and wlfiled away the
time till about 10. I got the mare, and hay
ing taken a drink with the hostler, gallopped
about town aud went to the Kimmetll House.
From there I Tode down to the depot aud
returned my horse, riding up Pennsylvania
avenue to Keltbers; from Ketttier’s I weut
down to the Navy Yard to get a room with
Wash. Briscoe. He had none and by the
time I got back to the KimrneU House it
was near 2. The man Thomas was a stranger
I met on the street. Next morniqg, as
stated, I went to my cousin Richter in
Montgomery county

TSRRXFXO EXPLOSION.
Blowing up of a Tug Boat at
Chicago.
From the extended accounts of this ter
rible explosion given in the N. Y. Herald of
the 23d, we condense the following:
About fifteen minutes past noon the tug
boat U u uuy Siaffofd was towing the sclir.
Mazeppa down the river. WlTeu directly
in trout of Mes-ra. Oiling ton Lunt & Broth
er's elevator the schooner ran upon what is
kuowu among navigators as Goose -Island,
and there grounded. The tuglroat backed
up and remained stationary about five min
utes iu order to make steam. It then start
ed rapidly forward, the cable tightened, and
in the next instant an explosion occurred,
the effects of which we shall endeavor to
describe, 4a they wefc cjisastryus in the ex
treme, 7
At the moment the explosion occurred the
captain, James Ogden, was standing ait, in
company with a deck hand, named James
Ferns, and another employe on the boat.—
All three were thrown into the rigging of the
Mazeppa, and rescued by her crew, without
much intury. ..
The engineer, Flick McCune, was at his
po9t, and it is supposed that UU body was
blown inlo'atoms; up to this writing uq
trace of it has been found, although fits river
lias been dragged in every direction.
ThoqVas Ferris, the tireman, escaped in
some providential mannef, which he bimselt
can hardly describe. It is supposed, howev
er, that he sryijm through the wator, being
ihfotyn joto flic river by the explosion. The
right side of bja wag batjlv cut, and his
face was burned by the steftm. T he other
employes on the tugboat were hot injured
Th« captain escaped without a bruise.
The fenqyt cttqspd by the explosion was
terrific. Persons alqug the wharves, qn the
bridges and in the adjacent buildings, were
studied by if, and a Qioineutnrv cousteyua
tiqu seized unqn everybody in tlfe vicinity.—
T hc board oi IVado werp nf (l»e little busily
engaged upon ’Change, and the 'cpnsterna
uou produced among its members was most
intense. The scene presented immediately
after the disaster is almost indescribable. —
IV>« the surface of thc water there were no
other indications of what had transpired ex
cept that a very few pieces of timber floated
here and there, and except that the vessels
laying along the wharves rocked to and fro
ff'opi the ooiictissioo iu a most unusual man
ner. But aooye, the sky seemed wholly ob
scured by a vast cloud of timbers, boards and
splinters which had bepn thrown to an im
mense height, and which, after a brief inter
val, came splashiqg’down into tlie water, and
clattering upon the housetops and pavements
for a great distance iu all directions. The
half of the tug sank to the bottom of the river
instantly, only a ragged portion of one side
being left visible above the water. And with
the upper works of the vessel—with the en
gine and boiler too —the entire crew, consist
ing ot four men, were hurled to a fearful
height in the air, and fell headlong among
the fragments of the wreck into the river
These unfortunate men, all except the engi
neer, were rescued.
Borne notion of the terrific explosion may
be gathered from the fact that a massive frag
ment of the boiler was thrown completely
over a five story building, and fell upon tiie
roof of a three story building on the opposite
side of the street, and breakiug through the
roof and ceiling, then through the floor of the
third story, lodged upon the floor of the see
ond story.
ALLEGED IMMENSE DEFALCATION.
The. Reported Flight of a Brooklyn and New
York Merchant with Haifa Million of Dollars.
(From the Brooklyn Union, Jane 22.)
Yesterday morning the denizens of the
|4ace where “merchants most do congrega
gnte” were startled by the report that Mr.
Smith J. Eastman had absconded, leaving
his cicJitors lacking about half a iniliou of
dollars.
Mr. Eastman is well known in Brooklyn.
He has been considerably in political life,
taking an active part in the action of the
party to which he belonged, though holding
no office, we believe, save the uninfluentiat
one of member of the Board of Education,
t« which body he was attached for several
years. He has occupied a fine house and
grounds on Clifton avenue, kept a stylish
establishment, lived in a comfortable man
ner, and beeu generally reputed worth from
three hundred tnous;.nd to half a million of
dollars.
He was engaged in the provision business,
was at one time a member of the well known
firm of Brush & Cos., was afterwards seuior
partner in the house of E istman & Cos. He
operated largely in hi3 own immediate line
of business, and was specially well known
throughout the interior, with the merchants
of which he was widely connected. His
credit in business circles has been generally
good, and, though some claim to have sus
pected its soundness for several years, he
has had no difficulty in using it extensively,
as the amount of his defalcation shows.
It haß transpired that Eastman was not in
volved, but tURt he has probably been ena
bled to take a large amount of money with
him. nis broker, Mr. Edmund T. H. Gib
son, of No. 54 William street, New York,
and residing at No. «7 Pierrepont street, is
believed to be involved to a large amount.
He also obtained lor Eastman a considerable
amount of mdney upon the certificate of the
deposit of land, as signed iu duplicate by
Howe, the warehouseman. These Gibson
accepted, and also cashed Eastman's indivi
dual notes, and those of the firm of Eastman
& Cos., some of which were made out by his
partner. These he holds ns unpleasant re
minders of his great confidence in a man
Who stood high Wherever he was known.
Among those who lose by Mr. Eastman
are Williams, Guyon & Cos., $40,000; Mr.
Spoffiird, $30,000; W. A. Brown, $25,000;
W. T. Coleman, $50,000, and the estate of
Edward Mott Robinson, who died about ten
days ago, $75,000. It is next to impossible
to get any facts as to the losers, because each
oqe who has been taken in desires to dis
guise the fact, if possible, in order that his
own credit may not be injured thereby.
There have victims to the amount of SIOO,-
000 already appeared, aud the whole amount
will reach over half a million.
The store of Eastman & Cos. is now in the
hands of the Sheriff, upon an attachment, as
is also tlie warehouse where the lard was
stored. On examination of this latter place
it was found that not half the barrels mark
ed “full ’ contained any lard at all. It fur
ther appeared that the storehouse would not
contain one-quarter the number of barrels re
ceipted as being there in store.
The market lelt tlie excitement this morn
ing. Pork fell and lard came down $1 on a
barrel. “Cumberland” in which, just before
Grant took Richmond, Eastman made a large
amount, stood firm.
It will be seen that thc operation was an
extremely adroit one. The provision broker
Who is implicated iu she transaction was a
neighbor of Mr. Eastman in business, and is
understood to be Mr. 0. K. Howe, cf Broad
street.
The broker referred to as having lost heav
ily is a Brooklyn man. He is very unjustly
connected with the frauds of Eastman. This
is so far fiom being the case that he lost by
Eastman nearly one hundred thousand dol
lars—about $75,000 in notes nnd the balance
in book account. lie had been accustomed
to purchase stocks for Eastman, in some
advancing the money on note, and in
some cases taking note or book account for
tlie losses. lie was also “ stuck” to the
amount of twenty thousand dollars by a
bogus receipt from Howe, which w a3 gene
rally regarded as so good that his bank ad
vanced money upon ft.
Some believe that Mr. Eastman acted un
der the impulse of insanity, to which he is
reported by his friends to have been subject
within the- last few years. If so, there was
a strange method iu his madness, and thcie
is no reason, except the alleged previous at
tack, l'or any such supposition.
Mr. Eastmen s private character has gen
erally been regarded as pure. He has been
extremely tpupificient in its gifts fqf yarious
benevolent purposes, and only lately supplied
the funds for almost entirely defraying the
expenses of au exhibition of the Horticultu
ral Association. Facts have not loug since,
however, come to light which cast a very
dark suspicion qpon njs character, and in a
recent attempt to procure liis reappointment
. to the Board of Education his reputation suf
fered severely. He was impulsive, superfi
cial, generous and of very cordial tempera
ment, nqd must haye been an easy prey to
gj-eat te'tfiptatiqqs.
He ig fepoffed to have been seen in New
York us late as eleven o’clock ou Saturday,
and is suspected to Lave taken passage with
a view of reaching Switzerland, with” which
country, jt is currently believed, there is no
extradition treaty. ]t lie aaiied front New

[Paris correspondence of th* London Times. June 7 1 j
It is sa.id, and I believe truly said, that the
Emperor is ill satisfied with the progress of
affairs since his departure for Algeria and
that the probable effect of the debate on the
budget will not tend to lessen his displeasure
The Ajaccio manifesto must have given him
considerable annoyance, but this is not the
first time he has had to express publicly liis
disavowal of the acts of his cousin. J
It appears that, his Imperial Highness is
much more calm and resigned for the last
two thau lieforc. it ia not often that
the Emperor loses his temper, but there was
something in his last rebuke which showed
that, however calm on the surface, there was
something beneath which was thoroughly
roused, and that it would not be safe to trifle
with. The Prince is said to have received
letters from his fatlier-in-lnw, Victor Eman
uel, recommending prudence, and giving be
sides a world of advice. Other friends have
not been wanting in their good offices. The
upshot is that the Priuce is tractable and
somewhat repentaut, and that ho will go to
Toulon to meet his cousin and sovereign who
is expected there on the 17th.
