Admiral Semmei at GalveHon.
On the evening of the 4th iust., according to Flake’s
Bulletin, the Court House at Galveston was thronged
with the most fashionable audience which has assem
bled in that city since the war; all the wealth, intelli
gence, beauty and fashion of both Galveston and
Houston appeared on the occasion of Admiral Semmes’
lecture. All that the room would contain were there,
and many were forced to go away for want of a place.
He was introduced to the assembly by Col. Lantlier.
and then Went, on as follows. We copy from the
Bulletin: •
Fellow-Citizens:—I have Wen invited to deliver
one of a course of lectures. Every one is to be be
lieved in his own art, which may oe paraphased, no
one is to be believed but iu his own art. This is not
my art. I am not accustomed to the lecture room.
Othello’s occupation is gon«f. [Applause,] I do not
propose to touch any political subject; I propose to
speak of. the history of the Alabama as viewed iu the
light of history and American precedents. Your in
vitation fouud me at home e'rtdeavoring to restore our
State to her place in the Federal Union 'without tar
nishing her honor. A little while back we were all
engaged, heart and soul, in a mighty war; now wp are
engaged with equal earnestness in the pursuits of
peace. The architects in our revolution left then-
work incomplete. They must expect to be condemned
and despised in their day. A philosopher never quar
rels with nature. This, I am happy to say, is the
course of all our prominent leaders. Instead of giving
way to useless repining, they are acting with tact and
talent in all the walks of honest labor.
Men of one generation make history; men of
another write it. The actors in a conflict, such as is
passed, are disqualified from being its historians. It
is to put ou record some tacts regarding the Alabama
that I speak to-night. I propose to show you that
she was not a pirate, a privateer, or a bucanneer, but
the recognized ship, wearing the colors of a State, by
the laws of nations. On the land, an enemy might
overrun a country without destroying private pro-
perty. Destroying private property on land is for
bidden. Not so on the sea. The destruction of com
merce In ancient times was a slow process. The war
between the Confederate aud the United States was
the first between maratime powers since the intro
duction of steam.
The Alabama had warrant for what she did both in
the laws of nations and of the United States. She
was built abroad. The United States has made the
British origin of the Alabama a constant source of
complaint She was built by the Lairds. The United
States Government endeavored to contract with this
same firm to build ships fo : them. [Mr. Seinmes
here read extracts from Mr. Laird's speech in the
House of Commons, already published and well
kuown.] From this speech it. appears that before
they undertook to build the Alabama, the United
States Government had been in treaty with the
Messrs. Laird to build gunboats aud monitors.
We offered better terms—hence the Alabama be
came a Confederate ship instead of a Federal vessel.
She leff England as a merchant vessel. Her Con
federate commission was read and her proper flag un
furled an the high seas, where the Confederate had as
much authority as the Federal Government. It is the
commission a sovereign puts on board a vessel that
makes her a personification of the sovereign. Even if
a slop be built in a neutral territory she is purged of
that wrong as soon as she is commissioned. If the
Alabama was built iu violation of the neutrality law,
that was a question between the United States and
England. From the moment the Confederates were
recognized as belligerents, they had a full right to
make war m every particular. The United States
acknowledged this in the first mouths of the war. In
support of this proposition the speaker quoted Vattel,
3d book, and argued that if the United States could
buy ships, the Confederate States could do the same.
The speaker then quoted Justice Griet-’s decision in
the prize cases, reported in 2d Black Reports, laying
great stress on the passage, “it is not necessary that
the State should bt^recognized.”
Mr. Semmes entered largely into the history of the
South American States, claiming that their cruisers
captured prizes aud carried them into American ports.
In illustration of the fact that the Southern States
were recognized, and entitled to all the sovereign
rights of war, Gens. Grant and Sherman treated Gens.
Lee and Johnston as generals of an army. Allusion
was here made to the circumstances of the speaker’s
parole, and to the fact that he was described both us
an Admiral and General. Johnston and Sherman
treated each other as equals. Wo laid down our arms
iu consideration that the safety of our-persons should
be guaranteed. When General Grant wrote his letter
to General Lee, he recognized us as soldiers of a de
facto Government.
The speaker here drew a parallel betweeu the Revo
lution and the Confederate States. If what the colo
nies did was right when they did it, What the Confed
erate States did was right when they did it. The
acknowledgment ol American independence by Eng
land made no difference, because whatever rights they
had, ti.ey received because of their-governments de
facto, and not tie jure.
The speaker here quoted from Fennimore Cooper’s
Naval History the exploits of Paul Jones aud other
American privateers, asserting that the colonial priva
teers destro3’ed tlieir prizes at sea, and arguing that
they had less warrant than ho had. The whole coast
was blockaded, and the burning of prizes was a neces
sity that ho could not avoid. Tho colonies less than a
century ago did those very things which they now
charge ou us as crimes.
Passing to the commissioners appointed by the col
onies—Silas Dean, Dr. Franklin and John Adams—the
speaker drew ft parallel between them aud Messrs.
Slidell and Mason.
The career of the Surprise, Capt. Cunningham, a
colonial cruiser, was then, quoted as a precedent of the
Alabama.
Charles Francis Adams complained that the Con
federate States had commissioners iu England, carry
ing on a naval bureau. The colonial commissioners
had a naval bureau iu France. In this manner were
the Revenge, Reprisal, Lexington and the Dolphin
obtained.
But it has been charged that the Alabama had
foreigners on board—asserting that this was no valid
objection, since Paul Jones had a motley crew on
board the Bon Homme Richard.
The speaker concluded tlMis: The Alabama was not
a new construction, save that she was a steam vessel.
Dr.- Franklin and his compeers constructed aud
manned a good many Aiabuinas in their day. What
our sires did their sous may do.' In other genera
tions the nlstory of the North will be the history of
the South. By the philo^opliy ol history 1 am willing
to be judged. If the philosophy ol history embalms
the struggles ol* the colonial Slates, so will it embalm
the struggles of llie Confederate Stab s. If it records
approvingly theexploits of ihc Surprise and the Re
venge, so will it record tho « xploits of the Alabama.
[From the Baltimore Sun.]
The Arrest of Joint TI. .Surratt.
We have already published tin* pith and point of the
diplomatic correspondence iu relation to the escape
of John H. Snrratt to Europe, aud his arrest iu Rome,
whither ho escaped to Egypt, where he was subse
quently rearrested. The foreign news by the cable,
given yesterday, stated that the man who gave the in
formation which led to the arrest of Surratt is a
French Canadian, named St. Marie. He was formerly
a Union soldier, and afterwards -served in the Papal
Zouaves. Both he and Snrratt, it is alleged, were in
love with the same lady in Washington, and St. Marie
betrayed Surratt through jealousy. The following is
said to be the affidavit of SL Marie, on which Surratt
was first arrested while serving as a Papal Zouave:
“1 was living in Maryland, at a small village called
Ellangowan, or little Texas, about twenty-fivo or
thirty miles from Baltimore, where I was engaged as
teacher for a period of about five months. I there
aud then got acquainted with Lewis J. Weicliman aud
John H. Surratt, who came to that locality to pay a
visit to the parish priest. At that first interview a
great deal was said about the war aud slavery, the
sentiments expressed by these two individuals being
more than secessionist. In the course of the conver
sation, I remember Surratt to have said that Presi-
deni Lincoln would certainly pay for all the men that
were slain during the war. About a month after I
removed to Washington, at the Instigation of Weich-
man, and got a situation as tutor , where he
was engaged. Surratt visited ns weekly, and he once
offered to sond mo South, but I declined. I did not
remain more than a month at Washington, not being
able to agree wilh Weichman, aud enlisted in the
army of the North, as stated in my first statement in
writing to General King. I have met Surratt iu Italy,
at a small town called Velletri. He is now known
under the name of John Waison.
“I recognized him before he made himself known to
me, and told him privately, 'You are John Surratt,
the person I have known in Maryland.’ Ho acknmv-
Iedged lie wuh, and begged of me to keep the thing
secret. After some conversation we spoke of the uu-
fortuuate affair of the assassination of President
Lincoln, aud these were bis words: ‘Damn the
Yankees, they have killed my mother. But I have
done them as much harm as I could. We have
killed Liucolu, tho niggers’ friend. 1 He then said,
speaking of his mother, ‘Had it not been for me
and that coward Weichman, my mother would be
living now. It was tear made linu speak; bad he
kept his tongue, there was no danger for him. Bui if
I ever return to America and meet him elsewhere, I
shall kill him.’ He then said he was in the secret
service of the South, and Weichman, who was in some
department there, used to steal copies ol the dis
patches and forward them to him aud thence to
Richmond. Speaking of the murder, ho said they
had acted under the orders of men who are not yet
kuowu, some of whom are still inNew York and others
iu London. I am aware that money is seut to him yet
from London. ‘When I left Canada/ he said, I ted
but little money, but I hadja letter for a party
in London. I was in disguise, with dyed hair
and false beard; that party sent me to a hotel,
where he Ufid me to remain till. I would hear from
hiui; after a few weeks he came and proposed to go to
Spaiu, but 1 declined, aud asked to go to Paris.’ He
gave him seventy pounds, wilh a letter of introduc
tion to a party there, who sent him here to Rome,
where he joined the Zouaves. He s.iys be can gel
money iu Rome at any time. I believe he is protected
by the clergy, and that the murder w as the result of a
deep laid plot, not only against the life of Pre ident
Lincoln, but against the existence of the Republic, as
wo are aware that priesthood ‘and royalty are, and al
ways have been, opposed to liberty. Th it such men
as Surratt, Booth, Weichman aud others, should, of
their own accord, plan and execute the infernal plot
which resulted in the death of President Lincoln, is
impossible. There are others behind the curtain wlio
haveto make these scoundrels act. I have also asked
him if he knew Jefferson Davis.
He said not,but that he had acted tinder instructions
of person« nnder Us inunedisle orders. Being asked
If Jeff. Davis had anything to do with theaaaaasina-
tion, he aatd: “J am not going to teH you ’ My im
pression is that he brought the order from Richmond,
u ho was in the habit of going there weekly. He must
have wished the others to do it, for when the event
took place, be told me he ws* in New York, prepared
to flv as soon as the deed was done. He says he does
no??e“et“ hEbas taken place, and that he wiilvant
jj.. w York in a year or two, a& there is a heavy ship
ping firm there who bad much to do with the South,
and he is surprised that they have not been suspected.
This is the exact truth of what X know . abo _“‘
More I could not learn, being afraid to ttikeo bis
auspicious, and farther I do not say.

r SON «f Trafficking in Bottles Scar-
inn My Name, and Marked 18W.—Thoa*
bottles are made expressly for me, in my own private
mould. I neither sell or give them away, aud
NO OTHER PERSON
HAS A RIGHT TO DO SO.
Prom time to time, for many years, I have notified
parties receiving from me their supplies of Soda NYa
ter. Porter and Ale that I furnish them only ou condi
tion that they become responsible for tbe bottles, and
return them when empty. A contrary course would
boincoQsisteut, as I charge but 75 cents per dozen for
*the contents; while tbe actual cost of the bottle, with
the patent fastener attached^, and which la lost with
each bottle lest, i#U cents, or $1 HO per dozen. My
actual weekly loss of bottles at the present time is
from one to two hundred dozen, or about $300: These
are frets, and can be vouched for by th<>ee in my em
ploy and proven by my books, also by statements from
the glass manufacturers, which will show the thou
sands of dollars an Dually paid them by me for those
bottles which have been lost, without any remunera
tion by those to whom they were entrusted, and who
attach so little value to them, simply because they
have never been compelled to pay for \ny. But they
should bear in mind that they may at any time be
brought to an account.
My best efforts—and, in fact, the best part of my
life has been devoted to this business, and with a de
sire to conduct it in such a manner as to give genera'
satisfretion to all, aud to furnish all articles, iu my
line (which I have done) at as low a price and of a su
or quality to any similar articles offered. Such
been my past, such shall be my future course;
and in now asking my patrons to be more careful ol
my bottles, aud return them all to me when empty, 1
simply ask my rights. Those failing to comply with
my very jnst demand will be compelled to do so le
gally. Respectfully,
dcclO—2w JOHN RYAN.
