j lie, to his honor be it ever spoken, bad the
moral courage, on the application of her conn-

helpless woman, w ho died amidst the extern-
tions of a mob. Mary E. Surratt has been in
her grave for more than eight long years, but
“ her spirit walks abroad.” From the tomb
of supposed infamy into which her lifeless
body was hissed by a maddened populace, a
voice proceeds which will not let her mur
derers rest And has this poor, unfriended
woman, who swung into eternity with a felon’s
through the constitutional barrier of the great
writ of right to compass the death of this
woman be heard to say that he wanted to save
her life, and if Holt had not concealed thtrpe*
tition he would have followed the promptings
of his own heart and pardoned her?
There is one thing that Judge Holt did not
conceal from Mr. Johnson, and that was the
Constitution of his country, which lie had
halter about ber neck, piwer, even in her ; sworn to*support and which guaranteed to
dishonored grave, to arraign before the bar | Mrs. Surratt a trial by jury and which pro
of public opinion the two most conspicuous ! vided that she should not be tried at all un
actors in the disgraceful and illegal pro- I less upon presentment or indictment. There
ceedings that culminated in her execu-j is another thing which Judge Holt did not
tion? Tis even so. Her spectral finger conceal from Mr. Johnson and that was the
points to these two central figures in the con
science-smitten group, and the muse of his
tory has so adjusted her photographic lens as
to transfer their pictures to the plate forever.
They may quarrel as to the part each took in
the horrible work, and tho one endeavoT to
shift from his own to the shonlders of the
other “the deep damnation of her taking off.”
But they are partners—partners in the trial,
partners in the execution, partners in the
blood and partners in that nndying sentence
of condemnation which the solemn voice of
posterity will pronounce against the deed.
This is a partnership which cannot be dis
solved—eilher by mutual consent, the decrees
of courts or the death of parties They are
wasting their time in endeavoring to fix their
respective liabilities now. Let them not an
ticipate the verdict of history. The point
they are discussing now is an immaterial and
collateral issue, compared with the more sol
emn aspects of the case. Holt affirms that
he laid before Johnson the petition for the
pardon of Mrs. Surratt. The position of
Holt, if sustained by proof, (and he does sus
tain it) falls infinitely below the charge he
will be called upon to meet at the bar of j*os-|
writ of habeas corpus, which sought to
pluck the body of Mrs. Surratt from the jaws
of death and place her beneath the aegis of
the Constitution. But he tore her from the
verg arms of the Constitution and threw her quiv
ering form to the blood hounds of military jus
tice, and the dogs devoured her.
This is Mr. Johnson’s part of the “enor
mous crime.” Holt arraigns Johnson for hur
rying the poor prisoners into eternity in two
short days after they were tried. The Judge
Advocate General is fearful they were not pre
pared to die. Hear him. He says he “could
not have thought for a moment of hurrying
them into the eternal world, as cattle are
driven to the slaughter-pen, without a care
for their future.” Now these be sweet and
pious words from the pen of the Chief of
Bureau of Military Justice. Doubtless

tures Weighed heavily upon his pious
soul, and it he could have been follow

inform them. Such a tribunal had no juris
diction of Mrs. Surratt’s case. The Constitu
tion of the United States upon this point is
too plain and emphatic for any man who ever
read its provisions to doubt about it.
Was Judge Holt ignorant of the fact that she
was a civilian, and as such could not be tried
by a military court? Was he ignorant of the
fact that she was a citizen, and had tho light
to a trial by jury ? He is too able a lawyer to
plead his ignorance on these points, if, in
deed, he should desire to avail himself of this
defense. The courts of the District of Co

Johnson at that time that would have fully
warranted him in making any suggestion ho
might desire iu the premises; and if he had
’felt then the pious solicitude which ho affects
new, for the souls of the condemned, he
would have suggested a longer time. The
circumstances are all against Mr. Holt on this
point, and leave but little doubt that he was
fully in accord with the Paesident in driving
“the cattle to the slaughter-pen.” Ah, that
slaughter-pen ! Think of the Chief of the
Bureau of Military Justice comparing the
spot where the condemned met their fate to a

developments which were hourly expected. )
Three days later their rauks were again di- j
minished, and Captain Fry and his brave
companions went forth to death. From this
time forward the prisoners were in hourly
fear for their own safety. Their fears were
not unknown to their captors; and again
and again they were told that the day of their
death bad come. Not only were they told
that they must die, but tho priests were ad
mitted to their presence, and on several occa
sions they made what they supposed to be
their dying confessions. As the time ap
pointed for their death arrived none of the
Spaniards appeared to lead them forth to exe
cution, and they were led to suppose that tho
day for their death had been postponed.
Again and again was this torture inflicted
upon them, and every possible means for in
creasing their mental suffering was resorted
to.

LED FORTH TO LIBERTY.
It was at sunrise on the morning of Thurs
day, Dec. IS, that the remaining prisoners of
the Virginius were led forth from their dun
geon, as they expected, to meet the fate of
their companions. Their inhuman captors
were still deceiving them on every possible
occasion, and torturing them both in body
and mind.
They had b?en told that morning to prepare
for death; the priests had entered the prison
and had administered the solemn duties of
their office, and they were led forth in the same
manner as Kyauand Fry had been a few weeks
before.
The Juniata was lying a short distance away
in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, with the
United States flag flying. The prisoners were
placed on boant a scow and towed out in the
stream, and in a few minutes swung around
the stern of tho United States steamer, and
were then no longer the masters of their ctno
tiou.
TRIUMPHANT JOY.
As one of their number s'ood out promi
nently among bis comrades, aud as the truth
flashed upon him, ho gave one triumphant
shout, and swung his hat wildly in the air. It
was the single spark needed to fire a maga
zine, and his shout had not died on tho air
when it was taken up and echoed and re
echoed by his companions, and tiie shores
and the harbor of Santiago rang with cheers
for the flig of the United States. Tue Span
ish officers looked on iu moody siletce, but
made no other demonstration of their disap
proval. Like madmen tho liberated cap
tives rushed upon the decks of the Juni
ata. Like children they cried when
they found themselves free from
their barbarian persecutors. They
were hungry, and many of them nearly naked, j i«u
They were clothed ouly with the thin, tattered
garments which had formed their priaongarb.
There on th? deck were ranged the abundant
stores which the foresight of the officers of
the Juniata had provided, and the needs of
all were abundantly supplied. Many of them
clung to their ragged prison garments most
tenaciously, and looked on with almost
mournful eyes when they saw them thr ».vu
away. Said an officer of the Juniata: “It

Make Twain and the Ladies.—Mark
Twain, at a public dinner in London recently,
responded to the toast: “The Ladies,” and in
the coarse of hie remarks said: “ Ah. you

of pain, what a great tidal ware of grief swept
over ns all when Joan of Aro fell at Waterloo.

libel that woman is extravagant in dress, when
we can look back and call to mind our simple
and lowly Mother Eve arrayed in her modifi
cation of the Highland costume? ’
