it Is a question of great importance to
' the citizens. If this court has not the juris
diction to grant tho writ, tliero should be
some legMative action, for without it the
citizens or suitors would be without reme
dy, as wo nave no statute authorizing a
mandamiM against a Circuit Judge in such
oases. Section 2,903 of the Code provides ;
" The fects of the case being fairly stated
in the bill of exceptions, the Judge shall
sign the' same, which thereupon become a
part ot the record of the cauie."
A mandamus is defined to beliy the com

refusing to sign' the bill of exceptions; and
to determine this qufestion we must look to
the petition and .the facts embraced therein.
He overs, on the 15th of February, 1SGG,
he entered his motion to Ret aside tho judg
ment of Brownlow against him and vacate)
the proceedings. At a subsequent day 6f
the term he entered a similar motion, "flnd
through a press of business of the eohrfc
the motions were continued until the June
term, 186G. During tho session, the first
motion-to set mido the judgement was ar
gued by the counsel, and overruled by (he
court.
The petition was not filed upon the hear
ing of this motion, nor affiidavits read -or
presented to the court. At a isnbsequfent
day of tho term the second juption, similar
in character to the first was called up. The
petition was not filed ho Bays in his affida
vit. We had the petitions ahd affidavits
in support of the motion and offered to
read them to the court, bnt the court refused
to hear them, and said he would sign no
bill of exceptions in the case, though tlie
court had overruled the first motion made
to vacate and set aside thejildgement. He
presented the second motion to bo entered
of retord at the February term, 18C6, and
continued it to tho June term, 18CQ, and
entertained H and acted upon it, ' Thongh
this was irregular, tho petitioner had the
right in support of it to present his peti
tion and affidavits, and if the court refused
to hear them, he had a right to have them
incorporated in the bill of exceptions.
Though the first motion was overruled, it
was just Preceding the second motion and
at the same terra.
The court entertained the motion and
acted upon it, and jt was his duty lob ave
heard such petition and affidavit as were
offered by counsel in support of it. The
declaration Of the Judge, as stated .in
the petition, that ho would sign no' bill, of
exceptions in the cause wascooclusive Upon
the petition, and his only remedy is by
mandamus to compel him. "The law pro
vides, in judgments by atfaehriitnt against
non-resident debtors, or where (hoi party
has merely removed himself or property
from, the State, the judgment may be Bet
a-ide within twelve months upon good
cause shown." The petitioner states hp
was a non-resident. We can only look to
Hie petition for the facts in this motion.
Being a non-resident he Tiad the right with
in twelve months from tho rendition of the
judgment to make bis application to set it
aside, and in support of that motion to fjle
his petition and affidavits, that the court
might judge of the Miffieiengy of the cause
shown, and if the court should be of opin
ion they were not sufficient, he had the
right to have them incorporated in his bill
of exceptions and made a part of the re
cord. In determining this we can only look to
the faaw stated in the petition and the affi
davits supporting it. The law required
thp Judge to sign the bill of exceptions if
the racw are eprrecjty set out.
The dcclarationof-ih5 Judge, " he would
not sign any bill of exceptions," as appeals
from the statement of the petition, were riot
warranted by law.

The Irish are warned that the English with

that they will deal with rebels in Ireland as
they dealt with them In -India, and later in

in their threats, or warning? of the inevita

soil, that contrasts strangely with English
sympathy, more or Jess actively expressed,
for all rebels but their own.
It is a fact that Ireland is in a state of

Worse than all, as the 'limes points out

Isverything is left to the government: and

A special London teleeratu to the Dublin
Freeman's Journal has the the following:
London, .Nov. 30 evening. It js posi
tively stated that thegovernmenthas received
reliable infonriation that the Head Centre,
James Stephens, if not already in London
Is hourly expected to arrive here. A re
ward of 2,000 has consequently been is
sued for his apprehension, and constables' in
plain clothe?, provided with photographs
of the fugitive, have been dispatched to all
the likely ports pt disembarkation and, to
the various railway stations.
THE REWARD FOR III3 CAPTURE.
From the London Globe, Nov. 30.
The announcement of the departure; of
James Stephens, the Fenian Head Centre
trom America, and of his intended return
to Ireland, has been met on the part of the
government by an offer of the largo reward
of 2,000 for his apprehension that is,
1,000 for such information as will lead to
his apprehension, and a further 1,000 to
any ono who may arrest Stephens. This
notorious conspirator is described as a man
about forty ycarsof age, five feet seven inches
higji, stontwith broad, high shoulders, fair
hair, bald all round the top of his head,
wears all his board, which is sandy, slightly
tinged with gray, and long under chn,
broad ferchead, tender eyes, and has a pe
culiar habit of closing the left eye when
speaking ; high cheek bones, rather good
countenance, and his hands and leet arc re
markably small and well formed. The
government deserve? great credit for the
promptitude with which they have ncted
in this mattter, and the largeness of the re
ward offereil jnstifies the hgpe that if ever
Stephens again steps his foot on British
soil he will be arrested before he can go 'to
Ireland to renew XliO trouble which Fen'mn-
Jsni has produced in that island.
THE STATE II V.ST OF MAKIL', OX
WHICH StmnATTvVAS AltKESTKh.
The foreign newc by the cable stated that
the man who gave the information which
led to the arrest o( Surratt is a French Cana
dian named St. farie. ITc was formerly a
Union soldier, and afterwards perved in the
Papal Zouaves. Both he and Surratt, it .is
alleged, were in lore with the same lady in
Washington, and St. Marie betrayed Surratt
through jealousy. The following is said to
Je tho affidavit of St. Marie, On which Sur
ratt was. first arrested while serving ai a
Papal Zouave:
" I was living in Maryland, at a wnall
village called Kllangnwan, or Little I eras,
about twenty-Cve or thirty miles from Bal
timore, where 1 was engaged as teacher for
a criod of about five months. I there and
then got acquainted with Lewis J. Weicb
man and John II. Surratt, who came to
that locality to pay a .visit to the parish
priest, Kt that first interview' a great deal
was said about tho war and slavery, the
sentiments expressed by these two individu
als being more than Focessionist. In the
course of the conversation I remember Sur
ratt to have said that President Lin
coln would certainly pay for all the
men that were slain during the war.
About a month after 1 removed to Wash
ington, at tlie instigation -of Weichman,
anil got a situation as tutor , where
he was himself engaged. Surratt visited us
weekly, and he once offered to send me
South, but I declined. I did not remain
more than a month at Washington, noticing
able to agree with Weichraan, and enlisted
in the army of the North, as stated in my
first statement in writing to General King.
1 have met Surratt in Italy, at a small town
called Vellclri. lie is now" known under
the. name of John Watson. I recognized
him before he made himself known to me,
and told him privately, 'You aro John
Surratt, tho person I have known in Mary
land.' He acknowledged he was, and beg
ged of uie to keep the thing secret. After
some conversation we spoke of the unfor
tunate affair of the assajtiination of Presi
dent Lincoln, and these were his words ;
' Damn the Yankees, they have killed my
mother. But I have done them as much
harm as I could. We.havc killed Lincoln,
the niggers' friend.1 He thenvaid, speak- !
ing of his mother. ' Mad it not been for
me and that coward, Weichman, my mother
would be living now. It was fear made
him speak; had he kept his tongue, there
was no danger for him. But if ever I return
to America and meet him elsewhere, I shall
kill him.' He then said he was in the
secret service of the South, and Weich
man. who was in some department

' of whom are still in New York and others

I am aware that money is sent
i. .
to him yet from London. Wherf T left
Canada, he said, 1 had but little money,
but I had letter for a party in London X
was in disguise, with dyed hair and false
beard ; that party jent me to a hotel, where
Tie told me to remain till I would hear from
him; after a few weeks he'eame and pro
posed to me to go to Spain, but 1" declined,
and asked to go to Paris. He gave him
seventy pounds, with a letter of introduc
tion, to a party there, who sent him to
Rome, where he joined the Zouaves. He
saya he can get money in Rome' at r any
time. I believe that he is protected by the
clergy, and that the .murder was the result
of a deep laid plot, not only against the
life of President Lincoln, but against the
existence of the republic, as we 'are aware
that the priesthood and royally are; and
always kave been, opposed to liberty. That
such men as Surratt, Booth, Weichraan
and others, should, of their own" ac
cord, plan and execute the infernal plot
which resulted in the death of President
Lincoln, is impossible. There are others
behind the curtain who have to make these
scoundrels act. I have also asked Win if
he knew Jefferson Davis. He Said not, but
that he had acted under instructions of
persons under his immediate orders. Being
asked if Jeff. Davis had anything to do
with the assassination, ho said: '1'am not
going tcr tell yon.' My impression is that
he brought the order from Richmond, as
he was in the! habit of going thcreVeekly.
He tnnst have wished the others; to do it,
for when the event taok place he told me
be was in New' Ydrkv prepared to fly as
soon as the deed vras done. He says he
does not regret what has taken place, and
that he will visit New York in a year or
two, as there Li a heavy shipping firm there
who had much to do with the South, and
he is surprised that they have not been sus
pected. This is the exact truth of what I
Know about Surratt. More I conld not
learn, oeing afraid to awaken his suspicions,
and further I do not say.'

that you will not be haneed. It would bo
a glorious death for you; and a life that

But whatever be your fate, pray God that
you will act a brave, dauntless part to the

in which you are plaeed, but your country

Dear Sir: I have examined your Stomach Bit
ters carefully, and find it what you represent it
to be. The high order which the ingredients
going into it take in the Materia Mediea, as well
as the most happy proportioned combination of
substances, make your Bitters far superior to any
similar preparation in the country. The fact
that you use only the purest llourbon Whisky
must necessarily recommend your Hitters lu
another point, especially as far as wholesome
ness and portability are taken into considera
tion. 1 was well pleased to see in yoar esUlx
lishmcnt the nrncess of manuEacturinif mnr
liittcrt carried on by way of displacement, which''
not only gives you a better proauct, out also
recommends itself by clearer operation. . .

truly the best strengthening and.' appetizing

have ever known used Or afforded to the papllo :
and I would say to all those similarly afflicted
that if they would be cured and have the disease
thoroughly eradicated, from the system, to- use
your Bitters, and be convinced of their wonder
