Thi popultr pUco of amusement wis well filled Uteveuiu;, with an appreciate audience, to welcome the charming comedienne and songstress, Mrs. W. II Leighton. who bts lee the reigning f irorite for the lst three years in California and the eccentric Yankee Locke. Mrs. Leighton took the houe by storm, in her character of "Sally," in the comedy of "Stage Struck," and the will, undoubtedly, draw crowded bou?es during her engagement. To night three attractive pieces are on the bill. Seats should be secured at once. JSP There is one feature abont Indianapolis that is not generally known, and not fully appreciated, and that i that nearly every man of family in the city is a property owner. If you examine the tax book, you will find that a very large proportion of citizens pay tax on real estate more, we ventuie the assertion, thin in any city of this size in the union. This accounts for the great scarcity of houses to rent. Tbe greater somber of dwelling bouses are owned by the occupants, and few men build houses of this kind to rent. During tbe p;;t year tbe most of the houses built have been either by the owners for their own ue, or by partita for sle, and cot for rent, and the demand for houes has brought purchasers This gives to mot of our citiieus a property interest in the growth and prosperity of the city, and makes them permanent rei-iJcnt not merely transient dwellers, who can take up their baggage and travel at a day 'a notice. Tbe coQscquenco Is that every citizen feels a joint interest in everything that tends to promote the advancement and good goveruu.cut of our citv The work of bouldc-ring and cuibing Circle street, and the four Mijire eonueotin with it, has fiirly commenced. This is an improvement long needed, and if it is well dot.e will be of great public utility. While cn the subject cf boulders we will sy what is tbe general views of those capable of forming a correct opinion, that the b-oul deritfj in this city, so far. hssbecn miserably done. The pebbles used are entire! v too small to resist t'.e heavy weights that pass over them, and the ground is cot properly packed before the stone? arc laid, and the consequence U that abeaty team can cat through any of the newly bouiJer cd streets. This should cot be. Enough is piid for the work to insure a good j b, and the coun cil shoold see that the property owners that pay for these Improvements have it dote in a durable manner. We hope that the character of the work oi our street will be improved, and would Qgcet tNateome competent person be employed as a superintendent of all public improvement", with power to stop work unless it is done in a proper manner. After tbe above was written we see that the council have authorized the employment of a competent man f.r the purpose we suggest.

Mr Joaneou, senior, counsel of Mrs. Surratt, thia morning, when tbe whole of tbe testimony rendered by Mr. Welcbman h id been received from the records, applied to be permitted to ask of him cume qucstioi s before he retired. This was objected to by Major Gen. Wallace, the president, wfio remarked .that the witness had beeu already examined by couusel, and a fair opportunity afforded. f be juJge advocate general then asked if it was tobe a croes-examination, aud being told by the counsel that it was, the court, under the advocate's tuggetioQ, thought, aa he could call up the witneaC8 bcrcalter ot the defendant, that it would be an economy ot time. Oen. WalUce withdrew his objection, adJiDg. however, that he did o only for this time, on the ground that tbe?e ejections would prove iuteruiinb!e, unless stopped by aome ru'.e, after tbe counsel have once bad a full opportunity for cro-j examination. Examined by Hon. Rererdy Johnson. Question. I understood tou to sxj on Saturday, that you went with Mrs Surratt the first time, ou the Tuesday before the a?assination, in a bujrgy. Do you recollect whether you stopped on the way to Surrattsriüe t Answer. Ye-, sir. (J. Where f-.ho stopped oa two or three occasion? A. Yes, sir. Q. Did you stop at TJniontown? A.

I hive met him three times. Q Did vou know Liu, a the keeper of the hotel? A i knew him a the mn that retted Mrs. Surrat's house from her, because I copied oflF the instrument. Q. Do you recollect seeing him go by m a buggj on the way from Wahirij;tori lo Surrttsv ilie. on Tue-daj? A. Yes air; we met his carriage; it drove past tLu tu?cy; Mrs. S put br Wad out aLd had a coveritOu wtb him. Q D.d yuj be ir it? f Booksellers and atationers,

opposm xew Toai stoke.

A. Xo, air. Q. Did you bear aay thing laid about ahooticg irons ? Question objected to by Aianl JoJfe Advocate BiDgbam. The question wn then withdrawn. Witneea. I heard nothing mentioned about shooting iroofl Mra. Sirratt I poke to lira. Affutt aboot hiring thfa man Howell take the oath of allegiance, and set released, and raitf she waa oin to apply to General Auur or Judge Sumner for that purpose. Q. How Jon? m that conversation between Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Surratt on that occjsion ? A. That I coulJ not lay exactly; I do cot think it waa more than 5 or 8 minutes; I do not carry a watch, and had no precise means of knowing. By Judge Holt I understooou to Bay vou did Dot hear the whole of this conversation. "

A. 1 did trot hear the conversrtion between Mr. Llovd and Mrs. Surratt; Mrs. Surratt spoke to Mr. Lloyd at some distance from the bugy, and I did not Lear it. By Mr. Johnson. ; ', - Q Do you recollect whether it wa raining at that time 3 o'clock? A. I don't think it waa raining at that time; it was a cloudy, murky day; I can't sav whether it wa9 raining or cot; I don't remember. The reading of tbe record wis resumed, and being finished by half-past one. the court took a recess. After recess, Mr. John M. Llodd was recalled, and asked if be could identify tbe caribines shown him as the ones referteJ to in his previous testimony? Witnesa The one with the cover on I do not recognize; I don't think the cover looks the same; it was a kind of gray cloth; rhe other looks like the one I saw; I recognize the fixture for breach loadiug, which attracted my attention.and which I examine!. If the court will allow I wish to make a statement. When I waa examined before I slated it was Monday when I met Mrs. Surratt at Uniontown. I was confused by my being summoned in conrt on two Mondays; the first Monday I was sum moned, I did not go, and met Mrs Surratt at Uniontown next diy after I weat to court, and consequently it must have been Tuesday after the second Monday. I testified in my last examination that I was not certain whether I carried the bundle given me by Mrs. Surratt up stairs or not. I cannot low recollect distiLctlv, but think I laid it on the table in the dining room. By Judge Holt You are sure that it was tbe tame bundle that you examined here? A. Yes, sir; I am Tcry sure It was the same bundle. By Mr. Aiken. Did I understand you to say that you were in liquor at the time you bad this conversation with Mrs. Surratt? Ans. I was somewhat in liquor, as I think I told you on Saturday. Q And on that account it id that you are at fait in your testimony and wish to make explanations? A. I was not positive whether I carried the bundle up stairs or not. The question waa unexpected, if I had expected it I might have recollected more distinctly in my former examination.

with u .Lecgblm on tbt Tbcnday previous to tteissnslcitlon: they slept at the Metropolitan hotel, and ia tbe morning O'Lu0rblio weutop stairs to see Booth, and staid some time; did not ee him sgaia until eveniog; O'Laugblin went to Baltimore io tbe p no., of Saturday, after tbe asiiftinatioa; he didn't show auch excitement over the assassination, but bis brother a.ld tbey would be after him on account of bis intimacy with Booth. At the time the party went down from Baltimore, on Thursday, it was arranged tbey should go back oa Ftidiy. I saw no diflerance in tbe conduct of O'Laugblin from bis usual appearance. He thought it was liquor which caused them to stay later than they had intended. When tbey reached Baltimore O'Laugblin' brother told bim that O'Laugblin's party had been looking for him and would prob ably arrest him. ltceas remembered be remarked that be did not want to be arrested at home as it would be tbe death of bis mother, and announced bis intention of o:ng elsewhere. Witness testified, while in Washington Thürs diy night, they were together most of the time, and he -did not know ot bis going elsewhere that night. L O. Henderson testified, be was acquainted with O'Liughlin, and that be told him on Friday morning, he was to sec Booth; he didn't know whether be saw bim or cot, and could not tell what his buioess was. Samuel R. Strong testified, he had known O'Laugblin for several yenrs, and saw bim with Booth early in April. The association between them appeared to be of an intimate character. Saw them at one time talkjos earnestly, another person, whom he did cot know, being present; witcess thought one of the prisoners was tbe person talking with Booth and O'Langhlin, but would not point him out, as he could cot swear to bim. J. K. Sprague, clerk at tbe KirkwooJ House, testified that he wis present when the room was broken open after the assassination and saw the revolver which was found there. David Stanton testified be saw O'Lauglin at tbe house of the secretary of war the night before the assassination, and asked him what his business was, and be inquired for tbe secretary of war.
