Iteaplf nwliast4 2lllllgaii II orer Sentence Commuted. "IiMAsarous, May 1C A flpat:h Irom Wahirgton to General Ilovey announces a suspension of the execution of Howies and Milligan, until the grit of June, and a commutation of Horsey 's entence to imprioca:ctt for life." We End tbe foregoing telegraphic di."patcb in the Cincinnati papers of yesterday morning. How came the content of a private diptcb to be thus publicly announced? What right had a te!erphic operator, up bia own responsibility to g've publicity to telegrams addrecsed to an individual? If the information in question was intendei for the public eve, all who contribute to support the public dispatches were equally entitled to the information. If not, the public use ot it waa a breach of truit, of confidence, of fworn obligations, that deserve a proper rebuke. If confidence is to be violated by telegraphic operators with impunity, if private d'upaub es are to be subject to inspection by pirties not connected with the oßce, tbe value of the tetegrapa is in a measure destroyed. Suppose a party desires to communicate fome commercial information to a di.tant point to advance Lis private interests, it Is his private property. Hut if operators are permitted to communicate tbis intelligence to other individuals, the information becomes of little importance. " There is entirely too much looseuess in the management of the telegraph business Outside pirties ar permitted acces to the operating room of the office, and thus private dispatches are examined, and their contents communicated. And tbe di?pttchea to the associated ptea are private property. The operators have no right to communicate their content to any persons but these who own them. As to tbe case in point, we understand that the dispatch was not received by General Ho vkt, to wbosn it was addre-sed, until jesterdty morning, and without a.-kiag his consent, its content were u-ed tbe night betöre. Both the public interest and private rights de m ind that telegraphic operators shonld be held to a trict discharge of the trust confided to them. There ehould be no exposure of private or public disp itches to an j jtertont, except to the employ s of the othce and the pirties owning them.

The report of preat destitution iu the !tte, no hordes nor mules, tools, nor seed for plantiug me confirmed. The poverumeut ha been advi-ed that authorities at Na.-sau extended coaling facilities to the Stonewall which are refused to United State ships. The testimony before the military commission to-day, thows the whole plan for the capture of Booth, making it apparent that we have the best detective system iu the world. Gen. Sherman ia very b:tter against tbe authors of the assaults on him. A letter Irom Jeff. Davis found on Booth's body, amply justifies the charge of conspiracy to murder made againt him. The Fo-t' special t-aya Jttl Davi will probably not be tried with the assassins. It i not yet determined whether he will be arraigned for murder or treason; if tbe foimer be w ill have a sepa rate trial.

Mr. Johnson takes the eround that the oath presented by the constitutional convention was illegal and immotal. An irjunction would be violated by destroying it, because the exsction of the oath was beyond the authority of the convention. Williams testiäed as to the pursuit of the s s-sas-ins. He went to Surattsville. Thev went to Dr. Mudd's April ltrtb. I asked Dr ' Mudd if any strangers bid been that way, and be said no. lie denied that two men had been there one with a broken leg He said be bad heard of the assassination in church on Saturday morning. He appearel uneasy and unwilling to give us information; I saw bim again on Friday tbe 21st. We went then to arret bim. I asked bim again about the two men. He then said he bad eeen them, but sai l they were not Bojlh and Harroid, and we showed him Booth's picture, and be said at first be did not recollect the features, bjt that it looked like Booth acro-9 the ejes. We then searched the bouse Mrs. Mudd siidone of the men left a boot up atairs, which was brought down, and had J. Wilkes Booth written on the inside. Mr. Mudd said the doctor had set the leg of the ow ner. Dr. Mudd iaid they had left betweeu three and four o'clock in the morning, and they came about daybreak Dr. Mudd said they came on horseback, and Mrs. Mudd said they left on foot. I believe that Dr. Mudd said the it jured man w ent off ou crutches made by one ot his men. O.i cross examination the witness said Dr. Mudd said the two men knocked at tbe door, and he looked out of tbe window, and asked who they were; they replied they were friends, and wanted to pet in, and Dr. Mudd came down stairs; with the assistance of the young man he helped tbe inj u ted m,in from his horse and took hitu to bis parlor and placed him ou the sofa; he described the strangers; one had jwhlskers, but could not tell whether they were natural; be told the direction they took, aud we found their tracks; I was one of the party that went to WUmerV bouse late iu the evening of Wciocsdaj. The court hero took a recess. Atter the reassembling of tbe court Simon (JarribOh testified as lo the interview with Mudd on the IrUh and 21. lie wa-s one of the p:rty who went iu search of Booth, aud Mibsfjuently to the arrest of Mudd. The tettimouy is some what similar to that of Lieut.

Nothing uew was elieited in the cross-examination, eicept that Lloyd made no tatemenl iu reference to'his business with Mr. Surratt. W V.

Since the 2.nh of October, he had been in Caroline county, as commissary in the confederate service, when on tbe way, in April, to Farquhar county. We pot dowu to Fort Conway, and on the lbth of April, saw a wagon on the wharf. There were three of us. Wc rode down to tbe wharf, and before we reached the wagon, we saw a man get out.aßd it seemed to ua put his hind in his boenni. He came to where we were and ?aid, "Whit command do you belong to?" Rujrgle -id, "Mos by's command." Then he Maid, "Where are yon going?" Rugbies teplicd, "It is a secret where we are going." He said he belong to A. P. Hill" corp. Hia brother was wounded before Richmond, and he a.ked if we would tot tike him to Linn's. Hsrrold then at-ked u to drink. We declined. I went and tied the J.orses. He came and touched me, and said, "I suppose you are raising a crowd to go south. 1 would like to with you " I suid I could go with no man I knew nothing about, and be made this remark: We are the assssains of President Lincoln.' We were shocked. I made no reply. Lieut. Ruggles was near by watering bis horse, so 1 called him aud he came up. Booth came up, and Harroid introduced him after he had introduced himself. We went across the river, Booth riding Rucglcs' horse Booth said he wanted to pass under the name of Boyd. We went to a lady's house and asked if she could take in a wounded soldier; she at first consented and then said she would not; we then went up to Mr. Garrett's, where we left Booth; Harroid and all of us went to within a few miles of Bowling Green; next day Harroid returned to wards Garrett's, and that was tils' last J saw of him uutil after he was captured.

ficers tod crifitw b tbe lite rebel service who

have consented to the murder and starvation oT our men when prisoners of war." It is understood that the president agreed with the delegation, and will proceed to act upon tbe:r representations by duecticg that testimony be taken on the suhject. Tbe Tribune's V ashington special write as follows: The counsel defending tbe conspirators are to be paid, if paid at all, by mocey ralsedn Baltimore for the parpese. On a visit to tbe theater, a close Inspection of tbe excavation behind the door in which & bar was inserted te prevent ingress while tbe assassin was doing bis work revealed tbe fact that it bad been made some time before and concealed. Neatly fitting pieces of wall rper were pasted over it. Nothkg has been changed in the theatre aince the assassination. Tbe stage scenery for tbe American Cousin is set just as it was left, witb a red curtained recess in the centre, used by Asa Trenchard. On cross examination, Jett said Booth was not present when Harroid said we are the ateas sins of the president. He and Bainbridge came up after and was much agitated and did not intend telling it. A few minutes after bia first remark Harroid said, yonder is the man, J, Wilkes Booth, who killed the president Lieut. Col. Conger testified to finding Jett in the hotel in Bowling Green in bed. He put oo his clothes. I asked bim where were the two men who came with bim across the river from Port Royal. Jett said can I see you alone; I said yes. Lieuts. Baker ar.d Doherty went out of the room. Jett said I know who you want. I can tell where they are now. They are on the road to Port Royal, about three miles from there, at the house of Mrs Garrett. 1 will get them. I told him I bad just come from there, and be eecmed lor a few moments considerably embarrassed, and said be thought we came from Rich mond.but if we bad pased by Garrett'a be could not where the men were I told bim it did not make any difference we could go back. Juut before we got to the house, Jutt, who was riding with me, said we are near, we go through the gate, let us stop and look around; Jutt went with Lieut. Baker and myself to fiud the gate; L then went buck for tbe cavalry aud we returned very raj and a guard was stationed around the building; when I went to the house Lieut. Baker wa telling someone to strike a light and come out; tbe first individual I taw was said to have been Garrett, I Said to bim "Where are the men who stopped at your house?" "They have gone to the woods." He then commenced to tell me they came there without consent. , 1 said "1 don't want aay long stories from you; just want to kuow where the men have gone." He commenced to tell tue tbe same thing over agaiu. 1 told one man to bring me a larut, aud threatened to bang the man to a treo unless he told what be knew. Oue of his sons came in and said if 1 would not hurt him the old man would tell me what I wanted to know. He said tbe men were ia the baru, and I weut there and beard bo me one walking round iu the barn, and told young Garrett to go and bring out their arms. He (n&le some objections, but Lieut. Baker said be must o. He weut in and came out, saying oue o( the meu accused him of betraying ihetn, and threatened to choot bim. Lieut. Baker had previously called out to the men io. the bru thatouo of the Garretta w as coming iu to get their arms. Baker told the men thai if they did not surrender in live minuted, be would fire the bam. Booth then asked who we were,nd was told we knew who they were and they must come out. Booth said, give us a little time consider ten or filteen iu mutes. He asked who we were. 1 told Baker not to let him know; if be should take us lor rtbels, we would take advantage oi it, but we would not lie to bim. Baker told bu it make no difference who we were, he must come out. The balance of Conger's testimony ia an account of the bhooting and death of Booth, situi lar to the accounts already published. He identified Harroid as the man be took out, ou cross examuiarlon. Conger said Booth said of Harroid, here is a niau who want to come out, and 1 think he aided, w ho had nothing to do with it. Alter that Harroid come out. The teitimouy oi Sergeant Bosloo Corbctt was next given: Booth called out: "I declare be fore my Maker, this man Harroid is innocent; Corbctt recognized Harroid as tbe man takeu out of thebaro. His testimony as to the shooting of Booth discovered nothing not already known. John Fletche'r testified that be was the fote man at Naylor's stable, and new the prisoner at Surott. He came to the stable on the 3d of April with another gentleman and two horses. They put up the horses. The other gentleman said he was going to Philadelphia, and would leave the horses in Atzerott's care to sell. Have never seen him aince. We kept the hordes at the stable, aud sold one of them. Atzeroth took tbe other horse, a brown one, away; didn't see bim again till 10 o'clock, on the 1-ltb; came in with a dark bay mare and said he had sold tbe other horse and bought this mate aud bridle; be wished to put up the mare, which I did; at half past six be came for tbe mare; be was away for three qaurters of an hour, aud returned and told me not to take tbe saddle and bridle off, and he asked if I could keep the stable open till 10 o'clock. I told bim yes. At 10 o'clock be came for more; we went aiid-took a driuk, and when we returned said if anything happened to-night you will bear. 1 thouttbt him halt-tight and paid no attention to bim. He mounted the mare, and I thought I would like to ride that niaie. Washington, May 17.
