The Re-establishment of Order.
The surrender of Johnston’s army, fol
lowing close upon the surrender of the
forces of Lee, has been caused by the
overwhelming superiority of our armies,
and the exhaustion of the resources of the'
rebellion. The Confederacy dies, but be
cause its leadens were too weak to preserve
its existence, and we were strong enough
.to kill it- France, after Waterloo had ter
minated twenty years of almost continuous
warfare, was not more completely bereft
of her fighting population than the disloyal
■States are of “ white men capable of
beating arms” at this moment. The
haughty assailants of the Republic axe now
humble recipients of its mercy, and they
are virtually a conquered and subjugated
.people.
But although the surrender of the op
posing armies was prompted by no re
awakened affection for the Union, the train
•of circumstances which induced _it will
secure a lasting reipect for the power of
the Federal Government. We trust it will
prove an easier task to re-establish order
than has been generally Supposed. Of
course, it will be impossible to maintain an
organized rebel army in. the field, unless,
indeed, a desperate Attempt should be made
to hold together for a time the troops who
are stationed if Texas. But they will he
unable to make a protracted resistance to
the immense pressure that can easily be
brought to bear against them. The soldiers
recently paroled are heartily tired of fight
ing against the Union, and there are few
or none left at their homes to renew a hope
less contest. Guerilla warfare will he con
demned by all who have the slightest re
gard for law and order, irrespective of
former opinions, and any miscreants who
attempt it will have no belligerent rights to
save them from the gallows. f .
The general functions of the Federal Go
vernment can easily be resumed. We
have captured and now hold the- forts
seized at the commencement of the war.
In the ports of the South we can either col
lect duties unmolested or prohibit foreign
commerce at our pleasure. As to the post
office routes, their re-establishment is rather
a boon to be granted than a Federal right
that we need to be anxious to exercise.
They can be reserved as a reward for good
behavior, for the citizens of the disloyal
States will reap the principal share of their
benefits.* The Federal Courts can be con
yenefi in cities under our absolute control,
and they can easily be aided by whatever
v military force is necessary to enforce their
decisions. For the collection of internal
revenue a very summary system can be
adopted.
More difficulty is to be apprehended in
the practical enforcement Of the Emanci
pation Proclamation than in the discharge
■of any other duty of the Federal Govern
ment; for at points beyond our lines,
during the continuance of the war, the
slaves have been kept in a state of subjec
tion. A few significant examples, in deal-
ing with prominent upholders of slavery,
however, may have a very wholesome
effect. Every rational man must see that
that infamous institution is doomed.
Even Breckinridge Is reported to have
recently stated that the jorspbsed Oonsti
j-Autional amendmKaJ perfectly fair,
eifectnallv dispose' of
ihewhole subject; while Davis is alleged
ito have said, several years ago, that
■ggjf slavery has outlived its usefulness.”
unflf it was formerly difficult to protect the
peculiar institution,” on account of the
f hostility of the North to the rendition of
the few fugitives who escaped, what will
it become with the wide extension of the
holders of freedom, and with the remain
ing slaves instructed and encouraged by
the events of the war, and aware that the
power which has crushed their masters is
ready and anxious to secure their de
liverance? Any attempt to perpetuate
human bondage, under such circumstances
can only lead to innumerable escapes, or
‘ to terrible insurrections.
Political Soothsaying.
The assertion of the London Times, after
the fall of Richmond, the flight of Dayi3,
and the surrender of Lee, that “the real
•troubles of the North are but just begin
ning,” shows -with •what difficulty the
anti-American politicians on the other
aide of the Atlantic accept the de
feat of the rebels and the ruin of the
41 so-called Southern Confederation.” No
matter what may happen here, they
continue to maintain, and may even par
tially believe, that all is for the best, and
that defeat is but a particular phase of suc
cess. And this, because
*• Faith, fanatic faith, once wadded fait
To one dear falaehood, hags it to the last.' ’
As for the “real troubles” so gravely
predicted for us, we can meet, “ ana, by op
posing, end them,” whenever, if ever, they
arrive. But the dark prophecy may hot be
more true than the conviction in the mind
of one Mrs. Sandiman, in a Scottish ham
let, a century ago. Mother of one son, she
had a sort of gloomy and apprehensive
satisfaction in predicting that each sueoes-
Mve attack of the illnesses to which children
are liable must certainly destroy him. After
the boy had the measles, she predicted that,
the whooping cough would doubtless prove
fatal, and so on, the child passing safely
through every illness, and finally attaining
a vigorous manhood, when he became
engaged to an amiable lady of beauty,
accomplishments, and fortune. His
anxious mother, when congratulated on
her son’s approaching happiness, shook her
head and said, “Itis quite true that my
Sandy has miraculously survived every
ailment of infancy and youth, but, bless
your heart, his real trmbles are only just
beginning— for he is’ going to be married.”
We suspect that The Times must have heard
« of the auld Scotch mother, for it quotes her
very words about her son’s TJnion and ap
plies them to ours.
It is but fair to add that, after much
hesitation, The Times acknowledges that
the game of the South is played out, and
advises its quondam friends to surrender,
on whatever terms the Union will give
them. .
The Shadow on the Wall.
In the Parisian Journal Des Debats, of
the 14th ultimo, there are some interesting
speculative opinions respecting the event
of the French 'occupation of Mexico, and
its results wheu tJLe unity of the United
r States is again restored. With a species of
prevision that the rebellion of the Southern
fitates is drawing to a close, it looks on the
attitude of France with regard to the
avowed policy of this country in a doubt
Which is somewhat akin to fear. After
giving the reasons which are immediately
•opposed to the withdrawal of the French
troops, it continues thus : “If we are stili
in Mexico when peace is re-established
between the North and South of the
great American republic, may we not
fear that we shall find ourselves drawn
into a conflict with the United States ?
The Minister of State and M. Cobta cer
tainly assert that this danger is purely ima
ginary ; but that assurance, which we
should be glad to see confirmed by events,
' can only have for the present the very
limited value of a personal opinion.”
’ The Opinion Rationale takes almost the
' -gaine view, and Betties the question mooted
iby Mr; Coeta, of the Army of the United
• 'gtetes. being a mercenary one, by the fol
- i ow ing briefly honorable statement: “Offl
- c i a i figures enable us to affirm that the
• wrihvin question consists-of seventy-six
-L-. cent. of. native Americans, nineteen
Sv. cent, of nationalized strangers, and
w&vfivc per‘cent of real foreigners
• Son taken by public opinion in Pans,
which really represents the political in
telligence of France, it is obvious that
the French mind regards the occupa
tion of Mexico very dubiously. These
articles appeared on April 14, when the
intelligence of the Fall of Richmond had
not yet reached the European capitals.
It has reached them now, and although as
yet the effect of this news upon the mind
of the French Emperor is unknown, we
should desire Ms attention to be given to
that shadow upon the wall which is daily
growing into the bolder and more ominous
relief indicative of our-future destiny,
not only upon this continent, but with re
gard also to the more exclusively European
politics of the varions Governments on the
further side of the Atlantic.
Imperious Authorship.
When a Monarch writes a book, he Cer
tainly ought to understand that its publiea
tien places him upon a level with other
authore, whose works are liable to jour
nalistic criticism. With the sceptre in his
hand, lie may be, and is, a power—where
he reigns. By the act of publication,
which throws Ms book before the world,
to purchase or neglect it, to like or dislike
it, to praise or censure it, he descends from
Ms vantage-ground, enters the arena like
any other writer, casts aside the purple and
the diadem, and substitutes the pen for the
sceptre. He cannot complain, more than
any other author, if the critics should find
faults in what he.places before them. The.
use of honest criticism is this—there
are numerous . readers, more or less
well-informed, who purchase books
for the entertainment or instruction of
themselves, and, it may be, their families
and friends. These hook-readers, for the
most part, will purchase, without hesita
tion, a new work by any author of estab
lished reputation. Perhaps nearly a moie
ty of them are compelled, by pecuniary
considerations, (especially since books are
nearly double the price they were four
years ago,) to make a selection. They
consult the critical opinion delivered, un
der editorial responsibility, in a public
■ ournal of established character, and rely
upon it,, when experience has tested its
honesty. They argue, “ here is an opinion
of a new book, written by a .man whose
business always has been to read new
books with a view to criticising them,”
and they purchase or not, on that opinion.
If the critic, from any cause, has praised a
book wMchhe ought not have commended,
the reader soon perceives it, ahd on two or
three repetitions of this mock-criticism,
which really is unprofitable puffing, ceases
to have reliance on such blind guides, and
usually lets the newspaper know it.
Therefore, it is the interest of the hook
critic to be careful and faithful.
Napoleon, third Emperor of that name,
being a great publicist, was liable to the
suspicion of having written the life of Ju
lius C-esab, not entirely to instruct the
world about the great man who founded
the Roman Empire, but also to incline the
readers of that work to draw parallels be
tween the first Napoleon and: Cjesab and
between the reigning Napoleon and the
great Augustus (“ who found Rome brick
and left it marble,”) and, by a remarkable
coincidence, also was the nephew of Ms
uncle. There being a political purpose
in the book, it is clear that a political wri
ter had a right to notice it, as such. Ac
cordingly M. 'Rogeabd, a French writer,
produced a brochure, entitled “Les Propas.
de Labienus,” professing to be a conver
sation between two Romans, jH&LiENUs
and Labienus onto§.memoirs of Auqus-
Tus )j( suppcsC;rtul!ave just appeared.- The
cloak under wMch Napoleon’s personality,
was veiled was so thin that every one re
cognized the satirist’s drift. We have ex
amined a copy of the work, in French, and
can only say that M. Rogeabd did not limit
himself to satire, but implied that
biographer had committed nearly every
crime in the decalogue. Simple abuse like
this cannot affect a writer—its animus neu
tralizes its “poison.... Contempt and silence
would haVe been its best reply.
Napoleon, could not forget
tlffe emperor in the author, > and issued
orders that all copies of the hostile brochure
should be seized, and that author and pub
lisher should be arrested. The author fled
to Brussels, where he is personally safe.
His publisher was less fortunate. The
absent author was sentenced to five years’
imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs.
The present publisher, under “ extenuating
circumstances ” of pretending that he had
not read what he had put into type, was
sentenced to a month’s imprisonment and
510 francs fine.
Granting that what M. Roobabd wrote
was coarse and severe, Napoleon’s policy,
as author, surely was to leave it unnoticed.
.The persecution of the pamphlet and the
prosecution of the satirist have had only
the effect of drawing attention to it. Some of
the London newspapers have translated and'
published it in full, thereby giving it a cir
culation which it could not otherwise have
obtained, and even a New York publisher
has brought out “ Lahienus” in the origi
nal, a copy of which Mr. Penington, of
Seventh street, has sent us. It is saucy and
shrewd—insolent even—but miserably abu
sive, and therefore, if let alone, very harm
less.
The affair convinces us that Napoleon,
though he has published many books (he
said himself that he spent six years in gra
duating in the University of. Ham), is
considerably more Autocrat than Author,
He does not accept criticism kindly—the
lion’s paw coming strongly down in
anger, no matter how mildly the royal
animal may bear himself. On this account,
we of the pen do not care to admit frater
nity with him of the sceptre.
AH "OCCASIONAL” HOUR WITH 6R&HI.
Washington, April 80, 1865.
The public man most talked about, and
whose face and form the people of our
country are most anxious to see, is unques
tionably General Grant. He has been so
retiring and so reticent that he has never
yet made a speech a sentence in length,
and has only shown himself in society
when duty or stern custom required it.
He does not seem to have any of the tastes
for parades, or reviews, or uniforms, of
many of our commanders, and among
them some of the bravest and best. Thus,
when his terms had been accepted, a
private and straightforward talk with Lee,
and after a hurried ratification of it before
the assembled armies, he left the rest of the
formula to his officers; and instead of going
to Richmond, the great prize so long and
so bravely fought for, he turned his.horse
towards City Point, took the boat for
Washington, reported quietly to the Presi
dent, and then passed to the cars on" his
way to see his family at Burlington, New
Jersey, having heard the news of Mr.
Lincoln’s murder on the boat from Phila
delphia to Camden, It is more than proba
ble that it was his natural aversion to the
demonstrations of great crowds, and his
strong domestic habits, which saved him
from the fate of our beloved President.
I was among those who witnessed the
solemn ceremony in the Bast Room of the
Presidential Mansion, on Wednesday, the
19th of April, in the presence of the Sena
tors and Representatives of the United
Btates, the Supreme Court, the foreign
legations, the Cabinet, and other heads of
departments, and the chiefs of the army
and the navy then in Washington. I noted
the entrance of General Grant. Even in
the sombre chamber, while every heart was
filled with unutterable woe, and the sobs
of the mourners could be distinctly heard,
there was an eagerness to see and to study
the features of the great soldier who had
conquered the most extended and tragic
conspiracy in human annals. He took his
place with almost painful modesty, seem
ing, as it were, to shrink from observation,
and although many advanced to gaze upon
the lineaments lately so bright with bene
volence and hope, then cold and stiff in
death, General Grant was not of the num
ber. He had doubtless previously taken
his last farewell. When General Sherman
entered into his unfortunate negotiation
with Joe Johnstoh, the Lieutenant General
himself carried the order countermanding
* i
ifc Instead of making elaborate prepara
tions, I quote the words of one who saw
him take his leave: “He had with him
only his small carpet bag and a full cigar
case." Yesterday morning Gen. Grant re
turned from Raleigh and laid the result of
his conference before the President. As I
had never had the hdnor of a formal intro
duction to or conversation with General
Grant, I embraced the opportunity of being
presented to him last evening, in company
with two gentlemen, one of them his inti
mate friend. He was not in his room.
When we arrived, so we waited till Tie
came in from the WaT Department. I
confess, when the door softly opened, and
a gentleman about the size of Gover
nor Andrew, of quiet
ly looked in, and then as quietly en
tered, smoking the stump of a cigar, I
was a good .deal surprised. We were ac
cordingly introduced. Putting his hand
into his side pocket he drew thence a paper
of regalias, lighted a fresh one himself at
the same time offering them to his guests.
And this was the Lieutenant General of the
irresistible army of the United States! This
was the man whose achievements as well in
capturing Richmond as in the closing scene
with Lee are now discussed at every Ameri
can fireside, and by all the military critics
in the civilized world 1 But for the three
stars on his shoulders he never would be
taken for what he is by a stranger. In
deed, in citizen’s dress, he would look
more like a respectable Pennsylvania
farmer than a thorough-bred military,
man. There .is such an utter absence of
the characteristics of the Martinet that it
was difficult to realize that we stood in the
presence of the first soldier in the world.
Gen. Grant reached his forty-third year on
Friday, from which you may have an
idea that he is very young-looking, as in
deed he is. There was no care on Ms
brows, no hesitation in his speech,
and not the slightest disposition to con
ceal his thoughts or Ms opinions. In
this I was as much surprised as in the
singular simplicity of his bearing. That
he was a gentleman you perceived at once.
He does not talk like a New Englander, or
a Southerner,' but reminded me of a Scotch-
Irish Western Pennsylvanian. I could
easilyjmderstand, however, in his looks,
and in every word he spoke, that I
was gazing upon and listening to the ■
happiest man in America. He felt
(none more so) the great loss sustained by
our country and by mankind, but there was
in his whole deportment a consciousness
that the rebellion Was crushed, that an
honorable peace was at hand, and that our
illustrious President had been succeeded by
one eminently fitted to finish the good work.
He paid the Mghest tribute to Gen. Sherman's
patriotism, complimented Mm for Ms aston
ishing march from Savannah to Goldsboro,
and incidentally stated that he had himself
selected him for that undertaking on ac
count of his rare capacities. He also spoke
of the promptgmanner in wMch the orders
countermanding the negotiations with Joe
Jplmeton had been executed by General
Sherman and his corps commanders!
When he referred to Ihe conditiptfof the
Southern people it was as one ■who talked
of an unfortunate, a desolated race. Two
armies had fought, advanced, and retreated,
again and again, oyer the beßt portion of
their soil, and had left despair, and misery,
and almost starvation, before, behind,
, and around them. -Although he carefully
avoided the slightest reference to polities,
or to the numerous suggestions in connec
tion with what is called reconstruction
or reorganization, and confined Mmself
strictly to military topics, , # he more
than once revealed that he would treat
the masses of the South with kindness
and humanity, especially Ita view of the
fact that they had been fo|ced to obey their
own desperate leaders. Iq referring to the
surrender of General Lee, of whom, by the
way, he spoke higMy (as he did of Joe
Johnston), he said that Ms army (Lee’s)
had been dreadfully reduced ia the retreat.
That rebel chief was touched by the
liberal terms conceded to-Mm by the Lieu
tenant General, and when he intimated to
Grant that he trusted every effort would
be made to conclude the arrangements, so
that his soldiers might immediately be pa
roled and. sent to their homes, he added
that thdy were in a pitiable condition, not
having had themostordinaryrationsfortwo
days. It was then that General Grant di
rected Ms commissaries to issue to the sur
rendered forces rations for nearly twenty
six thousand men. I mention this circum
stance in refutation of a charge that Gene
ral Lee had demanded' rations, when the
fact is that Grant tendered them, as I have
stated. Of one thing this interview im
pressed. my friend and myseif: the great
plans which have excited so much admira
tion, and have been so unflinchingly ad
hered to, in the midst of ridicule, calumny,
- and disaster; until victory sealed and eon
finned them, have been the plans of General
Grant himself. Occasional.
Death of Mb. S. Lucas.—We learn by our last
advices from England of the death of Mr. Samuel
Lucas, for many years the principal Editor of the
Morning Star, and one of the best friends of our Go
vernment in the whole range of English journal
ism. In Ms own country he was a strenuous and
consistent Liberal. With his Editorship the paper
he conducted ha® always been conspicuous for Its
freedom of opinion, and has distinguished itself by
Its strong and influential advocacy of the cause of
our Union.- He upheld, this country when Its advo
cates in England were but few, and constantly laid
before the English public facts and arguments
which were permitted to appear in no other leading
journal In London with the solitary exception of
the Daily News. He was Intimately connected with
all the leading Liberal Statesmen, and more espe
cially with Mr. Bright, to whom ho was related by
marriage. Immediately following the death of Mr.
Oobden, as his does—though a much younger man,
being no more than fifty-four years of age-lt will
bo felt as a heavy loss by the whole of Ms how pow
erful party In English Politios.
Movnto DAT ix Nnw Yonx.—Yesterday was
the great day for peripatetic housekeepers In New
York. Despatches say that Sunday was by no
means the day It usually Is, even In boisterous and
business-doing New York. AH the principal
streets were filled with the teams of
smashers,” hundreds of them moving In oppo
site directions, and conveying the household
goods ana treasures of as many families-
We may judge of the great migrations of for
mer days, when we are told that In proportion to
the extent of population, there is less “moving”
than formerly. In the old times when new houses
with “modern conveniences” were.ln course of
erection, people who lived In dilapidated, old
fashioned houses ohanged them quarterly, but
tMs Inducement exists no longer. The
amount of rents paid tMs year, over those
paid last year, Is abont twenty-five to two 0 r
three hundred per cent., but the average does not
probably exceed fifty to seventy-five per cent. The
rise has been far greater than the advance In'the
Value of property- owing, of course, to the fact that
there Is a scarcity of houses, which, It is expected,
will he temporary.
Jhb PsSTBWTioif of tbs Negatives takkk
ik New-Yobs FSOit THE iatb Peesibbkt,—Two
or three days since Major General Peek, In com
mand of the Department of the East, received a
peremptory order from Secretary Stanton to destroy
the negation and photographs of the deceased Pre
sident, whlob had been made in New York, Captain
Hives, of General Dlx*a staff, executed the order In
part by seizing them. Before they could be
destroyed Mr. Gurney, who had taken them,
-watted on General Peck, and asked, to have the
negatives preserved until he coaid appeal to Secre
tary Stanton, as he believed the order had been
Issued at tbe solicitation of rival artlßts. Much time
and labor, he said, had been expended In taking
the negatives, and It Is highly desirable that 'they
should be preserved.
General Peck- acceded to the request, to await
further instructions from Secretary Stanton, In the
meantime retaining possession of the pictures. This
morning a telegram was received from Secretary Stan
ton, by General Peck, directing the destruction of the
negatives and the pictures.
Mr. Stanton says Mrs. Linooln and the other
members of the family deslie that tMs may be
dou4; and he adds, that permission shovld.never have
been given the artists totake the pictures. Itwas done
by leave of the Committee of the Common Council..
It Is understood that the-objectlon or tbe family

of the corpse were shrunken, and had assumed a
most unnatural expression’. In tMs connection,

Tub Kbbbl Bam Stombwalb —There appears
to be considerable excitement In New York about
the probable arrival of the'rebel Iron-olad Stone
wall. On March the 25th, when she steamed from
Lisbon, the twenty-four-hour rule debarred the Ni
agara and Sacramento from following her. She
was consequently able to got away a dlstanoe which
rendered pursuit useless, and as she has been heard
from at Tanerlffe on April Ist, it Is more than pro,
bable that She Is now close upon our ooasfc.
Wb never are personal, and we don’t like to be,
and we don’t want to Sjjeak disrespectfully of any
body, but when we remembered that the rebellion,-
In its first fullness, counted within Its limits just
eleven of onr thirty-three States, onr memory flew
back-to a much-admired portion or a muoh-admtred
poem. We opened Milton, and we found the guar
dian of the gates of Hell thus addressing Satan, as
he wishes to esoape Its oonfines. In order to sow
sorrow and death In the happy union then existing
in Eden:
“Art thou that traitor angel, art thou he
Who first .broke peace In heaven, send faith, tn

RICHMOND. ,
PBOOEBDINGB OF A LOYAL COLORED MEETING—
ARREST OF THB BBBBL BX-COMHIBSIONBB HATCH
BBBBL BONG-VENDING.
Richmond, April 30,1865,
Another week of loyal administration has ended,
and Sunday, with all of its revered impressions,
has dawned upon a redeemed city.
At a meeting of the colored people of Richmond,
assembled in toe Third-street M.E.Ohnioh, Thurs
day, April is, 1865, to rejoice, over our deliverance
from bondage, and toe triumph of freedom in our
land, Mr. Fields Cooke was called to the chair, and
Mr. Peter Wooifolke was appointed secretary.
The meeting was opened with appropriate religi
ons exeroises by Bishop Brooks, of Philadelphia.
Mr.'George L. Ruffin, of Boston, one of toe
speakers for the occasion, tjjeri addressed the meet
ing. He thought that, in view of toe great calami
ty whloh had befallen the nation In toe death of
President Lincoln, he knew he expressed toe feel
ings of the audience when he said toe character of
the meeting should be changed to one of condolence
and sympathy. Abraham -Lincoln's name, no mat
ter what .might be said by exoltod partisans, would
go down to posterity aB one of the wisest rulers and '
most sagacious statesmen .that toU or any other age
had produced. Mr. Ruffin thought itpeoullaxiy'
fortunate that he (toelate President) had . been se
lected to cwry this country through this ordeal of
fire and Mood; and now, as peace Is about dawning.
on our torn and-distracted oonntry, the CMef Magis
trate of the United States, toe great Emancipator,
Is stricken down hy toe hand of an assassin*
Brothers, mourn 1 sifters, weep 1 for our best Mend
has passed away.
A'ccmmittee was appointed to prepare suitable
resolutions. They retired, and, returning, presented
toe following:
Resolved, That In the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, we have
lost our best friend .and warmest advocate—that
toe dastardly act of the murderer fills ns with In
expressible horror and Indignation, and that we oan
give no utterance to toe feelings of sorrow and sad
ness whloh fills our hearts'at tots present moment.
And further, That this meeting here convened In
toe house of God, sends forth to the family of our
beloved President (now deceased) our heartfelt con
dolence and sympathy In this the hour of their deep
affliction.
The Bishop made an,eloquent and appropriate
speech la support orthe resolutions, followed by Mr.
P. N. Judah, O. M. Steward, and others. The re--
solutlons were adopted,by & unanimous vote, and a
motion was made and carried that. the proceedings
of the meeting be sent to the Blchmonjl Whig, the
Philadelphia Recorder, and the Anglo-Afriean, with
a request to publish the same. The doxology was
then sung and the meeting adjonrnod.
The editor of the Blohmond Whig, on receiving
the above report, submitted It to General Ord, who
returned It with the following endorsement:
“ The mayor, the Common OounoU of Blohmond,
and a number of citizens of Petersburg, called on
the Department commander for permission to hold
a meeting of condolence and sympathy on the death
of the President, but owing to the peculiar position
of affairs here, the meetlhg was not allowed.”
The meeting of the eolored people has occurred
without any unpleasant circumstances, but not
having been authorized by the military sommauder,
it Is not deemed proper to publish It here, the city
being under military role. The copy can be seat
North and published.
The nnmereus Seoesh of this elty are demanding
.-that the loyal blacks stfall be excluded from the
Capitol Square, while the bands of the oolored regi
ments are giving their tri-weekly serenades to the
cool of the afternoon. In foot, the Times, Conducted
by.thenotorldus Follard, whose name does not ap
pear, has already announced, with considerable
Chuckling, thatjthis injustice has commenced.
Captain W. H. Hatch, the rebel Commissioner of
Exchange, who was captured with others -shortly
after the surrender of Lee, was arrested yesterday
at his residence, on the corner of Leigh and Fourth
streets, upon some serious charges of unfair and
dishonest dealings wlti the property and money of
our soldiers in rebel prisons. Large 'quantities of -
stores which were sent to our Buffering troops, and'
whioh It now appears never reaohed their destina
tion, were enttusted to his delivery, and to him has
been traced a portion of the complicity which left
Union men to starve, while he and others appropri
ated what their relatives and friends at the North
had sent to them. Batch's offencehelng a serious 62°-
he was confined In Libby, while those of a milder
grade are furnished with apartments in Castle
Thunder. At the time of the Captain’s arrest he
was preparing dinner for General Singleton and
other Northerners, hut was spirited away before the
guests arrived. When they came a colored domes
tic informed them of the involuntary absence of the
host, and In her simplicity asked them If they
would stay for dinner. They consented to partake
of the good things prepared, ate heartily, and after
discussing the fate of their host, concluded, late in
the afternoon, to see what had become of him.
Hatch’s family has, daring the war, resided under
the old flag In Missouri. After passing the night
to Libby in strict confinement, without the privilege
of speaking to anyone, he was released yesterday
morning upon the order of General 0.-d. The arrest
was made by Brigadier General M. B. Patrick,
Provost Marshal General.
Mr. E. S. Stewart, who has a kind of a periodical
stand in the spottswood. Hotel, was arrested day
before yesterday for vending the rebel Marseillaise
song. Upon the matter being brought to the notice
of General Patrick, he had Stewart escorted-to
Oastle Thunder before his case could be'brought to
the notice of : the higher authorities, who, upon its
representation Immediately ordered his release.
' Mr. Stewart la a gentleman of unquestionably
loyal Instincts. - Rdimiit.
Thb Frame of Biohmoxd.—The following ex- 4
traot Is taken from a letter by the rebel General
Ewell, explaining the partial burning of Blohmond
at the time of Its evacuation. It was addressed;to
a'relative living near Washington, and Is dated
April 16, at Fort Warren s
“I am abused for burning Blohmond. It was
burned by the mob. There were no troops to
keep order. I had told the principal oltlzens,
months before, what would happen, and urged
them to form a constabulary force to keep order.
But they would not, only three, persons offering
their servloes, when there were hundreds doing
nothing. The fire-hose was cut, and the arsenal
burned by the mob. I had taken every pro
caution possible, and the peosle must blame them
selves. To prevont misstatements as regards our
.capture, I would state that we were ordered to fol
low Anderson; that after driving baok an attack on
onr wagons wo found Anderson out off from those of
Lee’s army in front; and tbe 6th Corps oams after
me, attacking my troops. Anderson failed, after a
trial, In .breaking through those In his front ; and
when my men, entirely surrounded, fighting over
ten times their number, were captured or slain.

Chicago, May 1.-The remains of President Lin
coln arrived In Chicago at 11 o’clock this morning.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax last night delivered an ad
dress In Bryan Hall, to an Immense audience, It
was an appropriate preliminary to the solemn fane
ral services of to-day. In the course of his remarks he
said: We might search history, anolent or modem,
and when tie task was ended all would coincide
that Abraham Lincoln was the most merciful ruler
whoever put down a powerful rebellion. Now, he
so held 'the hearts or th*.people,and was-so en
twined with their regards and affeotlons that he
was the only man living who oould have stood In
the breach, between the leaders of this Iniquity ana
the wrath of the country they had plunged Into
bloody war. Feeling, as so many did, that his kind
ly heart almost forgot jUßtloe In its throb for mercy,
yet knowing as they did Me unlalterlng devotion to
j his country, his inflexible adherence to principle, Ms
unyielding determination for the restoration of our
national unity, there was a trust In him almost filial,
a moving confidence that whatever he might finally
resolve on would'prove in the end to be for the best.
Of the many thousand persons whom he had met
In his public or private life, Mr. Colfax said he oould
not call to mind a single one who excelled him In
calmness of temper, In kindness of disposition, and
In overflowing generosity of Impulse. He seemed
wholly free from 111 will or Injustice, Attaokedever
so sharply, he never answered railing by rail
ing j criticised ever so unjustly, he would reply
with no word of reproof, but would patiently
and uncomplainingly strive to prove, if ho
answered at all, that he stood on the rook oi
right. Murdered, coffined, burled, he will live with
those few Immortal “ names that were not born to
dielive ae the father of the faithful In times that
tried-men’s souls; live In thegrateful hearts of a
daik browed race he lifted from under the heel of
oppression to the dignity of freedom and manhood;
live ln> every beloved circle which has given a
father, husband, son, or friend, to die as he
did for bis country; live with the glorious oompauy
of martyrs to liberty, ju3tloe, and humanity—that
trio 01 heaven-Wifi Mlaolple? i UYO tfi the love of
all beneath the circuit of the suu who loathe tyranny

shows how honesty and principle lifted him, made
as he was from the humblest ranks of the people, to
the noblest station on the globe, and a name that
shall brighten under the eye of history as ages roll
by. From the top of fame’s ladder he stepped to
the sky.

We have as yet no detailed account of the awful
explosion' on board the steamer Sultana (by which
some fifteen hundred lives were lost), on the Mis
sissippi ; but the Memphis Bulletin supplies below a
few facts in addition to the telegraphic account
heretofore published. The seene following the ex
ploslonwasheartrendlng and terrible In the extreme.
Hundreds of people were blown into the Mr, and de
scending into the water,some dead, some with broken
limbs, some scalded, were borne under by the re
sistless current of the great river, never to rise
again. The survivors represent thesoreams as ago
nizing beyond precedent Some clung to (Tall pieces
of the wreck, as drowning men cling to straws, and
sustained themselves for a few moments, but finally
became exhausted and sunk. Only the best swim
mers, aided by fragments of the wreck, were enabled'
to reach the woods, and there take refuge, until re
scued by boats sent from the landing here to their
assistance Theie were about fifteen women and
children aboard, and as near as can be ascertained,
not more than two or three had been found at the
hour when this account was written. Some ’of the
wretched people were borne by the onrront as far
down as the levee of this city, and this was the first
Intimation the officers of the boats to port received
of the terrible disaster. A yawl was Immediately
sent out from the Marble Oity, and In a few minutes
several persons were picked out of the water and
brought ashore. • Two were afterward found cling
ing to the wheel, and they were also saved. Upon
being brought to a realization of the calamity, the
officers of the boats to port, trader notification of
Captain Senior, of the Blver Guard, steamed up,
ana to a short time were at the burning steamer,
where hundreds or people were picked and
brought to this landing, arriving about daylight.
They were met hy a number of citizens and ladies,
whfrsnpplied them with abandonee of dry clothing
from the quartermaster’s department and from va
rious stores. ,
Mr. Bawberry, tbe first mate, was on the watch,
and standing to the pllot-honse with Capt, George
Clayton, who was at the wheel at the time of the
explosion. He only remembers the shook, that he
was blown into the air, and .was afterwards taken
from the water. He saw the lower deck to
flames, and knows no more. He oan give no.
idea of the cause of the accident, and says
the boat was going at ordinary speed, and all
seemed well up to the moment the explosion
occurred; that the second engineer, a sober, re
liable man named Clemens, was at the engines,
and that nothing more than common was to pro
gress. Capt. Olaj ton was also hurled Into the wreck
among the broken hollers and rubbish, sustaining
slight injuries. He Immediately jumped overboard
with a door, by which he was enabled to reach
the Arkansas shore, three miles below, where,
striking a sappllng; he seized and clung to la.
until saved. Clemenß, the engineer, was bad
ly burned and scalded, and oan hardly recov
er. Mr. John Fogleman, residing on the Arkan
sas side, on being aroused by the noise and see
tog the burning steamer, hastily .constructed a
rude raft; and to this way was the means or saving
about one hundred lives. In the woods, among the
drift of the wreck, the officers of the Rose Hamble
ton found a family Bible, containing the records of
a family named Spike, of Assumption Parish, La.
The names recorded are Samuel 3>. Spike and Ele
thla Spike, married October 31st, 1887. The record
shows there were twelve in the family. It was sub
sequently-learned that the father, mother, three
daughters, two brothers, and a niece were lost.
Several of the bodies were recovered. This family
had seventeen thousand dollars to gold, all of whioh
was lost.
At the time of theexptoslon Captain Mason had
retired from watch, and was to bed. .He was after
jeefi throwing Shutters and doors to the as
sistance of people to the water, and here all traces
of him vanished. Clerks Gamble and Stratton are
also missing. . ....
Among the soldiers on board wore thirty commis
sioned officers. The troops were of various regi
ments, and nearly all exchanged prisoners. They
belonged principally to Western regiments. At
the hour of writing only five or six hundred persons
have been Baved. Hon. W. D. Snow, member of
Congress from Arkansas, was on board,and escaped
unhnured.
The Memphis Argus seems to think that the ex-
plosion was oaused by a torpedo. It asserts that
one of the mates, Paterny, says-the steam was not
near as high on the Sultana as It was usually car
ried. He thinks a torpedo shaped like a lump of
coal must have oaußed the explosion. The guns of
Fort Pickering are reported to have fired on the
boats of the Essex while picking up the survivors.
Thb Dikeotiou of Booth’s Fmoht.— Since the
death of the assassin, the Importance of his crime
and the dignity of the victim make the particulars
of Ms mysterious escape and flight as much mat
ters of history as of Interest.. It seems that he frac-“
tuied the small bone of his leg to jumping from the
box to the theatre, but his horse carried him safely
on the road to Bryantown, ten miles from Washtag
tA,to th e tavern of Mrs. Surratt. Here he arrived
on Saturday morning. The military were the first
to call at the tavern, but failed to get any
definite statement until the detectives oamo up.
The tavern was owned by Mrs. Suratt, and
leased to the old man who keeps It. TJpohaelose
examination he stated that Mrs. Suratt had been
there on Friday aftornoap, and left word that two
men would arrive during the night, who were to be
generously provided for. She also directed that two
carbines suspended by a string between the plaster
ing of a partition should be given them. Booth and
Harrold arrived as expected, and remained until
sometime Saturday forenoon; but on leaving Booth
declined to take ,a carbine, stating that he was
too lame to carry it* Harrol d, however, took one,
ana the two set out for the lower counties. Upon
reaching the neighborhood of Bryantown, near Port
•Tobacco, Booth’s leg beoame too painful to proceed
further, and the services of Dr. Mudd, of that vici
nity, were called Into requisition- After the frac
ture bad been dressed and Booth had left, the de
tectives arrested Mudd, who dented all knowledge
of the character of his patient. -The boot; however,
which had been out off from Booth’s foot, the In
flammation rendering It Impossible to draw ft off,
was found, and to It was written with Ink, “J.
Wilks,” the word “Booth” evidently having been
out wlth a knlfo. The next place where
Booth and Harrold were heard from was at the hoqse

Thb Waxntjt-btekbt Thbatbb.— liftsfc evening
one of the very greatest, yet most unequal actresses
upon the American stage, commenced as engage
ment at this house—we allude to Miss Lucille
Western. She reappeared in her great dual—so
the management call It—character In “East
Lynne,” We say that she is “the greatest, yet
most unequal actress” on the . American vstage.
Portions of her Impersonation are characterized by
actual genius, and we know no artist who can draw
such positive tears from every tender-hearted fe
male who Is looking upon It. This Is high pratteto
award any artist, but It Is not undeserved. We
defy any person who maybe present to deny that
there atß more handkerchiefs placed to the stream-
ing eyes of the audience during the most touching
portions of this exceedingly melodramatic play,
than are generally seen In the most melancholy
and tear-exciting tragedy that has ever been offered
to the public. In addition to this, she does not
merely possess the power of exciting emotion. She
is a most able aotress, and, histrionically atone,
would stand very high. At the same time, we
are compelled to admit that there are portions of
the play she Is performing whloh she slurs over
portions which, if we were to judge her merits by, we
should value them very differently. We admit that
this want of balance In her acting may be Intentional,
That portion of a representation which she treats
bo carelessly produces for her great effects a far
more thorough appreciation. This may be so, but
if so, we counsel her seriously not to allow it to grow
into a habit. In youth everything Is pardoned to
histrionic genius. As she grows older, she will he
judged by a sterner standard—a standard to which
she must, sooner or later, become amenable. She
Is too fine an artist for us to contemplate this chance
Indifferently. Should she labor honestly and con
scientlonsly, the first place on the American stage.
Whether intake legitimately tragic or purely sensa
tional drama, Is within her grasp. Let her do so,
and seize it with a steady and firm hand, neglecting
nothing for the sake of heightening the separate
effects, and we shoflld reel disposed to guarantee
her a success at tbe side of which even her present
one will grow pale and dim in her after*reputation.
Tun BmnstriT or Mahagbr Stmt.— On Saturday
next .Mr. William E. Sinn, the manager of the
Chestnut-street Theatre, will receive a compli
mentary benefit, both In the afternoon and evening,
from the various artists now employed at that esta
blishment. “ Uncle Tom’s Oabip ” Is to be played
in the afternoon, with the strong east which ensured
Its success a short time since, and in the evening
“The Colleen Bawn” will be given—the perform
ance of this clever melo-drama being followed by
‘•Mlcawber,” with Mr. Lewis Baker In the princi
pal character. It cannot be doubted that Mr. Sinn
will have a crammed benefit to testimony both of
his unfailing urbanity and his resolute and con
scientious labor to his managerial capacity.
A Batch op Bekefits.—Wo have already in-
vited public attention to the benefit of Mr. Carden,
which Will take place this evening at the Arch-
street Theatre, hut It would seem that the present
week is to be almost exclusively a week of benefits.
Upon Wednesday the bills announce Mis. E. N.
Thayer as the benejiciaire. “ The Streets of Hew
York ” and “ Mr. and Mrs. Baker ” furnish, the en-
tertainments for the evening. The following day,
Thursday, Miss Lizzie Brice comes-before us in the
same agreeable position, with the same leading
feature on the bill, and the comedietta of “The
Household Fairy.” Then comes Owen Marlowe,
still offering “The Streets of Mew York,” but giving
■us an.orlgtoal sketch—at least, one never before
played here—called " Lord and Lady Dundreary.”
This sketch is said to be most entertaining to Its cha
racter, and we anticipate, upon that score, that Mr.
Marlowe, as well as the preceding three recipients
of benefits, will gather a pleasant’addition to their
yearly Incomes. • -
Messrs. WotvsoEK ahd Thohas gave their
fifth concert of classical music yesterday evening.
This concert followed rapidly upon the fourth.oftha
series, which took plaee on Saturday night, alter
being postponed for two weeks on account of the
death of President Lincoln. The weather, which
has heretofore frowned upon these worthy gentler
men, was last night, fortunately, propitious, and a
toll assemblage of musical amateurs was the natural
result. The concert was, to all respects, a great
success. The programme consisted of a choice
selection of muslci and It was rendered with that
consummate ability whlchhas always distinguished
the concerts of these artists.
The opening piece was Mendelssohn’s beautiful
quartette to B minor, op. S, lor piano, violin, viola,
and violoncello, the various movements of whlchf
were Interpreted with great taste, power, and deli
cacy *by Messrs. Wollsohn, Thomas, Hammerer, and
Schmitz. The second part of the toirie was devoted
to solo performances. Mr. Wolfsohn, by request,
substituted to place of Schumann’s “ Noveletteu ’>
the fine fantasia in F minor, by Chopin, which he,
had given with such acceptation on Saturday. It.
is needless to say that he gave this work with bril
liancy and effect, and that it elicited great ap
plause Scorn the large and discriminating audience
which tow heard it. Mr. Thomas also repeat
ed the deltclqns violin solo, by Spphr, whloh
had produced such admiration at -the former
concert, and to which his great mastery of the in
strument, particularly to the use of double notes,,
is shown to so mnch advantage. The audience last
, evening was sodSelighted with Mr. Thomas’ per
formance that an encore was insisted os, when he
gave the solo by Schubert, as announced on the
programme, an original and delicate composition,
which |he / tot#rpreted with elegance. Mr- Wolfson
followed, to three “Kletoe Studlen,” composed by
Miss Howell, the eminent lady pianist of this city,
whloh were warmly received.
The great feature of the entertainment, however,
was Bcethoven’s-magnlficent soptett, op. 20, which
was performed to a style worthy of the grand aha,
renter of the work, which stands among the first
productions of the genius of its composer. Beet
hoven’s own love of this composition is shown
by the fact' that he arranged it himself to
three formß, as a trio, as a quintette, and
as a soptett, the lest the richest and most
powerful. The artists who executed it last eve
ning—Messrs. Thomas, violin; Hammerer, viola,
Schmitz, violoncello; Buchner, double-bass; Stoll,
clarinet; Blrgfeld, horn; and Muller, bassoon
devoted themselves to its rendition with aU their
taste, skill, and ardor, and the result was a superb
success. We congratulate Messrs. Wolfsohn and
Thomas upon the complete musical triumph
achieved by them and their associates at this con
cert. , . ,
Otto Drß6XL’sCohc»rts.~' We would direct toe
attention of one. musical friends to Mr. Dresel’s
piano concerts, the first of which will he given at
the foyer, on Thorday afternoon at four o’olook.
These concerts, which are given In compliance with
an earnest letter of Invitation sent to Mr. Dresel by
a large number of our citizens, together with most
©four professional pianists, have been rightly an*
tlolpated as a source of Infinite pleasure and satis
faction, and we had almost feared that their post
ponement on account of onr great national sorrow
might be the means of depriving ns of them alto
gether for this season. We are, however, glad to
see that this Is not to be the ease. There is some
thing so refined'ln the playing of Mjr. Dresel that
we feel assured that onr enjoyment of these beauti
ful entertainments will be rather enhanced by the
warm welcome bestowed upon him by his numerous
friends and admirers ln'thls city. The second and
third concerts will be on the evenings of the 6th
and Sth of May.
bsoTOE OH Flowers.—A. W. Harrison, Esq.,
secretary of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Soci
ety, will deliver a lecture before that association this
(Tuesday) evening, on the Odors of flowers, in
which he will -present a variety of anrluuß and
useful Information upon the subject of the commer
cial uses ol flowers, including an account of a-vlslt
to the flower farms of France, and the art of col
lecting and preserving the perfumes of flowers, Il
lustrated by a large collection of rare living plants
from the conservatories of Philadelphia. The lec
turer is eminently qualified, -by professional and
horticultural experience, to treat these topics with
peculiar Interest. It will be free' to all. The rooms
ot the Society are at the southwest oarner of Broad
and Walnut streets.
Processor Blobton’s Ltottikb oh-Light.—
This evening, In the Academy of Music, Professor
Henry Morton, by the request and on behalf of the
Franklin Institute, will deliver a lecture on Light,
with numerous scientific and mechanical Illustra
tions. From the number of seats already taken, the
house will certainly be crowded to Its utmost ca
pacity.
Classical Q.tjihtbttb Club.—The twenty-fourth
matindc will be given to-morrow, at the Assembly
Building, With the following programme;
Trio, op. 70 (No. 1), for piano, violin, and vioton
oollo.. Beethoven.
Song scene, for-yioiln Spohr.

Mbvbrbhbr’s “Afrioaihr” nr Nbw York.—
The New York Times gives the following: «> The
great musical event of the coming season will .he
the production of Meyerbeer’s “Africatwe.” After
an Immense amount of preparation, and rather more
than the ordinary quantity of red tape, It has proba
bly by thlß time been brought out In Parts. On the
night or Its production an exact copy of the soore
is, by special st ipulation with the proprietors, to be
forwarded to Mr. Max Maretiak, who has, we are
informed, scoured the exclusive right for this coun
try, Thus, a few weeks after Its representation In
Europe, we shall have an opportunity of judging of
a work which 1b generally expected to be its com
poser’s master-piece. It will have singular signifi
cance here, as one of the principal Incidents or the
plot Is the liberation of the slave. Of this and many
other things we can only speak positively after the
work ha s been given to the public. A. veil of mystery,
lilted only at short Intervals by abandoned jour
nalists and heretical if not visionary newspaper cor
respondents, surrounds it. The opinion prevails,
however, that the “ Aftioatoe ” was composed many
