THE BEENE IN THE THEATRE
Then Mrs. Lincoln screamed, Miss
Harris cried for water, and the full
ghastly truth broke upon all —"The
President is murdered 1" The scene
that ensued was as tumultuous and
terrible as one of Dante's pictures of
hell. Some women fainted, others
uttered piercing shrieks, and cries
for vengeance and unmeaning shouts
.for help burst from the mouths of
men. Hiss Laura Keene, the actress,

calm, she ascended the stairs in the
rear of Hr. Lincoln's box, entered it,
took the dying President's bead in
,her lap, bathed it with the water
she had brought, and endeavored to
force some of the liquid through the
insensible lips. The locality of the
'wound was at first supposed to be in
4the 'breast. It was not until after
'the meek and shoulders had been bar
ed and •no mark discovered, that the
'dress elf Miss Keene, stained with
'blood, revealed where the ball had
penetrated.

OUT.
As soon as the , confusion and crowd
were partially overcome, the form of
the President was-oonveyed from the
-theatre to the residence of Mr. Peter
-son, on the opposite -side of Tenth
street. Here upon a bed, in •a little
lastily prepared chamber, it was
--laid and attended by Surgeon Gen
--oral Barnes and other physicians,
.who were speedily summoned.
THE EXCITEMENT IN THE OAP/TAIL.
In the Meanwhile the news spread
•through the capital as if borne on
4ongues of flame. Senator Sumner,
'bearing of the affair at bis residence,
took a carriage and drove at a gallop
4'to the White House, where he heard
'where it had taken place, to find
Robert Lincoln and other members
of the household still unaware of it.
-Both drove to Ford's Theatre and
'were soon at the President's bedilide.
'Secretary Stanton and the other
, members of ~the Cabinet were at
'hand almost as soon. Avast crowd,
surging up Pennsylvania avenue to
ward Willard's Hotel, ()tied, “The
coin is murdered." Another crowd
sweeping,down the avenue met the
first with the tidings, "Secretary
Seward has been assassinated in bed"
instantly a wild-apprehension of an
organized conspiracy and of other
murders took possession of the peo
ple. The shout "To arms !" was
mingled with the expressions of sor
row and rage that everywhere filled
the air. "Where is General Grant ?"
or "Where is Secretary Stanton ?"
"Where are the rest of the Cabinet?"
broke from thousands of lips. A con
flagration of fire is not half so terri.

It is reported that th is proceeding of General
Sherman was disapproved for the following, a,
mong other reasons
Firet. It was an exercise of authority, not
vested in General Sherman, and on its face
shows th a t b o th b e end Johnston knew that
Sherman had 'no authority to enter into any
such arrangements. •
Seennti. It ass a practical acknowledgment
of the Rebel Government. ' •
Third. It undertook to to establish. Rebel
State Govornments that had been overthrown at
the sairifice of many thousand loyal lives ae'd

ED.—It IS affirmed, and almost uni
v,ersally believed in Europe, that the
Plague, or a dreadftil epidemieresem-
Wing it, rages in St. Petersburg, and
has extended along the valley of the
Vistula, between Poland and East
Prussia. The deaths had been 2,000
out of 10,000 cases, and there was an
average of 100 new oases a day. It is
feared that this terrible scourge is
extending westward, and may proba
bly reach England and America.—
Precautions are being taken to avert
this.
a A Plague has broken out in St.
Petersburg, Russia,_ and has swept
off many victims. It is' a' contagibus
fever; characterized by an eruption
of carbuncles' and butoes. Those
taken with it die in from twenty-four
honks to two weeks. Medical coin
miSsions from the. Sonth of Europe
have been sent to Russia to gather
information in regard to it: This
plague is of oriental origin, and in
early times swept its': way over

"Ikl4_ ENDORSEMENT Br "Tue Paßss."—On
Tuesday last, at an informal meeting- of the
Press Club, several reaolutions were passed whieh
we published in yesterday's issue. The patsies
ism of these resolutions demands no: comment
from us at a time when thetountry , feels 80 deep
,
ly the cruel and heavy blow whieh has fallen on
it. - One resolution, howeres; we call •attention
to, which was introduced .by E. C.:WALLACE,
and, which demands from every.honestjeurnalist
an tinciseeptional and clear endorstunent
. •
Resolved, Tliat tbe niernbers of: the Piers Club of
rhiladeiphia, now„ -always,- shred by . - the freedom of
the press and of opinion, fooling that.while treason .is
to execrated and punished by swift legal means,
passionate and illegal measures are to -be deprecated
when aimed against public ;journalists and orators,
even when their-views do not accord with temporary
political majorities.
This, resolution collaterally stigmatizes the
salon of the populace with 'reference to a jour
nal published in Chesnut street as .that action
juitly - deserves. - fled that journal vindicated
the-late President's- atrocious assassination, we
should have justified the` populareicitenicit,--
But, under the circumstances, we unhesitatingly
join-in the expression of the opinions of the
Press. Club, and denounce; the irrational ven
geance of the popitlace—exoroised without any
reason for its exhibitions it 'misfit imeguivo

0:7 - After all the bOastingS that ne
gro ti!ocps were the first to march in
to Richmond, after its capture, it
seems that such,is not the fact after
all. The cavalry division of Gen.
Koutz were the first to•march in, and
planted their standard 'on the doh e
of the-Capitol, at 8 - o'clock, on the
morning of the evacuation, (April 3.)
The glorious old army of the Poto
_mac thus retains:the honor of "taking
Richmond."

uance of . drafting, recruiting, and
other semi military - operations, will,
relieve from duty about - 70,000 Per

We all featlifit . . -
"Confusion' now bath made b humasterpiece 1

for-the most wicked and dagtardly, grime on •ree
orcl, let us remember that we owe if selenin duty
to the nation. It limy be urged that it is diffi
cult to be
"Wise, maned temperate and furious,
Loyal and neutral in a moment."
But we must act with wisdom aswell as with
feeling. There must he no seek ing,for victims
P . .stititify the honeit indignation:of tho';peopie ;
there must be no mobbing, no rioting, in, short,
NO daancar. The lOW meet reign eirprente, or in

our maddened feelings bring upon us the nation

rified the nation was the result of a deliberately
laid plot, this,cery . jpeult was doubkless_. part Of
the plans Of the Cans.pfrators, and we can only
foil this portion Of the wicked icheme . by acting

good order in the loyal and patriotic North, and
let out blows fall where they are merited. .
