It was nti hour iir morn past midnight wlien Hale, Forney, Mof.eati, and Itootli were driven to tin) White House. Tlitt guard, at the, request or Forney, admitted the enrriagn tn tliu gtoiuids. Mr. Lincoln wus called from bis bleep, and there, in tlm tlead of night, ho sat nnd listoned to the prayers of IJootli and tint endorsements of Hiosh who came with liitn to ask the favor of Ex ecutive clemency. This interview lasted till 4 In tho morning. It was one of tears, prayers, and petition. Theie was not a diy eye In the loom us Couth knelt nt the feet of Lincoln, clasped Ids knees with ills h.iints, nnd heugeil It) ci i to spnre the Hie ol one man a piTMiiutl fr.uinl who, in M'lvlng the one, he loved, had comti to the door nf dentil. Coolh toltl Kit. He told low, loin lielore, in a lit of passion to do borne bold deed, he bad Joined In some eon hpiiucy lo abduct the Pienidenl nnd to hold hi ui as a hostage lor the releaviot certain military piiMiners who were Hooth's filenils, nnd who, it was thought, were to bo i-hot, Hit told ot the meetings they bad held nt the bonne ot Mrs. Sin nut, and that all of that plan had fallen to the mound long be fore. He, offered his seivlce at any time and in tiny place or capacity, free ot cost or fearless of consequences. Tho ctnltii nt gentlemen who weie there with lii in joined in the lequent that the prayer of lit-oth bo granted, and that Ileal should be pardoned. At last rreaitlent Lincoln, with tears streaming down his face, took Couth by tho hands, bade him rlso and stand like a man, and gave him bis promise that Ileal should be pardoned. He asked the party to depart that be might gain rest for the work of tho morrow, and said that tbuolllclal document that they asketl for should be forwarded at once to United States Marshal Kobert Mur ray, in New York, and through him to the oftcers charged with the execution of Heal. After breakfast Lincoln Informed Seward, Secretary of State, what ho bad done or promised to do. Soward said that it must not be ; that public sentiment in the North demanded that Heal should be hung. He declared that to pardon Heal would discourage enlist ments, lengthen the war, and insult the sentiment that called for blood. He chlled Lincoln for making euch pro mises without asking tho advice of his Cabinet, or advising with h!inelf,Sew art, on State policy. As the argument grow contentious. Seward declared that If the conduct of the war was lobe trilled with by appeals for humanity be fchould go out of the Cabinet and use bis influence against the President, and should charge him with being in sym pathy with the South. Lincoln yielded aud Heal was executed. Tho reaction to Lincoln's nervous system was tuch that for days ho was far from veil. The effect on Booth was terrible, lie raved like a, madman, and "In his frenzy swore that Lincoln aud Seward should botli pay for the grief ond agony he had been put to. From tin; death of Heal. Booth brooded vengeance for that which he considered a personal affront. His rage took In tieward, and he en gaged Harold, Asterodt, and other to avenge Deal's death by killing Senard, while he, Hoolh, wreaked human ven geauce on the President. At last came the hour. Booth killed Lincoln His friends and the relatives or avengers of Heal tried their best to kill Soward, and when they left Mm stabbed, bleeding, and limp as a cloth, as ho rolled over behind the bed where,, on they found him, they supposed their work was completely iltine. Our story Is told. a have given the trutli of idstoiy. and toll exiatly why Abraham Lincoln, the humiiuo President ot the United Stated was killed. WATTKUSON ON THK IMtKI'HM).

Thus equipped the new pnrty is to proceed upon St. Louis, capture tho Democrats, nnd force the acceptance of Its ticket a la Ualtlmorc. All the lion est Iniptactlcables nre booked hy the Uraphic for lis nrrangemeiits which is given with considerable detail. Tito Independent Voter, according to the theory of this schedule, hns lost faith in bis capacity to cope with the drill-master. After (Jurtls's fiilltiri' In Albany what hop" Is there ngalnst s'.rntegy ? The Idea, therefore, Is to go outside, the lines of buttle and the i nlis of war, to come down upon the opposing hosts by parnllelogrnm.to pnrnlee thotitintlilium, nml entry otf the swag In a hand basket. In a won), General Ivllpatrlck's famom envaliy movement at Itesaca Is to bo duplicated, with civil variations. In stead of " here's your panthom har.so mini," it is to bo " hero'n your mule." Wo I. It won't, vvoik. Tim Liberals cannot come out of the same hole they went In. There is neither tlmn nor op I'Oiluiilty to execute anv pigeon-whig movements this year. The drill-mas tors have tint l'epubllcau parly pig by the tail, ami he cannot get away from them. lie limy kick, leap, and squeal, but o no purpose. Tho nomination of Hiistow depisnils entirely on tho state of the Itoptibllcan liver when the Cin. cliiutl Convention meets. If the drill masters aro scarul they will take Cris tow itH n matter of thnt, or nothing. If they am not uliaid they will take Illalue. Morton, or Conkliug, if they arc neither, lint only n little pressed lor elbow room, thty will take Wash littrne. Tho bolt sketched by Tho Graphic cannot be successfully made. Before Schiirz nnd his followers are permitted to return to places fiom which they eau by any possibility play any pranks their hands will be securely tie I, Tim Republican managers aro loo wcij to Kin any tlsk.s. Nothing less than a tlilrd-terin, stands on the part of tin- Piesident's friends could cause a split, and, slr.ee l!ib.:oi:k, llil knap & Co. put Grant out of the way, there bus been the certainty of a united liand o( biother The whips have the laggards welllu hand The Iiidepeu tli-iil. oi cuts I live divlared against the Democrats. Thus the goo-t! swings high Tor the p.u tl-Mns, m ill the Honest Impracticable must, lor the time being, slug small. Hut -tippo-H the Cincinnati Conven tion should nominate Morton or Conk ling Mid the Jiidepeniler t Votel should levolt, i-et up a tniirlard for him.,elf, nominate a ticket, carry it to St Louis, what reception would he receive ? De llsion. The Democrats would say, "Sir, we salute you I Von are a very pretty person. The cut of your coat Is lovely. The sprig of wild Mower in your cap is simple, sweet, and emble matic, lint your in cl; is too short, your legs are too short, whilst your liaii is too long nnd you get it rattier late. You declare that you drsplse both par lies, yet seceding from one you como to the other ami aro willing to Join it provided you can name the terms. Kx euso us. If it be your purpose to pro ceed on principle proceed. If yon are independent alike of victory and votes the fates that reward disinterestedness be with you 1 You can lose nothing by our refusal to wear the collar you havo wrought. It Is a nice collar, but It don't suit us." Could anyone blamo the Democrats should anyone be sur prised ? The Independents have not given the Democrats a fair show. They affected to look for miracles, and be cause they got only the work of fallible men they havo made haste to cry down , the paity which haj given thm what they have clamored for Investigation, the avant courrler of reform. Hum bugging intrigues are, therefore, out of place. They come in bad gracu from the Liberals. But yesterday the New York Tribune spoke of the Itepubllcans as "sobered and cTJnStened." That Is the cii- of the rest, provided they oan get their man. It is with the. in a one man movement ; though we are inclin ed to doubt whether that one man must be Hrlstow, and for tho reason that Hrlstow Is a radical, strict discipline party Republican who would hardly co n sunt to any side-show arrangement. The only nomination that he wants Is a square-cut, tue line Republican nomi nation 'by the regular rank-and-file Re publicans in convention assembled at Cincinnati. If he cannot get that he is off and out. The Democrats, on the other hand, cannot be brought Into any crooked ness whatever. The only hope of the party is to return to the strict construc tion pricnlples of Jefferson and Jack son, from which, as a party, It has never Indeed departed, The platform of 1872 was sound and clear, no mat ter what the ticket was. Hottest money, home rule, and a tariff for reverue, joined to a popular demand for admin istrative reform, and led by a candidate who represents th spirit und letter of the platform these are the sole last surviving hope of those who aro not csrried away by provisional expedients and who prefer defeat to eon-plumy. For threo successive campaigus the Democratic pnrty has been toreed to compromise a part of Itself. This time It will try It alone plain straight no sugar, or sugar ol lead iu it. Of courfo It Is not unlikely that The Graphic' diagnosis of tho case Is ut fault, and Hint no audi Intrigue Is on font as that detailed In Its columns, Thei'e Is an Independent Voter, ami, being a lively atilnml, be Is not going to be fuippu'ssetl, nml will have to take himself somewhere. For out pnrt, Judg ing him by Ids oracles, wo despair of him. Ho will never act against tho Republican party In a crisis unless tho Democratic party be out of the way, and that Is Impossible just yet. Wo therefore look lo sett hltn a Republican, provided Morton or Conklliig Is not the Republican nominee ; and we tlo not expect to find lilin much of n disturbing element nt Cincinnati. .Mine's the pity, we confess; but It is well to take tilings as tlioy nre. If tho Democratic party with Its present advantage has not tha wisdom lo work Its way out let, it die, and then tliu Honest Impracticable can administer on Its remain?. Until we can get a new party, however, out and out, no moie crookedness -no more. Lancaster Letter. 1, iSCA.srr.it, April 2 it;u.
