©UR PRESENT PRESIDENT.
ffi® this
life $k v twenty'-two minutes past seven
O’clock on the morning of last Saturday,
has left behind him a stainless nanje,
•which jurist forever be remembered
"With .gratitude and affection by this
Tfeople/ The epithet *Mck had upon his
first entry to the Presidential mansion been
affixed to that name ip scorn and derision,
has long since become the honest and justi
-fiable expression of the popular love. He
-waß emphatically tie “ father” of the Feo
■ple. That “fattier” has died a Martyr to
the preservation of the Union for his
children. His record in our history will
be as clean and white as that of Qeobgb
Washington. His name will only stand
•second to and at no great distance from
that of r Urn whose enduring courages
persistent patience, and selfless patriotism
first made us a growing Nation : among the
Nations of the earth.
But the loss which we have sustained—
the Mss of Abbaham Lincoln, that good
and great man —is one which had been de
termined upon by God. It is—we say this
with reverence, but unhesitatingly—to
serve God’s purpose that he has been taken
ri JlrQigpS. A sterner and less gentle hand
s'mayf'iit this juncture have been required to
J fake hold of the reins of Government.
His Excfellency Andrew Johnson, in
augurated as Vice President of these States
on the same day that Abbaham Lincoln
a second time took the Oath of Office, now
occupies the foremost place upon this
continent.
Some two weeks since the forces of the
Bebellion were compelled to evacuate Pe
tersburg, by thecrushing defeats which they
had recently sustained and the advance of
Gen. Shbbman into North Carolina.
' A few days after, we received intelligence
of the flight from Richmond of the leaders
of the rebellion with the rebel General Lbe
and his whole army.
On Sunday week the surrender of Gen.
Lbe and all his forces to Lieut. Gen.
Gbant, by whose superb military ability
■and unequalled combinations this war has
been brought, so rapidly, close upon its ter
mination, came to hand ; and on Monday
morning was very generally announced by
the press.
The night of last Friday, at the end of
Lent, our late President, Abraham Lin
coln, perished by the dastardly hand of a
miserable assassin—it is generally believed
John Wilkes Booth —thus sealing by his
Martyrdom that great series of success and
victory which has been accomplished, under
Providence, through his agency.
Upon Saturday, at 11 o’clock, Andrew
Johnson took the Oath of Office’ at his
rooms in the Kirkwood House. Several of
the leading statesmen thdfin Washington
were present, as well as most of the mem
bers'of the Cabinet.
. It was administered to him by; Chief
Justice Chase. ;-V.
" Accepting gravely and earnestly the so
lemn responsibilities which devolved upon,
him', he made the following brief but im
pressive speech: “ The duties of the office
are mine. I will perform them. The con
sequences are with God, Gentleipen, I
Shall lean upon you. I feel that I shall heed
your support. lam deeply impressed, with
the solemnity of the occasion and the re
sponsiriilflifis of the offide I ain assutn
-1316 vigor exhibited, in
these few' Words wui go. far to satisfy
even those of the opposite party to oursetyea
in politics, who, although reasonable
men, have strongly deprecated the chance
of his being called to the official situation
he now holds, as the actual Head 6f this
Government. Thq sense of his duties which
the first words' betray is a guarantee to
ourselves that he will conscientiously en
deavor completely to fulfil the duties which
Providence has imposed upon him. He
accepts the task of conducting this sad but
necessary war with the rebellious States,"
now almost closed, to a speedy termina
tion. He also accepts the grave and more
onerous duty imposed upon him, by the
reconstruction of the government of the re
bellious States, with a full and complete
sense of the responsibilities which attend
any man who might have been called to
the Government of this People at so mo
: mentous a period in its history. That he
does not intend very widely to differ from
the policy pursued -by Abbaham Lincoln,
in discharging the duties of his office, may
be inferred from the fact that almost inane
' diately after he had taken the Oath
he met the heads of the different Depart
ments at the Treasury Building, and an
nounced to them that “ he desired to retain
the present Secretaries of Departments as
his Cabinet, and that they could go on and
discharge their respective duties in the same
manner as before the deplorable event that
had changed the head of the Govern
ment” —Mr. William Hcnteh having
been appointed Acting Secretary of State
during the temporary disability of Mr. Se
ward and Ms son, Frederick W. Sbwabd,
the Assistant Secretary. This, his first
step after his Inauguration, indicates, as
we firmly believe, that the policy of the
present President of the United States will
• be the same as that of him who has been,
called so suddenly from the duties of his
position by the will of Providence. Its
action wilPin -all probability be conducted
with a greater vigor, and a sterner and
more decided course be followed with re
gard to the leading agents in the Bebellion.
At the same time, we feel convinced that
Justice will be tempered with Mercy.
We do not presume to indicate to him
our wish that this should be so. It is an
(Offensive act, and one which violates every
■sense of decorum, to endeavor in any way
■to bias the action ndw, and in this
■office, untried President.
Simply from his own words and imme
diate action,, we point out to the People
what he gives them reason to expect from
him. '
There are grave and most serious ques
tions looming before us. Prominent among
these, is the future of the emancipated Ne
gro and man of color when this bloody and
atrocious Kebellion shall be finally closed.
Of scarcely less importance is the state of
. our national Finances, and the means
•which will have to be adopted to pay off
the expenses of the war, which we confi
dently anticipate seeing soon terminated.
. And another .vital question will almost im
anediately arise, touching our Foreign
Yelicy and the line of conduct which we
shall have to adopt towards those Powers
who have given an underhanded yet de
cided support to the Rebellion. On all
these questions the present President will
be almost unhampered by the action of the
preceding one. It wi ll be for bim to de
<dde upon, and to follow out the course of
which will be most consistent with
the future growth prosperity of the
Nation. As we. have already said, it would
violate every sense of decorum were we to
endeavor to bias the action of Andrew
Johnson by pointing out to him the desire,
or laying befolre him the wishes which we
believe are now felt by all consistent
Unionists.
He has been.summoned by the Will of
Providence to the Presidency of the .United
Its hand has been so singularly stretched
out over this People in the last four years—
may we not’ say, since we first began to
tread the Path of Empire ? —it has so singu
larly guided our counsel and strengthened
our arms, that we confidently express our
conviction that it has chosen the right man
to fill the rigit place. We most cordially
recommend the consideration of his Inau
gural Speech, »and his first act in assuming
his present position, to the country. By
these, it will see that it was no unjas.
tifiable desire for a new man that induced
this People to elect him.Yice President,-
with the little expected possibility of his
being called by the death of Abbaham
Lincoln to fill the Presidential chair.
Knowing him as we do, although filled:
with the deepest regret and sorrow by the
sudden and cruel death of the great and
good man whom he succeeds, we hail his
accession with a profound r belief that he
will prove an able successor to him whom
we have lost. And we feel confident, that’
on his retirement, whether by death, or the
close of the Presidential term, from his
present exalted position, we shall be able
to say that anothef “ gbeat and good
man ” Will have added his name* to the
number; of those Presidents who have a
right to be thus registered in the history
of our country.
TBE 1/ATJK PRESIDENT.
The sobriquet oi “ Honest Abb Lincoln,”
expressing the popular opinion of the late
President’s leading characteristic, was
well bestowed. If ever a public.man were
honest, it was Mr. Lincoln. His integri
ty was above all challenge, all suspicion.
"There never was a publicist more wholly
free from guile.. His action upon any
question, or part of a question, could be
predicated, almost unerringly, from the
public knowledge of his transparent cha
racter. He meant what he said. He was
superior to all the glozing arts which too
often attach themselves to diplomacy and
statesmanship.' He was above the misera
ble ingenuity of making “the worse ap
pear the better reason.”’ He was delibe
rate, sometimes even slow, perhaps, in ar
riving at a conclusion, hut when he did he
adhered steadily to it, for it then was a con
viction within his heart. He was persist
ent as well as consistent; never violent
but always in earnest. A sincere lover of
truth, he was open, frank, communicative
in his conversation, for he had nothing to
conceal. Candid himself he loved can
dor in otheMnen; the path to his attention,
esteem, and confidence was the straight
line of probity and truth. Emphatically,
indeed, Abbaham Lincoln was God’s no
blest work, ah honest man.
Self-made, beyond any citizen who had
previously attained the curule dignity, Mr.
Lincoln might fairly be taken, and was
taken by contemporary rulers and states
men abroad, as personally representing
the. American character. He sprung from
the people, and never forgot that he
did. To a great extent he was
self-taught—picking up what he knew
in the after hours between bodily labor
and , rest, and {hough with little ac
cess, in his youth,- to never
quitting one until he had fully mastered all
tHat it contained.* With one volume he
was famili&T from his boyhood—he was a
constant student of the Word of God, from
his youth upward, and, whatever his sta
tiop, never qllqwed % day to pass, with
out reading his jßihle. Of this he made no
parade, for his religions convictions, deep
and sincere, were not paraded by him, at
anytime. He did not wear his religion
upon his sleeve, as the -Pharisees do, but
held it in Ms heart, a lively hope, a con
stant solace, a firm faith.
His career is well known. His was not
a meteoric appearance, “a flash amid dark
ness, too brilliant to stay,” but a steady
and constantly increasing light, which
finally illumined humanity. He com
menced Ms career, wMle yet a cMld, by
clearing away , the forest on Ms father’s
farm in Indiana. Of school education he
had little, hut he received it while thus
using the axe. When the ’family moved
to Illinois, he helped to build their log
cabin and split the rails wMch fenced their
little holding. After that, as is the fashion,
of our Western men, he tried a variety of
occupations, and even was a captain of
volunteers fluting the Black Hawk war,
when he was twenty-three years old.
Finally, he studied law, while engaged as
assistant to a land surveyor, and did his
work well. When twenty-five years old
he was elected to the State Legislature,
and was thrice re-elected. In 1807 he was
admitted to the bar, and practised at
Springfield, where his influence with
juries made Mm a leading advocate.
He was elected to Congress, and took Ms
seat in December, 1847, giving various
votes which showed how decidedly he was
opposed to Slavery.. He took Ms line, there
and then, and never left it. He had become
of so much importance in Illinois that he
was placed in candidature for the United
States SenatorsMp, to which the Demo
cratic Legislature elected General Shields.
He mainly helped to elect Judge Tbtjm
btjll as successor to General Shields.
In 1856 he was, presented by the Illinois'
delegation to the Republican National Con
vention as candidate for the Vice-Presi
dency. Two yeare later he ran against
Mr. Douglas for the Senatorship, and was
defeated, but exMbited so much ability,
Bbrewdness, tact, and .force as . a public
speaker during that contest, that hia nomi
nation at CMcagoin May, 1860, as candi
date for the Presidency, was undoubtedly
the result of Ms previous defeat by Mr.
Douglas. In his whole career Mr. Lin
coln ever went forward—persevering, able,
self-confident, and faithful to the princi
ples which literally grew with Ms growth
and stren’gthened with his strength.
His strongest national conviction was
that Slavery was not compatible with the
honor of tMs country, nor with humanity
itself. In Congress, sixteen years before
he was elected President, he voted for the
reception of anti-slavery petitions, for
abolishing the “peculiar institution” in
the District of Columbia, and. for proMbit
ing slavery in California. He introduced
a plan for compensating unwilling slave
owners from the public treasury, as had
been done by the British .Parliament in
1834. But he was opposed, then andafter'
to harsh measures for putting Slavery down,
and Ms first inaugural address expressly
declared so. During his term of office,
it is true, Slavery was annihilated, but
tMs was the consequence of the very re
bellion which was Organized to maintain
it. The time and the occasion finally ar
rived when the abolition of Slavery became
as politic as it undoubtedly was just, and
Mr, Lincoln did not .shrink from doing
hiS duty. S e was fortunate, also, in living
to see his national policy successful, by the
virlnal defeat of the rebellion and the cer
tainty of the country being re-united. He
has perished in the prime of his life' and
the fulness of his fame, the victim of the
same fanaticism which created the rebel
lion, but no . public man—not even .Wash
ington himself—has ever left a purer po
litical and personal record. His epitaph
might truly be :
“ Pbacb to his abhbb—Hb hath sbbvbd Man-
XIKD.”
This man, resolute in doing his duty, pos
sessed as kind a heart as ever beat. Faith
ful and loving in his domestic relations, he
was gentle and courteous ■ to all. who came
into his society. Without doubt, few pub
lic men were so constantly worked as Mr.
Lincoln, during the whole time he was in
office. Our President governs, wMle, for
the most part, foreign sovereigns merely
reign, their responsible Ministers ma
naging all the details. But Mr. Lin
coln had to give audience to almost
innumerable persons, to receive .solici
tations, to read recommendations, and
testimonials, to compare conflicting claims,
and to do that, personally, which is done
elsewhere by Ministers and their secreta
ries and clerkß. Few quitted Mm with
out being charmed by Ms quick intel
ligence and bis frank courtesy l His good
temper appeared unconquerable; nothing
ever seemed to ruffle it, not even the per
sistency wi{h which unreasonable persons
would frequently urge untenable claims
for them sfelves or friends. He was a very
agreeable conversationist, often seasoning
his discourse with quips and faeetim,
and fond of illustrating a fact or
an argument by some apt anecdote or quo
tation, ever “ witMn the limits of becoming
mirth.” , His manners were plain and sim
ple, and, therefore, unaffectedly courteous
and even captivating. He looked you in
the eye, like the true man he was, and ever
delighted to meet men as frank and simple
as himself. Among Ms many virtues, his
clemency was eminent. The requirements
of discipline and the stern- necessity of war
brought many persons under punishment)
more or less severe, and, in numerous in
stances, Mr. Lincoln, when his duty al
lowed him, kindly forgave the offender,
and thereby, we are sure, enabled him to.
begin a new and better career. f ■ -.v
Mr. Lincoln’s intellect was strong-arid
clear. He had read, not nfuch but well,
and Ms favorite books were historical. His
oratory was a thing of itself—expressive,
lucid, and masculine. In this it resembled
Ms writing, bat the spoken was usually
better than the written production. What
ever he expressed, it was honest and sin
cere. No DOUBLE MEANING COULD jSE DE
TECTED IN IT. ,
Lastly, Mr. Lincoln was a Patriot,, in
the largest meaning of the word, He lflted ]
his country, and was proud of
whole soul was devoted to the high pur
pose of maintaining that Union which had
made her, in a wonderfully brief time, the
greatest empire in, the world. And now,
because of his Patriotism, he lies cold in
death. But the cause which he maintained
cannot perish with this great and good
man, at once its Champion and its Martyr.
A nation mourns over its loss, and History
will write his name with a pencil of light
upon her imperishable page. •
An Anacbbonibm.—Errors of the press are some
times very amusing. In the Philadelphia Inquirer
of Saturday we find the following: “Lord Pal.
merston replied that the Government respeoted tfb
Pope personally very much,.but for him to come to
England would be both an anacreonlsin and a selo
olsm.” ’

RICHMOND.
An Order By General Ord—lts
Happy Effect.
REBEL STRAGGLERS OFFERED PAROLES.
LRIE NOT GONE SOUTH.
GENERAL NEWS—ORDER Mo. 9.
Washington, April IS.—Major General Ord has
Issnedan order addressed to the people of Richmond
and its vicinity, stating that no difficulty will be
made In admitting them to bring marketing to that
city. They are invited to eommenoe their ordinary
traffic at once, and are assured of protection In
passing to and fro within the lines of the United
States farces. The citizens of Richmond and shop
keepers and others are also requested to resume
their ordinary avocations as speedily as possible.
It is the wish and Intention of the military authori
ties to protect all good and peaceable olttzens, and
to restore In as great a measure as may to practi
cable the. former prosperity of the Oity. No Mo
lestation by soldiers or others will be allowed to
any who are engaged in peaceful pursuits.
Gentlemen who arrived here from Richmond to
day say that this order has already had the most
happy effect, the citizens being enoonraged to re
sume their vacations in the full assurance of pro
teotlon.
Another order has been Issued by Gen. E. O. O.
Ord, which 1b as follows:
“ All officers and soldiers of the Army of North
ern Virginia, who were not present at the surrender
of that army by Gen, Robert E. Lee, at Appomat
tox Court House, on the 9th of April, 1866, are here
by Informed that the terms of capitulation are ex
tended to them, and that they can at once avail
themselves of the same by coming within the lines
of the United States forces, at or near Richmond,
laying down their arms and receiving their pa
roles.”
The gentleman who communicated the above In
formation says that General Lee did not, after the
surrender, repair to North’Oarollna, hut has been
remaining at Appomattox Court House to carry out
the terms of the capitulation. It Is supposed that
he Is by this time In Rlohmond, General Grant
having extended to him the courtesy of an escort of
one hundred cavalry. . The best possible good
leeling exists between these two generals.
The people of Virginia are gradually res inning their
former business relations, and all regard the war as
practically at an end. Nothing deanlte lias recently
been heard In Bichmond respecting Johnston’s
army, but It Is the general Impression that It will
either be disbanded or will melt away by desertions,
provided a spirit to conciliate the discordant ele.
monti be manifested. A wise policy to min bach
the people generally as loyal fellow-oltlsens Is re
garded as of the utmost Importance at this juncture
of our a [Tatra, and henoe the tone of the Northern
press is highly appreciated by all calm and reflect
ing Southern oltlzenß. '

and that, until he arrives and confers with General
Grant, no oaptured property, coming nndor the act
of Congress authorizing the Treasury to take charge
of It, will be permitted to bo removed from its pre
sent place or. deceit;
Libby Prison contained, yesterday, upwards Of
3,000 Cor federate prisoners—military, political, and
Ctrl I—but they are being released as. fast as the
papers necessary to their, conditions of release oan
be made out.
We learn that Captain Robert Ould, Confederate
Commissioner of Exchange; Lieut. Colonel We.
H. Hatch; Assistant President Bullooh, of the South
ern Express Company * and H, A. Hamilton, the
agent, were captured within General Grant’s lines
driving In a wagon, they having driven Into the
lines by mistake. Upon discovering their, error
they surrendered* The prisoners were brought to
Richmond under a guard, and won liberated, on
parole, on Thursday morning..
All prisoners of war aro aent direct Richmond
'to City Point,as soon as' received. None but citi
zens, prisoners, and civilians, are delivered here,
and so rapidly are they taking the oath that the
blank forms have run out, being used faster than
they oan bo supplied by the printer.
The following 1b Lee’s farewell address to the
Army or Northern Virginia:
Headquarters Army or Northern Virginia,
April 10,1865,
gbhbralohdrr, no. 9.
After four years of arduous servtoe. marked by
unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of
Northern VlrglDla has been compelled to yield to
overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not
tell tbe survivors of so mauynard.fought battles,
who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have
consented to this result from no-distrust of them; but
feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish
Dotting that could compensate Tor the less that
would nave attended the continuation of the con
test, I have determined to avoid the useless sacri
fice of those whose past services have en
deared them to tbelr countrymen. By the
terms of agreement, officers and men can return, to
their homes, and remain there until exchanged.
You will take with you the satisfaction that pro
ceeds from tbe consciousness oi duty faithfully per
formed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God
will extend to you his blessings and protection.
Withsn unceasing admiration of your constancy
and devotion to your country, and a grateful re
membrance of your kind and generous considera
tion of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell.
R. E. Lee, General.

THB LOCALITY OF THE PRESIDENT’S WOUND—ITS
EFFECT AND PARTICULARS—THB PRESIDENT'S
Washington, April 15.—T0-day Surgeon Gene,
ral Barnes, Dr. Stone, the late President’s family
physician, Drs, Crane, Curtis, Woodward, Toff, and
other eminent medical men performed an autopsy
on the hody of the President. The external ap.
pearance of the face was that of a deep black stain
about both eyes; otherwise the face was very natu
ral. The wound was on the left side of the heas,
behind, in a line with and three indhds from thfi
left ear. The course or the ball was obliquely
forward toward the right eye, crossing the brain
obliquely a few Inches behind the eye, where the
ball lodged. In the track of the wound were found
fragments of bone which had been driven forward
by the ball. The ball was found imbedded m the
anterior lobe of tbe west hemisphere, of the brain.
The orbit plates of both eyes' were the seat of com
minuted fracture, and the orbits of the eyes were
filled with extravasated blood. The serious Injury
of the orbit plates was due to the oontre-ooup, the
result of the Intense shook of so large a projectile,
fired so closely to the head. The baU was evidently
a Derringer, hand-oast, and from which the neck
had been clipped. A shavfng of lead had been re
moved from the ball In Its passage through thebohes
of the skull, and was found-In the orlfloe of the
wound. The first fragment of bone was found one
and a half inches within the brain, the second and
larger fragment about four inches from the orifloe
of the wonnd. The ball lay still further In advance.
The wound was half an inch in diameter. The cor.
fin of the President measures In the dear six ieet
six inches, and is eighteen . Inches across* the
breast. . ' 'k-jjfc
THB OBSEQUIES OP THB LATH POBSIDENT.
Washington, April 16.—The corpse of the late
President has been laid cutin the room known as
the guests’ room, In tbe northwest wing of the White
House. It Is dressed in the suit of black clothes
worn by him at his last Inauguration. A placid
smile rests upon the features, and the deceased
seems to be In a calm sleep. White flowers have
been placed upon the pillow and over the breast.
The corpse of the President will be laid in state in
the east room on Tuesday, In order to give the public
an opportunity, to see once more the features
of him they loved so well. Preparations ate being
made to that end under the supervision of uphol.
Btererß. The catafalque upon which the body will
regt is to be placed in. the south pfcrt of the east
room, and Is somewhat similar in style to that
used on the occasion of the death of Har
rison. Steps will be placed at the side to* enable
the public to get a perfect view face. The
catafalque will be lined with fluted white satin, and
on the entside it will be covered with black olotb
and kirk velvet. It is understood that the funeral
of President Lincoln will take place on Thursday
next. The Rev. Dr, Gurley, of New Ybrk-avenue
Preßbyterlan Church, where the President and his
family have been accustomed to .worship, will
doubtless be the officiating clergyman. The re-'
mains will be temporarily deposited-in h vault of

STATE PROCEEDINGS.
General Ogelsby, of Illinois, today received by
telegraph the proceedings of the meeting at spring
field on Saturday,without distinction of party, and
the names of the gentlemen comprising the commit
tee to escort the remains of President Ltnooln to
the capital of. that State. Last night a meeting Of
citizens of lowa, to the number of about Sixty, was
held in this city. Governor Stone, .of lowa, pre
sided, and delivered a short address with reference
to recent events, and remarks were also made by
other gentlemen, when resolutions were adopted
expressive of their sorrow at the-death of the
President, and their sympathy with Secretary Se
ward in his afflictions, and of their confidence In the
patriotism, courage, and ability of President John
son for the faithful discharge of the duties now de
volving upon Mm.
Governor Stone, during the proceedings, stated
that he had just had a long conversation with Pre
sident Johnson in regard to Ms policy as Chief Ma
gistrate, In which the latter said that while bo
would deal kindly and leniently with the mass'of
the people of the South, and the rank and file of their
army, regarding them, as he did, merely as the.vio
tims and sufferers of the rebellion, he would heverthA
less be careful not to pursue any policy wMoh would
prevent the Government from visiting condign pun
ishment on the guilty authors of the rebellion,; The
President regarded as due to the loyal people of the
country and to the memory of the thousands of
brave men who have of the Union
during this struggle. and ,to ; of justice
and freedom throughout'-the-world, that treason
shall still be regarded as’the highest crime under
tbe Constitution and flgg, and that treason shall be
. rendered infamous.for all time to oome. While he
held these sentiments, he should endeavor so to act ’
aa'lp gain the confidence of the deceived apd be*
trhyed masses of the Southern people, regarding
them as ,the proper material for reconstructing
thoineurgent States, and restoring them to their
proper-relations to the Government, He would
neither recognize nor hold official communication
with those whojfiad occupied official stations in or
acknowledged the sovereignty!)! the rebel Govern
ment. For four years he had fought the rebellion
with all the energy of Ms character. He will knew
tbe terrible outrages to which loyal citizens In the
South had been subjected, and it was his determi
nation to act In such a manner as would best pro- '
tect Individual rights and vindicate the character
of the Government. He expresseddeep sympathy
with the betrayed and deluded masses ol the South,
earnestly desiring tbelr return to their allegiance
to the Government and the restoration of their
former peaceand prosperity.
• .Governor Stone expressed himself highly gratified
with these views of the President, and predicted
that the expectations of the true friends of the coun
try would he fully realized in the wisdom, firmness;
and patriotism wMch would characterize President
. Jobnson’s administration, and that, the sentiments
- ottered by him will find an earnest response In the
people of the great West. . '
NARROW ESCAPE OE REBELS IN WASHINGTON,
General, Paine, a rebel officer, and tils two adju
t&nts and an orderly sergeant were captured ia Yir*
fttola yesterday, and were this afternoon brought
Washington. As they passed throughtae city
thousands, of exoited citizens followed them, evi
dently supposing that they were In some way con
nected with the late assassination, and exclaimed,
“ Hang them up I” “ hang them I” They w'ere con
ducted to the Office of the provost marshal, and
after the necessity examination, ordered terbe com
mitted to the Old CapltoL They wore brought out
the back way, and several companies of the Reserve
Corps were ordered to the scene .as a precaution
against a riot. The excitement soon after subsided,
an announcement having been officially made that
those In custody were prisoners of war. !
\ * WASHiNffroN, April 16,
THB PEKSTDBNT FOREWARNED.
weeks slnoe ascertained from per
sonal friends of the late President that he. had re
celvedseyeral private letters, warning him that an
attempt would probably be made upon his life, but
to these he did hot seem to attach much, if buy, Im
portance.’ It has always been thought that he was
not sufficiently careful of his Individual! safety,
especially in his late vlßit to Virginia. It Is known
that on frequent occasions he would start from the
Executive mansion, at the Soldiers’ Home, without
the usual cavalry escort, but the latter often hur-
Sedan d overtook him bo loro he had proceeded far on
sis journey, it has always been understood that this
escort was accepted by him only on the importunity
of friends as a matter of preoautlon. The President
be/ore retiring to bed would, when Important mili
tary events were progressing, visit the War Depart
ment, generally passing over the dark Intervening
■grounds alone at late hours. On repeated occasions
and after the warning letters had been received,
several close and Intimate friends, armed for the
emergency; were careful that he should not con
tinue his visits without their company. For him
self, the President seemed to have no fears. The
above facts have heretofore been known to tbe
writer of this telegram, bnt for prudential reasons
ho has not stated them until now. As everything
pertaining to the last hours of the President must
be interesting to the public, the following Inoldents
of the last day of his life' have been obtained from
several sources:
His son, Captain Robert Lincoln, breakfasted
with him on Friday morning, having just returned
from the capitulation of Lbb, and the President
passed a happy hour listening to all Its. details.
While at breakfast he heard that SpeakerCoLPAx
was in the house, and sen t word that he wished to
Eeejflm immediately in the reception room. He
conversed with Mr. Colfax nearly an hour about
his future polloy as to the rebellion which he was
about to submit to the Cabinet. Afterwards he had
an Interview with Mr. Hale, minister to Spain. At
eleven Ms Cabinet and General Grant met with
him, and in one of the* most satisfactory and import
ant Cabinet meetings held slnoe his first Inan
gnration the future polloy of the Administration
was harmoniously and unanimously agreed on.
When It adjourned Secretary Stanton said
he felt that the Government was stronger than at
any previous period Slnoe the rebellion oommenoed.
In the afternoon he had a long and pleasant Inter
view with Gen. Ogblsb v, Senator Yateb, and other
leading citizens of his State. In the evening Mr.
Colfax called again, at his reqnest,and Mr. Abh
-hun, of Massachusetts, who presided over the Chi
cago Convention of 1160, was present. To them he
spoke of Ms visit to Richmond, and when they
stated there was much uneasiness at the North
while he was at the rebel capital, for fear some
traitor might shoot at him, he replied, jocularly,
that he would have been alarmed himself if any
other person had been President and gone there, but
he did not feel In any danger whatever. Conversing
on a matter of business with Mr. Abhmun, he made
a remark that he saw Mr. A. was surprised at, and
immediately, with his well-known kindness of heart,
said: “You did not understand me, Ashhun; I
did not mean what you inferred, and will takedt all
back and apologize for It.” He afterwards gave
Mr. Ashhun a card to admit himself and friend
early the next morning to converse further about it.
THB LAST ACT OF HIS LIFB.
Turning to Mr. Colfax he said: “ You are going
with Mrs. Lincoln and I to the theatre I hope 1” but
Mr. Colfax had other engagements,- expecting to
leave the olty the next morning. He then said to Mr.
Colfax, “ Senator Scxnbb has the gavel of the
Confederate Congress, whloh he got atßfohmond,
tohand to the Seeretary of War, but I Insisted then
that he must give It to you, and you oan tell him, for
me, to bandit, over.”
Mr. Ashhun alluded to the gavel whloh he still
had, which he used at the Ohleago Convention, and
the President and Mrs. Lincoln, who were also In
the parlor, rose to go to the theatre. It was half an
hour after'the time they had intended to start, and
they spoke about, waiting half an hour longer, for
the President went with reluotanee, as General
GBAHT, who Mid been advertised as well as himself
to be there, had gone North, and he did not wish,
the people to be disappointed. At the door he
stopped and said ; 11 Colfax, do not forget to tell
the people In the mining regions, as you pass
through them, what I told you this morning about
their development when peace oomes, and I will
telegraph you at San Franeisoo.” He shook hands
with both gentlemen with a pleasant good-bye> and
leftthe Executive Mansion never to return to It
alive.
