SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS.
JOY CIVES PLACE TO MOURNING,
THE FUG OF VICTORY HIDDEN BY THRBADBK
OF MOVBHINO.
Four yeareof rebellion have brought to the heart
of nearly every citizen of tug Republic deep and
fleavy sighs tar loved ones lost evermore to them.
There are vacant places at the hearthstone, and
voices which had been heard only to be loved, have
been hashed In the silence of deaths Never, how
ever, la the history of any people has there-been
snob universal grief, such Intensity,of-sorrow, suoh
Irrepressible indignation, and sujh nnmltlgated
desire for revenge, as occupied* tbe minds of
the loyal American people on the receipt o
the news, on Saturday last, of the murder of v
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
President Lincoln, by his nnassnmlng manners,
Bis simplicity of character, his honesty of purpose,
Ills untiring efforts for the best good of this whole
people, North and South, had endeared him to every
patriot heart,. These feelings have increased In
Intensity as the true character of Abraham Lincoln
has shone out nnder the searching rays of the sun
shine of a political contest the most fierce, libellous,
and unforgiving In its obaraoter that ever agitated
any people. This, toe, after four years of agitation
by fierce and bloody war, In which the wisest of
the nation differed, In which heads of armies
were conquered, and their forces scattered or driven
like chaff before the wind. In the'midstof all these
excitements we: say, and we say it with pride and
Jove for Abraham Lincoln, there was not one word
that oonld be said against him. There was no <IUO3*
tton about his honesty of purpose—what he said he 5
meant, and what he meant he said. There was no
mistaking his aots. There was no duplicity In him.
As,the people began to know him better they began
to love him more. His acts were tall of kindness
and love, and when. In the hourof victory, he was so
mereltal, when It was known that the soldierly and
generous terms offered by General .Grant, and ac
cepted by General Lee on .Ms surrender, were
prompted by the affectionate -heart of Abraham
Lincoln, mi given -*’? him to General Grant’
those who’ had -befiffa apposed Abraham Lincoln,
loyal, conservative Democrats, sow respected, If
they did sot love him. President Llsools visited
this city several times. His last vlslt-was during
the Sanitary Fair Exhibition, at whioh time
he received all of out oltlzens who oalled
upon him with a cordial shake of the hand
and a kind word to eaoh. All well remember
the visit of Mr. Lincoln to the Sanitary Fair,
and those who have had the honor of his ac-
quaince will say that he was the embodlmept of
the genuine Idea of an Americas citizen. Were we
oalled opon by a citizen or another land to point out
one whbi% we considered a good representative
American, ‘ we would point to Abraham Lincoln.
No false Ideas of aristocracy occupied Ms mind; no
pride ever reigned In his heart. He took the poor
suffering slave by the hand, and said to him, “by
the help of God and by the assistance of my people
the manacles by whioh you suffer shall be removed
forever." Knowing these things,lb It to be wondered
at that our people on Saturday last united Jn sorrow
at his loss—tespect for his memory 1 Stout men wept,
women gathered on the doorsteps and sidewalks and
.condoled with eaoh other, and little children joined
in the general grief. There were few dry eyes— there
were fewer troubled hearts. Early on Saturday
morning most of the fiags with whioh the streets
were glorious were still Buttering In the breeze. As
the terrible tidings became known they were re-‘
moved, and when the despatohannounolng the death
of the President came flags were hung In mourning,
and at half mast; stores all over the olty were
elosed, and emblems of woe hung upon nearly
every house In the olty, and the transition
from gladness to dismay was as observable In
the house fronts as on the faces of the people.
There was a general expression of indignation, and
a desire for revenge among all classes was univer
sal. Work was suspended everywhere and the
streets were thronged with sorrowful crowds of
citizens.
In numerous parts of the city the festoontngs were
arranged with something like artistic taste. We
noticed American flags very neatly shrouded In
black; In many places orape or black muslin spread
from house to house along entire squares. In one In
stance we observed a poor woman, who oonld not
raise more than two yards of biaok muslin, engaged
in placing the emblem of mourning on the window
sill of her humble abode. It was In one of the small
local thoroughfares. Her act was one of pure pa
triotism. The contrast to this la the large marble
palace on Chestnut street. It is known as the
Custom House. A flag Is tastefully arranged over
the doorway, but the columns in front of the struc
ture present no emblems or sorrow.
The Post Office Is worthy of a passing remark. It
was arrayed In solemn grandeur. This was the
work of the olorkß employed there. Iu many
sections -or the olty the pedescrl&u may have ob
sefved mourning emblems tastefully grouped with
the national -shield, or small fiags in the centra of
window-heads or sills, or door heads, Itosetteß of
black were fastened with streamers of red, white,
and blue, and trl-colored rosettes were streamed
with black ribbon. National shields, with a frame
work of orape, the likeness of the Illustrious de
ceased, and of Union generals, appeared In green
wreaths Interspersed with red, blue, white, and
black. In a number of instances, mottoes were dis
played, the most prominent of which was the fol
lowing : “ A nation mourns for a father slain.”
THB TOLLING OF THB BELLS*
When the actual faot of Mr. Lincoln's death, bo
name settled the old State Bouse bell rang out a
solemn requiem knell, Its reverberations striking
heavily on every loyalheart- But a few days sln<»
It blithesozDcly rft&g forth & Merry j joyous peal over
the great news of Bee’s surrender, and now how
.great the change 1 Soon the church and engine
bells followed in tbe solemn tolling, and did honor
to the great departed.
PROCEEDINGS IN THB COURTS.
United States Cutout t Ooubt— Judges drier
and Cadwalader.—The Court met at noon Saturday,
when the announcement of the death of President
Lincoln was made by Dlstriot Attorney Gilpin in
tbe following language:
May it please the Court, it is my sad duty to an
poimce to the Court the death of the President of
the United Stateß. Abraham Dlnooln died this
morning at twenty-two mioutes past seven o’alocfc.
Four years ago yesterday our flag was stricken
down at Sumpter by the hands of national assassins.
Yesterday, Abraham Lincoln fell by the hand of
an assassin, actuated and impelled by the same un
holy purpose.
For four years he guided and led a loyal but af
flicted people through the wilderness of rebellion,
and brought them within sight of the promised land.
From PJsgah’s top he saw, but was not permitted to
enter it with the people whom he loved. Would
that he could have been spared, but it has been or
dered otherwise.
May he who in this* hour of Na tlonal bereavement
is catted to wear his mantle, prove, under the guid
ance of Providence, a worthy successor.
Judge Grier then said that the Court would be
adjourned till Monday, tbe 521 inst.
Judge Cadwalader announced that the United
states District Court would stand adjourned till
next Friday, that being tbe longest period to which,
under the organization of the Court, it could be ad
journed.
Supreme Court at Nisi Puma—-Justice Read.
--At the opening ol the court, his Honor Judge
Read announced with feeling and appropriate words
the sad bereavement which has fallen on the United
States, by tbe lamented death of the President. He
said his own feelings would render itdnapproprlate
to transact any public business, and he doubted not
that the members of the bar participated with him and
with tbe public in their sorrow at the sad event? and
would prefer that the business of the court should
be adjourned. It was ordered by tbe court that the
.-foregoing minute be entered on the records, and
that, as a further mark of respeot to the memory of
the illustrious deceased, it was ordered that the
boon stand,adjourned until Saturday, tbe 22d inst.
Dibtriot Court— Judges Stroud and Hare.—On
the opening of the Blstriot Court, George Juukln,
Bsq., arose, ana after a brief allusion to the assassi
of President Lincoln, moved an adjournmen
. -of the Court.
Judge Stroud (Judge Sbarswood being absent oh
account of slokness) replied, that to do otherwise
than grant this motion would do violence to his
•own. feelings, and the sentiments of the whole com
munity. Nothing qould have boon more unlocked
Tor than the appalling event whloh had induced this
motion. To meditate the death of so good and great
a man as Abraham Lincoln wag a crime of startling
Atrocity. To consummate it by open assassination,
in the midst of his family and friends, could soareely
be paralleled in tbe darkest pages of history.
It seems difficult to believe that a man of suoh
blameless morals and pare patriotism could have
provoked the enmity of any one. I allude to his
patriotism, as comprising in one word the highest
praise which oan be rightfully ascribed to human
mature. Patriotism Is the essence of every virtue.
No one without this can be a true Christian or a
true philanthropist. Abraham Llneoln’s life was
•the best expression of all these virtues.
Let ttemotion be granted allowing a cessation
of the business of this Court until Saturday the 221.
Court of Common Elbab— Judge AlUsou The
Court met at the usual-hoar, when Bavtd Paul
Brown, Esq., moved that, in view of the sad cala
mity whichhad fallen upon the country by the as
sassination of the President, the Gourt adjourn.
Judge Allison said that he’ had Intended of his
own motion to adjourn the court. It was but a few
days ago that he had adjourned the court In order
that all true men, men who bad at heart the good
of the oountry, might have an opportunity of re
joicing and congratulation on the then auspicious
and happy prospects of the country.
Now they haa met here to mourn over the un*
timely death of the President of the United States,
Tfho was strloken down by the hand of an assassin
and In whose person, as the chosen'man of the
people, we were all stricken a own.
The President, whose death we mourn, was not
only the chosen of the people, but, as he believed,
the chosen ol God, that God one of whose attributes
was mercy, but another of whose attributes was
justice.
The Judge continued at some length, and with
muoh feeilog, his remarks, saying that this great
mlstorlnne whloh had befallen the nation should
teaoh ng a lesson we had almost forgot, in the dispo
sition too mueh manifested recently lu high quartan*
-to deal leniently with the rebels or the South, whose
hands are still red with the blood- of our kinsmen,
-that though there is such a thing as mercy, there is.
Also justice which should be meted out to these
men, some of whom should hang. *
It is said In Holy Writ that “ they that take up
the sword shall perish by tbe sword.”
. He said that he had determined under the CUOUm
stances, to adjourn the court until Monday the
24th Inst. - ■ ; ....
The court was accordingly adjourned.
Court of Quarter Sessions— Hon. James K.
Ludlow, Associate Justloe; Wm. B. Mann, Esq.,
Proiecutlng Attorney.—At the opening of the court
'■Mr. Mann arose and, with a voice tremulous with
emotion, said: - ,
May It please your Honor, the notes of exulta
tion that tilled the air but yesterday find their
echoes this morning In the universal wall of a free
speople. An event without preoedent in djmerioan
history has oecurred.

tlon of President of the United States, has been
slain by lawless violence, end at a moment, when
bis great and good heart was overflowing with love
:for all the people of the entire country.
Just as he was about reuniting the broken baud of
-our dissevered Union, he died a martyr to qis great
principles. Out of regard and respeotto the memo
ry of the late Chief Magistrate, and In view of this ■
national calamity, I move that this Court do now
adjourn. - . „
Jndae Ludlow,ln a very reeling manner,said:
In the awful calamity that has befallen the nation
we must all leel the deepest interest, most profound
sorrow At the very moment when the President
hid extended, and was about to extend, his kindly
f eß H t g to all the Inhabitants of the Union, he fell
hv the hand Of an -assassin-. No man can coatem
nlate this cWamlfy without serious emotion. No
one is fit for duty on so sad a day as this must be.
It V ordoiod that this court bo adjourned until

Sperlng, Freeman, Barlow, and Armstrong.
Common Council.—President stokley called the
-Counoll to order, and stated that it had been con
vened to consider the iamentod occurrence that had
spread gloom all over the country.
Mr. Wolbert moved that a recess be taken tar
fifteen mlnuteß to await the aation of Select Council.
Mr. Harper opposed this, and, afterafew remarks,
moved that a committee of five bo appointed to con
fer with a similar committee of the select Connell,
to take snob aotion as may be necessary on this
solemn occasion.
Mr. Wolbert withdrew his motion, and that of
Mr. Harper was adopted. The committee being ap

be Informed of the action of the Common CounoU.
The following-named gentlemen' constitute the

Mr. Willetts submitted a resolution that the Com

Mr. Fox moved.to;amend by Inserting, provided
that the appropriation does not exceed ffioo. This
was seconded by Mr. CreßswelL

not talk about amounts of money; he was prepared
to vote-for any amount to drape the public buildings
of FhUadelpMa, and In this he was sure the people
of the olty, whom we represent, will endorse It. He
was In favor of voting In any way or any amount to
pnnißh the villain who fired the pistol, or tot those
who aided him to perpetrate that oowardly act. As
an American citizen, he (Mr. Wolbert) was ready
to proclaim that he would vote any amount of mo
ney to protect the American Government, and Use
every honorable effort to find out the traitors who
have endeavored to destroy the best Government
ever devised for the benefit of mankind. Philadel
phia desires to do justice to the memory of the late
President of the united States, He was astonished
at the gentleman from the Tenth ward (Mr. Creswell)
desiring to limit the amount of money. This is not
the time to talk about amounts. No man dare to re
fuse to pay for a single flag that may-be draped by
the olty authorities. At this hour, aye, at this mi
nute, when every one of us should cry aloud that
we shall ever be a free people, and are ready to meet
any emergency, he trusted that we all have confi
dence In the Executive of the city; let him go on
until peace shall be declared, and then wd can ren
der praise to the Father of us all.
The amendment was withdrawn, and the further
consideration of the resolution was postponed for

recent victories, became shrouded in sorrow at the
terrible national calamity that astounded the com
munity on Saturday morning. The Shriller Hoae
Company, the Franklin, Southwark, Weeoaco, Ni
agara, Hope, Good Intent, and we may say all the
houses of the mapy fire companies, were soon array
ed In the black robes or mourning. Flags, appro
priately draped, were displayed from their “look

ATTACK OR THE “AGE” OFFICE. ...
At an beany hour or the May an excited crowd
gathered about the Age office, on Chestnut street,
oelow Fifth, and showed a disposition to tear out the
- plsce. The symptoms were so unmistakable that a
. police force if as ordered to its protection. Once or
twice a rush was made for the door, but the police
kept the crowd olf. Several arrests were made. At
one time there was a flank movement upon the
building, afid an effort made to reach .the rear
through an alley on Fifth street. The police, how
ever,.were on the alert, and succeeded in felling the
attempt. About eleven o’olook In the morning the
crowd became so dense that the police could do
very little, and tbe Mayor ordered the street to be
cleared, which was done. This put an end to the
demonstration upon the office, but tbe orowd re
mained in the neighborhood all day.
THE ILLUMINATION POSTPONED.
Upon the reception or the intelligence, Maysr
Henry iSEued a proclamation postponing the Illumi
nation fixed for Monday night, the popular feeling

- MOURNING: BADGES. ' :’■■■
Early In the day mourning badges appeared on
the streets, being W9fij 98 Wftt. _ They were
made of mnslln-and had the head of the President
on them enolro® In blaok.
Hinasßssiso ahd dabby,
> The gad news of the assassination of President
Lincoln was oonveyed first to the residents at these
places by tbe- Darby passenger oars.. The gloom
soon beoame general, ahd the newspapers, what
few reached these sections, were eagerly sought for,
and the despatches from Washington were read
aloud to groups of people who collected In squads.
The citizens were appalled, and universal sorrow
prevailed among them-, with one Impulse the old
flag was draped In the emblems of mourning, and
the sad tokens of grief were displayed from many
homes. The people oonld scarcely realize or believe
that' President Lincoln was no more.
WBBT FHILADBLFHIA.
AS Boon as the news spread In this growMg por
tion of onr city, the residents In gnat numbers ap
peared in the streets and mingled their tears of sad
ness with each other. Here, too, as in many other
plaoes, they could not believe the report. Many of
the splendid mansions of the wealthy were enrolled
in mourning; black silk and orape were gracefully
entwined with the red, white, and blue, and festoon
ed from window to window and from the eave to
the pavement. In the more bumble abode of honest
poverty the same tokens of respect to the memory
of the Great Martyr wore displayed. The large
hotels and public meeting-houses exhibited craped
flags, national Bbtelds with blaok rosettes, draped
eagles, and other tastefully arranged emblems of
grief at the nation’s loss.
THB BURROUBDIHO COUNTRY.
We learn from parties who arrived In Phila
delphia yesterday afternoon and laßt evening that
for many miles the American flags, In the sur
rounding country, were displayed wlih crape. At
West Chester, Old Chester, Media, Lancaster,
Easton, Bethlehem, Monnt Ephraim, Mount Holly,
Woodbury, Atlantio City, and hundreds of other
places, the same sad tokens of the nation’s loss
and grief were visible to the passing eye of tra
vellers.
GERMANTOWN,
Here also, at the historical village of German
town, were many pretty devices, all exhibiting sad
ness because of the shocking calamity. Even the
mills became idle, and their industrial occupants
mingled with the people In general, some weeping,
while others, unable to realize the appalUng bvens,
stood in silent grief. All, however, soon beoame
shadowed In universal gloom. The stores ware re
sorted to, and In a short time ever; artiole of goods
denoting sadneßs and sorrow was purchased and ar
ranged In the front of dwellings. The American
flags, hoisted so recently upon prominent buildings
as the bright heralds 01 victory and coming peace
to the land, were draped, and business was gene
rally suspended. The stores were closed, and the
window shutters ol the dwellings generally were
.bowed.
MANAVUNK AND ROXBOROUGH,
These sections, contiguous to each other, were
also convulsed and shocked when -the appalling fact
announcing the death of the President .was made
known to the residents through the medium of the
press. Business in the mills was suspended gene
rally. At some of these Industrial plaoes the opera
tives twisted together'red, white, blue, and black
yarn, and with the ma'.erlalthus arranged festooned
the fronts from window to window. The public
houses displayed draped flags. The dwellings In
Boxborough were also arrayed In mourning, and the
loyal people of the upland section joined In the
expression of general sorrow. They all felt, Indeed,
that death, for the olive, had woven acypress Wreath
for the capital of the nation.
PRAHKPORD,
Tbe people of this ancient place were also wrap
ped in the mantle of sorrow when they reeoverod
from the stunning shock they received when the In
telligence first reached thpm. So great a national
"calamity was hard, Indeed, for many olthem to really
believe. But the truth, astounding as It waß, shone
ont like the bright sun amid tbe general gloom,
and Universal- sadness prevailed. The National
Bank, and other large, handsome, and commanding
buildings were artistically draped, the deep blaok
being relieved with the trl colors of Ihe nation, A
change of sentiment-overcame several prominent
persons residing here, and they, sorrow stricken like
their neighbors, went home with heavy hearts. The
most proronnd grief prevailed, and as the day passed
the dwellings and stores were robed in the emblems
of mourning.
DAMPEN, HEW JERSEY*
The city of Camden, also, was. draped In the sad
tokens of sorrow. The shock isoldent to the recep
tion of the news overcame many of the citizens. The
people generally assembled lathe streets to dlscusß
the appalling event, and It was some time before
they were willing to believe'the report. Xn this
particular they were very much like the residents
of Philadelphia. Flags were displayed all over the
town, and to the observant eye It was indeed a olty
of mourning. There are many beautiful dwellings
In this rural city, and these were oraped with sym
bols of a nation’s woe. In many instances the fes
toonlngs, grouped up with red, white, and blue, pre
sented an attractive, though solemn appearance.
A meeting of the citizens of Camden was called
at a late hoar of the afternoon Of Saturday, April
lb, at the hall oorner of Fourth and Federal streets,
to take action In reference to the murder of Presi
dent Lincoln.
The attendance was very large, and the. deepest
feeling displayed, Mr. Hofty was chosen chairman,
and Mr. Sailor secretary.
A committee waß appointed to draft resolutions
expressing the sense of the meeting' at the great
calamity which has befallen the nation. Theoom-,
mlttee consisted of Messrs. James M, Siovel, B.
Henry Lee, Ralph Lee, T. C. Knight, Mr. Sharp,
and Mr. Bamsden. -
During the .absence of the committee Mr. Brlnck
made an appropriate address.
On the return of the committee, the resolutions
were read by Mr. Soovel, who spoke at some length
to a deeply interested audience. He spoke of Mr.
Lincoln’s tearfnl parting with bis friends at Spring
field, on his way to Washington, when he requested
the prayers of his friends p>r his guidance In ad
ministering the duties of his office. He gave a brief
history of the administration for four years of Mr.
Lincoln, and spoke of his fidelity to all the pledges
he had given the friends of universal freedom;
how faithfully he had kept these,"and how we now
stood beside the dead form of the last and one of
, the bravest martyrs who ever died to make men
free. Mr. Soovel said Mr. .Lincoln was great in
greatness or sou!,: ln openness of mind—ln magna
nimity and power the peer of any statesman In
the world. Since the assassination of the savionr
of the Dutch Republic history gave us no
example of a man stricken down in the hoar
of a nation’s triumph, when that triumph was
the dawn of the first morning of the first day of uni
versal liberty. Mr. Soovel gave some touching
illustrations of Mr. Llnooln’s klndness of heart. In
relation to Andrew Johnson he said, •< He chal
lenges God, who quarrels with the Imperfections of
man.” Bis reoord against those who hatched trea
son in the Senate ohamSer war too noble a one to
fear that the Vice President would now falter In the
performance of his lofty trust. The people were
ready to trust him. He predicted that Mr. Johnson
would carry out Mr. Lincoln’s policy, and would en
force to the letter a strict law of retaliation against
rebels m arms. This was received with applause.
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Abraham Lincoln, the Chler Magistrate of
the Nation, has been stricken down by tbe hands of an
acsasshi, and lies dead in the Nation's Capital: and
whersaa, Almlshty fled has-permitted our President,
whose life was dear to us all, to be taken from us at so
critical an hour, we bow reverently to the Divine Will
is this iis mysterious expression; therefore,
Resolved. That language fails us in any attempt to
express our sense or the nation's lots in the dsath of
Abraham Lincoln, whose character, remarkable for
.its strer gth and tenderness, lie petcemlness and power,
gave him a place in every heart, and will make his
memory-revered in every land whose people desire
wia* * all men everywhere may be free ”
Resolved, That we recall with affection and gratitude
the memory of hi* fidelity to the people daring four
year* of a terrible and unprecedented oItII war; and
that we cannot forget the word® of Abraham Lincaln
the patriot and»talesman, who carried with him into
the nicest question of State policy the sentiments of hu
mamty, when he declared in Independence Hall, txt
. 1861, that he would rather be assassinated on th£ spot
than surrender the principles which lie at the founda
tion ol out Government, principles which give liberty
nouonly to the people of tfcie country bat hope for the
world for all future time.
Resolved, That this dastardly act of ass&asihationie
not regarded by ns as the mere impulse of rebellious
fanaUci&m but aa a representative act lout planned by
treason and its sympathizers in the’treat conspiracy
against human liberty and a republieanform of govern
ment; and
Resolved, Since we learn that some in onr midst re
joice over this cowardly murder, that we solemnly
affirm that the time has now arrived when we will n<r
longer tolerate treason In our city, nor will we permit
sympathy with traitors tn covert or open expressions,
but we descend that our ehril authorities shall expose,
Buppress. and punish any expression o' sympathy with
thisaecuned rebellion, and farther determine that the
presence of rebel sympathizers shall no longer be tole
rated in our midst.
Resolved, 1 hat as we mourn with every good citizen
of the Republic, and With the friends of free govern
ment thiooghout tbe world, for Abraham Lincoln,
elected President of the United States for a second teem,
in a time of civil war, aB another martyr to the cause of
justice andtruth. we declare our unalterable hate and
ourundying hostility to this rebellion, whiohdeU.be
rstsly murders the Fresldeqt of a free people because he
was true to principle, and faithful to the interest of the
human race.
Resolved, That an en tressed copy of these resoln
tions bs sent to Mrs. Lincoln, at Washington, with ex
pressions of onr profound sympathy In her sad and sad
den bereavement.
Mr. Soovel was appointed a committee to present
these resolutions to the family of the late President.
Jt-wet Resolved, That a copy of the resolutions and
proceedings of the meeting be sent to the Philadelphia
Press , Berth American, xnh Inquirer.
At ten o’clock the meeting adjourned,
NIGHT.
By 10 o’clock on Saturday night the streets, which
were crowded during tbe day, had become deserted.
The weather was unfavorable, and that, together
with the fact that all the places of amusement were
closed, and many of the public houses, was the chief
cause of It.
THE OHUBOHES—PASTORAL LETTER OF BISHOP
STEVENS,
Bishop Stevens, of the Protestant Episcopal
Ohnroh of Pennsylvania, has Issued the following
pastoral letter to the clergy of hls dlocese:
To the Clergy of the Diocese of Pennsylvania:
Kev. and Dear Brethren : Our joy is turned
into mourning, and our gladness Into heaviness of
heart. The shadow of death has fallen upon our
Easter rejoicings, and we stand almost dumb with
sorrow and consternation before tbe fearful tragedy
which has taken Irdm ns the Oblef Magistrate of
this land. It is, brethren, a great national afflic
tion, and every right-feeling heart will sob with sor
row at this most eruel and sinful act, which has
taken from us our head and prostrated the nation
In grief. " r
It becomes ns to recognize God’s hand In God’s
judgment, and each one should humble himself
before God, and cry aloud for sparing mercy and
deep contrition, that he would turn from ns ail
those evils which have ' called down our punish
ment; and in the midst cf deserved wrath to re
member mercy, and take this temporarily orphaned
nation Into His fioly care and keeping. .
In virtue of the power conferred upon me by
Section xlv., Can, 13, Title 1, ol the Digest, I hereby
set forth to be used In the churches and congrega-.
tlons of this Diocese, the following prayers:
•William Baoon Stevens,
• Assistant Bishop In oharge of Dlooese.
O Most Mighty God, terrible In Thy judgments
and mysterious In Thy doings towards the onlldren
of men, we bow-befbre Thee In deep humiliation and
sorrow of heart on account of that afflictive dispen
sation whereby Thou hast removed from this Nation
Its Chief Magistrate by sudden death.
In Thy wisdom, O God, Thou hast seen fit to vi
sit the nation with thlß great trouble, and to bring
this sore distress upon it. Bemember ns, O Lord,
In mercy, and while we bend Before Thee In mourn
ing, strengthen us by Thy grace that we faint not
In this day of adversity. Sanctify Thy fatherly
correction to us as individuals and as a nation; en
due onr souls with patience under oirr afflictions,
and with resignation to Thy blessed will; leave us
not, O Lord, comfortless and In darkness, but lift
up the light of Thy countenance upon us and give
us peace.
Grant we may humbly lay to heart the fearful
breach whloh has been made in the Government of
the land, and the awfnl sin by which it was done,
and that we may all turn.to Thee who sliteth on
the throne judging right, and plead with Thee to
take our nation and ail Its interests into Thine own
hand, that we may Indeed, by our deep repentance
and lively faitb, prove that we are Thy pbople and
that Thou art our God. *
Spare Thy people, good Lord, and give not Thy
heritage to confusion, and in Thy deserved wrath
think upon mproy.and so come and save us, after
the multitude of Thy compassions, through tne me
rits and mediation of Thy blessed Bon, Jesus Christ,
onr Lord. Amen.
O Merolfnl God and Heavenly Father, who hast
taught us in Thy Holy word tbat Thou dost not wil
lingly a Allot or grieve the ohlldren of men, look
with pity, we beseech Thee, upon the sorrows of
Thy servants, the family oi our late lamented Chief
Magistrate, for whom ourprayers are desired. Be
hold them, O God, with the eje of Thy meroy, ooia
fori them with a sense of Thy goodness, preserve
them under-thlß bereaving flood, give them patience
under their afflictions and resignation to Tay noly
will, that so their wounded hearts may be bound up
by Thy strengthening promises, and their bruised
spirits be healed by the oil and wine of Thy con
soling grace. Bo to them Indeed the God of all
comfort, and may they by Thy graerbe led toconse
orate themselves to Thee ana Thy service, aad thus
be prepared to dwell with Thee in that heavenly
kingdom where sin and death never enter. These
things atd whatsoever else Thou shall see to bs ne
cessary hud convenient for them, we humbly ask In
the name and Intercession of Jesus Christ, who,
with .the Father and tbe Holy Ghost, liveth and
reihneth, our Lord,.world wiihoutisnd.Amen.

THB.DISPLAYS OF MOUKNISO.
In addition to the displays'of mourning already
mentioned there were numbers of othefS worthy of
note. Indeed, so many and various were they that
this paper would not contain descriptions of all
those worthy of mention.
A house on Second street had suspended from the
talons of an immense spread eagle three figures—
the centre-was a skeleton, representing Death. On
one end was a figure of Justice, and on the other
the Goddess of Liberty, weeping. Over the God
dess or Liberty were the words, ‘'Oar Chief 18
Dead.” Over the figure Death- were the words,
“In the midst of lire we are In death.” Over the
head of Justice were the words, “ Wo smite those
who smite us.”

Major Anderson evacuated Fort Sumpter, the First
. Baptist Church of this city met at thelr-meeting

by the Rev. George Dana Bo&rdman, the pastor of
the churoh, It was a noble effort, and was delivered
with most .powerful effect, eliciting time and again
frequent applause. Bis reference to President Lin
coln was most touching and eloquent, and the
tribute he paid to his eminent worth and nobleness
of heart will not soon be forgotten. As he dosed
with “Long live Abraham Lincoln!” the whole
audience seemed carried away with enthusiasm.
The honorary members of the “ Old Hibernia”
have formed themselves Into an association, to he
styled “ The Honorary Association of the Hibernia
Fire Engine Company, No. 1.” This Is a new
move in tills city, and Is patterned after the “ Old
