WHAT WILL EE LOSE WITH THEM—AH OPINION BY ATTOBKBY GKNBRAT, BPBBD. Some important questions which affect the statu, of the thousands of paroled rebels who once termed General Lee’s army, have just been the subject of an opinion from Attorney General Speed, The opinion was given at the instance of Secretary Stanton, who presented the following propositions: First. Whether rebel officers who onoe resided in the oity of Washington, and went to Virginia, or elsewhere In the South, and took service, oan return to the oity under the stipulations of the capitulation and reside here as their homes ! Second. Whether persons who resided tn Washing ton about the time the rebellion broke’out, left the city and went to, Richmond, where they have ad hered to the rebel cause, entered into- the civil ser vice, or otherwise -given it their support, comfort, and aid, can return to Washington, since the capitu lation of General Lee’s army and the-capture of Richmond, and reside here under the terms of the capitulation 1 i third. You state that, since the capitulation of- General Lee’s army, rebel officers have appeared in public in the loyal States, wearing the rebel uni form; and you ask whether such conduct is-not a fresh aot of hostility, on their part, to the ISiticed States, subjecting them to be dealt wlth'as avowed enemies of the Government! The Attorney General considers the terms of ca pitulation, the powers of General Grant, and’ the authority and dignity of the President, and swers : - > "Regarding General Grant, then, as speaking simply as'a soldier, and with the powers of a-sol dier;’regarding this war as a territorial war, and all persons within that territory as residents there, of, and, as such, enemies of the Government; and looking to the language of the stipulation,’ lam of opinion that the rebel officers who surrendered to General Grant have no homes within the loyal States, and have no right to oome to places whtoh were their homes prior to their going into the rebellion. 11. As to your second question, the stipulation of surrender made betwixt Generals Grant and Lee does not embrace any persons other than the officers mid soldiers of General Lee’s army. Persons in the civil service or the rebellion, or who had otherwise given it support, oomiort, and hid, and were resi dents of the rebel territory, certainly have no right to return to Washington under that stipulation. ~ 111. As tothe third question—my answer to the first Is a complete answer to this. Rebel officers certainly have no right to be wearing their uniforms in any ol the loyal States. It seems to ine that such officers, having done wrong in Doming into the loyal States, are but adding Insult to injury in wearing their uniforms. They have as much right to bdir the traitor’s flag through the streets of a loyal oity as to wear a traitor’s gaTb. The stipulation of sir render permits no suoh thing, and the wearing of snob uniform is an act of hostility against the Go vernment. ... The Pupil and bis Teacher. It appeals that a few months before the probable ; dateol the recently published letter of J. Wilkes' Bootb.a large, number of inflammatory speeches were delivered In Chicago, on the occasion of what purported to be a Democratic National Convention, The extracts which we give below from a portloh'of thOße speeches, as they were reported In the Ohlomgo- Times, are strikingly similar In their spirit to those from the letter of Booth. “This country wasl “What Is this war fori: formed for the white, not, The nigger.

Is It. not (both for themselves and high time that thislnfer ns) that Go<l ever bestow- nal war- was stopped 1— ed upon a favored na- Sanderson, of Pa. tion,”— J, Wilkes Booth. - “The South are not, “The South eouid not nor have they been, fight- honorably lay down her lug for the continuance of arms, for she was ,fight slavery. The first bat- Ing for her honor. Two tie of Bull Bun did away millions of men had been with that idea.

I the rebellious States. They eouid not be oon quered, and he praysd Hod theymlghtnever be.” —Bov, C. Ckauncey Barr. k * ' '' w-^S‘ “They talkdd about a rebellion down South, but a greater rebellion had been in progress In the Sooth.”—fie», C, Cham cey Burr. . “I thought then, as now, that the Abolition ists were the only trai tors In the land, and that the enOreparty deserved the same late as poor old Brown.”—/. Wilkes Booth, “ I love peace mote than life. Have loved tlie Union beyond ex pression. For lent years nave X waited, hoped, and prayed for the dark clones to break, and for a restoration of onr former snnsblne. To wait longer wonld be a crime. All hope for peace is dead. My prayers bave proved as idle as my hopes. God’s will be done. Xgo to see and share the bit* ter end.”— J. Wilkes Booth . » People of the Worth, to hate tyranny, to love liberty and justice, to strike at wrong and op pression, was the teach ing of our fathers. The. study of our early history will not let me lorget It, and may It never.”—J. Wilkes Booth, “ Most, or many In the Worth do, and openly, curse the Union If the South is to return and re tain a single right gua ranteed to them by every tie which we once revered as sacred.”—J. Wilkes Booth. “I have ever held the South were right. The very nomination of Abra ham Ulncoln, four years ago, spoke plainly war war upon Southern rights andinstitutlons. His elec tlon proved it. ‘Await an overt' act!’ Yes, till you are bound and plundered. What folly! The Sonth were wise. Who thinks of argument or patience when the An ger of his enemy presses on the trigger!”-/. Wilkes Booth, « When I aided in the capture and execution 01 John Brown (who was a murderer on onr West ern border, and who was fairly tried and convicted, before an Impartial judge and jury, of treason, and who,' by the way, has since been made a god), I was prond of my little share In the transaction, for I deemed It my duty, and that I was helping onr common country to perform a simple act of justice. Bnt what was a crime in poor John Brown Is now considered (by themselves) as the great est and only virtue of the whole Republican party,” —J. Wilkes Booth, “In a foreign war, I, too, could say, ‘Country, r.gnt or wrong.’ But in a struggle such hi otlri (where the brother tries to pierce the brother’s heart), for God’s sake ohocsethe right. When a country like this spurns justice rrom her side, she forfeits the alleglaheeof every honeet freeman,and should leave him, un trammelled by any fealty soever, to act as his con science may approve.”— /, Wilkes Booth, We ask candid men to compare carefully the sen timents which we haveculled from the recently pub lished letter of the assassin Booth, with the quota- ■ Elens from the report of the Demooratio speeches made in Chicago at the time of the Ohloago Con vention, wbloh we have placed opposite them. The spirit of hatred for Abraham Lincoln and the Re publican party la the same throughout. But the expressions ot the murdered are far milder than, those which we have quoted from the above named Demooratio speakers. In tbe letter of Booth there win be found no more vindictive utterances than tbose which we have qnoted, while many of tbe orators who spoke In Chicago during the Na tional Demooratio Convention expressed more trea sonable language than even the foregoing ex tracts. In presenting their language side by side with that, of Booth, we have aimed not to se lect that which was most violent and infiam mstory, bnt that whieh most elearly resembled the f entimenta of Abraham Lincoln’s murderer. Booth Indeed said: 11 My love (as things stand to-day) is for the Sonth alone. Nor do I deem It a dishonor in attempting to make a prisoner of this man, to whom she owes so much misery,” But In what re spect was that language more treasonable than much of that already quoted from the Chicago ora ;orB ) It is lnAsitely less calculated to Incite some Otpperhead fanatic to imitate his crime upon the successor of his victim, than the following lan guage of the Rev. O. Chauneey Burr was to aanse ihe assassination of President Lincoln: “ Audit was a wonder that they had a Cabinet and men who car ried ont the Infamous orders of the gorilla tyrant that usurped the Presidential chair. Iu New Jersey :hey had shifted the responsibility ol these despotic acts to the shoulders of the Abolitionists, and more 'ban one provost marshal had a hole made through bis head ” What was this bnt a suggestion, as plain as the Infamous villain who uttered it dared to make’, that what had so desirable an effect in Near Jersey upon proyost marshals might have the same effect In Washington npon “the gorilla tyrant” and bis Cabinet 1 We do not asßert that the Demooratio party, or any: considerable number of the ’men who • The special correspondent of the New York World from Washington scalds that advises received In that city, direct, front Raleigh, mention that the conference between Sherman and -J olmstoa took place at Chanel Bill, some fifteen miles west of Raleigh. Johnston’s army, eompose'd of almost 20,000 men, including Bampton and wheeler’s ca valry, lay thirty miles from the cltyon the road running ro.Charlotte. On the second- Interview Breckinridge, the rebel Secretary" of W«?r was present and participated In the drawlng-up'ofThe already-published terms of capitulation. During: the conversation, he freely admitted the failure of the rebellion, and declared that peace was almost as hand; and. In alluding to ’ the cdnstltuilonal- amendment, said tt was strictly the legal way of adopting H, and he predicted its ratification by more than two-thirds of the states. ~Jt wßH<understood- that during this conference, which-laeied two days, Jeff Davis Was at Hillsboro, and in telegraphic communication with Breckin ridge, at Johnston’s headquarters. Thp men of the rebel army, with the exception of how and then some officers, Were anxious for peaee, and desired to go home. - Throughout North Carolina there has been a more earnest exhibition of loyalty. When oar forces en tered Raleigh the two papers ’there, the Standard, edited bV Holden, and the Progress, were found to have been such etrong Babin sheets for sometime past that their publication was in no'wise interfered with. No public or private property was molested by our troops, and the citizens, including large numbers of ladles, appeared as usual on the streets. Business was not even suspended. The news of the assassination reached Raleigh last W ednesday. That night a very large meeting of eitizens Was held, denouncing .the deed and ex pressing sympathy for the ’ nation and the people. The size of the meeting surprised the army, who stood aloof from it. “ The Democracy were for peaoe, hut the oon ttactorsand army officers and satraps of the Ad ministration wanted ft not. [Great applause.] Ever since the usurper, traitor, and tyrant had occupied "the Presidential chair, the Republican party had shouted .war to the knife, and the knife to the but.

When this Intelligence left Raleigh, It was the opinion in the army that the tßrms were uncondi tional submission among generals of high rank. No Other were known or even hinted at. A Dakgbbotjs Similabity.— The Bridgeport (Ct.) Standard says that “in 1881, just as the rebel lion broke out, there happened to be a certain pro fessor In one of our colleges coming North from Washington, who bore such a strong resemblance to Abraham Lincoln that ninety-nine persohsln a hun dred would have sworn that he was the President. A description of the one was aeourate for both.’ He arrived in Baltimore at the time when the seeesslon furore was at Its height, and was placed In extreme jeopardy from the iaet that a report' "was circulated by some one who saw him, stating that the President was making his way through Maryland for the North. If he had taken any publio conveyance the mob would have discovered him and taken his' life. We heal'd him narrate the unpleasant and danger ous position In which his unenviable resemblance to the nation’s Chief Magistrate placed him. He was obliged to leave Baltimore on foot and travel many miles on unfrequented roads, When-lt became ne cessary to seek a house for food and shelter he feared and a mob. He finally went to a house, conversed with the Inmates in the French language, until he hod the good fortune to discover that they were Union people, and then he Informed them who he was, and the oause.of his flight on loot from Baltimore. This family kept him concealed a lew days, mod then Conveyed him cautiously to Pennsylvania and safety. We have narrated, this incident in order to show the liability of arresting the wrong man by the mere description given In the papers. To one such counterpart of such a peeultar looklsg man as Abraham Lincoln,' there would be a hundred counterparts of John W. Booth and his asscoiate assassins, and it will not'be In the least surprising If a thousand Innocent men should be ar rested, each of whom will resemble, In a greater or less degree, one or another of these anxiously-sought criminals.’’ • lixtrsnsAMOH of thb OoniSßim.—On the night of Saturday, April Ist, all Borne, or at lease, the foreign element In it, went down to see the Coli seum lllnmfnated wlth.Bengal lights. It Is oneol those unidue and rare speotacies which always at tract a multitude, though nothing oan equal the grand and solemn effect produced by moonlight. Admission Uchets were issued at five phuls a head, and perhaps about S_, 000 persons were lu the Inte rior, where two hands were placed, one atelther ex tremity. A rocket announced the eommeneement of the illuminations, and m the same manner were < indicated all the successive changes. A olrcte of pale green light rah round the lower part of-the stupendous ruin, while a bright red light encircled the npper part. On the discharge of a rochet these were changed, and then the whole was lighted with a pale green, producing the most pleasing "effect, as being the nearest approach to the natural. The changes were made again, but in reverse, and so again a third time, the marvellous spectacle con tinuing for about an hour. Of course, every arch and buttress was brought out in bold relief, every blade of grass that floated on the walls might be oounted. Outside the Oollsenm there was a vast multitude, who declared that the spectacle was more marvellous than Inside.' The site dn which stand the rained palaces.of the Caesars was also crowded -with guests invited by the director. Monsignor Be Rosa, whoso house was lighted up in mimic imita tion of its neighbor. j* Fu abbot, Execution on a Shell.— A shell struck the 14th Indiana Battery, a few days ago, before Mobile, and produced most fatal effects. It struck the caisson, thus adding to Us own havoc that of many other shells which were exploded by it. One poor fellow was burned and blackened Into a ghastly and shapelessgnass. Others were scatter ed about, dreadfully mangled, writhing in fierce agonies, some with arms ana others with legs blown off ; and one, more unfortunate than all, with an arm and both logs torn away. Another remained standing after the shock, but the fiery flame of the powder , had seared hlB eyes as though a bolt from Heaven had passed over them. TJhlok darkness wrapped him about forever, and putting out his quivering hands before him, as If to assure himself, he piteously asked of his domrades, as his mind wandered dimly over former recollections, “ Is It ad ready night 1” Such a sight alckens and appals the stoutest heart; God grant that the hour may not he far off when our country shall see them no more. The Fbehch Academy.—The establishment of an Academy In the republic of letters maybe, as some suppose, an Utopian scheme, and the united efforts ol Academicians may have produced but little ; but It Is certain that the- French Academy has made an Imposing appearance In Europe. It was specially charged with the composition of the dictionary, and the extension and purifloatlotfol the language. Yet, when they published tholr dictiona ry, that of Furetlere appeared as a formidable rival; and. Dr. Johnßon did single handed for Eag land as much as the forty “Immortals” did for France. Furetlere (bom in 1820, and died at the age of sixty- eight) began life as a lawyer, and end ed as a monk He was elected to the Academy, but was expelled twonty. three years after Ms admission lor having profited by the labors of his colleagues in composing the dictionary which bears his name. -He revenged himself by writing outting satires, in verse and prose, on his late colleagues, and often had the laughers on his side. Voltaire confesses that the great characters of the literary republic were formed without the aid of aeapemles, “For what,” he asks, “ are they necessary/ To preserve and nourish tire fire which gnat geniuses have kin dled.” The - Academy published the first edition of its dictionary In 1894, and the sixth, and, I believe, the last, In 1835, FeODNIABY RBSTTLTB OP THE Rebellion.— The foreign holders of Confederate bonds will feel “darkly, deeply, beautifully blue” on the next advloes from this country. An Intercepted letter from the rebel Adjutant General at Richmond com plains that the writer has notMng but Confederate money, and la starving for food, and an old darkey In the rebel capital refused a hatful of this money for a drink of Jamaica rum, bnt on the presentation •of a five dollar greenback managed to procure enough liquor to satiety the thirsty throats of his patrons.

The two ends of the canal, that is to say, the works required lor the entry from the two seas, remain yet to be built, and it Is exactly these which the English engineers de clared to be the most important and impracticable part of the enterprise. There never was any doubt in any one’B mind that the dltoh through the level sands of Egypt could be dug from one end to the other, tf the money was provided to pay the work men, her even that water enough could brftramd to supply it; this, in fact, has been accomplished, and It Is only to see bis central ditch, with three or four feet of water In it, tbatjff, Si xiesscp IbYltod delegates trom airparts of the world.

We, however, oan give some Information on the subject. The British West India mall steamer, tbe Feoruary paeket, landed at Southampton with about $1,970,000 early In March.

There are a . few other trifitng s mounts within reach, of whioh, perhaps, the largest Is $60,000 pin money-voted to the Princess, The Ghandnathek on Abbaham Lincoln.— Mr. Lincoln’s grandfather, also named Abraham Lincoln, was murdered by an Indian in 1774, while at work on his farm, near the Kentucky river. He left three sons, the eldest of whom, Thomas, was the father of the President. Thomas married In 3806 Nancy Hanks, a native of Virginia, and set tled In Harden-opunty, where the President was born, February 12,1809. In 1816 the family removed to Indiana. The great-grandfather of the President emigrated from Berks” county, Pennsylvania, to Rockingham county, in the Shenandoah Valley, Ya., about 1760.- The Anteoedbhtb on Booth’s Mistebss-— Ella Turner, the reputed mistress of J.

Her right name is Starr, and she is a native of Baltimore.

It appears that he had a dlfficnlty some umt* previously with a son of Mrs. F. 03 the night nafned he armed himself and went alone to the house, demanding'admittance, which was refused. Upon th fs, he fired two shots through the door, doing no damn'ge. He then broke out the sash of a window and attempted to shoot young Farthing, Who was in bed. The mother, in endea voring to turn the weapon- aside, received the shot in her breast, inflicting a-severe,, if not mortal wound.

STATE ITEMS. A deplorable accident occurred at Sewlskly, near Pittsburg, a few days ago. A man, named Michael Powell, was repairing a well at a depth of forty feet, when the wellßuddenly caved In upon and . completely buried him. . The wildest excitement prevailed, and numbers, were soon straining every nerve to extricate the unfortunate laborer. Tbe at tempt was dangerous, but the work was energetical ly prosecuted for sixteen hours,the parties above keeping up a conversation with the man below, whose life had been saved by a large stone falling against tbe pump and protecting bis bead. When they finally raised the stone covering his head, he had hardly strength left to thank God for his de liverance. But at this moment, when his safety seemed beyond doubt, the sand and earth caved in again, and though not sufficiently to endanger those who stood In the,cavity, yet enough to smother the victim beneath.

The Pbbseht Ratb on Pbtbolbbm.—The pre sent prices of.petroleum are regarded as low in con trast with the prices of last year, whereas they ore relatively higher than at the corresponding period last year. In April, 1884, prices of crude Iff this market ranged from 32 to 41 cents per gallon, with gold at an average premium of 73)4 for the month; and during the present month, with the average premium of gold at about 47, have ranged from 31 to 37 cents, showing absolutely an advance of 3@5 cents per gallon on last year’s prices. A like result is shown sit the wells on OR Creek. In the early months of 1864 prices at the wells were as low as its 26 per barrel,but during tbe present year, not withstanding' many depressing Influences, have at no time been below $4.60 per barrel. It is not proba ble, without a great and unexpected scarcity, that prices will attain the present year anything like the high rates to which they were forced laßt summer by the advance In gold; bnt there is no reason to anticipate tbat they will at any time fall below a point affording ample compensation for all the cost of production..
