The Doom of South Carolina.
The London Times asserts that our Go
vernment has spent more money in its
efforts to capture Charleston than the fee
Simple title to all the land in South Caro
lina is worth. This is, perhaps, only a re
echo of Southern bravado, but if it is true
it affords an additional justification of any
stern measures we may adopt in, the dis-
posal of such dearly-purchased territory.
* The “Palmetto” State has been the nest
of treason for many years, and had her
brood of pestilential theories never been
hatched, the Great Rebellion could not have
been organized. In view of her persistent
infamy, commenced long ago, and con
tinued unceasingly nnder every imaginable
phase, no fate can be too severe for her.
She has been the only implacable foe of the
Republic. All other enemies have at times
shown symptoms'of moderated resentment
or of partial friendship. She alone has
made the destruction of the .Union the un
alterable object of her political existence.
It was not chance that selected Sumpter as
the first object of attack; but her soil was
deliberately chosen for the commission of
the first overt act, because it was far more
deeply saturated with treason than any
Other.
Her insignificance for a time shielded her
from retributive justice, but iu view of the
wide train of evils she has brought upon
the land, loyal men will hot regret that
after a long carnival of impunity, she has
obtained a portion of her deserved punish
ment. Her. boasted cities, Charleston and
Columbia, are mouldering heaps of ruins.
And as to her rural districts, Sherman’s
army, never noted for a peculiarly tender
regard for rebel property, cast to the wind
all restraints on her wicked soil. The
supplementary labors of devastation, not
concluded during the march of the main
body of our forces through the State, ap
pear to have been entrusted to Potter’s
infantry and cavalry, and one of the fea
tures of General Sherman’s interview with
Johnston, ihat will not be condemned, is
hie announcement to the rebel General
that these spoiliations would continue.
“ Let Potter burn a little longer,” said
he, “it will not hurt,that people to bear a
still heavier burden.” They have met a
prophetic fate, for “the day cometh that
shall bum as an oven; and all the proud,
yea, and all that do wickedly shall be
stubble; and the day that cometh shall bum
them up,” and “ leave them neither root
nor branch.”
The Good Sews Received lu England.
News of the capture of Richmond reached
England on the night of Friday, April 14—
the very night on which President Lincoln
was foully slain. It is to be-noticed that most
of the daily London newspapers, which
can give a column or two of leading com
ment upon a vote taken in the House of
Commons at two or three ’o’clock on the
morning of publication, found themselves
unable to do *more than give the barest
announcement of the virtual overthrow of
the pro-slavery rebellion. The Times, al
ways ready to proclaim Secession suc
cesses, even when the news carried with
it internal evidence of having been exag
gerated by design or. wholly “manufac
tured to order,” had not heart
to say one word. It wanted time
for deliberation, and shirked all
notice of the fact on Saturday, but
would probably say something on the
following Monday, After all its prophe
cies— all its stroxg assurances that the
bellion must succeed, that the false men*
were certain to beat the true, the fair of
Richmond must have been as gall and
wormwood to.its conductors. In a short
time, no doubt, this political Fadladeen
will change Bides, and affirm that, all along,
it was confident of the final victory of
truth, justice, and humanity. The Daily
News, one of the few London journals
Which has been firm and faithful in its
friendship for out Union, congratulates us
upon our successes, and declares, with
equal emphasis and truth, that Jefferson
Davis and his Government are now “ va
grant and fugitive,” and sharply reminds
the sympathizers in Europe that, instead of
fulfilling his threat of making the leading
Northern cities' “ food for the torch,” Ms
last act of power was to order Richmond
to be set on fire.
The Newest European Complication.'
■“Above all things do not be too zealous,”
was the excellent advice of crafty old Tal
lexrahd to a young Frenchman who had
just been appointed to an important diplo-.
malic office. It would appear as if Lord
Palmerston, who takes things very easily,
in the belief that time will bring about
proper results, had acted upon some such
theory as Tallbxband’s during his sixty
years of public life, fifty of which have
been passed in office. He never gets ex
cited, nor angry, and is coolest after he has
made a blunder. Indeed, forthemost part,
British publicists are by no means zealous
—in office. They raise a great smoke while
place-hunting, which even their opponents
sometimes mistake for a conflagration, but
once that they are officials they generally
permit matters to run their own course.
Ohaeles Grant (now Lord Glerelg),
was Chief Secretary of Ireland in “ the
good old Tory times,” and had a constitu
tional distaste for labor of any kind.' At
the close of. [his three years occupancy of
office, his private apartments in Dublin.
Castle were cleared out, and three large
■ barrels, filled with unopened letters, were
found in his own particular sanctum. Be
ing twitted with this, soon after his return
to England, (where such an excellent
worker was placed at the head of the Board
•of Trade !) he owned the soft impeachment,
declaring that in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred, letters to public functionaries re
quired no reply, and might therefore be
said to answer themselves, and that he
saved time, trouble, and stationery by con
signing them to the unopened heaps in the
beer-barrels. Mr. Lamb (afterwards Lord
Melbourne) was successor in Ireland to
this free-and-easy gentleman, and followed
Ms example, as well as he could, but the
under-secretary received private Instruc
tions from headquarters to look over the
Secretary’s correspondence, as it might
contain something worthy of notice. When
Lord Melbourne was Prime Minister, he
•confessed that the great drawback to his
happiness was the necessity of attending
-to public business during the six months in
each year of the Parliamentary session,
and, when that was ended, he took the
other six months as an extended holiday,
chuckling, like a school-hoy, at the begin
ning Of his summer vacation, over the pros
pect of having nothing to do for a long
time. Consequently, his Lordship wholly
repud-ated anything so troublesome as
zeal.
The King of Prussia, however, who
would have made a tolerable sergeant
major, has the misfortune to possess, as his
prime minister, a gentleman who has more
seal than discretion. He manages home
as well as foreign matters, and contrives
to keep them in perpetual hot-water.
■Count Otho de Bismabck-Schobnhatjsbn
"has not been in office quite three years, but
•hfis done as much mischief as most other
ministers could have effected in double that
time. He has placed the Prussian Parlia
ment in such a state of antagonism to the
Eng that, but for the accident of the late
■war with Denmark, which exclusively en
grossed public attention while it lasted,'it
is probable his Majesty would have been
an exile, in England, before this-and not
only exiled, but deposed. The war ended;
he has adroitly renewed the struggle be
tween- the King =and the legislature, and
aa Sir Lnciuß would say, «a
very pretty quarrel as it stands." Here is
an excess of zeal. The difficulty might be
adjusted, even now, by a few small con
cessions on the part of the monarch, but
the too-zealous minister steps in and forbids
his yielding—even to the extent of a hair’s
breadth. Zeal like tMs may upset the
throne, but Bismabck will have the satis
faction of steadily sticking to Ms opinion.
The Prussian people want domestic re
forms and a reduction of taxation, but the
monarch, (or rather M. de Bismabck,)
declines assenting ’to these, demands a
large military force, and tells the Legisla
ture that it has no right to fix the number
of this army,.the cost of maintaining it,
and the time of its period of service. If
the money is not voted, the King will try
and take it by force, - as Charles Stuart
did in England—and who can say what
will be the result ?
"While not bearding the Legislature and
successfully striving to augment the King’s
obstinacy, M. de Bismabck is searching
among old generalogical documents for
something toprove that the house of Bran
denburg is by descent to rule in
the duchies of ScMeswigand Holstein—the
self-same duchies which he forcibly wrested
from the King of Denmark, ostensibly
claiming them as the birthright of the
Duke of Augustenburg. He says that some
three hundred and-fifty years ago Maxi
milian 1., Emperor of Germany, conferred
these duchies in reversion on an ancestor of.
the King of Prussia. The claim, it must
be confessed, haß been a long time in abey
ance, and it is suspicious that Prussia never
•preferred it Until, by force and fraud, she
had gained possession of the country.
Austria is jealous because Prussia seems
likely to" annex the stolen duchies. France
may object—but can be conciliated by
having the Rhine conceded as a boundary.
Russia, which also has claims, is quietly
watcMng the game. Prussia, which has
become powerful by robbing Poland, Saxo
ny, Austria, and even France, would be
neatly rounded off by annexing the Danish
DucMes, and, tMs done, Hanover may ex
pect to be swallowed up as soon after as is
found convenient. The aim is to make the
whole of northern Germany one ’Prussia.
England andßussia canpreventit,onthe old
“ balance of Europe ” plea, but will they ?
It seems to us as if, provided Prussia does
not previously send her obstinate ruler
adrift, he will succeed, with the assistance
of Ms very zealous Bismabck, in bringing
about an European war.
Pennsylvania and the President.
Even under the old regime, no Southern
statesman was more universally respected
in Pennsylvania than Andbew Johnson ;
but since the majestic display of his noble
characteristics at the outset, and during
the progress of the rebellion, he has been
an especial favorite of our whole Common
wealth, After Ms elevation to the Presi
dential chair the disposition to bestow
upon him unbounded confidence and a
generous support became almost universal
among our citizens, without distinction
of party. We are gratified to notice, by
the following article from the Washington
Chronicle, that this feeling has found an
authentic and official expression. Penn
sylvania, proud of the complimentary
terms in. wMch the President received it,
will more than verify the assurances of her
patriotic Governor:

sti-vahia,— Yesterday morning President; Johnson
received a number of eitizens of Pennsylvania, who
presented to him the following earnest and patriotic
letter .from Governor Curtin of that State. We
noticed among those present Colonel F. Jordan,
military agent of Pennsylvania, and hls asslstant,
Colonel Gilliland; Samuel Wagner. Esq., of York
county, and others. Colonel J, W. Forney read the
letter of Governor Curtin to the President:
Executive Ch ambus,
/ HABBISBUBG, Fa., April 25,1865.
Sib : I have jnst returned from reverently attend
ing the remains of our martyred President on their
passage through this commonwealth, and I avail
myself of the first moment to assure you chat, as
Pennsylvania has throughout steadily and effective-
S~ sustained the Government in its efforts to crush
e existing rebellion, so she and her authorities
may be relied upon to stand heartily .by your Admi
nistration, and that with an earnestness and vigor
enhanced by the Just horror which all her people
entertain of the base and cowardly assassination to
which your predecessor has fallen a victim.
I know that it Is unnecessary to give you this as
surance; hut, looking to the vast responsibilities
that have been suddenly cast upon you, It has
seemed to me that an express word or hearty en
couragement from your friends cannot he otherwise
• than agreeable to .you. I should have visited Wash
ington to say this much to you in parson, but lam
unwilling, just at this moment, to lnohr the danger
of interfering with the just discharge cl your public
duties by occupying your time.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
A. G. OUBTEH.
To the Pbbbidbmt.
In reply, President Johnson expressed Us fervent
thsnhs to Governor Curtin for the hearty maimer
In whioh he had proffered his valuable support of
the General Administration. Some of his most In
teresting recollections were of the old Keystone
State. In the war for the maintenance of the Go
vernment she had surpassed herself In her contrlbu
tlons to our armies and la the valor and saorlfioes
of her sons, many of whom he classed among his
best friends, having met them in large numbers
during his trials In Tennessee. President Johnson
trusted that his administration of the Government
would not be unworthy of the confidence of the loyal
people of. Pennsylvania. *
TETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Wabhington, April 29, 1865.
It would be a dark look-out from the
pause that succeeds the surrender of John
ston’s army, if we could not count thou
sands of loyal men in the heretofore de
fiant rebel States. - Such-a prospect would
be only. one of ever-renewed and re
newing broil and-battle. Happily, how
ever, there are great bodies ef people who
have always been steadfast-in their Union
faith, andwho have proved their fidelity by
the heroism with which they have suffered
and scorned persecution, and more than
persecution, for the sake of the country. To
sustain these men, and to put the control of
the great work of the organization of the
seceded and. returning States into their
hands, is .among the first of the many im
portant duties of the Executive. They
have earned this consideration at the hands*
of the Administration, and l am rejoiced to
believe that the President will not disap
point them. These men know the South
ern masses better than we Northerners, and
to them may be entrusted the solution of
many of the questions which exercise the
minds of our statesmen. "They know
that the rebellion was the work of
leaders, and not of the people of the South;
and, while they, insist upon the summary
punishment of the first, they are ready for
the kindest treatment of the second. Un
der the auspices of these brave and well
tried leaders, State governments, upon the
model of that of Tennessee, will be formed
in all the other States, and thus the nudem
will be sound and wholesome. This nucleus
will be the heart of the new system, and it
will not be long, with the aid of the Na
tional Government and the contributions of
emigration, before the experiment is fully
completed. States, like South Carolina and
Florida, where the whites were always
in a.woful minority, will be re created by
the settlers and soldiers, on the same prin
ciples and with the same auxiliaries. The
Pierpont government of Virginia is already
recognized, and will very shortly take pos
session of the State Capital at Bichmond.
The counties not represented in the Legis
lature that sat at Alexandria, under the
first call of Governor Pierpont, will now
be invited to elect delegates, and the pro
cess of repealing the had work of the re
bel Legislature will be inaugurated. North
Carolina is ripe ‘for the new order
of things. Louisiana web ready last
year, and Arkansas has a very
good government under Murphy, and a
staunch body of Democrats who prove
their loyalty by fighting for the old flag
side by side with the national troops, white
and black. Then are left Georgia, Missis
sippi, Alabama, and Texas. All of these
can be held by the Union forces until there
is a movement in the right direction —all
but Texas, wMch, from present appear
ances, will be made the rendezvous of the
fugitive leaders and each of their followers
as may choose a life of brigandage. It
is manifest that Davis and Breckin
ridge aie striking for the Mississippi,
where they expect to cross into Texas.
There let them stay until they are girdled
by land and sea, and forced to yield or
perish. General Grant reached Washing
ton this afternoon from Kaleigh. We may
may well say with Othello—
“ Our wars,are dons; the Turks are drowned.’.
As I learn, he thinks the head of the ser
pent is crushed. But much remains be-
yond—much that requires all our discre
tion. He is the best patriot who gives Ms
best thoughts to his country, and refuses to
work upon rash remedies. What we con
clude in the way of peace must not be a
thing to be broken, but to last. It must rest
upon the rock and not on the sand. I 6
must be inspired by the highest wisdom
and sanctified by the most sacred principle.

RETURN OF LIEUT. GENERAL GRANT.
The Lieutenant General reached Washington
yesterday morning, having loft the front of the
army before Raleigh ,on the 26th Inst., After comply
ing w(th the directions of the President of the
United States In the negotiation
-between General Shbbmah and Jon Johhstok.
We are gratified to announce that General Quant
Is In the best spirits, and reports that the orders or
the Government were obeyed with alacrity by
General Shbbmah, and Immediately earrled Into
effect under his detection, by his corps com
manders. There was not tho slightest whisper of
insubordination In any quarter. The spirit with
which the orders ol General Grant were read and
obeyed by General Shbbmah proves him to be, as
he has always shown himself to he, a true soldier,
and reflects the highest credit upon Us well-tried
patriotism. One of the beneficial and desirable re
sults of the surrender of Johhstok, is the reasonable
assurance of that commander that he will ex
ercise the utmost vigilance and authority to
repress and to punish all bushwhacking or guerilla
warfare, and from what we' have heard, a similar
course will be puisued by General Lbb, the late
commander of tbe Army of Northern Virginia.
Another foot may be stated in tUs connection, that
the officers of the rebel army now frankly admit
that the oontlnuance of this war on their, part
wonld not only be a. military impossibility, but
would be Inflicting the greatest Injustice _and mise
ry upon the Southern people. The condition of
the rebel army was suoh that when the
ultimatum of the Government was made known
by General Gbamt’s orders to Job Johhstok and
his associates, It was yielded to at once, thus shbw-'
lngthat It would have been wholly impossible for
them to maintain the oonflict, had not tho negotia
tion taken plaoe between Shsbhak and Johhstok.
So mueh have the Southern people been reduced,
burdened, wasted, and conscripted by the policy
of Jepbbbsoh Davis, that thousands of them are
on the eve of starvation, but the Government
against which they have been arrayed has proved
to be on this, as on the ooeasion of the former sur
render, their constant almoner and benefactor.
TUs intelligence will be most gratifying to the
people ol the loyal States, who have been muck ex
orcised by the proceedings between Generals Shbb
mak and Johmstoh, and who have wafted pa
tiently, with Intense solloltude, the' result of the
mission of Lieutenant General Gbakt.
ARREST OF HARRIS, OF MARYLAND.
Continually squads of cavalry and detectives are

Booth, or for uttering disloyal sentiments, eto.
Among a party thus arrested and brought In here

enclosed with a heavy weight In a cloth And sewed
up. That this disjointed body waß lowered from a

and Mr. Clabbb, the assassin’s brother-ln- law, oame
here to make application for permission to take the
body to Booth’s mother, who desires to have the
privilege of quietly, burying her son’s remains, and
that the authorities refuse this request, and will not,
permit any one to know what Is finally to be the dis
position of the body. Edwih Booth and Olabkb
are here. It Is said the litter was arrested and Im
prisoned in the Old Capitol Prison yesterday morn

ALLEGED ACCESSORIES TO THE MURDER.
It is understood that the arrests of over one hun
dred persons In this city, some of them well-known
citizens, which have taken plaoe in the past forty
eight hours, ore founded upon disclosures made In
part by Habbodd, the accomplice of Booth. It is
believed they tend to show that, a well-organized

(Special Despatch to The Frees.]
Washington, April 30,1885.
We have had a lull to to-day in the excitement
that has been continuous for three weeks past, be
ginning with the news of the taking of Richmond,
soon followed by the surrender of Tbs's army, the
assassination of President Lincoln, the Shbbman-
Johnston diplomacy, and the capture of Bocnfe,
and, finally, yesterday, the Intelligence of John
ston's surrender. The pnbllomlndhas had norelief
during this time from the highest tension of excite
ment and wonder. To-day everything is quiet, and
we now go to work setting the house lu order. The
-War Department takesthe Initiative by dlrectlngthe
reduction of expenses of the military establishment.
This order Is a proof that the Government considers
the war effectually at an end, with a necessity for only
even a sufficient force to protect the process of per
fecting the Southern State Governments, and hold
ing as prisoners those who refuse to take the oath,
until the Governments are put In running order.
The other departments will issue orders similar, to
that of the Secretary of War, and It is estimated that
at onee our expenses'will thus be decreased one
million dollars per day, and that by the Fourth of
Jnlynext our entire expenses will not exceed one.
half the rate at this moment. This policy had bßen
determined jnst after the surrender of Lee, and
when It was evident Johnston would soon be com
pelled to follow Lee's example. But subsequent
untoward events disooncerted the arrangements.
Bnt the reeept of the news of Johnston’s surren
der restored them. From a general estimate of the
number of employees in the War Department
alone, In Its various ramifications, It is found that
abont fifty thousand of these employees con be dis,
pawed with. There are persons engaged In a sort
of half military, half civil oapaclty, and Including
depot guards, nurses, quartermaster and com
missary assistants, military commissions, etc.
In some of the auxllUary branches of the
War Department here the clerks look
aghast at the prospect. On short notice, dr
without any previous notice, their “ occupation's
gone,” and they have soarce a prospect ahead.
What is to be done with those who have been, or
are In the service, is more easily determined.. A
large standing army will be necessary for perhaps
a year or more. It would be most Injudicious to
disband our soldiers and leave us with but a few
thousand regulars. We shall require full 200,000
for some time to come. The remainder, It is assert
ed, from indications already manifest in the army,
win find occupation and field for their restless
spirits in Mexico. There is already muoh talk or an
expedition thence. Of course, any organized re
cruiting for an “expedition” to Mexloo would be
In conflict with our laws; but whilst there are no
formal organizations of bands or companies for this
expedition, there is-said to be a decided “under
standing” that Mexico, with its rich mines Ao., is a
good place to go to, and that Maximilian Isn't a
fit and proper person to govern that country. In
the Navy Department there will also be a great
retrenchment of expenses by the reduction of naval
forces and dispensing with a large number of vessels
that are rendered useless at present, and perhaps
will never again be required under any exigenoy.

Mbxpbis, April 28, VIA Oaibo, April 29.—The
Vicksburg Herald , hi an extra of the 25th,' has a
deEpatehirflatea “off the month of the Bed river,
April 23,” containing the following Information:
At 9 o’clock this evening the famous rebel ram
Webb ran ont of the Bed river, passing all the gun
boats and iron-dads. It here descended the Missis
sippi river with lightning'speed. When firatdls
oovered she had no lights, and emitted no smoke,
bat approached like a huge mass. She was fired on
by the Monitor Manhattan, when she .Immediately
showed signs of life, and shot past the Manhattan.
The latter signalled the Lafayette, and started In
pursuit. The officers of the Manhattan estimate the
speed of the Webb at twenty-five miles an hour,
when passing them.
The steamer Saratoga, from New Orleans, met
the Webb at Tunloa Bend at ten o’clock. She then
attempted to run down the Saratoga, but was un
successful. She continued down. It Is believed
she Intends destroying oar commerce on the Mis
sissippi,and probably make an attempt to escape
to the Gulf.- Some assert that Jeff Davis is proba
bly on board, making his escape to Havana or some
other foreign port. ■
If nothlDg happens the Webb she can reach New
Orleans by daylight to-morrow, and the month df
the Mississippi by noon.
Oaibo, April 29.—The steamer Dolphin, tfhlch
has jußt arrived here, reports meeting the ram
Webb when fifty miles abo.ve New Orleans, at 6.30
A. M., on the 24th Inst. She was then going along
without doing any damage to boats of any kind.
The telegraph wire leading to New Orleans had

HB IS BBABD VBOH IK BOOTH CABOLIKA,
Wabhikgton, April 29 —News reached here to
day that Jeff Davis and his attendants, composing
rite peripatetic Southern Confederacy, had reached
South’ Carolina In their kegira, It is believed they
will be Intercepted before they can reach the Mis
sissippi river. They may, however, make for some
portion of the Atlantic coast,’ snd endeavor to get
ont of the country by sea. (
HE IS PBOBABI.Y IK HOBTHWKBTBBK GSOBGIA-
Baltimobb, April 29.— The Richmond Whig, of
ypsterday, Is at hand. It says: “The telegram
worn Sew Orleans, on the ethjlnstant, mentioned by
ns yesterday, that Davis had reached the Missis
sippi river at Tinker’s Bend,'and crossed without
attracting the observation of the Whited States
navy, meets with more credit at the North than It
deserves. .
“ Davis, certainly, was not n«ar the Mississippi on
the 16th Inst. He, as we faaire before stated upon
positive authority,, set out.from Greensboro on,
the 16th Instant, but in . what exact direction
we have been unable to learn.'. Some of his follow
ers declared tbeir route to be the trans-Mississippi,
and this, would be the only one promising him a
ehanoe of escape, unless byprevloks agreement he
had a blockade-runner waiting fol him somewhere
on the A tiantie coast. If he setoutforthe trans-Mls.
slssippl ha probably went direct to! Abbeville, South
Carolina, and thence stmek ont ftr the Mississippi
river through the northern portions of Georgia,
Alabama, and Mississippi. I
“By adopting this line of march he might hope to
avoid General Wilson’s forces, now resting on their
arms at Macon, Georgia; though ie oould not, with
out relays of horses, which the extnusted state of the
country Is not likely to afford, hops to roach the Mis
slssippl In less than three weeks. Were we to has
ard a guess as to his whereabout! we should say ha
was somewhere In northwestern Georgia; though of
Gourde It would be the merest guess, based upon
tie solitary fact that he was at Greensboro’ on the

Texas.” . ’ 1 I , ’ .

Columbus, April 29, 1885.—The rotunda of the
Capitol wbb draped In mourning. The coffin was
approached by five steps. It rested on a mound of
moss, In which were dotted the Choicest flowers. At
the head of tee coffin rested a large floral wreath,
while directly behind tee latter were flowers in glass
and china vessels,.contributed by ladles. At the
corners of the platform on the floor were large
vases also filled with flowers. The walls were
adorned with a naval ploture, representing a Beene
in tee life of Commodore Perry, and with banners
carried by Ohio troopsln tee recent war, torn and
riddled by bullets ta many a conflict. # No oonfuslon
whatever was occasioned on entering and retiring
from the Oapltol, owing to tee admirable arrange
ments, and, for about seven hours, there wss a con
stant line of .spectators passtag.before the remains.
Bsmds of music played durUgf tee afternoon on the

H. Wilson, who had charge of the esoort from
Washington, will accompany the remains as far as

removed to the depot, and at a few minutes after 8
o’clock P. M. were on their way to Indianapolis,
whichcity we. will reach to-morrow morning. -
In.the large meeting was held on the
-East Terrace. A dirge was ployed by the Camp
Thomas Band, and, after a prayer, tee Hon. J. E,
Stevenson delivered tee following eloquent and ap
propriate address:
. Ohio mourns! America mourns! The civilized
world will mourn the cruel death of Abraham Lln-
Lincoln—the brave,tee wise, tee good—the bravest,
wisest, best of men. History alone can measure and
weigh his worth; But we, ta parting from his
mortal remains, may indulge tee fullness of our
hearts in a' few broken words of his life, and his
death, and his fame—his noble life and martyrs
death and matchless fame. A Western farmer’s
son, eell-mado, in manhood he won by sterling
qualities of head and heart the' public confidence,
and was entrusted with the peoples’ power.
Growing with Ms State, he became leader, Presi
dent. He disbelieved the threats of traitors, and
sought to serve Ms term In peace. When clouds of
civil war darkened the lana, the President prayed
for peace and long opposed the war 5 and only when
the storm became fnrlons did he stem the elements;
and daring the fosr years of war whioh raged the
President was tried as man was never tried
beiore. Oh! with what a load of toll and oare has
he come, with steady step, through the valley and
shadow of defeat over the bright mountain of
victory, np to the sunlight plain or peace; tried by
dire disaster at Bnll Run, where volunteer patriots
met traitors; at Fredericksburg, where courage
contended with nature; rat Chancellorsville, that
desperate venture In the swamps of the Ohlcka
hominy, where a brave army was'bnrled in vain;
by the siege of Charleston, the mookery of (Rich
mond, and the dangers at Washington, through all
these trials the President stood firm) trusting In
God, and while the people trusted In God and 80,
there were never braver men than the Union sol-
filers, In Grecian phalanx. Roman legion, nor
braver ever bent the Saxon bow or bore the barbs,
jdan battle-axe, or set the lance inrest; none braver
ever followed the Crescent and the Cross, or fought
with Napoleon, or Wellington, or Washington.
Yet the commander-in-chief of the Union army find
navy was worthy of the man filling for four years
the roremoßt and most perilous post. Unfalteringly
tried by good fortune, he saw the soldiers of the
West recover the great valley and bring bank to
the Union the father of the waters and all Us beau
tiful children. Ha saw the legions of Lee banted
from the heights of Gettysburg. He saw the flag
of the free rise on Lookont Mountain and speed
from’the river to the sea, and rest over Sumpter. He
saw the star-spangled banner, lightened by the blaze
of battle, bloom over Richmond, and he saw Lee
surrender; yet he remained wise and modeat,’giving
all the glory to God and onr army and navy. Tried
by olvll affairs wUch would’ have tried the power
and tested the vlrme of Jefferson, Hamilton, and
Washington, he administered that so well that
after three years no man was found to take his
place. He was re-elected, and the harvest of sue
cess came In so grandly that he might have said
“ Now, Lord, lot thy servant- depart In peace, for
mine eyes have seen the glory.” Yet .he was free
from weakness and vanity, Thus did he exhibit,
on occasions, a due proportion of harmonious
action, those cardinal virtues, the trinity of true
- greatness, coinage, wisdom, goodness to love, the
right wisdom to know the right, and ooarage to do
the right. Tried by those tests, and by the touch
stone of success, he was the greatest of living men.
Be stood on the summit, his brow bathed in the
beams of the rising sun of peace, staging tn his heart
the angetic'Bong of “ Glory to Godin the highest;
peace on earth, good will to men.” With charity for
all, he had forgiven the people of the South,
ana might have forgotten their leaders, covering
with the broad mantle of his character their multi
tude of sins. Bat he Is slain by slavery; that fiend
incarnate did the deed! Beaten In battle, the lead
ers sought to save slavery by assassination. Their
madness pressed their destination. Abraham Lin
coln was the personification of merey; Andrew
Johnson is the personification of justice. They have
murdered meroy, and justice rules alone; and the
people, with one voice, pray to heaven that justice
may be done, The mere momentum of our victori
ous armies will crush every rebel In arms, and then
may onr eyes behold the mejestypf the law. They
have appealed to the sword. Ii they were tried by
the law their crimes against humanity would doom
them to death. The blood of thousands of mur
dered prisoners cries to heaven, the shades of sixty
two thousand starved soldiers rise up In judgment
against them, the*txidy of the murdered President
condems them. Some deprecate even vengeance.
There is no room far vengeance. Ere long, before
justice can'have her perfect work, the mate
rial will be exhausted, and the record closed.
Some wonder why the Sonth killed her best
friend. ' Abraham Lincoln was the true Mend
of the people of : the South, for he was their
friend, as Jesus Is the friend of sinners, ready to save
when they repent. He was not the friend of rebel
lion—of slavery. He was their strongest foe, and
therefore they slew him; but In bis death they die.
The people have judged them, and they stand cor
rected with remorse and dismay, while the cause
for which the President perished, sanctified by his
blood, grows stronger and brighter. These aresome
of the consequences of the death of Mr. Lincoln.
Ours Is the grief; theirs is the loss, and his la the
gain. He died for Liberty and Union, and now.he
wears the martyr’s glorious crown. He Is our
orowned President. While the Union survives,
while the love of liberty warms the human heart,
Abraham Lincoln will hold high rank among the
immortal dead. The South needs no aid from
rebel bands to help the Union. The Union.
needs no Instruction. It has not been made
by man. It was oreated by God. It was vital.
If It has wounds In’ the members of Its body they
will heal and leave no soar,''without the opiate
of compromise with treason. Let ns beware of the
: syren of ooneesslon which has so lately betrayed
onr strong man. We cannot afford to sacrifice one
jot or tittle oi principle for conciliation, We had
better bear all the Ills of war than fiy to the oorrnp
tlonol an unprincipled peaee. But no conciliation
is needed. Let the prodigals feed on the husks tilt
they come in repentance and ask to be received in
tHSIr lather’s house—not as the equals to their faith
ful brethren, but on a coequal with their former
servants. Then we can consider their petition and
discuss the question, not of the reconstruction of the
Union, but of the formation of free states from the
national domain. Until then let the sword which
reclaimed their territory rule It, tempered by na
tional law. Some say that except by conciliation
’there can be no time peace by conquest. On the
contrary, there is no enduring peace bat the peace
that Is oonqnered. The peace of France Is a con
quered peace; the peace or England Is conquered
and conquered again ; the peaee of onr fathers Is
a conquered peace t the peace or the world is a
conquered peaee, and, thanks be to G-od, onr peaee
Is to be conquered; and, therefore, a lasting peaee
for a hundred years. Shall the people enjoy lfcSty

| Guns are fired, hells tolled, and there Is muslo
sfrom an Instrumental band, but the melody which
charmed the most was from a choir of both males
and femaleß stationed upon the platform, who sang
a deeply Impressive hymn. Thetrain has Btopped
for a few minnteß, and several young ladles come
Into the funeral oar with floral crosses and wreaths,
and deposit them upon the coffin. At West HIU and
Oanover were large gatherings of people, and heUB
were tolled and minute guns fired at the latter

in all directions by the light of lamps, torches, and
bonfires. The railroad station is adorned with Chi
nese lanterns and flags, in conjunction with dark
mourning drapery. Thirty-Blx women in white
with black sashes, are Binging a plaintive tune,

The one for Abraham Lie coin bears the words,
“The Nation Mourns.” The other, which Is Tor
little Willie, has the following written upon a
card, '* Like the early morning flower he was
taken from our midst.” These floral gifts' are
deposited npon the respective coffins. Here
we pass under an arched bridge, constructed for the
purpose by the Air-Line Ballroad. It haß a span
of twenty-five feet, and Is thirty feet In height.
The abutments are trimmed with evergreens, dotted
with white roses, and mourning drapery Is In close

pass under an arch 30 feet high, dotted with
smkll United States flags. On the depot are
set different pictures wreathed with evergreens and
representing Washington, Lincoln,Grant,Sherman,
Ellsworth, and some other person. This is theplace
which gave Abraham Lincoln Its entire vote at the
last Presidential election. Nearly two thousand
persons are here assembled. It Is now early dawn.
LnwißViiXß, i 28.—-The depot Is handsomely
trimmed, as at the prevlously.passed stations. The

of his country, the emanolpator of a race, and
the friend or all mankind, trinmphed over death

liar tread.” We successively roach several other
places and paBS under two arches, one at eaoh end
of the depot. They are trimmed with evergreens
and small American flags, trimmed with mourning.
This State Is plunged Into the depth of grief. This
is shown not only by the magnificent demonstrations
of her oltles and towns, but all along the Bne the
farmhouserwere decorated, and -their Inmates had
gathered In clusters, and by tfaellght of bonfires and
torches caught a glimpse of the train which ires
hearing from their sight the remains of him who 4
had moulded their opinions to the foshion of his own
mind, and who, In the first glmmerlnge of peace,
had been snatched from the soend of his labors
and his triumph to the reward of State, who
sink to rest by all their country’s wishes
blest. The rain whloh fell early In the night did not
prevent the.ontpouilng of the people, butafter twelve
o’clock the skies cleared and gave us starlight to In
dianapolis. Before the break of day the orowd be
gan to gather about the depot, and by six o'clock all
the avenues leading to It were closely packed with
people. At half past six the pilot train, whloh goes
ahead of the funeral cortege to clear the way,
arrived. Every moment:the orowd Increased In den
sity; every street poured out its contributions of men,
women, and children, eagerly seeking, and
solemn faces,to obtain a view of the train. |At seven
the funeral train arrived; In the meantime the
military had been drawn up In open order,
facing Inward, forming a line of bayonets extending ;
from Illinois and Washington streets up to the State
House doors. Alter some little unavoidable delay
the corpse was taken charge of by the local guard
of honor, under command of Colonel Simonson, and
tenderly conducted to the hearse, the City Band
playing asad and sorrowful dirge, aalled “ Lincoln’s
Funeral March,” composed expressly for the occa

open ranks of the soldiers, standing at a present

to the State House,on either side,ln the falllngraln,
and amid the sound of the tolling bellß and the oc.
caelonal firing of cannon. All along the entire line
of jnaroh the citizens thronged the sidewalks, bal
conies, and doorsteps, oatchlnga fleeting glimpse
of airthat is mortal of our Abraham Lincoln. The
hearse conveying the remains Is it feet long, 5 feet
wide, and It feet high, covered with black velvet.
It Is curtained with black, trimmed with silver
fringe. The roof of the oar hears twelve white plumes,
trimmed with black. On the top, about the centre, Is
a beautiful eagle silver gUt. The rides arest added
with large silver stars. The car was drawn by white
horses in black velvet cavers, bearing eaoh a black
i plume trimmed with white; six of these same horses
I were attached to the carriage, over four years ago,
in which Abraham Lincoln rode through Indianapo

emblems of mourning, but Washington street pre
seats, the finest display. At all the intersecting
streets are triple arches adorned In part with
evergreens, and national fiagß arranged In the most
tasteful and beautiful maimer. This Is the first
time we have seen suah arches erected over
the carriage-ways since- we left Washington
on our-westward journey. The enclosure of the
State-House Square Is hung with wreaths or arbor
sitae. At each eomer on Washington street small
arches, trimmed with evergreens, have been created.
The main entrance on Washington street Isa struc
ture of considerable size, combining quite a variety:
of styles of architecture; It is about twenty-five feet
high, forty feet in length, and twenty-four feet wide.
Underneath Is a carriage way twelve feet wide
wltfi a six-feet passage way on either side. The'
main pillars are fifteen feet high. Portraits of
Grant, Sherman, Farragut, and Morton are bus,
' pended from the' pillars, while on the pedestals
at-the top rest handsome busts or Washington,
i Webster, Lincoln, and Olay. The entire structure
Is beautifully shrouded in black, and is relieved
by evergreen-garlands, with a fine display of flags.
At the north side a. simple draping of black and
white has been erected. The pillars of the south
front of the capital are spirally covered with alter
nate white and black doth, the latter edged-wlth
evergreens, while the coat of arms of the State
is placed in the pediment. Daring the per
formance of an Impressive funeral dirge, the
tolling of bells, and the sounding of can
non, the coffin Is carried to the Interior ef the
State House in the presence of the military and
oivle escort which has accompanied the remains
pom Washington, Along the wells, as we enter, we
see pictures of Washington, Lincoln, Johnson,
Seward, Sheridan, Hovey, Morton, Douglas, Sher
man, Grant, Oclonel Dick O’Neall, and Edward’
Everett. Bnsts of Washington, Lincoln, Jackson,
Webster, Clay, and Douglas are placed at in
tervale, their brows bound with the ever-living
laurel flowers, and evergreens everywhere liberally
enter Into the artistic arrangements. Heavy
black cloth Is hung In the rotunda, looped at
the pillars with large white tassels, while the sur
mounting of the interior dome, which forms loosely
the hung canopy, Is In blaok, with white cords and
taaselß, and ornamented with golden stars. Imme
diately beneath hangs the chandelier, with numer
ous branches, and from which a mellow light is shed
upon the sombre scene. The platform Is In the
centxe of the rotunda, under the chandelier. It Is
covered with fine black velvet, with Bllver fringe.
On this .the coffin Is placed, surrounded by flowers,
while white wreaths and floral crosses lie upon the
lid. The remains were, Boon after their arrival, ex
posed to the pnbllo view.
iKDiAHArotra, April 30.—The Olty Councils of
Louisville and Olnoinnati and a delegation from
Covington, together with Governor Bramletto, of
Kentucky, were here today to take part In the
funeral procession. Thousands of persons from the
surrounding country also thronged the olty. When
the coffin was being placed on the dais in the
capital to-day a choir sung a funeral hymn to
tite accompaniment of a piano. Several ladles
were In attendance meanwhile, arranging flow*
ere, pausing occasionally to wipe the tears from,
their faces. The heavy black draping of the
rotunda, and the soft light reflected upon the"
features of the deceased from the ohandeller, gave
to the countenance a sepulchral appearance, and
eonld not fall to Bolemnlze every heart. Ail felt the
awe that reigned around the presence of the dead
The children of the Sabbath schools were first ad
mitted, and then the ladies and citizens, severally
passing through the h&U from north to south.
The remains were escorted to the oars at mld
night, and we now leave Indlanapollr-for Chicago,

North are but just beginning. ... ,
The j Daily News says It Is not yot In a position to
judge how decisive the result Is . ■ . „
The Star considers the Richmond catastrophe as
the end of the slaveholders’ rebellion. It thinks,
however, that Davis and Lee may attempt to earn
on their career a few months longer In the Missis
sippi provinces. . ,
The Daily Telegraph says: It seems now beyond
human pro Lability that the Goufederacy should con
quer Independence. The fall of Richmond Is the,
catastrophe. Numbers, resolution, and resources
have beaten diplomacy, devotion, and desperate va
lor. Guerilla warfare may prolong the miseries of
the South, hut can Boareely alter the determination
of the Federate.- .
The*P»feays: Admitting the victories claimed
by the Federate, they must now be about to enter on
the real difficulties of the task.
The Globe and Standard argue against the suppo
sition that the end of the Confederacy has come
with the fall of Richmond.
It is stated that Mr. Gladstone’s budget will leave
nearly four millions sterling surplus at his disposal.

In the French Chamber of Deputies, os the
amendment to the address preposing a paragraph
on American affairs favorable to the North, fit Eu
gene Felleton made a speech highly eulogistic of
the Northern cause, and rejoicing that the pro
slavery rebellion , was crushed by the fall of Rich
mond. He thought the American question ought
to have been passed over In silence In the speech
from the throne, and in the address. M, Pellewo
was continually Interrupted by the Southern sym
pathisers In the Chamber, and was finally com
pelled to desist, owing to the noise. The amend
mendment received 22 votes, but was, of course,
like ell amendments, rejected. Many prominent
men abstained from voting. The address was final

THE VERY LATEST.
Londonderry, April 21.—The London Morning
Advertiser makes a questionable statement that, on
the fall of Richmond, Napoleon proposed a treaty
between England and Franco against the United
States, In the event of an attack on Cuba.
The London Index (rebel organ) yet expresses
hopes for the South In the sesond act of the war,
which It says is aboht to commence. - , ,
Buchanan, Hamilton & Co., china merchants of
Glasgow, have suspended, with liabilities of £76,000
to jemooo.
The Dailjr News- regards the oontest as virtually
closed, so far as the armies In the field were con
cerned ; and in thej-apld melting away of Lee’s
army it tees ground for hoping that ao attempt at
guerilla warfare wll) be made.
The Globe considers It probable that Lee will
reach the mountains, If at all, with a mere handful
of men, and although some time may elapse before
all- resistance Is put down, yet the end is sure.
