Boferrlng to the Messrs. Pennington’s Bulletin
BiUiognphique, whlok gives a list, monthly, of all
the now boobs published In France, we have been
struefc With the singular faot that Napoleon’s His
tory or Julius Csssar is muoh dearer in Paris than
in this eountry. The work has appeared there in
two forms one, in quarto, at SO franos (ten dollars
In gold) per volume—another In ootavo, at 10 franos
per volume, but to this Is added five franos more for
tbe maps, which are given In the quarto volume
without ejtra oharge. The New York editions,
which are the perfection of typographical execution,
are apout half the prloe of the Paris books.
Translations of Carlylo’s History of the Frenoh
Sevolntlon, Edgar Foe’s grotesque and serious
tales, Moore’s Epicurean, Washington Irving’s Life
of Mahomet, and Merlvale’s History of the Bo
mans under the Empire, have lately appeared In
Paris.
“ Hours at Home,” a new magazine of religious
and useful literature, published by Mr. O. sarlbner.
Ntw York, has been forwarded to us by Mr. T. B.
Pugh, sixth and Chestnut, who is agent In this
olty to receive subscriptions and deliver suborlbors’
copies at their own houses, free of oharge. Our
opinion of this periodical, making every allowance
for Its being the Brßt number, Is favorable, on the
whole, and we oordlallv wish It sueoess, If Its con
ductor, Mr. James M. Sherwood, will keep his pro.
nilso that It 11 will [shall 1] bo animated also by
a Catbolle tplrlt, so that It may belong to the
whole American Church.” A list of thlrty-slx
” eminent” contributors is given, among whom are
twen’y-seven Doctors or Divinity, (two of whom also
write- DUD. after their names,) four Dootors of
Daw, ton University Presidents or Professors, one
Bishop, one untitled- olergyman, and two laymen,
one of whom Is also M. D. We know something
abont periodical literature, and therefore do not
hesitate to say that'snob a elorleal force as this U
overweight for any magazine Intended to be popu
lar, by uniting useful with religious literature. The
articles In the opening number are the work of nine
Dootors ol Divinity, two Professors, and three or four
lay-writers. The best, as also the most praotlcal,-
artlcle Is “Have wo found the Nllol” by Dr. J. P.
Thompson, who shares and justifies the doubts we
have repeatedly expressed of Captain Speke’s dis
covery of the real source of the Nile. There Is
also a good article on Cornelius, the Gorman
painter, bnt it Is oopled from the Art Journal
of London. No article can be considered
below mediocrity, except Professor Noah Porter’s
“ Lyman Beecher and Martin Luther,” In which a
comparison is absurdly strained. Strange to say,
the poetical contributions are of more than average
merit. We wish all success to Hours ol Home, the
object of whieh is admirable, bnt no magazine In
tended for general or even family reading oan have
any lair chanae with tbe lay element so much ex
eluded from' Its contents. A phalanx of olerleal
contributors would swamp the publication certainly
and soon.
11 Life In Heaven,” by the author of “ Heaven onr
Home” and “Meet for Heaven,” published by Ro
berts Brothers, Boston, uniform with these volumes,
has shared their great popularity In England, thongh
the author has ohoseu to remain anonymous. We
earnestly recommend It for family reading, Beoelved
from J. B. Ltpplncott A Co.
DlckS Fitzgerald, iNew York, have published,
Illustrated with more than a thousand wood en
gravings, a 12mo. volume, entitled “ That’s It; or,
Plain Teaching.” It contains a large amount of
useful information on a variety of subjects—art,
science, mechanics, natnre, manufactures. Inven
tions, Ac.—and Is admirably Indexed.
Another volume from the same publishers Is
“ Wright’s Book of 3,000 Practloal HeoelptS i or,
Complete Book of Reference.” It gives faots, use
ful and Interesting, about cookery, pastry, pre
serving, pickling, confectionery, distilling, per
fumery, varnishing, ohemleals, dyeing, and agricnl
ture. Beoelved lrom J. B. Uppir.oott A Co, ''
Six months ago Hnnt’s Improved Map of Warren
county, Pa. (published byj. P. Hunt, Pittsburg),
on the scale or an inch to the mile, and with every
holding separately marked dawn, would have found
many a purchaser among oil speculators, oven If
one hundred dollars had been the price set upon It.
Now It can be obtained for a trifle, and Its publish,
er’s character gives assuranoe of US accuracy. He
has already brought out a largomap of the Ycnango
OU Regions, and- of West Virginia aTl( i Ohio OU
Regions, and is preparing maps of Clarion, Fa r
ette, and Greene counties, and of Mecca Oil
Regions.
The Illustrated Hand Book of Billiards, In which
the American game Is treated by Mlehael Phelan,
and the French game by Claudius Berger, is pub
lished by Dlok & Fitzgerald, New York, and will
be found especially nseful to ladles and novices be
ginning to learn the game.
Walker, Fuller, & Co., Boston, have published
“Berlin 11 as the sixth volume of their juvenile
series, “Spectacles for Young Eyes,” by Sarah W.
Lander. It Is neatly and liberally illustrated,
and will give the young reader a pretty good Idea
of the Prussian oapital.
Smith, English, & Co. have sent us “The An
nual of Scientific Discovery In 18115,” published by
Gould & Lincoln, Boston.. This Is the sixteenth
volume of a valuable, beoause thoroughly reliable
and carefully complied series, which has been
edited from the first, we believe, by Dr. David
Wells, an accomplished and well-informed original
writer on Science and Philosophy. It places be*
foie Its readers In the plainest, fullest, yet least
diffuse manner, every scientific, geographical, anti'
quartan, and mechanical discovery, all over the
civilized world, In the year 1864.
We notice, with pleasure, the Continued success
and Increasing merit ol the Philadelphia Photo
grapher, published by Benerman A Wilson, in this
olty. In addition to a variety of other Intelligence,
It contains accurate reports of the proceedings of
the Photographlo Society of Philadelphia. The
picture, for this “ merry month or May,” represents
the Falls of Melslngah, near the Hudson, not far
from Flshklll Landing, printed by R. Newell, Arch
street, from a negative by J. C. Browne. Owing to
thO peculiarity of the locality, the view was not
easily photographed.
From Fisher & Brother we have “President Lin
coln at Home,” engraved by A. B. Walter, from,
bnt not quite as good as, the photograph published
by Mr. Charles Desilver, Chestnut street- The boy's
head Is not so well represented as In the original
photograph.
NEWS OF literature.
Mr. Carleton, the New York publisher, an
nounces a tew story, called “Fairy Fingers,” by
Mrs. Ritchie (formerly Mrs. Howatt, the actress);
a new novel, entitled “ Hugh Worthington,” by
Mrs. Mary J. Holmes, and “ Superior Fishing,” a
new book, chatty and genial, by Mr. Robert B.
Roosevelt, author of “ The Game Fish of the
North.”
Untie In Pull.
Meyerbeer’s “L’Africaine,” which has been
talked about for twenty years at least, Is a
length to be presented to the publio. it will be
produced at the grand opera in the course of the
present week, most likely to-morrow, though the
day Is not advertised. A general rehearsal of It
took place on Sonday night. For this rehearsal
Count Bacciochl, one of the great dignitaries of the
court, who is specially charged with theatrical
matters, monopolised “ for the servloe of the Em
peror,” every place in the house, that la, nobody
was allowed to enter except with a tloket given by
him, not even the people who rent boxes by the
year. By h!s Majesty’s direction he Invited first of
all his Majesty’s private friends, and these whom
he delights to honor; next, the leading members
of the corps diplomatique; next, a considerable num
ber of the members of tho Senate and the Corps
Leglslatif; next, a few authors and artists, who, as
tho French say, ore 6im.en error—stand wellat oourt.
This, done, he gave tickets to his own friends, and
then'to his friends’ friends. For the rest, few In
number, there was fierce competition, and those per.
sons who were favored poured blessings on the head
ol the count, and those who were refused cursed
him. The rehearsal of an opera hardly merits all
this pother; but Paris has the pretension to be the
greatest artistic and literary city of Europe, and
as EUCh the solemn rehearsal of a new opera, by
suoh a genius as Meyerbeer, is an event of extra
ordinary magnitude. All Paris talks about it, and
Quorum pars magna /tri.is said by every one who had
the honor and glory to “assist.”
A new opera by Yerdl. the Italian composer,
based on the tragedy of ’ “ Macbeth,” has _ been
brought out at the Thdiitre Lyrlque. In the libretto
Sbnktpeare’s great work Is adhered to with more
fidelity than Is to be found in his other pieces trans
planted to the musical stage. But the general
opinion of the French critics Is that Yerdl has not
succeeded In producing music worthy of the tragedy.
They admit that he has composed some striking
morceavx, but they hold that he has failed to render
the gloom; grandeur of the piece. One can easily
conceive this, seeing that the modern Italian mind
can hardly appreciate the men and the deeds of bar
barous times In Northern regions. To feel the
solemn and fearful beauty of “Macbeth” a man
must be a Northern.—Liverpool Courier, April 25.
Tbb Fbbhch Navt.—The Opinion Rationale
states that the French Imperial Navy Is at present
composed of 491 vessls afloat, and 18 on the stocks,
classed as follows: Iron-plated steam vessels—2
-hips of-the-Une afloat, 1 building, 11 frigates afloat,
3on the stocks; I corvette on the etocks, none afloat;
i coastguard on the stooks, none afloat; 12 floating
batteries, and 4on the stocks; 11 batterteß, capable
>1 being taken to pieces, afloat, and none on the
•tookß. 7 screw steamers, not Iron-plated—36 ships
■Mheline afloat, none building; 28 frigates afloat,
<nd lon the stocks; 11 oorvettes afloat, and 3on the
docks; 43 colters afloat, and none on the stocks;
-8 gun-brigs afloat, and one on the stocks; 46 tran
-ports afloat, and 3on the stocks; 4 vessels afloat for
pedal service. Paddle-wheeled Bteamers not Iron
niated—l6 frigates and 61 cutters afloat. Sailing
esself—l BhJp-of-thellne, 19 frigates, 9 corvettes, 12
origs, 66 floating vessels for thoconveyanoe of troops
no stores, and 29 transports all afloat, with 1 tran
port on the stocks. These vessels carry altogether
~699 auns. and their steam power Is equal to that of
03,292 borseß. Franoo possesses, moreover, 245
siting vessels capable of being armed with oannon
n case of war.
Expobt of Salt vboh Gbbat BatTAut.— Tha
sports of salt from the United Kingdom in the two
norths ending February 28th, this year, amounted
o 37.701 tons, as compared with 68,231 tons In 1854,
md 64 728 tons in 1863 (corresponding periods). The
.spoils to Russia were 233 tons against 365 tons In
■he corresponding period of 1864; to the United
States, 8,678 tons against 11,647 tons; to British
America, 2.449 tons against 1,222 tons; to British
ltdla, 10,144 tons against 28,284 tons; and to other
rcuntriee, 18.295 tons against 21,813 tons. There
we thus a decrease this Tear In the exports In all
dJjectioßß. The declared value of the salt exported
to February 28th, this year, was £lB 308 against
£26,508 IB 1864, and £28,061 fa 1863 (oorrwpondiag
periods).
PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 12,1865.
THE ENGLISH PRESS.
Its Comments Upon the Assassination of
the Late President.
In recognizing the deep feeling whloh has been
expressed by the entire English press, and evinced
by tbe English people generally, respecting the as*
sasslnatlon of the late President, we- may say that
It was merely what we anticipated, and, indeed,
had a right to expeot. This feeling Is marked by
an nniverssl horror at the deed, and we accept it
without making any exception to some of the po
litical comments on the oondltlou In whloh It Is
supposed that It must plunge our nation. From the
editorial on the subject In the London D«% tfsws
we extract the following eloquent tribute to the
memory of the good and great man who wag taken
from our midst In tbe hour of his greatest triumph:
“In the hour of his groat wo.k done, President
Lincoln has fallen. Not, indeed, In the flush of
triumph, for no thought of triumph was In that
honest and hnmble heart, nor In the Intoxication of
applause, for the Unite of victory were not yet
gathered in his hand, was the ohlef of the American
people, the foremost man in the great Christian re
volution of onr age, sttuok down. But (Us task was,
nevertheless, accomplished, and tbe battle of his life'
was won. So he passes away from the heat and the
toll that still have to be endured, full of the honor
.that belongs to one who has so nobly done his part,
and carrying In bis lwt thoughts the sense of deep
steadfast thankfulness that he now oouid see the as
sured coming ol that end for whlah he had so long
striven tn faith and hope.. Who shall pity or lament
such a death, while tbe tears of a nation fall Upon
his corpse, and the world softly spoaks-how true and
good he was ? Who will not bow the bead submis
sive to tbe inscrutable decree which mocks our plans
and lanoles, but even In our sorrow makes ns feel
that It is wiser, juster, kinder, than onr valmwlsnes
might have been 1 For In all time to ooine, not
among Americans only, but among all who think of
manhood as more than rank, and set worth above
display, tbe name of Abrabam Lincoln will bah.M -
In reverence. Rising from anting the poorest of the
people, winning his slow way upward by sheer.hard
work, preserving in every successtve's|ege a charac
ter unspotted and a name untainted, securing a'
wider respect as ho became bettor known, never
pretending to more than he was, nor being less than
lb professed himself, he was at length, for very sin
gleness of heart and uprightnessofoondaot, because
all felt.that they oouid trust him utterly, and would
desire to be guided by hie firmness, courage, and
sense, plaoed in the ohair Of President at the corn
lng point of his nation’s history. A Ufe.so true; re
waided by a dignity so majsstlo, was defense
enougb against the petty shafts or malice which
party spirit, violent enough to light a civil war,
aimed against him.”
Let us own that to have merited such a tribute,
and to have- drawn It from the pen of a foreigner
half redeems his bloody death in our eyes from the
unmitigated horror whloh well nigh palsied our
feelings when we first reaelved tbe Intelligence of
lt-by the eleotrio wire. The English Army and
So vy Gazette , previous to a very warm>uloglum on
the memory of the murdered President, says that
“nothing for many years hae moved England like
the telegram announcing the event.” In Its com
ments upon the assassination, the London Star Is
Induced to discuss Southern oompllclty with this
crime. The following, as showing what a com
pletely re parte feeling may suggest, will more than
justify our own strong feelings with regard to It:
“ It does not need even the disclosures which have
now, too late for any good purpose, reaehod official
quarters to prove that two madmen oannot become
simultaneously Inspired with the same monstrous
project and impelled at the one moment to do
th.lr several parts of the one bloody business. The
chivalry of the Sonth has had much European com
pliment of late It has been discovered to be the
fount and origin of all the most noble and knightly
qualities which the world heretofore had principal
ly known through the medium or modlssval ro
mance. Lot It not be forgotten that Southern
brains lately planned the conflagration of a peace
ful city. Itnever oan be forgotten, while history is
read, that the bands of Southern partisans have
been reddened by the foulestassassln plot the world
has ever knows ; that they have been treacheronßly
dipped In the blood of one of the best citizens and
purest patriots to whom the land of Washington
gave birth.”
In describing the manner In whloh the. Intelli
gence fell upon the heart of London, tbe London
Times ol April mb. says :
* “ It is not using the language of hyperbole In
describing the prevailing manifestation of feeling as
unexampled. President Lincoln was only the chief
or a foreign State, with whloh we were not unfre
quently In diplomatic or polltloal collision. He
might have been regarded as not muoh more to us
than tbe head of any friendly Government. And
yet hts end has already stirred the feelings of the
public to their utmost depths. A spaas of twenty
four boms has sufficed to fill the country not only
with grief and indignation, bnt to evoke almost un
precedented expressions of feeling lrom constituted
bodies. It was but ou Wednesday that the Intelli
gence reached ns, and on Thursday the Houses of
Lords and Commons, the Corporation of London,
and the people ol onr ehlef manufacturing towns, In
public meetings assembled, had recorded their
sentiments or expressed their views. In the House
of Lords absenoo of precedent for such manifesta
tions was actually made the subjeot of remark. The
addresses which the Amerioan people will reoeive
from us are expressions of sincere and unaffected
sympathy.”
In an artlole of the same data as those which wo
have previously quoted, It thus speaks of the de
ceased President: ' -
“The office cast upon him was great, Its duties
most onerohs, and the obscurity or his past career
afforded no guarantee of his ability to discharge
them. His shortcomings, moreover, were on the
surface. The education of a man whose early years
had been spent In earning bread by manual labor
bad necessarily been defective, and faults of man
ner and errors of taste repelled the observer at the
outset. In spite of these drawbacks, Mr. Lincoln
slowly won for himself the respect and confidence
of all His perfect honesty speedily became appa
rent, and, what Is, perhaps, more to his credit,
amid the many unstudied speeches which he was
called upon from time to time to deliver. Imbued
though they were with the rough humor of his early
associates, he was In none of them betrayed into
any Intemperance of language toward his oppo
nents*cr toward neutrals. His utterances were
apparently careless, but his tongue was always
under command. The quality of Mr. Lincoln’s
Administration, whioh served, however, more than
any other, to enlist the'sympathy of bystanders, was
Its conservative progress. He felt his way gra
dually to his conclusions, and thOße who will com
pare the different stages of his oareer one with
another,will find Cfiathls mind was growing through
out the course? of It. The naivelf with whtoh he
once suggested to the negroes that they should take
themselves off to Central Amerloa, because their
pt esenoe In the States was Inconvenient to the white
population, soon disappeared. The gradual change
ot his language and of his policy was most remark
able. Englishmen learned to respeot a man
who showed the best characteristics of their race
In his respect for what Is good In the past, acting
in unison with a recognition 01 what was made
necessary by tho events of passing history.
Bnt the growth of Mr. Lincoln’s mind was sub.
jeot to a single modification. It would seem
that he felt himself of late a mere Instrument, en
gaged In working ont a great cause, whioh he oould
partly recognize, but which he was powerless to
control. In the mined strength and weakness of
his character he presented a remarkable contrast
to Mr. Seward, who was his ooadjutor for more
than four years, and who must, we fear, be reckoned
his fellow victim. The Secretary of State, long be
fore bis elevation to office, was a prominent oitlzen
of New York. More than a quarter or a century
ago he was the governor of that State, and for
twelve years ha represented It in the Senate. In
the Empire City and at Washington he had at
talned a culture which tho Illinois lawyer never
acquired. But the experience of the politician had,
perhaps, weakened the independence of Mr. Sew
ard’s oharacter, and he never Inspired the same
confidence rb his chief, because |t was not known
by what influences bis coarse might not be mo
dified.”
The Dally Telegraph characterizes the atrocious
murder In the following words:
“No fonler crime stands ohronioled In all history
than the murder of Abraham Lincoln. The sorry
pleas of State necessity or polltloal Interest that
have been advanced time out of mind to palliate
assassination cannot even be heard with toleration
In such a case as this, for the aot Is one' that out
rages humanity and shooks the oommon conscience
Of the world; It Is accursed and supremely Infa
mous ;it Is most cowardly, most cruel. Every war
has Its horrors, and the great fight between the
North and the South has been no exception fir the
rnle; bnt there never was anything more atrocious
than this—never anything more base than the
slaughter of a man who, daring years of great ex.
oltencnt, had scarcely made a single personal ene
my. A sturdy, sensible Western man, with long
limbs and a longer head, Mr. Unooln had worked
his way In the world without any dishonorable sub
terfuges or mean devices. Clear, direct, simple, and
straightforward, he had already, during his brief
term of office, outlived many suspicions, jealousies,
misconstructions, and dislikes. He bore his honors
well, and was settling down into a quiet, simple
dignity of manner, and a kindly moderation of
thought and temper. Terrible had been the trial
through which he bad victoriously passed. He was
emphatically one of the people, but his homespun
virtues justified the people’s choice. To-day all
party feeling, all polltloal jealousies, must be
bushed and suspended; to-day no man Is a sympa
thizer with North or South. We are all mourners.”
After publishing the details of the murder, the
London Globe writes thus:
“It was easy enough to slay him. He weiftovtnif
unguarded. We.were told that assasUnaclon was
sot in the American oharacter, as If that character
a ere radically different from the character of men
in other parts of the world. The lawlessness which
prompted men to fire New York, In the hope of
burning It down, whioh led the Confederate refu
gees in Canada to commit felonies in Vermont, has
now struck at the head of the State, and has taken
his Hie.”
In an article' in the Pall Mall Gazette we find this
strongly Indignant portion:
“It would be bard to show that he made one false
step In the management of the great trust com
mitted to him. He Is gone, and Is to be succeeded
by Mr. Andrew Johnson, who for the next fohr years
Kill be the greatest potentate in the worldj except,
perhaps, the Czar. In the absence of all details on
'his subject, it Is Idle to guess at the authors of this
-xecrabie crime. The hOC, Indeed, Is so hideous and
pernicious to the Interest or the North, the South,
md Europe at large, that the author ol it must he
cither a madman or a devil. If there is the least
reason to suspect the Southern leaders of iany sort
-f complicity with this awful wickedness, It will
lamn their cause forever, and justify the harshest
'Hogs said against them. We may hope and be
‘ieve, for the honor of human nature, that It Is the
act of one Individual wretch, who had not the eense
or calmness to guess at the full extent of the conse
quences of the aot whioh he did.”
from the Newosstle Chronicle we' excise .the fol
lowing:
“ The news came upon ns like a thunderbolt, and
lias given rise to imprecations we dare not) repeat.
Knowing what is felt and said In England, we
:an well Imagine what Is felt and said In the land
wbloh Abraham Lincoln has served and blessed and
died for. The slaveowners have done their best and
worst. Falling to destroy a great and free Govern
ment, they snoceßsfally conspired to murder a
■vent and unbendldg patriot. Hideous as wen
their other orlmes, this last surpasses them
<ll. Heneeforth they may expect neither mercy
cor compassion. Abraham Lincoln was the most
popular man In America. He was known and
loved. The Idol of a nation he had saved, he has
cow become its martyr. To him, it was hoped, the
glorious task was entrusted or conciliating the tn
-urgents he had subdued. If »U thought Of eenel
latlon has now been banished Item the mind of the
Northern people—lf desire for vengeance has taken
the anxiety for forgiveness—the Blaveowners have
'inly to approach themselves. The universal cry for
meroy has to-day given plaee to a load and ezaspe
-ated demand for punishment. The fleroe and un
relenting disposition that may come of this horrid
tonsummatlon of a four years’ struggle for slavery,
It is terrible even to contemplate; bnt whatever
may happen to the slaveowners now will have to be
endured without the poor consolation of English
sympathy.” j
Bnt we might go on multiplying opinion upon
opinion were we inclined to do so. The London
Po'il and Herald, the Liverpool and Manchester
papers, unite In expressions of horror and disgust
aad coincide In the universal “ respect felt by English*
men for a man who hasdeveloped the best characteristics
cf his race in hit respect for what is good in the past,
in unison with a recognition of what was made neces*
lory by the events of passing history."
The First Liberated Slaves After tbe
Emancipation Proclamation.
Among the Incidents of the great rebellion which
the press is chronicling et this time, is the faot that
the (first slaves liberated under the Emancipation
Proclamation of President Lincoln were freed by
Col. Wu. B. Sipes, -of tbe Tth Pennsylvania Ca
valry, a oltlzen of Philadelphia. In September, 18SI,
Col Sipes was Military Governor of Covington and
Newport,|Ky.? The day on whloh the Emancipation
Proclamation was published In the telegraphic news
of 'tbe Cincinnati papers, three negroes, servants to
officers of the Rebel General Kirby Smith’s army,
then invading Kentuokyreieaped- Xrjom their
masters, and were brought, by the guards,
to Colonel Sipes. He at once Informed
them that they were .free by the ao
tlon of the President, gave them papers to that
effect, and sent an orderly to pass them over the
Ohio river. Col. Sipes was notified that his action
conflicted with the looal laws of Eentnoky, whloh
prohibited negroes, held In bondage, firom leaving
that State, unless under oortaln restrictions. He
replied tbat his aotlen was purely military—that he
was sworn to obey the orders of the President of the
United States; and that, as these negroes oame
clearly under the provisions of the proclamation, he
should liberate them and send them where they
could esjoy-thelr freedom.
>-The negroes thus released Atom bondage were of
more than ordinary intelligence, and appreciated
fully the great boon of liberty bestowed upon them.
A .Bold Attempt at Swindling ln (Jblca(o.
We note the following extracts Irom a.u account,
publishes In the Chicago Tribune, of the Bth, of a
bold attempt to swindle In that olty:
"About ten o’clook on Friday sight, a stout, port
ly man, with gray whiskers, of a rather dignified
aspeot, and wearing the nnltorm of a major general
in theUnlted States Army, dr ore to the private
residence of Dir. Henry Greenebaum, banker, at
tbe comer of’ Wood and Lincoln streets: He was
on .very pressing business, and sent la a eard on
which was the name "Major General' Hancock,
United States Army,” Mr. Greenebaum was at
the opera, but his brother, Mr David Greenebaum,
received the General'with due oonrtesy, and' escort ■
ed him tothe open house, where he introduced him
to bis brother.
Mr. Greenebhum asked his visitor what he could
do for him, when the General presented the follow
-log letter of Introduction, purporting to be from
Hon, Wm. B. Ogden, of Chicago:
Fbiday JEvkHiMO, Hay 5,180 b,
Heavy Greenebaum, Etq. ;
MyDbabSib: itake.pleasure in maklngyou ac
quainted with my friend, Major General w. s,
Hancock, of tbe United States army. The General
is on his way to St. Louis, in oonneotton with basl
nesB of his hew oorps. Ho wishes to aomplete some
banking business before he leaves In the morning,
and 1 have reoommendedyour house to him. I pre
sume you are acquainted with his lather-la law, Jay
Hooke, £sq., of Philadelphia. Any favor you may
see fit to do for him will be oonsldered as a personal
favor to me.
Your obedient servant, Wm. B. Oodbk.
Mr. Greenebaum, after having read 'the note,
again asked tbe supposed General what he wished.
The General replied that he wanted a loan of ten
thousand dollars, for immediate use, and offered to
give a draft, payable at sight, on Jay Cooke, of Phi
ladelphia. Mr. Greenebaum, thinking It was curl*
ous that Mr. Ogden, with whom he was'not in
the habit of doing business, shonWhave written
suoh a note instead of personally introducing the
General to him, beoame suspicious that the'let
ter was a forgery, and told the General that until
he waß sure that all was right he could not cash
his draft. The General acquiesced, and pro
posed to telegraph Immediately to Jay Oooke,
after appointing to meet Mr. Greenebaum In the
morning. He went te the office, and sent the fol
lowing despatch’:
To Jay Cooks, Banker: Ho. 1200 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia: Will ycru cash my sight draft, order
of Henry Greenbaum & Co, for ten thousand dol
lars, and answer Immediately to their earn 1
W. S. Hakoook.
Yesterday morning the following telegram, pur
porting to be from Jay Cooke, was received by Mr.
Greenbanm at his residence:
Hekby GbbskE4.uk & Co., Bankers : Yes, for
any amount he may require.
This was of course a bogus oonoootlon by the
General. He had succeeded Is obtaining one of tne
regular envelopes of too omce, ana tile transaction
appeared plausible enough.
Meanwhile Mr. Greenebanm had become satisfied
that the whole thing wasl a swindle. He had dis
covered, that Mr. Ogden was not la the city, and
that the supposed Major General Hanoook was cot
his gnest. After leaving the opera, Friday night,
he went to the polioe station, forthe purpose of no
tifying the superintendent, but found that Captain
Turtle and ali the detectives had left. He deter
mined however to sift the mystery to the bottom,
and to remain In the afty all night for that pnrpose.
Had he carried out his Intention there Is little doubt
bat he would'have Bnooeeded In oapiurlng the
swindler) but Mrs. Greenebaum, fearing that he
might get Into trouble, .dissuaded him.
fits purpose waB to draw therasoal Into the snare
by meeting him as appointed in the morning and
handing him over the money, having one of our
‘■Hawkehaws” seoreted In the bank ready to
pounce upon him; bat the scheme failed. Mr.
Greenebaum did not come Into the .xlty as early as
he Intended, and the General, who by that, time
probably began to scent danger in the wind, de
camped, nor has he been seen or heard of since.
In order to facilitate his swindling operations he
managed to Impose on one of the morning papers,
which, on Saturday morning, published In the local
column an announcement that Major Gen. W. S.
Hancock, his wife, and two memoers of his staff
had passed through the olty on their way to St.
Louis.
The Late Assassination.
Extract from a letter of Scretary Stanton to Mr.
Adams:
The murderer of the President has been disco
vered, and evidence obtained that these horrible
orlmeß were committed in execution of a conspira
cy deliberately planned and set on foot by rebels,
under pretence of avenging the South and aiding
the rebel cause; but it Is expected that the imme
diate perpetrators will be caught. The feeling oc
casioned by these atrocious crimes is so great, sud
den, and overwhelming, that I oannot at pre
sent do more than oommuhlOate them to you.
At the earliest moment yesterday the Pro
sident called a Cabinet meeting, at which
General Grant was present. He was more cheerful
and happy than I had ever seen him. He rejoiced
at the near prospect of firm and durable peace at
heme and abroad, whioh manifested In a marked
degree the soundness'and honesty of his disposition,
ana the tender and forgiving spirit that so eminent
ly distinguished him. Public advice had been given
that he and General Grant would be present at the
theatre, and the opportunity of adding the Lieute
nant General to the number of victims to .be mur
dered was no doubt seized for the fitting occasion of
executing the plans which appear to have been In
preparation for some weeks; but General Grant
was compelled to be absent, and thus escaped the
design upon him.
it is needless for me to say anything In regard to
the Influences which this atroolona murder of the
President may exercise upon the affairs of the aonn
try. But Iwill only add that, though horrible and
atrocious as are the plans that have been resolved
on byThe enemies or the country, they are not
likely, in any degree, to impair the public spirit, or
postpono the oomplete and final overthrow of the
rebellion.
In profound grief for the events which It has be
come my duty to communicate to you, I have the
honor to ue, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Edwin M. Stanton.
Letter from John M. Mason.
HE DENIES THAT THE ASSASSINATION WAS
PLANNED BY THE REBELS,
To the Editor of the London Index:
Sm: Time will develop the mystery as yet attend
ing the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, late Pre
sident of the United States, and the attempted as
sassination of Mr. Seward, his Secretary or State.
I desire only to repel at onoe the oalumnlous asser
tion Ol Edmln M. Stanton, the Secretary of - War,
In his letter to Mr. Adams, printed In the London
journals of this morning, that these acts were
“planned and set on foot by rebels, under
pretence of avenging the Sonth ana aiding
the rebel, cause,” and of which he says there
Is “ evidence obtained.” Mr. Stanton’s letter
Is dated on the 16th April, and states that Mr: Ltn
ooln was assassinated In the theatre at half past ton
the previous night, and died at twenty minutes past
seven on the morning of the day that he wrote. I
adduce this to show how unlikely it Is, In the hurried
excitement,and the necessary occupations attending
such events, that any but the wildest theories would
prevail In regard to the oanse of the event, or the
objects of the pepetrators. Mr. Stanton adopts that
whioh he deemed would be the most useful before
the public of bis country. Should the “evidence,” to
which he refers to support his calumny, ever see the
light. It will'be scanned with the experience derived
in regard to other evidence unscrupulously fabri
cated In the same quarter, during the present war,
for bBBe political effect. It Is the orndest concep
tion, too, that the mnrder of Abraham Llnaoln was
planned and executed for the purpose of “aiding
the rebel causebut I can well understand that it
' m ay have material Influence In aiding the cause of
that overpowering party in the United States, of
whioh Mr. Stanton Is the type, and Andrew John
son, who sueceeds as President, with Butler of the
notorious prefix, are the exponents and leaders—a
party In whose path the late President and his Sec
retary were acknowledged obstacles In their projeot
ed schemes of .plunder and rapine to follow their do
minion over the Sonthern States. For the rest, I
learn rrom a well-informed source in London, that
“ 'Wilkes Booth,” who Is acoused of the deed, is a son
of the celebrated English aotor of that name, was of
tlßfather’s profession, which he pursued principally
In the Northern States, and was generally understood
inheriting those traits significant Of his father's
name, Juntas Brutus Booth, by whom he was named
John Wilkes, alter the great English radical—an
origin and mental training little likely to engender
the slightest sympathy with the great cause of the
conservative South. As to tho crime whtoh has
been committed, none will view it with tbore abhor
rence than the people ,01 the South, but they will
know, as will equally all well-balanced minds, that
it is the necessary offspring of those scenes of blood
jbedtand mnrder in every form of unbridled lloense,
which have signalized the invasion of the South by
Northern armies, unrebuked oertalnly, and there
fore Instigated, by their leaders, and those over
the length of tbls note. I desired only In
stantly to repel the atrocious calumnies in the letter
of Mr. Stanton.
Very respeotfully, yours, J. M. Mason,

There was no Improvement at the Stock Board
yesterday, and for some descriptions of securities,
hitherto In urgent request, there Is positively no
sale. Government loans were weak, closing at a
decline. The 18818 sold at 110#, the 6-aos at lot#,
and the 10-40 S at 98. State and city loans were very
dull, and new olty fls declined #, selling at 93. There
was rather more Inquiry for oompany bonds, bnt at
no Improvement in prices. Oamden and Amboy 6s
of ! 83 sold at 90, and do. of ’7B at 89#; the mortgage
6s sold at 100. There were sales reported of Susque
hanna Canal es at 60, and Lehigh Valley 61 at 97.
a lot of Allegheny oonnty eoupon 6s brought 73
The railway share list was drooping. Beading sold
at 48, a deollne of Ai and Pennsylvania Batlroad at
64#, also a deollne of #; Oamqen and Amhoy sold
at 148, CatawUsa preferred at 45, and the eotnmon
Block at 11#, the latter being a deollne or X ; Le
high Valley Batlroad sold at 63. There was nothing
doing In city passenger railroad shares; 46 was hid
for Tenth and Eleventh, IS for Spruce and Pine, 42
for Chestnut and Walnut, and 80 for Green and

sion, and 60 for Wyoming Canal. A sale of Morris
Canal preferred was made at 140. The oil stocks
are exceedingly dull, and the whole list shows
a tail In prices. The condition of the oil stook
market Is that of extrome weakness, rather
than partaking of the character of a panic.
The market is at present an anomaly—sdfierlng
from severe depression at a time when, or all
others, the general aspect of the trade, and the
successful efiorts In progress In oil production, are
calculated to give It nnnenal life and buoyancy. It
oanngt be averred that the bnslnesß of oil produc
tion has been overdone, or that It Is Ukoly to prove
unprofitable. Nor yet Is there any failure in the
supply. On the other hand, although the produc
tion is Increasing and the exportß thns far are a half
less than last year, and bnt a fourth of those of 1B«3
to the same period, the markets of the country were
never so bare, while the consumption is destined, at
a very early day, to be lnrtber materially enhanced
by the opening of new aad extensive markets at
the Sonth.

Tkbasubt DurAUTMUNT,

Wachinotok, April 28,1865,
Sib: Tour Inqurlos of april mi,and2aa in re
gard to deduotlou for taxes are received.
I reply, that all Income taxes paid In 1861 are pro*
per deductions from lnoome of that year.
Assessments made by munloipal corporations for
the laying out or grading of streets, the construc
tion ol walks, sewers, &0., maybe deducted from
Income where they are laid upou all taxpayers
within the corporation; but II they are laid only
upon the owners of property supposed to be in
creased In value by the improvement, no deduction
can be allowed. All town and county taxes, inolud-
Ing taxes assessed for raising soldiers, may be de
ducted. Very respectfully,
E. A. Bollikb, Deputy Commissioner.
The extraordinary demand for the seven-thirties
strongly ouggests the question whether the Secre
tary or the Treasury may not, after the whole or the
present Issue la taken, put out so much as may be
required of the succeeding Issue at a lower rate of
Interest. The decline In gold has materially Im
proved the value of the seven-thirty bonds. With
gold at 135, the Interest Is worth In specie 5 40-109
per cent. Should the premium decline to 26, the
interest would then be worth, In gold, 5 81-100 per
cent. So that the seven-thirties are already ap
proximating very olosely in interest value to the six
per cent, bonds. Two months ago the interest was
worth only about 1 per cent. - In gold, and yet
they then found ready purchasers. Should gold
settle to about 120, and were the next Issue of bonds
reduced to six per oent. In eurrenoy, with the same
privilege of conversion as attaches to the present
issue, the gold value of the Interest would be 162-100
per cent.; a rate at whloh the Treasury would find
ready subscribers, considering the dally Improving
credit of the Government, and the limited amount
that wonld require to be Issued.
On the 12th of July a commercial convention Is to
assemble In the city of Detroit, Michigan, It is
stated that over thirty Influential associations, such
as boards of trade and chambers of commerce,
have accepted Invitations to take part In discussions
relating to the trade and oommeroe of the Northern
and western States. The British Frovlnoes will be
duly represented, and then eould be no more fit
place In which to propose a plan for anew and more
perfect treaty for reciprocal trade In place of the
pnsent treaty, whloh will terminate In twelve
months. Since 1860 Canada has taken from ns
$110,709,613 of free prodhoe, and $125,658,431 of du'
tlable goods. We have taken from tbenoe $155,.
407,056 of free prodnoe, and $26,012,383 of dutiable
goodß. Thus in the time mentioned we have sent
$245,358,077 In free and dutiable merchandise to
Canada, and taken $182,310,439 In return, the bal
ance, $63,088,638, being paid ns In cash, or foreign
exchange. It Is to be hoped that before the time ar
rives for the abrogation of the treaty a new one will
be made on equitable principles for the mutual
benefit of the contracting parties. This subject will
be a prominent mattor for debate and consideration
at the forthcoming convention at Detroit In July.

The New York Post of yesterday says:
The depression in the gold and stock markets
seems this morning to have struck its lowest point*
and a reactionary upward movement has Bet in,
attended for the moment by considerable animation
and spasmodic activity. The loan market Is easy
and the scpply of capital Is ample at 6@6 per oeat.
The apprehensions that stringency will be pro*
dvoeti dv the unprecedented subscriptions (p the
Beven-thirtlfcS have been revived this morning with
someefleci, but they seem to have lost much of
their foroe, and are believed to be without founda
tion.
The stook market opened feverish, and the excite
ment soon developed into a temporary panic* which
was followed by a reaotlon, bat not until a large
number of the holders of seoorltiea had sold out at a
heavy sacrifice. Governments were irregular. Old
five-twenties declined to 104&@104&. Ten forties,
sew flve.twentles, and sixes of 1881 are less da*
pressed* Railroad shares have been unusually ao
live at widely fluctuating jates. The bears an
availing themselves of the tarn In pricer, and an
reported to have bought heavily to cover some of
their more pressing contracts.
Before the first session the market was feverish
and irregular. New York Central was quoted at
82, Erie at 75&, Hudson River at 101#, Reading at
94, Michigan southern at 64#.
The following quotations were made at the Board*
as compared with yesterday:
