The President’* Policy The following reply of President Johnson to a Massachusetts delegation, will give our read er* an idea of hie policy: r \ __ Gectlehen ■. I feel myself at; this hour in competent to make a reply suitable to the emotions that fill my heart and perhaps the best reply 1 could make, would he silence. I feel overwhelmed by the recent tragic oc currence and the circumstances Which surround us. Thrown into this position , unexpectedly and nnder such extraordinary tragical circum stances, filling the country witj sorrow and draping the land’in black, I to make a response to the sentiments and kind offer yon hare made on this occasion ; and as some reference has been made td the Union and the preservation of these States, all that 1 can say on this subject .now is, that in refer ence to public policy generally. ntj[ course has been and is known to the people,! especially that part which pertains to tbif['. infamous re bellion, which has been waged upot 'the Govern ment for the last four years, my. coarse and policy is known to all. There is no one, as I tf ink, who has labored more zealously and ardently thin I have to crush and suppress this diabolical rebellion; and" ib reference to that and dy future policy generally, I must invite .you ICt a. retrospection of my past conrse of action, and when yon have accomplished that, I roqstf he permited to offer it to yon as’ some indication -of what my future policy will he. If my past develop ed as" it has been, in nj> indication or guaranty as what my future' course will he, my profess ions are empty and will be' also,;worthless. ■- All I can say is that the same principle that have governed me thus tar-in this Re bellion will be my guide in the future, [Ap plause.] - It has been intimated to me by . some, fur whose judgment and good opinion I have the highest respect, that I should issue some sort of s manifesto as to what my pourae or public policy, will he. To this I sayi I must let all such rely upon any docutnen' » or papers or messages to be made as event ..transpire, and and the action to be made-a'lon them to de pend upon the nature of the occasions that may arise is, there anyone vKo .could,four years ago, have anticipated or save’a of action consequent upon the etenta of that period ? Suppose any one £ad, possessed sufficient prescience of the future to have con ceived and written down all tlm'great events of that time and presented it,- whf is there who would have accepted it with' belief, and not rather have placed it with ;)be “ Arabian Nights,” and considered it aa mors incred ible than the story ef “ Aladdirf?” . Is the future now any easier to preconceive ? How incompetent, then, must I be to prescribe the precise policy that I may consider advisable hereafter I lam free to say however, that I think the tiqae has, and I say it in no spirit of anger or revengfV or retaliation, growing out oPfhe reoent sad'catastrophe that has placed this country froii jme end to the other, in the habiliments of .mourning but in view of principle and justictj that the people most be taught to understand what is treason. [Suppressed applause.] The American people have to some extent been taught to understand what ia crime. The crime of burglary is de fined in the statutes and understood by the peo ple. So is morder 1 so are prsoo, robbery, and other criminal offences; 'and to all these there are certain penalties attached, and as a general thing they gre faithfully executed. There is obedience of all to the law and the Constitution, and we say it is just and right that the law should be administered as it is. Now, if I should put,the question to this intelligent con gregation of gentlemen to dayv'wbat is to be done with such a one who basjbeea gnility of the crime of murder, say,?' Ijfeel assured Jbat the. unanimous reply would he that the penalty should be accorded to him—*tbat of-death. If that be so in the csse.qf an individual, without regard to other circumstances, apd when we say that the penalty of death is not too severe, what shall we say. When the person who has been murdered is the; exalted head of the nation, the Chief Magistrate ? Then if we examine what the crime bf -}rOoson is, and ask ourselves what should be dohe with an individ ual who would undertake tCTaseassinate 'a na tion—thirty millions of he that would not immediately assign the pena\ty of deatb to the puility’criminal? [Applause,] It ie time the American people- Should be taught to understand that treason “s a crime—not in revenge, not in anger, but that treason is a crime, and should be as snob and pun ished as such. [“ Good 1 good!” and applause.] And here I desire to say that while such are tnyviews I wish to discriminate between crim inals gqilty of treason. * There are well educat ed, intelligent traitors, wbj concert schemes of treason and urge others, aodforoe numbers of otbeis £ of ignorant and deleted people to carry them but. A discrimina'tioo sf.ould be exercised between these people. The hr etioold be a firm inflexible justice nieted .on’JVKo the intelligent but guillty traitor, and leniency and meroy to those who have been misguided, deluded, and deceived,! Then, gentlemen, permit tie to say that the kind words of encouragement and countenance you have extended towards 1 age come'at an op portune hour, and are peculiarly acceptable to me entering upon, duties that requrie all the . wisdom and energy I can impart to them-. To’ have your confidence and - assurance of your support in tbe faithful andr-honeet discharge of public duties, though I mVjht be a coward, would have a tendency to i> spirit me and make mje a brave roan. And, geiflemen, I wish you to be pleased to accept my >,ieattfelt and grate ful acknowledgements for the proffer of assis tance that tbe noble Stpb of Massachusetts through yon baa tendered tie; and permit me to say.that while conscious Cf my own demerits, and & consciousness that* ahuiot endowed with tbe high order of intelligence that acme others wight, perhaps, bring tf- the discharge of the honorable and important trust confided to me, tbe country shall not fill-to have my honest and most earnest effortl, and the impulses of a sincere heart,-in the accomplishment of the task I may be called upon; to perform ; and if I know myself, I will say here, my whole life shall be directed towards preserving the Union, and making it in the proper and fullest sense of the term, permanently tfree, Then, gentle : men, I repeat my profound thanks for the encouragement you have given me, and the aid yon have offered me on the present occasion. The investigation into ih<i origin and history of the Knights of the Golde; .

WEDNESDAY, Shfbmxn’s mistaken truce and negooiation with Johnston having been set aside by the President, Johnston has surrendered upon the terms granted to Lee. This disarms all the rebel forces east of the Mississippi, and closes the eyes of armed rebellion. No details of the surrender have reached us. The war ie prac tically ended. Thank Heaven! Booth, the assassin, has met his doom. It is at well as it it. He no longer pollutes the ait with his breath..

In the morning men should awake refreshed and vigorous, both iu body and will; and with minds resolved upon a still more conscientious . discharge 1 of duty than ever; for that is an un profitable' life which does not bear evidence of measurable improvement as the days go by. This nation is just awaking at the break of a better day. True, the dawn has been prece ded by a long, gloomy night of anxiety and peril; hut the republic is waking as a young giant, refereahed, though scarred, stronger for the trial by battle it has endured, and with sharpened and purified instincts from four years of contact with barbarism. The people must now afford to be just to ward themselves. Prior to this war they had not, as a rule, acted' the part of wisdom and foresight in their capacity as rulers of them selves. They bad suffered the baliotbox to de generate into an agent of demagogueiem ; and what was known and lauded as the* privilege of self-government, was but the intangible shadow of that privilege. For a privilege be .comes an abase when it ie exercised without special reference to the responsibilities attach ed to its exercise. We had fallen into the evil habit of bestowing place as a reward for real or fancied service, without reference to special fitness or aptitude. This praoticegave us'euoh rnlers as Polk, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and their creatures and imitators. It was the incubation of treason, the precursor of that era of civil violenee now, as all good men hope, about to pass away. And now the nation is awaking on the mor ning of a-hrighter day, - not exhausted, hot in vigorates—as a man’s muscles are strengthened by exercise, hie mind by thought,' and his soul by trial. So, as a right-minded man begins eaeh succeeding day with endeavors to amend what was erroneous and false in bis Yesterday, let ns as a people begin this new day by steps reformatory in the solemn exercise of our priv ileges. 'And first, suffrage: How has the right been exercised hitherto f Not uniformly with the intention to secure tbe greatest good to tbe greatest number ; nor to put the right man in the right place. We desire to direct pnblio attention to cer tain undeniable facts; We have, as a people, trifled with the well-being of society through the' ballot-box. It has been 'the practice to select men for plafh by reason of availability, or 'locality, ok other unworthy reason. And e false estimate has been put upon the import ance of certain places of pnblio trust, so that incompetent men have been put in places.that were of great .importance, though underrated. Now the troth is,—there is no office in tbe popular gift which is not of consequence. Of great consequence, too. There is no elective local office so humble that men should say of it—" Oh, anybody can fill that position 1" It is not true that any man can creditably fill the humblest office. Not every man is fit for a vil lage constable. Some men are fit for such a position; they have a natural talent for it; and it is as important that that office be properly filled as that tbe right 'man should sit in the Executive Chair, or represent the people in the Legislature, or in Congress. Unless the right men are in the right places, from tbe humblest up to the highest, there will be ajar in the ma chinery of civil government. Have we created an office of no ooneeqoenoe to successful working of the machine T If so, abolish it at once. We repeat—every necessa ry office is important and must be filled with regard to ita bearing upon the welfare of the people. «• Anybody” cannot fill this, or that office. There may be a dozen, or twenty-five, within the jurisdiction of ai» office, either’ of whom is competent to discharge its duties with credit. The safety of the country requires it to be given to one of those competent men, not to " eny other man" whose preferment will increaee some ambitious man's chances for preferment. Until this is made the rule, tbe people will be indifferently served and wofully misruled somewhere. The question of power is now disposed of. The government has proved strong enough to put down treason at home and compel the re spect of the world. As in the natural and in evitable order, we now enter the era where Fi nance will furnish the subject of controversy. In view of heavy indebtedness, national and local, the question must present varied aspects. It -will require the best financial talent in the country to handle the practical question. And the best talent most be employed or disaster wifi ensue. Positions lightly valued in times of non-indebtedness, are now become of vary great importance, requiring first-rate financial ability and experience for the proper discharge of thlir duties. Wo have boon told that men THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. of this order of talent will not take these posi tions. We think differently. If the people demand their services they are bound, as good citizens, to come forward. In one sense the in-, terests of such men are more largely involved than those of any other class. They should be brought forward in every county in the State. In a business sense they will serve almost gra toitonsly. So much the better.- The gratitude of the people is richer hire than cash. Will the people ponder these things, and not only coincide with the theory but resolve to re duce it to practice ? We shall return to the subject again. MAY 3, 1865, Rejoice, oh ye people I for treason—yea, sympathy with treason —is. becoming unpopu lar ; and if the manifest signs he true, the day is approaching when a traitor eha.ll be regard ed as great a criminal as a mao who robs a warehouse, and be who gives aid and comfort to, or apologizes for, treason, shall be held to be as great an offender against the peace and security of society as the receiver of stolen goods. These reflections occurred to ue on reading the account of the arrest of one Edward In gereoll, of Philadelphia, which was in tbit wise: Mr. Ingersoli last week delivered a rabid Secession speech in New York. When he stepped off the oars at the depot in Phila delphia op bis return, be was waited on by a deputation of citizens and requested to apolo gize. He politely told them to go to . Be then drew and cooked his revolver, when be was promptly disarmed and taken before a magistrate, who committed him to answer for an assault with intent to kill, and carrying concealed weapons. He applied for bail to several persons, but nobody would come for ward in bis behalf. So the traitor went to jail. In the afternoon his brother, Charles Inger soll, went to visit him; but on leaving hie car riage he was set upon by an indignant crowd and severely beaten. He'was rescued by the polios and conducted home. Much as these exhibitions of popular vio lence are to be deplored on ordinary occasions, we hold to the opinion that tßen Edward In getsoll insulted n deputation of his fellow-citi zens, and then drew a pistol, he might have been hung on the nearest lamp post without offending the majesty of justice. The crime of which be was guilty rendered the catrying of concealed weapons a menace not tp be en dured. But neither Charles nor Edward Ingar soil, or any of their traitorous clan, have any rightto complain of their punishments They have, from the first, justified the South in ma« king war upon low and order, without proyoc ation. The people of Philadelphia have given them a practical and personal illustration of their pernicious teachings. And sinhe they have most strenuously insisted that the govern ment hugbt not to resist .the attempt of rebels, so are estopped from complaint of this in vasion ! of the liberty of the citizen. They have preached submission to violence ; now let them praotics it. JOHNSTON SCRRENDEBB THE EAST REBEL ABUT! THE WAR PRACTICALLY ENDED. Major-Qtsn. ,Dlx; A dispatch from Gen.

JohnsonVimmediate command is supposed to be r Infantry, 25,000 men; Cavalry, 10,000 men ; t0ta1,35,000 men. Washington, Monday, April 2i, 1865, This Department has information that the President's murder was organised In Canada and approved at Richmond. One of the assassins, now in prison, who attempted to kill Mr. Seward, is believed to be one of tbe St. Albans raiders. EnwiN M. Secretary of War, BOOTH, THE ASSASSIN SHOT! Tbe following account of the shooting of the assassin Booth, is from a special despatch to the Tribune .- Washington, Thursday, April 27,1865. We have just received from the lips of Sergt. Boston Corbett, of Co. L, 16th New-York Caval ry, the fall particulars of his capture of Booth, and the oircnmstances which compelled him to shoot him. Corbett resides in New York in Attorney-**., next door to the Protestant M. E. ofanroh, of which he ie a member. Bis regiment has been stationed at Vienna, and been more or less en gaged in the pursuit of Booth and different persons suspected of being connected with the gang of assassins. The regiment were in the city, and did guard and escort duty on the occasion of the Presi dent’s funeral. A detachment of 26 men, onder command of Lient. Doherty, with two of Col. Baker’s detec tives, vis; Lieut-Gol. Conger and Lieut. Baker, both late of Baker’s District of Columbia Gavel- ‘ ry, proceeded to Port Royal in pursuit of Booth and Harrold, they having received trustworthy information of their whereabouts from the ne groes, and some confirmatory information from certain paroled Confederate soldiers. They crossed the Rappahannock in a scow ferry-boat at Port Royal'on Tuesday night, and had proceeded about three miles beyond that place when they asoertained that Booth was secreted upon the place of Henry Garrett, Mr. G. was called out, and stated he had been there, bat had been notified by Rebel cavalry that our cavalry were crossing the river and that he must leave and secrete himself. Mr. G. seemed to give all the information he could, and his son, who accompanied the party here, was especially active in helping ferret him out! He was supposed toJmve Aid to the woods, but upon approaching the barn he was discov ered secreted therein. When challenged to coma oat and surrender. [official] Washington, p. 0., April 28, 1865, he, in a very wild and excited tone, demanded to know who they supposed him to be, and by what authority : desiring to know of whet crime he was charged, and evincing the greatest ex citement, and talking very incoherently. The officers demanded that he should come forth and give himself up. He refused to do so, aod threatened to shoot whoever- should approach. He said be was alone there, hut would never surrender. Coibett was stationed at a corner of the barn, where there was a board off and where be was particularly exposed to Booth’s fire; he ex pressed a desire to go in and try and secure him, saying he was willing to venture hie life in the encounter, and had mneb rather go in and attack him, than to - stand in bis exposed position; but it was so evident that Booth meant to sell his life as dearly os possible, that Lieut. Doherty would not permit him to enter. The officers then gave Booth five minutes to surrender, or elap the born would be .fired.— Nearly a half hour was consumed in the parley, however, when fire was set to the barn. Burin;: the progress of the flumes Booth was seen by Corbett aiming his Spencer carbine at one of the men. Corbett, who is a deeply religious man, says he prayed fervently for Booth, and thSt God would have mercy upon his tool: and feeling that he was justified in shooting him to prevent the possible loss of the life of another innocent man. approached the crack in the barn, leveled hig revolver and fired. His shot, by a strange coincidence, entered bis head in almost precisely the same spot that President Lincoln Wsshot; the ball, however, passed through and out of the upper part of his neck on tbs opposite side. Booth instantly toll, and his carbine dropped heavily with him ; ha was standing at the time supported by a crutch ; bis body was instantly removed from the burning barn; this wasjust at daybreak yesterday, sod he lived till.about 7 o’clock. Booth’s confederate and companion, Hat told, came out of the burn at the first in an excited state of fright, and professed contrition, with his arms upraised- He also audibly besought Booth to surrender, without avail however. Booth, before he died, wag apparently ration al, but talking! at random and contradicted himself as he bad done throughout, and be said: “ Tall my mother 1 have died for my country. You, gentlemen, have spoiled my fan in Mexico.” He seemed conscious of near approach of death, but died as frivolously and hardened as he bad lived. Hie body was fully identified by hie initials on bis hand in India ink, his memorandum books and other papers, and bf 5 the personal recognition before and after death of the det ective officers who knew him. Hie leg was broken. Harrold says by hie spur catching in the flag festooning the 1 President’s box, und trip ping in his leap upon the stage. He suffered excruciating pain from this wound, the splin tered eud of the bone piercing the flesh. Booth wanted to know where they would take him if he would give up. He was in formed by the detectives that he must make an unconditional surrender. Ha is said to have showered imprecations upon bis confederates, who he said had prom ised to stand by him, hot bad deserted him. To the loyal negroes are our officers indebted for the traces which led to Booth’s capture. It is said conclusive evidence is adduced showing the whole plot to hava originated in the order called “ Knights of this Golden Circle/’ DIES. In East Charleston, on the l!th ult., GEO.
