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.

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.. The Government has the
olne to the conspiracy, and every conspirator
will be brought to justice.

Uff THE MOHHTITG.
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.

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/’
