I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT
EBENSBURG, PA THURSDAY, JUNE
Tiie Assassination of Abraham
. -JLlncoln.
... The following letter from the accurate
and well-known Washington correspon
dent of the Cincinnati' Gazette reads like
romance, bjat we are afraid is history. . To
those who are acquainted .with thq. per
sonages aud localities spoken of, there. is
a verisimilitude that could hardly be
produced by a fabricated story, no matter
how carefully gotten up. We'truat these
developments will at least stimulate re
newed inquiry and investigation. If thero
is one thing the country wants to know
the whole truth about, it is'. the story of
the great assassination:. ,' V
Washington, May 28. The investi
gations which have-been in progress for a
year past have reached a point where they
open up some new and startling, chapters
in the 6tory ot that great mystery the
assassination.
"More than one hundred people are in
this thing," were the words of one of the
conspirators, as he swung o2 into eternity
words thus sent back from the confines
of another world, as if to urge upon the
living a full solution of the tragedy.
"This is a subject far toa grave and
startling for a word of sensational writing.
A mere statement of the character of tbis
additional evidence forms in itself one of
the strongest, if not altogether the strong
est, chapter in the solemn history.
To be brief, then, and concise, the
proper authorities are soon to be placed
in possession of evidence to the following
effect :
THE ASSASSINATION PLANNED FOR INAU
GURATION DAY.
Spies in the Lodges of the Knights of
the trolden Circle had revealed the fact
that there was a plot to murder Mr. Lin
coln during the inauguration exercises of
Alarcn, lbbo. Every precaution was
taken to baffle the conspirators, though no
clue had been obtained as to who these
were.
Wilkes Booth was in Washington nt
toe time. Having known Mr. Johnson in
Nashville, he called upon him the day
alter Mr. Johnson s arrival here. During
the exercises arthe Capitol, Boothwas in
me Duncans.
So certain were the authorities ttiat an
attempt to kill Mr. Lincoln -s-ta b
made, that every avenue within the build
noi DJ which an assassin could escape,
was carefully guarded. Booth's own ob
servation of tho situation may have' de
terred him from the act in contemplation.
From November 9 to February 28,
Booth was in Washington seven times, the
periods of his absence varying from two
to ten days each. On the 1st of March,
leoo, ne arrived again, and upon the
three succeeding days was called at eight
A. M., by his own express orders,
BOOTH AT NASriVILLE.
After the Republican party had nomi
nated its ticket, Booth passed some time
in Nashville. There he was well acquain
ted with Mr. Johnson. Booth had mis
tresses there, and these mistresses were
said to be 6isters. Booth was also well
acquainted with Mr. Browning, the private
secretary of the Vice President.
BETRAYING THE PARTY.
There is abundant evidence that from
the first it was Mr. Johnson's settled
determination to betray the Republican
party. Prominent rebels seem to have
understood his terrific anathemas against
traitors and treason as simple blinds.
Certainly subsequent events furnish no
other satisfactory explanation.
At Cincinnati, when on his way to
Washington, he expressed himself deci
dedly that if tho country was to be saved
at all, it could only be saved through the
reorganization of the Democratic party.
A few weeks before the assassination,
he declared with an oath to a friend, thai
if he was ever President he would crnsh
out all Yankee influence from the Gov
ernment. Soon after the 'assassination,
meeting the same friend, he said : "Do
you recolleot what I told you when we
met last ? Well, I am President now. and
this Yankee influence shall be crushed
put. , lhese remarks are pertinent as
showing that from the first the purpose
was to betray his party. It is by no
means all the evidence upoa which this
charge rests. '
BROWNING ANI ELECTION RETURNS.
The private secretary above referred to
was talking to a friend when the returns
of the Presidential election were coming
in. - Enough had been received to make
the result turn on Indiana. When the
despatch came, showing that the State had
gone Republican, Browning's exclamation
was: Well, old Lincoln is good for; a
second term, and if he dies, we have got
just a3 good a man to - put in his place."
Un several occasions, wnen intoxicated.
after bis arrival in Washington, and when
discussing political matters, he exclaimed :
"Well, wait till Mr. Johnson is President;
he will show vou Yankee Abolitionist
how to manage things." Browning and
Booth, saw each other frequently, and were
intimate. " , .
BOOTH'S COMMUNICATIONS "WITH 'RICH-'
;..,' ;.,MONiy. -1 '-
Booth made several trirW Dctween,WasH-
lngton and Canada. On one occasion.
while in this city; he received a package
THAN PRESIDENT. Hisey Cut.
of documents from Canada. r One of these
wasrr Mr. Johnson. This, Booth de
liveti. Subsequently, he received au
ansvj o it, and this, it is said, he de
spatched to Richmond, and its character,
if known, has not been allowed to transpire.
MOVEMENTS AT THE KIRKWOOD HOUSE.
Ir-will be remembered that the Vice
President boarded at the Kirkwood House,
and that Atzerott, who it was alleged was
to kill him, had a room at the same hotel.
.Early in the evening of April 14, Mr.
Johneon sent word to the office that he
could not be seen by any one for any
purpose whatever. . So particular was he
abouMbe maitej, a afterward to go him
self lo see whether the order was fuily
understood-:- In . the afternoon, as is
known, Booth called. and left his card. .....
. It ia now said that .Mr. . Johnson saw
Booth after that card was put in hia box.
The pistol and knife "found in Atzerott's
bed were put there by. Booth, according
to .statement made by Atzerott while
being taken to the gallows. Atzerott's
connection with the conspiracy seems to
be reduced nearly to what he declared it
to be in his confession, namely : That he
had been a party to the first project of
kidnapping, but had positively refused to
have anything to do with the subsequent
plot to assassinate, and that he had no
desire tcr kill Mr. Johnson; and further
that he could have done so after Booth
had shot Mr. Lincoln, as he saw Mr.
Johnson on one or two occasions later in
the evening. He was probably a party
so far as to aid in creating the impression
that it was part of the plan to kill the
v ice jrreaiGent.
AT THE ARSENAL.
A jstrange thing connected with the
imprisonment of the conspirators at the
Arsenal was that the attendants were most
strictly charged to hold no communication
whatever with the prisoners, and especially
to ask no questions. One of the attend
ants says the caution was in the form of
an oath, and that copies of it are in exis
tence, and will be produced. Payne, it is
said, made a written confession, but no
trace of this paper can now be found.
All the prisoners expected to be reprieved
up to the very moment they were swung
off, and when the order of execution was
taken in to be read, some of -them were
in great glee, supposing the reprieve had
certainly come. There are grave reasons
for supposing that some of the prisoners
believed reprieve and final pardon to be
elements in the plot.
THE TRIAL.
Those familiar with the trial will , not
fail to remember that on several occasions
efforts were made by the defence to intro
duce statements and confessions made by
several of the prisoners to their attendants.
and also to introduce some declarations of
Booth's, made subsequent to the assassin
ation, as evidence. The authorities now
have a partial knowledge of the nature of
these statements, and the bearing of them
can be more readily seen at this time. It
was understood and believed at the time
of the trial that there were about one
hundred armed men in" Washington on
the night of April 14, in the interest of
the assassins. It seems strange that no
attempt was made to learc who any of
these parties were, or that no reward was
offered for their apprehension.
It is also known that one of the prose
cutors on the trial felt convinced, at the
time of the trial, that personages connec
ted with the Government, and those be
yond suspicion in the minds of most, had
some previous knowledge of the attempt
to murder Mr. Lincoln.
. The delay of two months in taking any
steps to arrest Surratt, -after his where
abouts were known and an offer had been
made to deliver him up, is, to say the
least, suspicious.
WIDE-SPREAD KNOWLEDGE OP THE PLOT.
One of the . most singular matters
brought to light by the investigation is
the fact that not only was the plot known
in distant parts of the country, but that it
was understood who were to be the vic
tims. There is much evidence going to
substantiate the supposition that, there
was no intention of taking Mr. Johnson's
-life, and that all. the movements around
the Kirkwood House were simply made
to mislead. The following will suffice as
specimens of this kind of evidence:
At a town in Minnesota, at five o'clock
in the afternoon of April 14, a citizen sta
ted to his friends that Mr. Lincoln and
Secretary Seward had been assassinated.
At twelve o'clock, noon, of April 14, in
another town in Minnesota, several citi
zens came to the postmaster to inquire
whether any news had been received of
the assassination of Mr. Lincoln and Sec
retary Seward. In neither case was the
name of the Vice President mentioned.
The statement of Harrold at midnight,
after the assassination, when, with Booth,
be stopped at Lloyd s tavern, at ourratt-
ville, as it appears in the evidence taken
upon , the trial, was this : "WeM, I am
pretty certain that we have assassinated
the President and Mr. Seward." Fleeing
as they did, instantly after the shot fired
in the theatre, how could they have known
that the plot had failed so far as Mr.
Johnson was concerned, provided there
was any intention to kill him ? !
iesiaes tnese, ;tnere is eyiqence to tne
6ajpae effect,' from portions of the country
widely ' separated from' those mentioned
above? where a knowledge of the faot that
13, 1867.
Mr.; Lincoln and Secretary Sewardwere
to be assassinated was in the posssssioof
quite a number of persons. ...
: Some cirsumstances connected with the
hasty execution of the conspirators, as if
there was an anxiety to get them under
ground at the earliest moment, have exci
ted attention and inquiry. ,:
In conclusion, it may be said that the
above presents & fair statement of the kind
of matter which, so far as it has not been
already done, will, in due time, be pre
sented to the proper persons to receive
the same. It is believed to be but a small
portion of similar matter in the hands of
those who are using it to remove the
mystery of the great conspiracy.
The Will sky Trafflc.;
; The following act relating to the whis
ky traffic was passed by the last Legisla
ture, and was approved by the Governor
on tho 17th April, and therefore is now a
law. It is , entitled "An act to enable

Street Life in larls. ,
A correspondent writes from Paris as:
follows: "The streets of this capital' of
fashion and pleasure are alive with people.
There is not the dull, heavy, constant
roaring of London ;. there is wanting the
heavy traffic of New York, but light ve
hicles roll along 'by the thousand. It
requires twenty thousand cabs to do the
light riding of this people. . Riding is so
cheap that you cannot afford to walk.
Thirty cents will carry you anywhere
inside of the city walls in a cab. But
cheaper than the cabs are the omnibuses
not running belter skelter, but under a
system all owned by one Company, with
some six hundred omnibuses and seven
thousand horses,- carrying eighty million
passengers per annum. The east and
west line3 intersect with thoser running r
north and south, so that you can reach ,
almost any section of the great city for six
cents.
"Stand anywhere you please, and watctl
the never ceasing fide of life sweep by.
Omnibuses always full, cabs jogging at'd
