Conscripts In a bad fix—Men Discharged
from a Camp Entirely Naked.
(Tram tho Oiwego Palladium, April 27.)
Twenty-one conscripts, from the town of
Pariaa, who had been in Fort Ontario nearly
two months, were this morning discharged
from service, and stripped of clothing, at the
Provost Marshal'* office in this city. The
a*o, with one exception, were without mon
ey ; had sent home their clothing when they
anterod the eorvice, and were unable to get
anything wherewithal to cover themselves—
They were literally discharged from the
aervic* in tbe condition in which they came
vuto the world. One of the party had suffi
cient money to buy three suits of old clothes
and tbe three fortunates went out to beg or
borrow something to cover their comrades.—
Tbey succeeded in getting together some eld
rags, and the poor fellows have started for
their heme*, forty miles away. The men
have never received any money since they
have been in the service, and some of them
are'eotirely destitute. We call this pretty
hard usage.
Hew Booth's Body was Disposed of—The
Mystery Cleared up.
[Wash .Cor. Boston Advertiser,]
The vexed question as to the disposal
made of the remains of John Wilkes Booth is
at length settled by a statement which may
ha regarded as final. After the head and
haart, which have been deposited in the ar
■y medical museum in Washington and been
pmoved, tbe corpse was placed in charge of
two men, why after various manoeuvres cal
culated to baffle impertineat curiosity, dug
a grav# in a little spot of ground close to the
penitentiary, where for some years felons
have been buried. Booth's body was depos
ited here, and the earth over it was smooth
ed and carefully sodded over. The other
graves of lea* infamous felons had previously
bean leveled, and a strong guard is now in
aharge of the spot, and will continue to keep
it undisturbed until the grass has grown so
thickly that no one will ever be ablo to dis
tinguish tbe piece where the assassin's corpse
was interred from the other nameless graves
rennd it.
[From th Boston Transcript.]
How this correspondent obtained the in
formation, exclusively, when such pains have
bean taken to keep the whole matters secret
does not appear. The Washington Republi
can says that Col. Baker and his brother.
Lieut. Baker, are the only two persons liv
ing who know what disposition was made of
it, and tbey are onder oath to reveal the
flaet to no human being. Any statement
professing to detail how or where the re
mains war* deposited, adds the Republican
is not only guess work but a serious reflec
tion upon tbe faithfulness of Colonel Baker
and bis bi other.

Editor of N. B. Democrat:
RECONSTRUCTION.
At this moment, when the rebellion it
rapidly wanirg. and tbe question of the poli
cy to be pursued In the restoration of the
seceded states to their furmer status in the
Union Is absorbing the public tnind, and
while a vast majority of the men composing
the party In power are|clamoring, under the
plea of justice, for a vindictive and bloody
policy towards the leading secessionists, there
is one consideration that we are bound by
the moat aacred obligation to keep in view j
and yet, one that as yet we have scarcely
seen noticed. In all controversies there are
two aides ; and Justice considers both, with
a strict and equal impartiality. When the
victor in such a struggle,as this through
which the country has just passed, assumes
to administer justice upon hs defeated an
tagonist, he needs to be very sure of his ca
pacity to consider well and fairly, not merely
the offence, but the provocation and circum
stances which led to it. Of course, we shall
be told that it is "disloyal" to assume that
there was anyjprovocation that led to seces
sion. This is an old dodge. Our reply is
that it is never disloyal to be just. Of course
no man, at least, no northern man claims
that there was such provocation as justified
secession, but all sane men of all parties
ought to know that impartial history will
find much to mitigate and palliate the enor
mity of the great wrong to the country that
was attempted by the*people of the so-called
seceded slates. In dealing with this ques
tion we are bound to cousider, 1, The of
fence ; 2, The provocation and circumstan
ces that led to its perpetration.
The offense (by whatsoever name we may
choose to characterize it) was nothing more
nor less than-an attempted division of the
Union into two separate and independent
governments. Interested parties may at
tempt to gloss it over upon the one hand, or
distort it upon the other, but it comes to
this at last ; and in this light is justice bound
to /iew it.
All Northern men, except certain of the
radical leaders in agree that fir
such an attempt there is no warrant in the
qonstitutiou, and that it was therefore a very
great political offence. The Southern people
sought to accomplish this ofTence peacefully,
but with a consciousness that war and all
its attendant horrors might ensue. Such
was their offence.
2. We come now to the question why the
people of the South desired and attempted
this division of the Union.
A few plain historical facts will answer
this question,
Ist. A feeling of strong and bttter section
al hostility had been growing up between the
two sections of the union ever since the anti
slavery agitation at tbe north first drew this
question into the Federal politics. The di
reet issue thus raised between the two peo
pies was whether, under our system of gov
ernment, this was legitimately of state, or of
national politics. The south claimed that it
was purely a question of local, or state poli
tics ; and in this they were unquestionably
right. But the agitation still continued at
tbe National capitol, and throughout the
North, where the institution that formed its
subject had no existence. Now, what North
ern man can feel sure tha* the aeressive at
titude of the North, with reference to this
subject would not have been exceedingly of
fensive to himself had hit lot been cast in
the South? That it was so to the southern
people is a fact that should not now be for
gotten—offensive Dot only t0 th oß ® who had
a special interest in the institution assailed,
bat especially so to those who, having no
such interest, recognized in this northern at
titude a denial of their right to control their
own domestic institutions. No reasonabl
man will hesitate to reflect as to what would
be his own feelings under just these circum
stances. The Fathers of tbe Republic did so
reflect, and pointed out with strong empha
sis the consequences that would inevitably
follow a wanton disregard of them.
2nd. When the leading secessionists were
preparing to take their fatal leap they knew
that the leading organ of the party then in
power, the New York Tribune, seconded by
some less influential papers in the North,
was then advocating with earnest zeal and
dangerous sophistry, the right of secession.
They knew that the then recently elected
President had himself, years before, upon the
floor of Congress, given emphatic expression
to a substantially s milar doctrine. They
knew that Senators Ilale, Seward and Chase
—leading and controlling spirits in the same
party—had presented and seconded a peti
tion to Congress praying for a dissolution of
the Union. They knew that the leading
northern agitators, of the Wendell Phillips,
Theodore Parker, Gerritt Smith, Horace
Greeley and H. W. Beecher school were
strongly in favor of a pcactfnl division of
the Union between the two sections. They
knew that the party of which these organs
and these men were the loaders was then
about to come into the control of the govern
tnenf. Knowing all this, and thus justified
in advance by leading and controlling opin
ions of that party, who can say that, for four
years, as trast, they had no reason to hope
and expect peaceful acquiescence on part of
the N'-rth in their ccheme of secession ?
Who has a r ght to say in r'ew of these his
torical fac'a, that, but for these powerful in
fluence* in the North, secession would ever
have been attempted ? However this may
be, the fact of such influences constituted
one element in the southern calculation of
the chances of success.
Now, when we are crying out in the name
of 11 justice'' to* a policy of severity towards
the secession leaders of tbe south, are we not
bound tolook upon facts from this stand point,
a well as from the radical one ? and are We
not also bound to extend the tame measure
of severity to leading and influential advo
cates of secession wherever found, whether
in tbe North or the South—especially to
those wboce advocacy and support of that
most mischivous heresy occurred at a time
best calculated to prove fruitful of dangerous
results, and at the same time, lacked the ex
cuse of provocation that proved so potent in
the South ?
Giceley, Beecher and Gerritt Smith have re*
cently declared themselves In favor of a con
ciliatory opolicy with reference to the seces
sion leaders of the South ; basing their ap
peals upon grounds of expediency , but ad
roitly waiving any allusion to their own in
strumentality in the bad work that has lei t
such terrible marks npon the face of the na
tion. We can well understand the motive
of these appeals to the new President, and
that there are other reasons than those of
mere expediency which have contributed to
the sudden conversion of thfir authors. But
we are not disposed to judge that motive
harshly, however harshly aDd unfairly they
have invariably judged the motives of all who
have dared to diflcr witb them. It may not
be entirely safe to put too fine an edge upon
the public sense of justice in times like these,
lest when one class of victims shall have
perished, another may be demanded; and
President Johnson is himseff keenly cons
cious of the existence of the two classes of
offenders, equaily deserving of punishment.
His speech n the United States Senate in
Feb. 1861, fastening upon the secessionists of
the Massachusetts school and those of the
South Carolina breed equal guilt, together
with his recent declarations referring to h : s
past record as the only indication ho is pre
pared to give of his future policy in reference
to this subject, will not fail, now that he is in
a position to exercise a powerful, and perhaps
a controlling influence upon this question, to
mingle sentiments of mercy with the rigid
sense of justice entertained by the most clam
orous of (he radicals, There is no despotism
so malignant, so uncertain, and so full of peril
even to those why may happen to control it
for the hour, as the despotism of popnlar
passion. The writer hereof only asks that
this despotism may yield to reason, and be
compelled to recognise the supremacy of law
—that whatever of punishment there may
yet be in store for secessionists in the South
or in the North may be administered in pur
suance, and with all the sanctions of law,with
out unfair discrimination agaiDst those of one
section, or in favor of those of another, and
with a full recognition of all the circuinstan
ces either of mitigation, palliation, or aggra
vation. t
Ihe facts already adverted to clearlv show
that there was far less excuse for the advo
cacy of secession in the North than in the
South, and for this purpose only are they
now mentioned. Why, then, should not these
northern quondam advocates and promoters
of secession, in their appeals to President
Johnson, honestly, and frankly admit that
they, too, have sinned, and ask for their own
sakes, as well as for reasons of public expe
diency, for that mercy to their southern co
workers which they desife for themselves ?
Of course, this view of the case is an ex
ceedingly offensive one to the Northern rad
icals—all the more offensive because in their
secret hearts they know it is true. Of course
it will call forth the usual dose of stale and
dishonest twaddle about '"disloyalty" and
"sympathy with secession," though the whole
spirit of the communication is hostile to any
such forced construction. But the writer
trusts that his "loyal" frierds will do him
the justice to remember that the "disloyalty"
herein exhibited is precisely of the same sort
as that of President Johnson, who is happy
in the enjoyment of their most cordial appro
bation, notwithstanding his well known sen
timents in reference to the guilt and rtsponsi
bility of the''Massachusetts" breed of seces
sionists. L.

The Assassination i*tot--D.oials of irer

WHAT AEVERLY TUCEER RATS.
MONTREAL, May 4*
To the People of Canada :
I have this nuineat Been the proclamation
of Andrew Johnson, acting President of the
United States, stating that "it appears from
evidence in the Bureau of Military Justice
that the atrocoius murder of the late Presi
dent, Abraham Lincoln and the attempted
assassination of the Hon. Wm, 11. Seward,
Secretary of State was incited, conceited and
procured by and between Jefferson Davis
late ol Richmond, Virginia, and Jacob Thomp
son, Clement C. Clay, Beverly Tucker, Geo
N. Sanders, William C. Cleary and others,
rebels and traitors against the Government
of the United States, harbored in Canada,
and offering rewards for the apprehension of
the accused, twenty five thousand dollars
beiDg the sum offered for my arrest. It is
scarcely possible that such proclamation
would have been issued unless some such
evidence had heed adduced. What such "ev
idence" is I am totally at a loss to conjecture.
lam compelled therefore, to content mysel
with the declaration that whosoever hatl/
sworn to anything authorizing in the slight
est suspicion of my having "incited, concert
ed or procured," or of any knowledge what
ever by me of the attacks made on the Pies
ident and Mr. Seward 01 any acts or pnjects
of a kindred character, or of any plan to k d
nap or capture either of them, or any <>f the
Federal authorities, hath blackened his soul
with diabolical perjury. Until information
reached hereof the attack on President Lin
coln by Mr. J. Wilkes Booth, and that on
Mr. Seward by some other person, I did not
know that any such person as J.Wilkes
Booth existed. I had never heard ot him
before. Ido not know any of the persons
in arrest at Washington, and never heard of
them till I read the notice in the United
States newspapers of their apprehension. I
have within a day or two made inquiry and
ascertained that Mr. Booth left St. Lawrenee
Hall, Montreal, on the 27th of October last.
The officers of the Ontario Bank state that
on that day he purchased of the bank a bill
on England for £6112 Id, for which he
paid in American gold, and at the same made
a deposit of three hundred end fifty five dol
lars Canada money, which yet remains t
his credit; and that he stated he intended
to run the blockade. Whether he made
such attempt or went into the United States
by railroad I have not ascertained.
The clerks in the St. Lawrence Hall inform
me that he arrived at the house on the 18th
of October, being here nire days. I was not
in Montreal during toat time. My associa
tion with the other gentleman named in this
atrocious proclamation has been intimate for
ytars, and I admit it would be strange if they
had any knowledge of Mr. Booth's purpose,
tbat 1 should be iu utter ignorance of it.
The whole business is, in my deliberate
Judgment an attempt to get up a pretext for
a difficulty with the British province, and
the consideration that since I have been here
I have received nothing but hospitality and
kindness from you, impels me to make this
brief address to aid in the dissipation of such
pretext, I have to-day appealed to Presi
dent Johnson and Secretary Stanton to allow
me copies of the alleged "evidence" with
respect to myself, to give me a chance ta dis
prove it.
I will add that I will go before any magis
trate here and verify the above by my sol
emn oath, and that I will agree that the
United States Consul, or any respectable
counsel that he may designate, shall cros*
examine me in relation to the alleged "evi
denoe," or any other and all acts of my life.

STATEMENT OT WILLIAM W. CLEARV.
(From the Toronto Leader. May 5.)
To the Edito* 0 j the Leader:
Slß —The reward ut SIO,OOO offered for
nsy capture by President Johnson, irnperi
tively demands that I should take the first
opportunity and the m'-at public means of
referring to the proclamation which brands
me before the world as a participator in the
murder of the late President of the United
Slates. The other gentlemen whose n?tne>
are associated with mine I leave to speak for
themselves.
In this proclamation lam referred to as
the clerk of Mr. C. C. Clay. I deny most
emphatically that I ever occupied such a po
sitii n.
As to the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. I
declare before high Heaven and the whole
world that I knew nothing of it until it had
been committed and announced in the news
papers. There is not a particle of truth in
the statement that I ''concocted and incited"
the aesassiwation. The announcement of the
great crime came upon me, as it no doubt
did upon thousands of others who read it in
the papers on the day succeeding Good Fri
day, like a clap of thunder, and I shared, with
all my heart, in the general regret that so
foul a deed had been committed, and that,
too, at a time wnen the war, as I consi drred
had virtually been brought so a close.
Positive proof of my mnocenee it is, of
course, impossible for me to produce. But if
circumstantial evidence is of any avail, I may
state that only a week ago I went to Detroit
under ''safe conduct" of the "'military author
ities" to arrange mp affairs and return to my
native State. If I had been guilty of ths
crime laid to my charge, does any one sup
pose I would have ventured to go upon Am
erican soil when important revelations were
daily being made aud numerous persons ar
rested ?
I can do no more now than openly ard un
equivocally as>ert my innocence. In doing
this I appeal to the justice of a coinmuunity
which I trust will not sentence me unheard
and to the right feeling of tne Government
at Washington, who had been most egregi
oualy deceived if any evidence ha a been put
in their possession which would make me
the accomplice of assassins.
Asking your favor for the insertion of this
card as soon as possible. I am, air, youra re*
•peotfully,

National Debt* and U. 8. Stocks.
The creation of national debt* is not a
modern improvement, but the ability of a
great nation to provide for a great debt, and !
to make it the most convenient and best form i
of personal property, is a modern wonder j
The|dcbt of great.Britain was begun by rais
ing a million sterling by loan in 1692, and
when her great contest with Lovis XIV. was
terminated, the debt had reached fifty mil
lions. Many statesmen and economists were
then alarmed at the great burden which had
been imposed upon the industry of the coun
try,but when the war of the Austrian success
ion had swelled this atnout to eighty millions i
Macaulay says that historians and orators
pronounced the case to be desperate. But
when war again broke out, and the national
debt was rapidly carried up to one hundred
and forty millions, men of theory and busi
ness both pronounced that the fa'al day had
certainly arrived. David Hume said that,
although, by taxing its energies to the ut
most,the country might possible go through it
the experiment must never be repeated,— ev
en a small increase might be fatal. Granville
said the nation must sink under it unless
some portion of the load was borne by the
American Colonies, and the attempt to im
pose this load produced the war of the revo
iution, and, instead of diminishing, add* d an
other hundred millions to the bur leu. Again
says Macaulay, was England given over, but
again she was more prosperous than ever be
fore. But when at the close of her Napole
onic wars in 1816, this debt had been swelled
up to the enormous sum of over eight hun
dred millions sterling, or four thousand three
hundred million dollars, or nearly one half
the entire property of the Uuited Kingdom,
the stoutest heart, the firmest believer in na
tional development, might well have been ap
palled. But in the very face of this mountain
of obligation,—to say nothing of her vat col
onial possessions,—the property of the Brit
ish nation has been more thin trebled, and
her debt is now a charge of but 12£ per cent,
against it. All that Great Britain has done
in paying her debt, we shall do, and more,
with ours. We have vast teriitories untouch
ed by the plow, mines >{ all precious metals
of which we have hardly opened the doors,
a population full of life, energy, enterprise
andindustry, rnd the accumulated wealth
of money and labor of the old c en
tries pouring into the lap of our giant and
ever-to be united republic. During thefierc
est and ra st exhausting of all possible wars,
we have demonstrated our nationai strength
—and all the w rI I over, national strength
is hut another naras for national credit. "As
good as United Stocks" will soon be synonv
inotis the world over with "as good as Brit
tish Consols." For our part, we think aU.
S. Treasury note, bearing seven and three
tenths annual interest, is just as much better
than Brittish Consols as the rate of interest a
higher. Sme of our timid brethren, who
shipped their gold to London and invested in
consols, are now glad to sell out and invest
at home at a round loss and serves them
right.
—
BOOTH VS. JOHN BROWN. —There is quite
a coincidence between these two notorious
murderous, relative to their capture. Both
were driven to the wall by their pursuers,
and both w<_re shot while defending them
selves ; Booth's wound being mortal, and
that of John Brown's being very painful
though not mortal and he was compelled to
limp to the gallows with an unhealed wound*
be not being as lucky as B >oih. Both were
bold, braye and bad men, who conspired*
against the laws of their Country.
