LEE, 48 State St. apl tf We believe there never was more unity of l^ellng In the loyal States, upon political ^^KticDS, than exists at this moment. The importance of the hour throws all mere party prejudice into obscurity, and demands of each man his best efforts to serve his country to strengthen the sources of its authority to eii(;ourage and defend it, and to stand by it Tkith hand, wiU and fortune through the peril- ous trials it is now experiencing. Narrow prejudices may influence some personal jeal- ousy and Selfish ambition may attempt to ex- cite unjust distrust and sow the seeds of dis- cord ; but such motives will be detected by tire good sense of the people, and their patri- otic and sound judgment will visit upon the trans-gressors the scorn workers of mischief desoi-ve. Mr Johnson assumes the direction of the Executive Department of the Governmeut under circumstances which devolve upon him responsibilities unsurpassed in magnitude by those which any Chief Magistrate has been called upon to meet. We are confi- dent he will enter upon his labors with pure motives and with a desire and determiuation to perform them with the sole view of secui;- ix>\ r^?ace, justice, obedience to the laws and tht permanency of the Constitution which ^'''? ^>4feg_c.lisrl of our Republican Govoru- mcnt. He is entitled to this faith from all, at the outset, and should receive from the people he is unexpectedly called upon to seive that cordial encouragement and ready confidence a perfect reliance upon his good iiiieiitions would indicate. If the new ad- ministration can commence its career under such auspices, the fact will be the strongest gii&jantee of its success, and more certainly enaijle it to achieve the great purposes of its ('!|j|j^inzaton than all the military power it can command. It will receive a moral strength in the approval of honest people the world over that will render its career as Irresistible as beneficial; beneficial not only to its immediate constituents, but to the ad- vocates of liberty in every land. Therefore, let us take our new departure in the full strength of hope and confidence, resolved to approve the right and resist the wrong what- ever may be their source. streets, sadness has spread out its raven wing on every side. All these things do but attest the universality of the sorrow. There is not a threshold it has not crossed, nor a family apartment which it has not entered. The mind addicted to contemplation will yield itself to the influences of the time, and improve every suggestion that rises in the thoughts.

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 Every circumstance compels se- rious reflection now. It Is a brief season of national prostration before the most appaling event which has ever overtaken us. Voices are dumb in the presence of this overshadow- ing woe. The very streets are hushed, asd passers look thoughtful and sad. Salutations are all tinged with the darkness of the present calamity. The eager chase for business prof- its has given way to the absorbing grief of the hour, and nothing can command public attention but that which pertains in some way to the tragedy at the capital. In such an at- mosphere, who is there with sensibilities In- capable of being penetrated by the influences of the time, and with a heart indisposed to share the burden of the common sorrow? In another plac^ our readers will find the details of still another day of mourning in Boston. It is but a sad record, yet every one wiU peruse it with intense interest. They will read a faithful description of what is to be seen on every side by themselves of long lines of warehouses, stores, and dwellings, shrouded in the habiliments of grief,- of the public buildings mutely ofl'ering their testimonials of sorrow, of flags in crape, drooping at that portentous half-mast, which strikes a sad chord in the heart at once of wia- dows opening to the world undisguised evidences of an interior filled with painful re- grets, and of men moving about in aimless processions, and all wearing in their counte- nances the expressions of a sincere sorrow. We shall not be called upon to chronicle so wide and profound a feeling of public grief again, ff ever President was mourned by a bereft people, it is the honored Chief Magis- trate who has been taken by the hand of vio- lence from our sight. Boston mourns for him with a heart too full for utterance. orator," his opponent the firsJ time he was elected Gcvemor of Tennessee, and who siiid, in the B.;ll aud Everett Cimvention In B.tItiiBore, tbat he wistf d he might be struck blind before he ever slionld see the Union dissolved; and even Bell, whose wisdom had shone as a beacon light to the natioB for more than a quarter of a century, eower before the monster secession. But he, amid all this wreck, stood firB, keepiog the glorious Union and the CoDstitntion of onr fathers ever in view, and making them the polar star to which he steered amid the mighty convnlsions and upheavings which beset him on every side; and he now ap- pears upon the -world's great stage as a living wit- ness that pnblia virtue and unselfish patriotism are not extinct even in those States that have inaugu- rated this unholy war. While the names of many who formerly shone in the same sphere with him will be bnried beneath a mansoletim of infamy, his will shine like the bright star of the morning, and fee honored by generations yet nnbcm. ilICBAB COBBXJIf, d23 MARUFACTUBBKS.

Davis' Message. # . If the reported proclamation of Jefferson Davis at Danville be founded in fact, and Johftston should be so fortunate as to elude Sherman's and Stoneman's forces combined and join the rebel President at his place of retreat, it is possible that more trouble may yet be given us than has been anticipated. Davis certainly puts a Mark Taplejish con- struction upon the evacuation of Richmond asd Petersburg, insisting that it was a piece of strategy on his part, and that Lee oaly meant to deliver a blow at the Army of the Potomac from which it could never recover. Wfcsft he thinks of the strategy of it now tlvit Lee has surrendered, it would especially

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 please us to hear. Possibly he will say that the surrender itself was the culmination of Rll his military plans. It certainly suits us if It is eqtially satisfactory to him. Could Davis, however, succeed in taking a considerable army to Augusta, and there es- tablish his so-called government, he might protract the war for some time to come, Uut there are sundry facts which militate against such a theory as that. He could hardly ex- pect, for instance, to rely on the fealty of Johnston, who owes the rebel chief hatrea only. Nor would Got. Brown, of Georgia, be likely to second the new Davis programme with any particular zeal, if we may judge from the hearty manner in which one has de- nounced the other in message and proclama- tion. And Virginia and the Carolinas having been lost on the one side, and the States west- ward on the Mississippi being in possession of our forces on the other, there would be but a small pattern left to make a Confederacy out of. Tae single State of Georgia could hardly do it, especially with an army whose leader is openly hostile to Davis, and a State Governor whose hatred to him is not any less marked milpKtnsity. <**^-. The Universal Sorrjw. The City is shrouded in the drapery of mourning. "Turn which way we will, the ey e rests upon the unmistakeable emblems of sorrow. Not only from the residences of the wealthy, but from those of the poor also, the badges of grief trail in the gentle breezes of April. Never has such woe fallen like a dark and heavy pall upon the spirits of a whole community. Business is practically suspended. There is little or no disposition for^^eulative traffic, while a beloved Presi- dent lies dead from the bullet of an assassin. The marts of trade are comparatively silent, occupied only by men who meet to discuss an event which, in our history at least, has no parallel. The talk is not of gold, or of stocks, as formerly, but of the mysterious dispensa- tion which has deprived the nation of its President in the vigor of his days and the height of his career. lOiB living citizens of Boston will not be likely to be a second time impressed with the scenes which move them so profoundly now. It is the episode of a century, which it is tUe lot of but a single generation to witness. So general is the feeling of grief which possesses the popular heart, a feeling much mad- half-passion which Saturday, nothing is thought about but has plunged a nation into mourning, and all other topics, however pressing, are made to give way to this. The capture of Mobile, joyful as the tidings would h^e been such a little time ago, is received With scarcely a token of delight. The death of so prominent a statesman and so influen- tial a man as Richard Cobden of England, barely excites expressions of a passing regret. The community are too closely veiled with their sorrow to admit any other thought to their bosoms than the one fearftil and con- trolling thought that the Chief Magistrate of the nation is dead. The assemblage in Faneuil Hall yesterday afternoon furnished a fit illustration of the condition of the heart of the community. Few Presidits had ever come so near to the people as Mr Lincoln; his everyday sayings were familiar to them; they reposed in him entire confidence, believing him to be thor- ouglily honest and a true lover of his country- men ; and his sudden death appealed with a strange power to their sympathies, which that of some coldly great man would have succeeded in moving but feebly. The churches on Sunday likewise testified to the domination of the general sorrow, the President's death being discussed in one unbroken strain of lamentation.

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 that ruled Tis all on talked about or the tragedy which From the N. Y. Herald. Andrew Johnson was t)ora in Raleigh, North CaroUns, December 29,1808. When he had scarce- ly reached the age of four years, he lost his father, who died from the effects of an effort to save a friend from drowning. His mother was unable to afford her child any educational facilities whatever. He, therefore, never had the advantages of attend- ing school. It is even said that during his younger years he was an inmate of the alaishouse of Wake county, North Carslina, where he remained natil his tenth year. At that age he was apprenticed to a tailor in his native city. He thus labored for seven years. Hi lack of schooling, however, was in a great measure ovsrcome by a strong desire to acquire knowledge, and he spent much of his leisure tinae in educating himself. An interesting anec- dote is mentioned of his anxiety to learn to read. A gentleman of Raleigh was in the habit of visit- ing the tailor's shop and reading while the appren- tice and journeymen were at work. He read well and generally made his selections from a volume of speeches of British statesmen. Young Johnson listened with great delight, and his first ambition was to be able to read and comprehend these speeches. He at once procured an alphabet and, without an instructor, attempted to learn to read. When at a loss to know a letter he applied for as- sistance to the journeymen with whom he worked. After acquiring his letters he asked the owner for the loan of the book he had so often heard read. The owner gave him the book and some instruction as to its use. He soon learned to read, and at night, after having finished his daily labor ot ten or twelve hours, he spent two or three hours in study. In 1824 he completed his apprenticesh'p and removed to Lturens Court House, South Carolina, where he work- id as a joarneyman. Whilst there he fell in love with a girl in the neighborhood and courted her. Mr Johnson tells the story himself. The young laly saw something more in him than her mother was able trf discern. She engaged herself to him, pro- vided he could get her raoih.;r's consent. Andy went one Sunday to speak to the old lady. H's htart failed him till towards night, whan he mus- tered up courage and popped the question to the mother. He says she broke out on him in a most terrible tirade of abuse, and said, " You trifling, worthless vagabond, do you suppose I am going t let my daughter marry a wandering journeyman tailor J I know what you want i yon are too lazy to work, and you are after ray proparty." The eld woman had four childran and three negroes. This was her fortune. Ia utter de- spair young Johnson returned to tbe village marti- fied and crestfallen. In May, 1826, he returnsd to Raleigh, where he procured work, and retuiiaed n^fil September. At this timThc removed to the West, tsking with him his mother, who was entirely dependent upon him for a sttpport. He stopped at Gieenviile, Tenn., and engaged In work. Re- niaiEirg there about a ye.tr he married, and soon after went still further West. Failing to find a suitable place to settle, he returned to Greenville and commenced business. At this time Mr John- sod's education was limited to reading. Under the instructions of his wife he speedily entered the higher branches. The only time he could dero'.e to his studies was in the dead of night; bat, forgetting thefiitigucsof his daily work, in his thirst fur knowl- edge, he overcame all the weakness of nature, and rap:d!y acquired a good fund of information. Ia 1^28 Mr Johnson was elected to his first cffloe as alderman of the village. His

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 satisfactorv acquittal of himself in this office led to his reelection in lSz9, and again in 1830. In the latter year he was elected Mayor, and held that position for three jears. In 1835 he was elected to the State Legisla- ture. In the session: of tbat year he took a bold stand against the measures of internal improve- Bcent proposed by some members, on the ground that it would entail upon the State a burdensome debt. The measure meeting the popular approval, in the election of the next year (1837) Mr Johnson was defeated. In 1839 he was again a candidate. His predictions in opposition to the internal im- provement bills having been realized, he was elected by a large majority. In 1840 he served as Presidential elector for the State at large on the Democratic ticket. He canvassed a large portion of the State, meeting on the stump some of th j leading Whig orators. In 1841 he was elected to the State Senate. In 1843 he was elected to Congress, serv- ing by successive reijlections until 1853. During his career in that office he advocated the bill for refunding the fine imposed upon General Jackson at New Orleans in 1815, the annexation of Texas, the tariff of 1846, the war measures of Mr Folk's administration, and a homestead bill. In 1853 he was elected Governor of Tennessee after an excit- ing canvass. He was reelected in 1855 after another spirited contest. At the expiration of his second period as Governor, in 1857, he was elected to the Senate of the United States for the term ending March 3, 18C3. He, however, never com- pleted his term. On March 4, 1862, he was confirmed by the Senate of the United States Military Governor of Tennessee, with the rank of Brigadier General, with all the powers, duties and functions pertaining to that office, dur- ing the pleasure of the President, or until the loyal inhabitants of the State should organize a civil government, in accordance with the constitution of the United States. The designation of General Johnson for the position was considered by every- body as eminently proper, both in view of his pe- enljar fitness for the office and of his great popu- larity ameng all loyal people, besides his devotion to bis own State. The Governor, by the aceeotance of the office, necessarily vacated his position as Senator. Mr Johnson's administration ij Tennessee was very generally approved, though It had some enemies. Under him, and with the assistance of the armies operating in Tensessee, order was restored in many sctioas of tbe State, and most of the Inhabitants who re- mained loyal were protected. Ou Juua 8, 1864, Mr Johnson was chosen by the national republican convention as the candidate of the party for the Vice Presidency of the United States. In his let- ter of acceptance, in the following month, hi& ex- pression of views were, in the m ain, in harmony with the settled opinions of a majority of the think- ing minds of the country. Ou Maroh 4.;h last Mr Johnson was regularly inaugurated as sec- ond to the good man whose death we laaent. Since Mr Johnson's induction info oflics as Vice President he has not been called open to act in an official c;i.)aeity, but a brief review of his career may enable us to draw some inferences in regard to his fitaess for tbe vast public duties about to devolve upon him. He was bom and reared amid the lowest povertv. It is evident it ho had been without naturil abil'l- ties of the rarest quality he never would have risen, particularly so high above his trade. His m ister, though he failed to have him taught eveu the ruli- meEts of an English education, at least trained him up to love the truth, work hard, and be strjight- lorward

By his own efforts be taught bimself a little, and marryiag, after his apprenticeship was completed, a woiaaa who knew something about books, he was fairly started on the road to learning. Though MV Johnson is no scholar in the sense of books, his experience and observation have taught hL-u more valuable lessons a knowledge of ni-ju and strjtig common sense. His political bias was iu early years exceedingly democratic. Previous to the breaking out of the presontrebellion he was theiuol of the Southern Democracy; aud had he permitted himself to float upon the wave of secession and treason, there is not a doubt but he would have been placed at the head of that revoluntionar)' movement. the Southern Confederacy. But his devotion to his country his whole coun'ry impelled him to sever the bonds that connected him with a peopla whoa he had for so long a period led and controlled, but who were snatched from his influence by the iafa- mo'JS crime of treason. These people he could still have wielded could his potent voice have reached them, but the monster of intolerance closed her jaws upon him. He was not permitted in Middle and West Tennessee to address the people. Had he attempted it a mob would nave been readv, not only to stop his voice, but to take his life.' Too well tbe leaders of rebellion in Tennessee knew his power over the people; and they were conscidus that if he were permitted to make public speeches the people would rally around him that he could preserve Tennessee from their fatal sway. He stood firm, and vet stands firm, as a monument of loyalty aud "de- votion to his country, while many of his conteoi- porancous political liglits have been forever extia- guitbcd and enshrouded in the perfily of th^ coa- spiracy agtiost the life of the nation.

Herald, l Our European advices by the Germania informs us of the death of Richard Cobden, M. P., the great English champion of free trade, the ablest man in the ranks of the radical reformers of Great Britain, a sincere and honest Democrat, and a firm friend of the people of the United States, their Government and rights. Mr Cobden died in Suf- folk street, London, on Sunday, the 2d of April, in the sixty-first year of his age.He was in declining health for some few years past, and of late his appearance in Parliament or at public meetings outside the house, were followed by such bodily prostration as to seriously im- pede the discbarge of his public duties. The immediate cause of his demise was a pro- longed attack of chronic spasmodic asthaea. Richard Cobden was a self-made man. He was born at Midhnrst, Sussex, England, in the year U(!4. His laiher was a small farmer inthut aeigh- boihooe!; so that the early yeas of the late leeis- lator may be said to have been passed in a strug- gle with poverty; and there are few passages in biagiophy mere int-^resting th in the accouat of bis rise ftom the .home of a Sussex yeoman, an-.! from the position of a boy In a London warehons >, to a place in the British Senate, where he could couimand his audience and influence the destiny of nations.

Ho obtained employment from his kinsman, and once at work, the energy, tact and ass'dnity of youngCohden speedily begra to he felt, and he was promoted to tlie position of traveller, or, as the class was at that time termed in England, a "bag-tiian." Ia the ccnatcsrcia! room of the various hotels, young Cobden was al- wajs a welcome inmate; and there wereafewyesrs ago in his native island old " roadsters" who "used to speak familiarly and affectionately of their old companion, and who recognized his free trade ar- gumenfs, urged with so much effect in St. Ste- phen's, as bavingheea many years before employed after dinner in the trade travellers' room. Mr Cobden, like all men of his stamp, pushed his way upward and secured a partnership in a consider- able manufacturing firm, and in the effort to ox- tend his business, he soon after visited the United States and also the empire of Russia. While mainly engaged in comBiercial transactions he always kept his eyes open to the broader questions of the political and social condition of the countries he visited, and pamphlets on Russia and en the United States in their relations with England " By a Manchester Manufacturer," con- tained the germs of most of those free trade and politico-economical opinions which were developed by him in his future career. About this period Geueijl Pejronnet Thompson and Mr Charles Vil- liers, M, P., called in question the wisdom of the English Corn laws, Mr Thompson attacking the system in bis " Corn Law Catechism," and Mr Vil- llers assailing it in the House of Commons. The Anti-Corn Law League was organized soon after- wards in Manchester. Mr Cobden did not join the body immediately; but when he did take that step be, in cenjunction with John Bright, infused a vast amount of fresh life and energy into it, and, in fact, gave it the impetus which mainly enabled it to attain its triumphant issue. By Cob- den's advice England was divided into districts, subscriptions were raised, lecturers were ap- pointed ; but there is no question that these leotar- rs were of comparatively little value as the whole interest centered in the peregrinations of Mr Cob- den, Mr Bright, and one or two other men, whose exertions at that time, wholly disinterested as they were, present an amount of labor done and self- denial gone through for the sake of " an idea" which is probably without a parallel outside the cause cf religion. After a time Mr Cobden sought a seat in the House of Commons. He oflered Uiui- sell for Stockport at the dissolution which followed the death of King William in 1837. bat was then defeated. In the following dissolu- tion , in 1841, when Lord Melbourne made his appeal to the country in favor of a fixed duty ou corn, Mr Cobden offered himself again, and was suceessfui. In the House he took every opportunity of advo- cating his peculiar views, and one of his impas- sioned speeches led to a singular scene. Soon after Sir Robert Peel came into power in that Par- liament, his private Secretary, MrDrnmmocd. was shot by a madman of tbe name of McNahtea, in mistake for Sir Robert himself. The circiTmst.iTice naturally made"a deep impression on Sir Robert's nind ; and when in the course of a free trade de- bate Mr Cobden warned the ministers of the responsibility they in-^urred by re- fusing tbe free importation of corn to a staivmg people, Sir Robert Peel ro-;e in a state of great excitement and aceusud Mr. Cobden of in- citing to assassination. The clamor that rose thereupon, the criminations and rocrimiaatious, the explanations and apologies that followed,

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 may be in.agined by those who are fiimiliar wiih the proceedings of the body. Iu the year 1846, five years after Mr. Crbden entered Parliament, Sir Robert Peel introduced the bill fur the repeal cf the corn law, which is now tbe law of England. Cobdca's name was in every one's mouth, aud perhaps tbe most graceful tribute that was ever paid to a public man was offered to him by Peel himself, when, in reviewing the course of tiie corn law agitation and its success, he said the result was mainly dne, not to his effjr(s nor to the efforts of any of his coUeagnes, bat " to the unadorned eloquence of Richard Cobden." Engltnd was not ungrateful. Aa soon as the con- test WS over a proposal was made to rais-2 100,000 by way of subscription in reeoenition of the ser- vices of Mr Cobden, by which It was well under- stood his own private affairs had become impaired tbrough his neglect of them. The propost! was warmly taken up, and though the sanguine antici- pations of its promoters were notreahzed, the sum 01 70,000 was raised, with a portion of wh'ch tbe small property at Midhnrst, on which ho had worked when a boy, was purchased for him, while the remainder was invested by Mr Cobden himself in American railway stock. When Sir Robert Peel went out of office Lord John Russell became Pre- mier, and In the distribution of his offices it was understood he offered to Mr Cobden some subordi- nate office we believe the Vice Presidentship of the Board of Trade which Mr Cobden declined. He was next sent to Parliament for the Great West Riding of Yorkville. This seat heretaiued for tea or eleven years, devoting himself to the advocacy of radical reform views. When Lord Derby came into power, in 1852, he showed himself one of the bitterest opponents of the conservative Cabinet, and he, in conjunction with Mr Bright and his ola friends of the Corn Law League, threatened a re- vival of that body and the agitation it worked. The war with Russia, which soon after followed, found In Mr Cobden a strenuous opponent. When the Fng'ish Parliament was dissolved, in 1867, in consequence of the vote condemn- ing Sir John Bowring's conduct jn bring- ing on the Chinese war, Mr Cobden did not offer himself for the West Riding. He be- came a candidate for the town of Huddersfield.but was beaten, remaining out of Parliament for two years. During this period (1859) Mr Cobden came to the United States on some private business. When Mr Cobden was iu the United Stivtes his friends nominated him for the borough of Roch- dale, and returned him for the scat. The issue of that election was unfavorable to the conservative party, and Lord Palmerston resumed office. In the distribution of places his lordship avoided the mis- take which his cofleague. Lord Russell, had made twelve or thirteen years before, and kept the Pres- identship of the Board of Trade, with a seat in the Cahinet.vacant for some time, waiting Mr Cobden's acceptance. Mr Cobden, on arriving in England, hastened to the Premier and declined the offer. Though never a minister of England, it was his fate to have a more potential voice in the commer- cial policy of his country than most ministers ever attain, in having the chief direction of the com- mercial treaty with Trance. Mr Cobden had al- ways insisted on the pacific intentions of the Emperor of the French; and in one of his visits to Paris he had an interview with his M^esty, in which Louis Napoleon entered into an elaborate argument to show that his naval and military pre- parations, which were then exciting a good deal of uneasiness, were no more than the domestic necessi- ties of France required. This

April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 apology found its way into the newspapers it was understood from the pen of Mr Cobden himself and the w:iy was thus paved for the rumors that afterwards began to cir- culate, aud which every day acquired fresh con- sistency, respecting the negotiation of the treaty. Wc have said that Mr Cobden invested tiie surolns of the corn law subsciiptioas in American railway stock, and we may add that for a time he suff, red seme losses from the investment. About the time that Mr Cobden was out of Parliament, and while he was residing iu the French provinces of Algiers some of his friends proposed to raise a second subscription in his favor. It was to hive been nanaeed with great delicacv. But the Lordcn Times got hold of ' the affdr, and in an article recommended the case to the pu'.lic in a tone of contemptuous pity, at th; same tiae srecringly remarking, how singular it was that E gintl mani

This box is entered from a narrow, dark hail-way, which in turn is separated from the dress circle by a small door. The examination of the ^* premises discloses the fact that the assassin had fully and deliberately prepared and arranged them for his diabolical purpose previous to the assem- bling of the audience. A piece of board one loch thick, six inches wide, and about three feet in length, served for a bar, one esd being placed in an indentation excavated in the wall for the purpose, about four feet from the floor, and the other against the molding of the doer panel, a few inches higher than the em' in the wall, so that it would be impossible to jar it out of place by knocking on the door on the oat- side. The demon having thus guarded against in- ttusion by any of the audience, next proceeded to prepsre a means of observing the position cr the parties inside the box. With a gimlet or small bit he bored a hole in the door panel, which he a.'';er- wards reamed out with his knife so as to leave it hitle larger than a buckshot on the inside, -vii'/.e it was sufliciemly large oa the outside In the dark entry for him to place his eye against with c .nve- nlcnce, and see the position occupied by the Pcesi- dent and his .''riends. Beth box doors were per- forated in like manner. But there were spring locks on each of these d.-jors, and it was barely possible that they might be fastened. To prov de 'jgainst such an emergency, the screws which fast- en the bolt hasps to the wood bad been partially withdrawn, and left so that while they would hold the hasps to the wood they would afford little or no resistance to a rtrm pressure upon the dooi- f-oui the outside. DELIBEUATE PREP.iHATIONS FOR THK MVBDEK. He.ving thus provided for a sure and easv en- trance to the box, the next business was to insure a clear and unobstructed passage to the locality of the victim by such an arrangement of the chairs and sofas as would place the other occupau: at considerable distance from him. The rocfc'nc or easy ch?.ir occupied by Mr Lincoln was found in the front corner of the box farthest from the -ace Another, for Mrs L!ucoln, a liule more rcm&e tiom the front, while the other chairs and a sofa were all placed on the side nearest the stage, ieav- ing the centre of the spacious box clear for the bloody operations of the actor. These prepara- tions were neither conceived by a maddened brain designed by a fool, nor executed by a drankard They bear most unmistakable evideiica of geaios industry and perseverance in the perfect accam- plishment of a deliberate murder. At a few minutes past eight in the evcnin? the President and Mrs Lincoln called at the residence 0- Senator Harris, corner of Fifteenth aud H streets, where they took Miss Clara Harris and Major Henry R. Rathbun, United States Army, into their carriage, and proceeded to the theatre Shortly after they entered the fatal box the Presi- dent seated himself in the chair designed for him bv the assassin. Mrs Lincoln took one near him. Miss Harris tbe one at the opposite corner, fronting the audience, and Major Rathbun seated himself upon the sofa a few feet behind Miss Harris. There tsere no other persons in the beix, and no one en- tered it or left until about the time of the assassi- nation. Charles Forbes, the personal attendant of the President, had been told by Mrs Lincoln to re- main nearthe box, as he might be wanted, Tiie President seemed well, though somewhat sad, and spoke very little. He arose once during the per- formance, went to the door of the box, put on his overcoat and then returned

The deed was perpetrated during the sce^ad scene of the third act of the piece, by somd mm who must hKve approached stealthily and uBseen through the dark passage at tbe back of tta box. Major Rathbun was not aware of his presence til! hearing the report of a pistol, and, looking round, saw the flash, and dimly through the smoke the form of a man in the box, not more than six feet from the President. As the Major sprang tow.^rds him he heard him shriek some word like " free- dom." He then seized him. The assassin shook loose from the officer's grasp, and at the same time made a violent thrust at his left breast with the knife which he held in his hand.' Major Rathbu caught the blow on his left arm iJeir me shoulder, and at once sprang for him again, bet only suc- ceeded in grasping bi*cIothing, which he partly tore from him as he leaped from the box to the stage. The Mujor then cried out 'Stop that man," and sup- posing it impossible for him to escape throa^h the crowd below, rushed back to the Prcsidbnt aud to . the aid of Mrs. Lincoln, who, for the first time realizing what had occurred, was ehrieifci8 for-' help. The President had not charged his poisMSP except that his eyes were tlos.,! and his hem slightly bent forward. Major Riithbun saw at a glsECP that ho was mortally wour.ded. He went to the door of the box for the puroose of pr >eadag medical aid, and to his astonishment found the outer door at the end of the dark hall from waich the be-xes ars enterea firmly barri--d on the ii-side with a piece of wood wedged across atout four feet from the fljor; so that those outside who were knock'.ug for admission c juld not get in.

Ia order to place her right in thi h s-' tory the following facts will suffice : _ Miss Keene was behind the scenes at the precise time of the shooting, waiting to come on the stacre. She was near the place theatrically known as Ithe tormentor. She was on the northern side of thj theatre, while the President's box was on the southern side. Mis Kecne's position was near the prompter's desk; but as that official was absent calling some of the actors, she placed herself near the point where she could more readily enter upon her part. She was at the time expecting to see the ingress of Mr Spear, whose part was at hand, and Srepared herself to break his fall as he entered in a runken scene; but instead of receiving Mr Spear Mr Booth pushed his way suddenly through the side scene,

She for a second looked at him and saw it was another per- son from the one she expected, and iastantaneouslv she heard the cry that the President was shot Ihe cry was spontaneous among the audience ana many of tfcem were making for the stage. She' then knew something was occurring, as women were screaming, men hallooing and children cry- ing, as if a fire panic had taken place. Miss Keene went to the front of the stage, and, addressing the bewildered audience, said, " For God's sake have presence of mind and keep your places, and all Will be well. Notwithstanding this appeal the audience were boisterous, and while all seemed willing to detect the perpetrator of the great crime, but one made a move to this of the eno. iscarceiy aaa the perpetrator crime jumped from the President'^s box to the stage thaa he was followed by Mr Stewart, one of the au- ditors. As Mr Booth crossed the stage he met and struck at the carpenter with the dagger he held,and instantaneously made his exit to the rear of the theatre,where his horse was in readiness, and thence made his escape. Miss Keene, after momentarily arresting the panic and consternation in the audi- ence, heard the cry of Miss Harris, saying "Miss Keene, bring some water." Miss Keene responded to the call, made her way, which was rather cir- cuitous, through the dress circle to the President's box, and got theru a few momenta after the o-icur- rence. There she saw Mrs Linc5ln, in the agony of a devoted wife, uttering the most piteous cdes Miss Keene attempted to pacify her, at the Sime time offering the good offices in her power; bu- she was convmced from her obs rva'ion that huTias help was in vain. Miss Keene remained with the Piesident until he was taken from the theatre. btatemekt or a citv .tudge. One of the Judges of the Courts in this citr was in attendance at Ford's theatre on the ni!,'ht o't" the tragedy, and occupied a seat about ten fa^t back from the box which the Presidential party occu- pied. During the representation ef the thirl at he saw a man leaning against the wall, a few steps back from the private box, whose manner at- tracted his attentiein. His first impressioa-.- were that he was drunk, but, eveing him more ciose'v. the strange person gave the Judge a piercing look. His glaring eyes, p\!e face and ner.-ous acU->a led the Ju'ige to believi that the mao was crazr, aud he called the attention of the gentleman silting next to him to the strange action Just then there was a demonstration of applause in the tliSitre over ssme scene on the stage, which aUracted h-is attention. A moment and but a momea: he turned again to view the stranger, aa I ho was jas' pas&iug through the door into the President's box. But a moment more the deed w.is done, and tbe strange person disappeared on the stage. Ford's theatre was visited to-day hy Judge O'in, in company with Senator Harris and his daughter' wten a careful examination of the Pcesident's box was made. MAJOK EATHEl-N S WOUXD.

New York, Ai'Ril 17. It appears by the Her- ald's account that Major Rathbone was not aware of the presence of the assassin in the box nntil he heard the pistol, when turning he saw the maa within six feet of the President. The Major sprang toward and seized him. The man straggled, and at the same time made a thrust at the Major's heart with a knife. The Major received the blow on his left arm and shoulder, and at once again sprang for him as he leaped from the box. He cried, " Stop that man," and thinking it impossible for him to escape from the crowd below turned to the President. The President had not changed his position, except that his eyes were closed and his head slightly bent forward. The whole time con- sumed by the assassin from entering the box and disappearing did not consume 30 seconds. Major , Bathbpne has suffered much fiom loss of blood. He is however in good condition and progressing rapidly. ___ MEETINCS OF IHE BIPtOBCATIC B9DT. Washington, April 17.

The committee waited upon the Secretary of State, and through bim sought an interview with Capt.

The news of the surrender of Lee was received on Thursday by the steamer Oceanna, and caused the liveliest demonstrations of joy. The great event of raising the old flag on Fort Sumter attracted a large number of visitors to Charleston. Long before 10 o'clock the streets and wharves were thronged with people. Tho negroes turned out by thousands, and w bite citizens were largely in attendance. All the National vessels were decked with colors, and salutes were fired at 8 o'clock in honor of the capitulation of Lee. The monitors had never besn np to the city before, and the curiosity to see them was great. The whole forenoon was occupied in transporting immense numbers of visitors to Fort Sumter. Detachments of marines and sailors, survivors of the assault on Fort Sumter, with the 127th New York and 35th Massachusetts Volunteers, were drawn up in line to receive the visitors. 'Some time was passed in examining the Fort before the ceremonies commetDcod. From 3000 to 4000 persons were present, inclu- ding from 400 to 500 citizens of Charleston. Gene- rals Gilmore and Anderson arrived at noon. The latter's eyes wA-e filled with joy as he glanced at the flag-staff on which he was to hoist the old flag, Mr Beecber arrived at 12^ o'clock. The ceremonies commenced with singing the song and chorus entitled " Victory at Last," and a prayer by the venerable Rev. Mr Harris, Chaplain in the army, the same who off red prayer when Major Anderson removed his command to Sumter, Dec. 27, 1860. Then followed reading from Psalms by Rev. Dr Storrs and the people alternately. Major Anderson's despatch, announcing the fall of Fort Sumter, was read by Gen. Townseud. The flag was then raised by Gen. Anderson, after some remarks suitable to the occasion. Tumultuous shouts welcomed the throwing of the flag to the breeze. A salute of 100 guns from Sam- ter and a National salute from the fleet and other forts in the harbor, followed. The singing of " Star Spangled Banner" ensued, tbe whole audience joining. Mr Beecherthen delivered an eloquent address. VABIOVS MATTEBS. New York, April 17__George Wells, John Gallagher, Wm. Fanning and Peter Britton, the latter the treasurer of a theatre, were today sen- tenced to six months in the Penitentiary for utter- ing treasonable sentiments. Last evening a squad of patriotic young men visited the house of Mrs John Tyler, widow of the ex-President, on Staten Island, and demanded and obtained a rebel flag which had long been hanging in her parlor. Ex-Mayor Lewis, of Savannah, a violent rebel, was present, but kept quiet. The parlor of Mrs Tyler is where the Secessionists have often met during the war, and was the head- quarters of a rebel sewing society. The flag was sent to Gen. Dix. Several Secessionists are reported to have been beaten by infuriated Unionists on hearing the awful comments on the assassination made by these fiends. An inflammatory placard was posted around the city this mornine, concluding with "Death to traitors," " The Union, one and undivisible," ' Strike often," "No more parley." Lee turned over in round numbers 30,000 men. Our losses probably do not exceed 10,000 or 11,000. Johnston has surrendered his entire army to Sher- man. The re' el Generals express a desire to sub- mit to the United States authorities. A man

The city to-day h^ partially resumed' its rsual aspct, as the shock ot the first an- nonncement which threw the current of busi- ness ftom lt customary channels has sub- jlded, and there are no special ceremonials cf grief to engage the public. Most of the stores on the Avenue have reopened. Some, bwever, still remain closed, and It Is no- ticeable in all that the amount of business transacted is greatly lessened. The Insignia of mourning everywhere remain, and on ^e Capitol a further display has beeo-fSfflK^ accordance with the order of the Lieut. Gen- eral. All officers of the Army appear with crape upon tiie left arm, and many civilians have adopted the same emblem, that of black and white rosette. In the homes of the lower classes, and especially of the contra- bands, small flags bordered with crape are almost universal. To one negro woman who had hung npoa her door-handle a strip of black cloth a, passer by said: " Why don't you have afllii? like your neighbor?" "I have done all I could," she replied, with tears standing in her eyes. She was too poor to buy even the smallest flag, but had done all that her sctnt;y resources allowed. The grief of these poor people is afl'ecting to behold; they have looked upon the President as their best friend, and now that he Is taken from them they know not where to turn. The White House grounds arc closed to them as to aU others, but they wait around the gates and in the street In front, content even to look upon the walls which contain aU that Is mortal of their bene- factor, and scarcely willing to believe that he has gone from them forever. While the flame of the excitement has les- sened from lack of fuel to feed on, the im- pulses of the people are no less warm and inflammatory. When it was learned that the men arrested this morning had been taken into custody on the suspicion that they were accessory to the murder, a crowd collected who pelted them with stones so that their lives were In danger, and only the threatening action of tlie Guard prevented. The passing of a squad of soldiers through any street, though for four years a familiar sight, is sure to draw a crowd and attract all eyes, especially If they seem to be guarding prisoners the suspicion is Immediately sur- mised that the murderer has been taken, and the personal interference of the oflJcers, and their assurances to the contrary, are required to restore quiet. The new President has adopted precautions which Mr Lincoln too much neglected. A guard is stationed at his Hotel and when he rides to the Treasury Department he is atr tended by a squad of armed cavalry; other

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 ofllclals and some prominem, members of the Legislative Department have adopted some- what similar precautions in anticipation of further murderous demonstrations. Mrs Lincoln through the kind offices of sympathizing friends has become more reconciled to the bei-eavement which has fallen upon her and the nation. The catas- trophe had long been feared but when It came it was none the les^ overwhelming,. Tl^j, othei''members of the now ia,lherless family have shown a consistent and Christian spirit of resignation and have learned to look upon their loss more calmly than was possible when the agonizing truth first burst upon them. Two distinct theories are still discussed by those who are investigating the manner in which the act of murder was done, in order to account for a hole in one of the doors of the private box. It was assumed that tho assassin first entered the box, stabbed Major Eathbone, then stepped back into the lobby, fired through a closed wooden door, and then again pushed through the box and leaped to the stage. This theory makes the percep- tive faculties of the murderer equal to those of the man who claimed to see through a mill-stone, and has not found general belief. A further examination of the hole In the door renders It probable that it was cut with a knife for the purpose of observation, and con- firms the statements of my first despatch, that the assassin was in the box at the tima th fatal shot was flred. The arrests to-day have given rise to a great deal of speculation, but no substantial devel- opments have been made rbM^s yet Olivek ttict, ^returned from Richmond to-day. He SBys the assassinatiofl of Mr Lincoln pro- HlUccd a deep feeling there. Robert Ould de- nounced it in the most severe terms. No doubt is entertained that Gten. Johnston had asked Sherman what terms he proposed to offer in case he concluded to surrender, and Sherman infornwd him that he was fully empowered to negotiate or fight. If Johns- ton would surrender he would be permitted to do so on Giant's terms to Lee; if not, Sherman was prepared to give battle. SPECIAL NOTICES. , JEFF. BAVIS AT MACOIf, 6A. Baltimore, April 17.

A solemn sadness continues to pervade all classes of the community. The demand for money, on call, is about equal to the supply, at the banks and in th street. The eurrent rate of interest on collateral loans of the first class Is six per cent., and probably it will continue at that point until the National Banks shall he called upon to pay over to the Treasury Department the balances held by them on de- posit. Payments of this kind have heretofore tightened the mar- ket, more or less, althongh only temporarily, and no doubt wlllsgaln. judging of the future by the past, but there can tie no permanent stringency so long as the currency con- tinues to be disbursed as fa.st as it is received. There are more buyers than sellers of prime commerci^ notes and acceptances, having three add four months to ma- ture, at eight per cent. Single names of favorite firms are taken at the same rate, and the range for the lower grades Is from nine to twelve, according to the standing of pro- missors. The dealings in Certificates of Indcbtednoes are princi- pally at private sale, and arc larger, it is esti^nated, than in mercantile paper. Some of them which have only a short time to run are bought at very small discount, while the longer dates yield to the purchasers from eight to nine percent The stock market Is not very active, and there is but little disposition at present to buy largely either for speculation or investment.

Washington, April 17. Secretary Sewarcl, after a refreshing sleep to-(3ay, is quite comfortable this evening, and liis condition gives increasing hopes of his ultimate recovery. Frederick Seward has revived consider- ably, and strong hopes of his recovery are entertained. The indentation of his skull has been raised, and it is evident that there was no lesion of brain nor any effusion of serum, upon the dura mater. President Johnson has taken lodgings at the quarters relinquished to him by Attorney- General Speed, and will receive his meals from the Metropolitan Club. A letter received at Ford's Theatre directed to J. Wilkes Booth, has been handed to the police. It is in the hand writing of Junius Brutus Booth, and is signed simply "Jan." The writer speaks significantly of the oil business, and advises young Booth to abandon it now that Kichmond has been given up and Lee has surrendered, as his friends believe it will not prove profitable. A postscript signed " Alice " is appended, giving Booth similar advice. Evidence is accumulating to show that the assassination was done for money, Ben Filkline, a notorious leader of the Dan- ites inMormondom, was arrested here to-day. A person who was riding into Washington on Friday night, met a horseman riding rap- idly, who inquired the way to Upper Marl- boro', and soon after met another who asked the same question, and inquired if he had been preceded by another horseman. Both seemed excited and in haste. At the meeting of Congressmen to-day to prepare for the obsequies, much feeling was manifested by tho speakers, although they were only discussing business matters. Sen- ator Foote was overcome by emotion .and broke down entirely. Although good order has been very gener- ally maintained during the deep excitement in this city, whenever a prisoner is marched through the streets it is difficult to restrain the ardor of the populace, who would like to avenge the murderous work done upofa the President and the Sewards. The efficacy of strong military guards is fully appreciated during this crisis. Our places of amusement are entirely closed. Grover's Company has been dis- missed for the season. John Dangerfleld, a leading Secessionist of Alexandria, has put mourning upon his house and declares that the South is completely whipped

POETRY. ABBAHAM I^UICOIitT. BY HAUEY HAREWOOD LEECH. O, bravest soul! 0, wisest head! With gentle heart and Mfrcy's hand; Why could yc not be spared to lead Thy people to the " Promised Land f" We heard the music far away! We saw the il jwers in their bloom; The golden dawn of coming day Seemed not the night of coming doom. But yesterday the bugle's blast Scarce drowned the nation's joyous hum; We knew the pangs and deemed them past; We never heard the mnSied drum. We never saw the hidden hand, Nor heard the whi^ers in the wind; Is Tmomi-he !" through all the land The laurel, olive, intertwined. Onr silken banners, wave on wave. Were floating in their native sky! Wo did not heed the open grave, Hut passed the " dust and ashes " by. We did not see the martyr-crown; The thorns were hidden near the rose; Ard heads sow bow most lowly down: Before the warning came the blows. ** ? So near the people's heart, beloved! So simply grand, so nobly good; To peaceful arts forever moved. Although the age was red with blood. Thy memory vi'ill be the good That ever to anatton brings God's purposes, so understood, That men reach up to higher things. And bondm^i bless thee as they barn Rude altar-fires by the way, Embalming, in a sacred urn, The Benediction of thy day. nuiADEIPHIA, AF-BHI. 16,18*55.

IN Meeting of the Mimieipal Authorities- Address of Mayor EeBohitions, Lincoln- &o. Addresses, Besolutions, Decorations, and Other Matters. lBr0BTED FOB.THE BOSIJON POST. The tragic death of President Lincoln continues -the absorbing theme of the public mind. ^ It has unfilled the community from the ordinary pur- suits and pleasures of life, and the almost over- powering grief finds expression ia public gather- ings, in the display of the insignia of mourning, and religious and other solemn and appropriate ervices. Below we give accounts taken yesterday by otir State and City authorities, and of the large meeting of citizens in Faneuil Hall, which will, ire donbt not, be read with interest. At tlie State Houae. The two branches met at two o'cloclt. Appro- priate and fervent prayers were made by the re- spective chaplains. In the Senate an order was adopted that a Con- vention be held forthwith for the purpose of re- ceiving any communication the Governor might be pleased to make, and Senator Parker, of Suf- folk, was charged with a message to the House to that effect. The order was concurred in by the House, and the two branches met accordingly. Messrs Foster, of Essex, and South wick, of Worcester, on the part of the Senate, and Messrs ScuDDER, of Dorchester, Stone, of Waltham, Jones, of Pepperrell, Wells, of Chicooee, and Hoi- nrN, of Salem, were appointed a committee to wait upon the Governor, who subsequently re- ported that His lixcelleney would ap;>iar before the Convention immediately. Ai twenty minutes past two the Governor, ac- companied by his staff and the Council, entered , the Hall, and the Governor delivered the Ibllowing , address;

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 best to represent. Daring the more than four years since his first inauguration as President, it has been my duty and my great honor, to participate in briaging to the supuort and de- fence ef the National Government, under his Pres- idential administration, thfe powerful resources of patriotic will, of loyal hearts, of means, of arms ana of men, contributed by Massachusetts to the establishment of the rights of the nation, and the liberties of the people. Brought by these msans into relatietis with President Lincoln, personal not less than official, which could not fail to disclose the character, and reveal the man, I desire on this grave occasion, to record my sincer-3 testimony to tb'i unaffected simplicity of his manly purpose, to the constp.ncy with which he devoted himself to his duty, to the grand fidelity with which he subor- dinated himself to his country, the clearness, robust- ness and sagacity of his understanJiag, to his sin- cere love of truth, his undeviating progress in its faithful pursuit, and to the confidence which he could not fail to inspire, in the singular integrity of iis virtues and the coDspicuoualv judicial quality of his intellect. He had the rare gift of discerning and setting aside whatever is extraneous and acci- dental, and of simplilying an inquiry or aa argu- ment by just discriminations. The purpose of his mind waited for the instruction of his deliberate judgment, and he was never ashamed to hesitate until he was sure it was intelligently formed. Not greatly gifted in what is called the intuition of reason, he was nevertheless of so honest an intel- lect that, by the processes of methodical reasoning, he was often led so directly to his result that he occasionally seemed to rise into that peculiar sphere which we assign to those who by original constitu- tion are natural leaders among men. Not by na- ture a leader,neither was he by nature a follower; and by a force of his rare union and balance of cer- tain qualities, both intellectual and moral, he was enabled to rise to the dignity of master of his own position, in a place exacting and difflcult almost bayond the precedents of history. Edncated wholly as a civilian, his fame will be forever asso- ciated with his administration of public affairs in a civil wai-, unexampled in its proportions, and con- ducted on his own side with such success as to command his own reelection by the free will of a free people. Perhaps little that he spoke or wrote will pass into literature, yet few men have ever written or spoken with greater effect or to better purpose in appealing ever the passions of the hour, to the sober judgement of men, face to face with their combined duties and in- terests ; and very few there have been who knew .o well as he how to reach the understauding of plain aid honest men who compose the intelligent masses of the American people. Possessed of a mil of nhuEual firmness and tenacity, his heart was placable, homane and tender. He exerted powers the U'.obi extensive and various, stretching iato that undefined and dangereus region of administrative jurisprEdence, where the rights and duties of the military Cominander-iD-chief limit and merge into tfrnselvcs the functions of the civil magistrate, / id even of the judicial tribunal. And yet, if we houid soncede to his enemies all that flitatpoiDtsd animosity and defeated disloyalty hle to allege against him, we thould still be enabled to challenge ai! human histnrv 10 produce the name of a ruler more just, unseKisu or ncres^^litfal.

It were premature for us to assert how, or how far, during the four years of his administration, he led tbis American people. The unfolding of events in the history we are yet to enact, will' alone determine the limits of such inlluenco. It is enough for his immortal glery that he faithfully represented this people, their confidence in democratic governmant, their constancy in the hour of adversity, and their magnanimity in the hour of triumph. Of that narrow tfnd bigoted conceit of intelligen^^e which affects to measure truth by the standard of its own conceptions, he had none. Nor did the argument of apparent and superlicial consistencv, so often the bug-be K of meaner minds, weigh' down for an instant, in the scales of his serene and conscientious adju- dications of duty, and verify the imperative de- mands of any doetrine or any method however newly discovered. Comine to the Presidency, preoccupied by the traditional theories and opiu'- ions of the political school in which he was edu- cated, he devoted himself with a purpose, single and exclusive, to the practical interpretation of events, to the study of those lessons taught by the experience through which the country was called to passi and learning, in common with a majority of his countrymen, in the strifes and agonies of the rebellion, by the lurid glare of the fires of treason and of civil war, how to accommodate opinion to the altered relations of States, interests and sections of the people, he marched, side by side with the advancing hosts of the b3st and most discerning, in the direction where Divine Providence pointed the way. Comparing bis declarations of purpose asd of inclination with the great actions of his career, we recognize how that career was shaped by external more than by internal forces. Until long after his inaugura- tion, he never proposed nor counted upon war. He proposed only to hold, occupy and possess the pla- ces and the property which were within the exclu- sive jurisdiction of the United States. And yet he waged to a successful issue a civil war the most tremendous which history records. Nor had he ever proposed or inclined to interfere with slavery in the States. He proposed only to check its spread and suppress its existence in places within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irederal Union. And yet he proclaimed liberty to three millions of American slaves, and prepared the way for nniversal emancipation. Without disparagement, then, of his loftiness of motive and fullness of achievement, and without detraction from the measure of his glory, may we not recognize in his career a Direction Supreme above the devices or conceptions of man, and seeing thus how a Divine Hand has led us through these paths of trial, yield confidingly to its guidance in all future years. Standing, as we do, by the open grave of Abraham Lincoln, we seem to have taken now a new depart- ure in our history. The cannon which fulminated the thunders of rebellion against the walls of Fort Snmter were the signal-gans of a revolution which, turned back upon itself by the glorious uprising of a free people, has advanced, on its swelling tide, the cause which the rebellien was intended to destroy. Thus far the moral defeat of treason has been eexemnlary and overwhelming. The vigor and persistency of the People, their energies in the greategtexigeucieg of a nation, while the tremendous and dreadful behests of war summoned them to duty, have been* fully vindicated. We had outlived the weary peri- od of delays acd military

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 discouragement; through many di6iippointments,and out of many disasters, we tad risen to the loftiest and sunniest hights of assured, decisive and overwhelming victory in the field of arms. Four years, to a single day, had in- tervened while this work of the Americaa people was going on, when, upon the anniversary of the attack on Sumter, the Flag of the Union, borne back ith pomp and pageant, wag restored, with becoming ceremony, to its citadel, by the same hands vihich had been compelled by superior fjrco to strike it in token of surrender. Abraham Lin- cciln had been spared and sustained through all thsse weary months and years, to witness the ma- jestic triumphs, the conquering marches of oar resistless armies, to hear the last wail of disloyal discontent in the loyal States, to receive the united congratulations of the acclaiming millions of his countrymen, to reap a sweeter and richer reward of deliverance and victory than had ever been en- joyed by any ruler of the sons of men. His career tloscd at a moment when its dramatic unity was complete, and when his departure from life on earth was the apotheosis, the'translation, by which, defended against all the shocks and mishaps of Time, he passed on to Immortality. '* Besides this Duncan Hath bonie his facultif s bo meek, hath been Ho clear 11 his great ollice. that his virtues "Will pltad like angels, liumpei-tonencd, against The deep darunatioa of his tiluncr off; And pity, like a naked new b^rn babe, StrldlnB the blast, cf heaven's cherubim hMsed Upon the sigh'less couriers of the air, .Shall blow the liorrid deed in every eye, That tears shall dro'ffn the wind." But, to us who survive, to the country for whose honor and deliverance he laid down his life, there remain the task and the opportunity now more clearly revealed. The barbarism which originated treason and rebellion against a Government free, united and paternal; which hunted and hanged political dissenters; starved to death its prisoners of war; made war as well through robbers and in- cendiaries as by organized armies; rewarded per- juries ; and desecrated the remains of the fallen brave; the barbarism which made human slavery the God of its idolatry, has passed on te the final demonstration of its character in the logical devel- opment of its history, until it has crowned its own infamy and challenged the burning hatred and contempt of all human nature, by adding this as- sassination, this parricide, to the blistering record of its crimes. From this hour may the men of Massachusetts rise up to a new and lo.'tier resolu- tion. With the fall of Sumter we dedicated our- selves to the overthrow of treasen, to the suppres- sion of rebellion, and the restoration of tha h9uor and power of the Union. In the appeal to Force, Treason and Rebellion have been conquered. As an organized military power, the confederacy of traitors has practically teased to be. But ther now remains to us yet another and perhaps a greater labor. On the ruins of that social despo- tism, over the fallen altars of that barbarism in whose despairing death-throe was planned and ex- ecuted this dastardly assassination, by the side of the bleeding form of all that was mortal in that magnanimous Father of his People, let us pro- nounce the vows of a new obedience. " Powers depart, Possessions vanish, and opinions change, 1 And passions hold a llncLuating seat; But by tlie stoittis of circumstance unsliaken, And subject ntitlier to eclipse nor wane. iJuty exists "' Older, law, freedom, and true civilization, must jiise into life all over ihe territory blasted by des- potism, barbarism and treason.

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 to give expression t* the feelings of the citizens on the tragic death of President Lincoln, was an occasion of great solemnity, interest and significance. The hall was densely thronged, and hundreds who desired could not obtain entrance. The galleries were mostly occupied by ladles. There were also very many in the body of the hall. Gilmore's Band was pres- ent, and performed at intervals during the after- nton. decorations in the hall. The hall was appropriately but simply decorated in the sombre emblems of mourning. In the centre of the ceiling was the United States coat of arms, from which radiated to the top of the supporting pillars of the galleries strips of white and black cloih. Heavy festoons of white and black extended around the balconies and depended from the cap- itals of every column, looped up with rosettes and tassels. Upon the front of the rostrum was the National eagle, surrounded with flags in mourn- ing. The chandeliers on either side were clothed in black, and at the base of each was a National standard furled, with the proper adornments. On either side of the clock, on the face of the front balcony, are tablets inscribed as follows: "Abraham Lincoln, lOtli President of the United States." Bom Jnly 12,1809.

They begun with prayer by Rev. Dr S. K. Lothrop, which was a most fervent and impressive invocation. At the conclusion of the prayer " Pleyel's Hymn " was performed by the band, after which Mayor Lincoln made the following address : ADDRESS OF MAYOR LINCOLN. Fellow Citizens : The last time the citizens of Boston assembled within these walls, it was to give an expression of the exulting joy of a happy people; to-day we meet, bowed down by a common affiiction, seeking comfort and consolation from each other, in that depression of spirit whioi every heart feels. Yesterday we went up to our several houses of worship, and before the altar of Almighty God, gathered those lessons of resignation for our- selves, and that confidence in the wisdom of the great Dispenser of events, which it is the mission of our holy religion to inspire; to-day we meet in the accustomed place for the great gatherings of the people, to pay our feeble tribute to the memory of the distinguished dead, and to renew our vows of unfalteiing fidelity to onr country in this hoar of its extreme peril. The death of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, who had been set apart as Its ruler by the free suffrages of its citizens, always awakens the most tender sympathies and the profoundest regrets; how much more so in the present crisis of our national affairs, when the events of the last four years are so fresh in enr remembrance. The hand that guided the Ship of State through the perils of the past, we fondly trusted would remain at the helm until all the danger was over, and gentle breezes wafted its course over calm seas. It is not my province, fel- low-citizen.", to furnish the fitting words which will give an expression of the scaiimentsof tills as5o:a- bly. There are those present who will S!>eik of the career oxri services of thoUmeated fl.>>J, and of flie exi^eur-irs in which tho cuuntry is u:i-,v placed. My dtity is performed, when, in canto- Dane* with the action of the City Council, yon are invited to participate In the proceedings of this meeting, and are tbns able to testify in an official form to the world the feelings of the citizens of Boston on the most solemn and memorable event in the history of the

Chandler was then introduced to read the following series of resolutions, which he prefaced with some appropriate remarks: Mr Chandler then read the following resolutions: The citliiens of Boston, in Faneuil Hall assembled, desire to bo-iv in humble and trus-.iug submission to the Divine 3'tovidence by whose permission our beloved and honored thief Magistrate has been removed by violence from the scene of his earthly Ubors; and Ihev earnestly pray for the ability to restrain all feelings of revenge " I'or It is written. A'engeance is mine. I will repay, saith the Lord.'' Resolved, That tlie character of Abraham Lincoln is one of the richest gifts ever bestowed upon a free people. An enlightened statesman, whose highest ambi ion was the hap- piness ot Ids country; a firm magistrate, who knew how to temper justice with mercy; a wis3 ruler, who listened to fii i counsels of others, but alwavs acted upon liis own con-ic- tions of duly, be stands to dav, in the allocti^ of all loyal ci'izens, not second to Washiogton hiuselt. Resolved, Tbatwc tender to ttie family of the deceased our earnest sympathy in the dealh of a husband and father whose kindness ol heart, purity of intention, gentleoes?. lirinness and sincerity are as tamiuar as liouaehold words to tills whole people. Resolved, That while we do not attribute to the mass of rebel citizens any complicity with a crime so eioriniusas the one we now deplore, we are firmly convinced that it is ihe direct result of tne principles Inculcatea by their lead- ers, and of a state of society that ts ulteriv opposed to the doctrines ol enlightened morality and iiicoasistent with tlie pure precepts of the <'lii-istiun rellglou. That wo cannot but regard the holding ol human beings in brutal ignorance and hopeless slavery, the unprovoked resort to an armed resistance to tho Constitution und las of the country, the delioeratc starving of prisoners taken in war, the concerted attempt to burn the hotels of a Urge city, filled with women and children, the brutsi assault upon a Senator at his seat in the capitol, and flnallv. the assassina- tion ol the chief m.agistrate of tiie country, and the attempted murder of the princijial. xecutive officer, wiih every circum- stance of cowardice and atrocitj-, arc so ra.any kindred evi- ^cnctsof a slate of ignorance, brutality and wiciedness which have no parallel in the history of a civilized people. Resolved, That we now aad here avow our determination, on this sdemn occasion, to preserve the rnion of our fathers, to maintain the Constitution ot the United - States, to enforce tlic laws of the country, tG remove every vistage of t-arbaiism from our borders, to the end that universal freedom, tnligliteued civilization, pure morality, and the sublime principles of the Chrisuan religion may everywhere prevail: and to this we do here, in this temple of liberty where our fathers for generations have assembled, pledge our lives, our lortunes. and our sacred honor, invoking the aid andgtidaucc of Himin whose hands are the destinies of nations, Hon. Charles G. Loring was then introduced and addressed the meeting at length. SPEECH or HON. MR LORINO. Eon. Charles G. Loring was introduced, and ad- dressed the meeting at coasiderable length. He alluded in beginning to the solemnity of the occa- sion which had brought them together, and thought it good to be present. It was but a short time since they had assembled to pay a fitting tribute to the orator, scholar and statesman so suddenly removed from our midst, and still later they had assembled in the hall to exchange congratulations upon our national triumphs. And now the nation's exulta- tion

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 and joy are changed into sorrow and appre- hension. The father of his country is stricfeeu down the minister of State, who has conducted the foreign diplomacy of the nation with such un- rivalled skill and lofty patriMism, has been laid low, perhaps never to rise again-both have fallen by the hands of rebel assassins one in the placaof the public assembly, and the other in the privacy of his sick chamber, and perhaps then on his dying bed. The nation stands aghast at the unexampled atrocity of the crime the civilized world will tremble and grow pale as it listens to the story. A blow has been stricken upon law. humanity, civilization, and every sacred seatiment of the human heart, which causes the whole moral world to tremble to its foundations. A careful and appreciative eulogv w.",s then pro- nounced upon the late Pacsident. If there be any- thing, said Mr Loring, niarvelloas in personal his- tory, if ihere be anything in the history of Hati-jns betokening Divine intervention in the appointment of their ruler, if it be manifest that an especial Providence raistd up George Washington to be the founder of the Union and the father of hi-* country, I hold it to be no less marvellous and a no less signal proof of such interposition, that Abraham Lincoln was appointed to be the ruler and guide of this nation through the perils of tbis gigantic re- bellion ; to be the father of his country in her new birth to a Union founded on still broader principles of law, freedom and humanity, that she may henceforth take her place among the chief of na- tions with no blot upon her pure escutcheon, and no stain upon her name as " the land of the brave and tho home of the free." After passing in review Mr Lincoln's fitness for the office he filled, characterizing him as a true representative of the people, and saying that his great talent was his preferred, unobtrusive and quietly exercised authority, the speaker proceeded to consider the origin of the conspiracy and the spirit by which it had been animated. " Where this conspiracy orig- inated, and bow far it extended, whether it was in pursuance of a plan concerted by the rebel leaders, or under their auspices, or whether it was confined to a few desperate men only, is not, and perhaps never may bo satisfactorily ascertained. Nor so far as our future safety or duty is concerned, is it material. Unhappily for them, the whole course of conduct of the instigators and leaders of this re- bellion has been notoriously such as to render their participation or connivance m a crime like this neither impossible nor incredible. It is of hardly less, if any inferior atrocity, though of more dra- matic conspicnonsncss, than many others of which they have been guilty. The whole tone of public sentiment with which they have long and systematically labored by every species of l&lsehood and malignity to poison and em- bitter the heart of the South aeainst the North; the rewards offered in their public prints for the heads cf Union officers; the atrocious threats and anathemas which they have, in public and in pri- vate, poured out upon the heads of our soldiers and people, the no longer questionable, deliberate and fiendish destruction of the lives of thousands and tens of thousands of our brethren, their pris- oners of war, by lincering deaths from cold and starvation; the almost universal cruelty with which others were killed, maimed or insulted, and even by women accounting themselves ladies, all too plainly indicate a deadly rancor and hatred nursed and encouraged toward the people of the North, of which this crime is nothing more than the natural fruit, and for which these insti-

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 calors and leaders are justly accountable. It is but the natural culmination of the ferocity against the North so long cultivated as a Southern virtue." Mr Loring concluded as follows: "Fellow-citi- zens, One of the grandest, if nottheeublimest, of the manilestations of the character of eur people ia the vicissitudes of tbis terrible conflict, has been the relijious faiih which they have maaifested alike in its successes and its reverses. Indeed, it seems hardly possible in eoutemplation of the woa- derful course of events, all, however, seemingly adverse some may have for a time appeared, work- ing togetner fo produce the grand result, ia the near approval of which we now rejoice, and in view of the final solution of that dread problem of human s'avery which had so long baffled the wisdom of the wisest and seemed hopeless even in the eyes of Christian faith, it seems, I say, hardly pos^ffde to doubt the immediate hand ol GjJ as guiding us through tbis wilderness of crime and suffering. May we not hope that the fervent faith of our fathers has descended, with their love of freedom and energy cf character, to their children, and that we may icanifest ourselves to be, as they were, a God-trusting and God-abiding people. God his permitted his chosen servant, after fulfiUment of tbe glorious mission upon which he was sent, to depart without iingtring pain, in the zenith of his fame, amidst the afiections of a griwfal people, and with the tears of a great nation tViiinj on his grave, to take his place above, with Him upon V hem he trusted, and his place in the eternal memory of ages, by the side of the Father of his Country. Let us humbly believe that His guard- ian care will still be over us, and that tbis dire ca- lamity, now so fearful in our eyes, may bs made influential in the restoration of our country. One other duty awaits us, my frit nds, to which I must al- lude before relieving your patience. It is that which we owe to him who now, under the Consti- tution, has besome the Chief Magistrate of the nation. He was chosen by us to the position whica now makes him the executive head of the Union, because of our confidence in his ability and patri- otism ; because of his meritorious services in up- holding the Government in circumstances of pe- culiar personal peri), and his unquestionable fideli- ty to the cause of the Union. Let us, then, readily and cheerfully pledge to him the .same uuited and cordial support given to his predecessor, in fall tonfldence that lie will deserve |it, and so fulfil the solemn duties of his exalted station as to enrol his name, also, among the distinguished benefac- tors of his country." The band then performed "Peace, troubled soul." HON. MR rice's speech. Hon. A. H. Rice was the next speaker intro- duced, and paid an eloquent tribute to the patriot- ism, honesty and fidelity of the late President, during whose Administration we had acquired a knowledge of ourselves, and demonstrated that the country lives not in men, but in institutions and laws, so that we now stand stronger than when the sun first shone on our flag. We should not waste cur time in tears or vain regrets, but should gather up onr strength for the living present, and address ourselves to the future. We have an example of the manner in which the nation can lose its chief, and yet go on by succession with- out shock, and now let us give our undivided sup- port to Andrew Johnson, who, since his entry into public life, has faithfully supported our institu- tions, and met the machination* of treason every- where undaunted and unappalled. The band here performed "Rest, spirit rest." MR DANA'S SPEECH. Hon.

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 Richard H. Dana was then introduced. After cnaracterising, in fitting terms, the enormity of the crime which has thrown the nation into mourning, and invoking just punishment upon the guilty leaders of the rebellion and the abettors in the foul assassination, Mr Dana proceeded to urge the adoption of a conciliatory policy toward the mass of the Southern people, and to show the in- expediency of adopting extreme measures for the punishment of whole communities. Mr Dana's speech was an able effort and was well received. SINGING OP A HYMN. At the close of Mr Dana's remarks the audience joined in singing the hymn beginning " God bless oar native land, firm may she ever 8t*nd Through storm and night; When the wild tempests rave, Enler of winds ana wave, I>o thou our country save By thy great might," The exercises closed with the benediction pro- nounced by Rev. Dr Lothrop. \yfe aie under the necessity, for want of room, of very greatly abbreviating our report of the meeting, our reporters having made full notes of all the speeches. Action of the City Ciovernme nt. A special meeting of both branches of the City Government was held at 12 o'clock, M. yesterday, for the purpose of taking suitable notice of the death of President Lincoln. The halls of the re- spective branches were elaborately draped in mourning, IN BOARD or ALDERMEN. His Honor Mayor Lincoln presided, and imme- diately upon the assembling of the Board, he deliv- ered the following address: Mayor's Office, City Hall, > Bosros, AiT.li. 17,1865. S To the Honorable the City Council: Gentlemen: Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, expired at Washington on the morning of April 15, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock. The death of one so distin- guished, whose eminent services for the last four years have been so valuable to his country, and whose individual opinions and actions were con- sidered so vital to its future welfare, has filled the nation's heart with gloom. In the milst of the jubilant and excited feelings of a grateful people, bound to him with dearer ties than ever before in his career, his connection with them has been suddenly severed by the vio- lent hands of an assassin. The fresh joy of the re- cent glorious victories of our armies, securing, we trusted, peace and prosperity to a reunited coun- try, has unexpectedly been turned to mourning. The shouts of an exultant people are hushed, and the stern discipline of sorrow is once more to test their character and to prove their manhood. Called to the Chief Magistracy of the Nation at a time of unexampled trial, when the Union of our Fathers was threatened with disruption by degenerate sons, the loyal spirit of the country responded time and time again to his patriotic appeals. His talents and his practical virtues seemed to develope and strengthen with the new exigencies which^ called for their exercise; and at the moment when suc- cess was crowning our efforts, the great leader was summoned away, and his office, and Its great trusts, fall upon another. President Lincoln's ca- reer will ever be considered as one of the best illus- trations of the character aad nature of republican institutions. He was emphatically a man of the people. Born in an humble condition, he was never tempted to rise by a sordid ambition for plsce; butyethe was ever ready to meet public re- spontiibilities, when the country demanded his ser- vice!. His merits as a statesman and patriot have been tested in the siost momentous period in the histcry cf the Republic. His integrity and worth as a man were seldom questioned; i^ad his memory will ever (it, held in bies'ijd

He has conducted us safely through the checkered career of the greatest civil war known in the history of the world; and at the time of his de- cease his clear and honest intellect was engaged upon those great and difflcult problems of states- manship which, after such a conflict appertai'a t3 a condition of peace, -i.t times when disaster befcU our arms, or confusion attended our councils, and the timiu were disposed to give up in despair, his faith never wavered in the final success of the cause new difficulties aroused new enefgies-and rely- ing upon the patriotism of the people, he moved on with a resolute will, in the work which Provi- dence had placed in his hands for the salvation cf the nation. The great responsibilities of his posi- tion he bore with complacency and good humor. His physical frame, which was developed in early manhood, fitted him for the unparalleled labors of his public trust: and his tragic death was caused by that fell spirit of tre.ison and dialoy.iity, v.aicU, had it not been for his elforts, might likewise have been the death of the nation. 'The Republic his lost its chief oflicer; every patriot feels that he has lost a personal friend. We, finite beings, cannot fathom the wisdom of the great calamity. He that ruleth over the nations of the earth must be our abiding trust. To the family and relations of the late President, our heartfelt sympathies and condo- lence should be tendered. In common with this whole nation this community jsins in the general sorrow; and in ordi-r that you may officially take that public notice of the event which the occasioa demand, I have called the members of the City Councils together in special session. Your wisdom will suggest the most appropriate manner for the city of Boston to honor the memory of the disting- uished dead. F. W. LINCOLN, Jr., Mayor. Alderman Messiiiger, Chairman of the Board, rose and said : ^ It is with no ordinary emotions, Mr Mayor, thit I rise to offer the resolutions jnertment to this occa- sion. The shock which our entire community ex- perienced at the reception of the astounding reports from Washington; the mingled feelings of grief, of horror, and of indignation, have scarcely yet sub- siaed; the repose and reflections incident to the Sabbsth may have served to calm or tranquilize, but only to bring forth a more realizing senss of the irreparable loss which the nation has sustained by the death of its Chief Magistrate. At the very time when the rebellion appears subdued, when the days of battle are numbered, and the horrors of war are to give way to the blessings of peace; when the restoration or reconstruction of the glorious Union is so evident, that groat and good man at the head of our nation, whose sound judgment and valuable counsels were so much relied on, is stricken down by the hand of an assassin. With- out further comment, I now submit the preamble and resolutions of a joint committee of the City^ Council: ^i'hereas, In the Providence of God the shadow of a great grief is now resting on the people of the United States, in the sudden death, by the hand of violence, of their beloved and honored Chief Mag- istrate, Abraham Lincoln, now officially announced to the City Council by His Honor the Mayor, there- fore. Resolved, 1. That in this early hour of the na- tion's bereavement and sorrow, the greatness of our loss cannot be adequately expresstu by words, but is evinced by the unspoken and unutterable language of the heart, and the tears of millions of our loyal countrymen, telling how

That we Uevuutly thank God for the work our loved and hoijored President was pt mitted to do for the nation, guiding it with con summate sagacity and skill through thj most diffl cult epoch of its existence; that we recognize es- pecially bis great wisdom and foresight in issuing his proclamation tf emancipation, whick will enti- tle him to the gratitude ot the lovers of liberty throughout the woria in all future ages, and give him a place in his country's fame beside that of the immortal Washington.' 3. That we accord to the family of our late Chief Magistrate our heartfelt and tender sympathy in their irreparable loss, assuring them that we casTr ish as one of our country's priceless legacies, the^ memory of him whom the nation mourns. .- -, ,,. . ,-,------^-.,. ----- i That the afmoinn-, attpmnt tn t,i',-A tl, nfn />4f"' ^''"> tempers the wirds to the shorn Limb,. ..rX Sr, vJf^; if o, L .?^P Ti '"^^.'P^ " f^ fcas from the "Beginning," the Pf;ori!crOR of tho " our feecretary of State, the Hon. William H...... Seward, and the assaults on the members of his household, have excited the liveliest interest for his preservation, and we trust that his life may long be spared, and his valuable counsels continue to benefit his country. 5. That we assurePresident Johnson of our oo)^- dial support m the great task devolved upon him by this horrible crime, entreating him to believe that the nation, instructed by this last bitter expe- rience, will sustain the Government more unitedly than ever in vigorous and effective measures for suppressing a wicked and unnatural rebellion, in meting out justice to all its abettors, and securing the amplest guaranties for peace in all coming time; trusting that he will not pause until every seed of its possible life is destroyed, and our whole country rests on the sure basis of full and impartial liberty. 6. That as a proper mark of respect, Faneuil Hall and the City Hall be draned in mourning for the period of thirty days, and'that on the day of the funeral ceremonies in Washington His Honor the Mayor order all public offices, schools and places of amusement to be closed, and request an entire suspension of business on tho part of our citizens. 7. That a delegation from the City Government, ccnslstipg of His Honor Mayor Lincoln, two Aldermen, the President of the Common Council ard three members, attend the obsequies of the late President of the United States. 8. That an eulogy on the character and semoes of Abraham Lincoln be pronounced before the City Government at an early day, and that a joint committee be appointed to make the necessary arrangements, 9. That a copy of these resolutions be sent 'o the President of the United States, the heads of the different Departments at Washington, aad to the family of the deceased. Alderman Kathau made a few appropriate re- marks. Aldermen Tyler and Dana were designited the Committee on the part of this Board to attend the funeral of the President. Aldermen Messinger, Tyler and Gaffleid were appointed the Committee of this Board to maija aiiamtements for the delivery of the eulogy men- tioned in the resolutions.

This latter is the most extensive and at the same time most tasteful display we have seen in the city. Their immense store is entirely and wholly decorated with black and white crape. Upon the outside laree folds of crape depend from the upper to the lower wyi*cws appropriately festooned over the main enirlhce. The goods have been removed from the two large windows and upon the inside they are thickiv hung in the emblems of mouriiing. In one of thiim is a miniature monument five or six feet in height, en- veloped in crape, having upon it the inscription, " Died April 15, 1865," surmounted with a wreath Of green leaves. In the other windoV'is a large portrait of the lamented Chief Magis- trate enveloped in black. In each window Ameri- can flags are tastefully displayed. Inside long lines of crape are extended the entire length of the store, looped up to the pillars, and around the bal- conies of the second story the same m.'jterial is ex- tended. The large mirrors upon either side of the spacious apartments are draped in white crane snrmounteS at each corner with black rosettjs. At the rear of the store upon a black ground wjrk is the inscrinticn "Abrahaip Idgcoln, died April loj 1865," and midway upon the face of one of tue bal- conies is the inscription "The nation mourns his loss." The store was thronged yesterdaf by- crowds of people v/ho could but admire the elegant simplicity and at the same time the entire appro- priateness of the decorations. It is but just to say that they are the work of Col.Beals. On Court Street Messrs S. S. Holton, C. Cope- land, J. C. Haynes, S. Klous & Co., Shelton & Checver, A. N. Cook, Jacobs & Deane, A. W.

Field, Esq : Dear Sir: The ladies and genlemen of the Dramatic Comnany of the Boston Museum, while feeling deeply', as citizens, the ereat loss sustained by tho nation in the death of President Lincolrj, cannot but express their satis- faction that you have, in accordance with the uni- versal sentiment, closed the establishment until after*the funeral rites of the illustrious deceased, thus enabling them to add their share of respect .ind mcurniLg to the general grief. At the sama time they feel that they would be wanting in gen- erosity and honorable feeling, did they allow you to bear the whole pecuniary loss necessarily at- tendant on an act so gratifying to their.sympathies in this saa hour. We therefore respectfully resien onr salaries for the period during which the Museum may be closed. Sincerely, L. R. Shewell, ) Committee R. F. McClansi.v, S- of the Frank H.\rdenberoh, j Company. BOSIOH MCSKCJt, X BobioN, April 17; 1865 > Messrs L. K. ShcwcU, K. F. McClannin, and Frank Hardea- bcrgh, Committee: Gentlemen I note of this aate. Aside from all considerations of personal inter- est. and certainly none such should influence us i-i5"ihis hour of our Country's terrible bereavement, its contents have afforded me the deepest grati- fication. Representatives of aprofession that caters to the amusement of a community, it is eminently fitting that we should be among the firs: to respect any great pnblic grief, and to the practical maul- fettation of such a sentiment no sacrifice would stem too great. I thank you, gentlemen, and through you, the ladies and gentlemen of the Company, for this prompt, generous and, may I add, entirely un- -soliciied expression of feeling, and am proud of your cooperation in such testimonial of regard as we are enabled to pay the memory of tha illus- trious dead.

TUs case, which has occupied the Court for nearly a weelc, was finished and a verdict for the appellee, sustaininlpg the will was rendered, the jury not being out more than ten minutes. The will w-i,s contested on the ground of the in- sanity of the testatrix and also because

Boston Post, [newspaper]. April 18, 1865. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lprbscsm.scsm1280 undue influence was exercised by tho plalntiif, the sole devisee. The latter ground however was waived. I he Judge's charge was quite brief. Ho slated that it was not the province of the Court to mike wills, but merely set tliem up when properly made. The will was to be taken as a whole, and if it was such a one as a tesia'or was likely to male, it was not to set it aside, alihoiigh the testa- tor was unminoful of those near to him by relation. Tiic case had beeu before the Probate Court and now tame to this Court, or the Supreme Court of Pro- bate for final decision. The first thing to ronsider is the capacity of the testatrix. A testator to make a valid iviii m-,5 8tbeof full a,^e and sound mind. The la-iv deftnes what is a sound mind. The law does not require ft high grade of intellect in a person to maso a valid will. If ha knows tne raiureofpropertv, tn!.t beiijtendsby the m.ikiog of a will to dispose of propert.-, if he unaerstands the relations of other persons to himself and who are tne heirs at law, this is all that Is necessary for testsmeptary capacity. Persona may be insane on ceitam topics, luay have a monomania, an.J jet be perfectly undisturbed in min 1 as to every other th'urf. Such persons may make a yalid will. There are strong reasons for btlieving that one of the Cblef Justices of this Court was under a monomania for many months before bis death, yet his judgment in i ther matters was sound and re)i:-.b c and he perlormed all the datles ot his office. Per- sons may also be insane at different periods wid still at lucid Intfcivals be capable of making a will. Tne Jury are than only to take care that at the time of the eieoutiou of Ihe will the mind was acting in its normal state. The only is.^ue for the 3ury was whether Mrs Oliver in October, ISM, was ot sound mind. The burden of pro.f is upon those woo undertake to set up the will thit ai the time of Ihe execution of il.e will the testatrix was sane. The pref-utoption of law is that the party is sane, and the formal proof of the will having been afTirmcd, the con- teslants must overcome that presumption, if. \V. Paiue and B.

This was an action to recover for the loss of a trunk and its conlents valued at $350. The plaintill ha-l taken passage In the d. fepoants cars on his way to California, and placed the trunk iu charge of tae proper person, but upon arrival at Bos- ton itcould not be found. The detendms bring into Coui-f the trunk and contents, and tender the same to him, and claim that he is obliged to accept them, and contend that the onlv damage he can claim is lor any delemion he may have been put to by tiie loss. The piaintifi' claims that Inasmuch ss he was compelled to buy a new ou.fir, he is no- bound to ac- cept the tender but can claim the value of the articles. The case was tiled so far as putting ir, the evidence, but It beinj a somewhat novel state of facts, the Court before the argu- meut ano charge desired to examine the law relatb.g to the case. F. W.
