Four yearsago yesterday our flag was stricken down at Sumter by the hands of national assassins. YesterdayAbraham Lin- coln fell by the hand of an assassin, actuated and impelled by the same unholypurpose. For four years he guided and led a loyal but af- flicted people through the wilderness ofRebel- lion, and brought chem within sight of the promised land. From plsgah's xop he saw, butwas not permitted to enter it with the people whom he loved. Would that he could have been sparedhut it has been ordered otherwise. May he who In this hour of National bereavement is called towear his mantle prove, under the guidance of Providence, a worthy successor." .ludge Orier thensaid that the Court would be adjourned till Monday week. Judge Cadwalader announced that theUnited States District Court would stand adjourned till next Friday, that being the longest periodto which, under the or- ganization of the Court, it could be adjourned. In the District Court, Judges


Stroud and Hare, ftfter brief remarks by George Junkin, Bsq., a motion waa made th.at the Courtad- journ. Judge Stroud stat!d that to do otherwise than grunt th.is motion would do violence tohis own leelingH and the sentiments of the whole com- munity. Nothing could have been more un-locked for than the appalling event which hawi induced this motion. Tomeditate the death of tlielrplaces of business on the day of the funeral.

The resolution and preamble were unani- mously adoi>ted.The following named gontlemen were appointed as a committee of conference: Messrs. Vancleve,Spering, Freeman, Barlow and Ann .strong. In vJommon Council Mr. Stokely, President, stated thatCouncils had been called together to take some action In reference to th.e death of PresidentLincoln. Mr. Harper moved that a committee of flve mêmibers from each chamber bo appointed,for the pui-poê of taking such action as may be appropriate on th.ib lamentable occasion. Adopted.The President appointed Messrs. Harper, Marcer, Willits and Nicholb the committee on the partof Common Council. Mr. Willits offered a resolutioni that the Commissioner of City Property beauthorized and directed to have the State House and other public buildings draped in suitablemourning. A motion was made to Umi^the amount of expense to ftSOO. Mr- Wolbert said thatthis was no time to talk about amounts to be expended. Philadelphia desired to do justice to thelate President of the United States. This is the honr for men to cry aloud, we are and will be a freepeople. Let the Commissioner of City Property go on with his work of mourning, and keep it up untilpeace is declared, and then we can have a bright illu- Mr. Krupp opposed any motion limiting theamount for carrying out the resolution. Mr. Willits said it would be impossible to name the cost, asth.e materials to be used had increased very much in price. The ameadment was withdrawn, and there- solution postponed. The resolutions from Select Council were taken up and passed. The .âmecommittee, appointed preTlonsly, were selected to act under the resolution of Se- lect Council. Thesad news waa announced at the Jewish Synagogue, in Franklin street, above Fifth, by Mr. A. T. Jones,President of the congregation, after which the Rev. Isaac Leeser made an eloquent address upon thedeath of our chief magistrate. A suitable prayer was offered up by Rev, S. Morals, in the synagogue,Seyenth street, above Arch.

The Nâtion't LossHow the A>w* was He- eiv94 in rhitadelphia tht City in Mourning. After a week of rejoicing, borderingon frenzy; after tiin hosannas of praise in behalf of our victorious armies; and while the whole cityNras ablaze with excitement over the approach- tug illumination to commemorate the nation'sdeliverance', came the news of the nation's loss. iPho sad story was known to but few persons onFriday night. Outsideof the newspaper offices it did not spread very far, but with the break of daythe newsboy's cry awoke the people to a knowledge of the tragedy. It waa with difh- oulty that mencould be made to believe the tory. That such an event could occur at the capital of the nation, washard to comprehend, and men and women took counsel together at early dawn, and with tearfuleyes and sad- dened countenances, prayed that there might be some mistake. Soon the peoplefound their way to the heait of tht city to learn the full extent oi the tragedy. AVork was suspendedin workshop aud factory: counting houses and "broker's offices were closed; merchants closed Mielrstorci, and everybody crowded to the jnewspapev offices to catch ttie first announcement of ajjossible improirement in the Presi- dent's condition, Past iolitical differences were forgottfti in theuniversal sorrow, and men discnssed the event AS a national humiliation and hame, and not as theloss of an individual or the representative of political party. Sadness was visible Stk every face, andmen gathered m groups to talk with bated breath and recount the noble au&lities of Mr. Lincoln, andexpress the hope tat his life would be spared to witness the flniiI triumph of the cause which hadfallen to his lot to guide. But when the Official Gazette put at rest all hopes by announcing the deathof Mr. Lincoln, the grief of the people was manifestin all directions. Strong and brave men wept asthey read the news, and the gleam of r: ge was ea to sparkle in the eyes of the more excit- able. Thecrowd on Chesnut street grew larges- minute after minute, until by ten o'clock the thoroughfare wasalmost impassable. Two qpontlemen convcrtiiug together were sure to at. tract notice, and collecta crowd of listeners eager to learn the sentiments of the speakers or perhaps to gather a crumb ofcomfort. Busi- fiesa was suspended everywhere. Doors and vrlndow^^ were closed, and within auhour after the announcement of Mr. Lincoln's death Ches- nut slr.'et was draped in inourning. Heavyxaasses of black were suspended from every bonding. The newspaper offices set the example. Attlie State House the preparations for the illumination were at once suspended, and up- Iiolstororfiwore set to work to hang the front of the building in mourning. The Custom-House, the Poat-offlce,


and the Mint followed. At the fooms of the Press Club the arrangements for tht decorations for to-night were suspended, and a birriedly constructed device, suited to the oocasiou, was placed inposition. Time did AOt permit ot a more elaborate display. The hotfds wore quickly draped in black,and in a abort time the city, whicn had but twelve hours Ibefore been gaily decorated with hunting,was now clothed iu the emblems of sorrow. The "Onion I^eagne House aud the House of the Na-tional Union Club were appropriately draped, and the flags placed at half-mast. Most oZ the iMkukswere ai^o placed in mourning. On the upper part of Chesnut street the white marble buildings,hung in black, presented a eat appearance. Many of the stores, although closed for business, hadthe display windows opened and la them were arrangt^d portraits of Mr. Lincoln, with suitablesurroundings and .groupings of the emblems of mourning. Nor was this confined to the principalbuildings, or to the main streets. Everywhere the people en- deavored to give some outward tokenof their tfriet Dwellings were draped in mourning. In tsome places the black loids were bung fromwindows, over doors, or across the building. Balconies were draped, i^hutters bowed and raped.At a number of residences the portrait of Mr Lincoln, heavily bung In black, was dis-^ played atparlor windows. Everywhere, tht- flags were at hall mast and knotted with crape. To add to thegenereleolemnity, the State House bell commenced tolling,and in compliance with suggestion by theChief Engineer of the Fire l)epertmeut, the Engine bells also soun


teach us a lesson we had almost forgot, in the disposition, too much manifested recently in highquarters, to deal leniently with the rebels of the South, whose hands are still red with the bloodof oar kinsmen, that, though there is such a thing as mercy, there is also justice, which should bemeted out to these men, some of whom should hang. It is said in Holy Writ that 'they that take upthe Eword .ihiill perish by the sword." He said tttat he had determine


heard the day before had been turned into mourning for the loss of one who held as high a place iuthe esteem of his countrymen as he did ; in the councils of the nation. A grief more sincere he didnot believe had ever been manifested by a people at the loss of a ruler. The speaker then referredto the fact that the President was struck down ut a period when he had reasontooxpectcomparativeease, when the rebellion was nearly at an end, and the propecU of peace were brightening everyday, He cloêa by hoping that his successor would ?rove worthy of the great trust confided to him,hefoliowiiig prearnble and resolutions were then offered; ^ ,^ * , *,. Whereas, Abraham Lincoln,President of the United States, has been assassinated; and the death ofso good a man, so pure apatriot, and so efficient a Chief Magistrate, at this juncture of our national troubles, has smotheredthe sounds of joy tbat but yesterday were heard m all the loyal States of the Union. Therefore, bo itResolVed, That Independence Hall and these .:bamber8 be draped in mourn- tug for six mon'.Uft,and the members of Council attend his funeral in a body, andthatthe Mayor be requested to issuea proclamation, calling lipOD theQitiateasandftU corporaUoQ* to close dastard assassination ofits Chief Magistrate. He denounced the crime in unmeasured terms, and drew such a vivid pictureof the awful deed and its dire consequences as to make a marked impression on his hearers, andaffect many of them even to tearo. His remarks throughout were listened to with breathless at-tention, and in conclusion, he exhorted his hearers to offer up their fervent prayers un- ceasinglyfor the country in this her hour of deep affliction. S'^cond Prsabyterian Church was tastefullydraped. The sermon wâs preached by Dr. J. H. Jones followed by appropriate remarks by DaShields, the pastor. At Holy Tiinlty (Epis- copal) Church, Rev- Dr. Brooks preached morning andaftern(jpn. The Reformed Dutch Church, Ninth and Filbert, was heavily draped. At St. Lukt^'s Church,Dr. Howe preached an eloquent sermon. Everywhere the churches were thus decorated. In theevening the First Presbyterian (^Jhurch waa crowded, in answer to a call for the people to comeand "pour out before God the feelings awakened by the varied providences of this eventful week."Themeetiughadbeencalled for thanksgiving and praise, but the terrible event of Friday night hadchanged the programme. Rev. Albert Barnes presided, and after the opening religious exorcisesannounced that, owing to illness. George H. Stuart could not be present. Addresses were madeby a number of delegates of the Christian Commission, in refe- rehcî not OTily to the nationalcalamity, but al.'fo in regard to the work ot the Commission. At the New Street Lutheran Church, theser- vices yesterday were of a very imposing kind. The church was tastelully draped with black, andsolemn funeral dirges were performed. Owing to Easter Sunday being set apart to the receptionof church members, (of whom thirty- four were received), no regular sermon was preached. Thepastor. Rev. E. W. Hutter, however. In an impromptu address, feellnrly commented on the absorbingevent of the day. He compared the taking away of President Lincoln, at this critical juncture, to there- moval, by Divine command, of Moses, on the very eve of the entrance of the hosts of Israel intothe Promised Land. And again, he compared it to the horrible maityrdom of John the Baptist, atthe period of the Inauguration of our holy Chrii?tianity. Both these events had been characterized


by an awful and sublime mysteriousness, Neither had in the least re- larded the progress audestablishment of the Church, So would itbenot


to have been of intemperate habits, and of arovlng, unsettled disposition. Being a native of Mary-land, he spent much of his time ip Baltimore and at Washington, and, since the commencement ofthe rebellion, has been a violent partisan of the South, and bitier in his denunciation of the offi- cersof the National Government. So unguarded was he in his expressions, that to a gentleman in thiscity, it la said he intimated his desire or intenUon to take the life of the President. Though wild andreckless, he bad nothing of the mad- man in him. Of late he had turned his attention to .*^eculatlnm oil stocks, and .la ropreadnted to have made and lost money by it. Booth was familiar with Ford'sTheatre, Washington, he having played an engagement there. Chesnut street-was thronged allday yesterday by persons viowing the habiliments of frief displayed from almost every building,he dwelling at Twentieth and Chesnut, pur- chased for General Grant, attracted the atten- tionof thousands, in conaequenco of the beau- tiful display of flags, and the taste manifested in thedraping of the front, from the roof to the basement. Stabbing FrobabU fftwatcWe Early yester-day morning a quarrel took place at the tavern of Samuel Walliugton, Front and Chri&tiau streets,between the proprietor and Samuel W. Knox, a sailor in the United States service. Tile latter, it isalleged, struck Wallington, upon which he stabbed Knox with a knife, in fl icting a dangerous, andprobably fatal wound, the knife penetrating the left lung. After the wound had been dressed at adrug store iu the neighborhood, Kuox waa carried to the Penn- sylvania Hospital. Wallington wasarrested and committed by Aid. Carter to await the result of the injuries of Knox. OutraytousAsiault. A. parly cf yonng men went, on Friday evening, into the saloon of Mr. Shirable, Eleventhand Fitzwater streets, and being provided with stones, commenced an assault upon the proprietoraud his sou and another person. The son had his skull fractured, and the father and the| otherman were much injured. It is feared that the son cannot survive. Four of the alleged parUclpantshave been arrested and committed for trial, on the charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill.Military Funeral. The funeral of the late Col. Wm.

Vt*8terday was emphatically a day of mouru- iginCamdeu. Thesudden announcement of le assassination of President Lincoln filled the people on Saturday withthe deepest sorrow, who at once com;nenfeed draping their residences with the emblems ofmourning, and by night, every street seemed as thougn the dark wing of death had visited them. Flaswere hung out and draped, and every insignia of sorrow was displayed. No business waa transacted,for no one could ti-ansact it, and multitudee walked up and doWu, some exhi- biting the wildestindignation, ana others, even men, shedding tears. In the afternoon, com- mittees were formed,to wait upon sttch as were alleged to have made disloyal speeches, ice,, and one or two personswere ordered to leave Camden at a specified time. Others were belftten and maltreated. On Sunday,the churches were all hung in mourning, the ceremonies were appropriate for the occasion, and allwere deeply impressive.

The following despatches were published in part of Saturday's issue of the Ledger: WhoWere the Assassins? Washihotox, April 15, 4:10, A. M. Jfayor General Diz, New ForA:. The Presidentcon- tinuos insensible and is sinking. Secretary Seward remains without change. Frederick Seward'sskull is fractured in two places, besides a severe cut upon the head. The attendant ia still alive, buthopeless. Major Seward's wounds are not dangerous. It is now ascertained, with reasonable cer-tainty, that two assassins were engaged in the horrible crime, J. Wllkoe Booth being the one thhtshot the president. The other Is a companion of his, whose name Is noHknown, The de- scription isso clear that ho can hardly escape. It appears front a letter found in Booth's trunk, that the murderwaa planned before the 4th of March, but fell througn then because the accomplice backed outuntil "Richmond could be heard from." Booth and his accomplice were at the livery stable al bixo'clock last evening, and left there about ten o'clock, or shortly before that hour, i It would seemthat for several days they have i been seeking their chance, but for some un- ; known reason it


w,as not carried into effect until last night. One of them has evidently made hia way to Baltimore;the other has not yet been traced. Edwiy M. StaTKton, Secretary of War.

Special Despatches to tlie Public Ledger.J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of the Presi- dent, passed last nightat 11>^ o'clock, over the EasternBranch bridge at the Navy Yard, Into Maryland. A reward of ten thousand dollars | for his arresthas been offered by the military , dt-partment here, and it is believed that he will ; be captured. Theprivate papers of Booth are i in the hands of the Attornpy-Gen^ral, and show that this conspiracyagainst the life of the Presi- dent existed before the 4ch of March last, but, for reasons not properat the present time to state, it fell through. The assassination, accord- ing to these papers, wasto have taken place on the inauguration day. Washington, Aprill3. 11.30 A.M. The last momentsof the President were very peaceful. He apparently suffered no pain, and It was only known thathe was dead by respiration ceasing altogether. The Rev Dr. Gurley, his pastor, was in attendance,and, as life was declared extinct, he offered up prayer, which was responded to by all present.Afterwards the reverend doctor offered up prayer for the relatives of the deceased. Mrs. Lincoln,Capt. Lincoln, Major Hay, and others, attended the death-bed of the President. Immediately afterthe death of Mr. Lincoln, the remaining members of the Cabinet, with the exception of SecretarySeward, held a meeting in the room where the corpse lay. The scene was solemnly impressive. Itis evidentthat others, beside Booth and Surratt, are in this fiendish plot, and that only by somemiscarriage the remaining members of the Cabinet were not murdered. The excitement In this cityia very intense, and all drink- ing-saloons are closed. As yet no outbreak has occurred, and n^e isfeared. IXAriOURATION OP ANDRlW JOHNSON. Washington, April 15, 12 o'clock M. The oath of officewas administered to Vice Presi- dent Johnson in his room at the Kirkwood House, All the Cabinetmembers were present; also, several Senators. INVBSTIOATION of THK MtTRD'Blt. SuperintendentRichards, upon examination of the theatre private box in which Mr. Lincoln was shot, says that theshot was fired by Booth through the door of the box. Booth first opened the door, and getting rangeof the President, closed the door and placed hta pistol against it and fired. Then rushing into the box,he cut with a large dirk Major Rathburn, who was the only male in the box with the President. It isbelieved that Booth took Rathburn for General Grant. Rathburn was cut severely on the arm, but theinjury inflicted ia not danger- Aa Booth jumped on the stage, he said besides ".yifi semper tyraymis,""The South la avenged." Jas B. Stewart, lawyer here, sat near the stage, aud as Booth regain^ hisfoot, Mr. Stew- art stan^-d to catch him. After some difficulty Stewart reached the stage and ran afterBooth. He believes that if the actors had not uninten- tionally, of course, got in hia way, he wouldhave succeeded in overtaking the assaeeln, but Booth, having often played in Ford's theatre, waswell acquainted with the stagti, and in his fiio-ht ran beyond the soenes so expertly that hH reachedthe bftCi^doQr %u


sides and dashed ont of the alley as quick as thought. Booth's hat, picked np in the theatre, hasbeen identified; also the spur which he dropped in his flight. This has been identified by the liverystable keeper where Booth hired hi^ horse. When Booth was asked by the stable keeper when hewould return, he replied, *^robably in two hours, perhaps never," Miss Harris, one of the daughtersof Senator Harris, w^as in the box in company with Mrs. Lincoln when the tragedy occurred. Mrs.I^n- coln says that she did not hear any pistol fired. This fact, together with the door of tht- privatebox bein: splintered on the inside, gives cre- dence to L theory that the shot was fired by Boothfroi.. the outside of the private box door, MissHarris makes the following statement: Nearly onehour before the commission of the deed the assassin came to the door of the borx* and lookedin to take a survey of the position of its occupants. It waa supposed at the lime tha^ it was eithera mistake or the exercise of an im- pertinent curiosity. The circumstance attracted no particularattention at the time. Upon his entering the box again. Major Rathbon arose and asked the intruderhis t>usiness. He rushed past the Mi^jor without making a reply, and placing his pistol close tothe President's head, actually in contact with it, fired, and in- stautly sprang upon the cushionedbaluster of the box, when he made a backward plnngo with his knife, aimed at the fac or breast ofMr. Lincoln. Major Rathbon, springing forward to protect the President, received the stab irrtiis arm.The murderer then jumped upon the stage and effected his escape. The man who stabbed SecretarySeward mounted his horse and rode away, t^honring ** Sic semp^'.r (yrawnnis / " as he sprang intothe saddle. Last evening, before the hour of performance at the Theatre, Hon. George Ashmun, ofMassa- chusetts, called upon the President on business. Mr, Lincoln told him that he was going tothe Theatre, "because," he said, "it is adver- tised that Gen. Grant and myself are to be present th.i8evening : and aa Gen. Grant has gone North, I shall go to the Theatre, in order not to disappoint thepeople, who will exi>ect to see one of ns at least." Ho invited Mr. Aiihman to accompany him to theTheatre, bur that gentleman had a previous engagement. Bcforo Mr. Ashmun j-etired, however,Mr. lancoln took his (Ashmun's) card, and wrote upon the back of It these words, which are the lastever penned by our late lamented President: " Allow Mr, Ashmun and friend to come in at 9 A. M.to-morrow. April 14th, 1865. "A. Lincoln." These lines were written about eight o'clock last evening,appointing ameeiingthis morning at an early hour for Mr. Ashman. The lifeless body of Mr. Lincolnwas borne into the White House. Mr, Lincoln, when shot, uttered no word or exclamation, but hishead fell upon his breast, and his brains began to oo:ie from a wound on the back part of his head,the ball haying entered in that direction, andpenetrating his brain. Booth's hat, as also his revolver,was picked np in the box. The wildest stories are afloat as to Booth's wealth, some say that he waaworth two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars, which had been paid him by Southern miscreantsto murder Mr. Lincoln ; others contend that Booth made this money speculating in oil for severalmonths Sast. He has been boarding at the National otel, where he has made no secret of his beingan ardent Southern sympathizer, and bitter rebel. He ia reported to have said yesterday morningthat "all his sympathies were with the South." All his talk for the last three moaJ^bs has indicated


that he would not hositate to dye his bauds in Northern blood. In crossing East- ern Branch Bridgelast night, Booth gave his right name in answer to questions, while his companion concealed his.Frederick Seward is not dead, as reported, yet little hope ia entertained of his re- covery.

The Republi- can publishes this afternoon the following startling document, which bearsdirectly upon the present plot to kill the officers of our government. It was published four monthsago in Northern papers, but at the time excited, no fears: " A Scheme to Murder President Lin-coln." The following appears in the advertis- ing columns of the Selma (Ala.) Dispatch: "One MillionDollars 'W'anted, to have Peace by the First of March." If the citizens of the Southern Confederacywill furnish me with the cash, or good securities for the sum of one million dollars, I will causethe lives of Abraham Lin- coln, William H. Seward, and Andrew John- son, to be taken by the flrst ofMarch next. Tills will give ua peace, and satisfy the world that cruel tyrants cannot live in a land ofliberty. If this is not accomplished, nuthmg wili be claimed beyond the sum of fifty thousand dol-lars in advance, which is supposed to be necessary to reach and slaughter the three villains. I willgive myself one thousand dollars towards this patriotic purpose. Every one wishing to contributo willaddress Box X., Oonaba, Ala- bama, December l, 1864. SOilK VV&TUSYl PARTIODLARS BB8PBCTINOTHB MURDBR. Washinoton, April 15, 12.45 P. M- Parties who saw Booth last Jeyening before heentered the theatre, say that before going in ^e went into the saloon adjoining the theatre,and drankhea v y of brandy. He entered the theatre by the front door, and was recognized as he passed in bvthe doorkeeper. Passing np into the dross circle, he walked in the direction of the President's privatebox, aud was seen standing near the small entry leading to that box. His manner did not apptjar inthe least excited, and it was only when he leaped upon the stage that his fi-iends were convincedtnat he could be guilty of such a deed! Booth ia a fine-looking fellow, about twenty-five years old.He is of raediuju height, fine ^featured, black-haired and black- eyed. As an actor he waa w^retched.and it was a matter of great mortification to him that he had not been able to win reputation as anactor. The pistol with which he shot the President is a Single-barreled, silver mounted Derringer.The ball made such a large hole in the Presi- dent's head that his attendant physicians were able,without difficulty, to put their fingers through the aperture. A Cabinet meeting la now in session,and it will be decided by them Inreferehce to the funeral ceremonies. One can hardly realize thecondition of thiscity. Men are shedding tears even upon the street, and everybody appears weigheddown by this great national calamity. There are no Secessionists here now. The tact that Booth isa Northern man has tended somewhat to allay the desire that this sin shonld be visited upon theSouth. Booth's friends say that he has always been like his father, half crazy, and that under theinfluence of fanaticism and liquor he committed the deed, believing that by the act he would makea hero of himself. Green Clay Smith, who was present at Ford's Theatre last night, repr^jsenls thescene as terribly tragic. He corroborates the account of the scene which I have already sent yon.As Boottf leaped from the box he held in his hand his dirk. Ho did not let himself down from the


box, but bounded from it like a deer, and in an instant he uttered his words of vengeance and wasgone. 1 o'clock p. M. An autopsy is now being held of the President's body. His face is very muchdiscolored by blood having settled in his head. His eyes are much swollen. His body was taken fromMr. Peterson's house where he died, in a mahogany coffin, covered with black cloth and lined withlead and white silk. Upon the silver plate is engraved: "Abraham lancoln, Sixteenth President ofthe United Spates. Born February 12, iSOfl. Died April 15, 1855." - It may not be intruding upon theprivacy of the White House to say that Mrs. Lit coin is In great agony of mind, but is surrounded bysym- pathizing friends. Poor little

The body of the late President has been laid out in the room known as theguests'room, in the Northwest w^ing of the Wliite House. It is dressed in the suit of black clothesworn bv him at his last inauguration. A placid sm'ile rests upon the features, and the deceasedseems to bo in a calm sleep. White flowers have been placed upon the pillow and over the breast.The remains of the Presi- dent will be laid in state in the east room on Tuesday, in order to give thepublic an oppor- tunity to see once more the features of him they loved so well. The catafalque uponwhich his body will rest, is to be placed in the south part of the East Room, and is somewhat similarin style to that used on the occasion of the death of President Harrison. Steps will be placed at theside to enable the public to get a perfect view of the face. The catafalque will be lined with fiutedwhitesatin, and on the outside it will be covered with black cloth and velvet. It Is understood thatthe funeral of President Lincoln will take place on Thursday next. Mr. Rev, Dr. Gurley, of New YorkAvenue Presbyterian Church, where the President and his family have been accustomed to worship.will doubtless be theofficiating clergyman. The remains will be temporarily deposited in a vault ofthe Congressional Cemetery, and hereafter will be taken to Mr. Lincoln'shome at Spring- field, III. Thefuneral car, which is being pro- pared for the occasion, is to be a magnificent affair. It is to be builton a hearse body, the extreme length to be fourteen feet. The body of the car will be covered withblack cloth from, which will hang large festoons of cloth, the sides and ends gathered and fastenedby large rosettes of white and black satin over bows of white and black velvet. The bed of the car, onwhich the coffin will rest, will be eight feet from the ground, in order to give a full view of the coffin,and over this will rise a canopy, thg support of which will be draped wit^ black cloth aud velvet. Thetop of the car will be decorated with plumes, and the car will be drawn by six or eight horses, eachled by a groom. SPECIAL MEETING OF THK CABINET. A special meeting of the Cabinet has been Inprotracted session this forenoon, at the Trea- sury department. THE MURDERER NOT ARRBSTED.Up to this time. 4 P. M.^ it has not been ascertained that the assassin of the President has beencaptured. This morning at the New York Avenge Presbyterian Church, which Mr. Llu- c.ol^'sd'amiiyattended, a crowd of persons as- Bemuled, anticipating thai the pastor, Rev, P. D. Gurley, D. I>.,would make some allusion to the great national calamity. The pulpit and chair opposite, with thelate President's pew, were divped in mourning. THE PLOT TO MUROBU THE WHOLE CABINET. Thestar extra says ; " Developments have been made within the past twonty-four hours, showingconclusively the existence of a deep laid plot on the part of a gang of conspirators, includingmeuiliHSrs of the Order of Knights of the Qoiden (Jircle, tomurder President Lincoln and his Cabinet.Wo have reason to believe that Secretary Seward received several months tince, au intimation from


Europe, that something of a very desperate character was to transpire at Washington, and it is morethan probable that theintimation had reference to this plot of assassination." THK CONSPIRACY. Thepickets encircling this city on Friday night, to prevent the escape of the parties who murdered thePresident and attempted to kill Secretary Seward aud his two sons, were flred upon at several pointsby concealed foes. Arrests of parties charged with the offeree will be promptly made. A number ofrebel officers, w^ho arrived here this morning by the mail l>oat from City Point, asked permissionto take the oath of allegiance, which request was not granted for the present, and they were com-mitted to the Old Capitol. Washington, April 15. To-day Surgeon General Barnes, Dr Stone, the latePresident's family physician, Drs. Crane, Curtis, Wood- ward, Toff, and other eminent medical men,performed an autopsy on the body of the Pre- sident. The external appearance of the face was thatof a deep black stain about.both eyes, otherwise the face was very natural. The wound was on theleft side of the head, behind, in a line with and three inches from the left ear. The course of the ballwas obliquely forward toward the right eye, crossing the brain obliquely a few inches behind the eye,where the ball lodged. In the track of the wound were found fragments of the bone which had beendriven forward by the ball. The ball was found imbedded in the anterior lobe of the west hemisphereof the brain. The orbit plates of both eyes were the seat of comminuted frac- ture, and the orbits ofthe eyes were |fllled with extravaeated blood. The serious injury of the orbit plates was due to thecentre coop, the result of the intense shock of so large a projectile, fired so closely to the head. Theball was evidenliy a Derringer, hand-cast, and from which the neck had been clipped. A shaving oflead had Ixjen removed Irom the ball in Its passage through the bones of the skull, and w&s foundin the orifice of the wound. The flrst fragment of bone was found tv-fo and a half inches within thebrain, the second aud larger fragment about four inches from the orifice of the wound. The balllay still further in advance. The wound was half an inch in diameter. The coffin of the Presidentmeasures in the clear six feet six inches, and Is eighteen inches across the breast. THE FUNERAL OFMR. LINCOLN.

After receiving the oath, and being declared President of the United Stat&s, Mr. Johnson re-marked : Gentlemen: I must be permitted to say,that I have been almost overwhelmed by the an-nouncement of the safl event which has so recently occurred. I feel incompetent to perform, dutiesso important and responsible as thos* which have been so unexpectedly thrown upon me. As to anindication of any policy which maybe pursued byme in the administration of the government, I haveto say that that must be left for development as the 8idministralion pro- gresses. The message ordeclaration m.ust be made bjr the acts as they transpire. The only assuranctt that I can now give ofthe future is reference to the past. The course which I have Uiken in the past in connection with thisrebellion must be regarded as a guarantee of the future, Mjr past public life, which has been longandlabo- rious, has been founded, as I in good conscience believe, upon a great principle of right,whicJh lies at the basis of all things. The best energies of my life have been spent in endeavoringto establish and perpetuate the principles of fre government, and I believe that the government, inpassing through its present perils, will settle down upon principles consonant with popular rightsmore permanent and enduring than here- tofore. 1 must be permitted to say, if I under- stand thefeelings of my own heart, that I havft long labored to ameliorate and elevate the condition of thegreat mass of the American peopl*. Toil and an honest advocacy of the great principles of freegovernment have been my lot. Duties have been mine: consequences are God's. This has been thefoundation of my political creed, aud I feel tbat in the end the Govern- ment will triumph, and thatthese greet prinof^- pies will be permanently established. In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say thatI want your encouragement and countenance. I shall ask and rely upon you and others in car- ryingthe government through it.a present perils. I feel, in making this reque.'st, that it wilt be heartilyresponded to by you and all other patriots and lovers of the rights and interaaUi of a free people.

The Assassins Reported to be EscaplBit


N. C, on the 2th of December, 1808, and was left an orphan when he wa^ but five years old. Fromthat time he has been engaged iu the battles of life. How young he was when compelled to workfor his own living, may be understood from the fact that he liad served a long apprenticeship a.sa tailor, ,ind yet was out of his time nnd in full employ- ment as a journeyman, in lAwreuee, SouthCarolina, before he readied his eighteenth year. In the fall of 1826 he migrated to Green- ville,Tennessee, where he was soon after nuuTlod to a lady by whom he was taught to read and write.He very soon became a great favorite with the people of Greenville, and in 1830 was elected amagistrate, a position that had never previously been graced by a me- chanic. He was then but littlemore than 21 years of age. During the year 18^ the people of Tennessee reformed and popxilar-IzBd their State Constitution, a work in which Johnson took an active part. In the following yearhe waa electecl to the Legisla- ture, and in 1839 he was again returned. Having by this time wona high reputation as a public spealf er, he was appointed in 1840 to canvass East Tennessee forMr. Van Buren. In 1841 'lo was sent to the State Senate, and in IS4S he was chosen to representhis district in Congress. Here he served continu- ously until March 1853, having been electedfive times. At the expiration of his fifth term he wa elected Governor of Tennessee, and servedfrom October 1853, to October 1857, having been re-elected in 1855. In 18S7 he was elected tothe Senate of the United States, to serve until 1863. But In the mean- time the rebellion broke out,and Johnson, obeying his Instincts of patriotism stood Ihlthfully by his co\intry. He was appofnteda Brigadier General in the army,and after the Occupation of Nashville, in February, 1862, he wasmade Military Governor of Tennes- see, In which capacity he served until Fe- bruary, 1865, whenhe left Nashville to take his place as Vice President of the United States. So much for mere dates.But after all It la a view of the living man the people want, and not a lesson In chronology. Let us,therefore, look at the man. The great features of Andrew Johnson's clxaracter are these, inflexibleres^olution, unfaltering per- severence, earnest patriotism, and the pro- foundest devotion to therights of the people. If ever the whole history of a man's life developed the possession of pricelessqualities, those above-mentioned are Incor- porated in the body and animate the soul Of AndrewJolmson. Wherever he found an issue Involving the rights of the people, he always moved promptlyand effectively in fiivor of the people. This is observable in his efforts to reform the Constitutionof Tennessee; In his never-ceasing resUstauce to all forms of une


This is exemplified in his course on the Oregon boundary question in the war with Mexico, andsince the outbreak of the present rel^elllon. Whenever he has found his party In antagonism to theinterests of the people, or derelict in its duty to the oountry. he has risen superior to party. Thuswhile he gave an earnest support to Folk's administration during tue Mexican war, he refused tovote a tax on " tea and coffee," to pay the expenses of the war, on the ground that it was not rightto ask the humbler classes of the people to do both the fighting and the paying. In the Senate,while supporting a Democratic administration he denounced Its unue


murder of the monarch would b likely to overturn the kingdom. Under constitutional governmentin the United States, an occurrence of this kind, ihow- ever deep it may penetrate into the heartsof the i>eople, does not affect in the le.ast the permanency of the political structure. Such an actcan never be prompted in the hope of transferring the authority of the government or changing thedestinies of the country. The republic Is based on endur- 'able foundations order, Justice, humanity,fireedbm, equality and while these principles endure In the hearts of men, the republic must stand.The will of the people is its strength, and neither accident nor design ' van take away this controllingand sustain- ing power. Insurrection, formidably armed, may attempt it, but the power of the peopletriumphs. Murder of the chief of the nation may purpose it, but the calm operation of the lawsimmediately Invests the authority of the nation in a new representative of its power, and the courseof government moves on undisturbed by ilie perturbations which would seem sufficient to shakethe foundations of social and political order. While the Government thus rests on the will of thewhole people, it is surrounded by a power which Is able to repel all the assaults of its enemies, andto compel submission to Its de- crees. As political changes cannot be eflTected by the death of theChief Magistrate of the nation, the motive to assassinationasa means to revolution is defeated. Theonly revolution which can be effective Is the revolution .>f public sentimsnt, expra^ed Uirwujjti meballot-box.

We therefore can find no sufficientmotive in the murder whlgb has caused the present national affliction. In the absenccofnnj-sufficientmotive for the deed, the Improbability of any wide- spread conspiracy to accomi>llsh it forces it-self upon the conviction. Perverted Judg- ment may look upon such a transaction as heroic, butthe heroism dies in the worth- lessness of the result. A sense of personal 1 n- Jury may revengeItself in this skulking waj', but tills is the momentary gratification only of ill-regulated passion inthe individual. But no clear, logical mind desiring tlie success ot rebellion, could deduce from Mr.Lincoln's death any change or event which would be favorable to that sigually defeated cause. Untilthe sentiments of tlie people themselves change, there can bo no alteration of the policy or purjxweof the nation. And this is its greatest security to the Government. It Is a fact which those seek- ingpower and those exercising It, both must recognize or failure attends their labors. Statesmanshipis enlightened only as it seeks to direct without subverting the people will. ----------------------- mt^I----------------------- Thk National Sacrifice. No public event within the memory of the present ge-neration has produced so profound an emo- tion as the assassination of President Lin- coln. Thetime and tlio oecasion contribute to impress the horror more vividly upon the public mind. In themidst of rejoicings over restored liberty, in the hour of exultation over the nation's triumph, the handof an assassin has stricken down the life of the man to whose f\rmness, humanity and in- flexibledevotion to principle, the people owe mainly the accomplishment of this great work. But though thechief has fallen, the life of the nation is untouched by the wicked act. The wisdom that conceived the


Consti- tution provided for all possible contingencies, and the authority recently investing the act-sof Mr. Lincoln, by a regular and orderly arrangement is'transferred to his legal successor. AndrewJohnson Is now the Presi- dent of the Unitc-d States, and his views and wishes will, in a measure,hereafter control the issues now pending, the most momen- tous In their character that the nationever had to determine. It Ls natural that the first feelings of tlie human heart should be those ofindignation and resentment against the atrocity which has produced such general aiid heartfeltmourning, and that the first Impulse should be a demand for a stern and unrelenting policy to bepursued towards those whose sympathies, it is assumed, will be gratified by this foul deed. But weshould remen\ber that the work before us is the x^ermanent restoration of the Union, and not the^atifiea- tioja of resentments. What our late excellent chief magistrate, while living, thought was Just,and honorable and right, is no less proper andjust now that he Is dead. Indeed the noble principlesto which he devoted his life become sanctified by his death. In his clear sense and understanding,the disturb- ing passions of the hour could not avert for one moment the steady purpose of hisheart, which was the restoration of the Union, toils original integrity and power; a restoration notmerel.v in a bond of political union, but one In mutual sentiment of goodwill; one in the commoninterests which are promoted, and endurable forever in the universal equality which Is established.Tried as man i never was tried before by the perplexlti&Siof I his situation, with new causes ofirritation I and resentment daily arising, his patience with the Infatuated people in rebellion neverexhausted itself; but kind, conciliatory, for- j giving; in the spirit of a true Christian and 1 patriot, hewaited for the end, flrm in the trust that right would triumph and Justice ! be the ruling principle ofthe land. The right has triumphed; the authority of the republic is vinaicated; rebellion is Prostrate;freedom is the universal law over every acre of land In the brojvd limits of the Union. To die for sucha cause is a privi- lege, and the people who inherit the bless- i logs which it ha* bestowe


in the employ of the Government at the Brooklyn N.av.v Yard have been for several days on " a strike'for wages, refus- ing to work. The authorities having con- sidered their complaint, declined to accedeto their demand, notwlthst^mdlng the pressing necessitj for their services. The effect Is, the UnitedStates steamer Monongahela, which went there recently to be thoroughly over- hauled, win haveto go somewhere, and preparations are being made to send her to Philadelphia. It is anticipatedthat tlie other vessels which are at the yard for an over- hauling will be sent to Boston. Tlie Colo-rado, .5.'guns, the Hartford, 28 guns, and the Brooklyn, 26 guns, are but partially over- Itj^uled, whenthese vessels aie in great demand by the officers who are to command them. " It Is an ill windthat blows nobody good," and what the New York mechanics lose by holding out, will be realizedby me- chanical skill elsewhere. So far as Philadel- phia may come In for a share, it is believed tlieGovernment will be none the loser. Davis' Last Flourish.-Davis, on the 7th instant, not having heardfrom I>ee, put forth an address to the people, In which he says: ' We have now entered upon a newphase of the struggle. Believed from the necessity of guarding particular points, onr army will liefrte to move from point to point, to strike the ' enemyin detail far from his base. Letusbutwill it andwe are tree. Animated by that coufldence inspirit and'fortitude which never failed me. I announceto you, fellow countrymen, that it is my purpose to maintaia your cause with my whole heart andsoul; that I will never consent to abandon to the eneni.v one foot of the soil of any one of the Statesof the confe- deracy." Tlie army that Davts depends uiKm, unfor- tunately for his pretensions, hasbeen struck In detail and in general and is now no more. Davis may not consent to abandon oneloot of soil, but General Sherman will not leave him one foot to stand upon as his own. Mr. Seward.The country will learn with pleasure that half the work intended by the assassin or assassins, whoplanned the death of Piesldent Lineoln and Secretarj- Seward, is likely lo be defeated. Mr. Seward'scon- dition, though critical, is looked upon as *i- vorable, and the probability of his recoverj- Is agreat relief to those who feared the country would be deprived of his sage advice, counsel andexperience in conducting our I national troubles to a peaceful Issue. Mr. I Seward was the trustedcounsellor of Mr. 1 Lincoln, and the fact that we have kept I free from any foreign coniplicatious,adding ! to our national difflcnltles.
