Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, April 29th, 1865.
While the loyal millions of the North
Were paying the heartfelt tribute of their
tears; and shadowing their abodes and all
their places of business in the habiliments of
mourning. for our murdered Chieftain, the
officers of justice were hunting to his lair, as
if he were some wild beast, the cowardly
assassin. It was scarce dusk on Wednesday
evening when a telegram came up to Head
Quarters here from Alexandria, saying a
:r .ssenger had ridden through from Port
l? ya] on the Rappahauuock and brought
intelligence of the capture and killing of
Booth. But the seal of the Government Cen-
sor was put upon the lips andpens of the jour-
nalists and no word was permitted to be
telegraphed North, till Thursday forenoonl
It was two o‘clock in the morning of
Thursday, when our wearied brain and throb-
bing pulses had just ceased inditing the daily
record of Washington news, which was to
greet the reader's eye Of the great TRIBUNE,
at. the morning repast, that the two detect-
ives who had trailed Booth, and hunted him
down like a mad-dog to the fatal Barn, came
:2 with Booth’s Spencer Carbine, his two re-
Evolverll, belt and “Bio umper Imannis” dirk,
to show as trophies of their good fortune
and success in the detective art. The long
blade of the knife was still stained with the
blood of' Major Rathbone, who occupied the
President’s box and sought to arrest the as-
sassiu's flight. The story Of the detectives
was soon told. How he was trailed, pursued,
overtaken, and detected, put at bay and shot—
like the dog he was.
In the morning came up “Boston Corbett"
the hero of Bootb‘s “taking Off.” His narra-
tive, truthful, even religious, was intensely
interesting and the narrative so circumstan'
tially stated,takes much off the edge to that
regret which most felt, that Booth had not
been taken alive and publicly tried, con?
demned and hung. All these statements
have been so long before the public, that I
will not consume the readers patience by their
repetition here. There is a counter satisfac-
tion in knowing that had he been brought
to Washington a prisoner and tried, he would
long continued to have been the hero of the
vile and wicked, who rejoice in the coward-
ly and monstrous iniquity he wrought. By
such a trial he would have been elevated to
an equality with thieves and murderers Of the
common stripe. As it is, it seems but a just
and retributive providence that he should
die as ignobly as he lived.
The public mind, so intensely excited,since
the monstrous 'crime, has again settled to
quiet, and all respire the freer that the com-
mon, air we breathe is not polluted by the
‘Jreath of such a monster. What horrid
nights of mental anguish and physical agony
he spent hiding in swamps, hobbling from 1
skulking place to Skulkiug place, with the
sharp-edged bones of his fractured leg pro-
truding from his flesh and every step a .
death agony, God only knows and to his ;
God let his soul in extremest pity be con-
signed, while, friend our fee, nor man nor
allied-brute, shall ever know his place of
sepulcbxe. So. perish the wicked. So dieth
thefool. So died J. Wilkes Booth. Hunted
and destroyed, like a wild beast, in a barn.
His ashes unurned—his epitaph—“oblivion."

The Legislature.
This body assembles in Hartford to-mor-
row, Wednesday, and we trust they will have
food weather for the “Election Parade, for
r. .‘lich extensive preparations have been
made. We learn that several of our citizens
expect to be present on the occasion.
Lieut.-Gov. Averill, presides in the Senate;
the House elect their Speaker and other Ofli.
cars on Wednesday morning. From present
appearances, notwithstanding the very sin-
gular letter from Colchester in this State,
which appeared in Saturdays’ New York Tri-
bune, (and from “all such,” if we were a can-
didate for any office, “deliver us,”) we believe
that the Hon. John S. Rice the popular
Speaker of last year, will be elected to that
office by a large majority. William '1‘. El-
mer, the able Clerk of the last House, will
we suppose, secure a unanimous vote for
Clerk of the Senate, while his assistant of
last year, John R. Buck, of Hartford, will
doubtless take Mr. Elmer's place as chief
('lerk of the House and be enabled to read
"german" by proxy. There are numerous
candidates for the Ofiice of assistant Clerk of
the House, but we have seen no name men-
tioned that we believe more deserving than
that of Chaplain Morris, of the War Record,
and we sincerely hope he may be the fortu-
nate man.
For the places of Messengers, Door keep-
ers, &c., we hope that they may be given to
some of the numerous returned veterans
from the army, who have been wounded and
disabled from arduous labor. Certainly
, there cannot be a more deserving class of
applicants.
We regret to see that the “war of roses”
has again broken out, and that there is more
than one candidate for printer; for, to per-
. sons familiar with the action of the caucus
in 1863, the fact that there is more than one
candidate this year is certainly surprising.

The Maisonic Celebration.
Very extensive arrangements are being
_made for the proper observance of the Gen-
tennial Anniversary of St. John’s Lodge.
A large number of invitations have been is-
sued to members of lhe “ancient and honor-
able order” In other places, and a very large
attendance of Brothers from abroad is expect-
ed. The arrangements are so extensive that
.v, has been found necessary to engage,—in
addition to the Masonic Hall and St. Paul’s
Church—both of our large and beautiful Pub-
lic Halls, and the Halls of the Odd Fellows
and Sons of Temperance. A general pro-
gramme of exercises will be found elsewhere
in to-days’ paper.

§_§In our last we chronicled the fact that “an
arrangement" had been entered into between
Gen. Sherman and Gen. Johnston, by which
the Confederate army was to be disbanded,
&c. This week we give on our outside the
terms offered by Sherman, and which were
disapproved by the Government. Upon rc-
ceipt of the news from Sherman, Gen. Grant
immediately started for his army, and gave
Johnston notice that the armistice was cud-
ed, and demanded his surrender: The fol-
lowing ofiicial dispatch gives the result.

Maj. Gen. Dior :
A dispatch from Gen. Grant, dated at Ra-

‘Sherman. on the basis agreed upon between
Lee and Myself for the Affil‘y of Northern
Virginia. EDwrN . STANTON,

Grant modestly gives the credit to Sher-
man, and it is stated that he still has per-
fect confidence in his abilities as a military
commander. It is said that Sherman yield-
ed with good grace to the objections of the
President.

The war is ended, and Retrenchment is

State Militia Matters.
We learn that in accordance with the
State Militia law which calls for a parade of
each Regiment for one day some time in the
month of May, Col. Rob’t. B. Craufurd, has
ordered the Eighth Regiment, to assemble
.at Norwalk, on Wednesday of next week,

The Horse Railway.
The public will see by the notice Of the Norwalk
Horse Railroad Company in our advertising c01-
umus, that they do not intend to apply to the Legis-
lature for an amendment of their Charter, allowing
them to increase their fare to eight cents; but in
lieu of that, they have concluded to accept of the
increase which they claim recent actions of Con'
gress allows them to charge, and after Monday next
the fare will be six cents. We understand the New
Haven Horse Railway Companies have increased
their fare, and the other Companies in the State will
do the same soon.

DARIEN.—0n Monday afternoon last, Mrs.
Martha Harris, mother-in-law of Dr. C. W.
Ballard Senator elect. was killed while cross-
ing the railroad track in a carriage, on the
public road near Darien Station, by the ,ex-
press train for New York. The train was"
half an hour behind time, and a freight train
stood at the Depot, concealing the express
from view. The train struck the hind part
of the wagon smashing it to pieces and kill-
ing Mrs. H. instantly. The lady in the car-
riage with her was thrown over the dash-
board, bnt was not dangerously injured.
The jury of Inquest close their verdict as
follows: “We are of opinion that there is
culpable lack of caution in the management
of the railroad in respect to passing stations
whiletrsins are in waiting, and to crossing
public roads in general.”
The Stamford Advocate says that Benja-
min, a lad of about ten years of age, son of
Thomas Wood of Darien, was missed from
his home about nine o’clock on Tuesday
morning, and search being made for him his
body was found about noon near Rings End
bridge, after the tide had left. It is suppos-
ed that his hat had blown off. and in his .ef-
forts to secure it, he was drowned.

cade as they toil along the Soulhern sandy

are cheered by the feeling that they bear
Caesar and his fortunes ; they certainly cov-
er all that is left of the so-called Confederate
government, and themselves compose the
only organized force that Davis has on this
side of the Mississippi river. Davis, Breck-
enridge, Trenholm, Benjamin St John and
Reagan all ride in the center of that forlorn
band; and how many understrappers keep
their company itis bootless to know. They
bear with them no affection of the people of

memento in the charred and blacked ruins of

arrived at Vicksburg with boilers leaking
badly. She remained 30 hours repairing and
taking on 1,996 Federal soldiers and 85 ofii-

Andersonville prisons. She arrived at Mem-
phis last evening and after coolin off pro~
ceeded at 2 a. m. When seven miles above
she blew up and immediately took fire and
burned to the water‘s edge. Of the 2,106
souls on board not more than 700 will be
recovered. Five hundred were rescued and
are now in the hospitals; two or three hun-
dred uninjured ones are at the soldiers’
house.
At four this morning the river in front of
Memphis was covered wrth soldiers strug-
gling for life many badly scalded. Boats
immediately went to the rescue, and are still
engaged in picking them up. Gen. Wash-

to be better than any other in the market. Their
list includes more than thirty colors, and these in
turn may be multiplied indefinitely. There is no
sort Offabrfwwoolen, silk, or cotton, bonnets, rib-
bons, gloves, &c., &c., but may be dyed with equal
facility and certainty. No wonder the dyes are so
popular.

E‘ Liberty is one o f the dearest blessings which
Our forefathers have handed down to us. It was
purchased by the blood ofmany a valiant revolution-
ary here; has been guarded by a Washington a Jef-'
fcrsonian, a Clay, and a Webster. But dearer still
to the hearts'of the people is that world-renowned
remedy, known as Ooe‘s Cough Balsam. It cures
like magic the most violent attacks of croup, and is
indispensable in every family ,Of children. . Golds,
sudden coughs, sore throat, hoarsencss, and inflamed
lungs, are instantly and surely cured by its timely
use. No cough mixture has ever been known that
equals it, which accounts for its great popularity
with all classes. The young and Old—the rich and
poor—physicians, dragglst—and all who have} ever
tested it speak in the hishest terms of its merits.
We say to our readers—buy it and try it. It costs
but 40 cents the bottle, contains twice as much med-
icine as you can obtain in any other way at the same
cost, and all our drug stores keep it. 1m16

and testimonials around each bottle.
Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp unmutiluted
over the cork, with plantation. Scene, and our sig-
nature On a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with spurious and dcleterons
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an imposter. Any
person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters
or not, is a criminal under the'U. S. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our 'eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, &c. who wil
succeed in getting themselves into‘ close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from is-
dies, clergyman, merchants. &c. is incredible. The

their worth and superiority. They are sold by all
