The Booth tetter.
"Washington, July 17,*,1867.
Editors Intelligencer:
Gentlemen—Much has been said in the
public prints in regard to tho missing let
ter of John Wilkes Booth. As I w»»e
person to whom this letter was entru:sted,
I know its contents and the circumstances
attending it3 delivery into my hands net*
met John wSkes Booth (on horseback,
on Pennsylvania avenue at tfa e triangular
enclosure between Thirteenth and hour
teenth streets. We met, shook hands, and
Dashed tbe compliments of the day. it
so happened that the officers of Gen. Lee s
army has just passed up in a body. I
plied, ies, ouujiuj., j.,
placing his hand upon his forehead, ex
claimed, "Great God, I have no longer a
country.” Observing his paleness, ner
vousness, and agitation, I remarked,
“John,-how nervous you are; what is the
matter?” to which be replied, “Ob, no, it
is nothing,” and continued with, “John
ny. I havo a little favor to ask of you;
will you grant it?” He then stated, "Per.
haps I may leave town to-night, and I
have a letter here which I desire to be pub
lished in tho National Intelligencer.—
please attend to it for mo unless I see you
before 10 o’clock to-morrow; in that case
I will see to it myself.”
At that moment I observed Gen. Grant
riding by in an open carriage, carrying
also his baggage. Seeing this, I called
Mr. Booth’s attention to him, and said:
“Why, Johnny, there goes Grant; I
thought he was coming to the Theatrethis
evening with the President.” “Where?”
he exclaimed. I pointed to the carriage;
ho looked towards it, grasped my hand
tightly, and galloped down the avenue
after the carriage. That was the last time
I met him until I §&w him on the stage of
Ford’s Theatre on tho memorable night of
the 14th of April. a * s *
To-day, in court, after answering a few
direct questions. I endeavored to make an
explanation of the matter, which was ob»
jected to by tho prosecution and refused
by Judge Fisher.
The New York Herald, which first pro
cured tho news from the Judiciary Com
mittee of my haviDg been before them,
and what testimony I had given, has spo
ken of a secrecy of manner and an obser
vation, “If something should occur during
tbe night,” etc., on the part of Wilkes
Booth. I desire to state all that did occur
at that interview, and to say also that the
letter was given with no Becrecy of man
ner, nor was there any remark made about
anything that might occur during the
night.
Now, for the contents of the letter. It
was written on a sheet of commercial note
paper, covering three pages. The first
two pages were written in tho spirit and
Btyle of the Philadelphia letter, and it
was only at the concluding paragraph that
anything was said bearing upon what had
transpired, which was to this effect and in
these words:
“For a long time I have devoted my
energies, my time and money to the ac«
complishment of a certain end. 1 have
been disappointed. The moment has now
arrived when I must change my plans.
Many will blame me for what I am about
to do, but posterity, 1 am sure, will justify
me.
“Men who loyo their country better
than gold or life.

The President’s Veto Message in Con-
f ress.
uly 19.—The bold and
vigorous Presidential veto of tho Sup-
plcmenfal Military Reconstruction act
precipitated on Congress this afternoon,
woke up the House from its idle work of
passing meaningless resolutions, and af
forded that body a scent which will not
soon be forgotten. The reading of tbe
messago was listened to by well-filled gal
leries and a large attendance of members
on the floor. The Radicals wero full of
wrath at its tone, for a flood of invective
and denunciation came from Thad. Ste
vens, Boutwell, and Williams the moment
tho Clerk concluded the last paragraph.
It was followed by tbe imperative demand
that Congress should remain in session
and at once proceed with the work of im«
peachment. Boutwell was unusually ex«
cited, and vociferously appealed to the
Radicals to come up and displace the Pres
ident, who, ho said, had defiantly told
Congress that ho would not enforce tho
laws of Congress. Mr. Randall arose from
the Democratic sido and deliberately
throw down the challenge, by stating that
the Radicals dare not impeach Mr, John
son. Butler followed by admitting that
Mr. Randall’s remark was about true now,
but ho hoped for a change. Mr. Boyer,
of Pennsylvania, replied in a brief but
excellent speech, in which be said that tho
Radicals only wanted to remove the Pres*
ident in order that they might obtain com
plete Radical majorities in all depart
ments of tho government. Mr. BruyD,
of New York, in the five minutes allotted
to him, handsomely arraigned Thad. Ste
vens' conquered territorial government.
AVilliams, of Pennsylvania, followed as
another of the impeachers in a violent
harangue for impeachment. Tbad. Ste
vens then arose solemnly and sad, and
looked upon the impeachment movement
as dead, and sneeriDgly alluded to what
he called invisible influences operating
on certain Republican members. This
brought Wilson, Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee, to his feet, who proceed
ed to defond his course and intimated de
cidedly that he would not be driven from
a conscientious discharge of his duty, nor
would he he hunted down by the House,
Although politically differing from An
drew Johnson he declared that the Presi
dent had a right to be heard. This brought
down a round of applause. Tbe impeach-
ors saw tbe drift of the sentiment of the
majority and abandoned further attempts
to ride impeachment into the House over
the excitement created by tbe veto. A
voto was then taken and the bill passed,
the objections of the President to the con
trary notwithstanding. The vote was a
party vote.
In th9 Senate there was no debate, and
the bill was speedily made into a law. It
should be added bore that no veto mes
sage has so thoroughly aroused, and even
alarmed, tho Republicrus as that of to
day.
Tlie Indian War.
New York, July 21.—The Herald’s
Fort Wallace special says:
General Custar’s commandrcached bore
on the 12th and 13th of July, and found
the bodies of Lieutenant Kidder and ten
men of M troop, 2d Cavalry, who had
been sent with dispatches from Sherman
to Custar. The Indians overtook them at
Beaver Creek. General Custar then left
Fort Wallace for Fort Riley with seventy
picked men, and reached there in fifty-
five hours, losing three men killed near
Downer. The Indians swarm along the
route and are more bold and determined
than even
Crops.—The crops in this section, go
far as we have heard, still-give promise of
a bounteous yield this fall, notwithstand
ing tho Gontinuod ruin.
We had tho pleasure a few days ago of
riding over the plantation of our friend
Pitman, and we have never seen a better
prospect for both corn and cotton. He
has, by the help of his freedmen, succeed
ed in keeping Gen. Green in such subjec
tion that he makes his appearance only in
out of the way places, and is even there
very modest in his claim of room.-
Wa had also a glimpse of a cotton field
under the management of that prince of
planters, George Lawton, Esq..and think,
from what wo saw, he is good for a bag of
cotton for every two acres of the field.and
it all comes of manuring highly and
proper cultivation.
It has been clearly demonstrated in tho
experience of farmers in this section this
year, that tho true plan is to plant fewer
acres and give those acres more cars.
This will enable the farmer to reduce tbe
cumber of his hands, and all his other
expenses, and he will find at the end of
the year that he has made more clear
money than falls to him after defraying
all the expenses necessary with the pres
ent cumbrous plan of planting.

Bourbon Mule Market—A Revi
val.—There has been a better feeling in
the mule market during the last week.
We hear of a number of sales having
been made. A. McUlintock purchased of
T. Thorn thirteen 2 year olds at $140 per
head, and twenty-four of William Layson
at $140. William T. Talbott bought of
Charles Kimbrough, of Harrison, fifty
bead at $160, to be delivered August 1st.
Jodd Wilson purchased forty-six head
of R. M. Stone at $136; also another lot
at $16-5. James and Joseph McClelland
bought forty head of Joshua Barton.
These, of course, were No. 1; second class
mules havo sold at $110 to $125.

Measures Taken by the Austrian Gov
ernment to Save Maximilian.
The Vienna papers of July 1st contain
the following communication, understood
to be from an official source :
“It may bo of interest to learn the steps
already taken months ago by the Austrian
Government to avert this terrible catas
trophe. Upon the withdrawal of the
French troops, the Emperor of Austria,
starting from the idea that the Emperor
Maximilian would leave Mexico at the
game time as Marshal Bazaine, thought it
advisable to take tbe question into consid
eration whether the Emperor Maximil
ian’s return should not be facilitated by
restoring to him all his rights as next
Agnate, which he had renounced beforo
leaving for Mexico. Tbe reason for no
further action being then taken in the
matter—independently of the fact that
other legitimately acquired rights de
manding close examination were at stake
—was that the Emperor Maximilian re
mained in Mexico and continued tho con
test with tbo nativo forces at bis disposal.
"When the news of bis capture arrived
here everything was done to bring about
a diplomatic intervention of collective
Europe in his favor. The Austrian Am
bassador in Washington had been previ
ously empowered to apply to the Govern
ment of the North American Republic
requesting its active diplomatic interven
tion iu case of any danger threatening the
Emperor. It is known that Mr. Seward
complied with this requestV and that the
American Government, even at that time,
made a bona fide application to Juarez in
this sense. When the capitulation of the
Emperor Maximilian became known,
France, England, Russia and Prussia
wero asked to instruct their Ambassadors
in Washington to unite their efforts with
those of tho Austrian Ambassador in
saving the Emperor Maximilian. All tbe
Powers took steps in consequence of this
desire. Queen Victoria adding ‘that it was
a question of saving the life of a near and
dear relation.’
“One hope still remained when we
learned here the grounds upon which Ro
mero, the Ambassador of Juarez at AVasb-
ington, sought to justify severity against
the Emperor. Theso were mainly based
upon the assumption that the Emperor
Maximilian would always remain a clai
mant, and constantly prove a rallying
point for all the unquiet spirits in Mexico,
and thus keep the country in continual
excitement. It was, therefore, at a coun
cil of the Imperial family at once resolved
to restore the Emperor Slaximilian to all
his rights as next Agnate, to obtain from
him the fullest renunciation of his claims
as Emperor of Mexico, and to afford the
necessary guarantees for this renunciation
being carried out. A telegram to this
effect was sent to tho Austrian Ambassa
dor in Washington. Seward again showed
himself inclined to active support; but,
according to the latest intelligence, it
seems unhappily to havo proved ineffec
tual. The question of ransom was never
raised. Tho Austrian Court was perfectly
willing to havo paid a ransom. But the
utmost caution was necessary, in order
not to raise tho idea of interference with
the proceedings of the Court Martial, and
thus perhapB disadvantageously influence
the fate of the Emperor Maximilian. This
last consideration also operated when the
question arose whether a confidential
agent should be sent to Juarez. Tbo idea
was abandoned, because, apart from the
bad effect that might thus have been
exerted upon tho fate of the Emperor,
Juarez would also have been compro
mised in case of discovery.”
From the N. O. Times, 20th.
Further Details of Maximilian’* Ex
ecution.
We note the following items with ro-
gard to_ the execution of the Emperor
Maximilian, which have not as yet, we
believe, been published. Wo do not
vouch for their truth ; but we give them
as we find them reproduced in the Diario
de la Marina, the official organ of Cuba.
They were received at Havana by an En
glish steamer from Vera Cruz:
I will communicate to you—says tho
correspondent—certain sad, but very in
teresting details of tbe drama at Quereta-
ro, which have reached this city by the
last extraordinary courier from tho capi
tal.
Eminently pathetic are the events
which begin to reach us in connection
with the lugubrious tragedy at Queretaro.
The Emperor, Miramon and Mejia died
bravely and like Christians. All showed
themselves serene at the supreme mo
ment, but especially the Emperor. As
he stepped out in front of tbe Mexican
soldiers who wero to bo his executioners,
he begged the officer commanding the es
cort to replace them with Austrians, be
cause “he was unwilling that Mexicans
should sully their bands with the blood
of their Emperor.”
Miramon being requested to give the
word of command for bis execution, an
swered with digDity : “That he did not
wish to die as a General, but like a Cath
olic; that his faith prohibited suicidn.und
that it was their provinces to consummate
the work they bad begun.”
it appears that the Emperor made his
will on tbo eve of his execution, and I am
assured that he left to the traitor Lopez
the sum of $10,006 and his pardon, and
also a life-allowance of two dollars a day
to each one of the soldiers who were de
tailed to shoot him.
This act of unexpected cruelty has pro
duced great indignation and discontent
even among tho Liberals themselves.
Gens. Riva Palacio, Cosio, Rivera and
Labang asked to be relieved from their
commands. General Corona retired also
with his forces,profoundly disgusted with
the tragical end of the illustrious prison
ers.
On the receipt of the sad nows, all the
Vessels of war in the port of Sacrifieios
■placed their flag3 at half-mast. Tbe com
mander of the American vessel of war
there, on being informed of the event by
Gen. Alejandro Garcia, replied that "ho
regretted exceedingly to bo the organ to
communicate to tbo Government at
Washington so grave an event, and that
he would do wrong to conceal his opinion
that its tenor would be so unpleasant as
to result in destroying the sympathy en
tertained by the American people for the
cause of Juarez.”
—
Touching Letter of Maximilian to
“Poor Carlotta,”
New York, July 21.—Tho "Queretaro
Esparanza” states that Minister Romero
at Washington secured the order for tbe
execution of Maximilian against the
strong inclination of Juarez toward clem
ency.
It also publishes the following letter
from Maximilian to his wife: My belov
ed Carlotta, if God permit that your
health gets better, and you should read
these few lines, you will learn yhe cruelty
with which fate has stricken me since
your departure for Europe.
You took along with you my heart, but
my good fortune,why did I not give heed
to your voice ? So many untoward events,
so many sudden blows have shattered all
ray hopes, bo that death is but a happy
deliverance, not an agony to me.
I shall die gloriously ; like a king, van
quished, but not dishonored. If your
sufferings are too great, and God should
call you soon to join me, I shall bless His
divine hand, which has weighed so heavi
ly upon us. Adieu! Adieu! Your poor
Maximilian.
Maximilian.
The President, on the 19th, in reply to
a resolution of the Senate, sent to that
body voluminous documents concerning
Maximilian, many of which have already
been published.
On the 21st of June, Secretary Seward
wrote to Minister Romero:
"I am authorized to inform President
Juarez that tbe Emperor of Austria will
at once re-establish Prince Maximilian in
all his rights of succession as Archduke
of Austria upon Mexico releasing him,
and will renounce forever all projects in
Mexico.
“Will you oblige me by conveying this
message by telegraph to President Juarez
for his information, with a request that if
compatible he will make the same known
to Prince Maximilian for bis informa
tion.”
Mr. Romero on the same day informed
Mr. Seward that he transmitted the above
note to the Mexican Minister of Foreign
Affairs, having sent it as far as New Or
leans by telegraph in tirno to reac h the
outgoing Bteamer. lie also states that on
tho 15th of June ho sent Secretary Se
ward’s memorandum of ihat date, in
which was made known to him that the
Emporor of the French and tho Queen of
England had addressed the Government
of tbe United States, requesting it to
interpose its kind offices in favor of Max
imilian.
Mr. Seward, in a note dated the 17th of
July, acknowledged the receipt of Mr
Romero’s notes of tho 3d, 7th and 12th
inst., in relation to tho capture and execu
tion of Prince Maximilian and Generals
Mejia and Miramon.
Registration was completed for Spald
ing county on Friday last. By an over
sight, we failed to get the exact numbers,
bat it is about 1500. The excess of col
ored over “plain” is only thirty-three.—

of a letter said to have, been writteD by
Escobedo to Gomax, directing him by
every means in his power to take in the
country of Mexico all property in the

Yankees interfering with us as long as the
Southern States are keptout of the Union.
Tho black men would side with us

a question personal to himself. It had
been stated in public prints that he (Mr.
Bradley) had offered Mr. Hobart a bribe,
and be desire'd Mr. Hobart to explain the

Mr. Hobart said no such offer was ever
made to him, and the publication was
utterly false, and was made without his

some money that had been contributed
for that purpose. No one connected with
the defence ever made a proposition to
pay any money for any testimony.
