Wht Pubsidext Lincoln was Assam r- INATED. To attract the attention of the North aud to give* a chance for a respite to the ~ -nth, John Yates Beall was sent into Canada to operate on the frontier, as we will show in detail next week. His nature much like that of Booth—hot- blooded, vrt cautions. Daring, bnt rash. Booth tned to dissuade him from the step, but in vain, but promised to stand by him if there came a timo when the life of Beall should be in jeopardy. For years previous to the arrest of Beall and his trial, between John Wilkes Booth and himself had ’ existed the closest inti macy They had drank from the same cup—slept in the same bod—admired the same girls—spent convivial nights to gether, and so ran their social lives into each that like Damon and Pythias, they were more than brothers. When last we Raw John "Wilkes Booth in Chicago, at a time during the war, when he, Artemna Want, or Glias. F. Browne, and tlio writer hereof, were it the refreshment room nnJer McVickcr’i Theatre, as a certain man in Chicago ro- members, he waa then, as for years, a firm friend of Beall. This friendship be gan long before—it never ended. With the plan to abdnet Lincoln and hold him in some isolated retreat South, till, f.»r his release, nil Southern prisoners in Northern hands should be given np. Beall aud othes, including poor Mrs. Surratt, were familiar. When Beall went as the special agent of the Sonth on a hazardous mission, the friendship of Booth went with him. At last Beall was arrested. He was tried and sentenced to death. Then, with Biro looking into the Eternal Mirror, our chapter begins its ending. John Wilkes Booth resolved to make grand attempt to save the life of his friend Beall, and conveyed information of his purpose to him, with the whisper of hope apart thereof. At this time Booth loved with strange and tender devotion a daughter of John P. Hale, United States Senator from New Hampshire. He worshipped her as in his mind, the best and purest woman he had She admired him, but not with that eternal-reaching wildm love his was for her. For the purpose of onr recital we must Araw aside a curtain to reveal a glimpse of a family picture. State, whose tinkling bell sent his be! ten to bsstilea, aaid it would not do— that Lincoln’s duty ta the Republican party demanded the execution of Beall to keep tinted the sentiment of tho North for such blood. Lincoln said Beall must be pardoned, for be had promised it t "Scwonl said he must not be pardoned, fr there would be ktrange re realm cuts! And » the President weakened, with held his pardon, and Poor BeoQ suffered * r his patriotic devotion wit When Booth learned that !ied~ to him, and not kept his aaored and horavrore by the Eternal God that he' hoitld km the man who had lied to him, and that his own right hand, then raised to heaven, should avenge the death of his comrade. And it did! Booth oalled to his counsel but friends, some of whom were in Washing ton, two of whom were not. ~ * % ard at the same hour, for his interference. As we believe, under the directing pow er of another world, Booth's hand did avenge tlie death of Beall. He was the martyr to private feelings, for ho knew that almost certain death awaited him, but be cored not for that. Inflamed by revenge—going like n bolt of wrath to the President, he fired the shot which sent echo after echo down the long lane reaching to the future. He kept his word—he avenged the death of his friend, and a wondrous prov idence dealt then with him as the world knows of. But Seward lived. There was not that “lightning” in the hearts of those who were deputed to aid Booth in bis aveng ing that filled tho soul with tlie one who settled so terrible in full with the Presi dent. And so died Abraham Lincoln, not by tho band of one who struck in behalf of a nation, but by the hand of u fiery im petuous stage-walking tenement of chiv alry. Had he kept his word, he would not then and there have died, no matter what his fate afterward. olusa (Missouri} 8tw tells the following story * v “AlewdavM suite a .young man ap- •cured.in Colusa and made a canvas? of or town in disposing of various Yankee lotiomc His experience in retard to this rorid was evidently of a limited order, efc'h* was industrious and strived to btainjn market for his wares, and Ids llorta were to a certain extent crowned with suocesa.

The next thing requisite for the journey was something to soothe tho agitated*spirit in tlio way of refreshment. He visited several saloous and inquired tlie price of champagne. Finding that article would command from 82 to ^5 per bottle, he con cluded tlie luxury was altogether too ex pensive, and he endeavored to find some other beverage to be indulged in by him self and sweetheart during the forth coming ride. At lost he enteral one^of our drugstores and asked if a temperance beverage could be furnished for the above named for a moderate Hum of mouey.— Tho druggist assured, him he had a very pleasant drink oilled citrate Booth lovod her for her worth, virtue, , and goodness. But ho was re- S n guy man of the world, and slio to trust her heart and destinies into his keeping, though we have reason to believe sue greatly admired him. And her lather, looking to the happiness of his daughter as he thought was not quite willing to the alliance Booth desired should be formed. Bnt for the gifted genius he had s liking and an admiration. One night in Washington, after Beall was doomed, John P. Hole called on G. W. McLean, of Cincinnati!, who was then in Washington. They wanted Mo- Lean to go with them to And Col. John W. Forney, and with him in company, coll upon Lincoln. McLean was unusually intimate with Lincoln, and had more influence with him than any other Western Democrat.— And he was cheek and jowl witli Forney. McLean was to vouch for Booth, with lisle and Forney to join in asking rutive clemency for Bealh It was post midnight when the carriage containing Hale, Booth and McLean left the hotel where the latter was stopping, and was driven to Forne’y residence.— Forney was in bed nnder the influence of liquor. After some little talk and explanations he arose, bathed his head in ice-water made a hasty toilet, and took a seat in the carriage. The party were then driven to the White House, reaching there about 2 o’ clock in the morning. They were admit ted past tlie guard, and found President Lincoln in iiis room, not yet retired. Then came an explanation of tlie ob ject of tho visit Fresident Lincoln sat by tlie side of Senator Hale and listened to tlie partip- nUra. Booth then and there told that once he was in a scheme to abdnet the President, not to injure him, bat to aid in the release of certaiu friends, who could not be exchanged. He told that all that was of the past, ao* fur as he was concern- pleasaut dnnk c died citrate of magnesia, prepared by himself, which he could war rant fresh and lively, and which could be obtained for 25 cents per bottle. “ Our hero immediately closed a bar gain, and seized upon two bottles with avidity.

Both suffer ing from severo thirst, tho contents of tho bottle soon disappeared, aud tlie fine flavor commented on favorably. Thus refreshed, tbo lash was freely applied to the team, and our happy conplo wore jolted over a somewhat uneven road, with their equilibrium undisturbed nntil sometime afterward, on their return, when they were both snddculv seized with »n unpleasant seueation in the vicin ity of tho refreshment receptable. *“Tho fair one bent over forward, the gallant admirer doubled up mid squirmed, until things liegan to assnnio a serious character. Tho perspiration rolled down in lmge drops from tlio forehead of one who a few momeuts before had declared happiness complete. Tho smiles of the uuudeu were suddenly transformed to pleasant contortions of the face, until at last, tlie magnesia about to become master of the situation, forbearance ceas ed to be u virtue, the team was stopped, and* without oue word of explanation, each party made a desperate and lively leap from their respective sides of the buggy, and tlie scene which ensned our pen ls incapable of describing. Suflloe it to nay, no unnecessary timo was lost iu reaching town, not a sentiment of love was uttered, and u young mm. was seen earnestly engaged in hunting the druggist—who could not be found—and he expressed a huge disgust ut the mere mention of citrate of magnesia as a buggy beverage. [From the Cleveland lit rah’..] Tlie foot race at Rocky river, between two women of this city, took place according to an nouncement on Monday afternoon. Such s novelty attracted a large crowd nutuR-ring prob ably fifteen hundred pc-mous. The least that can bu iiahl of them i« that there wa» precious few who was in tho liabit of responding to the Call of church bell. Tlie Steamer J. K. White one or two tug* took out large load*, tbe of the Rocky River Railroad were crowded, and a large nmnb r, probably half tbe crowd, came in from tlie surrounding country—rustics, men, women and children, drawn thither out ot curiosity, Tho contestants were Mrs. July Mmiroo, wife r a saloon-keeper, and Mrs. Mury M. lfocn, widow. It is not noccMearr to give elsl orate details of their personal appearance or pedigree, 1 in who will so muwx themselves as to engage in anoli performances tafore an un- rrgemrated crowd, 1>« they ever *o Leautifal there is little to admire save their “pinch," and each a questionable pursuit cannot lie greatly glorified.

Both were attired iu short dresses, Lacloaiug (lie first story of their neat limbs, en cased in silk stockings. The feel were covered with bronz gaiter*. • • The race was advertised to take place at 4 o'clock, but it wa* not till after a that “timo” was callod. After many manifestatiyns of impa tience and prophesies that the affair would be • “fiazle," and numerous false alarm* of “There they com* 1” that sent the crowd plunging belter- ekcltcr toward tho foctu of excitement, the ieatant* far athletic honor* finally made their appearance at tbe dour of the lake View House, where they bad prepared them selves for ; race. They were greeted with loud applause they plowed their tray through the crowd to tlio starting point. The ronto was from Lake View House up tbe carriage way to and around the Cliff Honae, and thence around tho drive lo th place of starting, tho entire distance being mile and a quarter. Tlie race wa* for a purse of fifty doDare. mad* np by the various parties making money out of the affair. As the women took thcir'posiUon at tli* lino, there wa* a little delay to clear a way through the crowd that surged around them. A squad of betters thronged around them, and, in Ian- gnage hy n» mean* choice, discussed tlieir re spective merits. Tlie husband of tlie larger ia at her ride to protect her as far a* possible from insult, aud protested against the raids of tbe gambler*, but oue of tlma told him emphatically tliat he had come to make money out of the affair and they were going to dolt.

Gossip and scandal are two different things. Merc gossip is talking abont neighbors’ affaire, without any malicious motive. Bnt scandal is repeating a story that you know is damaging. Sometimes tlie story is tree; bnt generally it is gross ly exaggerated, if not entirely without foundation. "Very rarely, indeed, when an unfortunate affair of any kind occnra iu a family, do strangers know the whole truth. If it is a wrong that has been done, the provocation is overlooked; if it is a mere indiscretion, the mitigating cir cumstances are disregarded. Persons frequently repeat tales of scandal without any evil intention. Bnt many, alas! de light in them, ami are only too glsd to fiud something to ssy against their neigh bor. - There is a class of people, lor instance, who secretly envy others their successes, and who therefore, are always ready to give snek rivals a stab in the dark. Some times they liavo an idea they have been slighted by these persons. This is par ticularly tlio case where an old acquain tance has got rich. They cannot forgive tliat these more fortunate individuals should have finer honses or more elegant fnnrniture than themselves, and hence they never omit an opportunity to say something disparaging, or when this can not bo done, at least to sneer. Bturb peo- *e are the pests of society. Their un- ippy organization makes them a curse to themsi-lves and to everybody else.— They ore your real scandalmonger*.— They go about like ragpickers raking in the dirt, bat looking not for gems, bnt for mud to throw at others. Less faulty, but still censurable, ore your gossips pure and simple. These talk solely to hear themselves talk.— They chatter like so many silly magpies, abont this and that neighbor, not intend ing to do harm, bnt simply because they id'audit, «p6n ly set forth tlio amount, on what account, and by whom paid; and shall be lodged a i vouchers in the Comptroller's office; aud to pay out the some only upon tho warrants of tho Governor, when counter signed by tlie Comptroller-General, ex cepting the drafts of tlie President of the Senate and Speaker of tbo House of Rep resentatives, for tho sums dm to the members ami officers of tb- .r respeetr bodies.” The present Treasurer, however, r porta a schedule of 88 Executive warrants issued by the Governor and countersigned by the Comptroller-General, in payment for lawful accounts, duly audited, against the State, in favor of nearly, if not quite, the same nnmberof citizens, ‘'payment of which,” to nse the Treasurer’s lan guage, “has been refused by the Treas urer, he lielieving them to be illegal, by the manner of drawing, and fearing he wonld be liable oq his bond for th amount if paid by him.” The attention of your honorable bod. is invited to the novelty of this proceed ing.

Til* New Constitution—A Nut fob Bullock.—We wish to ask Bnllock and his organs a question. They have pend ing, and already passed by the Senab resolution declaring that there shall no election in Georgia until it shall be decided whether the State constitution went into effect in 1870. They maintain that it did not go into effect nntil the latter vear, and that tbe present Govern or ami Legislature are provisional and chosen under the Reconstruction Acts. If this be tree, how can they avoid an election now for Uorernor, an entire Sen- and an eutire House, on the day named iu the constitution.’ If therepom- tion be correct, there has been no election nnder tbe constitntion, for an election in 18G8 con, by no stretch of the imagination be presumed to be held nnder a constitu tion which did not go into effect nntil 1870.

Of onr 0 per cent, bonds L-sued before tlie war, say $155,000 full due this year, and a portion aro now past due. There are also sumo Cl8,000 sterling, being £15,000 sterling bonds, which fell due in 18G8, and interest on the same, amount ing to about £3,000 sterling still unpaid. This failure to meet promptly the State's indebtedness, does not arise from any want of solvency on our part, but simply from tho peculiar uud anomalous political condition which has existed du ring the last two years. Now, however, we are in proper condition to act upon tho internal affairs of the State, aud meet all financial wants by appropriate legisla tion. Tho legislati'm iu regard to onr public debt, which was enacted by your honor able predecessors, was not of a character to advance thecredit of the State. Hold ers of our6 percent, bonds, issued before the war and falling due in ISG6, 1887, 1868 and 1889, were compelled to receive currency bonds in exchange or go nn paid. This course was simply a com pulsory renewal of our matured indebt edness or fist repudiation, and could not prove otherwise than detrimental to onr credit, both at home and abroad, but the well known magnificence of onr resour ces and the comparative inm^oiacance of onr pnblic debt lias prevented, to a great extent, tbe disos’rous effect upon our credit which wonld have been experi enced if our debt had been larger. In 1866 the Legislature, assembled der tlie authority derived from the procla mation of President Johnson, authorized the fane of some 3,900,000 of currency bonds, bearing seven pot cent currency interest and csrrying a special mortgage on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, executed to three persons named in the act as trustees. I am convinced that this act wo* unwise and injarous to the credit of the Htate. Capitalists who bay State bonds os an investment very naturally conclue that a State making a special mortgage upon a particularly described piece of property has little else behind In the way of resoaroea to meet ita indebt edness, and no amount of explanation, even if sensitive capital wouid stop to listen, con overcome tbe unfortunate Im pression thus created. The bonds of tlie State issued before the war, und the interest thereon, should be'paid in gold. If the State was liable to a suit in court, such payment could be compelled under the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States; bat independent of that, good faith, un der tbe implied agreement when tho bonds were fasoed, would demand of - ns tho redemption of these bonds when doe, in a currency of the some value as that which we received for them when issued; and no ' act will more promptly fix the value of onr credit than thus voluntarily meeting to the letter on? financial obliga tions. To offer a second series of 7 per cent, currency bonds not carrying a special mortgage, would certainly fix a market rota tor them below that now placed, up- plan till ami is now in tlio orchard of Dr. John Ij.
