more in it than appears on the •surface
After Mr. Lincoln had be*.n killed,
the people here were crazy with excite
ment. Booth, who was an act-r and a
perfect master of bis profession, was a
cool-headed, determined, reslute man.
He believed that the deed which he
was to commit would rid the wot Id of
a tyrant, and would be as perfectly
justifiable as the killing of Caesar by j
Bratus or the killing of Marat by
Charlotte Corday. He no doabt made
and perfected at his leisure, all the
arrangements for his escape. It was
his business, as an actor, so disguse
himself that his most intimate friends
could not recognize him, and of course
he was able to do so. In all probabili- j
ty, after he fired the fatal shot he re
tired at once to some private room,
quickly changed himself into a poor
recently discharged soldier, or a Lieu
tenant of the Navy, or a venerable and
respectable physician, accompanied by
a servant, or a clergyman with white
choker and spectacles, or a patent
medicine agect with his box of speci
men medicines, or a wounded officer
accompanied by an orderly, or any one
of a dozen other characters which he j
could assume, and defy detection, j
There are scores ot places in this city
where he could have remained that
night, and in the morning he probably
Lit in the cars for Baltimore, and pro
ceeded direct to Canada. The official
documents published by the govern
ment on the subject, Report of Secre
tary of war, 1865-66, Vol. 2, page
1,05 ft. say that Booth left the city
that night on horseback, crossed the
eastern branch of the Potomac river,
crossed the Potomac river itself, at its
widest point, many miles below Wash
ington, crossed the Rappahannock
river, and was not killed till the 2Gth
of April, twelve days after the murder 1 !
If Booth got out of the city that easy, I
and crossed three large rivers, and
traveled more than eighty miles, how
much easier could he have rode on
horseback that night, in one of his dis
guises., or in the disguise of an officer
making his rounds, attend by an order
ly merely from Washington to Balti
more, and have taken the cars there
next morning, for Canada? In fact,
there are a dozen ways in which he
might have got away from Washing
ton for the North, and in all probabili
ty he did make use of one of them.
Baker however, Boston Corbety, and
some other detectives, tracked some
poor wretch to a barn in a swamp
south of the Rappahannock river : and
although there were thousands of
cavalry soldiers within a few miles,
and twenty or thirty on the spot, these
valorous detectives shot this poor
wretch through the logs of the barn
and then gave out that it was Booth
wham they had killed. If it was
Booth, nothing would have been easier
than to identify the body, as there
were f undreds of people here who
knew him. But instead of doing that
no one was allowed to see the body of
the poor wretch. It was brought here
kept carefully secluded from every
eye, and it is said was destroyed by
chemical means. So that really there
ii not a thread of evidence to show that
Booth was ever killed.
On the other hand, letters have
been received here by different persons
at different times during the last few
months, from persons in Europe who
know Booth, saying that he is there,
alive and well. There is certainly a
mystery about the matter, which is yet
to be unraveled.

Kentucky Election —44 counties
heard from give a Democratic majori
ty of 27,428.- Not a single county has
yet reported a majority for Hobson,
the opponent of Duval, for Clerk of
the Court of Appeals. Sixty-six coun- j
ties remain to be heard from. The j
Courier thinks the majority in the
State will exceed 40,000, and may
even reach, or go beyond, 50,000,

The Democratic Victory in
Kentucky.
In the election for a Clerk of the
Court of Appeals in Kentucky, which
took place on Monday last, Judge Du
vall, the Democratic candidate, was
elected by a majority ranging from
twenty-five to thirty thousand. One
of the most remarkable features of the
election was the fact that every ward
in the city of Louisville gave a major
ity for the Democratic candidate.
The Louisville Courier, exulting
over the splendid victory, says : “It is
with pride and exultation that we send i
forth the glad tidings of great joy that
Kentucky once more stands erect, free
from the shackles which for five long
years have weighed her down, and true
to those ancient principles of civil and
religious liberty which have been
brightened rather than dimmed by her
frightful experence in the arts and
practices of a military depotism.”

PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION.
This Convention met yesterday the 14tb,
but of course, it is yet too early for us to
be able to give any news of its proceed
ings. The Radicals threatened to bieak
up the Convention, or take steps to pre
vent its organization, but we presume, that
desperate as their cause has become, they
are not yet quite ready to begin another
bloody civil war. That great excitement
prevailed in the Quaker city upon the sud
den invasion of so many resuscitated Re
bels, wo can easily believe, but we trust
the trembling fears of the Radicals abated,
rrlitu tbey their pacifio mtcavlono.
JTIBOE It. It, CFRTIS.
Hon. Benj. R. Curtis, of Massachusetts,
will long be remembered for the able dis
senting opinion he delivered from the bench
of the Supreme Court, in the celebrated
Dred Scott case in 1857. In a recent let
ter on the Philadelphia Convention, now
in session, he said :
“ To suppose that the Government of the
United S ates can, in a state of peace,
rightfully hold and exercise absolute and
unlimited power over a part of its territory
and people, just-so long as it may choose
to do so, appears to me to be unwarranted
by any rules of public law, abhorrent to
right reason, and inconsistent with the
nature of our Government.”
MJfOW WHOSE WITHERS ARE
wrix; ?”
Not ours, Mr. Editor of the Quitman
Banner, or at least., we have not been able
to feel the “wringing.” But perhaps we
1 are as insensible to the keen thrusts of the
! editor’s wit as he found us to be to the con
's vineing power of his arguments. However
this may be, the editor cannot blame us for
our want of sensibility after his reply to
our remarks upon his superior “ moral
rectitude,’-’ nor ceusure us for our want of
, understanding to appreciate the force of
his argumen s, after the exordium in his
last issue, upon our efforts to set him
’ straight on the laws of advertising. IVe
heard, or read him patiently, and replied
to him dispassionately—if he is not con
vince lit is notour fault. We have no do
sire for the last word, and will conclude
therefore, simply by correcting an error
into which the editor seems to have fallen,
in reference to our disposition toward the
Banner.
We never had any desire to “ retard the
prosperity ” of the Banner —certainly never
made any effort to do so, and even now,
hope that it may receive a 1 the encour
agement and enjoy all the prosperity to
which its merits may entitle it. Can you
say as much for the Enterprise our way

The Richmond Times says there
never was a time when the Southern

South more vigilantly, fearlessly and
usefully than now. The evidence of
this ability, fidelity and efficiency can
be found in the curses, imprecations
groans and yells of all the detected,
, flagellated and exposed petty military
tyrants, unworthy judges, thievish
cotton agents, and mousing agents of
the Freedmen’s Bureau, who were
turned loose to prey upon the South

The Great Fires of the North
—Anonymous Letter From the
South. —The Portland Press pub ish
es the following letter, which, it says,
wasieceived in that city by the Post
master :
Lorisx*TLLE, Ky., July S, 1866.
P. J !. Portland , Maine :
Dear Sir —General Sherman, the
Great Arson and Fire King, is once
more abroad with his incendiary
torches; every day we hear of de
structive fire 9 in some locality at the
North. As long as Sherman remain
ed stationary at St. Louis and Chicago
fires were principally confined to these
places. Now that this great desolator
is on his march North, we hear daily
of fires either in his front or rear.
Day before yesterday the town of
Lawrenceburg, Indiana, was consumed
by fire. Yesterday we heard of your
town soffering from the fires of Heaven
and to-day another fire is reported
in Pensylvania; and I look for such
reports daily, until the vengeane of
the Almighty is appeased by the de
struction of seven-fold the amount
inflicted by the desolating march
through the South by the Great Arson
King—fires in his front, fires in his
rear, fires at his right, ard fires at his
left hand, is destined to be your fate
at the North. The total destruction of
New York city and Boston by fire
would not equal the sixty-mile-widc
tramp of Sherman through Georgia.
I just call your attention to this mat
ter in order that your curiosity may
lead you to observe, etc.
Yours, John Smith.
Refused to Give Him up.—
Brownlow’s Whig, of last week, says :
“Gov. Jenkins, of Georgia, recently
made a requisition on Gov. Brownlow
for the person of a gallant Federal
officer at Nashville, the nephew of
General Burnside, upon a charge of
stealing cotton. The Governor refus
ed to surrender him, and the Georgia
rebels speak of it as an outrage, and
threaten to carry the case before the
President. When it becomes neces
sary the Governor of Tennessee will
lay the correspondence before the
country, which will vindicate his ac
tion fully, and justify the refusal. —
The President can turn aside, if he
thinks proper, and serve his rebel
Iriends by the surrender of a gallant
Federal officer, but the Governor .of
Tennessee will not gratify the malig
nant spirit of rebeldom by any such
surrender. AH that is wanting in
Georgia to imprison or hang a Federal
officer or soldier, is to get him before
a Georgia jury, charged with an of
fence.”
It is thus that the constitutional
obligations of Tennessee and the com
ity of the States are set aside by tho
ruffianly Governor of Tennessee. He
openly harbors and protects thieves
who have fled from other States, and
under a pretext which he knows to be
utterly false. A Federal officer would
have as fair and impartial a Lr'cll in
Georgia as he would in Tennessee or
the District of Columbia. Alter such
conduct we hope our Executive will
suspend all official relations with the
State of Tennessee so long as Brown
low shall continue to disgrace her
gubernatorial chair.— Macon Tele

A New Material for Paper.—
The Secretary of the Interior yester
day received from a gentlemen in
New Jersey samples of paper manu
factured from sedge prass —a grass
which grows in great abundance upon
all tidewater flats. The paper is very
white and clear, and will undoubtedly
proove a good substitute for ordinary
writing paper made of eotton or linen
rags. It is estimated that it can be
manufactured for twenty per cent less
than any variety now in use. — Chron

Debt of the United States.—
From the just publish statement of the
Secretary of the Treasury, it appears
that the total debt < f the United
States was, on the 15th instant $2,
770,416, 608 99 ; cash in the Treasu
ry, $137, 317,332, 61, of which s6l,
332,126 57 is coin. And the amount
of debt less cash in the Treasury,
$2,633,099,276 38. On the Ist of
August, 1865, the debt less cash in
the Treasury was $2,757,253,275 86;
showing a reduction of -3124,153,999

The Times’ London letter says of j
the attitude of Kuropean politics, the
actual question is, will Austrii consent
to resign all power, all right in Ger
many, and leave Prussia supreme con
troller of 40,000.000 Germans ? Con
senting to this, Austria may have
peace with an empire of 33.000,000 of
people; if she will not consent, then
Prussia will attempt to excite revolt
in Hungary, and will do her utmost
to Llot Austria from the map of Eu
rope. The Emperor of France insist
ed upon Austria being maintained as
a power. Now he appears to have
renounced that part of his programme,
and urges Austria to accept the terms
of peace offered by Prussia and Italy ;
but there is something concealed ; the
Emperor is not ready to interfere, and
he may have been converted by the
needle-gun to Prussian policy.
