AThe Assassination of Lincoln. s. - m of the Crime of3..Wilkea Booth, Sixteen Years ago. The Washington morning papers of Friday, April 14, 1865, ann,ounced that the President and Gen- Grant would that .evening attend the per. Sformance of 'Our American Cousin' %t Ford's Theatre. Gen. Grant did not keep his engagement with the Presidervt, but lefc-with his wife that afternoon for Burlington. The Pres ident, knowing that a large number Sfriends would be present, and not wishing to disappoint them, relue -tantly determined to keep his engage ment.Whenthe pafty-consisting of the President, Mrs. Lincoln, Major Rathbone and Miss Harris-entered their box, the whole assemblage, hav ing- in mind the., recent Union vic tories, and the- return of peace, arose, cheered, waved hats and kerchiefs, and could scarcely be quieted, so in tense was the enthusiasm. The box was twelve feet above the stage. The President took a chair at the corner nearer the audience, Mrs. Lincoln oc cupied a seat in the middle, and Miss Harris the corner opposite Mr. Lin coln. Major Rathbone was seated behind Mrs. Lincoln. The curtain Shad just arisen on the third act when J. Wilkes -Booth' walked up to the door of the box and attempted to enter. When stopped by the atten dant, he overpowered him with his grand air and the words, 'I am a SeTlator ; the President has sent for me.' As he entered, Major Rath bone arose. 'Are you aware, sir,' he said edurteously, 'upon whom you are intruding? This is the President's box, and no one is admitted.' Booth uttered not a word, either of explana tion or apology. Fastening his eyes upon Mr. Lincoln, who had half turn ed his head tb, ascertain the cause of the disturbance, he stepped quickly bakwards out of the box and out of sight, partly closing the door. Draw ing a Derringer pistol, and taking by means of some almost miraculous calculation a deadly aim if it can be so-called, he fired through the closed door, the bullet entering the Presi dent's brain. The naovements of the assassin from this moment were pan ther-like in their rapidity. Flinging open the door he sprang into the box to see the effect of his shot fired so blind ly. Dropping his pistol upon the floor be drew a bowie-knife and struck one blow at Major Rathbone, who had attempted to oppose him, inflicting a severe flesh wound. Glancing once at the lifeless foa m of the President, as if he wished to be certain that his work was fully done, he step-ped upon the velvet-covered balustrade at the front of the box, between Mrs. Lin coin and Miss Harris, and parting wt bohbdstefastadro edt oethe handte laest tht draop 1 nn either side leaned to the stage ivenged.' Another inst:.n. and he had fled across the stage duvr, knock icz down one mc,u who attempted to intercept him and an actress who accidentally came in his way. Leap ing upon the fleet little mare held by Sprangler in total unconsciousness of the important part he was playing in the great drama, the assassin rode rapidly away unpursued. His horse's boofs might almost have been heard imid the silence that for a few sec onds dwelt in the interior of the the atre. So quickly had it all passed that only one man in the vast au dience understood what had happened or what the strange interruption meant. A scream from Mrs. Lincoln, a call for water from Miss Harris, and the ghastly truth broke upon all 'The President is murdered 1' The eene that ensued was as tumultuous and terrible as one of Dante's pictures of hell. Women shrieked, fainted or went into hysterics; men rushed hither and thither, shouting, crying for vengeance. Miss Laura Keene :advanced to the foot lights and en treated the audience to be calm ; then ascending the stair to the box and taking the dying President's head upon her lap began bathing it with the water she had brought. Rapidly his clothing was stripped from his neck and breast to find the wound, and it was only after some moments of vain search that the dress of Miss Keene stained with blood revealed where the ball had penetrated. Not a movement betrayed consciousness from the moment the bullet entered the brain until life passed away, at 7 o'clock the next morning. Carefully removing him from the theatre to a dwelling across the street, all that medical skill could do was done with out avail and all through the night, while the horror-stricken crowds out side swept and gathered along the :treets, while the military and police were patroling a cordon about the city, while men were arming and ask Ing, 'What victim next ?' while the telegraphs was sending the news from =;ity to city, and while the assassin was speeding fast away-his chosen friends watched at his bedside the slowly ebbing life. The attempt to assassinate Secre tary Seward ; the death of Booth in a barn by a shot fired through the closed door by Sergeant Boston Cor bet ; the arrest, trial and conviction by a court martial of Payne, Atzerodt, Hiarrold and Mi-s. Surratt for 'con s tructive treason.' the enormous re wards offered for the arrest of Sanders, Tucker and other leading Southerners, wh rmptly surrendered themselves, produced a perfect intoxication of the public mind, and the wildest and most absurd stories of conspiracy and of guilt were believed even in the highest offcial circles. ~It is only now, after the lapse of sixteen years that the truth has begun to crystahize and the facts attending the assassina tion brought together. Common Sense About Guiteau. From the Inter-Ocean. There is no other created thing in this world quite so dangerous as a fool. When the fool has just a suffeient modicum of brains to become crazy the danger is doubled. When a being of this make-up studies law, he simply adds method to his madness ; and when, in addition to all the rest, he be comes possessed of some sort of a reli gious frenzy, his capacity for mischief complete. Such a combination of is morai and intellectual odds and ends is Guiteau. He has been well enough known here in Chicago, off and on, for these fifteen years. He was a sort of hanger-on at the office of a very respectable attorney here, whose kindness he abused in every im aginable way, until he was finally gotten rid of, and then for a season he professed to practice law in an offce of his own. He had neither brains enough to cheat people out of a living, nor honesty enough to excuse his want of capacity, and so he fared but poorly in the law. He turned his attetien to theological pursuits and made a book. He came to under stand all spiritual mysteries, and gave public lectures on religious topics or would if he. could have got an audience together in response to his numerous advertisements. HIe knew all about the second coming of Jesus Christ, and there was no hidden thing that he could not expound. The.n he had a mission among the newspapers, and got up wild schemes for getting other people to furnish money that he nmight instruct the world through a daily publication of his own. He went to New York, and did manage there to get so far into the mysteries of journalism as to be arrested for confiscating money collected for one of the gaeat dailies of that city. He took in politics as a part of tbe uni versal affairs of mankind which need ed his guidance, and has latterly been a pestiferous loafer about Washington, whom nobody ever wanted to see or was able to get risl of. He has now probably gratified the loftiest reach of his ambition. He has immortalized himself as the meanest sneak of the nineteenth century. There is no lesson to be learned from such a thing as Guiteau. He is not the fruit of despotism, nor the fruit of republicanism. He is not a fruit of anything ; he is simply a worm-eaten windfall. His friends cannot be charged with neglect of duty, for he has never been idiotic Ienough to be sent to an asylum for Ithe feeble-minded, or crazy enough to be sent to an hospital for the insane ; and his sices have not heretofore been vigorous enough to land him in the penitentiary. The fool-killer, if the world were only blessed with such a benefactor, wou1d have taken him in hand evil ways. He w!s not ruined by bad companion" nu by stron: dri:k. He a act p..int.d at as a :bbath breaker, .w:r as a scoffer at re:igion. He h,s had no dowufall. .Ill that - he ever was he continuod to be up to the day of the assissination. He was sim1ply an intellectual weakling witlh out moral sense. He caine near kill ing his own sister once, to whom he w ::der every obligation fr ele an~d support, but still he did not usually manifest a murderous disposi tiou, and was not considered an uusafe nman to have at large. It matters little what becomes of Guiteau. Hanging would be a cow- . pli:ne.t to his intelligence, and would very likely seem to him a heroic way of going out of the world. His pre- i decessor in assassination, sixteen years t ago, was shot like a dog in the street, I and his crime was never dignified by v a trial. If Guiteau's worthless life had somehow been snuffed out in the depot at Washington, Saturd ay morn ing, it would have been taxing hu- t man nature too much to ask any re grets over his speedy dissolution.

That Fund. d Several newspapers have taken he same view that we expressed C ast week as to the propriety of e rs. Garfield's accepting the money ontribution from the New York hamber of Commerce. Other 0 >apers, however, and among them 0 ome that have been foremost in ti ,busing Gen. Grant as the great rift-taking President, still land the li ivers to the skies for their "noble C .nd generous act", and can see no t mpropriety in it. v Abraham Lincoln was certainly p is good a President as Garfield. d Che South cheerfully accords to dim the credit of having been one li >f the best and purest men that S ,ver occupied the White House. t he North has always looked upon o iim with peculiar veneration and hey honor and revere his name as y ew men have ever been honored. a et there has never been a fund j -ised for Mrs. Lincoln ; and. if c iewspaper reports are true, such a und would be very opportune, for t ,he is in straitened circumstances. t: To our mind there is something d ceedingly vulgar in this offer of t noney to Mrs. Garfield, while her j lusband was lying at the point of j leath, and she was overwhelmed t vith grief. Money can be no con- 1: olation to a refined mind at such a L time. The offer of $250,000 by the 5 Jhamber of Commerce has since v ;aken a wider range, and has be onme somewhat national in its icope, everybody being permitted Lnd invited, at the suggestion of ;he New York Herald, to contri >te. The Chamber of Commerce, >efore this suggestion, had rais-ed a mong themselves about half the Lrount. Mrs. Garfield has not signified a er accptance or refusal of the g >ffer. Guiteau, the President's would- v >e assassin, is not permitted to e injoy the extensive notoriety that I ue has attained. He is not al owed to see a newspaper, nor a tewspaper reporter ; nor is he in- g ormed as to the President's condi- E ion. He exhibits no signs of re- v rorse or regret for his act ; and v hows no symptoms of insanity. ii le occupies himself principally in l eading the Bible. The deadlock at Albany, N.

Yesterday and Monday were almos s dismal in Washington as the corres nding days of the previous week.

Tuesday mornings ulletin reported a reduction, but unof cial statements direct from the White [ouse said the President was muck reaker than at any previous time, ani as hinaself losing hope. This morn ig's report was encouraging, but pub. c belief in the President's recovery, et ong here in the latter part of the reek, has not been restored fully.

From the Torrid to the Arctic-American Eotal--Beautiful Gharch-plendid Choir -Tears-Parker's Alieviator--Chas's rlotel-Trunks-The Big Drug Store, &c., &c. - The objective point is reached, we are at Hendersonville, "the land of the skies," mountain breezes, pure water, tender beef, juicy mutton and fat chickeus. For proof of the latter the reader is referred to Dr. Mayer, Sr. And here we will tarry for a time. The temperature is delightful, and after the sweltering, melting heat of the last ten or twelve days the change is wonderfully refreshing-so sudden the transition that it seemed like fly iug from the TORRID TO AN ARCTIC REGION. A thunder shower did the business, breaking the back, it is hoped effec tually, of the hot wave. It might prove interesting if some one having nothing else to do would ascertain the quantity of perspiration shed recently, and make the figures public. At 4.35 Saturday morning, to get ahead of the sun, your affectionate correspondent and his wife left Glenn's, considerably benefitted by the water, and reached Spartanburg in time for breakfast at Col. Speights' hotel, the American. This fine, commodious hostelry is well kept, and is a CREDIT TO THE GROWING CITY. Our feed was excellent, and put us both in splendid condition for a run down to Union to enjoy more of the hospi tality of our friends, the Parkers. There on Saturday night the first breeze since leaving home was felt, we rolled and rioted in it, and enjoyed the shower which fell during the opera tion. Attending the Methodist Church Sunday morning we were most agree ably surprised in finding so beautiful an edifice, and so tastefully furnished -giving evidence of a refinement and generosity on the part of its member ship, alike gratifying to the eye and heart. Rev. R. D. Smart is the spir itual head. The singing by the choir was very fine, and the organist a fin ished and beautiful performer. It was an unexpected treat, church music seldom according with our taste and desires. We are please~d to say that Jack J. has the honor of being a mem ber of this superior choir, and as be fore stated is a good boy. Here we had the gratification of RENEWING ACQUAINTAN~CE with a charming and intelligent lady, Mrs. Humphreys, who with exceeding amiability and patience endured our society on a trip through the Hickory INut Gap to Asheville and Alexander's on the French Broad some nine years ago, without a murmur. It was a pleasant trip and we would not forget it. And now, reader, comes mention not so pleasant, and we bid you if you are at all given to the melting mood to PREPARE TO SHED A FEW TEARS. Monday morning dawned serenely, all nature siniled, the usual amount of life and bustle was seen inside that pile of brick and mortar known as t.he pUnion Hotel, but there was a skeleton in that house, one heart bled ; alas ! how can Jt be related. At eight o'clock we were to be sacrificed on the altar of duty, we were to be changed into that most melancholy of specta cles, a poor grass widower; the sharer of our joys and sorrows, she who had wiped the perspiration from our brow with one hand, and with a five cent palmetto in the other kept off the flies while we labored for the HERALD, would return hosme to see if it was all right with the little ones. It was right though and we will not murmur, the children must be looked after. Our 13ss was their gain. Mr. W. C. Parker was largely instrumental in assuaging the deep grief with AN "ALLEVJATOR' most soothing and tranquilizing in its effects and that with the hope that an interesting widow would cross our path and share our wretchedness, helpe'a in a great measure to bear us up. A short and hot ride from Union to Spartanburg, and a cool ride from there in the rain, with an interesting and sweet little mother on the left, and bright eyed little Nellie in our lap, we reached Hendersonville just as twilight dews began to fall, and get ting into an omnibus packed with about twenty ladies and as many chil dren, the only wale in the party, we were driven to the hotel of wine host Chase, who stood ready to shake hands and give welcome. The arrival of a New York Steamer could have created but little more excitement than did our 'bus as the ladies and little ones piled out in the fast growing moon light, and the flitting about of waiters and chambermaids with snowy towels, and fresh water, the lighting of lamps, added to all, while the A '~7IVO V I~ThA~ I -a great cr,sidieration in a sleeping apartment-endl ' w w- r and as cool as a cu'uinbL.r. ii tt;e nrrina of the 'bus was an event, that of ti:e b aggae ws m:uore so, tihe pile Of tru:,t w.s b:;r::e, t he. Sizt of some of thew larg,r, a few looking as is they might contain a fashionable belle or two ready to spritg out and dazzle the mountain2 hoosiers ; alas, though there wurc neither belles in the huge Sara togas nor any in the party, all were married ladies, with their nurses and the interesting fruits of married life, there was not even a charming youug widow, therefore thought was conceu trated on the supper soon to come. But those huge, ponderous trunks, the dread of perters and waiters, and which poor horses groan and break down under, why do our women per sist in such a KILLING FASHION. Bergh should make an effort to put a stop to it for the benetit of the poor animals. Ima,iae a first cinss Mor mon Eider with forty wives, each with two or three Saratogas. Why travel would be stopped, trains delayed and no end of trouble come. Well, in due time, the baggage all bestowed, and every lady having gone to the bottom of hers to see if all was right, and waiter and chambermaid allowed to turn to other duties, the supper bell sounded. We wou't tell what all of nice and good things there were lest some old fellow might think that we care overmuch for the flesh pots suffice it there was abundance and variety, while the irrepressible c. fry prevailed largely, and full justice was done to the feast. These mountain landlords know how to feed and have a fellow-feeling for their low country brothers. The town is not yet as full as it will be or has been, and yet every house seems to have as many as it can conveniently bold, still as the crowd increases it is stowed away to the best advantage, and the happy landlord rubs his hands and SAYS LET 'EM COME, while he counts up the gains. Last night furnished a lively picture, thir ty-two men, women and children sought shelter of Chase and fortunate ly found it. It was hard work though and the night was far advanced before the swarm was hived-on this occasion the trunks outnumbered the party. How it was at the other houses we know not, but suppose it was about the same, the train bringing an unu sual number of seekers of cool air. Friend Dodarnead keeps a capital house and is full; he is as happy as the day is long. Hack drivers-and there is a legion of them-are doing a driving business, and will take you to Cosar's Head, Buck Forest, Asheville or any point desired for a cash con sideration-the arrival of the ears and the departure of stages and hacks form the great features of the day. There always was and will ever be a certain charm about the stage coach and its prancing horses, (they always start out with the finest and after a few miles put in sorry backs,) but the orn, the mellow, winding horn is no longer heard, and the driver is not the lively fellow of old-there are no Wellers now. One of the big insti tutions of Hlendersonville is PELHAM'S BIG DRUG STORE. It is larger than its parent in New berry, and Dr. Sam. is justly proud of what he has done. He is a hard worker and he shows great energy in building up such a business. It is not strange that his success has stirred up opposition, and soon there will be another house of the same kind. An. other nice shower yesterday accompa nied with much thunder an.d light ung, and in consequence the atmos phere continues delicious, it being cool enough last night for thick coats.
