The Assassination of Lincoln. A Raminiscne of the Crime of ,T. Wilkes Booth, Sixteen Years Ago. The Washington morning papers of Friday-, April 14, 1865, announced. that the President and Gen. Grant would that evening at tend the per formance of 'Our American Cousin' at Ford's Theatre. Gen. Grant did not keep his engagement with the Presider't, but left with his wife that afternoon for Burlington. The Pres ident, knowing that a large number of friends would be present, and not wishing to disappoint them, reluc tantly determined to keep his engage ment. When the pafty-consisting of the President, Mrs. Lincoln, Major Rathibone and Miss Harris-entered their box, the whole assemblage, hav ing in mind the. recent Union vic tories and the return of peace, arose, S 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 Rlathbone was seated behind Mrs. Lincoln. The curtain had 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 dlant, he overpowered him with his grand air and the words, 'I am a Senator; the President has sent for tue.' As he entered, Major Rath -bone arose. 'Are you aware, sir,' he said cdurteously, 'upon whom you are intruding? This is the President's -box, and no one is admitted.' Booth uttered net a word, either of explana tion or apology. Fastening hi:, eyes upon Mr. Lincoln, who had half turn ed his head to ascertain the cause of the disturbance, he stepped quickly backwards out of the box and out of sight, partly closing the door. Draw ingi 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 movements of the assassin from this moment were pan ther-like in their rapidity. Flinging opnthe door he sprang into the box to see the effect of his shot fired so blind y.Dropping his pistol upon the floor he 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 form of the President, as if he wished to be certain that his work was fully done, he stepped upon the velvet.covered balust:-ade at the front of the box, between Mrs. Lin co!n and Miss Harris, and parting with both bands the flags that droop ed on either side leaped to the stage beneath. His spur catching in the drapery made him lose his balance, nd he fell, spraining his ankle. He seemed to be unaware of the fact. Rlising and turning fuill upon the audience, with the knife lifted in his Sright hand above his head, he shouted: * ~Sicsem p rutranns-.Virai nia is' ivenaed.' Another irst.n. and he had fled across t:e stage dos*, nock iL, down one imn who attempted to intercept him and an actress who aceidentally 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 amid the silence that for a few sec onds dwelt in the interior of the the atre. So quickly bad 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, a1 call for water from Miss Harris, and the ghastly truth broke upon all ,The President is murdered !' 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 :nedical skill could do was done with out avail and all through the night, while the horror-stricken crowds out ,ide swept and gathered along the atreets, while the military and police were patroling a cordon about the city, while men were arming and ask 1ng, 'What victim next?' while the telegraphs was sending the news from tity to city, and while the assassir was speeding fast away-his choseu friends watched at his bedside the Aowly 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, EIarrold and Mrs. Surratt for 'con structive treason,' the enormous re wards offered for the arrest of Sanders, Tucker and other leading Southerners, who promptly 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 official circies. It is only ow, after the lapse oi sixteen years that the truth has begun to crystalize and the facts attending the assassina tion brought together. Connon 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 sufficient mdicum 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 moral 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 office 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 topic 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. Then he had a mission among the newspapers, and got up wild schemes for getting other people to furnish money that he night 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 the 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 ri.d 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. lie is not a fruit of anything ; he is simply a worm-eaten windfall. His friends cannot he charged with neglect of duty, for he has never been idiotic enough to be sent to an asylum for the feeble-minded, or crazy enough to be sent to an hospital for the insane ; and his vices 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, would have taken him in hand long ago, but in the present im perfect state of human laws there has been no way to interfe;e with Guiteau's personal freedom. Hie will not serve as a warning to parents, for he was well brought up; nor as a frightful example to boys, for he did not, in the ordinary sense fall in te. ,vil ways.

It uatters little what becomes of Duiteau. Hanging would be a cow. pli,e,t to his intelligence, and would very likely seem to him a heroic way of going out of the world. His pre decessor in assassination, sixteen years ago, was shot like a dog in the street, and his crime was never dignified by a trial. If Guiteau's worthless life had somehow been snuffed out in the depot at Washington, Saturday morn ing, it would have been taxing hu man nature too much to ask any re grets over his speedy dissolution.

Several newspaperd have taken the same view that we expressed ast week as to the propriety of rs. Garfield's accepting the money ontribution from the New York Chamber of Commerce. Other papers, however, and among them ome that have been foremost in busing Gen. Grant as the great gift-taking President, still land the givers to the skies for their "noble and generous act", and can see no impropriety in it. Abraham Lincoln was certainly as good a President as Garfield. The South cheerfully accords to him the credit of having been one of the best and purest men that ever occupied the White House. The North has always looked upon him with peculiar veneration and they honor and revere his name as few men h-ive ever been honored. Yet there has never been a fund raised for Mrs. Lincoln ; and. if newspaper reports are true, such a fund would be very opportune, for she is in straitened circumstances. To our mind there is something exceedingly vulgar in this offer of money to Mrs. Garfield, while her husband was lying at the point of death, and she was overwhelmed with grief. Money can be no con solation to a refined mind at such a time. The offer of $250,000 by the Chamber of Commerce has since taken a wider range, and has be come somewhat national in its scope, everybody being permitted and invited, at the suggestion of the New York Herald, to contri bute. The Chamber of Commerce, before this suggestion, had raised among themselves about half the amount. Mrs. Garfield has not signified her aceptance or refusal of the offer. Guiteau, the President's would be assassin, is not permitted to enjoy the extensive notoriety that he has attained. He is not al lowed to see a newspaper, nor a newspaper reporter ; nor is he in formed as to the President's condi tion, He exhibits no signs of re morse or regret for his act ; and shows no symptoms of insanity. He occupies himself principally in reading the Bible. The jeadlock at Albany, N. Y., which lasted for seven weeks, was broken Saturday, 16th.

J" Our Washington Letter. be fo WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13, 1881. Yesterday and Monday were almost as dismal in Washington as the corres-W ponding days of the previous week. In ~ some way an impression had gotten at abroad that the President was rapidly so growing weaker, and that the case had N got beyond the control of the physicians. , It was known that on Monday there was an extraordinary and wholly un expected rise in the temperature of the patient's body and the official bulletin i placed IL close to the figures at which n death is inevitable. Tuesday morning's ar bulletin reported a reduction, but unof-. ficial statements direct from the White House said the President was much weaker than at any previous time, and was hinaself losing hope. This morn-li ing's report was encouraging, but pub- pi lic belief in the President's recovery, so U strong here in the latter part of the in week, has not been restored folly. The h< artificial cooling of the President's e, room is under most complete control. The temperature in the room can beR. kept at aniy desired point and the air is mn dryer even than that in rooms of the ci house in which the apparatus is not used. Tbn successful man in the case Of ieia New Yorker, temporarily living in wi Baltimore, and the patentee of nearly , two bundred inventions. Vice-President Arthur left town this P1 morning. He will remain in New wi York for the present, however, so as to be within early call if alarming symp tomb should be developed in the Presi- ri, dent's case. He goes with the concur- ri rnce of the Cabinet, as he came at its request. Hie did not see the President, tb the physicians fearing the effect of the 01 excitement, but had several interviews p with Mrs. Garfield. All the President's friends say he will as: not accept or wish any member of his family to accept the quarter of a mil lion of dollars now being subscribed in mi New York. In the cases of Presidents g Taylor and Lincoln, Congress voted to . the survivors of the deceased Presidents 101 the full salary of the remainder of their p terms, and if, unhappily, the like fatalh result should occur in this case, it would h doubtless do the same. It would no Up doubt be more satisfying to all concern ed that Congress should by a unanimous vote thus provide for the President's S1 representaitives, than to ac%cept money th as a gift from a limited number of per- a sons. Guiteau's health continues good and an his appetite enables him to dispose of laj the full allowance of prison fare. That his nind is out of balance seems certain * from all we learn of him, but his mem- tix ory of events in his life is wonderful. abi His story drawn out by skillful ques tions from the District Attorney ha d been five or six times taken down as we told by' him, and not one sane man in C ten would make so few contradictions. His account of the assassination is clear an and more consistent than that which Ne can be got from the combined stories or eye witnesses.
