Secretary Stanton on the Death OF
the President.

The Cork Qreland) Herald publishes the
official dispatch sent to the American
Minister in London by Secretary STANTON,
announcing the death of the President.
After announcing the circumstances of the
assassination, the dispatch says:
The murderer of the President has been dis
covered and evidence obtained that these hor.
ribe crimes were committed in execution of q
conspiracy deliberately planned and Get on foot
by rebels, ON preteNce Of avenging the South
and aiding the rebel cause, but it is expected
that the immediate perpetrators will be caught.
The feeling OccasiOned by these atrociOus
crimes Is so great, sudden and overwhelming,
that cannot at present do more than COM
municate them to you. At the earliest mo-
ment yesterday the President called cabinet
meeting, at which General Grant was present.
He was more cheerful and happy than had
evOr seen him. He rejoiced at the near pros
pect OF firm and durable peace at home and
abroad, which manifested in q marked degree
the soundness and honesty of his disposition,
and the tender and forgiving spirit that so emf.
been given that he and Gen. Grant would be
present at the theatre, and the opportunity of
adding the Lieutenant General to the number
OF victims to be murdered, was no doubt siezed
as the fitting occasion of executing the plans
which appear to have been in preparation some
weeks; but Gen. Grant was compelled to be
absent, and thus escaped the designs upon him.
1t is needless for me to say ANYTHING in re.
gard to the influences which this atrocious
murder of the President may exercise mon
the affairs of this country. But only add that.
though terrible and atroeious as are the plans
that have been resolved on by the enemies of
the country, they are not likely in any degree
70 impair tne public spirit or postpone the COM
plete and final overthrow of the rebellion.
In profound grief of the events which it
mas become my duty to communicate to you,
l nave the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
EDWIN NJ. STANTON.

SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY.-TheL Louisville
Journal, in an elaborate editorial, entitled "An
open Letter to the People of Kentucky, closes
as follows: "The time has come for at once
cutting up the roots of the upas tree which for
more than half century has poisoned our
prosperity. and retarded the growth of that
pnblic spirit which our full development re-
quires. Let the people, therefore, cast aside
the fossilized politicians who would impede
their progress in the broad path of destiny
which opens before them, and, to this end, let
them, 10 August elect no man to the general
assembly ofthe State who will not pledge him.
self to the immediate and unconditional ratif-
cation of the constitutional amendment"

OUR MILITARY Power ACKNOWLEDGED.

Our MILITARY POWER ACKNOWLEDGED.
The New York World says: The comments
of the London press upon the assassination of
Mr.. Lincoln will attract marked attention. It
seems to have created as profound an emotion
abroad as it did among ourselves, while the
late Presidents good qualities are as heartily
recognized. The London Herald, the organ of
the high Tory party makes a curious admis-
sion in the course of its remarks, to the effect
that the United States is now the greatest mill
tary and naval power known to history It
openly confesses that we have no match as a
great military power among the nations of the
earth.
