The Arrest Of }AlZerot, the Ac.
complete Of Booth. #.

The Washington Chronicle of April 22d,
gives the following account of the arrest of
Andreas Atzerot, Booths supposed accom-
plce in the murder ofthe President. He
must not be confounded with Surrat, the
assailant Of Secretary Seward: ."''o: o..
At 1925 last night the train brought Geo.
Andreas Atzerot and Ernst Hartmann Rich
ter, arrested about four O'clock yesterday
morning at Richter's farm, near Middlebnrg
postofice, Montgomery county, Maryland.
They were received at the depot by Colonel
T. Ingraham and Captain VIM. N Wer-
merskirch, and taken to a safe place. Rich
Ter stated that Atzerot, who was his cousin,
slept on the 18th inst at the Pennsylvania
House, formerly the Kimmel House, in G
street; that he left Washington on Satur.
day and went to Rockville by stage, there
hired buggy, drove to Gettysburg, and
then rode on farmers wagon to Kioppers.
vile, where he arrived late at night, and re-
NAMED till next morning; thence he walked
to Richter's farm. Atzerot is twenty.eight
years old, five feet five inches IN height, has
a swarthy complexion and dark hair, NOUS
tache and imperial. He seems to be shrewd,
and was very reserved in his answers =
Richter said that he had not seen him for
about three months until he came to his
farm on Sunday last. -' -''''. ."

President LimcOim's Fumeral In
Canada.

Canada.
1t is, we believe, the common belief Of all
the European residents in the United States,
that no country in Europe has ever witnessed
anything approaching the exhibition Of
ming throughout the United States on
the death Of President lincoln. The fu.
neral services in British America ave no less
remarkable. There Is probably no prece.
dent in the worlds history Of whole coun
try paying such tribute OF honor to the
memory Of the head Of q foreign nation
1nalmost every town of Canada the places
of business were closed on Wednesday from
70 to 2; the churches were thronged for the
cele bration Of the funeral rites, public build.
ings and private houses were largely draped
III mourning, and all voices united in the
manifestation Of grief at the loss sustained
by the United States and of horror at the
work of the assassin. Previously, the to wn
councils with a very creditable unanimity
had passed resolutions Of sympathy with
the family Of the murdered President, and
with the people Of the United States. We
have had; ir.tse cosrse ef.this war, to reg.
istef many cts Of unfriendlincss toward the
United States on the part Of considerable
portion Of IT." press and the people Of Brit
ish America. 1t is Ct a,ifying to acknowI
edge this expression of svmpathy, on the
part Of OUR Heighbors in ~fT great national
affection. " Y Tribune. ~ = "

The Legislature Of Kentucky meets in adj.
journed session in a week or two, when it is
confidently believed that it will recede from
its action Of last winter and ratify the amend
Inent. THIS. we understand. is the opinion
Of Gov Bramette and the leading citizens OF
Kentucky. The assassination Of President
Lincoln, by an agent of the slave power, has
wrought a remarkable revolution in that
State, and it is believed that all loyal men
stand ready to place their fee, upon the
neck Of that power which has iomented and
sustained the rebellion. IT m-
The loyal Legislatures of New Hampshire
Iowa, Oregon AMI California have vet to act
on the subject; but it cannot he doubted
that they will promptly ratlfy as SION as
they shall assemble. OF these. the New
Hampshire Legislature meets on the frs,
Wednesday IN June. that Of California on
the first Monday in December, that Of Ore

Our Proposition.

We hereby propose that the authorities o

the Confederate uniform be henceforth The
garb of all convicts sentenced to the State
Penitentiaries for ordinary crimes, and tina,
ne Uniform worn by Confederate officers be-
that for criminals Of higher grade, accord
ing 10 degree. Thus: a cut throat or muir.
derer should be a Lieutenant General in
crime; arson. a Major General; pickpockets,
thieves, confidence men, might be Briga.
diers, etc, etc. ".ss..s rata.s. .
AS. ,he rebellion was the greatest of crimes
so should the insignia in which it's actors
arrayed themselves be used in all times here.
after by which to designate the creates,
criminals. ras.r r1@l. I0r -ag71a. srs ss
Besides, it is lready crime to appear in
Confederate uniform. As matter OF econ.
omy. therefore. as il cannot be worn, why
not have it turned over to the different States,
70 be used as above indicated? s.T-.a
