BooTH's BoDY.-There has been a good
deal of speculation ms to the disposition
that was made Of the assassin's body
The Washington Republican in the fol-
lowing paragraph settles this matter def
nitely. That paper says that none of the
statements published detailing the man
ner in which the body was disposed of,
are true. That Colonel Baker and his
brother, Lieut.. Baker, are the only two
persons living who know what DISPOSE
ton was made of it, and they are under
oath to reveal the fact to no human be-
ing. Any statement protesting to detail
how, or where, the remains were deposit
ed, is not only guess work, but a serious
reflection upon the faithfulness of Col.
Baker and his brother.

It is a creditable fact that throughout
our vast country, Notwithstanding the
lengths to which party feeling will carry
men, there were very few found so base
and degraded as to publicly exult in the
assassination of President Lincoln, and
in most places where such expressions
were INDUCED in the parties were prompt
ly dealt with in a manner which forcibly
indicated the light in which they were
viewed. We lave heard of but two in
stances in which there was a regular pub
lie jolliication over the event, one of
which was in a small village in Southern
Indiana, the other, we regret to say, in
Jackson township in the neighboring
county of Union. The M|arysville Tri-
bune having called for the names of the
parties engaged in the exeerable proceed
ing, Mr.. j. M. SNEED, Of Redwood, fur
nishes the following list, as the leaders in
the affair, their followers being composed
of women and children:
Harvey Price, Mandison Sanders, Hen
ry Blue, Levi Price. Ephriam Eastman.
Samuel Sanders, John Wilson, Joseph
Brooks, Grin Carter, Jefferson Woody,
Robert Aston.
In publishing the names the Editor of
the Tribune gives expression to his feel
ings as follows:
''The INT of these scoundrels having
now been made public, the public author
tiles should at once arrest them and try
them for treason, and if found guilty
hang them at once. A greater outrage
was never perpetrated against order, de
cency and respect in Union county. We
cannot find language strong enough to ex-
press our adherence of such a diabolical
outrage. The perpetrators should hence
forth be treated by all decent people with
law, and look upon them with the same
dread they would look upon a ravenous
beast or a venomous reptile"

PRESIDENT JnHMsoN'S OPINION OF THE USE OF
ARDENT SPIRITS.

The New York Observer says We
have great pleasure in laying before our
readers the following letter from e. G.
Delavan, Esq, which gives to the Ameri-
can people the opinion of several Presi-
dents on the use ardent spirits. It pre-
sents the name Of the lamented Lincoln,
and his successor, Andrew johnson

MEssRs EDITORS: In 1888 I visited
Ex-President Madison, who signed the
declaration below. On my return from
Virginia [ called on President jackson
and Ex-President Adams. They added
their signature. The declaration is on
parchment. Every succeeding President
has added his name, except President
Harrison. He died before l had time to
forward it; but that he would have sign
ed it I lave no doubt. had he lived, as 1
was given to understand after his death,
that he had abandoned his interest in a
distillery, from principle.

turned this document to me with his au-

PRESIDENTIAL DECLARATION.
n

Being satisfied from observation and
experience, as well as from medical tes-
timony, that ardent spirits, as a drink, is
not only needless, but hurtful, and that
the entire disuse of it would promote
the health, the virtue and the happiness
of the community, we hereby express
our conviction that should the citizens
of the United States, and especially the
young men, discontinue entirely the use
of it, they would not only promote their
own personal benefit but the good of our
country and the world.
