The remains Of President LINCOLN
reached their final resting place, al
Springfield, ILL.,, Wednesday morning,
having since they left the National Cap
ital been transported a distance of about
1900 miles in the same car in which they
we're deposited at Washington, and with
out accident OF detention Of any kind to
the train. 1t may be safely affirmed that
never did obsequies of deceased King,
Queen, Emperor or President. equal those
of our late revered Chief Magistrate
The o~bservances at the points at which
the body was removed from the car, were
grand and imposing beyond power of de-
scription; while at every city, tewn, vii
lage and hamlet passed on the entire
route, the people collected en- masse and
offered every possible token of respect
and the solemnity and earnestness of
these spontaneous testimonials of regard
for the memory of the illustrious deceas-
ed, were greatly enhanced from the fact
that they occurred at all hours Of the
night, the travelling between all the stop
ping points having been performed dur
ing the night, and generally between ten
o'clock and daylight.

ANDY JOHNSON ON MERoY.-In reply
to n of the delegation which called on
him after his Inauguration, President
johnson said:
When the question of exercising mer-
cy comes before me, it will be considered
calmly, judiciously-remembering that I
am the executive of the nation. [ know
that men love to have their names spo-
and how easily it is to yield to this i'm
pulse, but we must not forget that what
may be mercy to individuals is cruelty to
the State. In the exercise of mercy
there should be no doubt left that this
high prarogative is not used to relieve
the few at the expense of the many.

To judge from the zone of the Dem
o~cratic press, none are more grieved over
the death of President LINCOLN than
they. Their ~eulogies are of the highest
order; they acknowledge him a statesman
and a patriot; that he had gained the conf
denee of the people to an extent excell-
ed only by WASHINGTON. In order that
their grief may appear sincere would it
not be well for them to cease assailing
his official acts-those which caused him
to be regarded as a statesman, and a pat
riot and gain such a hold upon the conf
dence of the people. In one column they
extol the man for his greatness, in
another they assail the acts which made
him great.

Some nine years ago Mrs. Henry Spen-
Ger, of Bethlehem, Conn, lost her peck
et-bOok, eontaing between 5000 and 500
in notes and bills, while shopping in
Waterbury, and nothing was ever heard
of it until a few days ago, when she re-
ceived a letter from a Catholic priest in
Oil City, Pa, requesting her to describe
the lost property, which she did. She
was soon after r~ejoiced to have the same
returned, just as it was lost, excepting
that a portion of the bills had been chang
ed to greenbacks, of which she did not
complain.
ARREST OF CONGRESSMAN HARRIS
1t appears that Benz. G. Harris, mem

rested for persuading paroled prisoners
from Lees army, to violate their parole,

A number of these prisoners testify to
his giving them money for this purpose,
and unless he breaks down this testimo-

penalty is death.
