says:
The power of arrests will hereafter be
spariDgly exercised, and directed against

pursuing foolish people for foolish word
There is no longer in this department, hos

MOB JUSTICE The unreasonable
character of a mob, and the injustice it is
likely to commit, are exempli6ed in case
which occurred last week in the oil region.
Mr.. Stevens, a Jerseyman, said to resem-
BILE in some slight degree the photograph
of Booth, the assassin, was taken into Gus.
tody by two detectives. When be got to
Titusville, he found the news of his arrest
had preceded him, and crowd, clamor.
GUS for hanging him on the spot, followed
him to the hotel. An Investigation there
showed who he was, and though the two
stupid detectives who arrested him told
the mob that he was not Booth, they still
insisted that he ought to be hung When
the detectives SAID he belonged to the
State of New Jersey and the Camden and
Amboy Railroad Company, some chap in
the crowd said-"Well, d-n him, he
ought to be shot anyhow" Any inno-
cent mans life may be put in danger
from such ignorance and brutality as this.
1t is time that every one who undertakes
to set the law at defiance and to usurp its
authority were punished A Boston jury
has begun the work by giving citizen
$32, 900 damages against an individual
who tried to set the mob spirit at work
against him by false accusation.-Phiz.

The Body of Booth, the Assassin.

The disposition made of the body Of the
assassin Booth, is a subject which just
now excites much interest. The various
New York papers have each a theory of
their own, provided for them by their re-
spective Washington correspondents
The Times declares that after the au-
tepsy by the Surgeon General, "the body
was dissccted, and in. separate pieces, sew
cd in cloth, with heavy weights, and
placed in small vessel, which made a
short, circuitous trip upon the Potomac,
aud without landing, returned to the ma
Wy yard minus the body, again.
The World is even more melo dramt tic,
the writer thus discoursiug:
yesterday the Secretary Of War,
without instructions of any kind, commit
ted to Col. Lafayette G, Baker, Of the Sc
cret service, the stark corpse of j. Wilkes
Booth. The secret service never fulfilled
it's volition moro secretively. "What have
you done with the body ?" said l to Ba-
ker. "That is known" he answered, "to
only one nan living besides myself 1t
is gone. | will not tell you where The
ouly man who knows is sworn to silence
Never till the great trump1ter comes shall
the grave of Booth be discovered" And
tbs Is true. Last night, the 9th of
April, small row boat received the car
cass of the murderer; two men were in it;
they carried the b"dy off into the dark.
ness, and out of that darkness it will new
er relurn. In the darkness, like his great
crime, may it remain forever, irpal pable,
invisible, nondescri pit, condemned to that
worse than Elimination, humiliation. The
river-bottom may ooze about it, laden with
great shot aud drowning mananles. The
earth may have opened to give it that ST.
lence and forgiveness which man will
never give its memory. The fishes may
swim around it, or the daisies grow white
above it--but we shall never know" Il
The Nesos says in its special despatch,
that "the body has been disposed Of in
some manner unknown to the public
Current reports concerning it remind US
of the manner in which young Dablgren's
body was said to have been treated"
At meeting held in Dayton, Ohio, it
was resolved that the body be carried out
to mid ocean and there buried.
Other persons think the probability is
that they have been decently inferred by
the authorities in some obscure spot of
which the public will never be informed
Edwin Booth, it is said, at the instance
of his mother, visited Washington few
days ago to obtain the body of his broth
or, but was uns iccessful.
