RetrIbuiIVe Jnrtioa.

One OF the most gratifying and auspi-
cions signs ofthe times is, that, sooner
or later, justice will be meeted ont to those
who have been instrumental in causing
the arrest and imprisonment Of innocent
persons under the miserable pretext Of
military necessity" We are rejoiced
to sec that men who have been the VIC
Tins of tho wicked and despotic policy Of
the present administration are now seek
ing for redress in the right quartor--the
civil tribunal.
Wo notice a recent case. A suit
brought by Mr.. Leonard Sturtovant
against A. II. Allen for illegal arrest and
imprisonment, which has been on trial in
Boston for somo days in tho Supreme
Court, was closed on Friday last, tho jury
rendering a verdict in favor Of Mr.. Stur-
tevRnt for S32, 500. At the breaking out
OF the war Mr. Sturtevant was doing busl-
ness in New Orleans, and upon his COM
ing North was arrested and lodged in jail
upon charges of disloyalty preferred
against by Mr.. Allen.
Boston is good place to begin; and
wo think il justice can be obtained there,
people in other sections Of tho country,
who have been subjected to similar out
RACES with Mr.. Sturtevant, need not des-
pair. At all events--as there arc strong
symptoms of returning reason in the pop
ular mind-the present is q fitting time
for men who have been made to suffer the
wrongs aud indignities of arbitrary arrests,
imprisonment and banishmont, and all
sorts of outrage and persecution, TO bring
their cases before tho proper tribunals.
Justice is sometimes slo'O. but always

Bennett and the French Mis-

The announcement that an offer of th,
French mission was made by the lato Presi
dent Lincoln 10 Mr.. JRmes Gordon Bennett
of tho Herald, turns out TO bo true. Ben
nett acknowledges tho corn, and says he de.
clined ii "bscause he could serve the coun.
try better at home. l." He puts an end to all
speculation upon the subject in characteris.
tic article on Monday, from which we
make the following ex tract;
At the proper time the public will bs fur
nished with all the particulars of the offer
and of the declinAtion, with the full cores.
pondence upon both sides. II is true, as has
already been suggested by the tenor Of this
article, that the offer Of tho French mission
was made by President Lincoln to Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett, the editor of this journal |;
and II is also true Ms stated by Greeley, that
the offer was respectfully declined by Mr.. BEN
nett, Oh the ground that at this great crisis
he could serve the country better here than
in Paris. This mach Mr.. Bennett Is willing
to have stated in order TO crafty and satisfy
those who have devoted so mnch time and
attention TO the thorough calculation Of the
subject, But for the particulars and the cor.
respondenoe the journals and gossps will be
obliged to wait little longer.

Death OF BOOth-IHOy his BODY
was Disposed Of.

From the New York Worlds graphic re-
port Of the capture and death OF Booth, the
infamous assassin Of the President, we make
the following extract
After describing how doctor was sent for,
aud his arrival at the scene Of the tragedy, the
writer says: just at his coming, Booth had
asked to have his hands raised and shown
him They wero 30 paralyzed that he did not
know their location. When they were dis.
played, he muttered, with sad lethargy,
"Useless, useless" These were the last words
he ever uttered. As no began TO die, the sun
rose and threw beams into all the iree.tops II
was Of mans hight whom the struggle of
death twitched and fingered in tho fading
bravado'a face His jaw drew spasmOdcally
and obliquely downward, his eyebals rolled
toward his feet, and began to swell; lividness,
like horrible shadow, fastened upon him,
and with n sort Of gurgle and sudden chock,
he stretched bis feet and thrsw his head back,
and gave up tho ghost
Thursday the Secretary Of War, whithonL
instructions Of any kind, committed to Col.
onel Lafayette g. Baker, of tho secret service,
the stark corpse OF j. Wilkes Booth. The
secret service never fulfilled its voltion more
secretvely "What have you done with the
body2" said 10 Baker THAT Ia known" he
answered ITO only one man living besides
myself II is gone | will not tell you
where. The only man who knows ia sworn to
silence, Never till the great trumpeter comes
shall the grave of Booth be discovered And
this is true Last night, the 9th Of April, a
small row boat received the carcass OF the
murderer, and only two men were in it they
carried the body off into tho darkness. 1t will
never return. The river bottom may ooze
about il laden with great shot and drowning
manacles. The earth may have opened to
give it that silence and forgiveness which
man will never give its memory. The fishes
may swim around Il, or tho daisies grow white
above Il; but wa shall never know.

A Petroleum Millionaire.

The following is an extract from an aticle
Ia tho Syracuse Journal. The Widow Nc.
Cintock, was a very large owner Of oil terrific
ry in Oil City. She died last week:
The most OF her property Widow MeClin-
took willed to her adopted son. John Steele,
or johnny" Steele, as he ia usually called, n
young man now twenty-one years of age, of
good natural abilities, but unedneated as to
how TO apply them. He had been teamster
Of oil over the hills and through the gullies OF
Oildom when this 'streak OF luck" came npon
him, and made him much worse off in fact
He Immediately dropped the lines and put on
good clothea-All right 80 fAr--and has since
led very dissolute life all over the country
For some time, II is said, he went around
with band Of minstrels. Walking up Brod-
way, one day, ho saw pair Of Ems horses
aud carriage He stopped the driver, and
inquired how much he asked for the whole
rig, The driver said $4,000, whereupon
Johnny hauled out the amount, and hand.
ing Il to the driver, jumped in for ride.
Having had ride enough, and taking
fancy to the driver, he made him present of
his recent purchase. At another time he is
said 10 have purchased the Continental Ho.
tel, Ia Philadelphia, In an extrAyagant freak
He gambled with John Morrissey, and paid
100000 il Ia said. for the amusement, Mr..
M exparienca being too extensive for him
He has had numerous narrow escapes fro IN
losing his too easily COTTON wealth, by New
York and Philsdelphia sharpera Where he
ia lust now no one ssems TO know. Some say
he is dead, but be will probably turn up some
day--perhaps again as teamster
