Buying GoldMakes oneaReber

There i instruction and example in
she following incident narrated 10 US by
a Penusy lvania friend
An honest Scbuylkiii County German
merchant, who had been prospered and
mad accumulated more money than he
could employ as capital in his business,
came to a patriotic banker IN Philadel-
phia and said
Il have got some moneys, and | want
you to buy me some gold"
"Why, Schultz, what DO you want
gold for? That isn't thing you sell
in your store"
Il knows dat-but I want to make
some money on de rise Of gold. BeopIes
say it Is going up, and l tink | may make
a tou<and dollars"
"SchuItz, you dear old fellow, don't
you know that if you buy gold you will
be a Rebel 2"
"No! !! said Schultz, with tone of re.
sentiment in his wonder
Suppose you buy $4,000 Of gold.
Suppose that some morning you read in
the papers in big letters: Terrible dis
aster to the Union cause Grants army
routed and Destroyed! ! The Rebels
marching on Washington ="
II should say dat was tam pad news"
excitedly interrupted the German.
Yes, but wouldn't you say right off,
dis, however, will put gold up-pad for
the Union cause, tam pad, but it is goct
for my ten thousand p Don't you see,
Schultz, that in buying gold you Instantly
make the interests Of the Rebels your
interests-that you bribe yourself to wish
them to succeed, and to wish your coun.
try and your countrymen to fail? And
if these unholy desires, Schultz. don't
define a Rebel, there is no language to
define one. Don't you sec that buying
gold inevitably turns hot est, patriotic,
devoted men like you, away from the
cause which they think they ought to
support. aud which they think they do
support, but which they cannot support,
because they have made it for their in,
terest not to support it? Don't you see
it, dear old fellow ?"
"By tam do,'' said the honest man,
with gravity of manner and humility !;
"and l AK pardon of the war Put de
whole of dat in Seven Thrties. Ny
money goes nit my principles"

When the Richmond papers announc
ed, few days before the 4rh of March
that an event was about TO transpire
which would send thrill Of JOY through.
out the South, and startle the world, il
probably had reference to the tragedy
which has since startled the whole coun.
try by its enormiiy. 1t is known that
Booth intended 10 assassinate the Presl.
dent on that day, but the want of co op
Grafton in those who were to assist hin
defeated the plan. The world has beer
startled, but the thrill of JOY which wa,

feeling of fear FOX the consequences o

From gentleman of intelligence, who

attempted to resist the mob, but were
quickly forced to desist and seek their
own safety in fight The individuals Of
the mob scattered throughout every part
Of the building, each one pIundering ac.

the buildings II appears there was large
quantity of ammunition aad gun powder

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,

Harrisburg, Pa, April %, 1865.
Sir; | have just returned from rever-
emily attending the remains of our mar.
tyred President, and their passage tbro
this commonwealth, and | avail myself of
the first moment to assure you that, as
Pennsylvania has throughout steadily
and effectively sustained the Government
in its efforts to crush the existing rebel
lion, so she and her authorities may be
relied on to stand heartily by your Ad-
mlnistration, and that with an earncstness
and vigcr enhanced by the just horror
which all her people entertain ofthe base
and cowardiy assassination to which your
predecessor has fallen victim
| know that it Is unnecessary to give
you this assurance; but looking to tbe
vast res possibilities that have been sud
deGly cast upon you, it has seemed to
me that an expressed word Of hearty en-
couragement from your friends cannot be
otherwise than agreeable to you. should
have visited Washington to say this much
TO you in person, but am unwilling just
at this moment to incur the danger of
interfering with the just discharge Of
your public duties by occupying your
time.
l am, sir, very respectfully, your obe-
dieDt servant, A. y. Curtin.
To the PRESIDENT.
In reply, President Johnson expressed
his fervent thanks to Governor CurtIo
for the hearty manner in which ne had
proffered his valuable support of the gen,
eral Administration. Some of his most
interesting rccolections were of the old
keystone State In the war for the
maintenance of the Government, she had
surpassed herself in her contributions to
our armies and in the valor and sacrifices
of her sons, many of whom he classed
among his best friends, having met them
in large numbers during his trials in Ten
nessse. President johnson trusted that
his administration Of the Government
would not be unworthy of the confidence
of the loyal people of Pennsylvania

Booths BOdy.

WASHINGTON, May, 2, l865.-The
vexed question as to the disposal made of
John Wilkes Booth is at length settled by
a statement which may be regarded as
final After the head and heart, which
have been deposited in the army medical
museum IN this city, had been removed,
the corpse was placed in charge of two
men, who. after various movements calcu
lated to battle impertinent curiosity, dug
a grave in little spot of ground close to
the peDitentiary, where for some years
feIons have been buried. Booths body
was deposited here, and the earth over it
was smoothed and carefully sodded over.
The other graves of less infamous felons
had previously been eveied, and a strong
guard is now in charge of the spot. and
will continue to keep it undisturbed until
the grass has grown so lhickly that no
one will ever be able to distinguish the
place where the assassin's corpse were
inferred from the other nameless graves
around it.

who utter words of hostility to the Gov
ernmeut, or approve of the course of its
enemies.
The spirit OF lawlassness which we
said is abroad seems to permeate almost
the whole of society, commencing in the
domestic circle, apd extending itself to
the highest positions. Children defy
parental authority; the youths that OF
their school teachers; the citizen sets at
naught the laws of the State, and the
States repudlate and attempt TO overthrow
the powers Of the Federal Government.
Without law and order no community
can exist, aud society will dissolve itself
into its original elements.
1t therefore behooVs all who are en-
trusted with the execution of the laws t.
enforce them with energy and vigor.
All, from the children at the freside TO
those who undertake to rule States and
nations, must be taught aud compelled to
obey those who the law has placed over
them, and bring themselves within the
mandates of the highest law of the land
