1T is confidently asserted in pri-
yate letters from Washington, that it
will be fully proven that President
johnson was drugged on the 4th of
March, and that it was intended to muir
der Mr. Lincoln on that day. IF this
be so, how much compassion Mr.. John
son deserved for the occurrence Of that
day, instead Of the terrible censure

A REBEL SALARIED-The person who
for two wears was Purser Of the rebel pirate
Alabama, has been appointed to first class
clerkship in the Land Office. This posi-
ton with its good salary has been given
him thai the Government may have his
testimony, available as to the captures and
distinctions committed by that corsair.
To which the New York Sun forcibly
replies, putting rebel and pirate in the
position of ''frst class clerk" in a govern
ment department at q good salary" may
be very effective way Of securing his tes-
t;mony as a witness, but those who suffer
ed by the piracies committed by the vessel
of which this individual was an officer, will
fail to appreciate the policy. In crimes
Of less degree the civi. courts make testi-
mony available by locking up the witness
until the time Of trial, if his evidence is
particularly importan-, and there is no
certainty Of securing him when wanted.
We cannot see why rebel and traitor
should be so tenderly treated as appears
from the above dispatch; particularly why
he should be made the recipient of a fat
Office under the Government, and placed
in position of responsibility. It would
be far more consistent with propriety and
Justice to put the said purser IN the Old
Capital Prison until his testimony is want
ed, and give the good salary" to one Of
our returned soldiers, who has lost an arm
or leg while fighting the brother traitors
