The San Francisco Call is informed by

Department of Sinaloa had met with an
unexpected drawback to the profits they
expected to realize from their crop

Inf collecting taxes thereon from the pro
Iprietors. If objection is made by the
owners to the novel procedure Of taxing
that which has as yet but prospective
value. they arc very coolly informed that
the tax assessed must be paid. or orders
lwill be given to have the growing crops
destroyed. The alternative is thus offer
ed to pay the Imperial impoSt and taking
the chance Of the crop turning out sutii-
aciently well to reimburse the amount. or
TO refuse. and suffer total loss. This
arbitrary proceeding has put the planters

The exemption Of United States Bonds

one that affects all section Of the country

INTENSE ExclrENENr-The sad intelligence
Of the tragical death of President Lincoln was
telegraphed to this city from San Francisco
in the forenoon of last Saturday, and 1t created,
Us was natural, intense excitement. The news
was of such u dreadful nature, so unlocked for
and so foreign to the American character, that
it alarmed the peeple-the whole people-and
excited their indignation and horror. A few
hours later another dispatch was received con
tanning the thrilling intelligence that 8, cretary
Seward, his son, and a servant of Mr. Seward
had been assassinated the same night. This
increased the excitement, ifposslble, and fears
were entertained that it would eliminate in
violence, perhaps in blondshed. Prompt meas
ures were at once taken by our county, city
and military officers to prevent anything SC
disgraceful to our city, and in this they were
encouraged and assisted by respectable and in
duential members of the Republican party, who
were determined to preserve order. The Off
GERS were active and vigilant, and their conduct
received the appreciation Of every good citizen
Marshal EnSminger, about dusk, requested the
salOnnkeepers TO close their saloons, with
which request they readily complied. No at
tempt was made to modest any one, the excite
ment subsidized, people returned to their home,
and order reigned. To the vigilance of the of
fcers and the fixed determination of prominent
Republicans to prevent disorder, do we as
cribe the absence Of violent proceedings las
Saturday night. 1t is always in the power Of
u few mischevous and evil-dispOsed persons t.
engender ill-feeling and cause trouble. but they
are careful not 10 do it when punishment il
sure to follow. Only such persons wanted q
disturbance.

National Calamity.

The nation mourns. The chief 10 whom
1t placed .unbounded confidence, is no
more. Abraham Lincoln, Chief Magis-
trate Of the United States, in the maturi.
" of his manhood, the ripeness Of his in
select and the fullness of his fame, was
assassinated in Washington City on Fri
day night Of last week. The announce.
nent Of his death-so unexpected, SO
'frightful, so brutal-was received in this
city by every one with mingled feelings Of
aunaEeeas}eo..Sh. k,~65e~d regret, bitter
shame and burning indignation. Iii.
tragical death must be regarded by oil
true patriots, without distinction Of party,
As an "event disgraceful to q Christian
county and 9 Christian age, revolving te
every sentiment Of humanity and distress
ing to every friend of civil liberty" Tits
a blot on free instituiions-a stain on the
American character, and every American
must so regard it,depIOre it and denounce
lit. lis our firm conviction that his
death will be as sincerely mourned and
deeply regretted by the South as by the
North, for in him the South has lost not
only her best but her most powerful
friend in the North. In this hour of the
nations calamity the Southern heart beats
responsive to the Northern. 1t is com.
mon calamity, and the deep darkness that
broods over the country is felt by ALL
The atrocity OF the crime is unrelicved by
Ia single cxtenuating circumstance. 1t is
y monstrous crime--"nQne but itself can
be its parallel" His death has consecrat-
cd his name. 1t is not for US to write his
Seulogy leave that to other and ADLER
hands. We disapproved Of his political
sentiments but we cherished no enmity
to the President. To use the language Of
the Marysville Express: "Our prayers
to God are that the guilty may be punish
ed, and that none who were in any way
implicated in this dastardly transaction
may escape"

{ than virtue. lie was born and raised in.

lance and scandal Of the family. AfterI
/ the death Of the elder Booth, in 1852 ]
HWilkeS was partially recognized by the
Alamily, yet he was always regarded as a
Fdark blot upon the household. However.
Ainherting much Of the professional ability
Eof his father, and eyincing determine,
ation to triumph over the stigma Of his
sbirth, he was finally received into the full
Fellowship Of his brothers, and for num-!
Der Of years has enjoyed their confidence
land affection. Yet he could not forget
( the circumstances OF his birth--and if he
could, the world would not permit him
! to do so--and the recollection made him
RECKLESS. lie felt himself the equal Of his
brothers, yet he was born in intamy, and
the world was tardy in recognizing his
