idea of Foreign Intervention. That Eng
land and France may become involysd in
this war before 1t Ia over, lie possible; bns
there are 40 indieations of such an event
at present. The new feature Of this sen.
sasional rumor is, that portion only Of
the States having participated ia the late
Presidential election, the fact Of seperats
organization is practically proved.
We wonder that anybody can suppose
tbs Intervention Of European Powers de-
pends on any question Of right, juasice,

except their own interests. Quixotism

More Particulars Of the Horrible
Tragedy.

Z BATON ROUGE, April 10, II P.M.-By the arri-
syal Of the steamer Lady Gay we CLEAN the
following additional particulars of the event
| (which has shroudcd the nationin gloom and
Esorr0W:
/ WASHINGTON, April I5.--An inquest was
sheld this evening on the body of President
ELincoln by Surgeon Gen. Bardes and Dr..
sStone, assisted by other medical men.
The coffin is Of mahogany, covered with
kblack cloth and lined with lead the latter
Ebeing covered with white satin. A silver
Hplate is on the coffin over the breast, bear
ling the following inscription,
Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President Of
/ the United States, born July II, 1909, died
April Is, 1865. The remains have been en-
Ebalmed. few locks Of hair were removed
|from the Presidents head for the family,
previous to his remains being placed In the
scoffin. The same special states that Secre
Etary Seward has given detailed descriptions
lof the assassin. 1t is evident that he was q
different person from the Presidents mur-
|derer. Frederick Seward is in q more criti-
cal condition, and surgeons are removing
sthe broken fragments of his skull. A
private dispatch to b1r. Stewards nephew in
this city, from a member of the family,
Says have just left Mr.. Stewards house.
His wounds are not mortal He lost much
blood, but no arteries cut. Frederlck's
/ skull is fractured badly in two places above
the temple. He is insensible, and 1t is
feared he will die. Secretary Seward has
been informed Of hr. Lincoln's death.
NEW YORK, April 15.-The Commercial
states we have ascertained from source
perfectly reliable, that during conversa-
|tion Yesterday among members Of Spanish
Ifrn in this city, it was stated that on to-day
the greatest news would be received that
had yet been made known to the Republic.
{The fact of the statement was communi
Gated to Gen. Peck by the clerk of the estab-
alishment.
A special to the Tribune says that J. Wilkes
Booth was arrested about 3 O'Clock this
morning near Fort Hastings, on the Bla-
sdengburq road He boldly approached our
ADickets. and was arrested and brought to the
scity.
This is not confirmed by any official dis
apatchss from Washington up to 3 o'clock
sthis Saturday evening. Another private
Edispatch states that Frederick Seward Is out
I Of danger.
4 Several street meetings lave been held to-
xday and addressed by prominent gentlemen.
SThe unanimous expression seems to be to
hold the rebel leaders to just account for
atheir crimes.
Two men, expressing respect for JEFF
