Interesting From Washington,

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Surgeon
General reports that Secretary Seward still
continues to improve, and that f. w. Sew
ard had slight hemorage from the scalp
last night, but is slowly regaining strength.
Acting Assistant Surgeon John A. Hall,
of Lincoln general hospital, was to-day ejec-
ted in disgrace. An intercepted letter to a
person In Canada from him, referring in
scurlilous terms to the death of the late
President was the cause.
Gen. Lee, after his surrender, wrote to
General Johnston that further resistance
would be useless, and advising him to fol-
low suit, &c.
1t is said that large number of Union
soldiers are going to Mexico to enlist in the
Liberal cause, and several recruiting agents
are here quietly at work for that purpose
The army of the Potomac is coming to
this city by way Of Fredericksburg A large
number of this army is to be mustered out
of the service. Sherman army is to come
to Richmond and there be mustered out.
Seventy-six rebel flags, captured from the
rebel army in Northern Virginia, were for
mally presented to the War Department to-
day by General Gibbon.
Information has been received here that
Jake Thompson and his co-conspirators
have left Canada for Europe.
An attempt was made early this morning
by an incendiary to burn Ford theatre. =.
The fire was discovered in time to prevent
any serious damage.
A letter from New Orleans, received here
to-day by prominent member of Congress,
says The pro-slavery Union men Of that
city are gravitating toward the secessionists,
and that they viii act together hereafter
against theunconditional anti-slavery Union
party, unless some change is made in the
city government.
Forty nine rebel officers were sent from
here to-day to Sundusky, Ohio.
Mrs. Lincoln is still unable to leave her
room, in fact scarcely able to rise from her
bed. She looks pale and haggard, and fears
are entertained if she viii ever regain her
former health.
1t viii probably be several weeks before
President johnson takes up his quarters in
the White House. The building is to be
refurnished and repainted.

THE INGERsoLL AFFAIR.

The disreputuable proceedings in the Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth wards, yesterday,
were logical result of the failure of the
Federal authorities to bring aiders and abet-
tors of treason to justice. Almost, or quite
ever since the war began, the Ingersoll
brothers have deelaimed against the national
authorities and expressed their sympathy
with armed traitors upon every favorable
opportunity. One Of the brothers publicly
urged in the darkest days of the war that the
Federal Government must be put down, and
upon another occasion he suggested, at a
public meeting, that if any member of the
Democratic party should be arrested by or
der of the Secretary of War in the future,
the person of the President of the United
States should be seized and held as hos
tage until the original captive should be set
at liberty. The reasonable speech of Ed
ward Ingersoll, In New York, on the eve of
the assassination ofMr. Lincoln, is too re-
cent an occurrence to need more than refer
ence to 1t.
While every good citizen must deplore the
excesses of yesterday, there is nothing in
them to excite surprise. The fault lies with
the Federal authorities who have failed to
vindicate the majesty of the law, and the
event shows that such indulgence leads to
infractions of the public peace. We trust
that for the future all utterers of treason
may be promptly arrested aud made to an
swer for their crimes, and not be allowed to
go on maddening the passions of loyal men
end melting to riot and disorder. Philr,

WELL SAID AND TRUTHFUL. The New
York Times gives utterance to the following
concerning Gen. Grant:
The grim patience and almost sublime
self-forgetfulness which has kept him for so
many months on slow wearisome, compar-
atively unbrilliant task of holding Lee and
his army as in vice in Virginia, while his
subordinates made the brilliant marches and
won the easy victories, is something not
much admired by the crowd, but which his
tory viii never forget or cease to celebrate.
It is the union of these patient and self
contained qualities with the highest dash
and daring-it is the exhibition Of the most
remarkable energy and sagacity in seizing
the opportune moment for the execution Of
his purpose-it is the combination in his
intellect of an all comprehensive vision with
the most extraordinary power of co-ordina-
ton, which have already placed Gen. Grant
in foremost position among the great mill
tary leaders of all ages.

The evidence is complete to show that it
was neither the freak of mad man nor an
act Of individual hate, but scheme concoc-

lied upon by them in the hour of their most
desperate need, and one of the means of

Nh. LINooLN's SELF DEVOTION The
memories of the countless noble words and
deeds of the Martyr President, already be-
gin to flow in thick upon us. We read the
glowing words-alas that they are now
made prophetic with which he raised
the fag over Independence Hall, on Wash
ington 8 Birthday, four years ago. On that
memorable occasion, looking forward to the
official responsibilities and the personal per-
lis that were before him he uttered these re-
markable words:
Il have often inquired of myself what
great principle or idea it was that kept this
Confederacy so long together. 1t was
something in the Declaration of Independ-
cnce giving liberty not only to the people of
this country, but to the world for all future
time. 1t was that which gave promise that
in due time the weights should be lifted
from the shoulders of all men, and that all
should have an equal chance.
Now, my friends, can this coun-
try be saved upon that basis ? IF it can,
viii consider myself one of the happiest
men in the world if can help to save it
But if this country cannot be saved without
giving up that principle iods about to
sag aooltld rather be asSassiadtecl npOm this
spot than to surrender It.
