To Major General Dir:
This evening, at Ford's Theater, the

with Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Harris and Major

The assassin then leaped upon the stage,

The pistol ball entered the back of the

The President has been insensible ever

Adjournment of the General Assembly

IAdtOurnmentOf of the General Assembly.
The Ohio General Assembly adjourned
sine die on Thursday evening. During its
second session it has been rather a lazy
and slowly moving body, sdjOurning very
frequently and, even when not adjourned,
often having difficulty in collecting quo
rum. Several important acts of legislation
have been transacted during the session,
among which has been the passage of the
telegraph bill, the ratification of the con
stitutional amendment, and the repeal
of the visible admixture law. The legisla
gture failed TO act upon the Governors
Recommendation in regard to state print
ling, and the lower house neglected to pass
the importsnt railroad bill adopted BY the
Senate.
The representatives Of Ouyshoga county
in both branches of the legislature have
done honor to their constituents and them
selves. They have besn able, faithful
and vigilant representatives, and theii
recognized influence among their fellow
members teatiaes to their position anC
worth.

The Assassination of president lin.

How shall We write the terrible words
that we must record tonight How shall
we blot the bright happiness of yesterdays s
thanksgiving with this black stain of grief
and crime The brain reels, the heart
sickens, the whole frame shudders st the
very thought of our great afiicsiOn. The
rebellion, in its last dying agonies, true to
the spirit which characterized its life, has
struck down our great, our good, our noble
President, and, in the very hour of the na-
tons grandest triumph, he has fallen 3
victim to the dagger of base
assassin. Even as we write
the words, the horror and ener-
nifty of the crime seems too great for com
prehension or belief, and were it not for
the indubitable evidence before US Of the
fact, we should Ehudderingly deny that hu-
mApity could be 50 base.
We cannot dwell upon the terrible loss
which the Nation has sustained. We can
not describe the personal grief which SUI
persdds its crushing weight upon each
mans heart to-day. We cannot spare
space even TO anuds to the barbarian
and maEgnily which prompted this
deed and which it evinces. One feel
ing oVer-masters thought, reasoning
even grief-the desire for justice
and q righteous vengeance upon the
traitors who struck this blow. Fused
into one fiery mass of burning and holy
wrath, the whole North will rise up, if
need be, to svenge the death of our pat
riotic, selfsscrifcing, devoted and now
msrtyred President. Over his murdered
corse every lover of the Union will swear
eternal vengeance upon treason and
traitors.
