because their reporters could not be admit

the national capitol, for the purpose of in

terrible conspiracy. We may be all wrong
in our views of this matter, but we do re-
gard it as senseless bosh. We ara as ieal-
GUS as any one can be of any usurpation of
the rights of the citizen, and are close
sticklers for the observance of every eonsti-

however, to puff and laud extravsgantly, as
many do, that which is called ''trial by iu-

from its real worth. We accent it and sup

..DIED In TIE FTELD.n

1t Is our painful duty, this week, to re-
cord the death of another of LYON oountv's
brave soldiers. Lieut. J. c. Haskell, late
of Emporia. died aboard the steamer Lin
ME Drown, ;, between Pine Bluff and Little
Rock on the 4th inst, of pneumonia, after
an illness OF only three days, aged "a years.
The sad news of the death of Mr.. Has
kell carried gloom to many heart in this
neighborhOod, where he had scores of warm
friends. He had heart in which each
fond affection dwelt, and his generosity and
true manliDess, has endeared him to large
circle of friends and acquaintancss, who
mourn his loss.
He come to Kansas from Massachueettg-
in July, 1858, and resided in Emporia I'M
Ill he entered the army. For year or two
he was connected with A. G. Proctor, ESQ.,.
In the mercantile business, and for some.
time was DEPUTY u S. Marshal. He join
the Fourteenth Kansas Volunteers in the
fall of 1868, in the capacity of Regimental
Commissary, with the rank Of Lieutenant.
He served in this capacity until the time of
his death.
In his death the community has lost an
active, energetic and enterprising citizen.
His beautiful. place adjoining town tsstifes
to this, and to his love of the beautiful and
useful. He loved his home and his friends,
and dreamed only of the happy hours he
would spend in the enjoyment of both, at
the expiration of his term of service.
He was followed TO the grave by large
number of his friends in the camp, and on
his breast was placed wreath of flowers,
and the words, ''He died in the field
weep not for him who dieth-
For he sleeps and is at rest"

The New York correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal writes:
Corbett, who shot Booth, is well known
in this city. He was a constant attendant
at the Fulton Street Meeting, and greatly
annoyed it by what was considered his IA
naticism. He took part frequently, and in
his prayers was in the habit Of adding "er''
to all his words, as ooh, Lord-er, bearer
our prayer. When anything pleased him
he would shout Amen" "Glory to God"
in sharp, shrill voice, to the great horror
of the Dutchman who controls fhe meeting.
All remonstrance was In vain, and be shout
ed to the very last. He enlisted 10 the
18th regiment, and made conscience his
guide there. He was perpetually in hot
water because he would follow the order of
his conscience rather than the military or
der. He prayed in the corner of his tent
regularly night and morning, nor could the,
taUnts or jeers of his associates turn him.

something he did not ike. Corbett stepped
out of the ranks and reproved the Colonel

that the time for which be enlisted expired
at twelve O'Clock at night on certain day.
He gave notice that be should 60 home when

TRe alleged culprits are as much puclic enc
mics as If they had consUmmated the diabol-
zeal deed, while the President was LEADING
his army in Virginia, and the assassins had
been attired IN rebel gray. The object and
purpose was to assassinate, not Abraham,
Lincoln. but the President of the TJnited
States-the CommandeF-in-C Chief of the
army aud nayy-the place where the act was
done is quite immaterial. Follouino their
doctrine to its logical conclusion, the result
would be this: Ii the President had been
slain IN Richmond, the trial must necessa-
rily take place there, before jury to be Sc
lected from among citizens residing within
the jurisdiction of the Richmond local
courts. This would be executing Justice
with a vengeance.
The proposition and claim are simply alb
surd. THOSE New York correspondents
howl, because they cannot excite the public
mind by sensation letters, or bold specula-
tons. During the whole war they have
kept the nation in needless excitement or
expectation by tales of imaginary disasters,
or anticipated TT iumphs, that had no exis-
tence except in the fertile imagination of tbs
writer
Justice is often defeated by publicity
given to facts prematurely. The trial now
in progress is roofing up conspiracy, the
extent of which we are yet unable to find ;
and if it be necessary in order to accom-
Plish this object, that the investigation be

must have confidence in our rulers, and
then we must clothe them with some dis
erection. 1t is necessary in every position
in which public officers can be placed. If
we find they, are doing. or permitting in
justice, then it Is time to complain. Let
our people, then, feel assured that those
who have the responsibilities of developing

traitors, are act Nc las we believe they are J
