THE SHOOTING or BOOTH,

WASHINGTON, April 2I.
Yesterday morning 8 squadron of theI
10th New York cavalry traced Booth to al
barn between Bowling Green and Port
Royal, near fredericksburg, Va. The barn
was surrounded, and demand made forI
their surrender, which Harold, who was
with Booth, was in favor of doing, but upon
Booth calling him coward, he refused to-
do 80.
The barn was then set on fire, and upon
its getting too hot Harold again presented
himself and put his hands through the
door to be handcuffed. While this was
going on Booth fred upon the soldiers,
upon which q sergeant fred at him. The
ball took effect in the head killing him.
Harold was taken alive. He and the
/ body of Booth we're brought to the Wash
Sington Navy Yard last night.
Booth was discovered in the barn by the
3Cayalry. He declared his intention never
to surrender, and said he would fight the
whole squad, consisting of twenty eight
linen, if they would permit him to plsce
himself twenty yards distant. The scout
ling party was under command Of Lieuten-
ant Edward Dougherty.
Booth was on a crutch, and was lame

stOneman ParaIyzed.

The more we hear from Stoneman, the
more evident does it become that his sue
cesses, each day more glorious and telling
more vitality upon the rebellion, were most
disastrouslY terminated by Shermsn's sr-
mistice with tie willy Breckinridge. 1t
seems thst his squadrons were galloping in
every direction over Western North Caro-
lima, nowhere resisted by any adequate
force, everywhere winning victory and
dealing desth-blows TO the Confedsracy.
There Is no knowing what he might not
have done had not the astounding faulty
of his commanding General psralyzed his
efforts. The worst of it all is that while
Grant will soon put life and vigor into
Sherman's army, StOnemAn will lie idle
until he hears, perhaps through the enemy
and perhaps i'll some other way, of the ter.
mination of the armistice. Precious days
and priceless opportunities are thus wasted
Meantime Davis is fleeing to Mexico.

DAILY LEADER.


Booth Killed.
The heart of the people experienced yes
terdsy a relief from its unnatural tension
on the announcement that the murderer ol
the President had met his fate. Rat-ibu-
tive justice, in his case, hes been speedy as
well as sure As we'll might he expect tc
escape the day Of judgmer as to fee from
the penalty of his crime. Sooner or later,
should God spare his miserable life, venge-
snce would inevitably overtske him. A
nation was on his track; mighty people
waited and watched for justice upon him
and though he should fee to the uttermost
parts of the earth, his crime and the veDge-
ance of the people for it was sure to find
him out. But the Nemesis which follows
crime has il this csse come with terrible
swiftness. Before the msrtyred President
is laid in his grave, his assassin has been
hunted down and killed. Thus speedily is
crime punished and justice done.
The particulars Of the pursuit of the
murderer and his desperate though unsuc-
cessful defense, are given this morning,
and will be read with the intensest interest
by all. They confirm the theory previous
1 ly adopted by the authorities, that the as
ssssin had b5en thrown from his horse and
had sprained his snkle. His defense was
desperate one, as that of q condemned and
icullswed villain, who we'll knew that his
doom was ignominious de'th, would natu-
rally be.
The murderer, when killed, was heading
directly for the heart of the Confederacy,
where, sheltered by Johnstons army and
under the fostering care and protection OF
Jefferson Davis, he might for brief time
enjoy the praise of the Confederate leaders
There is a general feeling of regret that
the murderer was shot down instead of
being taken alive, as it seems that he might
have been. The cause for this feeling is
found not only in the desire TO see proper
and legally decreed punishment n.eted out
to murderer and assassin, but in the gen
ersl impression that important develop +
ments as to the extent and nature of the
conspiracy might have been made IN
his trial. Harold, however, an sccomplice
of Booths, is in our hsnds, and will be
tried. If we Can infer anything from the
previous character of the two men, he is
much the most likely to make revelations
in reference to the instigators of this hor-
rible murder than was his principal.
Booth has been killed So far, justice z
has been done. But Booth, criminal as
he was and much as he deserved the fate s
he has met, is but mere tool in the hands
crafGier and more powerful men. Slavery.
treason, rebellion, lay at the root of this
most monstrous murder and they must
suffer the penalty. Justice is no more sat-
iefed by the death of Booth than it would =
be by the destruction of the pistol which he
used. The punishment of traitors and the
of treason throughout the
land can alone satisfy its stern demands,
