Death of the Assassin Booth
Capture Of his Accomplish Harold

From official kilograms we learn
that on the morning of the Goth,
Booth and Harold were tracked
to a barn between Bowling Green
and Port Royal, near Fredericks-
burg, Va. Lieut.. Col. Baker and
his detectives, together with 26 of
the 10Th New York Cavalry, sur
rounded the barn, and demanded
their surrender, which Harold
Z was in favor Of doing, but upon
Booth calling him a coward, he
refused.
In order to take the conspirators
alive, the barn was fired, when
Harold signified his willingness
to be taken. The door was ther
opened sufficiently to allow him tc
put his arms through so that hi
might be handcufed. As an Office
was doing this, Booth fired upol
the party from the barn, upoi
which. the Sergeant of the 16tl
New York fred. the ball strikin!
Booth in the back of the neck
from the effects of which he die'
in about three hours. Before Ia
breathed his last, he was asked i
he had anything to say, when h
replied : "Tell my mother that
died for my country"
Booth was on crutches, his lame
ness being caused by the falling Q
his horse. Harold has been lodge
in. a secure place.
The above is a very brief accour
of the capture. Great credit is du
to the detectives and the cavalr
for their unremitting excrtions j
tracking the assassin and his a.
complete. sta.
Booth has escaped the full me-
sure Of his punishment on cart
but he has gone to appear before
Tribunal, from the judgment
which he cannot escape.

now to see the daylight as it breaks in
upon this hitherto dark transaction.
We see now why the four conspirators
did not await the return Of the other
three members Of the Board,-and why
they refused to hear counsel. 1t was
this: If they waited for Logic, John
son, and NeGurdy, these gentlemen
would have objected to Mr.. Pottcrtield
voting, because he was Interested, and
the motion coming from the Radical
side OF the house, would have failed to
carry, and the game to defeat all the
Conservative candidates who had been
elected by the people have failed with it.
If this does not open the eyes of our
the sun will. IN conjunction with this
let him take the action of Mr.. Pitzer.
and the gentleman "Who was born
German, and loves his dear German
friends. in Berkeley, the burning in
the public streets of the Kennedy ballots,
the arrest Of Edmund Pendleton and
others, the throwing out of two Con-
servative Townships in Morgan, and
that other most desperate and dastardly
act of .Abijah Dody, Rhineheart, and
Muntzing- the defeated Radicals in Har-
dy-in running off with the returns of
that county to Wheeling, and, when
they returned, the people were made
aware that the Votes Of five or six Town

as we learn, the .AHorley- General had

We hope that Mr.. Hall will do the
people of this Circuit the favor to pub
fish that opinion. Cannot the Berkeley
onion get him to do SO? 1t would be a
great feather i'll his cap, especially just
at this time, when the people are smart
ing under the wrong done them by that
other written opinion which disfran-
chised one thousand voters in this county.
That opinion was written by him, and
circulated all over this Circuit at the time
he was candidate for the Judgeship.

not now.

James II. Ferguson.

The Berkeley Union informs US i" that
James II. Ferguson, who was considered
the most radical member OF the last
Legislature, and who was the earnest
advocate Of the test cath and consti-
tutional amendment" but who since
that time has renowned his Radicalism
and was run as the Conservative candi-
date, has been defeated for the House of
Delegates in Cabell. We are sorry to
hear OF the defeat of Mr. Ferguson. He
is a man of acknowledged ability and
intellect, and ii might have been in his
power 10 have atoned IN the approach
ing Legislature Tor much of the evil
which he has inflicted upon this state.
But who will now undertake to say that
1t was alone his conversion TO conserVa-
tism which has defeated him? May 1t
not have been his former Radicaiisna
which weighed as Il heavy burden upon
him in the contest2 Men cannot 50 easily
cast off before The people the deep and
danlning sins Of their past life. We Go
not know Col. Whether, his successful
opponent, and who is said to have COM
manded Che Third West Virginia cav

guess, that il he was 4 brave ard meri-
torious officer in the army. he will not
concur With the Radicals in Their bitter,
malignant, and prosecuting policy.

4 DisgraceJul acknowledgment.

Mr.. Era, 1re usH you 1ci1ere you 1rOuld
hare been, etere yeer press could haze
been, and ,there your Conservative orators
aeoHd hare been, had 1t not been for the
military protecting yo,t md them Had
not the military been here, ace ,could hure
seen uho snoHld hare gone hoacli4g back
to their deus :"
The above is from an editorial in the
last "Berkeley Union.' 1t admits the
existence, on last election day, OF a pur-
pose Oh the part Of the Radicals, to at
tack our person, TO destroy our press, to
mob certain other gentlemen of the com
munity, and by brute force, to carry out
all their illegal and criminal ends; and
that this purpose was defeated by the
presence of the militaryamong us. The
acts Of the radical party, had already
convinced Us of its utter want of rever-
ence for law and truth-but such a frank
acknowledgment by its leaders, that, as
d party, ii is composed of men whose
laWlessHess, can be restrained from the
gravest crimes, only by military force,
we did not expect. The editors Of the
onion know the character and designs
OF their political associates, better, of
course, than we do,-and it seems that
this knowledge revealed to them me-
cessity for the presence of military which
to as was unknown. It IS, however.
much 30 be regretted, that the Sheriff OF
oar county did not employ Lieut.. Myers
and his men, exclusively in the appro-
pirate anditnoW seems necessary duty of
guarding the persons and property of
conservative citizensagainst the premed-
ltated outrages OF the radical party
Why he should have deemed Il necessa-
~ to employ the military in arresting
eight or ten conservative and loyal citi-
zens at their own houses, III order to de-
feat the guilty purposes of 4 radical con-
spiracy, we do not comprehend. Per-
haps he will explain. Wearc, however,
obliged to the editors Of the Orion for
this exposure OF the villainous designs of
their party, and retract our denial of
the existence, on the late election day, OF
any danger of riot and bioodshed. Rad
ical conspirators did design to add anoth-
er and darker feature to their carnival
Of rascality."
