TIE PRESIDENT AND THE RADICAL

THE fhEOlDENl AM Ahh hhD1NAIC'
The Washington correspondent of tho
Public Ledger says
There are certain Indications which go to
show that President Johnson, like the la
mented Lincoln in his latter days, is giving
the extreme radicals wide berth, and / ha
zard nothing in saying that the proclamation
offering the South to trade will be soon fol-
lowed by evidences still more conclusive of
the desire of the President to heal the breach
as quietly and pleasantly as possible, and
unite the two sections again IN one 'harmo-
NOUS whole" You will note that his pro-
clamation reviving trade is not addressed
alone to the loyal people OF the South, but
includes the "well disposed" IN its privi-
leRes and that, too, without compelling them
to take the much abused and often broken
oath of allegiance.
The South, in so far as trade is concerned,
could ask no more than this, for the door Of
commerce is open as wholly and as Freely to
all the people as If such thing as war had
not been known. Whether they Will avail
themselves of the offer remains to be seen,
but they must be rebellious, indeed, II they
allow so handsome privilege to remain dead

thority which l cannot doubt, that terms

amnesty rendered, and a disposition evinced
to make The situation for our "wayward SIS

SUNDAY AMONG THR RtINs.-Sunday, a day
of idleness with citizens, soldiers, and the
strangers in the city, Is generally availed OF
to visit the burnt district, and inspect the
varied aspect of the relics of the ruins, vo-
cation of which curious people seem never to
grow weary. Yesterday, hundreds OF people
could be seen penetrating the labyrinth of
ruins at every point, gathering relics, at the
same time glancing obviously at the tottering
columns of brick and mortar that overhung
them. Relic hunting has not yet "played
out" but there are signs of It, as relics no
longer command the premium put upon them
the first two or three weeks after the occupa-
ton of the city.

DAYS residence that the officers of the On

would be the prevalence of the idea that they

qualified adherence and indignation Tor the
assassination of the President OF the Onlted
States and the attempt TO aSsassinate the Sec
retary of State. No language can Adequately
EXPRESS the shock produced upon myself, IN
common with all the general officers eonnned
here with me, by the occurrence oil TINS sp-
Mailing crime, and by the seeming tendency
in the public mind To connect the Southern
men with it. Need We say that We are no as
sassins. nor the allies of assassinS, be they
from the North or from the South and that
coming as we do, from most OF the States oil
the South. We would be ashamed OF our own
people were We not assured they would repro

BEVERLY TUCKER DENIES ANY KNOWLEDGE
OF THE CONSPIRACY.
The following extract from a letter from
Beverly Tucker, published in the New York
Tribune, of 2sth nit, is interesting, now that
he is implicated in the plot to assassinate the
President. After denying the statement that
he intended to leave New York for Europe,
he says:
uIf this gratuitous assault upon me had
only this extent, | should not have troubled
YOU with this reply. But there is contained
in the last paragraph latent but not the less
offensive innusndo that was either party
to or cOgnizant Of the terrible tragedy that

NAL than is conveyed by the resentment 1

Referring to despatch he addressed Sec.
rotary Seward on the day before the assassi-
nation, from Montreal, requesting permission
TO return to Richmond under Gen. Weitzers
order for the assembling of the rebel Legisla-
ture, Tucker concludes:
The next day was Good Friday, and as this
Is strictly observed as a sacred holiday in all

until Saturday. Upon opening the morning
journal on that day, ! found the telegraphis
report Of the assassination of the President,
and the attempt upon the lives Of Secretary
Seward and his son. Surely no one in this
