n oetb,s Grave Discovered-Arrest Of
Other COnspiraiOrs

NEW YORK, May 3-The vexed ques.
ton as to the disposal OF the remains OF
Wilkes Booth, is at length settled by
statement which may be regarded as
final After the head and heart, which
have been deposited in the Army Medical
Museum in this city, had been removed,
the corpse was placed in charge OF two
men who, after various movements cal
culated to battle impertiDent curiosity,
dug a grave in little spot of ground
close to the penitentiary, where for some
years the felons have been buried
Booths body was deposited here and the
earth over il was smoothed and careful
" sodded over Other graves OF less IN
famous felons had previously been level
ed, and strong guard is now III charge
of the spot, and will continue to keep it
undistnrbed until the grass has grown
so thckly that no one will ever be able
to distinguish the place where the assas'
sins corpse was inferred from other
nameless graves around IT.
On last Saturday about midnight, the
steamer Keyport Was ordered To the ma
w yard, She received from the monitors
Sangus and Montank the persons who
have been arrested as being directly con
cerned in the conspiracy TO murder the
President and other Union leaders These
persons number fifteen men and one wo-
man. and all are heavily ironed with
ball and chain on each leg, handcuffed in
such a manner as to keep their hands
several incnes apart, and some of the
more desperate ones having their hands
fastened behind their backs. A sort of
sack covered the head and face of each,
leaving only the mouth and nostrels ex
posed, so as to prevent their recognition
by each other OF any one else.
A special sentinel was i'll charge of
each prisoner AS the signal was given
for the Keyport 10 start, the steamers
bell was rang slowly, and nearly all the
muffied prisoners gave convulsive start
at the sound, evidently thinking their
hour of retribution had come. They
were transferred TO the District Peniten-
tiary adjoining the arsenals, where cells
had been arranged for them Two pris-
oners occupy each cell, but sentinel in
charge of each man prevents any com
municatiOn. Notwithstanding the large
number already in custody, several more
of the assassination conspirators are still
at large, bnt their early apprehension is
considered almost certain.

IMPORTANT TO Wool GROwERs.-A
correspondent of the New York Econo-
mist, makes some very excellent sngges-
tions to wool growers, relative to the
frauds perpetrated by some growers to
the discredit of the American wool trade
He suggests that if the wool be washed
at all, il should he done thoroughly all
over the animal, the tag and breech
locks having been previously removed
instead of being wound up inside the
aeeces. As soon as thoroughly dried in
clean grass pasture, the sheep should be
sheared on clean barn floor, and all i'm.
purities be kept away from the teeces
which will then be ready for winding.
He calls the attention of honest men to
a very important poiHt-to use 80 much
thin hard twisted twine, say two yards
as will GROSS the fleece twice only. He
saws: Those who wind many yards OF
warn or coarse tow rope over fleece
confess themselves to be knaves when
they exhibit their wool in such palpa'
bly fraudulent state to the buyers
FL eces so wound round and round. give
palpable evidence of fraud inside, being
stuffed with tags or unwashed wool, the
labyrinth Of ropes preventing examlna'
ton This paltry cheat prevailed exten'
sively last season, especially in Michigan
to the great injury of the credit of its
wool, especially in dull market. when
BUYERS discriminate more carefully than
they are apt to do when purchasing at
shearing time, at which period many
buying agents, in the excitement OF get,
ting all the wool they can, buy wool, and
dirt, and ropes, all at price, as il the
mere possession of such wool was short
and royal road to fortune,-which thu
experience of this year has doubtless
proved to many such operators delusior
and snare"
