still in deep sorrow over our great Poi
lie calamity. This morning the Church.
IN this City, Brooklyn, Jersey Ci.y. ~

in mourning
The services were of an impressiy,
character, all the Pastors making allu
sion to the event
In the reading of the Episcopal ser
vice where the Divine blessing is i'm
plored for the President Of the United
States, there was unusual grief displayed
The streets are quiet, and there j,
every manifestation of heartfelt grief
Flags are flying at half mast and many
are draped in black. Broadway and al
other principal streets, are dressed in
tokens of sorroE Nearly all the private
houses are covered with similar EN-.
blems. The sadness is universal.
The party opponents of Mr.. Lincoln
aunite with bis friends in deploring the
nation's loss. Many well known rebel
#syn pathizers denounce the assassina-
@tion, and say that the South had more
hope from Lincoln's clemency than they
lean look for in his successor
A few persons who have spoken in
defence of the murder narrowly escaped
and are now lodged in Jail
The feeling is general that the rebels
deserve little forgiveness for this coward
ly assassination of the President and
Secretary of State. There is determil
nation to give generous support TO
President johnson under present cir
cumstances. This sentiment appeared
universal yesterday, and unless it abates
there will be less party quarreling than
heretofore. +
No arrangements have yet been made
flor ceremonies on the day of the funeral,
but they will be provided for soon.
All places of amusement will remain
CLOSED during the week, and there will
be comparatively little business trans
acted Public and private business will
remain in their present drapery.
Citizens generally are wearing insig-
mia of mourning Foreign vessels in

Nof sorrow scarcely less than our own
Il The Times makes the following edito-
Trial comments on the murder Of the
president:
q " Perhaps q paramount element in
#public feeling was evoked by personal
1regard for Abraham Lincoln. That a
Imam so genial, so kind, 80 free from
every particle of unkindness, every act
aof whose life has been marked by bene-
A6cence and good will, should become
the victim of cold.blooded assassination,
Shocked the public heart beyond exI
apression - at the very moment, too,
when be was closing the rebellion which
Hhad drenched our land in blood and
Htears By acts of magnanimity so signal
Vas to excite the reluctant admiration of
l5his enemies His unspotted uprightness
aand personal integrity, his plain COM
'7mon sense, conspicuous in everything
The said or did, commended itself IRE
ssistibly to the judgment and approval of
til great body of the people.
II Major General Augur has offered al
Reward of $4,000 for the arrest of the
murderer of the President, and the as !
sassin of the Secretary of State.
" Various arrests have been made of
kparties suspected of being implicated
