MARSHAL Lannon'S AssIsTANTs-Mr Ed.
tor: The list of marshals selected by General
Joseph H. Bradley. attorney. at law, &C., and
Deputy Marshal Phillips, to assist Marshal
Lamon at the late funeral ceremonies of our
beloved and lamented President contained the
names ofabout one hundred and sixty citizens,
and boldly say that the selection of such
list OF persons to oficiate on that most solemn
occasion was the greatest outrage upon the just
sense of propriety OF the loyal people of this
District that has been perpetrated since the
commencement of this internal slaveholding
rebellion. Upon that list the names of but four
teen friends of Mr.. Lincoln can be found. and
three-fourths OF the remainder have been his
bitter enemies and revilers.
But, say MesSrs. Bradley and Phillips, the
friends of MIR. Lincoln, could have had their
names placed upon that list had they request
ed that favor Of them. The enemies of Mr.
Lincoln could have their names placed upon
the list OF marshals at his funeral without
being consulted, but his friends must solicit as
special favor that precious favor.
The plea has also been made that Messrs B.
and +. were ignorant OF the political antece-
dents and proclvities of the persons selected
by them for marshals.
No persons in this city know better tn an thew
do the politics of the class OF citizens from
which they made up their list, and they cannot
wipe out the disgrace that properly attaches to
that act, by any plea Of accident or ignorance
There are at least four influential citizens
occupying positions in the City Hall who are
Republicans, and were devoted friends of Mr.
Lincoln and his policy, and not one of those
gentlemen were consulted, and their names
were not placed upon Messrs. Bradley and
Phillips list of Marshals.

yesterday the particulars OF the suicide at Fort

several attempts to pass through the lines, and
upon whose person papers were found tndf.
eating that his name was Geo: B. Love.
We learn since that hospital steward, Geo.
B Love, U. S. A., was dismissed the service
by general orders No 6s, Headquarters Medi-
cal department, dated April S, 1865. for having
demanded a per centage from the sutler Of
Camp Parole, Annapolis, Md, (where he was
on duty,) on such purch'.se as he made, and
The Sentence was ordered to A be inserted in

1t is probable that modification at his dis.
graceful position may have had something to
do with his suicide.
