J. WILKES BoorH.-The individual who has
thus suddenly flashed before the eyes of the
world, like fiery and destroying comet, was not
before unknown. Although but young man,
he had already, in virtue of his talented connec-
ton and his own great histrionic ability, gained
no mean reputation as a tragedian.
he was born, we believe, either in Baltimore
or Philadelphia, in 1882 and is the son oft he
well-known tragedian, Junius Brutus Booth
The given name of his father that of the
most noted assassin of ancient times = a circum-
stance, however, which has little relation with
the present affair." except that his son has proved
himself the greatest assassin, not only of the
present, but OF all ages. The elder Booth was an
Englshman Of great ability dissipated habits, and
nervous temperament, all of which we're repro
duced in his son.
Young Boath made his debut in Richmond
and very soon after took front rank in the pro-
fession which he has so fearfully isgraced In
politics he is known to have been an ultra seces-
sionist, and in habits to have been a confirmed
drunkard..
Two years ago he was in Chicago, and, while
there, was mainly remarkable for his outspoken
disloyalty, his cratic behaviour, and his beastly
lntoxication whenever he could escape the guar
dianship of his friends. During a conversation
at one time with Manager Mevicker he asser. d
that Immortality awaited any man who would kill
Nh Lincoln, and Endorsed his opinion with the ia
miliar quotation
"The ambitious youth who fred the Ephesian
dome,
"Outlives in fame the pious fool who reared it. y
he has succeeded but too well. He has proba-

From the moment the president was shot
nm tn his death, he was insensible, and exhi-
bited no signs of pain, recognised no person,
and in fact, | believe, did not open his yes.
Blood troubled his breathing. often making
it extremely difficult. He was watched with
tender care, and all that could be was done
for him. --o~
About 5 o'clock this morning, reached
the house where the president lay in his dy.
ing agonies. He was laying upon his bed
apparently breathing with great difficulty
His eyes were protruding from their socket,
and suffused with blood. In other respect,
his countenance was unchanged.
At % minutes past Z his muscles relaxed
and the spirit OF Abraham Lincoln few from
his earthly tabernacle to that undiscovered
country from whose bourne no traveller re

beaming with that characteristic smile which

without even a perceptible motion of limb
Calm and silent, the great and good man pass

was dropping gently upon the roofs of the
humble appartment where they laid him
down to die. Guards had been stationed Il
keep the people from the house, and no nois,
could be heard in the streets save the foot
steps of the sentry pacing to and fro as hi
guarded the remains of Abraham Lincoln
All present felt the awful solmnity of the oc

touching scene without melting to tears.

1t VIII be the duty of the nation to make
inquiry into the peeuniary circumstances of
Mr.. Lincoln at the time of his death. and to
make generous provision Tor bis family, if it
shall be found, as it is not improbable, that
his salary was consumed In meeting the ex-
penses necessary to his position. Probably
the precedent established when General IIar-
rison died will govern congress in this ms.
lance. We think Mrs. Harrison was grant

which excited much debate, though not at all
q partisan character,as all the members were
willing to make as liberal an appropriation

OF the late president were so suddenly and

There are not on this day mourners more
sincere than the democracy of these northern
states. Widely as they have differed with
Mr.. Lincoln,-greatly as their confidence in
him had been shaken,-they yet saw in the
indications of the last few days of his life
that he might command their support in the
close of the var as in she beginning. These
indications inspired them with hope, and con-
fdence, and JOY. which are now dashed to the
ground. The democracy may we'll mourn the

col. MORRIS, LETTER.

In the EVENING ARGUS, of yesterday, We
published the able and eloquent letter Of
Hon. Isaac N. Morris formerly democratic
member of congress from the Quincy district
to Gen. Murray Mcdonnell, democratic s'a'o
senator. We ask our readers TO give tue ie''
ter careful perusal and then say, IL 'nes
can wbether IL is not best to be rid, forever
of the curse of slavsry.y in. a lawful and con
stitutional manner. We have been an "aVo-
cate of the constitutional amendment, forever
prohibiting slavery within the United States,
. from its first proposal, and I'VE took especial
pains to discuss the question, last fall ana
at the opening of congress, sent hpera
supply of the ARGUS to every, denocranc
member of congress. We were especiaiiy
anxious that the old congress should SEND TINS
amendment to the states for action at % GARY
a dav as possible,-and we were grained &c
find that. at the final vote, enough democratic
members of congress voted for 1t to SEND II 70
the people. And we suppose every oooy
knows that it could not have been done In
that congress without democratic votes.
We were also gratifed to find that, when
the amendment came before our legislat ure
one half of the democratic members voseo
for it.
The question is not party one, but 1t is :
one in which every lover of free and united
America has deep interest. The amend
ment has been adopted by Illinois, and it is
not question which viii come before the
people of our state again. Still as SUBJ
lee. on which every man should be well post
ed, and rightly informed
It requires 81 states to make it part Of
the constitution of the United States and the
supreme law of the land. The necessary
number has not yet been obtained-but, IN
our opinion, they will be within the present
year, and we can then say that America IL
free in fact as we'll rs in name.

From the Chicago Post.
Where shall he be Buried.f

|. No definite arrangement, we believe, has vet
been made as to the particular place in Illinois
where the remains of Alb raham Lincoln are to be
buried. Upon this subject, we find in the Pitts
burg POST suggestion which strikes us as emil
nently proper and appropriate. This suggestion
is that the mortal part of Abraham Lincoln should
rest in the same ground where repose the remains
of Stephen A. Douglas. The site--two and a
half acres-has recently been purchased by the
state of Illinois, at cost of $25, 600 and, fund
for the erection of a monument that shall be
worthy of the memory of the great commonner,
as well the great of Illinois, is already be-
gun.
''Both Lincoln and Douglas were accepted sons
of the Praiaie State they, while differing widely
in politics, still were personal friends. During
their canvass, prior to the election of U. s. sena
tor, no personal recrimnation was allowed to
pass their lips.
And when the rebellion first developed its
hiteous proportions, Douglas among the first
who had opposed the presidents policy. to call
upon him and give him the benefit of his giant in
tellect toward the steps to he taken to quell it
Douglas reposes rs the shores of Lake Michigan.
Where can we so well deposit the remains of the
lamented President Lincoln, as by the side of his
equally distinguished adversary in politics. Both
being citizens of the great state of Illinois, and
both equally patriotic, let them lie side by side in
the grounds owned by their adopted state, and
within sound of the murmurs of Lake Michigan.
And when peace shall be happily restored TO this
distracted country, and the navigator upon this
inland American sea shall see the sight of the
monument which should be erected
over these two distinguished friends of their
country, who, after life's ftful fever sleep well,
he will drop tear over the memory of two dis
tinguished as well as representative American
citizens"
We earnestly commend this suggestion to the
consideration of Gov. Oslesby, Lieut. Gov. Bross
and the authorities generally of the state, well
as to the relatives and friends of the deceased. =
Will not our city authorities also consider the
question. =
