AN EDITOR KILLED. Mr. Joseph Shaw,
editor of the Westminster Carroll county,
Democrat, was killed on Monday evening
last. 1t appears that on the Saturday fol

Minister, at which resolutions were adopted
notifying Shaw that the publication of his
paper would no longer be permitted, on &C.
count of its containing articles abusive OF
the late President, and also pro iiding for
the appointment of vigilance committee to
prevent the return of any parolcd rebels to
the county. Subsequently,, late at night OF
the same day, in the midst Of continued and
increased excitement, crowd went to the
Office of Mr.. Shaw, and destroyed his types,
press, books, &C., compelling him to leave,
and informing him, it is stated, that if he
returned TO Westminster they would lynch
him. He left but returned again on Mon
day evening, took rooms at the hotel. and
announced that he would shoot any one who
should modest him. Late in the evening he
was waited upon by a party of men, but re.
fused to open his door to them. The door
was then broken open, and Shaw at once
fired upon The party entering, shooting in

piercing his head and body with bullets, and
killing him almost Immediately. They then
left the hotel, 1t is understood that the case
is being thoroughly investigated by the prop,
err authorities. Shaw was about thirty FIVE
years of age and unmarried.
The following is the article which appeared
in Shaw's paper the Saturday morning pre-.
vious to the murder of the President, and
which created the bitter feeling towards him.
1t is fair sample of the slang INDUCED in
by the democratic" papers of the country :
'Some people hope that Lincoln's life
will be spared now, in order that the country
may be saved the disgrace of an "incohe-
rent Vice President. But is there not a
slight chance of improvement in case that
Providence should will it otherwise? Lin.
coin, it is true, is reported to be sober
mar. but it is none the less true, that if he
is always sober he is always wrong. So
johnson sober is johnson wrong 3; but John
son drunk might, perchance, be johnson
right AS proof of this, in his ''incoherent'
speech in the Senate he talked about the
Constitution. He certainly never would
have thought of talking of that document if
he had been sober. There is not word
about it in Lincoln's Inaugural 1t is evil.
dent, therefore, that drunken Abolitionist
is more likely to be right than sober one. :"

Gcd has decrec1 that they shall not shame
his irstce before the world by permitting
them to walk in open day in the light of that

four years upon their enormous crimes
Their murderous hands have completed the

leniency for duty, dared to offend high
heaven by standing in the path Of justice to
shield the felon. The thousands who have
joined in this rebellion are not answerable
for the crime in that degree which attaches
to their rulers. They were attracted and
suspended, held in position as stone dust by
iae controlling lights that constantly revolve
among them. Their sins will overtake them
in time or eternity but those monsters of
iniquity shall expiate their crimes and the
crimes they led their people to perpctrate,
before the eyes of men, that Gods justice
may not become mockery in the hearts of
the people.

Booth the Assassin.

The following despatch from the Secretary
of War, shows that j. Wilkes Booth, the
wretch who murdered President Lincoln,
has been overtaken:
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Major General
Dix, New York -. Wilkes Booth and
Harold were chased from the swamp in St.
Mary's county, Md, to CARROTS farm, near
Port Royal, on the Rappahannock, by Colo.
mel Bakers force.
The rear Of the barn in which they took
refuge was fired. Booth, in making his es-
cape, was shot through the head and killed,
lingering about three hours, and Harold was
captured.
Booths body and Harold are now here.
(Signed) EDWIN NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War;
[Port Royal, Va, near which Booth and
Harold were taken, is on the south side OF
the Rappahannock, about twenty miles be.
low Fredericksburg. The belief heretofore
entertained that Booth, after committing his
crime, took refuge in the southern counties
of Maryland, with view to crossing the
Potomac into Virginia, is confirmed.

Reconstruction.


The most bitter opponents heretofore Of
any fixed plan of reconstruction now admit
that the times demand immediate action in
that direction. Jide the last gyration of the

ly unprcparcd for the work of reconstruct
ing civil governments in the States where
those civil governments have been over
thrown by armed traitors. Who shall re.

1t is greatly to be regretted that such Il
plan is not now upon the statute books, a
law of the land but, in its absence, we
hope, and fully believe, that the new Ad
ministration will strike out decided line of
policy, one that will prohibit any action, on
on the part of traitors, looking towards re-
construction, one that will place that work
in the hands of the known loval men, and
that will interpose an efectual barrier to the
resumption by any rebel State of its civil re-
lations until slavery is abolished. Any other
course is to resurrect the old governing class

Town ELECTION. Next Monday, the
LIST of May, is the day on which the ci'zens
of Elkton are to choose seven gentlemen to
control the affairs of the town for the next
year. 1t is to be hoped that the voters will
properly appreciate the Importance of elect
ing practical men to the position. 1t is a
thankless Office, to be sure but gentlemen
of capability should be willing.to serve for
the benefit Of the town. Men of practical
common sense are wanted men who will
not embark in any chimercal schemes; but
carry the affairs of the town along in a plain
manner-mproving it as far as the means at
their disposal will permit. The present
board has worked faithfully for the interests
of the people, and no doubt a statement of
their expenditures will show that the money
has all been well laid out.
