Many of us have Cfyen remarked how

and treats the sui jsct very resdsbly. He

q. A. Page, Z o. the correspondent of
the New York Tribune with the funeral
procession, writes as follows Of the ceremo-
nies in this city:
Not less than 100000 people passed
through the very beautiful aud fitting pa
viTion provided at Cleveland for the recep-
tion of the sacred dust we are bearing west
ward. Many thought that in no other
place had the arrangements been SO
thoughtfully made, and were so peculiarly
appropriate. The population OF the city,
swelled for the day by perhaps 10000
from 8 distance, wed with each other in
all sorts of testimonials suitable TO the oc-
casion. Fifty private carriages were ten
dered by their owners for the use of the
escort. Two hundred leading citizens, or
gsnized into ten relefs of two hours each,
watched by the corpse.
The colored population, including two
lodges OF "Free and Accepted Mssons,'
and other associations, we're in the body
of the procession, and passed in their turn
through the pavilion. In the evening,
Gov. Brougb, whose residence is in CleVe-
land, received at his house the Cong-es-
sionsl Committee the Delegation from
Illinois, the Military GusTd OF Honor and
others who accompany the iuEersl. Alto
gether, Cleveland, for her beautiful streets,
her hos pitable citizsnr, snd the funeral
honors she paid to Lincoln, has left an en-
visble impression upon the whole party.

9Ie constitutional amendment,


Connecticut has ratified the Constitution
al Amendment abolishing slavery. 1t was
the twentY-frst State, including Tennes-
see, Louisiana, Virginia and Arkansas, to
DO so. There is little doubt but that New
Hampshire, Iowa, Oregon and California,
will soon follow ia the same direction. The
assent Of but one State will then be want
ing to make the great amendment the law
of the land. Unless Kentucky reconsid-
ers her action Of last winter and falls into
line with the other loyal States, we shall
have to wait until ote Of the seeded States
is SO far reconstructed that it eau adopt
the amendment. Under present circum.
stances 1t seems highly probable that with
in twelve month North Carolina will be
brought back and will be in condition to
give the final ratification 10 the great
Amendment.

George d. Prentice and the Assassiuas
ton.

Some weeks ago George d. Prentice pre-
dicted in the Louisville Journal that the
rebels we're contemplating a scheme which
would sstonish the world" Since the
assassination several papers have referred.
to the prediction in connection with it
Mr.. Prentice explains himself as follows:
Whist we know or have known we can
say in very few words. A distinguished
man of Kentucky stated 10 partner of
ours (msny weeks after our return from
Richmond, that be knew that the Con-
federates contemplated movement or an
action (i0e didn't say ylOf') that would
stsrtle the nation. Hs said that he had no
right to say anything further about it. Of
course cur partner could tell US nothing
in regard TO it, for he knelD Iothing. So
we simply stated whist we thought might
be interesting to our country, and possibly
for its good) that the rebels were contem-
plating something that would smazs the
country.
The ides that the rebels were contem-
plating the assassination of the President
and his Cabinet never entered our thoughts.
We would have given thousand lives ike
ours to save Mr.. LincOln's. He rendered
us more personal lavOrs Than all other Pre-
sidents ever did, and certainly mere than
any others ever will.

Governor BEOWnIOw on Isham &,
Harris.

Harris.
The Legislature of Tennessee havir q
authorized the Governor to offer reward
of $4,000 for the cspture of Isbam g..
Harris, the retel pretender to the Governor
ship of Tennessee, Brownlow has irsued
characteristic proclamation to that effect.
His description of Harris is especially
pointed and Brownlowish. Here it is
"This. .culPrit, Harris, is about five feet
ten inches high, weighs about one hundred
and foIty-tiye pound, and is about fifty
i've years of age. HIS complexion is SAL
low-his eyes are dark and penetrating
perfect index to tho heart OF traitor
with the sooWl and frown of demon rest
ing upon his brow. The study of mis-
chief and the practice of crime, have
brought upon him premature badness and
gray head. With brazen. faced impu-
dence, he talks loudly and boastinFly
about the overthrow OF the Yankee army,
and eutertSins no doubt but the S Juth Will
achieve her Independence. He chews
tobacco rapidly, and Is inordiDately fond
OF liquor. In his mora structure, ne is an
unscrupulous man-steeped TO the nose
and chm in personal and political profit.
gscy-now about lost to all sense o. honor
ard shsme-With heart reck ess of social
duty, and fatally bent on mischief.
If captured, he will be found lurking
in the rebel strongholds of Mississippi,
AlSbams OF Georgia, and in female society
alleging with the sheep faced modesty of a
viriucus man, that it is not wholesome
state Of public sentiment, or of taste, that
forbids an indiscriminate mixing together
OF married men and women. Ii captured,
the fugitive must be delivered to me alive,
to the end thst justice may be done him
here, upon the thester of his former villain
GUS deeds.

Mr.. Garrett was not personally acquainted
with Jett, but knew the family, who livein
a neighbOring county-W Westmorelsnd
county-snd out of respect 10 them, and
with the hberslity and hospitality for
which he Is proVerbsl IN sll that district Of
countrv, he took the word and honor OF
young Jet that Boyd, alias Booth, was
friend. He treated him as g neighbor would
do friend of neighbor. The result is
too well known.
Garrett had appealed TO JeLt to sign
certificate that these facts are correct but
he refused to do so. Jett has since been
arrested.
PROBING TIE PLOT.
The public have no idea of the extent 10
which the authorities have pro6Ud this
plot. The accounts published give but
faint ides. They know how the chief ac-
tor in the tragedy has been tracked and
followed through Maryland and hunted
down in Virginia, and how no died like
dog; but this is but one portion Of ihs
whole sffair, but one branch of the stream
which has been gone over. In almost
every respect equal success has crowned
the efJrts of the authorities; and, in fact,
in some instances, with much greater sue
cess as tbs public will see in the due course
of time. The persons taken into custody
IS participatore, siders and sbettors, or IN
some way accomPlices TO the tragic deed,
sreI um 6ered almost by hundreds. Thereare
still few st large; until they are captured
it will not be the part of wisdom TO publish
in detail the developments in full which
have trsnspired.
THE CONSPIRACY ORGANIZED IN AUGUST
LAST.
One thing is certain, that the 9rties who
were TO execute the strOcious deed which
has filed the land with mourning, COM
menced holding their meetings in Wash
iDgton as long sgo as August, 1864. They
we're bound together by one of the streng-
est oaths ever taken by mortsls, and every
person who was admitted TO the secret
was bound 70 remsin faithful TO the end st
the pensltTtof deRth-his life 10 be taken
by one of his associates. Many OF the con-
federates were not tsken fully into the
secret, and even those who were, were ST.
lowed 20 approach it only by degrees ss
their fsitbf illness TO their oath had been
tested. The authorities have been fortu-
1 ate enough 10 ascertain where, when and
how often tho conspirstors held their
meetings, and have taken into custody the
people who occupied the houses where
they met. The number which were taken
into the secret before the contamination
of the deed was 90 lsrge that i. is sstouish-
ing that some one Of the number did not
reveal it.
