our three neighbors, the Tribune, the Times.
and the Evening Post, in pardoning with si-
lence the great disgrace which Andrew John
son inf cted that day upon bis country
Had the tables been turned, and a similar
offense been committed by Geo. III. Pendie-
ton, we can hardly believe that these jour
nails would have laid their fingers on their
lips in hush Of criticism. As for ourselves,
we trust We are habitua!ly slow to speak i'll
of public men, even of such as deserve dis
praise and certainly among the many jour
nails which have aforetime been hearty in
their kind words of Andrew johnson, none
have been heartier than this sheet; but if
such an appearance as he presented during
his inauguration is to pass without public
rebuke, in these and in other newspaper col
umns, then there no longer remains to the
press any duty ofimpartial criticism of men
in official stations. Once or twice, we have
felt it our duty to speak against the excess
i've use Of intoxicating liquors by some of our
public men. 1t may be asked What is the
duty Of public journal in such cases7 1t
seems to US plain. We hold that if public
man is drunken in private company he is
not amenable to comment in the newspapers
but if be be drunken while acting his part on
public occasion, his offense is against the
public, and should never be shielded from the
just punishment ofpublic censure. In the
Senate chamber, on the 4th of March. in
presence of the Senate, of the House, of the
Cabinet, of the Supreme Court, of the dipIo+
matte corps, of the newspaper press, of a
gallery of ladies', and during part Of the
time) Of the President of the United States
and on an occasion to be forever historic
the Vice President elect presented h,mself
to take his SOLEMN oath of office in state OF
intoxcation. Not in anger but in sorrow do
we chronicle this fact, which We have 40 just
right to suppress. A few weeks ago, the
| Speaker of the House of Representatives was
commanded by vote of that body to admins
ter public reprimand to a member who had
committed similar offense with less conspic
uous shame, If a member Of Congress is to
be punished for such an act, shall the Pres
ident of the Senate remain unpunished OF
couree, the Senate will choofe its own meth
cd of reaching the case method which, we
trust, will be kind, moderate, and just. But
meanwhile, it is the plain duty Of Mr.. John
son either to apologize for his conduct or to
resign his office. In the name of an insulted
people, we are compelled to demand that SC
great an affront to the dignity Of the repub-
lie shall be made to bear fit penalty, atone
mcnt, and warning.

since then~he is said to have accumulated
considerable money by oil specuations in
Western Virginia. Of late he has passed
large portion of his time in Washington, with
which city and its theatres he was perfectly
familiar. About eight or ten days ago he
was in New York, drinking profusely. Ru-
NOR says that in his drunken moods he has
often declared his intention to kill President
Lincoln, and that he often exhibited nicked
bullet, which, he said, was to do the deed
The truth of these statements may be ascer-
tanned by the police upon inquiry of his asso-
ciates here; but it is certain that he talked
in a wild, reckless way about the war and
that bis sympathies were entirely with the
Rebels. OF this, we believe, he made 40
conceaIment, and il is reported that his
brother Edwin turned him out of the house O
short time ago in consequence of his treason
able utterances.

Beecher Oh President Line ,ln.

We publish the following from the hide
pendent, Henry Ward Beecher's pa per, which
is the especial organ of the radicals. As
this class are now crowding around the new
President and claim him as the representa-
tive of their peculiar ideas, we deem it we'll
enough to preserve it, as a scrap of hisrory,
which IN the rapid whirl of events, may be
overlooked and forgotten. We hope this one
false step of the president, taken at a time
when the eyes of the whole world were up
on him, may be more than atoned for, by his
subsequent course. Whatever of merit there
may be in his administration, we shall Ger
tainly be willing TO accord to him. He has
yet to prove himself worthy to occupy the
place once occupied by Washington, JEFF
ferson, and that long list of heroes and states
men who have preceded him. The mere
fact that be has be come the chief ruler of the
nation, does not, Of itself, transform him
from q demon-as he was thought by some !;
to demigod-as he will now be represented
perhaps by the same persons. That he may
more than redeem himself, 10 our wish and
prayer.
But, hear what Beecher said of Andrew
Johnson-as Vice President.
From the independently
And now concerning the Vice President and
the humiliating spectacle which on that day
he furnished to the world, shall We speak or
keep silent? Perhaps there exists some
good reason why the sad truth should be
suppressed, but no such reason have we yet

Long Contemplation of the Crime.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
A theatrical gentleman Of this city informs
Ls that in the early part of 1868, during an
engagement of j. Wilkes Booth at McVicx-
er's theatre, be made the remark one day,
What glorious opportunity there is Tor a
man to immortalize himself by killing Lin
coin !"
"What good would that do ?" he was ask
ed.
He then quoted these lines:
The ambitious youth who fred the Ephesian dome
0utlives in fame the pous fool who reared it."
swell, who was that ambitious youth
what was his name ?" was then asked"
THAT don't know" Booth rep lied.
Then where's the fame you speak ot!
This our informant tells US, nonplussed
him.
From this it would Sc sm that the assassin
has had the commission of this horrid crime
in his mind for at least two or three years.

',.1ton. Andrew johnson, President of the
United States, is in the ffty-sixth year of his
age: His family resides at present in Nash
vile, Tenn, and consists of his wife and four
children, two sons and two daughters. His
son Robert is twenty nine, ,and Andrew John
son, jr., is twelve years of age, His two
daughters with their families also reside in
Nashville, having been driven from their
homes in Eastern Tennessee. One of Mr..
eJohnson's sons, Charles, a surgeon in the ar
my. was thrown from his horse ia the year
1863, and killed and Colonel Stover, a SON
in law, commanding the 4th regi ment Of
Tennessee infantry, was killed in the battle
of Nashville, while CALAMITY leading his COM
mand, on the 18th of December, 1864, Judge
Patterson, who is also SON in law of the
President, lives in Nashville. Mrs. johnson
has been in very delicate health for some time
past, and it is probable Mr.. Colonel Stover
will preside over The Presidential household

So much elated, arose from the fact that the

the crowd saw The example followed in ev-

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM j.
WILKES BOOTH.
He Acknowledges an Intention to Com.
init Desperate Deed.
From the Inquirer of Wednesday,

From the Inquirer of Wednesday,
The following verbation copy of letter in
writing, which is the hand writing of John
Wilkes Booth, the murderer of Mr.. Lincoln,
has beer furnished US by Hon. William Mill.
war6. United States Marshal of the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania. 1t was handed
over to that officer by John 81. Clarke, who
is brother-in-law of Mr.. Booth. The his
tory connected with it is somewhat peculiar.
In November, 1864, the paper was depos ted
with Mr.. Clarke by Booth, in a sealed enve-
lope, "for safe Keeping Mr.. Clarke being
ignorant Of It's contents. In Jan uary last.
Booth called at Mr.. Clarke's house, asked for
the package, and it was given up to him. 1t
| is now supposed that at that time he took
out the paper and added to it his signature,
which appears to be in different ink from
that used in the body Of the letter; and also
from the language employed could not have
been put to it originally. Afterward he re-
turned the package to Mr.. Clarke again for
safe keeping, sealed ard bearing the super
| scriptioD 81. Wilkes Booth"
The Enclosure was preserved by the family
without suspicion of its nature After the
affecting information of the assassination of
the President, which come upon the family
of Mr.. Clarke with crushing force, 1t was
considered proper to open the envelope
There were found in 1t the following paper,
with some seven thirty United States bonds,
and certificates of shares in oil companies.
Mr.. Clarke promptly handed over the paper
to Marshal Millward, in whose custody it
now remains. From perusal of this paper
it seems to have been prepared by Boothe as
vindication of some desperate act which he
had in contemplation; and from the language
used it is probable that it was plot to ab-
duct the President and carry him off TO
Virginia. If this was meditated it failed
and from making prisoner ofthe President
up to his ASSASSINATION was an easy step for
a man of perverted principles. The itaacs
are Booths own. The letter is as follows.

rest of j. Wilkes Booth amount in the ag-
