sake-he it is who has won in q single day Z
national fame and a professional military re-
nown not inferior to the proudest. Gen. Terry
was one of the few men who before the war saw
the necessity of preparation for it, who helped
to put his state (Connetieut) in preparation fol
il, and who devoted his own energies to its ap.
preaching demands. He was among the frs
in the field, has served steadily and with ever.

E. n STANTON,
Secretary of War
WASHINGTON, April 81 " yesterday
morning a squadron of the 10th New
York cavalry traced Booth and Harold
to barn, between Bowling Green and
Port Royal, near fredericksburg Va
The barn was surrounded, and a demand
made for their surrender, which Harroll
was in favor of doing, but upon Booth 5
calling him coward, he refused to do so
The barn was then set on fire and upon
its getting too hot, Harold again present
ed himself and put his hands through the
door to be handcuffed While this was
going on, Booth fred upon the soldiers,
upon which a sergeant fired at him The
ball of the sergeant took effect in the
head of Booth. killing him. Harold was
taken alive Booths body was brought to
the Washington navy yard last night
Booth was discovered in the barn by
the cavalry He declared his intention
never to surrender, and said he would
fight the whole squad, consisting Of
twentv~eieht men, 1t they would permit
him 10 place himself twenty yards distant.
The scouting party was under the com
mand of Lieut. Edward Dongherty. Booth
was on a crutch, and was lame He lived
two hours after he was shot, whispering
blasnhemies against the Government, and
sending a message to his mother At tie
time he was shot it is said he was leaning
on his cruteh and preparing to fire again
upon his captors
The Star has the following particulars
of the capture of Booth
"To Lieutenant Colonel l. c. Baker,
special detective of the War Department,
and his admiralty trained detective force,
and to the 10th New York cavalry, active
participators In these seizures of the
criminals, the country owes a debt OF
gratitude for this timely service. 1t seems
that a detachment of the 10Th New y ork
cavalry, numbering twenty-five men, was
dispatched from this city on Monday, un-
der the direction of Colonel Baker, in
command Of Lieutenant Doueherty, ac-
compauied by some Of Colonel Bakers Of

The Presidents WIDOW.

We learn from Washington that it is
the purpose Of Mrs. Lincoln to make this
city her future home, More than a year
ago the deceased President declared 20
some Of his intimate personal friends
here, that after he had laid aside the cares
Of his great Office and retired to private
life, it was his intention to spend the re-
mainder Of his days in Chicago lie had
commissioned one Of our citizens to look
about the city, and before the close Of his
present term of Office, TO secure the refus-
al Of a comfortable residence on some
pleasant aad suitable street lie fcl5 n
warm attachment to the people of Chicago,
for what they had done for him before he
became President, and for their unwa YER
in- ana powerful support through the dark
days Of his first term. If the matter had
been left to the free choice of the stricken
widow OF the fallen chief. she would have
directed that his ashes should repose on
old Michigan shore near those of his
great compeer and friend, Stephen A
Douglas There would be a manifest fit
ness Of things in placing the mortal re-
mains of those great sons of Illinois side
by side But the strenuous desires Of
Springfield friends Of the President pre-
vailed in Sc Getting the place Of iuterment
The sudden death of the President pre-
vented him from expressing any opinion
or preference in relation to choice OF

The Slavery Question in Kentucky.

CINegNNArI, April 25.-Gen. Brisbane
superintendent of the organization of
colorej troops in Kentucky, has written
letter to Gov Bramlette calling attention
to the disturbed condition of labor in
that State, and urging him to call the
Legislature together and pass the Consti>
tutioua, amendment The General SAYS
the slaves are nominallv free Masters
can no LONGER depend on their labor He
points out the evils that must arise from
the present half slave and half free con
dItiOn OF the state, and claims that the
passage Of the amendment would quiet
the minds of the negroes, cause them TO
remain At home and till the soil, now SO
much in need Of their labor More than
twenty thousand most valuable slaves have
already gone into the army from the State
of Kentucky. She must choose either to
have her slave population absorbed and
freed by the army or to save her labor to the
soil by granting unconditional freedom to
slaves ut home.
The Governor replies, c0ucurrinr in the
onil. ION that slavery can no longer be re-
tanned in Kentucky, that labor must be
rcor.anizesi on firm basis, and says war
has cxterminased slavery and resolution
lied the pub il mind in regard to it
Slavery being ended in the rebelIious
States the Government thinks 1t should be
ended IN Kentucky by the most direct and
speedy means, and regards the passage of
the constitutional amendment rs the most
practical method. He thinks is adoption
may save the state from Il dearth OF in
dustry and from suspension Of proluc-
ton, and calls to mind the patriotism Of

Shall Treason 90 Unpunished 7

Now that the rebellion is nearly brought
to close, the public mind naturally asks
What shall be done With the rebel leads
ers2 Many appear to think the final adj
5ustment of matters with the rebels will
be complicated and difficult They appear
to be afraid that traitors will be too severe
" d alt with TO us the line Of duty on
the part Of the Government appears clear
ms the sun at midday in cloudless hori~
zon.~ The law should he faithfully exc
cuted Treason is a crime, if we rightly
understand the law, the punishment of
which is death The Constitution Of the
United States. Article Sd of Section Sd,
says, Treason against the United States
shall consist only in lcyying war against
them, or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort"
If the leaders Of the rebellion are not
guilty of treason under the Constitution,
we can see no meaning in the langua ge
used. In many eases they had received
their education at the expense of the Gov
eminent, and sworn a soemn oath to sup
port ths Constitution Of the United States,
and to defend the Government against in
ternal as well as external foes. And yet
we find them battling to their utmost to
destroy that Government and blot from
the map of the world the Union they had
sworn to defend What punishment, we
ask, short Of the extreme penalty Of the
law, should be melted out to such men?
It's true many Of them are now paroled
on their honor, or oath. But what bind
ing effect can parole have upon them
greater than the oath they have violated ?
Unless such men as Davis. Lee. johnson,
Breckenridge, Beauregard, and their Co
laborers in treason are brought TO trial
and hung, our laws are a farce and not
worth the time spent in their enactment
We DO not expect, nor do we believe that
all who deserve to be hanged VIII meet
their deserts, but their escape viii be
through the clemency Of justice, and not
by reason Of the justice Of clemencv
It is with no spirit of revenge that we
would wish the execution of any one, but
for the future safety of our Government
Men should be tauchtthat rebellion against
the laws of the land cannot 20 unpunish-
ID, else our laws are worthless. Men
whose hands arc red with the best blood
of the nation. after having once violated
their most solemn obligations, as they
have done, only need reasonable pros
pect for success TO induce them to again
repeat their horrible endeavor to destroy
our Government Let such men be taught
that treason IS q crime the punishment of
which cannot be averted. Then, and not
till then, can we rely upon the safety Of
our repnbIean Institutions
