Special Report.


NEW York, May 3.
This morning the bear combination at
tempted to lower the prices, and partially
succeeded. The street quotations were
lower than yesterday, but at the Stock Ex-
changes there were very little pressure to
sell, with q sharp recovery later in the day.
The bull party purchased most of the
stock offered by the besrs, and made the
bear movement failure.
The Stock Market was improved on the
street after open board, and strong at the
second, with a further rise on Erie, Pitts
burg and Canton. There was large de-
mand for stocks generally and not offered
freely.
Government stocks were active, but 5-20s
we're somewhat weaker. Towards the close
of the day they rallied to yesterdays
figures.
State bonds were quiet and somewhat
frmer,
Railway mortgages were firmly held +;
offered sparingly.
Coal and miscellaneous shares firm and
generally better.
The Gold market was very steady and
uniform. The price ranged from 141s te
l42, with the bulk of the sales at 14ls
@142.
Money was easy at 4@5 per cent. for
call loans.

deep black, and this, with the cornics and
! pillars is festooned with white and black
/ A similar drspery falls from the caves and
the cOlnmns supporting the pediments
both on the north aud south entrances are
wresthed with evergreen, and the capitols
are drsped with white and black muslin.
All the windows are partially curtained
with black. The general arrangement is
artistic and appropriate. The entrance to
the Capitol and interior of the rotunds is
heavily drsped, and festoons of evergreen
hang from the dome.
The body lies in the Representative Hall
the galleries of which are supported by
columns, the panels of which are covered
with black velvet, trimmed with silver
fringe. In the centre of each panel is q
representation of a sprig of myrtle made
of silver. On each column, under the
gas lights is an evergreen wreath and
white flowers.
the west side of the hall is painted with
a blue ground with white stars and alter
nate white and red, somewhat resembling
the national flag, with black cloud above
as typical of national grief
Immediately in front OF this is the csts-
fslque. From the corners rise pillars which
are surmounted by black plumes and cov-
cred with velvet bordered with silver
fringe. The ceiling is lined with white lace
dotted with golden stars, which glitter in
the light of numerous gas gets. The effect
is solemnly impressive.
The coffin is placed on a platform and
approached by steps; it Is surrounded by
evergreens and flowers. The walls are
adorned by the following inscriptions:
" Sooner than surrender this principle I
would be asssssinsted on this spot"
" Washington the Father Lincoln the
Savior of his Country"
The remains we're soon after this placed
in the state House, and exposed to public
view"

NEW YORK, May 3.
Sergeant Boston Corbett, says the Post
writes 20 friend in this city, under dsta
of May /; My life has been threatened
in the most blood. d.thirsty manner, but God
is well able to keep me.
The Posts special says: The govern
ment will pay one hundred million dollars
to discharged soldiers and others,, during
the month of May.
Forty million Certificates of Indebted
ness were redeemed in April.
Applications for National Ban ks at Rich
mond, Savannah, Petersburgh and Charles
ton, have been made to the Treasury De.
partment.
There are 1900 troops at Rickars Is
land who will be mustered out of service
this week.
The Posts Washington correspondent
says Mr. Seward is so well that he is ex-
pected to take his place in the Cabinet in
few days.
The newspaper accounts of the attempt
to sssassinste Mr.. Seward were generally
incorrect. Payne, the assassin, only had
an opportunity to strike one blow at Mr..
Seward, who was at that moment sitting
up in bed. The knife struck the swelling
over the fractured j sw and did not touch
the throat. At that instant Robinson, the
nurse, clutched Payne from behind, and
did not for moment let 90 his hold, al
though stabbed four times Mr.. Seward
rolled off upon the floor, feigning death.
To Mr.. Robinson he owes his life. This
heroic soldier is now in hospital here, and
Is doing well, though very badly wounded.
Mr.. Seward now directs foreign dispatches
to Mr.. Hunter.

The 18th and 18th corps are expected to

Anna Dickinson on the Murder OF the
President

Anna Dickinson on the Murder OF the
President
Anna Dickinson spoke in the Academy
of Music in Philadelphia last Saturday eve-
ming, on the murder of Mr.. Lincoln. The
Inquirer gives sketch of her remarks,
from which we copy the following;
ain the death of Mr.. Lincoln by the
hand of the vile assassin the government
lost one of its noblest spirits, and the world
one whose example was we'll worthy of
imitation. In him could be seen all the
noble qualities of an honorable and high
minded man. The slave whose chSins hsve
been made to fail from him, rejoices to-
day, while resping She fruits of his useful
life, and the government feels the value of
the principle established in the carry ing
out of his designs.
"He was the open and determined oppo-
nent of the slave power, an enemy to the
msn-stesler, and the oppressor of man
kind. In him we beheld an honest man,
even his enemies bearing witness to this
fact. In the future his greatness will be
dwelt upon, and his many acts of kindness
will be considered by the thousands of lib
Grated men on southern soil, with indesc -ib- |
able pleasure. The vile assassin who aim |
ed the fatal shot, who struck the fatal |
blow, was unworthy of our sympathies; |
his name should be looked upon with |
hatred, and those who were his accompli- |
ces should be dealt with by the sternest
rigor Of the law. Humanity turns from |
the assassin and his colleagues with the ut
most horror, and all honest men hate them |
with perfect hatred.
The speaker here alluded to the lead
ers Of this vile rebellion, as deserving the
most severe censure. She felt that she
could not find words strong enough to ex-
press her condemnation of them. TAp-
plsuse.] She demanded that justice, stern,
Inhexible justice, should be metsd out to
them. In behalf of outraged law this should
be done. Their crimes have rendered
them unworthy of the respect OF honest
men. Hanging should be their deserts.
Look st the thousands of widows and or
phsns made by them, and then tell me
what they deserve; the 7 scts of treason
are worthy of the severest punishment.
She ventured to say, of the tive, Lee is 8
viler murderer than Booth. He has not
even the pitisble excuse of independence.
He stands IS traitor to his flag and the
of half million of men. He has
not even the merit of keeping the promise
he made, of fighting in his own state. His
very name has inspired the rebel army,
and heightened out q cruel and dreadful
Wsr against humanity.

NEW YORK, Nay 3.
The Tribunes special saws Payna. thu
assassin Of Seward, has finally made con-
fession Of his guilt. He said it was useless
for him to withhold it longer. He hsd
been fully identified by six persons, and
the Government had other evidences in ita
possession that he was the party assigned
to that horrible crime.
The Tribune's Washington special saws
one OF the most prOtracted and important
Cabinet sessions held since Mr.. JohnsOn's
accession TO the Presidency was held at the
Treasury to-day. The subject mstter-
Of the discussion was the free trade ques-
tlon, As regards the South. The whola
system of giving cotton permits and trade
permits to certain class OF favorites was
thoroughly ventilated and denounced, al
though there was 3 decided preponderanca
in favor Of opening trade in all the ports Of
the South subject 70 the Union authority.
It is believed as the result of the sitting
that every facility will be extended bv the
Government for all proper commercial
transactions, and IS q consequence of this
fact cotton permits are at nesvy decline
in this market.
The address delivered to the President
by the delegation of the various Swiss res
idents, contained the hope hat the glorious
success Of the Union will bear on the pres
ervation of all the other sister Republics
on the American continent To the So
tOnishment and indignation of the Delega-
tion, the Acting Secretary Of Stste, to whom
the copy of the address was committed
previous to delivery, struck out, as being
irrelevant the above mentioned para
graph.
Tne Hsrsld's Mobile dispatch of the 10Th
says an officer on General Richard Tsylor's
staff arrived just now with fag Of truce
1t General Canbys Headquarters to make
terms Tor the surrender OF himself and the
men under his command. Nothing is vet
known of what trsnspired between the
General and Taylor's Aid de camp.
