srRA s POLITICAL WARS.


It IL ass, ricl by some Of Buffers friends
the eighteen pages spoliatcd from
Booths diary contained evidence regarding
the preparations for the ASSASSINATION, and
the reasons for The abandonment Of the
abduction plot. The fact Is, however, that
All the evidence that has.eyer been elected
ion regard to this diary goes To show that
10 IS now Ia precisely the condition In which
it was taken from Booths body. Detective
Baker once affected a knowledge of the
contents of these missing pages, but when
brought to a pointed examination could
remember nothing he had uad.
MISSISSIPPI MOVES ron An INJuNCrIoN.-
The M~issiSslUpidH learns from u%udoubtcd
authority that Judge Sharkcy tclcgraphcd
to Governor Humphreys for permission to
hlaR bill In the name Of the state OF Mis-
sissippi, to cuioin all proceedings to sub
icct the people of that state To military
lrule, under the recent act Of Congress, aud
that the Governor Immediately replied,
giving the desired authority. Since then
the Governor has received n telegram from
Judge Sharkey upon the subject stating
that the prospects are good
1t Is known that by law the Legislature
Iof virginia is 10 be rcassemblcd on the 10th
IApril proximo. From all reliable informa-
ltion from that state, IL Is plain that The
only purpose the members of that body
'lEavc IN view in connection with national
affairs is that the great change which has
been forced upon them In their political
and social relations shall be contaminated
ia am orderly and amicablc maullcr. New
Icrthrlcss, it seems that the Secretary OF
War insists-(although what authority he
possesses In the premises Is hard to COM
prchcud) that this meeting shall be proven
ted by military force!
In addition to the througs of prominent
political oficc-scekcrs now in Washington
there are hundreds Of the less p%retentious
class, including unmarried women, widows
land eN-rebcls from all parts of the country,
These importunC for places in the Treasury
land other departments, ana also III the
public printing office. As there are no
vacancies, aud n the force at the latter es-
Establishment is being reduced for lack OF
work, many Of these strangers. beng with
Tout friends, are reduced TO the necessity OF
soliciting private charity that they may
return to their homes.
The Boston Post says that the State con
Istabtrs have notified all the saloon keepers
In that city that they must close up on the
sale OF cider ana ale on and after April l.
IL Is understood that the sale of beer and
cider will be prohibited in ever city and
town throughout the Commonwealth on the
period above named. The sale of all other
liquors Is of course forbidden.
Boston is bound to be saved from per-
dition il human perlectibility can effect 1t
MRs. SuRRArT.-Notwithstanding the as
sertion Of Ben. Butler that Mrs. SurratI
was innocent, aud that he Military Com
mission which tried her, had put to dealt
an innocent woman, Congress refused t.
%lrcfcr the question of Mrs. Surratt's limo
lccuce or guilt to a Judicial Committee o
Inquiry.
The legal pay of the members of the IL
: liuois Legislature amounted to 500 to cacl
for the last session. Perquisites yote'
brought the amount actually received 10y
each up to SS7G.
! 1t is needless to say they were all ioyai.
