u" The New York Tribune thus informs
the thousands of Republicans in Ohio who
are opposed to negro suffrage, that they
have no business in the Republican party.
1t says:
"Men who hold that none but whites
should vote may beyery well in their place,
but there is no room for them in the Re
publican party. Every n who stays IN
il keeps at least ten voters out OF It,"
If the Tribune succeeds in driving out OF
the Republican party all of its present
members who are opposed to negro equality,
it will find an army of very reduced di-
mensions. 1t is a good joke in the Tribune
to assert that every one who stays in i
keeps at least ten votes out of it." That is
almost humorous,

WILKES BOOTH ALIVE.
How He Escaped from Washington,

WASHINGTON, August q, 1867.
There are many persons in Washington who
have always believed that John Wilkes Booth
is alive in foreign country. At the time OF
his pretended murder in barn, by Sergeant
Boston Corbett, the notorious Lafayette ). Baker
was at the height of his power. He had under
his control whole regiment Of pimps, spies,
and informers; men of the most infamous char
acter. who would commit any crime for few
dollars. An immense reward was offered for
Booth, dead or alive, and Baker determined to
secure it. 1t was easy, with the instruments
he had to work with to pass off fictitious
corpse as that of Booths. 1t WAS easy, with
the instruments he had TO work with, to get a
corpse which should somewhat resemble Booth.
Stanton might have been deceived. He might
have supposed that the bogus corpse was that
of Booth. But certain it is that be took etfec-
tive measures to prevent the Identification Of
Booths alleged body. Not only were all Of
Booths old associates excluded, and the public
prevented from seeing the corpse, but the lat
ter was destroyed by chemical process, so
that no vestige of it now remains. Bakers
only object was to set the offered reward, and
he succeeded.
But how did Booth escape? Easy enough.
He was cool, determined, reSolute man, and
had laid all his plans beforehand. He was an
actor. and consummate one. No one knows
how he escaped. But what is more probable
than to suppose that after the murder he went
quietly 10 some room near by and spent an
hour or two in making up a most elaborote dis
cuise; one in which his most intimate friends
would not know him? The next morning,
dressed in this disguise, looking perfectly nat
ural. but not in the least like John Wilkes
Booth, he could have gone openly to the depot
and left in the cars for Baltimore without ex-
citing the least suspicion. Everything would
have depended, of course, on his disguise, but
repeat it, it was in his power TO have made
this disguise impcnetrable. Or, since it is ad-
mitted on all hands that be did not get away
from Washington, he could have made his way
to Baltimore that very night and there have as
sumed the disguise and proceeded North by
the railroad. At all events, since the publica-
ton of the recent articles in the Louisville
Journal on the subject the interest in the affair
has been revived here, and the belief that John
Wilkes Booth is still alive has grown into q
strong belief There is only one single circum-
stance that initiates against this belief, and
that is the testimony of DR.. May, that he saw
the body and knew it to be Booths No doubt
Baker took care that the corpse should resem-
bic Booth. But on the other hand there is the
positive testimony Of gentlemen, well-known
in New Orleans, who have seen Booth alive.

Not Bad.

About forty years ago there lived in Western
Pennsylvania two farmers named Wood and
Osborne, respectively. They were near neigh
bors. but inveteratc enemies and 1t is said
they lived in sight of each other for fourteen
years without speaking to each ether. Wood
one day went out with mattockto dig up halt
dozen stumps that hadnever yet been removed
from his meadow; but finding it pretty hard
work. and moreover, not being very fond OF
work he gave il up and returned to the house.
On the way it occurred to him that by cum
ming device he might induce his unfriendly
neighbor 10 uproot the little annoyances. Act
ING on a bright idea that occurred to him, he
entered his house, got his writing materials,
and. in disguised hand, wrote:
"Mr. Wood I'm an old man, fast approach
ing my end and cannot go tony grave with
out revealing TO YOU a secret. When | was a
young man helped to rob your grandfather
of a large amount of money. and my part
ner in crime buried $4,000 of it under the
roots of a tree in the meadow that now belongs
to YOU. No doubt there trees have been cut
down by this time, but the stumps may still
remain. He was soon after hanged for Il mur-
der he committed, and | was sent to prison for
highway robbery. was but lately released,
and | wish to do all can to atone for past
misdsds. | send this letter by d person who
SAYS he knows where you live, and he will
throw il into your house.
A AREPENTANT CRIMINAL"
Wood sealed this bit Of fiction, addressed II
tohimself, and, when night came, crept stealthi-
" to Osborne's door, opened it little way,
tossed it in, and ran away as though Satan were
after him. On reaching home he retired to rest
and reposed sweetly till morning. When he
rose he cast glance toward his meadow, and,
to his satisfaction, discovered that every stump
in his meadow had been dug up during the
night and pulled out by the roots. After
breakfast he went coolly to work and rolled
them together in pile, in order to burn them.
And imagine Osborne's bitterness Of heart as
he passed by on his way to the village that
morning, saw Wood thus engaged, and knew
how he had been duped by him.

II has been stated in dispatches from this
city that General Grant has given noticeoi his
unwillingness to attend Cabinet meetings, ex-
cept when matters specially appeFtaining to
his department arc to be considered. That the
General desires to keep aloof from discussions
directly bearing upon the politicalissues of tho
day is likely enough but that he has given any
intimation such as is stated in the dispatches
referred to. we are assured his colleagues arc
entirely ignorant Of the fact. 1t is not neces-
sary. much less is deemed obligatory in any

Going to School.

He helped her over the meadow brook,
While her feet she timidly set
Twin lilies they were y on the mossy stone
With the cooling ripples wet
They passed the brook, and it seemed to sing
With sweeter, merrier sound,
As the two with their school-booSs wandered on
Ger the clover-laden ground.
0 little maiden! how fair you were,
With your eyes of heavenly blue;
And the dimples played on your chee Ks As play
On rose the drops of dew.
As play on rose the drops Of dew,
When the breezes merrily blow
And your lips they were tnts Of the rpening peach
In,the morning rudy glow.
Bare feet. how they twinkled among the grass
Did YOU know whenever you took
The path for school, that he waited for you
BY the willow-shaded brook?
Since then, the fragrant blossoms have come
To the boughs, an many time
And bridge is over the brook that sings,
As Of old its pleasant rhyme.
And two are straying upon the bank,
As pen these wandering words;
And they talk of the happy schoOl-day time,
And they watch the building birds.
But stream there is with grander flow,
With sterner, sadder song;
And lovers will cross TO different school,
And help each other along.
