J. WILKES BooTH.-If readers have
forgotten the letter of Andrew III. Wilson, Esq, Of
Galveston, published in the Peayune of May Is, they
will be interested in reading it again in connection
with the following from Gen. 4. @. Bakers History
of the Secret Service: y
In order to establish the identity of the body of the
assassin beyond all question, the Secretary of War d.
rected me to summon number OF witnesses, residing
in the City of Washington, who had previously known
the murderer Some two years previous to the
snation of the President Booth had had tumor or
carbunce cut from his neck by surgeon. On aqui-
ry, learned that DR.. May, welknown and very
skul surgeon, of twenty five years practice in ash
ington, had performed the operation.
Accordingly, called DR.. May, who, before see
ing the body, infinitely described the exact locality of
the umor, the nature and date of the operaton ETC.
After being sworm he pointed TO the scar in the neck,
which was then plainly visible. Five other witnesses
were examined, all of whom had known the assassin
intimately for years The various newspaper accounts,
referring to the mutilaon of Booths body equal
/ ly absurd Gen. Barnes, Sargeon General q. S. A.,
was on board the gunboat where the post norton
animation held, with his assistants. Gen. Barnes
cut from Booths neck about two inches of the spinal
column through which the ball had passed this piece
! of BONE which is exhibition in the Govern
ment Medical Museum, ID Washington, is the only
relic of the assassin's body above ground and this
the only mutlaton OF the remains that occurred
Immediately after the conclusion of the examination
the Secretary OF War gave orders to the DISPOSE
ton of the body, which had become very offensive
owing to the condition in which had remained after
death; the leg, broken in jumping from the box to
the STAGE much aiscolored and swollen, the blood
from the wound having saturated his under clothing.
With the assistance OF Lieut.. L. B Baker took the
body from the gunboat direct to the old penitentary
adjoining the old arsenal grounds. The building had
not been used as prison Tor some years previously
The ordnance department had filled the ground floor
cells with fixed ammunition. One of the largest of
these cells selected the burial place of Booth
The ammunition was removed, a large fiat stone lifted
dropped in, the grave filled up, the stone replaced
ard there rests to this hour all that remains of John
Wilkes Booth

THE FAILURE OF JACOB BARKER's BANK.-A New
Orleans letter to the Memphis Avalanche says:
The failure of Jacob Barkers bank has been pro-
ducve of very serious amount of suffering amongst
the poor people ii this city The most implicit conf
dence in his safety and sovency existed the part of
the mass of the laboring population. Hence they de-
posted all their earnings with him. 1t was reckoned
especially the poor peoples savings bank, and very
safe. When the failure announced it fell like an
electric shock on the people. They focked to the
corner of Gravier and Camp streets, and thronged
about the doors in large numbers. Many demonstra-
tive distressing were Witnessed, while hundreds
Of the stricken only exhibited their trouble and des

plainly clad laboress, lettering old women, sewing
girls GRAND boys, and whites and negroes of all

len. Swayne's Report Upon the Mobile Riot.
HEADQUARTERS, DISTRICT OF ALABAMA

HEADQUARTERS, DISTRICT OF ALABAMA !
Montgomery, Ala, May 30, 1867.
Major Gen. John Pope, Commanding Third Military
District, Atlanta, Ga:
General Herewith have the honor to transmit to
you the report of Col O. L. Shepherd 18th o. S. In
fanry commanding officer at Mobile upon the recent
riot in that city.
Immediately upon hearing of the outbreak, pro-
ceeded to Mobile in company with Breyet Brig. Gen.
VIM. Mckee Dunn, Assistant Judge Advocate General,
and made personal inquiry into what occurred.
So far as can learn, the disturbance not ap-
pretended or deliberately planned unless possibly by
small party of rufians, such usually found in
cities. Nor do find that after it commenced it was
participated in by large number of persons. but that
the contrary, the hastily abandoned ex-
cept by the police and by such parties of freedmen
gathered together tor defence from confusion or
excitement.
1t seems that the speaker having been for some
time interrupted by persons who should have been
immediately removed, single arrest made. This
was accompanied by the discharge of pistol after
which number of shots fred at the stand ocen
pied by the speaker and his friends. After momen
tary all large number Of additional shots were fred
apparently without vindictve purposes the weapons
so far as known, being pointed in the air.
LIDO not find that greater charge than timidity OF
nefcieney be sustained against the police author
tiles of the city of Mobile. At the same time, freedom
of speech and public order have been greatly outraged
in that city, by element which is active in the spirit
the police in this regard. This is supported by the
tecedents of the police and by the fact that but sim
gle arrest effected on the night of the disturbance
Sincere and earnest apprehension was expressed to
me lest collision of races extended and disastrous,
and involving with the fate Of the coored people that
of Union men in sympathy with them, should grow
cut Of the impulse given by the recent outbreak.
To prevent the possibility of this directed the post
commandment to assume the maintenance of public Or
DER to place guards at the headquarters of the fire
companies, to prohibit outdoor assemblies after night
fall to suspend the entire police force and reappoint
only such as were known to be trustworthy, and to
summarily punish all disturbers of the peace.
For the final suppression of the disorderly element
above referred to- and to give confidence and support
those who have been heretofore the allies of the
Government, l respectfully recommend that the con-
troll of municipal affairs be transferred to persons we'll
known for their continuous loyalty to the United States
have the honor to be, very respectfully, your ODE
dent servant, WAGER SwAYNE, Major Gen.

strongly opposing reconstruction under the military

He is of the opinion that quick and firm opposition
would have produced a reaction at the North which
would have resulted in the repeal of the laws. We
doubt it; and, On the contrary think it would have

GEN LoNGsTREET.-The New York Tribune says
that the presence of Gen. Longstreet among the vice
presidents of meeting in New Orleans addressed by
the Hon. Henry Wilson was highly remarkable. Of
course he is not Radical; but be knows the wisdom
of beray and can be hospitable to free and sincere
speech. There is in the manly act of Gen. Longstree
all encouraging overture toward the recognition of
Northern men and Northern ideas. He may not be-
ieve as we do but the act Itself is practical reccnc
iation, and we applaud it"
