BOOTHS DIARY-so CALLED.

The New York FreemGn's Journal, which is
conspicuous among the ablest and most out
spoken papers in the country, thus passes corn-
ment on the so-called 'Booth's Diary" lately
put before the public by Holt and Stanton, the
chief murderers of the innocent Mrs. SuFratts
We give what PROCESSES to be i" certified
copy of Booths Diary, as found ON his per-
son. Some, who profess to have seen parts of
the original, have published that the "cOpy" i8
a made up thing, and Imutiated at that One
man declares that letter to pbysiciaD, which
is given as part of the diary, was q detached
memorandum, and that it was addressed to q
DR.. Stewart, and signed "a stranger" and con-
tanned a passage purpOrting, in the g certified
copy" to have been torn out" In the seer
titled copy" the letter is made to read as if ad-
dressed to DR.. Mudd. s, I'D
But /" certified copies won't do, while the
original is within reach Nor can any faith be
put in the acts of the willing cOnfederates 0f
the convicted perjurer COnoyer Stanton and
Holt may swear till they are as black in tho
face as they are at heart-we can not trust
anything they say. p
The more probable opinion is that Wilkes
Booth was the man that shot Lincoln in the
low theatre on Good Friday night, and that he
was himself shot and killed, afterwards, as az
legged. But the fact remains that there is no
judicial proof of this, nor is the evidence con-
elusive A play-actress of unenyiable nOter-
Laura Keene-was the only one, ON the night
Lincoln was shot, that prOtessed to recognize
Booth. She was known as his vindictive enc
my. An accusation, at such moment, was
almost death-Warrant against the man she
hated Some weeks later a dead body WaB
carried into Washington An immense reward
had been offered for the capture, dead or alive,
of the assassin. The forms of law were mo-
where observed. No cOrOner's jury, anywhere,
was called. The body was not exposed for
Identification. 1t was disposed of, the public
did not know how. We declare, were we ON
oath as a juryman in any case where grave
issue OF law, affecting property or person, de-
pended on ascertaining either that Booth killed
Lincoln, or that Booth is not living from all
that has been given to the public we would he
a periured juror were we to find either of those
two facts as proved.
And, III regard to all those prosecutions for
Lincoln's murder, there is horrible mystery
hanging over the matter. We believe it abr
surd to implicate President johnson in the
murder; but not so absurd as it was to charge
Mr. Jefferson Davis with any knowledge 0r
approval of it. We believe it altogether alb
surd, nevertheless, to suppose Andrew john
son had anything to do with it; but what is
that fatal mystery connected with that series
of tragedies that has given Stanton and HOlt
as complete power over Andrew johnson, ae
if they had a slip-knOt round his neck, and
held the end of the roper That there is a
mystery about this is palpable, and the most
clear to those that examine it most. Will it
ever be solyed2 Probably not

The Bridge Rond..

The proposition of the County Commission.
srs to Issue county bonds to build bridges
across the NeOsho and Cottonwood, at this
place, vas defeated by = large majority on
Monday last. This does not Surp rise any one
We felt from the first that IhiS would be
the result. Even In EmpOria, out of 243 votes
she bonds only had 8 majority Of forty. This
was nSt brought about because the people did
not feel the necessity of the bridges, but be-
cause Of their present heavy taxes, and the
prospect Of . depression j n money matters.
In nearly all the districts the people are build
ing school houses, for which they have voted
heavy taxes upoa themselves, an l thea We now
have on band the county buildings. Under
these circumstances the people thought it IN
wise to create . new debt Of $50 900, and We
are not sure but they are about right, not with
standing we we're of the opinion that the bond :
had better be issued. There was no effort
made to carry the proposition. When the
proper time Gomez; when we get our Sehov |
houses and county buildings paid for, thea the
people will be in faVornf building bridges
enough to acc ,mmOdAts the county, and paying
for them as they GO.
