TIE ANNIVERSARY OF LINCoLN's ASSASSIN.
ATIoN.-Four years ago to-day John Wilke;
Booth, the tragedian, as he may well be call
ed, brought to an end the career of one of the
greatest and purest men that America has
produced Four year ago tomorrow our good
President died The days that have passed
since the tragedy have healed with wonderful
speed the wounds of the nation. Lincoln is
not forgotten, nor even remembered with that
calm and unimpassioned interest that attaches
to the recollection of less lovable men, but the
great void that seemed to have been left by his
decease no longer exists or is not felt to exist
The feeling of hopelessness and Of an inability
TO 90 on with the work of the world that fol-
lowed the 14th of April, 1866, has long since
disappeared, but deep veneration for the mar
-tyred President, mingled with feeling of per-
sonal bereavement, this generation will always
cherish. =
The most singular occurrence of the four
years that have passed since the assassination
is the leniency with which the great criminals
who murdered Lincoln have been treated. The
FIRST outburst of wrath resulted in the execu-
ton of Booth, Payne, Mrs. Surratt, Atzerodt
and Harold. But not only has jefferson Da'
Wis, the prime mover in the events that led to
the assassination, been released, but immedi-
ate actors and accessories in the murder, like
DR. Mudd, Arnold and Spangler have been re-
leased. The humane spirit of the last official
words of President Lincoln has pervaded al
most every act of the government since his
death, and the time is rapidly approaching
when charity for all his political and personal
foss will not only be felt but exercised.

An Exciting Scene ne the white House.
GEN. GRANT DRIVES BORE OUT OF DOORS
The New York Heraad's Washington dis
patch gives an account Of an interview be-
tween Senator Ross and President Grant
touching Kansas appointments:
Mr.. Ross said, 81 come, Mr.. President, to
talk with you about the appointments for my
State, having heard you intend to make certain
nominations that may not harmonize with my
desires, If you deem IL worth while to consult
them in the least to which Grant laconicaiiy
and interrogatively responded, "Weli, SIR
This Presidential response was not IN the
exact manner TO be relished by the hansaA
Senator.
aAm 10 understand that am rightly in
formed as 10 vour stated intentions 20 disre-
card NV preferences in the matter OF appoint
inents Mr.. PresidentY inquired the Senator.
ssTl,at r. A question hardly susceptible of an
answer. sir. To what appointments do you al
indie? Inform me, and then 1 can reply" re-
Senator Ross liked the second answer as lit
tie as the first, but having come for enlighten-
ment. be was determined not to 60 away in
the fog. He therefore, with suppressed rage
explained the appointments to which he had
reference
Frankly, sir" said Grant, 81 int nd not 10
make these appointments
What sirl you scorn to accommodate me
in the least?" exclaimed Ross, boiling over will
rage.
"Sir, L believe have given you my answer,
| firmly but sternly replied Grant.
This is not treating me fairly, Mr.. Presi
| den, nor as one gentleman should another,
| uttered Senator Ross.
Il have no intention to be dictated to, sir,
1 said Grant, sharply.
"NOr have / to be insulted even by you, sir
were you twenty times the President, ex
claimed Ross, with his ire stirred up to WHIT
heat. ,
Il must decline to be annoyed any furthe
i on the subject" muttered Grant between hi
teeth, "and desire the interview should termi
| nate 49,
iYou and your desires may go to hell!' roar
| ed out Ross.
Leave the room, sir, leave the room, or
| shall force you out" Numbered Grant.
Ross took his departure accordingly in a ter
rible rage, quitting the White House like on
rushing from a plague and hurried to tn
capitol
President Grant threw himself into chat
the moment the door closed, and wiped hi
brow with his pocket handkerchief, evidentl
much agitated.
Zach Chandler approached, and was thus ad
dressed by the President, Excuse me for a fe'
moments, Senator. After that interview
must take a little time to cool of. ]"

The loss by the fire of Monday evening to

Social ScRNcK.-Pursuant to call for q
meeting Of those interested in the formation Of
State Social Science Association, consider
able number of the earnest friends of the
movement assembled yesterday afternoon for
the purpose Of completing the organization Of
such society. The meeting was presided over
by the Hon. L. d. NJ Sweat. Hon. G.. f.
Talbot recapitulated the proceedings of preyi-
Gus meetings, and presented the report of the
committee appointed to obtain signatures TO
the constitution. 1t appeared that more than
the requisite one hundred names had been Sc
cured, and the committee expressed much sat-
isfaction at the evidences of an intelligent and
active interest in thel movement which they
had encountered Letters were also read from
prominent gentlemen in different parts Of the
State to whom the prospectus of the proposed
society bad been sent, expressing hearty inter-
est in the movement, and promising 60 opera
ton. Among those who have responded in the
most gratifying manner to the invitation to
cooperate in this work, are President Harris,
of Bowdoin, Judge Dickerson and G. Palfrey,
Esq, of Belfast, DR.. Amos Nourse, of Bath,
President Champlin, of Colby University, and
Others Lists of subscribers have been receiv-
ed from Bath, Belfast Lewiston, Thomaston,
and other towns.
The chairman made brief address, in which
he congratulated the friends of the movement
upon their suspicious beginning, and express
ed his surprise and qualification that there
should have been found SO large number in
| community like ours who were willing to
turn aside from the busy pursuits which in the
| main so absorb them, to consider the subjects
| which affect the higher well-being of society.
He thought the result of the preliminary can
vass in high degree cheering.
At the conclusion of the chairman's remarks
there was a free discussion upon the propriety
of proceeding to complete the organization
Mr.. Talbot explained that the movement,
which it had at first been designed to conflne
60 our own city, and to somewhat narrow
range, had-in consequence of the unexpected
interest acknowledgement it's original mod
est limits, and promised to assume more i'm
portant proportions. 1t was therefore thought
| that the organization should proceed with de-
liberation; and, in view of the fact that the
notice of this meeting had failed to reach many
for whom it was intended, it was finally pro-
posed that a committee be appointed to pre-
pare plan of organi 2ation, with the names OF
officers, and to report the same at meeting to
be called by them as soon as their plan should
be completed. A motion to this effect was
unanimously agreed to, and Messrs g. F, Tai
bot, E, O. Bolles, l. Washburn, Jr., ohm Neal
and A. P. Stone were appointed such a COM
mittee. The meeting then adjourned to
meet again at the call of this committee.
