MIR. LlNCOLN'S ASSASSINATION

An article appeared lately in Pom
eroy's Democrat telling an extraor-
binary story about Wilkes Booth and
his motive for killing Mr.. Lincoln.
The story ran that Booth was devo-
teddy attached TO the Rebel Captain
Beal, who was convicted Of BASTARD
ly crime, and hanged in one Of the
forts at New York that upon learn.
ing that his friend was under sentence
OF death Booth prevailed upon Mr..
Wash Mclean to 90 with him to the
President, and that on the way they
called upon Hon. John W. Forney
and took him along. Booth is then
represented has having besought Mr..
Lincoln On his knees, and with tears
streaming down his cheeks, to spare
him the one man whom he loved
Lincoln, it is said, was touched with
compassion, and gave his worl that
Captain Beal should be pardoncd, but
Secretary Seward after stlenuously
Directing, the President allowed tie
execution to take place. This eXas-
p.rateu Booth, and Jed to the assas-
slnation. Colonel Forney having
been asked what truth there is in the
story, replies, through last Thurs.
day Press, that, so far as he is con-
cerned, it is an utter fabrication; that
lie never saw Booth in his life, and
that the only time he ever Went in
company with Wash Mclean to Sc
cure an executive pardon was in be-
half Of General Roger a. Pryor,whose
release from prison he thus secured
this settles the Pomeroy story efec~
tually.
Another story is that Booth made
desperate efforts to accomplish the as
sassination on the day OF Mr.. Lin
coins second Inauguration, Thus he
had actually made his way through
one line Of policemen ard had nearly
reached the platform where the Pres
ident was, and that officer Westfall Of
the capitol guards after a severe tus
sic pushed him back into the crowd
His purpose was Of course not known
at that time.

THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION,

The great Centennial Exhibition at
Philadelphia will be opened with i'm
posing ceremonies on the 10th Of Hay.
The President of the U. S. will take
a prominent part in the formal open
ing, and the Governors Of Maryland,
Pennsylvania and several other States
will be present with their military
staff. A brilliant display may be ex-
pected but it is probable there will be
no great rush Of visitors from other
places until the Exhibition is more
completely under way.
Not only the religious, but tn,
great mass Of thoughtful people of
the country, we are sure will be glad
to learn that while the Centennial
grounds are to remain open the build.
inss are to be closed on Sunday. This
action of the Commission will be
heartily approved by the best por-
ton of the public. AS a contempt.
rary Justly remarks, to lave made no
distinction. in favor Of the Sabbath in
an exhibition conducted under the
authority Of the nation, would not
simply have done violence to religious
sentiment but would have been a
practical abrogation Of tee day of
rest as acivil institution. There vii!
be plenty of decentralization in con-
nec.ion with the Exhibition without
the deliberate dissertation Of the Sab,
bath,

LEGISLATIVE BRIBERY.

While the fifteen investigating COM
mittees in Washington are busy fer
reting out all sorts of dark transac-
tons which don't seem. to amount to
much after all, the members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature have been
going through very exciting
investigation as to how many
of their nun bsr have been
made about $500 apiece richer in
connection with a certain boom bill.
Peter Herdic is head of a company
which has a boom across the Susque-
hannah at WiIliamsport. This boom
catchos all the logs that come down
the river, for which the owners are
charged Sl.25 per thousand under a
former law. The lumbermen dubbed
together to secure an act cutting down
tie boo t,ll to Il. Tic VII passed
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1876-05-05

the Senate on its merits but in the
House appears to have excited per-
feet carnival of corruption. Herdlc s
agents bought votes to defeat the bill
and the agent of the lumber men it is
said paid out $4,000 in buying votes
to pass it. The latter triumphed and
there was yell of fraud and bribery
Thereupon the house determined in a
hasty virtuous fit, to investigate,
and see which Of its members
had been corrupted. The bill
which had passed was also recalled
from the Senate. Herdic and the 9TH
err agent both decamped to avoid tes-
tifyiug. Most of the members cleared
their skirts, but testilying they had
heard a great deal Of loose talk about
buying votes at $500 apiece. The
report of the investigating committee
only brought actual bribery down to
three members and they stoutIy pro-
test their innocence. There will not
likely be any explosions Of members.
Under the new constitution Of Pa, it
as thought legislative bri cry was
efectually squelched, but the power
of blooms was lot sufficiently taken
into account.
