). WILK IS BOOTH

ABSURD STORIES ABOUT HIS RRMAINs-
| THE TRUE STORY. ~ baa
A number of absurd stories are going
the rounds of the press as to the DISPOSE
tlon OF the remains of ]. Wilkes Booth.
| Inc latest is by Captain Oliver P. Leslie,
Oh Pittsburg, who states the body was
sunk In lake seven miles below Alex-
dria, va. The incontrovertible facts are
as follows: The remains were ordered to
be delivered to the friends of Booth by
PRESIDENT Andrew johnson, John III.
Weaver, the undertaken of this city, was
sent to Washington by his family to bring
them here tor interment. A box was ia
ken up from the arsenal building and de-
llvered to him. 1t was brought by him
te baltimore, and was examined BY him
and reporter of the Gazette at his room
on West Fayette street, near Holiday.
They found in it skeleton wrapped in
an old army blanket. When the blank
ct was taken off the skeleton was cover
cd with powder having the appearance
OF soapstone, and on being rubbed be-
tween the fingers it disappeared Just as
soapstone will do. On the right foot was
an army shoe, cut open at the top its en-
tire length, as if to accommodate swoI-
len foot. On the other was large cav
airy boot The reporter of the Gazette
examined the bones in and above the
shoe, and for some time could find no in
jury. Believing the remains to be those
OF Booth. the reporter made a persistent
examination and at last discovered the
leg was fractured clean through lust
above the ankle. The fracture was clear
ly marked, and the portion below the
fracture being lifted out of the box the
ends OF the bones were of pure white
ness, leaving no doubt as to the fact that
Booth in leaping from the box had frac-
tured his right leg and not sprained it,
Still the identity of the remains were not
satisfactorily established, especially as
there was no portion of the spinal verte
br8 missing and no mark of any bullet
upon them. A brother of Booths was
sent for, whogas told by Mr.. Weaver of
the doubts ast0 the identity of his re-
mains, and Mr.. Weaver requested him to
think of some popularity, if any existed,
IN the structure of his brother that would
forever remove amy doubt. After think
ing for q abfdeE Eiwhiie the brother said all
that he could rennember was that his
brother had his tooth plugged with gold
in peculiar manner. He described the
location of the tooth, and drew with a
pencil the shape of the plug, which was
Of unusual size. The teeth were taken
out, and the tooth was found plugged
Just as described byftlie brother and for
ever setting at rest angnquestion of the
Identity of the remains. The remains
we're buried in Greenmount cemetery, in
,he same lot with his grandfather, father,
and other childreH d. The family.

CLUSTERS TOMB.

The Americans are monument-build-
ing people; but they are sometimes
strangely insensible to the beauty OF
monuments built by natural events. We
pile up Bunker Hill obelisks and Wash
ingtSn columns, and yet, perhaps, take
little note of the spots made sacred by
the heroic dust of the great departed.
This has been brought to mind by the
proposition to dig up the bodies of Gus
ter and his men and bring them home to
their friends for burial. This is the
most revolving suggestion of vandalism.
There is something sacred in the grave of
soldier buried where he falls. But
where that spot, as in this instance, has
become historical, to be remembered for
ever like Bunker Hill, or Gettysburg or
Fredericksburg, then the spot itself be-
comes a monument imperishable, elo-
quent, touching, hallowed.
Where these men fell fighting hopeless
ly to the last, is now holy ground, and
should not be desecrated, Hereafter
some sculptor may chisel out of the cliff
that overlooks the gorge a great stone
device or memorial of some sort like
Thorwalsden's lion but no tombstone,
no paltry inscriptions, nor shaft, nor any
commonplace thing to mar the poetic
and sanctity of the scene.
Where the dark cliff frowns, and the
bright river runs and the sweet grass
springs, let the braye;boys lie, as they fell,
together. No smQnument could add to
to the glery of itheir grayes.-Baltimore

POLITICAL.

Gen. Tom Ewing continues to argue in
favor of another tussle in Ohio on the
same old imitation platform, he wants the
greenback preserved and the silver dollar
mace legal tender. As for success he
is sure oft, for three fourths of the peo-
pie of the State agree with him.
T. T. Allan, the republican member
of the board of Louisiana State canvas
sers organized under a new law, denies
the report that the recanvass by the
board OF the vote of certain parishes has
anything to do with aiding Mr.. Tilden
to make new contest for the presi-
dency.
Gov. Lindsay, of Alabama, gives his
reasons for saying that the revival of the
old wh:g party is neither possible nor de-
sirable, First, there is no body Of whigs,
to be appealed to, and secondly, the
members of the old whig party are now
the leaders of the democratic party, and
would not relinquish its honors and
emoluments for new adventure.

Considerable sensation has been created
throughout England by the arrest Of three of
the bcst-known detectives Of the LONDON police
force. Their names arc Druscovich. MCKEE
lohn, and Palmer. The former of them had
quite n European celebrity. and England
thought herself safe as long as she had men
like Col. Henderson and Inspector Druscovitch
to take care Of her. 1t turns out, however. that
those detective celebrities and solicitor Of the

to dofraud Nine. de Goucourt out OF a sum OF
$4,000. This lady fell into the hands OF small

tablished Church must go with them & We
must say that we find no such evidences of
secretive instinct in this country. But
supposing the London Times to be correct,
how striking tho contrast is between the
advocates OF private confession there and
here, The SUNS reports will show. Here
these advocates have the courage Of convic-
ton, unrcstraincd in the irankncss Of its ut
tcranccs by any fear Of harming "a political
church establishment. And among the OPP
poncnts Of the confessional we observe
difference rs striking in the two countries;
for here their Consciousness ~ possessing
an overwhelming majority against the CON
fcssional seems to save them from the need
Of dcnouncing it with anything like the
English fury.
We shall, accordingly, look to see the prac-
ticc OF private confession and dissolution
grow more slowly in the Protestant Episco-
pal Church uf America than in that of Eng
Land. There the bitterness Of denunciation
and the threats against priests and peni-
tents will very likely help to extend the
confessional, since that is the way that such
things usually work. Here, however, the
private confessional seems to have attracted
little attention and less hostility-it has
been largely left as matter OF individual dis
erection. We should judge from our reports
that those of the clergy who approve IL are
not anxious ~ prosclyto the Church on the
subject; and yet, If private confession be
viewed simply as a privilege Of the parish
Toner. to be used or not as he may think best,
only pccular and exceptional tcmpcramcuts
are likely to resort to It, The great body Of
American Epscopalians would instinctvcLy
shrink from any such system; and IL seems
to us that IT is n consciousness Of this fact
which has caused them to leave the confess
sional here to take care OF itself, aud stand
or fall as the case may lie.

The Protestant Confessional.

In another column will be found the second
installmcnt Of the facts and opinions gain
cred 10y one Of our reporters In regard to
the Introduction, or, as its friends prefer 10
say, the revival, Of private confession and
dissolution in the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
We now, accordingly, possess sufficient
testimony to draw some general conclusions
on this subject, which is certainly one of
much interest. We find, to begin WITH that
private confession TO clergymen with a view
10 penancc aud a1solution, has taken firm
hold on the American Episcopal Church
during the last dozen years. The analogous
experience in England is still more notable,
for the Bishop of London said with regret IN
Convocation, the other day, that there
were indications Of Il widespread system
OF Confession
That point being clear, we next find that
private confession Is limited in the diocese
Of New York TO a few parishes say, six or
eight and. furthermore that it is unknown
III the neighburng diocese of Long island
II is doubtless practiscd in one or two par
ishes Of Boston, and one, at least, of Phila-
delphia but taking the country through, T. is
exceptional among the Episcopal churches.
But II would be- a very great IN stake to sup
pose that private confession and ahsuuton
are confined to the ritua.istic party or to the
rltualistic parishes.
As to "Thc Priest in Absoluton." the book
which gave rise to the discussion, We must
candidly admit that in this country it has
little to do with the Protestant confessional,
because il Is clear that very few copies ever
found their Way litlrr and that these i,,y
