betray them into the hands of their enemies.
It is not an enviable character in which to
appear before the public; yet Mrs. jerks
does not shrink from it, but rather courts
the distinction and takes up her part with
smile.
Mrs. Jenks' testimony reveals fully the
line of defense to be adopted by Sherman
that the letter was forged. This is rendered
conclusive from the fact that ever since her
arrival in Washington she has been in con-
slant communication with Sherman, Hayes
and Matthews, either personally or through
counsel. But it will take more than Mrs.
jerks unsupported testimony to convince
the public of the truth of the plea, espe-
cially as she persists in concealing the cir
cumstances that might lend an air of proba-
bilitY to her statement. Mr.. Sherman must
get more proof of forgery. This he can
only do by producing the letter which he has
treasured in 'sthe archives to which Mrs
jerks refers.

REMOVAL OF HEADQUARTERS 10
FORT SMELLING,


For year or two there have been occa-
sionai rumors that the army headquarters in
this city, were to be transferred to Fort
Smelling. With the passage of the army
bill by the last session of Con-
gress the rumor seems likely to be-
come reality, and an order for the
transfer was received in st. Paul from the
war department on Saturday. Though an
effort will be made to prevent this transfer
it is hardly likely to be successful.
Socially and SO far as local business inter
ests are concerned, this change is greatly to
be regretted. It will be regretted by our
citizens more than by the officers whom it
so directly concerns. At the same
time it must be granted that the
transfer is based upon sound business prin-
ciples- principles which would animate a
man in conducting his private business. It
is an advantage to st. Paul business, and it
is especially pleasant, socially, to have the
military headquarters in the city, but every
one knows that an individual would not pay
rents for city property while he held prop
erty which would accommodate his business
equally we'll, only six miles away
Neither is it a niggardly economy on the
part of the government. The object Of
military posts is largely for army head
quarters, and there is no good reason why
the public should be taxed to maintain these
posts, and at the same time taxed to provide
other and still more expensive quarters.

Booths Letter. to the "Intelligencer' and
Hoav it ecas Destroyed.
Louisville Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Mr.. John T. Ford in his statement of the
assassination of President Lincoln, does not
tell the whole story. The package containing
the statement of John Wilkes Booth de-
ivered to John F. Coyle, then editor Of the
National IntelNgencer, but it was never opened,
but was destroyed in the presence of very
distinguished company.
An eyewitness relates that on the night Of
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln a private din
ner party was in progress IN a back room at
Wormley's restaurant, in Washington, at which
were present General Baird, Robert Johnson,
Hon. Samuel Randall, John Morrissey, John F..
Coyle editor of the National zntelligezcer), and
one other gentleman.
During the progress of the dinner waiter
who had been out on the street, returned and
stated that the President had been shot at
Fords theater.
The news created great CONSERVATION in the
party, who at first thought the waiter was
drunk or crazy. Later on, when they were as
snred that it fact, and that John Wilkes
with blanched features and trembling lips,
said: "My God, gentlemen, this very day
met John Wilkes Booth in the market space.
He was on bay mare, and rode up to and
handed me sealed envelope, saying, as he did
so: If you hear of me in twentyfour hours
publish this. If you do not hear of me in that
time destroy this, and rode away. Here is the
package" said Mr.. Coyle, producing a large
envelope from his pocket. What shall I do
with it?''

said Sam Randall; ''they will hang anybody
who knows anything about the assassination,
no matter how innocently they may have come
by their knowledge. Don't open it; burn it up
just as it is

The doors were carefully locked, q FIRE made
in the CRATE, and the mysterious envelope and
its contents were carefully burned. Even the
ashes were carefully collected and placed in a

are made to feel that they are welcome
guests, for whom nothing is too good-and
as st. Paul is large city, and the stay has

mitted. But of the generous hospitality OF
the citizens I must say few words. Public
hacks were not sent to the hotel for the visi-

but the business men of the city came wish
their private carriages and did the driving
themselves, giving up the entire day to the

The German printers of st. Paul have
given one of the happiest illustrations of the
absurdity of labor unions on record The pub
fishers of the Volksaeittng, it appears, pro-
posed to their compositors to accept, tempo
rarily, a reduction of wages. The printers
were willing, personally, to accept the terms,
but could not do so without the consent of
the National Topographic. The reduction
was accordingly made, and then permission
was asked of the National Topographic to
ratify the contract. On Saturday telegram
came from New York notifying the German
printers of St. Paul that they must not work
at the] reduced price, and strike was ac-
cordlngly ordered. The manager of the
paper then acceeded to the terms, and agreed
to pay the old rate, when the strikers made
the additional condition that the manager
should give them written agreement that
none of them should be discharged for six
months for having participated in the strike.
Of course such request was refused, and
hence the strike continues. It will appear
to the average reader ridiculous fora St. Paul
mechanic to telegraph to New York to as
certain what price he shall charge
for his labor. To the ordinary
mind it would seem that the man
in St. Paul is better able to regulate
| his own business than the New Yorker.
There are, perhaps, members of the St. Paul
Topographic who would be glad to work
either at the reduced pay or at the old pay
without the six months guarantee, but they
allow themselves to be regulated by others.
