lie has not tailed, under the most try
ittf circumstances, to enforce the laws,
to preserve peace and order, to encour
age the restoration of ciril authority,
and to promote, as far as possible,
spirit of reconciliation.' Ilia adminis
tration of the Department of the
Cumberland will certainly compare
moe4 favorably with that of General
Sheridan, in tho military district.
Tjioo affairs appear to be in a dis
turbed condition, and a bitter spirit
ofattflgor.istn sjems to have resulted
from Geiirral Sheridan's manngeraent.
He has rendered himself exceedingly
obnoxious by the manner in which he
has exercised even the powers confer
red by Congrss, and still moo so by
a resort to authority not granted by
law, nor necessary to it iailhful and
effectual exeeutiou.
'His rule has, in fact, been ono of
absolute tyranny, without reference
to tho principles of our Government,
ornaturo of our freo institutions.
The state of affairs which has resulted
from the course ho hAs pursued has
serious) interfered with a harmonious,
satisfactory and speedy execution of
the acts of Congress, and is alono suffi
cient to justify a chongo. His remov
al, theroiore, can not bo regarded as an
offort to defeat tho laws of Congress,
for the object is to facilitate their exe
cution, through an ofllcer who has
never tailed to obey the law and to
exact within his jurisdiction a like
obedience from others. It can not be
lutcrprctated by the unreconstructed
element of tho South, 'those who did
all they could to break up thin govern-
meut by arms, and now wish to bo the
only clemonl consulted as to the i.ieth
od of restoring order, as a triumph,'
lor, as intelligent men, they must
know thut the mero change of military
commai.dcrs can not alter the law, and
that Gen. Tomas wnl be as much
bound ly its ruircinVuts us General
Sheridan. It c-un not embolden them
to roiiowcd opposition to tlio will o:
the loyal musses, believing that they
have tho executive with them,' for
they are perfectly familiar with tho
antecedents of tho President, and know
lhat ho has not obstructed tho luith-
iul execution of any eft ho laws of Con-
t-roaa .

to tho whole country as a gallant, able
and patriotic soldier, and will, 1 havo
no doubt, sustain his high reputation
in any position to which he may bo as
signed, e you observe, tho Depart
ment which he will have is a complica
ted one. I feel confident that undei

nity afforded by the Indian trouble

Sheridan should not be removed irom
his present commucd, you remark
thut 'this is a Republic,' based, how
ever, upon a written Constitution.
That Constitution is tho combined und
expressed will of the people, and their
voice is law when reflected in the
manner which that instrument pre
scribes. While ono of its provisions
makes the President Communder-iii
Chief of the army and navy, another
requires that he shall take cure thut
the laws he faithfully executed.
"Beleving that a change in command
in the Fifth Military District is abso
lutely necessary tor the fuithtul exe
eutiou of tho law, I have issued the
order which is the subject of this cor
respondence. In thus exercising a
power that inheres in the Executive,
under tho Constiluliou, ust-ommuuuer-in-Chief
of tho army uud uavy, I am
discharging a duly required of mo by
thi will of tho Nation, us formerly de
clared in the eupiomo law of the land.
By his oath tho Executive is bound, to
tho best of bis ability, to preservo,
protect anM defend the Constitution.
Although in tunes of grout excitement
it be lout lo public view, its his duty,
without regard to consequences to
himself, to hold sacred and enlbrco nil
or any of its provisona. Any other
course would leud to the destruction
the Republic, for the Constitution once
abolished there would bo uo Congress
for the exercise of legislative powers;
no Executive to see that the btws tiro

J. Wilkes Booth.
of
Although it has been frequent'v a.
serted that John Wilkes Booth, the
murderer of Trcsidcn Lincoln, is alive;
yet but few have ever given creuenco
to the story. Recently the papers
have been filled with accounts of per
sons having seen him, and some proba
bility oi bis being alive isbegimngto
be entertained. On this question a
Washington correspondent of tho Cin
cinnati Enquirer writes as follows :
Thero aro many persons in Washing-
ington who have always believed that
John Wilkes Booth, is alivo in a foreign
country. At tho time of his protended
murdv-r in a barn, by Sergeant Boston
Corbott, the notorious Lafayette S.
Baker was at tho height of power. Ho

who w6uld commit any crime for a few
dollars. An immense reward was f
furcd for Booth dead or alive, und Ba
ker acterimnod to socuro it. It was
easy, with the instruments that he hud
to work with, to pass off a ficticious
corpso as that ot Booth's. It was easy
with the instruments ho had work
with, to gtt a corpse which should some
what resemble Booth. Stanton might
have been decioved. lie might have
supposed that tho .bogus corpso was
that ot Booth. But certain it is thut
he took tfcclive measures to prevent
the identification of Booth's alleged
body. Not only were all Booth's old
associates excluded and the pnblic pro
ventod turn teeing tbc corpso, but the
latter wne destroyed by a chemical
procest, ss thut no vestige of it now
romuins. Ualtcr only object wus to
got '.jo offered reward, anl ho sue
cceded.
But how did Booth escape? Easy
enough. Ho was a cool, determined
rosoluto man, and bad laid all his p'auB
before baud. Uo aas an actor und
consumatu ono. No' one kuows how
he escaped. But what is more proba
ble than to suppose that after tho mur
dcr he went quietly to so mo room near
by and spent un hour or two ir mak
ing up it moil elaborate disguise; ono
iu which his most hitimute friends
would not know him? Tho next
. , .,! I I
I mornmg.drcssed in this disguise, look-
i ing periecuy
nuturul, but not iu tho
leas; like John Wilkes Booth, ho could
have gone openly to the depot und left
iu the curs for Ballimoro without ex
cising tho leust suspicion. Evorthing
would have depended, of course, on his
disguise ;. but 1 repeat, it wan in his
power to huvo made tins disguise im
penetrable. Or, since it is admitted
on all hands thut be did get away from
Washington, he could have niude his
way to Ballimoro that very night und
there havo ussumed tho disguise and
proceeded North by ruilroud
At all
events, since tho publication of the ro
cent articles in tho Enquirer on tho sub
ject, the interest in the affair has been
revived here, and opinion that John
Wilkes Booth is still alive has grown
into a strcng belief. Thero is only one
single circum-lanco thut militates
against this belief, und that is testU
mony of Dr. May , thut he saw tho
body and knew it to be Booth's. No
doubt Buker took en re that the corpse
should resemble Booth. But on the
other hand there is tho positive lesti
