SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LIN- COLN. On the i4th day of April, 1965, the joy which filled every patriotic heart, on account of the great victories youchsafed to the Union arms, by which the military power of the Tebellion as annihilated, was suddenly merged in grief and horror at the astounding intelligence that our great and good President, AnRAHAM LIN- COLN, bad been foully assassinated, at the very moment when his heart was filled with mercy and loving kindness towards those who had so lately sought to destroy the Government, None who witnessed the effect of that intelli- gence on the loyal millions of the nation can ever forget the gloom which covered the land, as with & pall, snd the spontaneous manifesta- tions of respect and affection to the martyred patriot which were exhibited on every hand Every recurrence of a day so memorable in | the Nation's annals, should awaken in all American hearts holy memories of the public | Worth and private virtues of the illustrious ead, and resolves to imitate him, not only in bis stern and unflinching patriotism, bat in the engaging qualiues of child-like simplicity, and faith im the triamph of right, which char- acterized Bim, and made lim the object of the tender love and reverence of the American people. But his fame rests not with this coun- try or age. In every country and in ail times whenever and wherever the everlasting strug- gle between right and wrong. good and evil, ireedomand tyranny goes on, there will the name of the pure patriot and good man, ABR4- HAM LINCOLN, be held in respect. as the ex- ponent of republican principles, and the cham- sore- FREEDMEN’S SCHUOL REPORT. persovs who wish | Mead and Root Beer will please | to my drivers. or leave them at the office, | O'clock m., at Far: BALE) ousE fat et going Pata) 5 Old ‘Stand 350 BF owners Gnd 10th.

THE WAY IT WORKS. Notwithstanding the fact that there is great need of labor throughout the country, North as well as South, and that extra inducements are held out to the swarm of contrabands now at the seat of Government to employ them- selves at good wages, yetit is with great diffi- eulty that they can be prevailed upon to ac- cept the offers made for their services. They prefer to loaf about Washington, trusting to the chance of being supported by Uncle Sam; but mainly, as jate evidence has shown, with the idea that Congress will speedily give them the right of suffrage in this District, whereby they expect to derive some great advantages and be placed above the necessity of earning their bread by the sweat of their brow. This idea, however acquired, is fully fixed in their minds, and no efforts of even the Government agents, in whose word they have confidence, are able to dispel it. We have no doubt that the fact that Congress has held out the prom- ise of negro suffrage has caused thousands of negroes to resort to this District and remain here in idleness, acquiring vagabond habits, and in hundreds of instances resorting to theft, burglary, arson, and similar crimes. Should Congress pass the suffrage bill, this District promises to be the Botany Bay of idle, vicious darkey -dom. EXHUMING THE UNION DEAD. Captain J. R. Hynes, who ‘s working under the direction of Col. M. I. Ludington, Quarter- master, Department of Washington, has been engaged for the last three months in removing the remains of the Union soldiers from the dif- ferent parts of Virginia to the National Ceme- terday at Arlington, and has identified and re- moved to Arlington about 1,600 bodies. in the neighborhood of 200 graves have been reported to Colonel Ludington, which are seat- tered around Darnestown, Rockville, and Poolesyille, Maryland, where men were buried who died of wounds at the houses of citizens in the vicinity of the different battle-tleids Capt. Hynes’ force will soon commence the re. moval of them, either to Arlington or to the nearest Cemetery. Itis believed that very few of the remains of our gillant soldiers will lie neglected upon the fields if every person, who knows where one or more bodies were buried, will communicate to Colonel Ludington all the facts conerrning their burial in their possession. COLOBED LABOBERS SUPPLIED. Communications to the Assistant Commis. sioner of the Freedmey’s Bureau in this dis- trict continue to arrive requesting him to aid the writers in making contracts with the treed people who haye assembled in Washington and its vicinity to labor on farms and planta- tions in the South and Southwest. The efforts of the Assistant Commissioner to satisfy these demands for labor haye been eminently suc- cessful, although the demand is yet largely in cess of the supply. Yesterday, upwards of four hundred freed people living iu and aear Alexandria, Va., were engaged by contracts, through the instrumentality of the Burean, to go to distant points. RECORDS DESTROYED, Dr. W. A. Spence, who was surgeon of the post hospital at Richmond, Va., during the re- bellion, states in reply to the inquiry made by the Government authorities whether he could furnish any information concerning the Union dead buried near Richmond, that he had in- duced the undertaker to keep a record of all the Federal soldiers that were buried, and to mark their graves, but the object sought was frustrated by the destruction of the records in the great fire that occurred on the evacuation of the city. SS FORTS DISMANTLED, The work of dismanuing Forts Stanton, Uar- roll, Slocum, Lincoln, Totten, Stevens, Reno and Sumner was completed yesterday, under the supervision of General Haskin. The ord- nance and ordnance stores were turned in to the proper authorities, the buildings will be sold auction, and the Jand turned over to the owners. WHITE HOUSE. In respect to the memory of the late President Lincoln, the President did not re- ceive any visitors to-day, and the offices of the Executive Mansion were closed. The Secre- lary of the Treasury and Assistant Postmaster General were in conference with the President for ashort time this morning, and Mr. Ray- mond, of N. Y., called later in the day. RELEASED.

ASSESSMENT TO COMMENCE.—Tae Commis. sioner of Internal Revenue to-day informed ‘sse=sor~ of internal revenue, by circular, that blanks No. 24 and 241, for the annual taxes for 1886, were being printed and distributed as rapidly possible, and instructed them to commence the ann Assessment aS SOOR As the blanks are recei sere. XXXIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION. SATURDAY, April 14. THE SENATE was not in session to-day. Hovx®.—After prayer by the chaplain, the reading of the jgarnal was dispensed with, Mr. Gartield, of Ohio, moved that the House co now adjourn. Ina few brief and slog sentences he alluded to this day as the versary of the death of President Lincoln, and dweltin happy terms upon the lofty mission and tragic end of the martyr President. And the House accordingly adjourned. oe TELEGRAPHIO NEWS, FENIAN NEWS. —+ LATER FROM THE FBONTIEB, sl The First Fight on the Border Victorious !!!—British Dri the Line! ish Eatront, Mr., April 14.—The British man- of-war Pylades went to sea very suddenly yesterday afternoon.

All was on weil, amd the conpie enjoy- ing the festivities of the even: when an en- Sete dpe og whe works on same floor with young lady, stepped mp to one of the managers and inquired whether ladies were Sdmitted to that ball room who were ‘no bet- ter than they ougbt to be.” An explanation ensued, and the manager's attention was di- Tected to the couple then actively and happily engaged in terpsichoreran exercises, when he immediately checked their evolutions, called the gentleman aside, and proceeded te re- monstrate with him on the impropriety of bringing & young lady to that entertaimment whose morals were calied in question. No ex- planation ensued this time, but the bookbinder’s stalwart right arm was seen to make two rapid movements, one to the rear and one “straight out,” and a floor manager was floored, and the dance went on. Now for the sequel. Our champion not sat- istied with the partial justice achieved by his prompt action in resenung what he considered an imsult, determined not to rest until he had taken vengeance on the author of the offensive statement and cleared the fame of his fair companion. With this object in view he traced the rumor to his fellow workman, and yester- day morning, armed with a cowhide and the justice of his cause, descended from his room on the third floor of the (;overnment establish- ment to the first floor, where the pressman, “unconscious of impending evil,” was at work, and astounded that individual by a swift series een and cutting.” The ayenger's d his wrath appeased, he left the he air of aman conscious of hay- ing done his duty. 7 P.S.—This morning, the book-binder, while passing through the room in which the press- man is employed, received two beavy blows (from the fist of the latter individual) on his face, which made him “see stars,” and renders the spplication of leaches necessary before he is presentable. -_ Tux Great RaiLrvav Sacre at ALEXAN- pria.—On Thursday.
