This outrage was followed vy an incident in which the same sentiments were revealed, Frederick Dougiass, remarkable for‘nis intelligence as for his eloquence, and always agreeable in personal rela- tions, whose only olfence is a skin not entirely Cau- casian, was selected by’the President as one of the Commissioners to visit San Domingo, and yet ‘on his return end almost-within sight of the Executive Mansion he was REPRLLED FROM TOE COMMON TABLE of the mail steamer on the Potomac, Where the other Comm#sioners were already seated, and through him'-was the African race insulted and their equal rights denied.

To THE EDITOR OF THR HERALD:— I saw it stated in a Washington paper, upon the presentation of my petition by Hon. John T. Lewis to Congress for payment for my losses sustained in the burning of my tobacco house and contents by the orders of Colonel Conger, who commanded the forces that were endeavoring to capture J, Wilkes Booth and D.C. Harold, in April, 1865, “that it would be recollected that Booth and Harold were concealed in this house, and it had to be burned to capture them,” leaving the inference, it appears to me, that Booth and Harold were concealed in this house by me or somo of my family. If this infer- ence is intended to be made by the editor of said paper there is nothing more erroneous, and to set the matter right and to show that neither I nor any of my family intended in any way to conceal them or was at all apprised or had any suspicion of who these men were, I will make a true statement of the whole transaction from the time that Booth was brought to my house to the time of his being shot by one of the soldiers when the house was on fire. On Monday, the 24th of April, 1865, avout four o’clock P. M., three men rode up to my yard, and when I went out to them I found they were all strangers tome. The one in front introduced him- self as Captain Scott; he then introduced the two | | Others to me—one as Lieutenant Ruggles and the other as his friend, Mr. Boyd. He stated that Mr. Boyd was a wounded Confederate soldier; that he | belonged to the former command of General A, P. Hill, and that he was wounded before Petersburg | just before the close of the war; that he and Lieu- | tenant Ruggles were going (as he expressed it) on a | little scout towards Richmond, and asked me to keep and take care of his friend Boyd until the next Wednesday morning, as he was suffering too much to travel with them, and that they would call for him at that time. As it had always been one principle of my reli- ligion “to entertain strangers, especially any that seemed to be suffering,” { consented that he should remain, and that I would take as good care of him asIcould, I did not promise this because he was a Confederate soldier, but because he seemed to be suffering. I had before this administered to the wants of about twelve wounded federal soldiers, who had been captured and brought to my neigh- borhood in a suffering state, and it was comforting | to my feelings to see the gratitude expressed by | them to me, aud to feel that I had heiped to relieve the wants of some of my fellow creatures. Never shail I forget this circumstance; it is graven d upon my heart. Thia man, whom I and all my fau ily looked upon as Mr. Boyd, a wounded Conf erate soldier, was taken at once into my house; he | supped with my hoi and slept that night in one of my upper rooms, in which my sons, John M. and William H., and two smaller children slept. He breakfasted with my family th remained in the house and yard, most of the time reclining upon the grass in the yurd, my little children being often with him. He had very little to say and seemed to be suffering, we thought, from his wound, After breakfast that morning my eldest | son, John M., rode to a shoemaker's, about one mile from my house, to have his boots repaired, aud while there he met with a gentleman of the neighborhood who had gotten by private means a newspaper from Richmond (there being no mails to our section), and this paper had in it an advertise- ment offering a large reward (150,000, [ think) for the capture of Booth, the murderer of President After my son’s return, and while at the xt morning and containing the advertisement. This man, who was at the table, remarked that he would not have been surprised if $500,000 had been offered, but that he had heard that the man that committed the act had been arrested between Baltimore and Philadelphia and was now in Washington. He having before this told me thathe was a native of Maryland, [ then asked him if he had ever seen the man Booth who was charged with the offence, He said he had seen himonce., He saw him in Richmond about the time of the John Brown raid. I asked him if he was an old or young man; ie said he was rather a young man, Thad never heard of but one Booth as an actor, and thongit it was Mr. Edwin Booth. My younger son, who was a mere youth, remarked, “I wish he ‘would come this way, 8o that | might catch hita and fc" this reward.” He tarned to him and ald, “If he were to come out would you inform against him’ My son, laughing, said he would like to have the money.

He'told them he could not go that night, but that if they wished to go next morning he coul take them. y proposed sleeping in my house that night, but my son objected, as he thought from their excited manner there was something wrong about them. They then proposed sleeping under my front porch; but he told them we had bad dogs, and they snigné be annoyed by them. ‘They then asked if we had not an outhouse in which they could sleep. He told them there was fodder and hay in the tobacco house, and they could. go in there if they liked, They es in there, and after they did'go my two sons, ‘ing heard Harold say “We should like to ee the-horse we saw you riding this evening,” and fearing ‘they might get up in the night and take their horses and go off, my sons concluded to take their blankets and go into a cornhouse, between the to- bacco house and stable, and guard their horses; and my youngest son fearing, as these men were heavily armed, that if they attempted to take the horses they — have great difiiculty and might robably get shot, concluded he would take the Ro to the house and lock the door outside, #0 as to revent them coming out if they wished it. This E the reason why the door was found locked when the officers went to the house. About two o’clock A. M. I was awakened by the violent barking of my dogs. I arose from my bed and went to the window, and I found the house sur- rounded by armed forces. Idrew on my panta- Joons and, without waiting to put on any other dressing, I opencd the door to my end porch, and when I did so three men rushed in and one of them put a pistol to my head and said to me, “Are there not two men in your house *” I said no; that there were two men here last evening; that they went to the woods when you were passing and afterwards returned and got their supper, and I did not know ‘at that time where they were. I had gone from my supper to my sleeping room, and did not know where they had slept. The officer said I was not telling them the truth and called for a rope and said_ they would hang me. Being thus rudely treated I no doubt appeared scared and affrighted. About this time my son, John M., came to the door and said to the oMcers that these men were in the tebacco house, and they put me under guard and carried my son with them to the tobacco house, had the door opened and made him £9 in and try to bring the men out. When he went in he addressed Booth as Mr. Boyd, as the officers sald, and told him there was a large force surrounding the house and he had better sur- render, He ordered my son out and appeared to be drawing a pistol and he ran out. The oficer then Poste og with the men inside for some time, when Harold expressed a wish to surrender, and Booth said to the officer that the man in here wishes to come out. The ofMcer told him to hand his arms to one of them, I believe to my son at the door, and to come out. Booth said the man had no arms; they were all his, and they would not be delivered up. Harold then came out, and Booth refusing to sur- render, Colonel Conger ordered the house fired to force him out, When he gave these orders Booth said to him, on’t destroy the | ay here prop- erty; he is entirely innocent, and does not know wholam.” The house was then fired, after which | Sergeant Corbet shot Booth, and he was brought | out and died in my porch, It was not until after | Booth was shot that we were told who he was; we had no idea that they were the murderers of the President. When the forces passed my house they went to Bowling Green and got Jett, the man who pot Booth to my house, and he told them that he left Booth at my house. When he came here I asked him why he brought that man to my house and left him here as a wounded Confederate soldier, and had brought so much trouble upon me. He sai he wished to get clear of him and left him at the first house he came to after leaving Port Royal; that he had told the officers, when they came to Bowling Green, that he had left him with me as a Confederate soldier, and that I was not apprised who he was. [told him to make that declaration to an officer in my presence. He made it to Lieu- tenant Dougherty, who was the ofcer in command ofthe regular forces, Colonel Conger being a de- tective, but in command, as I understand, of the ex- pedition. These are the facts of the case; thoge in regard to the burning of the barn were learned of my sons, who were present. The subject of the murder of the President having been talked of at church the day before Booth came to my house, I condemned it publicly in unmeasured terms. RICHARD H. GARRETT, WASHINGTON, April 2, 1872, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— 1 have just been reading the articles in this morning’s HERALD about the “House of Refuge,” and was agreeably surprised at the tone which prevaded the letter from a “Protestant,” as gene- rally I have found that both the written and spoken opinion of those differing from us in faith is that the hard-working, zealous priests of the Mother Church teach that lying and stealing are no sins, So I am glad to praise the unusual justice and truth ofa man who says that had those unfor- tunates attended to the teachings of their Church they would not be where they are. That is true, But how many of them are the victims of cruel poverty, sickness and death? Bereft of parents and taken in by kind, but poor and ignorant neigh- bors, with nothing but the seal of baptism on them, | and that mysterious gift of faith which makes the oe of the cross apd the garb of a priest have an effect upon them, and stir within them a feeling okin to that which makes sometimes the most hard- ened criminal weep at the mention of his mother's name! The spirit which prompts Protestants to look after those little victims of poverty and neglect is a beautiful one were it not spoiled by the desire to take from the poor wretches the only thing of value which dying rey had to leave them, fn t faith, to ) which drove zany, & one of them from their native land, where by giving tt up they might have enjoyed peace and comfort on the estates of their Protestant landlords, who thought they too were doing Christ's work by forcing them to re- linquish a faith they objected to. Catholics are do- ing all they can supporting the Protectory to bring those poor children under the teachings of the Church of their fathers, and how far responsi- ble some of the inmates can be for their wickedness may be judged from the fact that one of the Sisters told me a few days ago that they had there eighty children under five years old under their care, Our hearts may well sicken at the prospect of the work to bedone among those unfortunate victims more of circumstances than of crime.

On Saturday, 25th ult., at four P. M., eight men (strangers) surrounded my house in Tremont, Westchester county, and de, manded admittance. No one being at home but my wife, she became alarmed and rushed to the door to ascertain the cause of so much violence, when they forcibly entered, violently pushing her back Into the hall.

Lady Playfair, widow of Sir Hugh Lyon Playfair, for Many years Provost of St. Andrews, Scotland, has Just died there from the dll effects of an accident. Her Ladyship was in her usual health and out oftown two days previous to her decease, and after her re- turn home was proceeding to her storeroom, When ascending a fight of steps she lost hold of the hand rail and fell backwards, cutting her head very severely. She was conveyed to her room and medi- aid summoned, but she never recovered con- sciousness, and, after bs ta 3 about thirty-six hours, expired, fn her seventy-third year, She was much beloved for her quiet, unassuming manuers and unostentatious generosity. In her death almost the last link has been severed which bound the peopie of St. Andrews with its great and long-remembered Provost and reformer, the late Sir H. L. Playfair. The Landlady of “Brig o’ Turk Inn.” Mrs. Ferguson, landlady of the “Brig o* Turk Inn,” Scotiand, and well and favorably known to all tourists in the land of Wallace, Burns and Scott, has died at her wayside residence, in the seventy-fifth year of her age. She had been often ailing for some years, and had been attended by Dr. McNab, of Callander, for several weeks, on account of an increase of unfavorable symptoms. No im- mediate danger was, however, apprehended, and her death was quite unexpected. Mrs. Ferguson ‘Was a well-known public character in Britain, and it is no exaggeration to say that the tidings of her decease will be read with sympathy in both hemi- spheres. For fully thirty-five years she was the lessee of the Duncraggan or “Brig o’ Turk” Inn, and by her long residence, her stout professional appearance, and most of all by her remarkable force of character, her fame was spread far and wide. Her father, Mr. Daniel Stewart, was a respectable farmer in Lendrick, and Mrs. Ferguson, during her long and active life, was hardly ever a couple of miles distant from the place of her birth, Her inn was a favorite resort of anglers, pedestrians and other habitués of the romantic region of the Trosachs; and her frank, kindly disposition and attention to the comforts of her guests gave to her hostelry very much the character of a home. She was a woman of very generous nature, and notwithstanding cer- tain peculiarities of character, such as Scott de- scribed in his “Me; erat was much and deservedly respected throu at the district, Vhen Queen Victoria was residing for a time at Invertrosach she presented Mrs. Lt ee with her portrait and @ couple of bright sovereigns, the latter of which the good lady perforated and hung upon her som for ornaments. Mrs. Ferguson was never blessed with children, and had been longa widow. Her woman’s wit and self- possession enabled her to conduct her business in a secluded spot with as much security as if she had been in the midst of 9 populons city. On one occa- sion she admitted that she had been rather annoyed with a Dery of ‘“navvies,”” who had knocked her up out of bed at an untimeous hour, demanding whis- key. But she saidshe “just ca’ed them ‘sir,’ ane an’ a’, an’ they Went away as quict as lambs.” Mrs. Ferguson’s inn was on the property of the Earl of Moray, who had a great regard for her. M.

The most dreaded manin France lived peacefully in a modest lodging on the Boulevard Beaumarchats.

Mr. Klaes, who was known among his acquaint- ances as the ‘King of Smokers,’’ has just died near Rotterdam. He had amassed a large fortune in the linen trade, and erected near Rotterdam a man- sion, one portion of which was devoted to the ar- rangement of a collection of tobacco pipes accord- ing to their nationality and chronological order. A few days before his death he summoned his lawyer and made his will, in which he directed that all smokers of the couutry should be invited to his fu- neral; that each should be presented with ten pounds of tobacco two Dutch of the newest fashion, on which be engraved the name, arms and date of the decease of the testator. He requested all his relatives, friends and funeral guests to be careful tokeep their pi alight during the funeral ceremonies, after which they should empty the ashes on the coffin.

He wasin his seventy-ffth General Sir John L, Pennefather. From England we have @ report of the death of General Sir John Lysaght Pennefather, G. 0, B., Governor of Chelsea Hospital, one of the most dis- tinguished soldiers of the British Army. He wasin the seventy-fourth year of his age. He obtained his first commission in the year 1818, He accompanied the Twenty-second regiment of infantry to lidiain 1841, and served in Asia several years with much distinction, He served under General Sir Charles J. Napier during the campaign in Scinde, and com- manded the infantry brigade at the battle of Meeance, at which he (then Heutenant colonel) waa shot through the body in the desperate encounter which was fought across the river, and only con- sented toleave the fleld when the enemy was beaten. He was also present at the destruction of the Port of Imaumghur. His gallantry was bighly praised in Sir Uharles Napler’s despatches, and he Was among the ofticers who received the thanks of Parliament. As a reward for his services in it campaign he was made # Companion .of the r of the Bath, and soon afterwards aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria, On his return home from India he. served on the statf in [reland as deputy quarter- master general. Sir John went through the East- ern campaign of 1854, in command of @ brigade under General Sir De Lacy Evans, and was present at the battle of the Alma, where his horse was twice | Wounded, His name was honorably mentioned in Lord Ragian’s despatch. He also took part in the siege of Sebastopol, including the repulse of the powertal sortie of the Russians on the 26th of ctober, aud at and after the battle of Inkerman commanded the Second division during General Evans’ sickness, At Inkerman he had his horse killed under him. General Pennefather, towards the end of the Russian war, was tempora in- valided, hay suffered all the privations and life in a Crimean winter. In recogni- istinguished military services he was made colonel of the Forty-sixth regiment of foot im November, 1854; the following year made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, was subse- i qpenty, made a Grand Ofiicer of the {onor, and a Commander of the Sardinian Order of | St. Maurice and St. Lazarus. After the war for some years he commanded the troops of the north- ern district of England, and for a time, with the rank of lieutenant general, the forces at Malta. From 1860 to October, 1865, he was chief of the forces at Aldershot, and on the death of Fiel@ | Marshal Sir Alexander Woodford, in September, | 1870, was appointed Governor of Chelsea Hospital, Lord Dalling and Bulwer. Baron Dalling and Bulwer (Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer), brother of Lord Lytton, died last Sunday night, aged sixty-eight years. Sir Henry waa Minister Plenipotentiary to Washington from the thoughtful air, Those who recognized him stopped to look back at the stalwart old man, and sighed ‘and shuddered as they saw him. He was, indeed, the most dreaded man in modern France who now Hes buried. ‘Monsieur de Paris” is no more, “Monsieur 'Ex¢cuteur des Hautes (uvres,” as he was wont legally to style himself, who has severed the heads of so many of his fellow beings, left the world in a green old age, With a satisfied conscience and by a placid death, M. Heindrich, the headsman of Paria, had completed seventy years of life, fifty-six of which were em- | nea in the exercise of his terrible calling. He egan his dread trade at the galleys of Toulon, at the early age of sixteen, having succeeded ‘his father, who filled the same office. He was then “promoted” to be headsman at Rouen. When San- gon (the last of that family who were the execu- toners of Paris for centuries, and whose most illustrious “patients” were King Louis XVI. and Qusen Marie Antoinette) retired from office Hein- rich was called up to the capital, when he put to death some of the most recent ruflans, guilty of celebrated crimes, About a year ago, as @ Inatter of course, the office of provincial execu- tioners was abolished, and the headsman of Paris obtained a small increase to his salary on having his jurisdiction extended to all France. But he complained that he was too old for such frequent employment and coustant‘travelling. The refined French executioner was not paid by the job, like vulgar pel rs. His salary and allowances amounted to 12,000 francs a Foe or $2,400—an amount of emolument so highly valued in France that there are many candidates for the vacant situ- ation. M.

Little was known of his private life, and it was @ subject on which no one ques- tioned him. But he is said to have travelled occa- sionally and to have beena well-informed man. His opinion was that capital punishment was a decided mistake in the interests of humanity, and fewer murders would be committed if convictions were more certain and secondary punishments more se- vere.

He was eighty- | five years of age. Mr. Roddy was born at Dundalk | about the year 1787. He got a first class education such a one as in his day must have been only within | the reach of those possessing ample means.
