Ford'fl-Tlieater, at WaahingUJil ; Id iVbich President Lincoln was murdered by J.-Wilkes Booth, lias been closed since the occurrence of that ead tragedy, and has been placed under strict military guard. The building had orig inally been a church ; btft after tne "moral re form party' came into power at Washington, there being a greater demand for theatres and 'female boarding houses" than for churches, the. building was bought for a place of amuse ment. Since the murder of Mr. Lincoln ef forts were made" to "convert" it back into a church ; but piety beiug at rather a low ebb, the negotiation fell through'. Mr. Ford, the owner of the building announced his intention to open it agtin as a Theatre, and the play of Octoroon" was on the programme for the first night's performance. An immense num ber of tickets were sold ; but before the performances commenced a miliUfy drde f Was is sued, and a placard was placed on the door, which read as follows : " Closed by order of tie War Department." This act of Jfr. Stanton is censured in the severe erms ty some 01 tne " loyal news papers, and especially by the New York Trib une, luat paper concludes a long article on the subject as follows: . We know nothing of Ford nor of his Thea ter but what is every-where current. ' But suppose lie is in del't, and his creditors want their pav : suppose his property heavily mortsazed. and the interest eating him up ; -suppose him to have a theatrical company on his hands, and no means of paying them except from his receipts. His lo8 by the suspension of his business for eleven or twelve weeks,- while Washington was full-of idle soldiers just paid off, must already amount to. many thousands of dollars. Who is to reimburse it? And by what right is he forcilly deprive! of the use of his property, the means of trying his debts, in obedience to others' sense of fitness? Why should they evince their regard for our late President's memory at his expense rather than their own ? We urge theee considerations, with no idle conceit of influeneing the course of Secretary Stanton. Thit Yunctioriary seems incapable of comprehending that our ronntry has,' or should have, any other law than his own Arbitrary will. But he can not remain in office forever ; and wjien he retires, we hope to have a restoration of. Ue privilege, of habeas corpus and the supremacy of Jaw ; and then w shall hope for a legal scrutiny of some of his many " fantastic tricks," and an adjudication between them and the personal rights they have rut h Iob ly violated. JUIeantirrie. we only wish it to stand on record that we hold his assumptions of power utterly unwarrafited. nd. wito-out: excup.i , , r j Delano Endorsed. . I A few days since we published some extracts from a speech of Columbus Delano, member of Congress elect .from the Kiox District, in which he declared that without the aid of negro eoldiers, our armies would not have succeeded ; and as a reward for their services, they must be invested with all the fights Of citizenship eit on juries, hold ofSce and" voteatelec-tions.The Cleveland Leader, the big gun of the Abolitionists on the " Reserve, dont know whether Delaho etet Used this language, but hopes " it is true that thU distinguished stales-man has taken ground in favor of doing justice to the black soldiers of the Union. Mr. Delano has been accounted a conservative, but such a course as thin will entitle him to the respect and confidence of the moet progressive anti slavery men." That the Abolitionist of Ohio endorse the radical sentiment of Delano, there can be no doubt ; but in the exce e of their love for the negro they entirely ov?rlook the claims of our white soldiers. We believe that our armies contained a great ma-y soldiers of foreign birth especially Germans and irishmen who are not legal citizens of the United States, but who rendered gallant service in the ranks of our f.rmies. These men, it seems, are to be proscribed on account of color, or, in other words, for the misfortune of being white men. Their right to citizenship, is certa:nlt Jnot inferior to that of the negro, in a legal or any other po'nt of view, and the only reason why they are proscribed, is that the Radicals fear they will vote against them. While soldiers of foreign (not African) descent, should bear these things in mind. Dayton Empire. , General Sherman on Politics. General Sherman, in hia late reception speech at Columbus, said: - "He would not accept the office of Presi dent, were it offered to him to-day. lie could ao Deuer. lwenty-nve tnousana dollars a year was no inducement f:r him to BBBUtrje til duties and reepo'nsibilitles t)Tthe sTrestdency. He would prefer to retain the military position he now holds.; He was quite satie fled with the reputation; he bad gained in Tfc, and he intended to take care of it. The Preeiden-cy had well nigh killed every military man that had meddled with it, and he had no purpose or desire to have any thing to do with it. "And it bad been said he could not favor his friend Cox, here, for the civil office for which he is now a candidate. Here again, he had been misunderstood. What be did say was that he wondered that the General would exchange a Major Generalship for the place of Governor of Ohio. But he- supposed that possibly General Cox considered it was giving up an uncertainty for a certainty. " For - him-sel, he would, not ' have the office, if be could, for two years, or five thousand years." , According to the Statesman' . report. Gener al Sherman carefullj ' avoided saying that . lie would support General Cox for Governor.- It is Certain that' miming; for It. he wis surprised at (oj's fin. Uaty fiuxratt.

W, Itailway, on Thursday night, had fallen asleep on reaching Mansfield, where he was to change cars and take the Ft. Wayne 'train, and the conductor failing to awaken him was brought to this place. After getting off the train at the A. & G. W. depot, he went to the C. C. & C depot, and there inquired how soon & train would go to Crestline, and stated that he was on his way west, had failed to connect with the other train at Mansfield, &c. He was told that no train would leave here for Crest line until six o'clock in the morning, which would be too late for him to to take the morn ing train west on the f t. Wayne road. Here he met with two young men, who stated that they also wished to go west on the same train lie did, and to him they had concluded to walk to Crestline, a distance of 4 miles, in order to get there in time for the Fort Wayne train, and told him lie had better -go with them. Fletcher, - never suspecting anything wrong, and believing what the men told him, went with them. When they were about half-way to Crestliue, one of the men, who was walking behind Fletcher, knocked him down, and as he did so the other threw the contents of a small phial, supposed to have been chloro form, into Fletcher's face, almost blinding him. After he was down they hit him over the head several times with a"billy" or club. until lie was supposed by them to be dead, when they took from his pockets $900 in money, a valuable watch and chain, and skedaddled. Fortunately, Fletcher was not dan gerously hurt, an J recovered to consciousness ere morning, when he made his way to Creat ine, there made his case known and had his wounds dressed. lie was brought to this place and taken to the Western House. On Friday a man called upon a Saloon keeper at Crestline and -asked to borrow five dollars and said he would return two for onej as he thought his 'pards,' "Sam" and "Dutchy," had made a big h awl the night before. This remark caused suspicion, and the Saloon keeper immediately had the man arrested and brought to this place. He was sent to Bucy-TU8 and put in our cotihty jail. This man was considerable of a "blow," and from him our officers 'learned that "Dutcby" whose correct name we have not4 learned was at Mansfield, where our Officers repaired and succeeded in aresting "Dutchy," and brought him to Galion. on Saturday evening. .: Fletcher immediately recognized this man as the came who robbed hini The night watchman and bagrfage-master also stated that he is 'one of thS ;ylkgfeoJrft1fir fff pot 'tWffinniifsjsu night fn - company, with Fletcher. Upon ''Dutchy ','' person waa found the watch which Fletcher identified as belonging to him. . Everything clearly proved that this was the right man. but some of our citizens who were somewhat excited over the. affair, did not. think him in the right place, as our 'calaboose' is not the proper place for as great a villain as him, and were anxious to have him taken to the couuty jail. On Monday he was taken to Bucyrus in charge of -Marshal Peterson, and bound over to Court. On "Monday." "Sam," "Dutchy's" accomplice, was also a; tested, and freely confessed that he assisted in the robbing of Fletcher. . He was also taken to Bucyrus and placed in jail with his two friends. Fletcher is much better, the wounds on his head being almost healed up. We have not been able to. learn whether his money has been recovered or not. . It is thought that this section of the country is infestedwith a regular organised band of murderers and thieves, and the depredations committed by them are becoming too frequent and unbearable. We hope the officers, to whom great credit is due fof the manner in which they have ferreted out and arrested these rascals, may succeed in capturing the whole gang, and give thm their just deserts.

So many contradictory and false accounts have, been published concerning MrsT Surratt's last moments, that we feel compelled to furnish the public with a true vers" on.

' ' " ' All those mentioned remained with her sew eral hours, her daughter being the last to leave. To all she declared herself innocent. Next morning the above mentioned persons, together with. Mr. John T..-JIolohan: and a niece of Mrs. Surratt were present. Her daughter remained at the White House nearly all the forenoon, in hopes of getting a reprieve from the President. Failing in this, she went sorrowfully And heart-broketi to take. leave of her mother. . ' . j'"- -,. ..The parting of mother And daughter was agonizing in the extreme. Mr. Itolohan next took leave, and after him, Mr. Brophy, bade her adieu: On the scaffold she said to her spiritual attendants : "Shall I say anything?" Father Walter asked : "What do yon wish to say, Mrs. Surratt?" She replied: "I wish to say to the people that I am innocerft." Father Walter told her it would be "useless to do bo now.

Thompson moved in to the house which is situated one and a half miles south of the town..; He seems to have been the leader of the gang, and soon had his nefarious schemes ju full -operation. Beside several of his old Confederates, he soon suc ceeded in initiating quite a number of reckless young men of the neighborhood into the band. Thus was established, on a grand scale, a sys- temized scheme of stealing, robbing, &c. A small obscure .building was 'erected in the neighboring wood in which to store the bulk of their plunder. The house and barn were also brought into requisition to store away the proceeds of tlier predatory adventures. They also -had a small hand printing press, dies, ink. paper and everything necessary for manufac turing currency.

Smoking: Out a BepnblieaA Candidate- - v General: Cox's Position. - John Mercer La ngs ton, th e "colored " law yer of Oberlin, has written a letter to Sidney o. Warner, the Abolition candidate for Treas urer of State,, demanding that he immediately define his position upon the subject of negro euffrage, etc.-... Langeton speaks "on behalf f very ' many earnest and patriotic men, who, anxious to support all -the candidates put in nomination by the late Republican Convention held in the city of Columbus, have made up theiMninds that they'-will vote forno man who is not in favor of the repeal of the Slack Laws of the State, and in favor of giving to the negro, North and South, the privilege of voft'ngr.'and that, too, without unreasonable delay, and upon the same conditions on wnicn white men vote. Warner has, perhaps, been over captious, since us no nmation, about expressing Ins views as o some of the ticklish questions doubtless fearing Southern Ohjp and . the Soldiers ! Ilence, the anxiety as to hia position on the part of "the earnest men." f Jangston s letter s also signincant. in that by implication, authoritively resards Gen eral Cox, the Oberlin candidate for Governor, as in harmony with the Blacks and with thofee Who would place them upon political and so cial equality with the White Man. ' The General's Oberlin education and training are regarded by the New York Tribune, as being sufficient to justify its announcement that he is in favor.of negro suffrage ; butXiangston's conviction on that subject is fortified by, positive assurances from Cox s Oberlin relatives and friends. Tt was after such assurances, that he labored for hia (Coxs) nomination, by going into a public meeting at that place wherein a white mart was driven from , the chairmanship, and at black man placed in the position -and demanding instructions to insure a del-' egaiion xo tne iiepu ovaw winvenuon from Lorain county, who should be in favor of nominating him (Cox); witb -ori wUhdut a platform.

Cambridge Correspondence Springfield Repabli ' - . - - can. . . - :. - On the morning of class day the sophomore class buried one.of their nitmber, who literally died" from! want of the necessities of life, and that, too, right here at Harvard College. Only a year ago, fresh from a farm seventeen miles from Buffalo, N. Y.. a raw, gTeen lad of twenty-two applied Tor admission to the sophomore class. His awkward rnahnef and un-COiltli bearing won for him the name of "tireeny." Only last week-was he missed from recitation, and wav up in a little ten by twenty attic room of a rickety old boarding-house, Somebody said he was dying of typhoid fever. Ex-President Pcaboly, the good Sa mafitatl of Harvard, heafd of his distress, and repairing to his room found the poor boy fealr ly in the arms of deatli. For a year his only food been bread and water, and sometimes a little milk, and often one meal a day sufficed. His room was small and poorly ventilated, and by the feeble light of an old oil lamp had the poor fellow worked eighteen out oftwenty-four hours each day. These facts quickly coming out, everything that could be done was done. His Iat hours were made as comfortable as a sympathizing, and conscience-stricken neighborhood could make them. His broken-hearted mother came to take her son's body home, and she must have been overjoyed to learn what would have only a little before given her son so much happiness to have known, that he was the first scholar in his class, and- to receive; the first, scholarship which yield a cozy little income of three hundred dollars per year. But it was too late; hie pride would never allow him to complain; his ambitiob " continually spurred .him on.'

The Dayton Journal, of the 10th fnst., says: We are Infofmed that a horrible tragedy took place in Madison County, about four miles from London,, last week, but our informant could not give names. We recite this awful story as we heard it. A farmer sold his farm to three men, who gave him $15,000 cash in part payment. In the evening he walked to London, leaving his wife at home. Some time after, a. peddler, , who bad often staid all night in the house, drove up, and asked permission: to remain; but the farmer's wife declined, because, it was doubtful if her husband returned that night, and she knew there was a large amount of money in the house. She remarked ta the peddler that if her hus band returned he wOuld probably meet him. The peddler drove' on, met the farmer and returned with him. As they approached the house, the farmer observed a light in a room in which, he usually kept his papers, and remarked to the peddler that there were burglars in the house. The peddler produced a pair of revolvers,',, and the two, stationing themselves at points where the burglars would probably attempt to escape, they gave the alarm, and three men rushed out. The peddler killed twO of them, when the third ran toward the farmer, who killed him. TJbon entering the house, the farmer was horrified to find his: wife ana child murdered.

WasniJJGTON, July. 10, 18G5. Rev. Dr. Gillette, the eminent pastor of the Firct Baptist Church in this city,. who attend ed the last, hours of the convict at the request of the Secretary of War, speaks of Payne, or Powell, as a character of more than ordinary interest. The following is an extract from Mr. Gillette's yesterday sermon: '.- "His father was a Baptist minister. The rconvict had been from infancy brought up un- n : .it . . . ii a . a uer reugious inntrence. At twelve years 01 age he was by his own father conseeffttfed to God in baptism, and became a member of the church.- In direct opposition to the wishes of his family he . entered the rebellion. For a time .he endeavored to retain his religious character, but became Connected with Gilmor. This was his second great step . downward. That was followed by his getting Into Mosby 's gang, which was far . worse, liis next com panion was Booth. Dr. Gillete. found Powell to be a young man of cultivated mind, ingenuous, frank, candid, and an earnest supplicant for Divine favor. In : conversation, he referred "to his mother and wept bitterly to his sisters to the pleasant seasons once enjoyed by him in the church, the Sabbath-school and the social circles. Powell frankly stated his conviction of the enormity of his crime. The moment he fled from the house of Secre tary Seward and leaped into the saddle of hitt horse, his mind was quickened into a realiz ing sense of the horror :of the damnable deed which he had perpetrated, and he became miserable, wretched life itself became loath some." From the yood8field: Spirit of Dpmoeracy. j The Oberlin Candidate. Gencral Cox, the negro-equality candidate for Governor of Ohio, is a 'graduate of that sweet-scented place, tJberlin College. Accord ing to the ideas inculcated there, making the negroes -tne equals ot the whites, is letting the darkies down considerably, liucks and wehch es there compose the '"fus suckles," but white trash like Cox. as an hotrerable distinction for meritorious conduct,. Were sometimes allowed to associate. with them. " ' Artemaa Ward, the great showman, and philosopher, visited Oberlin once ; probably while Cox was there. ' He says that "a grate many wnrthy young men go there annooally to git iatelleck into 'em - but its tny 00 biassed 'pinion that they go it rather too strong ob Xjiiiiopians hi voeriin-, , V" rainy naise wime peple can't find their way threw the streets without gas is lit," there bein such a uuumer-osity of culler pussons in town." He concludes hia description thus: "Ober lin is a grate plane. The col lege opens with a prayer and then The Iew York Tribuue is read. A colleckshun is then taken up to buy over coats with red horn buttons onto them for tbe indignant Cullerd peple 6fv Xanady.. I have to ContribiVlibrally two the glorious work, as they kawt it hear.

' Cox is still true to his early instincts and the the other Stinks of that Ethiopian paradise.

We hear a great deal of complaining about the unjust and uncalled for Militia Tax of 4.00. : To say that the law is infamous, is to speak of it in the mildest terms. It is robbery made legal by a set of rabid, insane negro lovers, who spent an entire winter in worshipping the black man, and disregarding the interests of the white man. Our advice to the citizens of the State would be to form military companies In every neigh borhood the law gives you. four months in which to uniform. Before that shall have rolled around we will have elected a Democratic Legislature, whose first act will be to repeal this -infamous law. which requires a poor man with a dozen children depending up on his daily labor for support to pay just as much as the rich nabob and the man that rolls in wealth and hixurv.
