The Committee on benevolent Institutions, consisting of Representatives Hamilton. Kancherand Fall, visited the Hospital for the Insane Thursday afternoon and jerformed the grand pedestrian feat of walking through about ten miles of wards and halls from ; o'clock p. m. to 7. They investigated and traveled, and traveled and investigated, and, from the best information derived; they were abundantly satis'ied that the Institution was cor Victed in a most satisfactory manner. 1) liogers, though not as accomplished a pec. - itrian as Representative Hamilton, accompanied the Committee and offered every facility for a careful examination of tlie entire Institution. Jim Woods, the Irish miner and Assistant Doorkeeper, has had a smart sprinkling of soldier experience in the lntihh army. Jle was a member of the Sixth 1'nnlskillan Heavy Dragoons when the famous charge of the i-umortal Ü0O was made at Balaklava. His Regiment of Light Dragoons waaed through the valley of death, as it were, and captured the Russian works, but 111 of the ios being left alive. A large force of Russian cavalry immediately charged on the heroic little band. a?wl, to counteract this. the Knniskillan Dragoons wer sent to their support. When thi magnificent body of cavalry charged up the Valley, it was like the sweep or a tornado, the Russian lines were broken and turned back, and then it was that the Russian Commander ordered his artillery to play on both Russian and Rritish cavalry, the cannonading being soterritic tlvat the I'ritish dragoons were compelled to retreat. In this last charge Jim's horse was killed and himself nearly trampled to death. He received a dicharge and a pension of six cents per day, but was w disgusted with their treatment of disabled soldiers and tlie miserable pittance, that he married the lady of his choice and struck out for America.

Senator Menzies' bill, providing for the "aying of steam pijs's through incorporated cities, pa-sed the ."-eiiate yesterday. The coal oil bill, in relation to the inspection of oils, was up in the Senate. Theie is a -trong dis.josition on the part of some of the Senators to abolish tlie office of Inspector. Senators Chapman and Drown promise to to regulate the pawnbrokers and their business by requiring them to pay a license ami be .subjected to an examination of their shops by the Chief-of-l'olicc. This session of the Legislature will cloe in a few day. Many important matters need attention. An extra .session, in the opinion of many, will doubtless 1m called, although there is a faint rumor in the air that Governor f orter will not call one. A stringent local option law bill was presented to the House by Rppresenative iregory. At least one-half of the signature of the bona fide voters of a town. Township or Ward must le obtained to retail lujuor, and, in addition, a licence fee of S'-0.

The bill was prepared by Senator Coin pton. sho is well and tborourhly acquainted with the uiiiiin interest, and trie vote upon its jusage i- a good index to the incrii ut the bill. Tiiv CAiiitituents of Senator lienz must surely appreciate the creditable efforts f that gentleman to do his duly faithfully in their behalf.

The bill is similar to the laws of nine We-tern States, which have len prsIeriu:, while the laws of Indiana. lei favorable, had the effect to shut out emigration. It the law is passed, the Scottish Corepany will at once commence operations, buying unimproved lands and improving then:. ami sending emigrants and only .such as they are willing to sell lands to on time. If it 'is not pHs.-ed they will at once turn their attention to other States, and the whole question is, do we want this money and emigration of Scottish farmers to come to In. liana or not? They ape not compelled to come. If the bill is passed they will come to Indiana and if not tluey uill not come.

A NIGHT OF HORKOtt.

Account of the Assassination of TresI dent Lincoln. Andrew Johnson Notable for the Coolness He Displayed at the Time. The Scene In the Room t here the ureat KxecutlT Passed Ills Final Hour-lb Inner Detail of tbe Great Tragedy. p'hSrgoTltnw, rbrory2t.J General James R. OTJeirne, who was lrovost Marshal in the District at the time of Lincoln's assassination, publishes for the first time a nsrrative of his' otticial knowledge of the inner details of this great tragedy. After speaking of the general situa tion, General O'Beirne Fays: "Bunting aud flas were brought out in profusion and tho -city was generally decorated, some of the public buildings being literally covered with a drapery of Union flags. As the joyous masses surged to and fro the congratulations became harmlessly boisterous. The public buildings and lastly the "White House, received visits from thousands, and Mr. Lincoln, in good spirits and in charitable accents, greeted people on the auspicious occasidn. He was so full of forgiveness that he consented jocosely, in response to a call from one of the crowd, that the serenading band should play "Dixie," "tor," said he, "as we have captured Richmond, and, therefore, the Confederacy, we have captured 'Dixit' with it, and are entitled to hear it played, as it is one of our own tunes now." This great rejoicing was, however, of bri if existence, for THK. ASSASI.V by whose hand the center of all this glad scene was to be removed from its midst, without a moment's warning, was abroad in the streets that day, and even mixed up unsuspected with the jubilant throng. Rarely twenty-four hours elapsed after the rejoicings were exhausted and the participators had resumed the serious business of everv-day routine and habit, when h pale, youthful light-haired young man, Walter Hellen, the son of a banker by that name, rushed into the Metropolitan Hotel, almost breathless with excitement, and gasped out: President Lincoln has just been shot while in a box in Ford's Theater!" It was then located where the Army Medical Museum now is, on Tenth street, between K. and F. streets. This was 6aid to a small group of persons, among whom were the Provost Marshal of the District and one of his spe cial detectives. The I ornier, jumping into a buggy at the door, precipitately KODE TO VORli's THKATlTTi, but a few blocks distant, where he found a shutHing crowd, dazed and panic-stricken, moving around ouUide of the building. They acted as if they knew not whither they were going, nor what they were doing, but were indulging in such ejaculation, as Oht what a terrible thing! "Who could have dono it? If we only had the assassin, we would make short work of hiin." o one among them knew where Mr. Lincoln was then, and none could answer intelligibly inquiries made, but the hasty glance of a practiced eye took in the situation as he elbowed his way through the stupifl-d look-er-3-on, and a small bunch of men was discovered to be carrying the inanimate andapparently lifeless body of Air. laneoln up the steps of a small house opposite the Theater now occupied by Mr. Louis, Schader editor of The Washington Sentinel. II was carried into the rear room at the end of the hall, which had a large double bed in it. This apartment was evidently used forslecping purposes, and had little other furniture, in itthiin a few chairs, a ?mall table, and a wa.hstand of cheap kind. The lloor was cover-d with a kind of grass matting, and every thing betokened a simplicity and absence of expenditure which the limited means possessed by the occupant of the house- Tendered necessary. Atter describing the scene outside, the General says: "Mr. Lincoln was I.AIU t.E.VTLY OX THK BKD, after having been partially disrobed. Dr. t dalles A I eale was holding and examining his head, from the side of which, near the left ear, blood was oozing with some parts of the cetebral matter mixed with it, - which trickled over the pillow and counterpane. Life seemed extinct, and no breathing was at flrt upparent. The expression of Mr. Lincoln's face was, however, more that of one in a comatose than in a dead state, and without the slightedl expression of paiD. The phy siean in loud tones and peremptorily, auer scrutinizing mt. .Lincoln cioseu-, as he held his head slightly raised in his hand, said: 'Kun and get me some brandy. The i Provosl Marshrll dashed from the room and over the way to a bar-room opposite, where he Krocured a large glass of brandy, with which e quickly returned and assisted Dr.Teale to pour soma liquor down Air. Lincoln's throat. After a few moments the President's chest surged, and with a spasmodic rtlbrt he drew a long breath and continued thereafter in rapid but short stentorious respirations. Proceeding to place guardä at the door to kep the crowd back, tbe 1'rovoU Marshal observed a gentleman standing in the hall bleeding profusely from a wound in the arm, and manifesting dime signs of faintneps as he slowly moved toward the hall door. Thig proved to be Colonel Kathbone, who bad accompanid Mr. JJncoln to tbe theatre that night, and sat in tbe box with him f.nd the rest of the Presidential party. He had come over when Air. Lincoln was carried to the humble back room where he then laid. He was MTfr-KKRI. 'KOf A STA It WOt-NO in the right arm, inflicted by the amehand which lired the fatal shot at Mr. Lincoln. It was received while he was in the act of sei.ing hold of Wilkes Booth us he sprang from the theater box to the stage to make his escape when he inflicted the deadly in jury. The Provoet Alarshal exchanged a few words with Colonel Bathbone, who did not speak of his own wound in the great and overshadowing presence of the more serious damage t- Air. Lincoln; but ho was observed to grow suddenly pale mid faint, then staggered a little, when the Provost Alarshal remarked that he, too, was injured, but Le merely responded in reply: "It is only a mere trifle.' It being evident that he was growing weak from loss of blood, the Provost Marshal led him down the front tps of the bouse, and assisted in placing him in a carriage, which was rapidly driven to bis residence, somo friends accompanying him and administering restoratives to cope with the effects of the profuse bleeding. Through the hurrying and agitated crewds of people now in the streets, ' when Mr. Lincoln was found to be as well cared for as possible, the Provost Marshal drove rapidly to the houses of Alessrs. Seward and Stanton, the Secretaries of State and Wat', who were reported also to have been assassinated. At the nrst place an excited and angry crowd of loyal citizens wer found, and the information obtained that Mr, Seward was then (though 'just recovering from injuries received in a carrlago aocf. dent) bleeding and almost lifeless from the1

blows of an assassin's knife, n is son, too.

in the attempt to save the father, had been struck down, and both were lying insensible in an upper Dea-cnamner. a man wearing a Confederate uniform was met immediately opposite the house, and being questioned, said he was a paroled! prisoner. His gray jacket was instantly torn from him and thrown into the park, and he ordered on his way. In the agitated condition of the crowd it Is likely that, in a moment of blind fury, which then prevailed on all sides, had he" not quickly obeyed the Provost Marshal's orders he yould have been. U.NTUU) ON THE SPOT. This ex-Confederate soldier has never turned up to tell his story, and among a great many a doubt still exists whether he had any connection with the man Pavne, who attempted to kill Air. Seward and his son "William. "Why he was there at that particular time has never been accounted for by the officials, but certain it is he knew of the fresh tragedy when he was on the verge of being assailed. Dispositions lor further safety having been made, the Provost Marshal prta?eeded instantly to the residence of Mr. fcHanton, Secretary of War, and thence to where Mr. Lincoln was lying, whither the former was reported to have gone. Upon arrival there it was found that the uninjured member of the Cabinet had arrived at Mr. Lincoln's bedside, and a con sultation was had and a Cabinet session Immediately resolved on, whicjjwas held in a back parlor adjoining. Mr. Lincoln was fast nearing death. Alter the meeting Mr. Stanton, to whom the Provost Marshal reported for orders, directed the latter to proceed immediately to the Kirk wood House and escort Mr. Andrew Johnson, Vice President elect, to where the remaining Representatives of the administration then were. Air. Johnson was found in his room in his shirt sleeves, sitting with a friend, Air. Far well, who had long been on terms of intimacy with him. The evening was warm and oppressive. Both seemed to be in meditative and silent mood. Un being ushered in by Air. Browning, Private Secretary to the Vice Presi dent, the Provost Marshal announced the wishes and request or the ix-cretary of W ar that Mr. Johnson would proceed to tho house on Tenth street, where the member of the Cabinet were assembled. MR. JOlSSOX QUIETLY AS-K.NTED, and putting on his coat announced to the Provost Marshal that he was ready to accompany him. When on the street the lat ter asked whether it would not be advisable to have a guard accompany him as a pre caution, in tne exeitea condition ol a flairs a hidden danger was supposed by every one to be lurking in close proximity, one knew not where. Such was the unhinged condition of everything among the populace a sense of insecurty existed on all sides. No one could tell where a new calamity might be found. To the provost guard Mr. Johnson objected. He was then requested to ride in the buggy of the Provost Marshal, as it would be more safe than moving through the crowd, where another assassin might be found who would plunge a knife into the back of the Vice-President and easily kill him, thus carrying out apparently the plan of leaving" the Government without its head. Again Mr, Johnson objected4 and said he would prefer to walk. A whispered conversation was then hel 1 witli him on the steps of the Kirkwood House, then on the site of the Shepherd building, intimating the great danger possible and urging provision for safety. Mr. J Jolin?on was steadfast in declining to go otherwise than alone, but aked the I rovost Alarshal if he had 'any weapons. To this lie renliod that he had a ('oh's navv revolver and reachintr to bis vet pocket proposed togive it to .Mr. Johnson. He said. Oio, I do not went it, but a you have that means of protection it will do should anything happen." Then taking the arm of the Provest .Marshal be proceeded coolly to walk toward Tenth street by way of Pennsylvania avenue. Both elbowed their v.-ftv through the crowd, with bis protector, anJ the remaining head of the Government was jostled about here and there among the throng. The Provost Marshal says h? had great apprehensions lest Air. Johnson should be recognized and some desperado attempt his life while in his company. It was with a great sense of relief that, having elbowed his way through the dense crowd on Tenth street above and below Ford's Theater, now the Army Aledical Museum, he safely reached the house where Mr. Lincoln was dying, and conducted him to the room where Secretary Stanton and the rest of the Cabinet were, and the doors were then closed and the situation calmly discussed. To provide for future contingencies, it was resolved that as soon as possible after the death of Mr Lincoln, w htch was a foregone conclnsion, Mr. Johnson should be SWORN IX AS FRfrlSlDKST. After looking at the still insensible form of Air. Lincoln for a lew moments, and without an expression of any kind, which reticence ie had observed from the beginning, Air. Johnson signified his readiness to return to his rooms with the Provost Marshal. In going or coming but few words were spoken. Once, however, the Provost Alarshal. who felt deeply the waning condition of Mr. Lincoln, his good friend, ventured to remark that he hoped now that all kindness and forbearance had proved unavailing a policy of severe and uncompromising punishment would bo visitod upon the bad men who were leading in the attempt to destroy theNatinn. To this be replied: 'Wben you know mora of me you will think better of me." To this day the enigmatical words have never been explained. Mr. Johnson aafely left at his Hotel, the Provost Marshal resumed bis post Ht the side of Secretary Stanton in the room where Mr. Lincoln was. Acting Assistant Surgeon C S. Taft und F. Kine, wht had helped Dr. Teal to carry Mr. Lincoln out of the Theater, were joined by Dr. Robert. K. Stone, burgeon General Barnes, and Assistant Surgeon General C. 11. Crane, who were endeavoring to do all they could to restore Mr. Lincoln to consciousness." Alfter describing the affecting scenes of Lincoln's bed chamber that long evening, the General says: "During the night Secretary Stanton, with wonderful thoughtfulness, dictated from time to time a large number of messages to various sections of the Union. He was reruarkbly calm throughout, methodical and reflective, betraying no evidence of emotion except once or twice when be breathing of Mr. Lincoln became lesa audible, and it was supposed that the last moments of life had come. At theee times he turned almost involuntarily . from. a little tablo at width ho stood HEAVED A SJOII, reassured himself that death bad not supervened, and then, looking out thoughtfully through the open window into the sturlit night, apparently gave himself up to the buinrs of reflecting upon what was to be done next by tho ad mi niri ration to meet the emergency and provide for tbe future. Mr. Lincoln's respiration gradually became inaudible as daylight appeared on tho morning ot April 15, and juot as dawn wus blend ing with day a sudden short deep guttural noise, occasioned 1y a last struggle for. Dreatn, exciuxi tne attention or tho watchers. It sounded m if caused by a choking obstacle or thickno?a tf phlegm in the throat. The chest expanded to its utmost capacity, and slowly sank. Then all was silent. Surgeon General Barnes moved jioiieletily

to the side of the bed, examined the pulse, shook his head, jnd walked away. Ills assistant, General Crane, aTso made an examination, and both signified unmistakably by their looks that Abraham Lincoln, the faithful and devoted President of the United State, was dead. Air. Stanton then approached the bed and locked intently for a few minutes at the features of the mudercd one. He resumed his position at the window, placing one foot on the chairseat near by, leant upon his knee with the left arm Wet as a prop, braced his chin with the elo-ed hand, sighed bitterly, and, almost AS IK W ITH KEY KX.F.K VL frTELISGS,

the stern gaze out into the early morning was again resumed. The Union was for tbe time without a President. The first one who had met hi3 death by violence while in office, and the first who had lost his life by the hand of an assassin; the lirst one who had dared by a proclamation to liberate 4,000 of slaves in the name of freedom had now passed to immortality, a martyr, though loved and respected by . all, and who had nevr even wronged the feelings of his fellow man. Gradually all the witnesses of the sad scene withdrew. Preparations were at once made for embalming the body and its removal to the White House. Secretary Stanton immediately gave orders for the necessary arrangements. No one who has gone through the incidents of this awful tragedy will ever forget that night of horror, and few, if any, can deson be it in all its sadness. A Winter Paradise. A correspondent of the Utica Herald writeffroni St. Augustine, Fla.: "Thiscity in the winter is quite a paradise. What may come to it in the summer months I know not, but now it meets all the requirements of the most fastidious. To-day 1 have picked jessamines and wild tlowers growing abundantly. Kvery where are orange trees loaded with their delicious fruit. Magnolias, with their rich, dark green foli.ige. palmettos of wonderful growth and beauty, palm and cactus on every band, are rare realities for midwinter. No better air can be imagined, and with it great water froit and historic mem ories it is not remarkable that bun Ireds are already gathering here from all parts to en joy its privileges.
