Saturday April 15/65 Washington DC. Dearest Henrietta. I recd a letter from Susie two or three days ago. I have not answered it yet. President Lincoln is dead. he was shot last night at half past ten at Fords Theatre on tenth st. [near?] Av. he died towards morning. at the same time an attempt was made to assassinate Secretary Seward at his residence on 15 1/2 St opposite the Park. it is thought he will recover but one of his sons stabbed at same time will not recover. another son was also injured. It is rumored J. Wilkes Booth an actor & the supposed assassin of the President has been caught near Baltimore. again the rumor is contradicted. attempts were too supposed to have been made to take the lives of Secretary Stanton & other members of the Cabinet. Grant was reported killed. & for a time the wildest rumors prevailed. a citizen asked a soldier the news. the soldier told him "Lincoln was dead" the citizen said "good" when the soldier shot him. the streets are thronged the people excited & no more dare use disloyal words. heavy patrols & guards are out. This morning three of the assassinators were caught by some men of the 2nd Co. of our Squadron - a detail from the squadron a few days since having been sent to the Virginia side for Picket duty - while they were trying to escape near Ft Ringgold - one of our men in taking them was shot in the arm and men remaining here were called out & on duty all last night. I am not on to day but think will have to <hr /> go on to night. For almost two weeks past victory has followed upon victory. the roar of artillery firing each succeding salute, was heard through the city gladdning the hearts of the Loyal. the city was night after night illuminated. rockets were thrown up & fireworks blazed all over the city. the streets were thronged with joyous crowds. transparencies mottoes & evergreen wreaths were displayed from Private as well as Public buildings. the Govt. & Military Depts. were hung & festooned with flags. battle Corps. Division, Artillery, Navy, Signal & Cavalry guidons & Standards & at the Principal places. Bands playing right before dark jubilant over Lees surrender was most brilliant of all - a full moon rode in a clear sky. the entire city was one blaze of Light. the display of fireworks was spendid & gay & happy throngs crowded the streets until late at night. yesterday was the anniversary of the fall of Ft Sumter & at the same time the anniversary of it recapture & the restoration of the National flag on its walls [&?] it was talked of making in future one of our festal days & at its close it is by a midnight murder of our President turned into a day of mourning. yesterday was a warm bright spring day & though clouds were gathering the moon still shone bright as I turned towards my quarters from near the Theatre where I staid until about two oclock. To day it is raining & drizzling - gloomy dismal rain at intervals. the church bells are tolling. the city is draped in mourning & flags are at half mast & <hr /> a gloom has settled down over all. I had a night pass last night & it was my intention to go to Grovers Theatre. I was somewhat late & seeing it was crowded turned to go to Fords - where the President was shot - when a large torchlight procession from the Arsenal coming up the Av. with blazing torches transparencies fireworks & music & banners attracted my attention. after I had watched that awhile it was rather late to go to the Theatre & I went to a Concert saloon on the Av. While there a boy came in & told that the President was shot. the saloon was instantly emptied. I could not at first believe it. Cavalry dashing madly down the [stony?] street & infantry hurrying down told it must be so. a sergt belonging to our Command who had been at the theatre coming along told me it was so. I went to the place. Mr Lincoln had been taken to a house opposite. the street was thronged, guards mounted & infantry, kept back the crowd. Senaters & members of the cabinet & General Angus & staff hastened in. several arrests were made by the military & the crowd cried to the officer ordering the arrest "that is right" the crowd was deeply moved & grieved, their silence & low consultations as the talked in groups showed that & when a Lady announced that the President could not live I noticed many smote their hands together in grief. mutterings & threats of vengence were heard on every side. the soldiers stood together by threes & fours, threatening death to all rebels or their sympathizers - & all expressed their willingness to reinlist again if it was necessary to avenge the President's death. several unlucky rebel soldiers, Paroled, who were <hr /> found on the streets by our soldiers, were severly handled. coming to my quarters on some of the side streets groups of ladies at the windows & balconies & men on the streets talking as late as two in the morning. when I got to my quarters all had left but a few. this morning we were ordered to keep ourselves in readiness to move out any moment. most probaly have to do duty to night. I was on the av. but an hour ago. Vice President Johnson was Inagurated at 11 am to day as President of the U.S. All saloons are closed. the Theatres are closed & notice put up they will stay so for an indefinite time. as I passed the Presidential mansion I noticed groups of contrabands, sitting along the curb & on the sidewalk & looking through the iron fence at the house - now heavily guarded -wistfully sad & dejected. they have lost a father & they know it & as they pass along the streets they are not afraid to ask a soldier - ask if the President is dead or Mr Seward & why should they not. My own feelings last night were gloomy and bitter. I would have joined in any outbreak & like other soldiers felt that I could do most anything reinlist if necessary to avenge the Presidents death: & to show the traitors North & South that they must [come?] [under?] no rebel soldiers done this. men that go openly out & fight even for a wrong cause generally have too much honor to stab in the dark. it is rebel sympathizers & citizens bushwhackers those who at the front sneak up in the night & pick off our pickets who do this. a rebel soldier has no sympathy with them Your brother J Thoman <hr /> Miss Henrietta Thoman Crestline Ohio Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

Marine Bank of Chicago. Chicago, Dec 27, 1860 Hon. Richard Yates, Jacksonville, Ill My dear sir: I am in receipt of yours of the 23rd. My opinion is that there is not so much fault in our present law as in its misconstruction, perversion, and nonenforcement. Yet there are amendments which are indispensable for the protection of the public. 1st we need to have a requirement that all bonds shall have such an endorsement upon them when [deposited?] as to destroy their negotiability, as long as they shall remain on deposit, with a provision that they cannot be taken out of the Treasurer's hands without an order of Court, which may be made at any time by the Judge in [vacation?] as well as as [illegible] [illegible] but to be entered arrears. We need this in order to prevent the bonds being stolen or abstracted. We have thus far been fortunate in having honest officers and clerks in the Treasurer's Office, but there is no security that this will continue so. 2nd.. We want to amend the law so as to require a redemption in Springfield or Chicago, at a fair rate, say from 1/2 to 1 percent discount. 3d. We want the law amended so that the formal liability clause may be made <hr /> available and in order to do this, we want the law so amended that no new bank can be established without the actual cash capital of at least $50,000 as required by the law. My opinion is that we should tax the bank for their actual capital, or presumed capital of $50,000 each and for any surplus of capital they may actually have, if any and for the circulation, if any, above actual capital, require them to pay into the State Treasury 1/2 of one percent. I think too, that the bond deposited for circulation should be confined to Illinois & U.S. Stock or nearly so, and the coupon upon the bonds of banks which have not a ten percent margin should be retained by the Auditor, or exchanged only for returned circulation until they have the same margin as the new banks. But after all, the main difficulty is that the banking law has been so construed as to encourage banking without capital and what we want is to frame the law as to encourage banking upon capital and discourage it where there is no capital. If the law was enforced requiring actual capital, and actual banks instead of more circulation machines, we should have less difficulty; but the provision of the 34th Section requiring the bank to report the debts owing to the association, and the date and amount of each bill or note discounted, and that the same should be published in a newspaper, without precluding any bank doing a discount <hr /> business. No bank would thus expose its own and customers affairs. This provision should be repealed. The Auditor and Treasurer should be made Bank Commissioners with a Superintendent to be the Chairman of the Board, and if you could appoint some man of as much decision of character as William [Thomas?], as Chairman of the Bank Commissioners who could see the law enforced, we could soon have our currency in right shape. It may be objected to this legislation that the banks have vested rights. This is not so, except in a few instances, as their [pretended?] capital, is all sham and their affidavits perjured, and they cannot resist liquidation in the enforcement of amendments. I am for making such amendments to the law as will secure the bill [illegible], and the public, and at the same time encourage banking. I think this can be done. I note what you say about the present national crisis. I hope you will recommend a revision of our militia laws and the maintenance in each county, and especially in our cities of sufficient military organizations to secure the enforcement of the laws and the suppression of mobs and illegal violence. I do not despair of so much of the Union <hr /> as can be of any use to us. If the Cotton States could get out of the Union peaceably and honorably, I am not sure that it would not be a great deal better for us. But the laws must be enforced, and it will not do for the Republican party to show any fear or weakness in the knees, or to back down at all. It is right, and upon its platform it can maintain itself. Any concessions or [illegible] will only destroy it, without doing any good to the country. If the South are not willing to abide by the Constitution as our fathers formed and administered it, let them quit, if they can; but let us do all we can to maintain and preserve our inheritance and escape the hole in which Tyler & Fillmore fell.

This is not so, except in a few instances, as their [pretended?] capital, is all sham and their affidavits perjured, and they cannot resist liquidation in the enforcement of amendments. I am for making such amendments to the law as will secure the bill [illegible], and the public, and at the same time encourage banking. I think this can be done. I note what you say about the present national crisis. I hope you will recommend a revision of our militia laws and the maintenance in each county, and especially in our cities of sufficient military organizations to secure the enforcement of the laws and the suppression of mobs and illegal violence. I do not despair of so much of the Union <hr /> as can be of any use to us. If the Cotton States could get out of the Union peaceably and honorably, I am not sure that it would not be a great deal better for us. But the laws must be enforced, and it will not do for the Republican party to show any fear or weakness in the knees, or to back down at all. It is right, and upon its platform it can maintain itself. Any concessions or [illegible] will only destroy it, without doing any good to the country. If the South are not willing to abide by the Constitution as our fathers formed and administered it, let them quit, if they can; but let us do all we can to maintain and preserve our inheritance and escape the hole in which Tyler & Fillmore fell.
