RElESrtNG-Th Northern ,lespot has
shown signs of relenting, after q rather
guarded manner He has issued an
order for the release of all political
prisoners, upon their promise not to
aid the rebellion. He announces as a
reason for this that the rebellion is
"manifestly on tisc dcclne!' OF Il piece
with this CONSTRUCTED indication Of
clemenc. are tho declaration Of the
detachments of the Burnside, and other
expeditions. to the people Of the little
hanlets they visit, that they don't, mean
to disturb private proPorty-thcy
won't steal any more from tfhe people
they only want to get hold Of Coy
eenmcht storosl 4'he idea no doubt
comes from Scward-it is too shrewd
and cunning for Old Abe. Tho arch
traitor begins to think that persuasion
may do little better than force all the
time and everywhere. The alleged rca-
son for change of policy, of course is
mere faIshood Neither Seward nor
lincoln have the ihagnanimityto make
any concessions that are not extortcd
from them. For a falling or fallen foe
their tastes and malignitics would be
better suited by the most bloody re-
venge. The active use of the gibbct
and the axe would be far more agrsc-
able to them than acts Of clemency or
generel amnesty If they really though
the spirit of the South was giving way
they would order increased scvcrities
and brutaliticsA-a more widespread
and ihdiscririnate desolstien of South
erh hnmcs.-Concessioh from suc,i
men is the ever sure indication of their
weakness and fears. This is the only
rational solution of the sudden anita,
hility of o Government that has proved
itself so heartless and despotic. Like
a dilapidated and enfeebled 1cprobate
who contcmplates approaching dis
solution and endeavors to cheat the
devil by late repentance, Old Abe
seeks to avoid an apprehendcd retri-
button by doffing his animal instincts
and pretending to a very liberal degree
Of humanity and civilization. His feign
ing is q good sign for the South His
kindness shows our strength-his Gle
mency testifies to the power Of a foe
he has learned to respect, apd feeling
that he cannot overpower he has the
vanity to think he may win him by
artiiicc and dissimulation.

HALF MorRvrNG.- The recent ball in
Washington, in which Mrs. lincoln
figured in haIf-mourning, in imitation
OF the Courts of Europe, on occonnt of
the death of her royal cousin, Prince
Albert, was the finest imitation Of
high life below stairs that the capital
of Snobdom has yet exhibited This is
the first time that anything of the kind
has been ATTEMPTED in the United
States. We wonder if Old Abe appear
cd in haIf-mourning also, feat which
might be easily accomplished by wash
ing half Of his Black Republican face
for the first time in his life. He and ad-
mirers may have to go into full mourn
ing yet, color which will suit their
dingy compilations and sable chatac-
ters, as well as the t'tturc deatiry oF
their party and country,
