The conviction is gsining ground in
Europe, as well as in this coun ~, that
there must come from our great struggle
something to compensate mankind for the
great loss Of life and treasure inflicted up
on this nation by our civil war. This
conclusion is being reached by men in
high places whose friendliness toward
the republic, we have seriously doubted.
In recent speech Of Earl Russell's he
says: at may be that the result Of this
contest the beginning Of which We all
deplored, the continuance Of which We all
regret-it may Be that the end Of this eontsst
may see tkas sia, that crime, that detsStdbIs

In 6 card printed in the New York

nails protest against the action Of the Gov
ernnsnt in suppressing their pspsrs.-
The following explanation is made by
Q them:
The document in question was written
on their manifold paper, such as is used
for ell the dispatches sent to the several
newspapers Of cur Association, and had
ali the external appearance and mark to
identify it ss s genuine dispatch arriving
in the regular course Of business
II was delivered at our Office late at
night, at the time Of the receipt of our
latest news, TOO late. Of course, for edito-
nal supervision, but, as It happened, net
before our printing Offices we're closed.
II was delivered ct al, or nearly all, of
the newspaper Offices, and was published
IN part Of the morning editions Of the
Journal Of Commerce and World, and, IS
We are informed, in part Of the editions Of
one OF more Of our Contemporaries.
Early this morning the fact that the
dispatch had not been sept by the AGENT
Of the Associated Press becsme known to
DC, and its fraudulent character Wss at
once announced upon our bulletin boards,
and reward Of $1,000 was offered Dy US
for the discovery Of the forger.
The Executive Committee Of the Associ.
ated Press also offered similar reward Of
$1,000.

Ths Eorrsd ProeIan.tIsn.

The manner in which the forged Prools'
nation found its way into the New York
papers shows that the whole affair was .
miserable COppsrhssa sshsHs to make
money. The object; undoubtedly, was to
stimulate the Confederate stocks in Eng
land and to advance gold here.
The denial Of the Proclamation went with
It inthe steamer to Europe, 50 that # csn
have but temporary eject upon finances,
although the Proclamation will be read
by many who viii never see the contra
dictiOn
We do not think, from ali the oircum-
stances in the case, that the journals sup
pressed, knowingly published it as for
gerry. Newspaper men readily understand
how . spurious document might get into
9 newspaper st the latest moment Of going
to press. We trust therefore, that the
restrictions on the World ard Journal Of
Commerce will be removed.

Of the Gulf States. Its railroad connec.

the country has always been rooted in the

aSwsll IS early action in opposition to the
institution was on the part Of the churches.
This vindiOstiOn Of the rights Of man, has
continued to be q characteristic Of North.

progress are herecent action Of the Metho-

gently expressed b. Bishop MeIlvaine in
