ONCE IN A Lifetime.

So far as we can see or judge, party spirit has
been entirely extinguished by the assassination
of President Lincoln. There are of course In
veterate party hacks who still array themselye'
as Republicans or Democrats, and calculate the
chances Of party ascendancy or personal adj
yancement; but the great body Of our citizens
have no appetite, no thought for partisan
struggles So manifest is this fact that we re-
gret to see an intimation in The Herald that II
would not be safe to try the Washington assas
sins and their fellow-conspirators by the orii
nary tribunals, because Of
"the difficulty OF excluding from the jury,boH mel
who have syInpathzcd with Tie Rebellion. whose som
and relatives have served IN Rebel rsuks and who
whatever might be their regret al the course winch th'
assassin's bullet took, would have such sympahy io
his motive az lead them 10 pallae his act and Try
save him from its due penalty.
Now it is quite possible that the sympathy
with murder here asserted exists in Washington,
and we make no objection to the Cabinets de-
cisiOn TO try the assassins and their accomplcc'
by military tribunal. But The Hrad fails to
limit and localize its imputations, and thus re-
fleets unjustly on the character of our country

sination otherwise than as one Of the most COW

THE GOVERNORS CITY RAILROAD
VETO SUSTAINED.

We believe ourselves justified in hoping tina,
l the various City Horse Railroad and all other
| railroad schemes, now or recently pending be-
fore the Legislature, have received mortal blow
from GOV. Fenton'o veto Of the Dry Dock
and East Broadway Ralroad-exienson bill 81
This session. In the senate on last Friday, when
the Governors message refusing to sign this
measure, vas brought up for consideration. seven
Senators were in favor Of carrying it over hi-
veto, TO witt Allabcn of Delaware, Beach OF
Greene, Luke i. COINS and Thomas c. Fields
OF New-York, Ravens OF Essex, Andrews OF
Otsego and Hobbs Of Franklin. -Four Senators
did not vote at all, to wit: Angel Of Allegheny,
Chris. Il. Woodruff Of New-York, saxton smith
of Putnam. and, We think, but are not sure OF
this, Ames of Oswego.
For sustaining the admirable principles OF
economy and public integrity set forth in Gov.
Fcnton's veto, there were twenty-one Senators,
whose names We give, as follows: Senators
Murphy and Strong of Kings, Christie OF Rich
Imond. Laimbeer of New-York, butcher OF
Dutchess, Daniel II. Cole of Niagara, Tasting,
| of Rensselaer,, Low of Sullivan, Shaier of Al.
bany, Cook Of Saratoga, Bell Of Jefferson,
Humphrey of Erie, Allen of Chautauqne, Nun
ger Of Monroe, Cornell Of Tompldns, White Of
Onondaga, IIayt Of Steuben, Bailey of Oneida
Juland Of Chenango, Folger of Ontario and
WILLIAMS of Cayuga. 1t Is just possible that
Senator Ames may have voted for sustaining
| he veto, and that either Senators Cole OF
civilians may have been among the four absen
tees in his place; but We think our classification
is about right as il stands, but if not We shall b,
| Happy 10 correct il.

From a gentleman recently arrived from iia
vana we learn that serious but cautiously
guarded apprehenSions exist there OF an insur
rection among the slaves. 1t is said that large
deposits of arms have been found, and that
several negroes have been arrested. The plot
is said to embrace the slaves all over the Island,
and the Government is fearful of an outbreak
notwithstandingits premature discovery. Should
the precautions taken prevent rising, we shall
probably, as is usual in such cases, hear little
more about it. If otherwise il may lead to re-
Yoution of very momentOus CONSEQUENCES.

President is concerned, there is very general
desire to accord him generous confidence and
a cordial support. Our Democrats remember
that he was always o Democrat, and claims to

bring radical changes but to-day the Dem
ocrats of this section seem inclined to judge the
new President kindly, and to regard his Admin
isration with favor and hope.
Now, therefore, is the golden moment, If the
addressers and haranguers will but leave LIN
unbored for few days, so as to give him fan
chance to mature and develop his plan OF Ike

States at bis back, as no President since Monroe
has had them. he can carry thousands for
definite, vigorous policy who would have OPP
posed that identical course if propoundcd by hl'
lamented predecessor. Let us trust that The
great opportunity will not pass unimproyed.
We are not urging that his policy should b'
lenient or otherwise, though our opinion on thu
point is decided and well known: what we urge
is simply that bis programme be so full anc
definite that il cannot well be misrepresented
or mistaken. Ii he sees reason to except few OF
many from his profers of amnesty to the sub
missiye, let them be so clearly distinguished
that there shall no longer be many alarmed fol
every one who is really threatened. Let those
who have aught to gain by submitting promptly
to the National authority know the fact, so that
the formation Of distinctly loyal party among
those lately in open rebellion may begin a'
speedily and its growth proceed as rapidly az
may be. 1.-The South" knows itself beaten IL

and who are to gain it, by prompt and hearty
submission to the National authority. We have
