IRRESPONSIBLE PA RAGRAP HS.

We published the other day news
paragraph that Mrs. Lincoln had order
ed in Zwickau, Germany, monument
for the grave of herliusband, our late la
mented President. The paragraph, ac-
cording to our recollection, first appeared
in the London correspondence of the
Cincinnati Gazette We now learn that
there is no foundation for the statement.
Mrs. Lincoln has ordered no monume nt
for the grave of her husband, nor does
she intend 10 do so. She has left that
work in tao hands ofthe Lincoln Monu-
ment Association at Springfield.
1t has transpired that the prisoner
recently brought from the South, under
eircumstanccsof great mystery and incar-
ce;ated in the Old Capital prison, Is a

greatest among Union prisoners. He
was arrested in Florida.

"BRITIsH FRIENDsHIP"-PALM
TON WANTED WAR. In the November
number of BldckWO0d's Mdgdzine-
which has ever been an enemy of the
cause Of the Union-is published the fol
lowing relative to the late Lord Pal
merston and America:
The first of these occasions was the
Trent affair, on which ID is now no lon
ger secret that Lord Palmerston made
UP his mind to go to war with the Fed
eral States. He had born with impa-
thence the bullying and insolence of
United America on many occasions, and
saw, with the clearness of his earlier
years, that the opportunity was at length
offered of putting stop to this bullying
| in time to come. The Emperor of the
French, equally long sighted, agreed
with Lord Palmerston, and had there
| not been with him in the Cabinet men
| to whom the thought of war under any
circumstances is dreadful, the message
sent TO Washington would have required
q short and categorical answer, because
| fleet equipped for action, would have
escorted it to the mouth of the Chesa-
pealSe. In the Cabinet, however, there
sat at the time not only Mr.. Gladstone.
Mr.. Minor Gibson and Mr.. Villers; but
Sir George Cornewall Lewis, the most
subtle Of political reasoners, the NEST
pacific of Ministers--one who could
never be brought to see that in the
| lives of nations, as in those of private
| persons, there are moments when though
it can never be becoming to do wrong
for its own sake, it is perfectly justili-
able to anticipate others, and to avert an
injury meditated against ourselves by
lnnictlng 1t on them. We had. when
the outrage on Trent was committed, 6
long list OF Outrages to be accounted for
We had been cheated-for there is NJ
other word for tin the AshburtoI
treaty. The States claimed as their own
territory what they had i'm their posses
sion the clearest proof belonged to us;
and, as if to cap this outrage, the island
of st. Juan, admitted to be ours up to tie
moment of its occupation by an Ameri-
can force, was invaded and Kept military
possession of. These, with other lesser,
but not, therefore, unimportant wrongs,
ranked and festered, and the Trent out
rage presented such an opportunity az
] could never be expected to occur again
for Fighting them all by process which
would have benefited the whole world.
Had we struck then, as Lord Palmerston
was anxious that we should do, the
Southern States would have achieved
their independence, and become to US
faithful allies, as well as our very bes
customers. But section in the Cabine
objected. Lord Palmerston gave way
and we are, with the Federals victori
Gus, conducting through Lord Russell
one of the most vexatious, and we fea
most unsafe, correspondences that eve
the Minister of one Power was callet
upon to conduct with the Minister o
another.

Cor Hamphreys Governor elect ia .tsoa, Hiss:
The troops will he withdrawn from
Mississippi when in the opinion of the
government peace and order and the
civil authority has been restored and
can be maintained without them. Every
step will be taken while they are there
to enforce strict discipline and subordi-
nation to the civil authority.
There can be no other or greater as
surance given than has heretofore heen
on the part of the President or govern
ment. There is no concession required
on the part of the people of Mississippi
or the Legislature, other than loyal
compliance with the laws and consttn-
ton of the United States, and the adop-
ton of such measures giving protection
to all freedmen or frepmen, in person and
property, without regard to color, as will
| entitle them to resume all their consti
| tutional relations i'm the Federal Union
The peple of Mississippi may feal wei
assured that there is no disposition arbi
trarily on the part of the Government
to dictate what action should be had
ly advise a policy that is believed will
result in restoring all the relations which
should exist between the states compos-
ing the Federal Union.
1t is hoped that they will feel and APP
prcciate the suggestions herein made
for they are offered in that spirit which
should pervade the bosom of all those
who desire peace and harmony and a
thorough restoration of the Union.
There must be confidence between the
Government and the states while the
Government eonfides in the people, the
people must have faith in the Govern.

rOcal, or all that has been done will be
thrown away. ANDREW JOHNSON,

THE OTERo MURDER-THE PRIs-
oNER PELIICER IDENTIFIED.-The man
Pellicer, who is now confined in the
Forty-fourth precinct (Brooklyn) sta
ton house on the charge of having been
implicated in the murder of Mr.. Otero,
was visited by young Spaniard nained
Juan Nele, boarder at the Hotel dc
Cuba, who recognized Pellicer, said that
he had furnished him money for ten
days, in consequence of the latter hav-
ing been out of employment and IN
needy circumstances. Veie also said
that some days ago he had invited seve--
raj ladies to attend the theatre, and
wished Pellicer to go along. In order TO
make him look well, Vele bought him
pair of gloves, and he recognized the
gloves found by the police, and which
were cut across the fingers, as those he
bought. Mr.. Vele said that he had seen
Pellicer and Gonzales together in close
conversation and that on the night of
the murder Gonzales, Pellicer and Otero
visited the Hotel de Cuba and left it to-
gether PelIicer was not seen at tie
hotel after that evening. The prisoner
denies any knowledge of the murder
Another important link in the chain
of evidence against the Spaniard Pelli-
Ger came 10 light in Brooklyn this morn
ing. On the evening of the murder
man named John Phillips was sitting
in Evans drinking house, on the corner
of Myrtle avenue and Canton street, and
about nine o'clock two men, one oil
whom he recognized as Otero, the MUIR
dered man, came in and had two drinks,
talking all the time volubly, In Spanish
They were soon joined by man who
wore cloak and the three men then
Il l. W.
ing for all the liquor. About a quarter
past nine clock the three men left the
store together, and went i'm the direc-
ion of the park, where the murder was
committed. Mr.. Phillips has identified
Pclicer rs one of the men who was
with Otcro in the store on that occasion,
and says he can identify the other.

ONE YEAR AGO.

What stars have faded from onr sky
What hopes unfolded but to die
What dreams 80 londly pondered DER,
Forever lost the hues they wore
How like deathknell, sad and slow
Tolls through the soul zone year ago :"
Where is the face We loved to greet,
The form that graced the fireside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our life path day by day
Where fed those accents soft and low
That thrilled our hearts zone year agoi"
All vacant is the fresiIe chair
The smile that won no longer there
from door and hall from porch and lawn,
The echo of tie voice Is gone,
And We who linger only know
How much was lost zone year ago y
Beside her grave the marble White
Keeps silent guard by day and night
Serene she sleeps, nor heels the tread
Oh footsteps o'er her Iowly bed;
Her pulseless broagt 10 more may know
The pangs of life zone year ago.
But why repinei few me.0 years,
A few more broken signs and tears,
And We, enlisted with the dead,
Shall follow where her steps have fed;
10 that far world rejoicing go
To which she passed zone year ago !"

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

We give, in this paper, enough of
tho history of the recent Peace Con
ference ESQ called) to afford the reader
q satisfactory understanding of its per-
formanccs. Our President met the
exigcncy presented by the occasion, in
a manner worthy the head of mighty
nation. None who have faithfully
watched and fairly understood his
course in all difficult situations hereto
fore, ever had any misgivings in relo. .
tion to his probable dealings with the
question he has just met. Wo hope
the Congressional and othcr grannies
who vcrc 30 tremblingly fearful lest
tho Union cause should be "sola out, "
or the "honor of tho Nation compro-
miscd" by tho President, now feel a
littlo easier. This people will learn,
after o while, that Abraham Lincoln
may safely be trusted to act non hie
own judgment, in any emergency tina,
ca1 possibly present itself, concerning
the welfare OF his country.
