stlnct OF mankind curses the assassin.
In our own grievous affliction there
is one lesson which those who direct
Ily address public opinion would do
twen to consider. Party malignity
in the Free States during the war has
not scrupled to defame the character
Of Mr. Lincoln. He has been de-
neunced as a despot, as a usurper.
As aman who arbitrarily annulled the
Constitution, as magistrate under
whose administration all the securI-
ties of liberty, property, and even
life, were deliberately disregarded
and imperiled. Political hostility
has been infamed into hate by the
assertion that he was responsible for
the war, and that he had opened all
the yawning graves and tumbled the
bloody victims in. This has been
done directly and Indirectly, openly
and cunningly. In time of neces-
sarily profound and painful excite
ment, to carry a party point, the po-
litical opponents of MIR. Lincoln have
said or insinuated or implied that he
had superseded the laws and ha3
made himself an autocrat. If any
dangerous plot has been exposed,
these organs of public opinion had
sneered at it as an invention of the
Administration. If theatres and ho-
tells full OF men, women, and chill
drenswere to be wantonly fred, the
friends of the Administration were
accused of cooking up an excitement.
If bloody riots and massacres occur
red, they were extenuated, and called
.'risings oil the people," as if in jus
tifahle vengeance, and as if the OPP
preston of the Government had
bronght them upon itself.
This appeal has been made in vari
Gus ways and in different degrees. A
great convention intimated t1at there
was danger that the elections would.
be oyerborne by Administration bay
onets. Judge Comstock, formerly of
the Court of Appeals in this State.
addressing crowd in Union Square,
declared that e a candidate for the
Presidency should be. defrauded of
his lection by military interference
he would be borne into the White
House by the hands of the people.
OF the Administration thus accused
of the basest conceivable Grim les Ara
ham Lincoln was the head. 3 II. there
were military despotism. in the
country, sssswas declared, he was The
despot. II there were tyranny, he
was the tyrant.
Is it surprising that somebody
should have believed all this, that
somebody should have said, if there
is a tyranny 1t can not be very Grim
inal to slay the tyrant, and that work
ing himself up to the due frenzy he
should strike the blow2 When It was
struck, when those kind eyes that
never looked sternly upon a human
being closed forever, and the assas-
sin sprang forward and cried, Sic
semper tyraHnjs, was it not ghastly
commentary upon those who had not
scrupled to teach that he was a,tyrant
who had annulled the law?
The lesson is terrible. Let us
hope that even party-spirit may be
tempered by this result of its natural
consequence:-Harpers Weekly.

A HISTORICAL CLOCK.

There is a clock at the Union Vol
unteer Refreshment Saloon, Phila-
delphia, made by soldiers who have
just returned from the Rebel prisons.
The handspring is made from the
blade of sabre which once belonged
to "Stonewall'' Jackson. The hands
are made of a toasting fork taken
from the kitchen of Vice President
Stephens. The wheels are made
from the mountings of carriages that
belonged to Rebels. The pillars
holding the frame together are made
of ramrods. Nearly all the parts are
taken from some article or other
picked up in the so-ealled Southern
Confederae7.

EMPLOY DISABLED SOLDIERS

Among the many enterprises so
liciting the attention of patriotism
and philanthropy, weregard the Bu-
reau of Employment for Disabled
Discharged Soldiers as among the
most necessary and deserving. We
esteem its object rather an act of
public justice than of charity. The
disabled soldiers of the Republic
have clear right-not to be supported
in idleness when they are able to
workout to the best wishes and
the active good offices of all citizens
in procuring for each of them oppor-
tunity to earn an honest livelihood.
If any of us has any work that a one
armed or one-Iegged veteran can do
as well as q sound man, then we
should give MANNED soldier pref
erence in hiring some one to 40 it,
And there is work enough for all oul
disabled brethren if we all keep them
in mind and give chance whenever
we can. Do not seek TO screw them
down to a pittance, but pay them
what YOU would give another for the
4 same service. Who could wish &c
profit by their misfortunes?

Our opinion is, that, lad the north

needful in civilized life and society,
should not be sent begging. Our
county in the beginning employed all
the available labor. There was no
pauperism, but all paid their way,
and the great majority thought even
to be rich, Independent and happy,
and the great consideration given for
all former prosperity in the county
was labor. Memory brings along
many happy incidents of life in our
county and the unequaled prosperity
OF our great country, but forecast

is a demon spirit in the land. If
Abraham Lincoln was too apt to
lean to the side of mercy and there

the deeds of wicked barbarism, we
think it time to strain the law to its
utmost power, and erorcise the spirit
that seeks to increase murder and
