~ One of the meanest exhibitions of
Copperhead Democracy. was an order of
the New York City Concil. in the arrange
ment of Lincoin's funeral procession.
prohibiting negroes from joining in the
procession. The negroes are the truest
uourners Of the late President. for they
regard him as their Savior, and proba-
bly, bold his name in greater veneration
than that of Jesus Christ. This was q
splendid opportunity for the New York
rebels to cut the po,r negroes to the quick.
and they eagerly embraced 1t. Bu. Sec
retary Stanton promptly sent despatch
vetoing that piece of fun. and assigning
the colored societies prominent place in
the procession. The report ssys that the
negroes were applauded in the most ar
istocratic thoronghfares, as the procession
passed-not that the public had any IN,
due regard for the negroes, but they were
rejoiced at the defeat of rebel malice.

D We are glad that the public il begin

generous light than Il has done for sevef'
sl weeks psst. He 10 too good an ofi-
Ger. and has performed too grand work,
to be kicked aside sad abused because he
committed an error. That he made Tor

is no denying; but that be did it from
any wrong motive, We do not believe.
We have no doubt be thought be was
doing the very best thing in bis power
to restore pesce II there had been any
treschery in Sherman. or any design to

retreat from North Carolina unmolested.
Much emphasis is laid upon the predic.

E The New York Tribune Gays
" So far as we can see. party spirit has
been entirely extirguished by the sssss-
s'nation of President Lincoln" The Til.
bnne's eyesight must be remarkably good:
for no one else has vision acute enough
to "ses it," They can see vast amount
ofbypocrisy among Copperheads. to save
themselves from the wrath of an indig-
nsnt people; but when we daily hear Of
men being killed for expressing joy at
the death of Lincoln, it does not look
much as if party spirit were sxtinguisbed
unless the staying of such reptiles is
regarded in the light Of eztipsuishing
party spirit.
