An Important Suit for Damages.

An interesting suit for damages has been
lately decided in the Supreme Court at
Boston, Mass. 1t is that Of Leonard Stur-
tevant against Aaron II, Allen, and the ac-
ton is to recover $4,000 against the de-
fendant for an alleged accusation Of disloy-

plaintiff in Fort Lafayette. The declaration
sets forth that in August, 1861, the defend

and Scccssionist;" that he was thus caused

President Johnson's Policy.

In the measures of Mr.. JOHNSON, Dem
ocrats are interested in one instance, to the
extent Of desiring that justice and not re-
venge shall be the policy governing the
treatment of leading rebels Democrats no.
where object to the administration of such
punishment as will bestconscrve represent
and future interests Of the republic but
they do object to any punishment which is
conceived in hate and has no other end
than vengeance. If Mr. JOHNSON will
make himself the advocate of the former,
and will administer justice tempered with
mercy, and will act always for the good of
the whole country, he will find no more
nrdant supporters than Democrats. In rep
resenting the whole country, and in repudi-
ating fanatical minorties, he will also repre-
sent the principles of the Democratic party.

What Next (?

One of the striking features of the fu-
neral procession yesterday was the applause
showerod upon the representatives of the
colorcd race upon the line of march in the
weathicr parts of the city. Tho scene in
Fifth Avenue was one continued ovation
to the niggors who were compelled to keep
their heads uncovered for miles in acknowl-
edgcment of the plauditS Of the male spec
tators and the waving of handkerchiets of
the Indies in the windows. A queer city is
New York. Less than two years since for
one entire week it was as much as II niger
life was worth TO be seen in the streets,
while now they are on the most utmost
wave of fashionable favor What next ?

Most Infamous.

The Sandusky Register and some other
sheets of the same character declare that the
copperheads' rejoice over the death of Mr.
Lincoln The lie is most Infamous. No
Democrat reioices over assassination--no
Democrat feels glad that Mr.. Lncolns dead
They never endorsed his policy, or his
measures, but they were rejoicing over his
evident purpose of restoring peace-over his
disposition to be lenient-when the news OF
his death came upon them. 1t shroudcd
them with gloom. They love their country
they want Union and Peace-aud they
dread the hands into which the Governmcn
must so more than they did that of Lincoln
Hence they have no cause to rejoice ol
the other hand every reason to be sorry. -
