The Lesson OF the Murder.


We commend to the attention of onr
readers the following, which we clip
from the editorial columns of Harper s
Weekly. 1t may be of especial interest
to those who echoed the rawlings of the
La Crosse Democrat. and also to those
who drew and approved the Infamous
resolutions passed at the County Seat of
this County, in the spring of 1868.
In our own grievous affection there is
one lesson which Those who directly ad-
lres. public opinion would do well to
consider. Party maIiguity in the Free
States during the war has not scrnpled
~ tfgraue tho ,l.,,r~1ter of Nj. I'M
COLIN. He has baen denounced rs
depot. as a usurper, rs man who
arbitrarily annulled the Constitution, as
magistrate under whose admInistra-
ton all the securities of liberty, property
and even life, were deliberately disrs-
qua ded and imperiled. Political hos
tility has been infiamed into hate 10y
tue assertion that no was responsible for
Tho wa. and that he had opened all
the yawning graves and tumbied the
blnoiv victims in. This has been done
lirect V aud indirectly, openly AMI Gun
n nglr. In TN. f &c .,sarily pro-
found and painful excitement, to carry
parry point, the political opponents
nf Mr.. LINCoLs have said or Insulated
or implied that he had superseded the
laws and made himself sn autocrat. If
any dangerous plot has been exposed,
these organs of pub c p Mon have sneer-
ed at it IA an invention of the Admin.
str Ition. Ii theatres and hotels full of
men, women, and children were to be
wantonlv fired, the frienis of the Ad-
ninistration were accused of cooking up
an excitement. If bloody riots aud
massacres occurred, they were extcnuated
and called "risings of the pc pie" as
{ in justifisbls vengeance, and as if the
oppression Of the Government had bret
them upon Itself. This appeal has been
made in various ways and 10 different
egrees A great convention minated
that there was danger that the elections
would be overborne bv Administration
bayone,s. Judge CoMsTocs, formerly
of the Court Of Appeals in this Stale,
addressing crowd in Union Square,
declared that if candidate for The Pres
aiency should be defranded Of his cleo
ton by military interference he would
be borne into the White House bv the
hands of the people. OF the Adminis;ra
ton thus accused of the bases, conceiva
b!s crimes ABRAHAM LINCOLN was the
head If there were military despot
'm in the country. rs was declared. be
was the despot. If there were tyranny
he wss the tyrant.
l. it surprising that somebody should
have believed all this. that somebody
should have said, ifthere is tyranny
L can no; be very criminal to STAY the
tyrant, and that working himself up
to the due frenzy be should strike the
blowi When it was struck, when those
krd eyes that never looked sternly upon
human being closed forever. and the
assassin sprang forward and cried, Sic
se'Rper tyrraanis, WAS it not CHASTITY
commentary upon those who had not
>crhpled to teach thqt he Was tyrant
who bad annulled the law?
TIE lesson is terrible. Let us hope
that even party spirit may be tempered
by lhis result of its natural consequence.

The News.

surrender, and was shot. He lived about
two hours after he was shot. and die'l

Several others implicated in the conspir-
acv have been arrested, and it is proba

Johnston has surrendered his entire
army to Sherman on the same terms on
which Lee surrendered to Grant. Johns
tom. command embraced all the rebel

Georgia and Florida. There is no rebel
army now in existence except the one
under Gen. Kirby Smith, in Texas and
this will doubtless now surrender.
