New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1865-05-13

Our attention has been called to the assertion
of a Washington letter-writer that Mrs. LIN
coin has saved $4,000 out of the four years
salary Of the late President. 1t is to DC re-
GREETED that such random and thoughtless state
ments should be made, as they may prevent
some persons from contributing to the fund
now collecting in dollar subscriptions
as popular gift to Mrs. Lincoln and her iaml'
ly. The sum proposed to BIO raised-Sloo,ooo
is not a large one, considering the source
from whence it comes and the occasion which
calls for it. 1t is not charity, but Is the spon-
taneous gift of Nation which most sincerely
mourns its own loss and sympathizes with a
family SO suddenly and so cruelty deprived oiit
natural protector. Mr.. Lincoln, it is well known,
went to Washington poor man, and anybody
who knows the expense of living in that city,
the imperative demands which his necessary
state makes upon the President, the willing ear
which he always lent to the constant appeals
made to him for relief, and the open
|hand with which they were always an
swered. knows that Mr. Lincoln must
have been as poor man at the time OF his
death as Oh the day he entered the White House.
At all events ire know it, and therefore we urge
again upon the people that they shall be prompt
! in paying to his family the sum which would
Ihave been his had he lived the remainder OF IN;
tterm.
Ii is quite unnecessary to say to our own CIT
Liens, to whom the Treasurer of this Fund IL
well known, andlwho has consented to take up
on himself the great labor Of receiving it, that il
scould not be in better hands. Our friends out
side of the city will take our word for it. And i
lis not improper to add, to a perfect
understanding of the matter, that however
Slarge the sum raised may be, it is proposed thai
/ 100, 600, and that amount only, shall be ap
lproprated to the use of the family of the late
President This will be judiciousy and safely
Invested, the income TO be used for the purpose
Proposed. Should the sum exceed tina
amount the surplus will DO used as wis
and good men, in whom the publ
can confde, shall decide, in some proper wa
4 that shall be both a fitting memorial of MI
Lincoln and wise charity for some class G
Ipersons who need to be supported. The sub
jet is one which should not, and, we trust, doe
not need to be talked about. The spontanicty o
the gift viii be half its value, and we hope be
fore another week has passed to be able to an
inounce that q generous people have fully re
sponded to the appeal that has been made them

TARTAREAN PAVEMENT.

The N. y. Times, having at first swelled tn,
unanimous protest Of our City journals evoked
by Secretary Stanton's Star-chamber proceeding
against those accused Of completely with thu
assassination Of President Lincoln, now Seems
disposed to qualify that protest by wholly
irrelevant demur that its recorded condemnation
Of this Secret Military Trial
should not be understood inpeachng IN any degree
the motives Of the Government In the action il ha
taken"
Certainly not. Let the exception be duly
noted. But the vital question does not con
Icern motives, but acts means and ends. The
motives Of those who made the blunder, like
those Of The Times in demonstrating against it,
were unquestionably good. And the reinon
STRANGE should be reiterated and emphasized, SC
that good motives may never again mislead
our rulers so deplorably.
Our new President has been induced by the
magnates Of the War Department to charge
JEFF. Davis, c. c. Clay & Co. with participa-
tion IN the conspiracy which eliminated in the
murder of President Lincoln, and to offer there
upon large rewards for their arrest and delivery.
The. evidence wherein this charge is based is
locked up, for the present in the Bureau Of
Military Justice. The trial ofthose already ar
rested is expected to increase and strengthen
this evidence. 1t has become, therefore, Of
National importance that this testimony shall
be so elected that it will command universal
credence. II will not suffice that it be credited
by those predisposed to believe it; it must
Silence cavils and confound gainsayers. viii it
satisfy these requirements if taken in secret,
before a Military tribunal, with no record but
that Of the official reporters, and no earlier or
other publicity than that which the War De.
partment shall see fit to give itl The question
suggests its own answer.
On Thursday, The Times forcibly and per-
tinently said:
1--WE cannot help saying that Is for various wciskty
reasons be regretted that their capture THAT Of the
fagitves for whom great rewards have hesn offered
be made the pretext occasion OF introducing into
criminal procedure extraordinary anomaly trial

ecssa door. and with an oath Of secrecy imposed

It would have been infinitely better 10 have postponed

1860 contributions from all the slave States,
and yet all of them report this year, when only
|she loyal states could contribute, a larger in
como than in 1860. The Boston American
Tract Society, which in 1860 was as decidedly
Slavery as it is now, has had its receipts
nearly tripled.
Much greater than their financial progress, is
the advance of all these societies in their rea-
ton to the Slavery question. Up to the begin
lining of the war, Encouragement Of three OF these
societies was in the hands of conservative men,
who deemed it indispensable for the success OF
their operations not TO give the least offense to
the pro-Slavery churches Of the South. The
laws which forbade the instruction OF slaves, to-
gether with all the other infamous slave
laws, were scrupulously respected; and while
great and noble efforts were made for the en-
ghtenment of foreign barbarians. the greater
claims of our slave population were entirely
dsregarded. SO far did this subserviency to
the Southern shareholders go, that the Amer
lean Tract Society in 1860 refused to adopt a
resolution proposed by the Rev. Mr. Walcot OF
Chicago, declaring in favor Of the publication
of works against the reopening of the African
slaye-trade.
II is due to the majority of tho conservative
leaders of these societies to state that the Slave
holders Rebellion has opened their eyes as to
the expedency of compromising with the slave
power All these associations have, m the
course of the four last years, passed strongreSo-
lutions expressive of their loyalty to the Gov
eminent and of their opposition to Slavery;
and. what is more efficient, they have begun to
cooperate in earnest in the education OF
the Southern negroes. More than this: the
anniversaries of the present year established
l the gratifying fact that the leading spirits ana
active members of all these societies are now
decidedly in favor of terminating forever the
wrong so long inflicted upon the colored race,
| by putting them on a full equality with the
whites before the law.
The impression produced by the proceedings
of the religious anniversaries is strengthened by
an observation of the attitude Of the religion;
press Of the country. The denunciation Of
those Journals and OF the churches by those still
in sympathy with the South, is in itself Sui
fcent proof that the churches are now moving
in the right direction. If the progressive party
is not yet i'll the ascendency in all the American
churches, it is growing stronger i'll each, ant
we confidently hope that in our last great battle
for universal freedom and the equality Of o.
men before the civil law the majority of th
American churches will fight on the right side.
