This perhaps was proper for the silly compll.

You will find in the Journal des Deba,, Of yesterday
oups letter wherein the writer undertakes what shall
not presume to explain this fact of silence An at.
tempted response to that article in La Pa,re is also
markable though not able. The respondent has the
characteristic erontery TO assert that Mr. Lincolns
procamatons for the abolition of Slavery received
with universal approya in France II it has been your
unhappy duty read La Pf,r for the past four years
you would have found queer approval Of Mr. Lincolns

Surely it seems rs if this scene were not new,
and that the scctnrics ot revolution In
Europe had arranged the horrible incidents Of the
crime long beforehand" Bur as il his own mad
ness without method did not inspire the editor of

A long almost insane letter from Camille dc Poiignac
N de Polgnac. in matresting the American question
in general and the question OF Mr. Lincolns murder IN
particular, makes much of the fact that he SPEAKS OF
what he knows By personal experience and observation
