Protest Against the Shedding Of
More Blood.

The Catholic Telegraph, ajournal that gave
efficient support to the policy and re-elec-
tion of President LINCOLN, in its issue of
the 18th gave the following admirable ed
itorial to the public:
BE MoDERATE.-There is painful flip
pancy in existence that should cease. We
allude to the talk about more blood being
split. Senseless individuals can very easily
blurt out, "hang him !" ''shoot himl" This
is madness, and should be frowned upon by
every friend of justice and order.
1t may seem very patriotic to talk loudly
of what certain person would do if he had
had the power; but we beg to remind the
excitable that their noise and bluster will do
no good. The question for all to consider
is was Mr.. Lincoln humane, kind and for
giving, or inhuman, harsh and bloodthirs-
ty? We know that his bitterest opponent
must confess that he was the former.--
If he was, we know he was, the best
way to honor his memory is to cling
to his principles, and practice that tol
Grafton and humanity which have so
pre-eminently distinguished him as the
Executive of this nation. We deplore his
death as deeply as any one in the country,
and think that those Zealots who are calling
for more blood are doing more to tarnish
the fame OF the land he served, and whose
flag he triumphantly carried through the
terrible fires of civilwar, than the culprits
who inaugurated the war.
If the advocates of ''hang him" will de-
vote few days to the history of other
countries they will find that martyr-mak-
ing is a dangerous and improbable busi-
ness. And in country like ours, where
parties are so evenly balanced, it is wisdom
to pause before such an inhuman, anti-Lin-
coin and un-American system is initiated.
On the 10Th inst, certain parties are to
be hanged in indianapolis. We know
nothing of the merits of their case, but
we do know that Mr.. Lincoln, if he
lived, would neuer sign their death ,oarTants
If they ,oere c,ademned By thousand
military commissions. Perhaps when they
are in their graves, and their babes ask
ing their mothers for the bread which she
cannot give them, the legality of this mod
ern, expensive system of judicature may be
stripped of its borrowed feathers by some
earnest and brave advocate who is now pre-
pairing himself for the contest-for the ami
hilatiOn of tribunal that, before its extin-
guishment may condemn the foremost of
its advocates. -a- w.
Again we adjure the admirers of Mr.. Lin
coin to cling to his principles, to emulate
him in being humane, kind, and the earnest
friend of law and justice.

The suItana Disaster.

Mr.. J.J. Witzig, Supervising Inspector
of Steamboats,, returned Sunday night,
from Memphis, whittier he went to investi-
gate the causes of the Su!tana disaster. Mr..
w. proceeded to the sunken steamer and
picked up portion of the boiler, speci-
men of which he brings home with him.
His report, which has been the result of q
very thorough investigation of the facts
connected with the disaster, will be ready
for publication in day or two.
We understand that it will be shown that
the First Engineer is responsible for allow
ing the boiler to burn and in permitting
the steamer to leave Vicksburg with the
boilers in an unsafe condition. His license
has been ordered, by the Supervisory In
spector, to be revoked. .q- ..
The Captain of the Inflated steamer, 1t is
said, also violated the law in receiving on
board over three hundred and seventy-six
passengers, that being the number above
which he was not authorized to carry. But
If the Quartermaster, against the remon-
STRANGE of the Captain, ordered the latter to
take an excess of passengers aboard, the
Quartermaster himself becomes responsible,
on that account, to the military authorities,
For the solving of these questions, we await
the publication Of Mr.. WIS report.-St

The capture of Jefferson Davis and his
attendants will create much sensation. The
whole rebellion-its head and front-is now
in the hands of the Federal Government
and subject to its will. The responsibility
late events have devolyed upon the Presi-
dent is immense. and it will require the ex-
ercise of the highest qualities of statesman
ship to enable him to discharge his duties
with that sole regard tor the honor and in
terests of his whole country, and the de-
mands OF justice, which should, and we be-
lieve will govern his action. 1t is said that
it requires more wisdom to bear prosperity
becomingly than it does to sustain adversity
manfully. The, test is now upon us, and as
we act in this great trial of our civilization
? and the stern demands of equity, so Will our
future be, and so will our posterity be blest
or cursed, and our history honored or de-
spised by the whole world In ages to come

Suicide of a WelI-Known Ohionn.

The Toledo Commercial of May l6, gives
the particulars of the suicide of we'll
known young lawyer of northern Ohio,
George NJ. Baxter, of Lima, Ohio. Mr.. B.
was a delegate to the last National Demo-
cratic Convention, and was young gentle
man of fair talents:o '
yesterday George NJ. Baxter, lawyer
residing at Lima, and who, during the past
week, was attending Court at Napoleon,
Henry county, committed suicide in this
city. About p. M. he entered the shop of
Mr.. Kelly, blacksmith, Summit street, and
borrowed knife with the avowed object of
mending his wagon; he rushed from the
shop in state of excitement, followed by
Mr.. Kelly and another, who noticed his
strange appearance; he plunged the knife
into his heart before his pursuers could
overtake him, crying out at the same time,
"You are too late,r and then threw himself
into the river at the rear of DR.. Clarke's
block. Boats were at once put out, but
when the unfortunate man was taken up,
life was extinct. At the Coroner's inquest
it was elected that he had written to his
wife from the Oliver House shortly before
the commission of the deed. A verdict in
accordance with the circumstances was re-
turned" '"r ~ /

Threatened Negro HnsrrrectiOn i'm
the Island of Cuba-Alarming
Prevalence of Incendiary Fires.
[From The Jamaica Colonial Standard ]

From The Jamaica Colonial STANDARD
From conversation which we have had
with gentleman who returned to this city
from Cuba in the Jamaica packet, we learn
that matters in Cuba had begun to assume
very threatening aspect. There was evil
IDENTIFY deep and very bitter feeling of re-
venge slumbering among the negroes,
which only awaited favorable moment to
burst forth with immeasurable fury. AL
ready had several estates been burnt by the
torch of the incendiary, and so deep and ST.
lent was the plot which had been laid for
carrying out the acts of incendiarism that
no clue to the perpetrators had as yet been
discovered. At Guantanamo, where the
first two fires occurred, an overseer of
large property had been murdered, and two
companies of troops had been sent thither
from st. Jago in order to repress any at
tempt at rebellion. On the departure from
st. Jago, on the evening of the 22d of March,
of the Jamaica packet, two large fires were
plainly seen from her deck. Little doubt
is entertained by our informant that they
will be found to have been owing to further
acts of incendiarism. Our next advices
from Cuba, then, may be anxiously looked
for, although the Government Is most
watchful in keeping from the public the
least information which might give clue
to the present widespread disatfection.

On Monday Gen. STEEDMAN arrived at
his home in Toledo, en- route for Washing
ton, whittier 1t is reported he was Invited
by President JOHNSON to consult upon the
best means Of restoring civil Government
In Georgia and Alabama. On Tuesday
morning Gen. STEEDMAN addressed the To-
ledo Board of Trade. He spoke in high
praise OF President JOHNSON, and then gave
his views on the subject of the restoration
OF civil authority in the South. Touching
this heis thus reported by The Toledo Blade,
administration
"The General spoke at some length upon
the subject of restoration of civil authority
In the South, and made many suggestions
which met the hearty approval OF his hear
ers. Among other points made, iods the CLAIM,
,ohich The gallant cOlored heroes Of The todr had
to the right Of suffrage and a Coice IN the cork.
He bore the most emphatic testimony. based
upon personal knowledge, to the gallantry
of the colored soldiers, and to the fidelity of
the blacks generally. He did not hesitate
to declare that but for the assistance which
our cause received from this race, our arms
never could have made the progress which
has so astonished the world. In the battle
of Nashville his division comprised brig
ade of 1,400 colored troops, of whom 42O
fell within fifteen minutes. Heknew them
to be brave and true, and il ,oould be a last
ing shame 10 deny the ballot 10 men ,cho had
done so much for their country. Men who have
proved true in camp, on picket and on field
of battle, can be trusted at the polls"
To extreme Abolitionists, the Generals
position on the question of colored suffrage
will certainly be highly satisfactory. How
do Gov. BRoUGH and Mr.. GALLOWAY stand
on this question? They will be under the
necessity of declaring themselves fully and
explicitly. In order to head the General
of, they may find it to their advantage to
take ground in favor of giving the privil-
ege of suffrage to all the colored men,
whether they are "heroes" or not. There is
this to be said in Mr.. GALLowAY's favor: he
was an Abolitionist when Gen. STEEDMAN
and Gov. BRoUGH were using all their abil'
ity and influence to:render the Aboltlonist:
objects of reproach.

A Speech by Ex-President FIJI.

At the monthly meeting of the Buffalo
Historical Society, held on the 9th of May,
instant, Hon. Millard Fillmore, President OF
the Society, spoke OF the late national be-
reavement, and added:
But while / express my sense of the great
loss which this country has sustained IN the
death of President Lincoln at this particu-
lar iuncture, would not be understood as
implying a want of confidence In his sue
cessor. can sympathize with him in the
embarrassments with,which he is surround
ed, and the difficulties which he has to en-
counter i'm being thus suddenly called to the
helm of State, amid the perilous storm of
an unparalleled rebellion. Itappears to me
that the storm has nearly spent its fury, and
the angry waves are gradually subsiding,
many a dark spot. This fact adds greatly
to the labors and responsibilities OF the
Government. Craftsmanship must now
take the place of arms. ..q.., :.
But yet have hope. From all that /
know of President Johnson i think he has
talent and integrity, and If he will hear and
then follow the dictates OF his own good
sense and calm judgment, without preju-
dice or passion, he will succeed.
The first caution he has to observe Is to
steer clear of the factions that are trying to
get possession of him for their own selfish
purpose-to carry out some favorite theory
Of reconstruction, or to crafty some feeling
of revenge.
1 am happy to see that he receives all po-
litely, but Keeps his own counsel, and has
the prudence and good sense not to commit
himself in off hand speeches as to his future
policy, but leaves himself at liberty, after
dueconsideration, to take advantage of cir
cumstances as they arise.
In my humble opinion, he who controls
the destinies of a nation, especially at a
time like. this, should never indicate his
future policy until 1t is fully matured in
cabinet council, and he is ready to put 1t in
operation; nor should he promise an Office
until he is ready to confer It.
While, therefore, we justly deplore the
loss of President Lincoln, let us never des-
pair of the republic, but rally around his
successor, regardless OF past differences or
party perjudices and do all we can to-sus-
tain him, so long as he maintains the con-
stitution and laws of our common country.
Let us remember, amidst all our griefs and
disappointments, that there is an unerEng
Providence that governs this world, and
that no one man is indispensable to ma
tion's life; and let us look hopefully for the
rainbow of peace that will surely succeed
the storm If we do our own duty. hope
the resolution will be adopted. 37 sl
