EnIroR REPORTER Il would be glad to
hear through the columns of your paper, your
opinion in regard to our duty christian COM
mguty to those vile wretches, wearing the garb of
NELL vet so devoid of all decency, morality and
,lrespect, to rejoice at the death of the Presi
Ient We have in our vicinity, and l fear such are
to be found all through country, characters,
and some of them following profession and look
ing to community for support and patronage, who
re guilty of expressions like the following ''Well
,l Lincoln is dead, and Tn, glad of it he ought
10 have been dead long ago" The same inter
srSed with oaths too horrible to mention futtered
ou the death of a dumb brute, and much less when
1 uttered in regard to one of the best and purest
men that ever lived. Now the question with me
is and | consider it of Importance, shodd such
persons rtceire the support and patronage of a
christian community? l for one although | differ
with some of my good pious neighbors, think they
should not, and | go further, | think that they
should not even be treated with common civility
until they have thoroughly reformed both in word
I and in deed
I'VE hardly feel competent to give the advice our
correspondent asks for. We do not approve of
lynch law nor unlawful violence, but notice
that throughout the country swift punishment has
overtaken the wretches who have outraged the feel
inas Of communities by untimely exhibitions of
Joy amidst the general grief, and we notice also
that such demonstrations are received by the coun
try with satisfaction, and the popular verdict is
served him right j

The combined forces Of the French and the
Mexican Church Party have. succeeded in over
powering the legitimate Government OF Mexico,
but that does by no means prove that the people
have abandoned The cause Of theifindependence.
On the contrary, We are in receipt of trust
worthy reports, which very significantly point
the other way.
We are assured by rabid hmpcrialst paper
Of the City of Mexico, the Estafsths, that the
warmest interest is shown by the people Of that
city in tho execution Of any Juarist, while they
arc Indifferent with regard TO tho death Of any
Imperialist however prominent. Other Mex.
lean papers spprise us Of a similar disposition
among the people Of Pueba. In both cities
riots recently occurred, in which public
opinion Enthusiastically declared itself in
favor Of Juarez. The same reports reach
us from Vera Cruz, from Quirogo, and
other towns. The execution Of several
officers Of the National army BY tAe Imperial
Government, raised such profound Indignation
that four papers of the City Of Mexico had to
be threatened with trial by martial law.

National forces are reported 70 have taken

We copy elsewhere and call attention to an
article on the subject of frauds, from The Boston
Transcript of April s. The sentiments therein
expressed will meet the concurrence of all right
minded, honest men, without distinction of
party. We are glad to see such an evidence of
healthy moral tone from that quarter, for the
whole Boston press were recently clamoring
about the case of Smith Brothers, Navy con-
tractors, as if no such outrage had been Offered
the people of this country since its settlement
It is all very well for men in Congress to bcwail
the hardsbips of rich contractors, blockade
runners and such gentry, who may be punished
by court-martial, or locked up fer q season, but
there are too few who recollect the shameful
losses inflicted on the country at time when II
can least afford them. 1t may be unpleasant to
the contractor to have his v.llainy exposed and
punished, but how is il with the brave men who
are put TO needless suffering in the field in con-
sequence of the same; have they no claims TO

Our PUBLIC CHARITIES.

Crime and Misery make heavy drafts on the
benevolence and wealth Of our City. The social
wrecks Of two continents flung upon our shores
are constantly increasing their demands upon
the vigilance of our police and the purses OF our
Taxpayers. Though Labor is largely paid here,
and is usually in brisk demand, the number Of
thieves, burglars, drunkards debauchees, lewd
persons and reprobates in general, who are
public nuisances and burdens at best and who
generally drift into the alms-house to die, after
having patronzed the courts and the prisons for
some decades of months and even years, is enor-
nous. We doubt that there is another
million Of people on earth on whom crime and
dissipation east SO heavy load as al the i'll
habi,ants of this City.
This load was formerly made heavier by o
bad system OF supervision. urPublic Charities
were managed by functonarics who owed their
offices to the Common Council Of the hour, and
were changed with each cbb and flow OF the
restless tide Of party politics. All the subor-
dinates were consequently displaced about as
soon as they were qualified by experience to
render efficient service. Occasionally, in their
eagerness to retain their places OF to serve
their party, they dragged the paupers by hand-
reds to tho polls and voted them to
order What wonder that the expense,
always large, was constantly increaaingf
At length, the Legislature interposed and
made radical change in the system. 1t con-
fided the management Of our City's Prisons and
Public Charities TO four Commissioner, to be
named by the Controller. One object OF this,
and Of the entire act, was " take the
whole matter out Of politics and keep II SO
eyernore.
The original Commissioners under this act
were MOSES II. GRNsELL, SIMEON DRAPER,
ISAAC BELL and JAMES Is. NICHoLsoS-the two
former Republicans, the two latter Democrats,
but all men widely known, and enjoying gen.
eral respect and confidence. Mr.. Draper had

AMERICAN VESSELS PRED rPON
ny A PORTUGUESE FORT.

The United States frigates Niagara aud Sac.
ramento have for some time been engaged in
chasing the Rebel ram stonewal. The latter
has AZ length succeeded in escaping from the
port of Ferro. On March 9th her arrival in
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is announced.
The Portuguese authorities ordered her to leave
the harbor The Niagara and Sacramento
arrived Immediately after and were ordered
by the Portuguese Government not to sail
before the expiration of twenty-four hours
after the departure Of the Stonewall
The commanders Of the frgates are charged by
the Portuguese with having disregarded this
order, and, while attempting to sail bcfore the
proper time were fired upon by Portuguese
fort. The commanders of our steamers are, on
the other hand reported to have have had no
intention to sail, but merely TO have shifted
heir anchorage. Diplomatic notes, 1t is further
reported, have already been exchanged in re-
gard to this matter. The Rebel organ OF Lon
don, The jndsr, volunteers the further announce.
ment that the great Powers would protect Por-
tugnl if the United States should attempt to
impose upon her.
1t would be useless to offer any comment
upon this affair until "a tho facts have
been established. ii tho statements Of the
commanders Of our steamers are correct, our
Government will know how to yindicate the
honor Of tho national dag. At all events, the
relations Of the foreign Governments to Rebel
vessels are now on tho point of undergoing a
revision, which will make the renewal Of such
events impossible
