The last proclamation issued by Presi-
dent LINCOLN was that in which he mott
fed maritime powers that a further per
sistence in the course adopted towards our
war vessels, growing out of the declara-
tions Of neutrality between our govern
ment and the rebel authorities. would be
followed by subjecting the vessels of such
nations to like treatment in our harbors.
President JOHNSON has issued a p~rocIa-
nation of like import, which virtually
gives notice to foreign nations for a termi-
nation of the belligerent rights which
they have heretofore, as neutrals, confer
ed upon rebel cruisers. He declares that
after a reasonable time allowed for the
proclamation to become known. such ma
lions as shall continue to give hospitality
to the insurgent cruisers and the persons
board of them, will be denied the Gus
tomtomary hospitality for their public
vessels in the ports of the United States
such other measures be adopted as
may be deemed advisable towards vindi-
eating the national sovereignty.

The Louisville Journal says: 1.-THE
doom of slavery is sealed. There cannot
be aquestion of it. tits no matter Wheth-
er We like it or don'tlike it. Its continu-
ed existence in this country is an absolute
m~possibility. The attempt to prop it up
and to save it, now that the avalanche is
so near the base of the mountain. is to
act the part of the old man who shakes
his staff at the descending glacier and ex-
poets thereby to stop it.
Ihere can be no peace now In the coun-
try until slavery is oblterated. 1t is vain.
to look for it. Why attempt to prolong
the useless struggle whenwe know beyond
a doubt what the result must inevitably
be? We can perceive no wisdom, no use.
no advantage of any kind, to the South OF
to the country, directly or indirectly. in.
such a course. The institution in its
present form must pass away It is the
InexorabIe decree of Fate. Why, even
Robert b. Lee and j.. G.. Breckenridge
concede that it is dead. Why not. then
hurry it out of sight? Why not be done
the vexation? It has become use
less and a nuisance in Kentucky. That
every n admits. Why seek to continue
a nuisance when, at most, it can be but a
question of a few days more or less, and
when It's continued existence only serves
to excite fierce passions and to keep alive
sectional luminosity, without the possibili-
y OF any compromising good"

INDIAN TR0usIrs.

ST. PAUL, MINI, May 5.-A party of six
Indians murdered four persons named
Jewett, in Blue Earth county. Al half
breed, named Cambell, was lynched as
one of the murderers, In his confession
he stated that nine bands of Indians.
numbering one hundred each, were in

probably capture the raiders and prevent
further mischief.

Twenty-Five States including Louisi-
ana, Tennessee and Arkansas, have now,
through their Legislatures, ratified the
constitutional Amendment abolishinE
Slavery. There is no doubt but that
New Hampshire, Iowa, Oregon and CAL
Norma will follow their example in due
season. The assent Of but one more
member of the Union will then require
to make the Amendment the law of the
land, provided Louisiana, Tennessee and
Arkansas are recognized as organized
States. Some ex-slave State will, in that
case, have the honor of giving the cast
ing vote for freedom. Will it be Ken
lucky, North Carolina or Florida? AS
to Delaware and New Jersey, they oocu-
py the ~unenviable position of dogs in a
manger, en~deayoring to delay what they
cannot hope to prevent. The Amend
ment will be passed in spite of them, and
by the votes of States a thousand times
more deeply interested in the perpetuity
the accursed institution, and more vi
tally affected by its abolition. than these
tree and semi-fres menials of the Slave
have been, or ever can BEN. Y. |

RETRIBUTIoN.-The losses Of the South
IN the late contest are probably quite as
great as the profit she has gained from
the institution OF slavery. The cum

been swept away in a vain effort to ner-
petuate human bondage. The proverbial
estimates of "ill-gotten gains" have been
verified.

By the steamer Cuba at New York. we
have 3 days later news from Europe. The
assassination of President Lincoln was
still the leading topic. There is said to
be hardly'a locality in England in which
addresses and resolutions on the subject
have not been made and adopted. The
Queen has responded favOrably to the
request of Parliament that she should
formally express the grief of Great Brit
ain to the United States. Sir Frederick
Bruce has been directed to present the
coincidence of his Government to the
authorities at Washington. On the first
of May a meeting of Americans was held
at st. James Hall, London. Minister
Adams made an eloquent address and res
3lutions were adopted ~eulogizing Mr..
Lincoln, d~enouncing his. murder, tender
ing sympathy to Mrs. Lincoln, expressing
confidence in Johnson, and pleasure at
the grief manifested by the people of
Great Britain with our Government and
nation for their bereavement.

ever to determine certainly the elec-
ton Of Capt. JAS. ". McKelvy as Coun-

doubtless elected, though the contest
for Treasurer I'll be close. r. NJ.

contest for the other two Representa-
tires is close between S. NJ. Bruce (Un-

favor of the latter Two. The vote, so
