Can Such Things Bep


Until the facts shall have been dis
closed, there will bea hesitation to believe
that the rebel chiefs denounced in our
new Presidents Proclamation were really
implicated in the murder Of his lamented
predecessor. There can be no doubt
whatever that there is " evidence in the
Bureau of Military Justice that JEFF
ferson Davis & Co. abetted the assassina-
tion of President Lincoln; but that evi-
dence has not yet been traversed, and
sifted, and scrutinized and it may be
found to consist of hearsay tales and the
ambitious outgivings of melo drama tic
villains of the Wilkes Booth genus. In.
nocent letters have often been made to
bear sinister Interpretation in the light
of events undreamed of when those let
ters were written; and universal expert
ence has long since affirmed the insecure
! ty of judging case whereof only one
side, at most, has been heard.
Assassination is not an American Gus
tom. We do not now recall single pre-
vious case, wherein persons of any note
and standing in this country have con-
spired to effect great public end by this
means. Then Davis and Thompson have
been soldiers, and soldiers eminently de-
test assassins. For the honor of our
country, it may be hoped that this crime
of crimes. will not be fastened on men who
have worn all but the highest honors of
the Republic, and who, prior to the Re-
hellion, had borne fair personal reputa-
tons.
But the natural imprebability of the
charge is bightened almost to incredibili-
ty when we consider how all but impos-
sible it was that the rebellion should de-
rive any advantage from our President S
death. or even from that of any half
dozen chiefs whom the assassins might
hope to kill. 1t is not now first ascer-
tanned, even in Richmond, that the loyal
millions, and net their civil or military
for the Union. They had decided to
fgh., if need shonld be. before either the
late President or his Cabinet had made
up their mind to do so and they have
gone through in that spirit, with less de-
pendence on or aid from leadership. civil
or military, than any successful people
ever had III so great conflict before
TO kill any half-dozen men on the pre-
sumption that this would break down the
National resistance to Disunion, was fol
ly, whereof We can with great difficulty
believe the accused guilty. They might
as nationally have plueked and destroyed
half dozen heads of wheat from a spa.
i cious field, and imagine that they con.
signed the owner of that field to inexor
II liable starvation.
| Still, whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad y and some notori.
Gus doings of the rebel chiefs have beer
alike foolish and wicked and it may b
that they have been permitted to fill NJ
the measure of their iniquities by con
spring with wretches like Booth anc
Il Payne to disorganize our Government BY

sG Orders have been issued for the

An Excellent Article from a Republi
can Journal.

The Albany On. " Evcaiing Journal,
the central Republican organ in that
State, lately edited by Thurlow Weed,
publishes the following excellent article :
KEEP CooL.-Tbere is feyerish ex-
citement in the public mind. We leap
from state to state of feeling. We form
conclusions hastily, impetuously; and
without reflection We suffer ourselves
to be swayed by motives which in calmer
periods would hardly affect US.
When passion rules supreme, men are
ready to respond to its suggestions with
| little regard for consequences. We have
abundant proof of this in almost daily
occurrences. 0dious parties subjected
to lynch law at the hands of mobs print
ling Offices destroyed suspected individ-
uals hunted from their homes the wild
est and most impossible rumors eagerly
accepted as facts /; confusion and disorder
dominant. 1t is only necessary to whis
| per that man is traitor, aud he will be
/ hooted at from every corner, while upon
| the merest rumor that person indorses
the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln, prepar-
ations are made for noosing halter.
Such ebullitions are infallible signs
of iebrile and diseased condition.
They should be sternly discountenaneed
| by every order-loving citizen. Now, if
ever, we need to have respect for the law.
Now, if ever. we should preserve those
bulwarks which are the protection of in
dividual liberty and virtue. A mob to
hang a secession lawyer in Philadelphia,
is an offspring of the same 6emagogism
that melted a mob to resist the draft in
New York. If General Butler can ad-
wise the treatment by summary lynching
process of Northern disloyalists to-day
there may be some one powerful enong b
to suggest the same application for Gen.
Butler tomorrow. There is no offense
against the Government that could fur
nish . pretext for mob, which does not
come within the scope of legal statutes,
and can be dealt with by the courts.
Let us keep cool, and try to work our
way to conclusions. The President was
murdered, but neither the Democratic
party of the North, nor any. considerable
number of people Of the South, were par
ties to tho crime.
Possibly there is conspiracy to con-
tinue the unholy work of slaughter, but
i4s by no means probable that it is par
ticipated in by many persons-there is
not a ghoul at every table.
{. There is no statute which makes the
promulgation Of false reports, calculated
to infame excite ment, misdemeanor.-
And an army of sensation mongers labor
assiduously to add fuel to the passions of
the hour, by inventions of such ahsurdi-
Fly that in ealmer time they would be
subjects of ridieule. In the absence of
Government censorship, ii becomes the
| duty of every editor to exercise a careful
scrutiny over, his own columns, and ex-
clude from them any thing Of morbid
ard unwholesome character. The plain
est and most unvarnished statement of
facts as they occur is exciting enough.

No greater. service can be done to the

by the publication of the following cir
snlar, in relation to the collection of sol
diers claims. Widows and relatives OF
soldiers, who are ignorant Of the proyis-

from them for a service that will be
promptly performed by the Commissioner

in disseminating information that vii
save them from imposition.

Beecher on state Rights.


The following pregnant sentences are
from Mr.. Beecher's Grafton at the raising
Of the flag upon Fort Sumter:
ssIs it feared that the Government will
Cypress the conquered States? What
possible motivs has the Government to
narrow the base of that pyramid on which
its own perHanenee stands7 Is it feared
that the rights of the States will be with
held? The South is not more jealous of
State rights than the North. State rights
from the earliest colonial days have been
the peculiar pride and jealousy Of New
England. In every stage of national
formation it was peculiarly Northern and
not Southern statesmen that guarded
State rights as we were forming the con
|stitution. But once united the loyal
States gave up forever that which had
been delegated to the national Govern
ment, and now in the hour of victory the
loyal States do not mean to trench upon
Southern State rights. They will not do
it or suffer it to be done. There is not
to be one rule for high latitudes and an
other for low. We take nothing from the
Southern States that has not already been
taken from the Northern. The South
shall have just those rights that every
Eastern, every Middle, every Western
State has--no more, no less. We are not
seeking our own aggrandizement by i'm
poyerishing the South. It's prosperity is
an indispensable element Of our own.
We have shown by all that we have suffer
ed in war how great is our estimate of
the importance Of the Southern States of
the Union, and we will measure that esti-
mate NOW IN peace By sill greater exer-
ti0n for their rebuilding"

pyTbe Allen County, (Ohio) Dem,

pT The Allen County, (Ohio) Demo
crat makes the following quotation from
speech of the Rev. Mr.. Molly, at Lima,
the day after the ASSASSINATION:
Il had noticed by the papers for .
week or ten days prior to the assassina-
tion, that Mr.. Lincoln was adopting and
pursuing a policy that would eventually
bring those scohndrels down South back i,
and give them again the right Of suffrage,
and when heard Of the assassination, /
just thought to myself that God, in His
Inscrutable Providence, had taken him
[ Liucoln] off just about the right time. :"
The number of the clergy who have
inculeated the same idea is very large.
They, and the Radicals for whom they
speak, are the only persons who are not
shocked by the murder IF the late Presi-
dent.
