CAN SIGH THINGS BE,

Until the facts shall have been disclosed,
there will be a natural hesitation TO believe that
the Rebel chiefs denounced in our new Presl-
dents Proclamation were really implicated II
the murder of his lamented predecessor. There
can be no doubt whatever that there Is "eyi-
dence in the Bureau Of Military Justice that
Jefferson Davis Il Co. abetted the assassination
of President Lincoln; but that evidence has
not vet been travcrsed, and siitcd, and scfl-
tinted: and it may be found to consist OF near
say tales and the ambitious outgivings OF meio-
dramatic villains of the Wilkes Booth genus.
Innocent letters have often been made to bear
a sinister Interpretation in the light OF events
.undreamed Of when those letters were written;
and universal experience has long since affirmed
the insecurity of judginga case whereof ONLY
one side, at most, has been heard.
Assassination is not an American custom.
We do not now recall single previous case
wherein persons of any note and standing il
! this country have conspired to effect great
public end by this means. Then DAVIS ana
Thompson have been soldiers, and soldiers emil
nently detest assassins. For tho honor OF ON
country, it may be hoped that this crime o.
crimes will not be fastened on men who have
worn all but the highest honors Of The Republic,
and who prior to the Rebellion, had borne fair
personal regulations.
BIT the natural improbability Of the charge Is
heightened almost to incredibity when we con.
slder how all but impossible it was that tie Re
bellion should derive any advantage from ouI
Presidents death, or even from that OF any hall
dozen chief. whom the assassins might hope tC
KILL II is not now first asCer,alnCd, even II
Richmond, that the Loyal Millions, and not then
Civil or Military leaders, have made and upheld
| the War for the Union. They bad decided to
fight. if need should be- before either the latc
President or his Cabinet had made up their
minds to do so; and they have gone through in
!. that spirit, with less dependence on or aid from
leadership, civil or military, than any success
full people ever had in so great conilic, before.
TO kill any half-dozen men on the presumption
that this would break down the National r.
sistance to DSunion, was a folly, whereof We
lean with great difficulty believe the accused
guilty. They might as nationally have plncked
and destroyed half dozen heads Of wheat from
a spacious field, and imagine that they bad con-
signed the owner Of that field to incxoraDle
starvation.
Still. "whom the gods would do stroy, they first
make msd;" and some notorious doing, OF the
Rebel chiefs have been alike foolish and wicked :;
and it may be that they have been permitted toI
fill up the measure Of their iniquitcs ~ con
spring with wretches like Booth and Payne loI
our Government by assassination.
Their butchery Of Black and starving OF White
captiyes was quite as fiendish and no; much less
suicidal. And then despair uncoyers vilieiny
that prosperity had concealed. But let US
patiently and candidly scrutini2o the forth
coming facts before passing judgment.
