THE Cleveland Leader thinks that the
recent catastrophe ON the Mississippi riv-
er was "a rebel plot" and says "the ex-
plosion of the Sultana is, to our minds
but Ianother evidence of the barbarlsm
and malignity of the rebellion"
Very probably, if a late frost should
killthe fruit and ruin the crops of the
North, the Leader would consider it an
other evidence of the wickedness and in
humanity of the rebels.

Eu0ch Arden i'm Iowa.

An Iowa paper has the following story,
which recalls, the incidents of Tennyson's
poem:
Thirty months ago German, living on
White street, il Dubuque, Iowa, volnn-
teered with the Twenty-first Iowa infan-
try and went to the war. We shall call
him Schmidt for short He left wife
who was rather good looking, quite in
dustrious, very frugal, and childless.-
Time rolled on, and Schmidt, says the
Dubrqne Times, went with his regiment
TO Vicksburg. There he was shot one
day and left for dead on the field. The
sad Intelligence was sent to his wife by
his captain. and she Immediately obtain
ed the assistance of a lawyer, secured his
back pay and q widows pension, She
drew the latter regularly and, with what
she earned, managed to live comfortably
In q few months she attracted the attcn-
ton of one Schemes, a miller by occupa-
ron.' He wooed and won, and for him
she gave up the pension They were mar
ried last summer The course of true
love ran smooth with them until last
Saturday morning. when, just after they
had finished breakfast, Mr.. Schmidt, the
first husband, opened the door and walk

Here was a fix! MIs--what would

Mr.. Schemes turned pale and trembled,
for Schmidt looked vengeance after he
had surveyed the scene u moment and
taken all its meaning in. After several
IL ,,I
bold y asked, What is to be done!''
Schmidt sat down and told his story
He was wounded, not severely, near
Vicksburg, and taken prisoner, and the
rebels carried him away with them.
From time to time he had been in South
ern prisons until three weekssincc, when
he was exchanged. He came to Dubuque
as soon rs he could, and haStCned TO his
home He received nointimation Of his
wife's marriage until he entered the
house that morning. As he concluded
his story, his feelings overcame him. he
wept, and she wept also. But il all end
ed in the second husbands refusal to give
the wife up. She, we are informed, re-
fused to express q preference and said
the two men might settle the matter be-
tween themselves For four days both
men kept very close to the house, and
had many ardent discussions over their
difficulty. But the matter ended on
Wednesday last. The returned husband
offered Schemes twenty-five dollars to
evacuate the premises and leave him in
possession of "Annie." He accepted the
offer, pocketed the money and left

Itisa singular fact, which cannot es-
cane the observation Of the;people, that
in the proclamation offering reward for
various parties implicated in the mur-
der of President LINCOLN, JEFF. DAVIS
is the only one of the Richmond authori-
ties mentioned. Is it possible that DA-
Wis was concerned in plot from which
BREcKISRDGE, BENJAMIN and I Others
stood aloof2 If it be true that DAVIS
was connected with the diabolical
scheme. and gave it his personal or Of
fetal sanction, it certainly seems very
nrobable that other officers of the. rebel
Government were cognizant of the plot.
Then why is there no reward offered, and
no extraordinary effort put forth for their
arrest2 THOMPSON, TUCKER, CLAY and
SAUNDERS have been in Canada many
months; we have no evidence that either
of them has been in Richmond since last
simmer. 1t certainly seems strange, to
cav the least of it, that the murder OF
the President was Connected and pro-
cnred by and between" JEFF. DAVIS, i'll
Richmond, and the other parties in. Can
ada; and DAVIS must have exercised
more reticence than he usually receives
credit for, if the most trusted officers OF
his Government, and his most intimate
friends in Richmond knew nothing OF
the murderous scheme.
We hope that the War Department so
soon as it may be consistent with the
ends of justice, will permit the publica-
tion of all the evidence in the case. The
authors and instigators of the foul
crime which has been committed should
be punished to the full extent of the law,
but it is important that their guilt should
be clearly established, and that no per-
son. no matter what other crimeshe may
have committed, should be uniustly
charged with the browning guilt Of this
In proportion as the enormity OF the Of
fence exceeds all others, so should great
or nrecaution be exercised in ascertain
ing clearly the guilty persons, and unu-
sual care be taken not to accuse any IN
nocent man.
