1t will be rccolloctcd that Mr. Lincoln in
his last Message to Congress declared his
doctrine to reconstruct the Southern States
back into the Union when one-tenth Of the
people in said States would manifest such a
desire. Upon that doctrine, Henry Winter
Davis, talented Republican member OF
Congress from Maryland thus commented
in late speech
But there are those who would have one
tenth Of the people govern all the people
There are those who would organize into
olgarchics, like the common council O
Alexandria, to sue k the blood of grea
States, degrade the character and exasrcr
ate the temper of the people of proud com
monwoalths, and send their tools here t.

Sir my successor may vote as he pleases
But when leave this Hall there shall be no
vote from the Third Congressional District
| of Maryland, that recognizes anything but
| the body and mass of the people of any
State as entitled to govern them and to gov.
ern the people that represent. And they
who may wish to substitute one tenth, on
any other fractional minority, for that great
power Of the people To govern, may take,
brand it upon them that in the middle Of
the nineteenth century, in the only free
Republic that the world knowns, where
alone the principles Of popular government
are the rules Of authority, they have gon,
to the dark ages for their models, rcvivinl

a RInck Edilor,s Opinion.

The Black Republican is newspaper in
New Orleans, edited by colored man "a
clergyman), who, 1t would seem from the
following, does not think that the regener-
alton of his brethren is to be accomplished
by voting and tax-paying:
.sThe colored man and the white man
cannot live together in this country; they
must and will have to separate, unless the
Congress of the nation will give them a
place for themselves, for, as it was with
Abraham and Lot, so it is with us, and the
sooner we seek home for our rising gem
Grafton, the better it will be for us. Our
final destiny, so far as can dimly see, is
that in three hundred years it will be rare
thing to see colored man In this country.
Like the Indian, our race is destined to be-
come extinct in this country unless we
move ourselves"

The Religious Press ON the WASH
ingtOn Executions. ...

The Religious Papers that we have seen
since the Washington Executions nearly all
applaud the performance--including, of
course, the military commission, and the
trial; and seem to regret that the prison.
ers were not all hung! They are especially
jubilant over the hanging of Mrs. SURRATT
some of them even indulging in offensive
illusions to the Religion she professed,
whose kind offices and consultations were
administered to her up to the very close Of
her life. But The Neto York Observer can
not refrain from saying:
SIT was universally regretted that so
short a time was allowed these miserable
wretches for preparation to meet their
dreadful doom. 1t would have been more
becoming good Government to have de-
ferred their execution few days at least,
and the effect on the public mind would
have been more solemn and permanent"
Others were willing to see them hung
without the benefit of clergy" anxious,
doubtless, to have them sent straight to
the devil-forgetting the crucifxion scene,
when the Savior of the World said to the
repentant malefactor, who was dying at his
side, ''to-day thou shalt be with me in Par
adispD

The Petticoat Canard.

Most of the Republican papers still stick
to the exploded falsehood, that JEFF. DAVIS
was captured in the disguise of petticoats
and crinoline-believing that lie once told
and well stuck to is as good as the truth. If
any thing more were needed to explode
this whole petticoat story, the following
statement by The Chicago Republican, edited
by G. A. DANA, who was Assistant Secre-
tary of War when STaNToN first telegraph
ed the canard, ought to be deemed suffi-
cient: ..,-.. .---
THE PETTIcoAT SToRY.-The New York
World is taking good deal of trouble to
prove that JEFF. Davis was not captured in
female disguise, as has been so extensively
reported, and, to considerable extent at
least, believed. Considering that no ,oitness
has as yet come Joroard 10 TrOre the truth Of the
story it is hardly worth while to bestow so
much labor upon the task of its refutati0n.
The story that the rebel chief, when taken,
was disguised in female apparel, ,oGs a ca
ndrd, originated, we presume, as a 'good
joke" by the soldiers who witnessed the
event, though possibly by the mistake of
some one who never before saw gentle
mans dressing-gown. According to the
statement of persons who were OF the party
captured with Davis it was such garment
he had on, and the same garment he had
slept in during the night. This statement
is corroborated by members of the Chicago
Board of Trade battery, who accompanied
the Wilson expedition, and heard the event
narrated with minute details, by ''the boys"
who captured and brought in the rebel
chief. They state that the 'petticoat story"
'lady's water proof cloak" ''tin water
bucket" and all, was fiction, and that the
had on was dressing or morning-gown.

From The Minnesota Statesman.l
Mrs. Lincoln.

We have recently noticed an item of news
stating that Mr.. Lincoln's executor had in
formed her that the estate of the late Pres
ident Lincoln was not sufficient for her to
keep house upon, but that she would have
to board This is a startling announce
ment, truly; and we see that Greeley uses
it as an argument in favor of hurrying up
the 100000 subscription that was started
for her soon after Mr.. Lincoln's death.
What has become of the large proportion
of Mr.. Lincoln's salary which the Republi-
can papers last fall stated he had invested
in U. S. bonds? What is Capt. Bob doing,
that his mother has so suddenly been re-
duced to such desperate straits?
We have sometimes thought that the old
time charity had all departed. There was
time when people gave to the really needy,
and gave without the "pomp and circum-
stance" of newspaper puffs. They selected
their objects of charity, and gave their
heart offerings quietly without having their
names paraded in the public prints.
Where are the thousands-yea, tens of
thousands-of widows and orphans who
have been made so through the noble mar
tyrs who-h been slain in this war, upon
whom the last rays of the evening sun
leave no cheer and to whom the morrow's
morn brings no hope? Are there no Presi-
dents wives among the thousands of little
daughters who daily toll and beg to vouch-
safe few more hours of life to worn out
and starving mothers, the lives of whose
husbands-every Que of them-were as
valuable tc them as was Mr.. Lincoln's to
his family? Are there no 100000 subscrip-
tions to be circulated for these mournful
monuments of the patriotism of the Ma
ton?
In Gods name, is it not about time for
this funkeyism and toadyism of the Amer
ican people to give way to an enlarged
practical charity-a charity that will not
expend its blessings in vain before it reach
es its suffering objects? Let us hear no
more appeals to enable Mrs. Lincoln to live
in splendor and idleness, while those who
gave her all the elevation she enjoys are
crying for bread, and are losing their hearts
blood in trying to obtain it.
A monument to Mr.. Lincoln's memory
will perpetuate Nations gratitude: but
the people of the Nation owe no debt to
Mrs. Lincoln. She reveled in silks and laces
and diamonds while the poor wives of the
Nations defenders were sewing shoddy at
two shillings per day to enrich favorite
contractors. To them we owe debt that
can never be repaid.

Soldiers, Letter TO General Cox.

We print this morning letter from q
number of soldiers to General Cox, the
Oberlin candidate for Governor, asking
him to define his position on Restoration
and Negro Suffrage. 1t was placed in his
hands, we understand, Immediately after
his arrival here-more than two weeks ago
and he has not yet seen proper to answer
it; and the probability is, that it will re-
main unanswered. The Oberlinites, black
and white, are satisfied that he is in favor
of Negro Suffrage-having received all the
assurances to that effect they want; while
The Cincinnati Commercial and kindred
prints are trying to satisfy the soldiers and
Conservative Republicans that they ought
all to vote for him! We shall see how this
thing will work.
