@Col. Boynton, correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette, ana friend OF
Gen. Rousseau, in speaking of the at
tack upon Mr. Grinnell says;
The assault was both disgnceful and cowardvv
Notwithstanding the errors in Mr. GrinnelIs
course, there is no excuse for the rutiany conduct
of Rousseau The Honse cannot and will not pass
il over without severe rebuke; and It ifanything
saves Rousseau from expulsion IL will be the rec
ord which he has made for himself as soldier.
Independent of the merits of the case, the feel
ing seems to be that any member who would de-
scend to a personal assault. for words spoken In
debate Is not 1T to cit in the House as Represen-
tative.
Gen. Rousseau was partially intoxicated and
some of the party with him armed Senator
Salisbury was one of the retinue. Including the
latter there were five besides the principal. The
fact ef Gen. Rousseau waiting from Monday till
Thursday before he concluded to resent an insult,
coupled with the fact that he is man Of over six
feet in stature, while Grinnel is below medium
size, does Rousseau very little credit. The whole
thing partakes too largely of the old style ofpan-
tation manners which once obtained here in Wash
inglon While all regret it, the dignity of the
House will efuly maintained, howeFersevere the
measures to accomplish 1t may need to be.

THE ASSAsSrNs.

There is not the least doubt but that
the entire Democratic party rejoiced in
the murder of President Lincoln, and
that his murder was the result Of the la
bors of the party during the four years
previous to his murder.
The La Crosse (Wisconsin) Democrat
is leading Democratic paper, and is
more bold than many Of the sneaking,
cowardly organs Of the party. Articles
are frequently copied from this paper in
to other organs of the party. Here is a
precious morsel from that paper, which
we find in the Cincinnati Enquirer, with
out word of dissent:
from the Lacrosse (Wis) Democrat
THE LACROSSE DEMOCRAT-BRTCK PoMERoY's RE-
PLY TO THE CINCINSATI CoMMERCIAL-TnE AS
sAssISATION or LINCOLN.
We did thank God for calling Lincoln home. II
Lincoln is in Heaven as AbOlitionists say, he is
better OFF than he was in Washington, beset by
thieves Abolitionists army contractors, Office
seekers and gaping listeners to his smuttyj Jokes.
As friend of Lincoln we thanked God for calling
so great and good man home before he should
become disgusted with the Annas, the James, the
Thaddeuses the Benjamins, the ChNrIeses the
Freds, and Others Of the leaders Of the God and
Morality party.
We thanked God for calling Lincoln into the
presence and company Of Democrats as he is if in
Heaven The poor President suffered enough
from being with Abolitoni,ts on earth, and We
thanked God for calling him beyond their reach Ol
influence here or hereafter.
Whatever Is, is right. God, who rules us all
wanted Lincoln removed--tlc made Booth His
agent no one but God Is to blame for Lincoln's
death God is never to blame; we, who are chris
tians, should thank Him for every thing we do
50 thank Him he who does not thank q ID, is ne
Christian; those who assail us are no christians
We believe the country is better oil now thar
when Lincoln was alive.
We believe more in stptcsmanshlp than in mig.
ger songs or IN humorous yarns in time of war.
We believe Lincoln was mere uan of' putty in
the hands Of traitors and thieves, known lattcrlN
as AbJlitiOnists.
We believe God saw that he was not useful, ever
If ornamental, and removed him to make room tO
better man.
We believe johnson is a better man that LincolI
If he had not been, surely the great Republican
party would not have gone Utof The UalOR for {
candidate for tie Eice.PreSideacg, ~ieR they hug
so many g5od pare, hoaoraJte statesmen IN The North
We believe the country would be better of to
day, if every Republican and Abolition uaitor
mcddcr sycophant, apologlst, thief, traitor, OF
tool of traitors were in the bosom Of Abraham,
We believe further that the Abolition party j
going to the devil, literally, and we do not cart
how quick.
And we still further believe that "Brcl' Pom
croy has more true friends in the country thai
Lincoln ever had--that we do not care the snap o

A slight mistake. The paper was published in

No mistake at all. The man who
