oiTHE DEAD OF 1865.-The year that
has Just passed away was 200 momentous
with great events to have its history con-
densed into a newspaper article. Not the
least of its achievements was the bearing
away with9it into the solemn past of some
OF the, brightest names known among
men. First in the illustrious list, as he
stands first in the hearts of Americans,is is
Abraham Lincoln. With him have gone
from our own land, Thomas Corwin, John
Brough, Preston King, Jacob Collamer,
and Edward Everett, while We mourn with
England at the loss of Richard Golden
apd Lord Palmerston. Science has been
robbed cf Valentine Mott, the greatest sur
geon of his time, EnUke, the Prussian as
tronomer, Paxton the English inventor, Oh
lendorf, the great grammariaD, and others.
Literature moufns Worcester, of dictiOn--
airy fame, Mrs. Gaskill, Mrs. Sigourney
and Richard Hildreth. From the ranks
of the nobility have fallen King Leopold
the Duke of Northumberland, the Rus
sian Czarewitch and Joseph 8onaparte.
OF women noted through themselves or
their relations to others, have been the
wife of Secretary Seward, the wife of
Louis. Kossutk, the widow of the poet
Moore, the widow of Aaron Burr, and the
mother of ThackeIay: A vast additional
number, of greater or less renown, have
followed these In their march to othe tomb
and to eternity.

Mr.. SEwARD's FIRST KNOWLEDGE OF
TUE DEATH OF LINCoLN.--Mr. Seward
had been kept in ignorance of the attack
on the President, his physician fearing
that the shock would be TOO great for him
to bear, and all newspapers were rigidly
excluded from his roomo On the Sum
day following his assassination, the Sec
retary had the bed wheeled around so that
he could see the tops of the trees in the
park opposite, ;qst@p putting on the spring
foliage, When his eyes caught the stars
and stripes at half mast on the War De
partmeur, on which lie gazed awhile, then
turning to his attendant said: Z" The

~ Hon. Jas. Mullens, of Ten
nessee, relates the following incident
in the administration of ANDY John
son, when Provisional Governor of
that State:
Shortly after the Democratic
Convention at Chicago he forcibly
dispersed a Mcclellan meeting held
in Tennessee. The meeting was
held in The evening, in the second
story of building used as a court
house, and Mr.. Johnson being ap-
praised of the fact, ordered out some
of the colored troops under his com
mand, and ordered them to go to the
place, blow out the lights, and knock
every id man down stairs, regard
less of the consequences. These
orders were obeyed to the letter,
and the unfortunate McClellanites
were driven from their room, tumbl-
ed pell-mell down the stairs, and
many of them personally assaulted. :"
That was what Andrew johnson
did for his Mcclellan friends in
1S64-ordered q Democratic meet
ing to he broken up by negro soldi-
ers. Has Thsd. Stevens, the prince
of radicals, ever gone further? 1t
will be hard for the Presidents friends
to reconcile. this act with his present
intense regard for the constitutional
rights of traitors and their Northern
friends. the Copperheads. At that
time johnson believed treason to be
odious, and traitors worthy of pun
ishment. Now, under the new light
shed in upon his mind by the politi-
cal teachings OF the great apostles of
modern Democracy, Vallandigham
and Wood, he is ready to reward
treason and exalt traitors above 10y,
al men. How too, does this incident
tally with the boast of the President.
that he has not changed his prlncl-
pies or his policy2 He to-day affili-
ates politically with these same Nc
Clellanites, and they to-day indorse
him not because he stands where he
stood when he ordered "nigger"
soldiers, with bayenets in their
hands, to disperse a Democratic
meeting, but because he has abau-
doned the principles he then held,
and has esponsed theirs. He then
stood with the loyal men of the
South, whom he has since betrayed
and abandoned fer the political
friendship ofrebels and copperheads,
johnson constantly appeals to his
recerd-let us ventilate it, and out
of his own mouth he will be con-
demned.

The Political Position of our
Generals.

The Copperhead press of the coun-
try are trying hard to make it appear
that A. johnson and "my policy" are
indorsed by the principal officers Of the
army. They stop at no degree or kind
of falsehood and Misrepresentation to
effect their object, but have thus far
signally failed. They make much ado
over the fact that Grant and Farragut
accompanied the President on his late
grand "swing around the circle" But
it is noticeable fact, that though every
opportunity was offered, and various
attempts made by the President and his
friends, to draw from these distinguish
ed soldiers some expression Of approx
al of his policy. both Grant and Far
ragut studiously avoided the slightest
reference to the subject. Their mark
ed silence on this point can only be in
terpreted upon the hypothesis that
they are opposed to that policy. In
fact, the Columbus correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says. that
at that city, neither Grant nor Farragut
hesitated to express their utter disgust
of the whole proceeding. In this con-
nection, we refer our readers to the fol-
lowing extract from the Lewiston Falls
Journal:
1--WE happen to know personally,
through gentleman who has been in
innate with Gen. Grant for the last few
months, that his sympathies in the
present political crisis are wholly with
Congress, and that he is entirely op-
posed to the tyranical and egotistical
course of President johnson. We
know that such are the sentiments Of
the General"
1t is also well known, that Jesse R.
Grant, the Generals father, occupied
the stand at the great Union Rati6ca-
ton meeting at Cincinnati. Put this
and that together. and it win not take
the shrewdness of a Philadelphia law
yer to determine where the General
stands.

E The Democratic papers are
already trying to write down the
election in Maine, claiming that it
went by default. We don't wonder
at this, for the history of all previous
political campaigns attests the fact,
that the Maine election invariably
sounds the keynote to the result
throughout the country. Both par
ties were sensible of the vast impor-
tanec of this election as sign of the
times; and both therefore worked
hard. The Democratic party did
not give up the fight in advance
there, any more than they are doing
so here. The 'Ebread and butter
brigade were at the polls in full
force, but it was No go. The people
are heartily tired of this grand presi-
Dental farce, and the Union party
carried the State with largly inereasz
ed majorities. Fuller returnYshow
the victory to be complete, ami also
that the present is the largest vote
ever cast in that State for Governor;
thus setting at rest at once.and for
ever the Democratic lie, that their
party did not go to the polls. THAT
dodge wont work, gentlemen. Take,
comfort in it, if you can; but mark
eur word, the coming October| cleo
tons viii fully dispel the plehsing
delasion. The people are u in
their strength, and will CO auer
treason at the ballot box, they
have conquered it on the tile
field. - -

and the overthrow both Of Congress
and the whole legislation Of the

Keep it before the people, that the
enumeration of this doctrine by Alex.
Stephens, and the declarations of the
President, are but the forerunners of
grand conspiracy, entered into BY
the rebels of the South and the cop
perheads of the North, to take pos
session of the Government peacea-
bly, if they can, forcibly if they must,
and to administer the same in the in
terests of treason and rebellion.
Keep it before the people, that
they can never safely give their suf-
frages to men holding such inismous
doctrines as this, nor can they safe
ly elevate to power men who SO light

country's laws.

Union Men at the South.

Gov. Hamilton of Texas states,
that since President Johnson began
giving aid to the rebels, no less than
six hundred Union men have been
deliberately murdered in that State,
under various secession pretexts,
and not one of the perpetrators has
been punished. The massacre at
New Orleans fully demonstrated,
that Mr.. johnson does not intend
that in the future the protection OF
Union men in rebel States shall form
any part of his Executive labors.-
The Unionists of the South must
hereafter fight their battle, not only
without his aid and encouragement,
but againsthis open or covert hostili-
ty. The effect of the position thus
taken by the President is fast being
developed throughout the South
Bad men are encouraged to new
deeds of violence. The freedmen
are subjected to frequent outrages,
and the lives Union men are no long
er safe. Many from the North, who
settled in the South at the close OF
the war, are selling out and return
ing home. The flow of capital and
wealth seeking investment in the
South is checked, and mob law and
mob rule are fast becoming the or
der of the day. The President owes
it to the country and to himself to
see that change in this matter is
inaugarated. If the South has not
already learned, she must be taught,
that protection of person and prop
erty is by law guaranteed, and must
in fact be secured, to any American
citizen upon every inch of American
soil.

lie has been excessively bored by
the persistent efforts of John Hogan
and other Copperheads, 10 identify
him with thehselves and their politi-
cal projects.
While in ICincinnati this Hogan
proposed toIintroduce to Gen. Grant
a gentleman connected with the En-
quirer, mentioning as a reason the
fact of SUCH connection, that the En-
quirer was an ardent supporter oi
the General. He responded that he
had no SYMPATHY with the Enquirer.
He remembered is course duingr
the war, aAd it was very obnoxious
to him.
But" said the persistent Hogan,
''this is one of the editors of the En-
quirer."
That" replied the General,
"might have prevented my saying
what i have as a matter of pPliteness
but it is out now"
lie complained that the Enquirer
had published a garfield account Of
his remarks in Cincinnati. The Gen
eral says that he accompanied the
expedition, feeling that the manner
in which he was invited and pressed
by the President TO do so amounted
to an order from his Commanderin-
Chief. He expressed his extreme
disgust with the manner in which it
has been conducted, and that he
feels, though physically strong
enough, as tired as though he had
been absent from Washington for
six months.
These statements are not derived
from rumor, but are entirely trust
worthy and reliable, and their Publi-
cation is believed by the military
and personal friends of the General
to be both due and acceptable to
himself
Admiral Farragut was equally
outspoken upon the subject, and
condemned the whole affair as an un-
worthy political filibustering, for
%hich he had no taste.
The correspondent OF the Gin.
Gazette. in referring to the same mat
ter, says the conversation alluded 20
occurred between Gov. Cox and the
General, and furnishes the following
statement of it, to-wit:
1t is well known that Gov. Cox,
had long and interesting converse
tion with the General, and that the
latter expressed his views freely on
the political situation. He could
not approve the course of the Presi-
dent, nor did he think the safety of
the country lay in his policy, but in
that of Congress. For Copperheads
and rebels he had the same hatred
he ever had during the progress OF
the war. These facts now being re-
peated by Union men on the streets,
confirms your Washington adVices
as to the devotion of Gen. Grant to
tie Union cause.
