Southern Sentiment.

The following extract we make from
the letter Of q distinguished citizen OF
Texas, written to C. r. Smythe, Of this
city:
In The South the purest
loyalty prevails. Having lost the right
OF separation from the Northern States,
the people here are unanimous in their
desire to observe and sustain the United
States Government. In fact, they never
lost their respect for that Government,
and when the separation took place, the
Confederate States Government was
mainly copied in its constitutional or
ganization from it, and am Of opinion
that our people did not consider the de.
psrtures from the old Constitution as
improvements.
War abolished the Confederacy, abol-
ished slavery, and decided against the
claimed right of secession; but as in
'ducements for us to lay down our arms,
land say what we may, their influence
was potent, the resolves of Congress
and proclamations of President Lincoln
offered us back the Government Of the
United States, changed only in reference
TO slavery and secession. We accepted
the offered terms, and whilst deeply af-
aicted by our terrible misfortunes, re-
newed in good faith our VOWS of ale
glance to the Government which we had
never ceased to honor, and which we had
taken as the model for our own Confed-
eraey. To doubt the sincerity of those
vows is unjust Many at the North may
from ignorance of the truth entertain
such doubts, but those who examine for
themselves, and know Che temper Of the
Southern mind, and pretend that our
allegiance is not complete and sincere,
are false to their own convictions and
willing deoeivers of others, and generally
or uniformly for some selfish or mali
cious purpose.

Who conspired LincOln's Death

From the hour we heard Of Lincoln's
assassination, an impression has weighed
on us that we cannot shake off, that
dark and horrible mystery is connected
with it-and that Beast Butler knows
something about it. That part Of legal
duty that involves serutinizing testi-
mony, and seeing what of it is evidence
and what is not, is almost natural to us.
1t makes us very slow in attribdting bad
motives to men of clear reputation. 1t
makes US very doubtful of plausible
apologies, where facts look the other
way. a.- -tt 49, st.a
We have no doubt that Lincoln was
shot on Good Friday night, 1865, in
low theater in Washington nor that he
began, next morning, q very long jour
ney, in review of souls untimely cut off
ia consequence of q warthst he, illegally,
began. But, beyond this, doubt springs
up. Was it ]. Wilkes Booth that shot
him 2 Probabilities favor that idea, but
there is no proof on which an honest aud
intelligent juror, if a property worth
thousand dollars depend on it, could de-
eide. Was it Wilkes Booth that was shot
and killed by Boston Corbett 2 That is
involved in far greater doubt A great
deal of money was expended in paying
some of the killers, and Stanton, Speed,
Holt, Bingham, etc., know good deal
the public do not know.
Some people that were innocent of it,
we're hanged for it. Mrs. Sur--ctttt itst-
bly,. The mystery in which NC he VILE
thing was shrouded by that Vigilance
Committee that lawless body called
Military Commission" excites grave
thoughts among freemen. f.lr..f
The recent audacity of Beast Butler
revives the question Butler got himself
elected to Congress. He thought that
was the place for him, and that he would
shine. But Thad. Stevens, Bingham Il
Co. were there before him. They are
not content be should take the shine
out" of them. Hence conflict. Does
not the affray in the House point to the
fact that Butler has the rope in his
pocket that, according to law-if there
be any left-would hang several potential
personsP Butler is very sharp New
England criminal attorney. He is just
the monkey to put the paws of cats into
the fire, to rake out his chestnuts We
will not pursue the suggestion. We offer
it to investigating minds. Who con-
spired Lincsln's death? Who hushed
up the legal evidence that could have
satisfied the public mind? Whe have
profted by it-Neto York Freema"'s
