THE wlNCHELL RASCALITY.

From the Springfield Republican, April 25.l
Mr.. Winchelrs disappearance and his supposed de-
falcaton were yesterday the talk Of the town. Most
first information OF the fact from the Republican, and
q good many who are losers keep quiet about II, so
that the full extent Of his depredations private
purses Is not known. Facts already at hand, how
ever show that the total must far exceed $4,000 No
person whom we have heard OF Is heavier loser than
Mr.. Winchel's wife, who is by the way, most esti.
mable lady, and In no way to blame for the family
differences TO which we alluded yesterday. Mrs.
Winchell IL cousin OF Vice President Hamn. Since
her marriage she has been obliged to pay her own
bills for clothing &C. Mr. Winchell refusing TO do H.
she had property Of $4,000, about half Of which,
all he could lay hands on, Mr.. Winchell has now
made way with. In addition TO the losers Of bonds
mentioned yesterday are young man In TINS city
who Is 1000 "outr; J. @. Putnam and George A.
Griffin both OF this CITY, the former having g. 400
and the latter $500 disposed Of; and Chic0pee man
who loses $500. IL Is believed that Mr.. Wnchel Is
still In the country but so far Ia known no meas
ures have been taken to punish him for the crime
which he is believed to have committed.

FALSE REPORTS.

The Gazette says we doubt that the
speech of Jim Cavanaugh, as reported by
it was in the LateHigencer. We do not
doubt il. But what we do doubt is that
Jim ever made a speech withou; refer
ing to Gods green earth, the Pardon
of kossuth," the Silver Potomac" the
Home of Washington that Beautiful
city by the sea, where the poor pale Irish
boy from Massachusetts was kindly
cared for by Southern matrons," and
to "old Virginia ar military dis
trict No. l." hence was the report of the
Gazette, which contained neither of those
expressions, garbled.
p. S.-Since writing the above we
have more carefully examined the pur-
ported speech of Mr.. Cavanaugh, and
find that the Pardon of kossuth" is
distinctly mentioned in it. We there
fore, conclude that the speech may have
been a genuine one, but mast still insist
that it has been garbled, else how could
the absence of the other expressions re-
ferred to be accounted for.

WAR I'm EUROPE.

BY our dispatches, it will be seen that
volcanic Europe is thought to be again
ON the eve of an eruption. Success be-
gets ambition, and Prussia, remember
ing her victorious achievements in the
last war. looks enviously upon the petty
principalities in her neighborhood, and
laws her schemes for conquest. The
nephew of his uncle in France, aspiring
to fame like that obtained by Napo-
leon l., meditates upon the necessity of
better rounded, more natural, and less
narrowed boundaries for his empire.
He therefore strives TO pave the way
for policy of war by a display to the
French people of his immense military
and naval force. his emissaries being, in
the meantime, already in America pur.
chasing supplies for his troops. What
ever the pretext for the war may be, the
thirs: for conquest on the part of Prus-
sia and France is at the bottom of it,
and we may expect that a war between
them will result in the drinking mp of a
number Of the small German States.
OF course Austria would object To this,
but that her objections would be needed
we have little reason to believe. She
has passed through her Sadowa TO such
night of powerlessness tha; her de-
sires or dislikes are of little consequence
to such big brothers as Prussia and
France. What the effect of snch war
would be upon the United States we are
not prepared to say. That it would be
of temporary benefit to US by causing n
foreign demand for our crops and thus
causing gold to flow into the country is
probable. 1t would also prevent the
South from procuring foreign allies pro-
vided il attempts second rebellion, as
il sometimes seems determined TO do.
But that the ultimate results of a
European war will be beneficial to us,
we doubt, believing as we do, that
whatever destroys human industry,
eventually works evil for the entire
race. We therefore hope that the war
like prophesies of our dispatches may
not be fulfilled.

the President. At the time of
her death she was President of the Sol
diers' and Sailors Orphan Home, an in
stitutiOn for the education of those
whom the rebellion made orphans by
the murder OF their fathers. Always a
leader in every good work, she was in
all respects a true woman, a title which
in itself includes all the virtues and
none of the vices of this world. The
funeral ceremonies will probably take
place in Washington, from which city
her remains will be removed for inter
ment to the family lot at Oak Ridge
Cemetery, Springfield, Illinois, the same
in which her three children and her an
cestors sleep the sleep OF death, and
where President Lincoln is buried.
During her whole life firm believer in
Christianity, she proved her faith by
works of righteousness and love, and, at
the last, went trustingly to Jesus"
Would that there were more with her
virtues. Then would the frivolties of
life be supplanted in the human mind
by more worthy objects, and the world
be better and more happy
