LiaCGin's inaugural.

.
We are sometimes accused Of Understanding
Abraham Lincoln while he lived and overrating
him since his death, because Of the deep dam
nation Of his taking off, bat his first inaugu-
raj address may aid us to a reiutatiCn of both
branches OF the criticism. None who heard or
read that address could possibly have believed
that man of common mind or power of
expression was speaking TO his fellow county
men. His reminder TO the South that he was
equally without right or inclination to inter
fere with the cherished institutions: his admis-
sion OF the justice and legality Of tle rendition
of fugitive slaves, coupled with exhoTta-
ton 10 DO reasonable, as well as firm, il
exercising the right among Northern people :;
his declarati IN of official incapacity 10 recng-
nize secession as q thing done or capable
Of being done by any State; his courageous,
yet temperate, notification that he should
eudeavor to hold. occupy and possess the
property and places belonging TO the Govern
Inent. and to collect the duties aud inpOstS
but to let time and reflection do the further
work of coercion his appeal to lovers of the
Union. with its sarcastic reference TO haters
of it, North or South, and his graphic sum
mary of the physical obstacles to separation are
alike almost above praise or cenSure. His perO-
ration, especially that part beginning with
tho words the mystic chords of memory"
has become au American classic. 1t was a not
unworthy prelude 10 the dedication speech
at the Gettysburg National Cemetery and
the wonderful second inaugural with
its striking picture of men who read
the same Bible and pray to the same
God appealing 10 Heaven in behalf of causes
utterly repugnant; its suggestion that every
drop of blood drawn by the lash was possibly
destined to be requited by the sword, and It's
closing paragraph, With malice toward none, ,"
was alone needed to lift its author To enduring
fame IS q posscssor Of that gift Of oratory which
the ancients esteemed as coming by the signal
favor Of the gods

We take pleasure in again reminding our
readers of the feast in store for them in the
splendid article upon the battle of Chancel-
lorsville, from the pen of ex-Gov. John G.
Lee, of Ohio. We know that the public
will not be disappointed in this paper. for
very few contributions have come into our
hands with which we have been so much
pleased as with this, especially as it treats
of one of the great struggles Of the wal
which has been the subject of so much con.
troyersy.

very large item, the extent of which, per-
haps, our patrons do not realize.
1t is our constant effort 30 make the paper

been much gratilied in the past TO observe
the liberal evidence of appreciation of our
efforts in this direction.

lucky, died at Harrodsburg, KY, last Satur-
day. He was elected Governor in 1859, and
at the outbreak of the war was in active
sympathy with secession. The Unionists Of

the loyal Lieutenant Governor, John F
Fisk held the Secessionists in check and
forced Magoffin TO abdicate, saving Kentucky
to the Union.

TITS WEEIL.s PAPER.

One of the features of this weeks paper is
the article from the able pen Of Gen. J. IL.
Wilson, on the romantic career Of Maj. Ernst
F. Hoffman,, who vas Chief Engineer OF
the Eleventh Corps during the war OF the
rebellion. Gen, CarIin, in his Memoirs
writes of tue battle of Perryyille, and
Carleton tells Of the two great armies
getting into position at Gettysburg. This
weeks chapter of Engine Thieves" tells OF
the execution Of the Adventures Andrews
and the bravery with which lie met his
doom.
All for two cents.

With many persons it is not the difficulty
Of sending dollar to their paper to renew a
subscription, which finally prevents their
having it, but they put it off from day to
day and ultimately, contrary to their own
desire even, they neglect to secure the post
Office order and inclose the amount to us
and thus their paper is stopped and they
incur a loss which they would not suffer
deliberately for many times the expense
involved

few other measures that can be brought into
the House can be presented for vote, ex-
cept upon stated occasions, and in this way,
at the close of every Congress, large numbers
of bills, for which almost two thirds Of the
body would gladly vote, are prevented from
being acted upon by the parliamentary
tactics resorted to by the managers of the
various appropriations. What is still worse,
of late years the House Committee on APP
preparations has been in the habit of so ar
ranging matters as to block business up to
almost the very close Of the session, and at
the same time to delay reporting their
measures till the end of the session. A
most extraordinary aud fragrant instance of
this practice has occurred during the present
session, when the Chairman OF the Commit
tee, MT. Randall presented two very i'm
portant bills, on which he asked the House
to suspend the rules and act upon without
consideration, IN order to prevent the pos
u Ah CAiAS eScSIOA VI NSAA-
gress through failure to provide funds
TO carry on the Government for the ensuing
fiscal year, Many Members felt called upon
to rise III their places and protest against
these outrageous methods Of passing bills
which voted away millions of dollars out Of
the Treasury, but finally they were COM
PEELED 10 yield to the exigencies of the stu
alton and pass the Deficiency Bill, which
appropriated S4,O0O,OOO, and the great ON
nibus Sundry Civil Bill in this way. The
latter provides for the payment of the entire
civil list Of the Government, and contains
hundreds of other important matters. 1t
embraced sc pages Of printed matter. Itwas
finally passed, however in a lump. and sent
to the Senate, absolutely without the
knowledge on the part of tlree-fourths Of
the Members of the House as to what it
really contained CT omitted. This bill was
not q small affair, but it proposed to dispose
of the enormous sum OF some 500, 500, 900.
The unfortunate River and HarbOr Bill,
after having been banded about the House
of Representatives for two weeks, finally
WAS obliged to yield as az itemized measure.
and the House disposed Of ii by placing the
limit st s., 900, 900 70 be expended under the
Secretary of War for the continuance Of
works in progress of construction.
This settled the question of the Hennepin
Canal for this Congress. and all other new
works for the improvement of internal
navigation.

moment.

JUICE WILLIAM D. KELLEY, Of Penn
syivania, made an eloquent argument in the
House Of Representatives last week in favor
Of an appropriation to assist in carrying on
the New Orleans Exposition. He appealed
to the National sense OF honor pledged to
the people of the world whose exhibits had
been gathered there from the far corners OF
the earth, not to allow the exhibition to
close in disgrace for the want of little
money. He showed that the industrial in
terests of the country demarded that the
enterprise he sustained.
Mr.. Horr, of Michigan, one Of the broad
est-minded men in the House, happily hit
upon plan which removed objection, by
providing that the money should be dis
bursed by an officer of the Treasury Depart
ment, aud that all debts outside Of the State
of Louisiana and all premiums should first
be settled out of the money thus appIopri-
ated before any part of it was devoted to
other Liabilities.
The House then agreed 10 the PROPOSE
ton to give $4,000 for the pnEpose indi-
Gated

DO NOT pRoCRAsrENaTE.

We take occasion to remind our readers
whose subscriptions have expired up to date
that their names will have to be taken off
the list after this weeks issue, except in
is with great reluctance that re part with
any patron to whom we have been sending
our paper each week for more or less time in
the past. We're we able it would give us
pleasure to extend the time for payment of
subscriptions to suit the convenience of all.
The fact is, however, as our subscribers will
understand that when we furnish an eight
page SO column paper, made up entirely of
original matter, and printed with the latest
and most efficient mechanical appliances that
are known TO newspaper publishers, and all
for the Insignificant sufn of two cents per
week, that it is simply impossible, from a
business standpoint, to carry any names on
the list where the subscription price has not
been received. Any other policy would alb
solutely prohibit the publication Of paper
of this character at the low price for which
we furnish THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE. One
dollar, which will secure the paper for
another entire year to each one Of you, is
small matter, but in the aggregate it is of
vital Importance to US, aud We fear that
simply forgetfulness and procrastination on
the part of our readers sometimes leads to
the breaking of Of the pleasant relationship
which has existed between US for a year or
more.
