The Straw Hat Lament.

How dear to my head was the straw hat Of
summer.
The plain-woven basket that now am fain
To swap for the sable and felt newcomer,
Which, hot as an oven, is baking my brain.
Like poor crofter thatch on a hut Of Kilkenny,
The breezes of morning crept though Il
alway;
Twas lighter and brighter and cooler than any.
And cheaper-it cost but quarter in May!

The bill introduced by Senator Hoar
providing for inquests under national au-
thority. says the Philadelphia Press. is
timely measure. 1t was, 10 doubt, sug-
gested by the recent horrible massacre in
Carrollton, Miss, and the evident inten-
ton of the state authorities to permit the
perpetrators to go unpublished. There
are localities in which such inquests as
those proposed by Senator Hoar's bill are
needed, not only in the South, but in the
newly settled sections of the West. 1t
would aid in protecting the Chinese from
local violence as we'll as the negroes in
the Southern States. But it will be OPP
posed, doubtless, by solid vote of the
democratic Senators. Rather than con-
sent to such an encroachment upon the
alleged authority of the states they would
see every courthouse in the South deluged
with the blood of innocent colored men
and every Chinaman in the country driven
into the Pacific Ocean.

Railroads in the Indian Territory

The favorable action of the House Com
mittee on Indian Affairs on the bill introduced
by Congressman Allen, giving railroads the
right of way through the Indian Territory
renders it not improbable that it may become
n law. 1t has for some time been recognized
that the question of the right of wav across
the Indian Territory could not be much
longer postponed on account of the remarka-
bic growth and development. during the last
ten years, of the country Immediately sur
rounding that Territory and the power to
grant such right has been declared by a Sc
ries of decisions of the Supreme Court to
belong to Congress There is quite gener-
al expectation, which appears to be we'll
founded. that with the revival of trade and
/ business the next five years will witness a
great activity in railroad building between
the West and Southwest, and this will lead
to demands for special acts permitting the
crossing of public lands and the Indian Ter
ritory by the proposed roads. Twelve such
measures have been introduced during the
present session of Congress, and as Mr..
Allen explains in his report accompany
ing his bill, its object is to allow all
companies, who come asking the priv
ilege in good faith, and who have satisfactory
and well secured pecuniary responsibility.
to secure that which they ask under gener-
al. instead of a special act. The bill is a
matter of convenience to the railroad COM
panies, and it may be regarded as in the n-
/ terest of the Indians, inasmuch as it is more
likely to fully protec ct their rights than would
be the case were the right of way to be grant
ed by special bill in the case of each road.
! The bill requires that before foot of rail-
road is constructed, or even the right TO con-
structon is admitted. there shall be a bona
fide paying in of actual cash. large enough to

LincOln's Diplomacy.
How THE GREAT LEADER, HARRAssED AT
HONE. KEPT WARY EYE ON ESGLAND.

New YORK, March 26. A new light is
thrown upon one Of the most famous dispatch
es sent out by the government at Warrington
during the rebellion. This dispatch was from
Secretary Seward to Charles Francis Adams,
who had succeeded George M Dallas as the
American minister to Great Britain. It was
in the troublous time just after the firing. up
on Fort Sumter and while there was no longer
question tat much blood would be shed
Mr.. Stewards despatch was dated May 81,
1861, and snch was its tineness and strength
that ii did much toward keeping the British
government out of the great struggle. This
fineness and strength, as it now appears, was
due largely to Mr.. Lincoln; for to him Mr.
Seward submitted the draft of the dispatch,
and by him it was handled with skill quite
remarkable in view of his many distractions.
In June of that year. Congress asked the
President for the original draft of the dis
patch, but it was not furnished, for state rea-
sons well understood. and no copy of the
draft has ever appeared in print. Allen
Th0rndyke Rice now comes forward with the
original of the dispatch, and fac smile of
the text, showing Mr.. Llncon's corrections in
Mr.. Stewards copy, will be published in the
April number of the North American Re-
view.
"A part VI lHis BTtdt stdte paper III us orig
inal form, is in the handwriting of Mr. Sew
ard, and other parts of it were evidently writ
ten, at his dctation, by several of his clerks.
The President went over the document thus
prepared, and ordered numerous changes He
directed that omissions be made he smoothed
asperitles; he heightened the dignitied polite
ness of Mr.. Seward; he changed even the
syntaX of the paper; and no unprejudced
mind can fail to admit that every one OF his
changes was an Improvement. In the general
opening of his dispa' oh, Mr.. Seward had said :
1--WE intend to have a clear and simple record
of whatever issue NAV arise between us and
Great Britain Mr.. Lincoln wrote Leave
out"
But the most important change made bv the
President was probably this-M Mr.. Sew ard had
said ''Wben this act of intervention is dis
tinctly performed, We, from that hour, shall
cease to be friends, and become once more as
we have twice before been. be forced to be
enemies of Great Britain - He first changed
and then struck out the most vehement words
of MIR. Stewards dispatch. With reference
to England, Seward had said If that ma.
ton will now repeat the same great crime"
Lincoln changed both the tone and the gram
mar of this phrase "lf that nation" said
he, ''shall now repeat the same great error"
