Non-Interference.
A great deal may be said in a very few
'words. Some weeks ago, Lord PALinat -
ETON made a speech, in the House .'f Com
mons, which happily inustret' this mul
•Lum in parse oratory. A .nember of Par
liament, w h o h a d w .,re himself somewhat
notorious durias the last terrible four
years, by hip somewhat un-English and
inhuman sympathy with the pro-slavery
rebels, who tried, by perjury and treason,
to constitute " the so-called Southern
Confederacy," demanded of Lord Parzion-
Prori, as head of the British Government,
'whether it was his intention, in that or any
other capacity, to remonstrate with the
Government at Washington against the
punishment of JEFFERSON DAVIS ; and his
Lordship answered in the following words
-3i it is not the intention of her Majesty's
Ministers to interfere in the internal affairs
of any country." That was a sensible
reply—" only this, and nothing more." As
an exposition of judicious political prin
ciple, it was at once emphatic, declarative,
decided, and sensible. It has put an end,
:Indeed, to all attempts to change the public
policy of England. No other legislator
has thought it expedient to press the sub
ject upon the surprising and sagacious
octogenarian who is the virtual ruler of the
British empire. Whatever may be said,
`written, Or spoken, outside of the walls of
Ft. Stephen's, (as the new Palace of West
.ll.inster is still called) it is certain that
the present Government of England will
avoid interference with the affairs of this
country.
The policy of interference, once so posi
tively acted upon by British statesmen, has
plunged England into financial difficulties
tnder which successive generations will
heavily suffer, probably while the British
empire exists. In 1786—three years after
the close of the war which ended in the
establishment of the United States of Ame
rica—the national debt of England amount
ed to 2268,000,060. One hundred years
earlier, while I TAMP.S STIIAIer was tottering
an his throne, and his son-in-law, WILLIAM
Of L'Taasau, was preparing to wrest the
sceptre from his incapable haad, the Bei
lith notional dcbt. was nine more than
7,00,000. On the accession of Queen ANNE,
in 1702, it had swelled to £16,500,000.
Anne reigned only twelve years, but at her
-death the debt had been extended to £54,-
L 90,000. Between 1714 and 1786, it had
increased to £268,000,000. At that time the
second WILLIAM PlTT—then only twenty
seven years old—was Prime Minister of
Ingland. The French revolution broke
out in 1789, and Pm, who was the very
incarnation of Toryism, weakly yielded to
tlanonoE the Third's predilection in favor
of " legitimacy," which has been described,
with terseness and truth, as
" The tight cerise of Kings to govern wrong.) ,
The execution of Lours XVI. and his
wife, followed by the exodus of a crowd of
princes and nobles from France, who found
an asylum in England, provoked PITT so
much, that he plunged into an expensive
war, nominally against what were described
as the Jacobin principles of the French
republic, but the real purpose of which, as
the result proved, was to dictate to the
French nation that their form of govern
ment muse be monarchical, and their ruler
must be one of the hated Bourbon race.
'With little intermission, from the year 1793
to 1814, England was engaged in a costly
'European war, and, at its close, the next
Surviving brother of Louts XVI. was forced.

nets. In 1815, this war was renewed by
The return of NAPOLEON. At his final fall,
It appeared that these twenty years had
:increased the debt from 268 to 865 mil ,
lions sterling—an increase of £597,000,000.
This was the cost of interfering with the
I nternal affairs of foreign countries ; and,
_mm that time, taught by such dearly
lau ght experience, England's policy has
been to let foreign nations regulate their
Mill affairs, choose their own form of

government, and select their own rulers.
Thus, in 1830, when France deposed and
exiled CHARLES X., and converted the Duke
of Orleans into a citizen King, England
did not interfere, Belgium was separated
from Rolland and formed into an inde
pendent monarchy; Greece, separated from
Turkey, became a kingdom ; Lows PRILt-
Lynn, after eighteen years' reign, was sent
away, and a second republic was formed in
France; the Empire was re-established in
a few years, with LOUIS NAPOLEON on the
throne ; - VICTOR EMMANBEL, from being
King of Sardinia, was made King of Italy ;
Orno, of Greece, was exiled, and a young
prince from Denmark set up in his place ;
and, latest of all, the King of Denmark
was deprived of the best part of his do
minions, and compelled to yield to an army
of Prussian and Austrian invaders. Eng
land, which had paid very dearly for her
interference policy, abandoned it after NA.-
rormotq's fall ; and, so far from saying that
a foreign country may not choose any man
to rule it, distinctly allows it to be conceded
that every government de facto shall be
recognized, when the ruler de jure is un•
able to hold iliS own. l'AimEnsrois's non
interference policy, so lately enunciated,
really has been the policy on which Eng
land has acted during the last half century.
• Such a policy, also, is thoroughly Ame
rican, and has been so ever since we became
a nation. We do not want to intermeddle
with other countries, wherever they may
be, and we will not allow foreign rulers or
statesmen to intermeddle with us. They
will do it at their peril. We have mainly
been a war-avoiding, peace maintaining,
hard-working, highly-inventing, and great
ly.enterprising people. We have avoided
quarrelling with other nations. If Lord
PALMERSTON will only take care that his
non-interference principle be fully and
fairly acted up to (for there's such a thing
as keeping the
-word of promise to the ear
and breaking it to the hope) he will do
well, not only for his country, but for all
mankind. While he is in office he will do
this, we believe ; but the general election,
Which will take place when the present
summer is over, may terminate in favor of
the Tory party, his opponents. We confess
that with Lord DERBY in Downing street,
opposed to us as he has been and is, the
prospect of continued amity with England
would be much diminished.
Lincoln MeMenai Temple in Wash
ington.
We have before ns a letter addressed to the
Christian Patriots of America, by the Board of
Trustees recently appointed to raise the necesary
funds for the purchase of Ford's Theatre in Wash
ington—to be held as a memorial of Abraham
Lincoln—by the Young Mena Christian Association
of the United States and British Provinces,
Of the Board of Trustees Major General 0. 0.
Howard is the President ; and General Fisk, of St.
Louis; Messrs. G. H. Stuart, of Philadelphia; Henry
D. Cooke, of Washington ; Edward S. Tarry, of
Boston ; William E. Dodge, of New York ; John V,
Farwell, of Chicago; A. E. Chamberlain, of Cimino
Doti; G. P. Hayes, of Baltimore ; Joseph Aibree,
of Pittsburg ; T. B. Roberts, of San Francisco ; and
W. Ballantyne, B. H. Steinmetz, Z, Richards, and
W. A. Thompson, of Washington, constitute the
members assisting him.
The first meeting was held at the banking house
of Say Cooke & Co., in Washington, when those
gentlemen were elected Treasureia, and A. E.
Browne, Corresponding Secretary.
The Board represents, that after fall consulta
tion, they feel sure that the money can be raised;
and In order to secure the property, they have
obtained from Mr. Ford a contract, by which he
binds himself to give a clear title to the same
whenever they shall have paid to him the sum of
($lOO
.010) one hundred thousand dollars. This will
be closed, and possession given, if ten thousand
dollars are paid by the Ist Of July. Till then, the
trustees have an famine° written agreement from
Itir. Ford, Abundant time Is allowed for the
balance of the payments. The property consists
of the theatre, with a wing containing twelve
rooms ; a three-story brick building adjoining the
theatre, twenty-two feet front and slaty feet de•fl ;
the furniture of the theatre, the fee simple r the
land on which the theatre stands, and a porPetual
lases of the land OD Which the thr.o-story build.
lug stands.
It is ;proposed to call the building the Lincoln
m e morial Temple.
The objeoto of purchasing it are :
1. To consecrate It henceforth as a memorial build.
2. To make it the centre of a united Christian in
fluence in the capital of the nation—a home where
young men from all parts of the country, coming to
Vaehlngton, may and a cordial welcome—where a
large library and reading-room will continually in
vite their presence.
S. To secure a large and convenient hall for proper
meetings, lectures, and other kindred purposeS,
which will afford a source of healthy and profitable
entertainment.
The budding is to be under the immediate care Of
the Young Men's Christian Assooiation of Wash
ington, subject to the control of the board of trus
tees. A secretary will be employed to devote his
whole time to the development and execution of the
OM and purposes of the above-mentioned associa
tion.
It Is intended to set apart one room as a depository
for all Christian memorials of the war which may
be entrusted to the custody of the association.
To purchase the properly, make the necessary
alterations, and have a fund to start the library and
reading•room, it will be necessary to raise at least
one hundred and twentyflve thousand dollars. It
Is therefore that an appeal is made by the trustees
to the Christian and patriotic people of the Vatted
States to aid them in raising the amount. It is
believed alt parts of the country will be deeply in•
Wrested in the success of this movement. Will not
all help to rescue from profanation and consecrate
to all time, the place which the first martyr to our
freedom made sacred by his death and sanctified by
his blood, shed for that cause for which he had
labored and that country to whose enrolee the lad
years of his life had been se freely and so tithed -
tatingly devoted 1

The Indiana Railroad Accident —Gross
Exaggeration and as Singular Denl'l,
On Saturday last the public was startled bythe
Intelligence of a most terrible railroad disaster in
Indiana. All who had friends travelling in that
section of the country were naturally endow( for
the lists of killed and wounded to be published, fear
ing that these friends might be among she number
of the sufferers. On Sunday they vere gratified,
and the public at large was surprised to hear that
the railroad authorities officially denied the occur•
rem of any su ch accident. Beth the former state
ment and its as singular dente]. have now been pro•
fl o u nced to be equally luesirreot. It appears that
there was an aceident, resulting In three deaths and
the wounding of five soldiers. At the same time the
accident was by no means so frightful as had been
stated. Now, to the exaggeration of the first re
port, we might have not unreasonably taken a strong
excepti o n, I m o It not been for the singular and un
justifiable denial of the disaster by the railroad an•
thorities. The public has a clear right to know the
exact truth In all oases of this description, and it
Mils be told them. Reports ought not to be exag
gerated by the mischief. making of the penny•adiner,
but still less should they be absolutely denied by the
officials to whom In seine sort the positive responsi

bravely rushed forward, and when within a few feet

him, but missed his aim. Catruch returned thoi
compliment, and Cabanas fell, wounded. In thi

7fIE NEGRO POPULATION OF THESOUTH.
How they are Affected by the Transition
from War to Peace—The Conduct of
their Former Masters Toward them
and their Conduet—A Resume of their
Present Situation.
The war, we are told twenty times a day, has
crushed slavery in the South, and elevated the slave
to the dignity of a freedman. The relation between
him alld his master has changed, to be sure;
the accounts that come to ns from the South are
true, his condition, temporarily at least ; is not much
bettered. A course of petty and spiteful persecu
tion has been inaugurated in almost all the Southern
States east of the Mississippi, which is damaging
to the freedmen, and disgraceful to the humanity of
his former owners. Swindled, starved, cheated, the
cold• shoulder turned to him everywhere, he is forced
to works of retaliation—to pillage, arson, and in
some Oases (we are glad to say they are very few) to
murder. With little or no pay, even where lie is
employed, he must adopt forcible moans of obtain
ing for those depending on hies, food, clothing, and
shelter.
HIE CONDITION IN VIRGINIA.
Oar readers are already aware of the delegation
Sent by the colored men of Richmond to the Prest•
dent ; complaining of the cruelty of the. Southern
whites dwelling Mire them. Their cases were
properly attended to, and in a little while they
will be able to be freedmen indeed. Bat still we
read in the IllfilMond Bulletin, which has still
some of its OW pro•slavery leaven, of "the excesses
of negroes," "the thieving of negroes," and so on•
to the end if the chapter. Some of the journals in
the intenor of the State complain that "the nit.
gross will not work i" but this state of things is
owing, perhaps, in great part, to the scale of wages
—malneufliolont, miserable soale—offered to him.
NOIV/11 VA-1%07./11A.
Numerous accounts from Ms State agree that
there is an entire absence of good feeling toward
the freedmen. A letter to the New York Tims
says :
In many cases they have been beaten and other
wise more cruelly treated even than when they were
slaves, and some of them are held in bondage as of
old. Some of our officers are said tube cognizant of
these facts, but living a lire or ease In garrtson,_and
being under the Influence of the old slaveholders,
who dinner them and supper them, and ride them,
not a few are inclined to close their eyes to these
outrages. The soldiers also aid the whites in
abusing the negroes, and between the two poor
°Woe is cuffed about more than ever. The influence
of the aristocrats here on the military IS anything
but beneficial. General Schofield and other eons
menden seem to have a clear conception of the
right and wrong of the matter, but their subordi
nates in COmniand of posts and garrisons have in
150/310 cases been guilty of 21111110 H repretiensltdo
conduct."
The old and decrepit negroee Who cannot take
oars of themselves, are dead weight" to theplant
ere, who make no effort to better their condition.
SOUTH OAHOLINA
Strange to say, in this State where the secession
heresy had its birth, there are more evidences of a
desire to do something at least for the benefit of the
freed slaves. But of course there are many excep
tions, and oorresponding,hardshlps to the weaker
class. Correspondence from Orangeburg, South
Carolina, says
"The hopeless apathy of the poor whites, which
is something appalling, renders the planters die
posed to do the best they can with the blacks; but
there are large numbers who evidently Intend to do
as the Jamaica planters did—swindle the freed
slave under any and Ovary pretext. Their 00eVer•
Satin AhOWS it. Unless all. South Oarollast is gar•
risoned by anaelavery troops, this State will either
become a desert by the desertion of the laborols or
pass into other hands. No man in the North, who
has not lived among these planters, Cartwiden - ma
what a brutal and vicious class of persons - they are."
GBOXGIA
None of the published ammunti from this State,
as far as we have seen, make any complaints. The
Pka t egrvA n io i3l arga l atlis7 and are offering
fair wages and the old homes to their labor. The
negroes are tractable; those who fled during Sher
man's marsh, or at other times during the war, are
fag, returning to go on In the old way.
The Louisville Press of the 19th thug Complains
,4 There has never been a time in Kentucky, pre
vious to the year 1865, when anything like the op
pression and cruelties toward the colored rase now
in lull practice, were known among us. Nothing
meaner, baser , more niggardly, and ornel, was ev e"
lumen on this continent. Many of the °lass calls
Orihere are exhibiting an amount of besotted stu
pidity and brutality almost incredible. home at
the cases are so utterly vile in their character that
we are tempted to publish the names of the loath
some rebels who are guilty of these practices. What
would become of the remnant of the negro race in
Kentucky, but for the protesting, just, humane,
and judicious character of Major General Palmer,
we are at a loss to know."

"The steamship Golden Rule, belonging to the

there be, who yet harbor hostile sentiments to

This Idea of submission is a terrible bugbear.
It is galling to submit under any oircumstenoes.
But we should have thought Of this before we took
up arms. The finality of war is the submission of
one or the other of the parties. War is the arbitrao
ment of power, In welch the stronger prevails and
the wertimr submits. Had we mustered more
strength, and had our resources been greater than
that of the North, we should probably have pre
sailed, and the North would have been compelled
to submit to the separation we sought. There
would have been no help for them. There Is no ap
peal from the decisions of battles. We referred
our cause to that arbitrament. We fought the bat

against us, and we were forced to yield. It is oar
Own fault, teen, that submission is oar fate, and. e
Contend that it is not a hard fate. For before the
war we stood on equal terms in the Union with the
North. They neither controlled us, nor we them .
All sections stood on an equality. Our submis.
elm now, therefore, cannot be so unendurable,
since it only places us in the position which we
had occupied for eighty odd years before we re.

The Former Home and Family of Henry

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
tells a melancholy story of Ashland, the late home
stead of Henry Clay, and gives the history of his
descendants. The old homestead of Henry Clay, it
seems, is now occupied by the family of Hon. Thos.
Clay, one of his sons, and present Minister to one
of the South American Governments. It is owned
by the heirs of Tames B. Clay, who, It will be re
membered, died In Canada about a year ago. The
house in which Mr. Clay lived when at home. was
torn down some years since by James, and a magni
ficent structure erected on its site, and there Is no

Tho Resolutions or the Ohio State Valois
Among the resolutions paseed by the late Union
Mids. Convention Of OW were the following c.
That the name and fame of Abraham Lincoln
stand out from the history of the epoch unrivalled
and alone; and,while we deplore his untimely and
cruel death, and venerate his memory, it becomes
us to imitate ids wisdom, firmness, and moderation
in the treatment of vexed questions, and especially
to imitate his example, in waiting for the solution of
difficultlea to be furnished by the progress Of time
and the 'ogle of events.
That the President, Andrew Johnson, by his un
wavering devotion to the.. Union, through years of
the severest trial, has now our highest confidence,
and that we obeerfully endorse the policy of his Ad
ministration, looking to the restoration of peace and
civil order in the so-called seceded States, and that,
as Union men of Ohio, we will itiVe him our hearty
and undivided support.
That four years of sanguinary war, with its fear
ful sacrifice of life -and. treasure, forced upon us by
the siaveholdors' rebellion, hair demonstrated to us,
and to the world, that. slavery and its institutions
are irreconcilably opposed to freedom and free in
stitutions; and all the teachings of IfisSory, the deal.
trigs of Providence, arid our own bitter experience,
point unerringly to their overthrow and eradication,
as OUT only safeguard against the recurrence of like
evils in the future.
That while we are =IOUs for an early reconstruc

we demand that suctareconstruction shall be at snob

J. B. Van Dien, who says he was a clerk in. the
rebel War Department, writes to the. Chao!matt
commercia/ that in February last, he wita present at
an interview between Booth and . Davis. Booth
was introduced .to the Confederate chief by Benja
min, and two other young men were in his comp
pay. Who story runs thus:
Booth commenced by saying that a Itlein war
formed,. by parties in the B.orthern States and
Canada, friends of the Confederacy, to capture or
to assassinate Mr. Lincoln ; that he had a full list
of the names, and all they desired was an official
recognition on the part of the Confederate authori
ties, and that then the project would certainly be
executed. He farther stated that. they desired no
pecuniary assistance from the Government, as that
was already secured ; that theywore not after gain,
but Were solvated only,by a desire to render the
confederacy a service - by removing the tyrant

Dinah entrernig to the
country and the only, o bstacle in the way of a

as I can now remember. Messrs. Davis and
lireokinridge both, expressed their hearty con
demnation of the. plot, and advised Booth to
think no more of it. That they felt that their
amuse was just, and that God, in Ws own good
time, would give. them the victory, without resort
ing to anything but the most honorable warfare,
and that they. were willing to Maim Lincoln's
punishment for- his treat crime, to the Providence
or a just God. and aa outraged people. Benjamin
said nothing. BOOBS then retired, and the last
words Muttered lathe room were :• " Ile mud die 1"
After Booth and MU friends were gone, Davis Said:
"Those fellows Same here merely to see the Rich
mond sights, and their assassination-plot is a mere
fudge." , Breckbaridge and Benjamin laughed, and
the latter said, "I think so." the matter received
to mare attention, and all agreed with air. Davis
that the plot was Mere "fudge." I am satisfied
that none. of there ever expected what has since
become ea deadly a reality. In oonclusion, let me
