The Cincinnati Commercial of Monday com mented on Secretary Sun ton's dispatch ac companying the bherman-Joboeton peace treaty with deSefved aeveritj. This ia a epeci- mn of thenanner in which the Commercial felt constrained to epeak of Secretary Stanton in tins connection : So elarimr was the impropriety of some of the paragraphs that bave;recently reached us over the eignatunrof Edwin H. Stanton, that we seriously doubted their genuineness, and hesitated to publish them, learinr that, by some mysterious accident in tlte telegraph office, that which the Secretary of War had written for the public information,, had been mixed with the sensation specials of a New York reporter itl tTashington. The follow-Itig is a passage of the responsible paternity of whichi though it came iu an official bulletin, we were incredulous, until all room for doubt was removed 1 "The orders of General Sberiiiafa tb Geherttl Stoneman, to withdraw from" Salisbury and join him, will probably open the ay for Davis tb escape to Mexico or tu rope with his plunder. ' This the New York Tribune appropriately classifies- with "the stuff that fools are fed on." and says to its readers, in commenting on the silly letter about General Sherman, written at Richmond and. published In Xht London Times: "Let us not be frightened out of our common-sense by such hobgoblins as these, even if such high authority as the War Department assures the country that the removal of a military force from a little village in a sparsely populated region' of North Carolina opened the gates ot Mexico, two thousand miles away, to the escape of Jeff. Davis." Further, to show how little weight attaches to the probabilities that the fccretary of War conjures trom ms neatea imagination, ana thrusts upon the country, we quote from a rebel dispatch, dated Augusta, Ga., April 17, as loiiowst "Salisbury, N. C, was reoccupied by our troops on the 14th. The Yankees did netdo much damage in the place." ' This is a simple news dispatch 1 The rebels could have had no interest in deceiving any one about the date of their re-occupation of the place, and it Is undoubtedly authentic So it appears that Salisbury was in possession of the rebels after the retirement of oloneman, four days before Sherman was acetified of withdrawing him from that place. But the inconsiderate personal attacks upon General Sherman are of less consequence than some other things to, which .odr attention is forcibly directed, and for which we are mdeut- ed to the inconsiderate course of the Secretary or War. wuetner toe weapons ue uas oeen placing in the hands of the chiefs of the Cop perheads, wfMrbear anregeflTtay t Been fw the following specimen, which we take from the Davton Empire: . . "HIM 'SgroRS thx soVLi that 111 Secretary of War declares that 'rebels' while in their nioet prosperous condition were not only willitrg, without further fighting, to surrender tKeir arms, disperse their armies, ad rait tie Federal Courts and other authority within their States, restore the Union, dissolve the Confederacy, yield to the Corstitution. obey the laws and take oaths of allegiance to the United States, but to do 'better' than this; but that the late Administration 'deliberately, re-peatedlv and solemnly rejected' their proposi tions. fSee Stanton's official dispatch of April 22, 165." ; In the list of cine reasons "among many" assigned for the rejection of the Sherman memorandum, the following was the 8th : "It gave terms that had been deliberately, repeatedly and solemnly rejected by President Lincoln, and better terras than the rebels had ever asked in their most prosperous condition."It can not be disputed that the Empire's in terpretation of this text is admissible, bilt iuef e is to be observed, in this connection, the fact that the nine .reasons for the repudiation of the North Carolina conference, $ hile universally accepted as official, were not actually included in the War bulletin aver the signature of the SeCMafy of Wat, but were an appendix to it. ' If they were not the Secretary a own pfo duction, it is time he took the benefit of deny ing them, for the people, as the case stands, must ask themselves whether they hate suffered ft da da unparalleled and awful delusion as 10 me. r.ecescuv 01 ine war. or wneiner oeo- retary Stauton has been so eager to make up a cade, Against General Sherman as to be heed- less 01 me trutn. we snow, uowever. for tbe whole history of the country for four years, with the exception of this single item, is in proof, that the rebels never asked ant terms, hor Would accept any, inconsistent with the recognition and independence of the Southern Confederacy, tinlil they asked theto of Sher man. ; - Edwia Booth Savei the Life of the Frei ident'i 8on.

What iay'our desire? :'- Some person in the crowd relied: "We wish to hear some words from you on this sad occasion." Gen. Pierce proceeded: I wish I could address to you words of sol ace. But that can hardly be done. The magnitude of the calamity, in all of its aspects, is oyerwhelmingU-If youh hearts are oppressed by events more calculated to awaken profound sorrow and regret than, any which have hitherto occurred in our history, mi.ie mincles its deepest regrets -and sorrows wih yours. - It is I'd be hoped that the great wickedness and atrocity was confined, morally and actually, to the heads and hearts of but individuals of all those who stilly evlve on this continent; and that tbey may stJeedily, and . in.obedieiice to law, meet tHte punish men t due to their uur pa railed crimes. It is well thatvou it is well that I Well that all men worth v to be called citizens, of the United States, make manifest in all suitable forms, the emotions incident to thb bereavement and distress which have been brought to the hearths and homes of the two most conspicuous families of tbe republic. I give them my warm, out-gushing sympathy. as 1 am sure alt persons within the hearing of my voice mast do. liut beyond personal gi-ie! and Joss, there will abide with us- inevitably the most painful memories. Becawse, ai citl- zens.obedient to law, fevering the Constitution, holding fast, tn tile Union thankful for the period of history which succeeded the Revolution in so many years, of peaceful gTowth and prosperity, and loving, with the devotion of tFU8 and faithful children, all that belongs to the advancemeht and glory of tlib nation, we can never forget or cease to- deplore the great crime and deep stain.

Good night. : After the Catholics The American. Preslyteridn Wants suffrage conferred upon the colored man so that he tfiay antagonize the Irish Catholic vote : . Should we, therefore, admit Ihe colored tnah to the fight of citizenship, what would be involved in that concession ? Not merely the extension of a right to him which has long been allowed to a race no worthier, no loftier in mental qualifications, no fitter by birth and earlv associations fbf the privilege than he; but the introduction into our political com binations of an eIemeDt--heretofore so dun-Cult to find-alcula'tedjto antagonize the deadly influence' of the Irishj'i.CaihOiic vote."

And any attempt on the part of politicians, to use the once formidable weapon of the Irish 3thoHc vote for objects manifestly injurious to the principles of republicanism, or 10 the advantage of the Papal Church in this Conn- try, would instantty rally the votes of the col ored citizens of the country on tjie side of free dom and or r rotes tantism.

She was subsequently received into society in India, where her antecedents- were not too critically examined, but in three vears after ward Mr. B. died and she was left a widow. ' V Having no longer any .tie in India, she returned to England, whither she had been preceded by Mr. A. and his three little children. Having taken up her residence in a fashionable town in a midland county celebrated for the curative property , of its waters, Mrs. B. soon obtained admission to good society as the widow of a British PfHcer, and every beautiful and attractive woman to boot. Here, after an interval of nearlv two years, she again encoun tered Jfr. A., and the result is. that they have again married. The children of Mr. A. have not recognized their mother, and all' thev know is that "Papa married a widow." . Beat this in a sensation ndvel if you can.

G. Harrold who for many years was the principal clerk in the naval store. We believe that he was educated .in Washington and at Chsrlotte Hall, in St. " Mary's -county, Md., and, until recently, was a clerk in a drug store in the Sixth ward. He has been known as a sympathizer with the South, but noone suspected that he would go to any desperate length in her behalf. He had been out of employment for some time past, but - managed to to keep a horse a very :fast paping animal at Pope's stables, on K street south, which he took out of the stable about sundown on Friday tight, April 14th, (tlie nigh t of the assassination.) As he ;Cjpate4 and rode..off he sung out to those in charge of the stable: It any one asks for me tell them I've gone to New York." On the same afternoon he told some of his acquaintance that he was to St. Mary's cpUnty..-y- . , "Within a month er - two. past ; he. ipent much of his time with Booth, and it seemed tP hjs frien.ds that he suddenly became infatuated with Booth, and no longer than Tuesday, thellth, one of his acqnaiotances as Red him how he had. .become so thick with Booth, to which he replied, "oh, Booth is a good fel-low.f . . . . .

He entered a den containing a lion atid - a. lioness, and made them go. through various performances The spectators loudly applauded. Elated by these plaudits, Soulages determined to do something more extraordinary" and for that purpose collected in one den a lion, a lioness, a white bear, two black beara : fouhyenas, two wolves and a tiger..: He then .. entered himself, whip in hand, but the door-was scarcy closed when the tiger made a spring at the white bear. This was -the siznal for a terrific struggle between all the beasts, who appeared at once to recover their natural ferocity. Soulages, hoping to. intimidate je animals, fired two pistol shots at the tiger 'and " white bear. This act sealed hia fate, for the tiger, leaving the bear, sprang upon his keeper, threw him down and began to tear him with-teeth and claws. The other beasts, rendered furious by the auleU of blood, all fell upon the unhappy man, -and in. a few minutes he was torn to pieces and almost entirely devoured, ia presence of the horror-struck spectators, who were powerless to render, assistance.
