His hatred of the Confederacy is on a level with his sycophancy to Lincoln and Seward. A narrow understanding and a cold heart peculiarly fit him to play the tool of a despotism, and he plays it with a zest which shows that he is in his element, and feels it.

He came in his private carriage, without escort and alone. The carriages were arranged all around the square and completely blockaded the passage way; but little or no confusion occurred. As we have said before, the marriage took place at half past 8 o'clock. At that hour the bride and groom entered the room, followed by the following named ladies and gentlemen acting as bridesmaids and groomsmen: Mator was clad in a suit of rich black cloth, with the usual addition of a white silk vest. Among the dignitaries of the evening we noticed the President, Abraham Lincoln, together with nearly all the members of the Cabinet--Messrs. Stanton, Bates, and others.
