THE RESULT.
The table of official returns, given in
nnotlior column, places tlie election of
Judge Sbarswood beyond all doubt.—
The majority is not so large as we had
supposed it would bo, from the fact that
several of our heavy Democratic coun
ties failed to do their 'duty, but Is suf
ficiently IftCffO fnrniJ practical results.—
The result, greatin securing such a man
as Judge Sharswood upon the Supreme
Bench, and greater still in its deep sig
nificance for tlie future, brings Pennsyl
vania once more into the Democratic
column. Wrested from the hands of the
corrupt and infamous cabal of Congreg
sional traitors, Who laid their sacrileg
ious hands upon the Constitution of
their country andattempted to tear from
it every line and syllable which bars
their way to power, the “Old Key
stone” now nobly her stand on the
side of the people ami the people’s
rights, and boldly proclaims her fealty
to the “common bond and common
brotherhood.” In a short time Kcw
York and Mew Jersey will add their
voices in behalf of “ the good old cause,”
and increase the general joy by show
ing their devotion to tin- Democratic
faith.
GRAV'D DEMOCRATIC JCDIEEE.
We trust our friends in town and
country will turn out in mass to. partic
ipate iu the grand Democratic Jubilee
to be held in Carlisle, on. this (Thurs
day.) cyeqing. The various committees,
appointed on Monday evening, have
been actively at work, and from the
preparations already made we have no
doubt it will prove a highly creditable
uiTair. An address will be delivered by
Professor Frank Gillelen, after which
there will be a bonfire on the square, a
torch-light procession, a display of fire
works, interspersed with music, the
ringing of bellsand the firing of cannon.
We undeistand airangements are being
made to secure extra trains along the
line of the Cumberland Valley Railroad;
and if the project is successful, it will
afford ourfricndsmShipponsburgjXew
ville and Meehanicsburg, a fine opportu
nity to shore in our rejoicings—and we
hope they will avail themselves of it.—
Democrats of Cumberland Qounty, let
U." make this an occasion long to be re
membered. Let the Demonstration be
a success in numbers, in, display, and in
enthusiasm. Come in your might, and
lot us have a regular old-fashioned
Democratic jollification.
THE fOVXTV OFFICIAL.
* ily reference to the official vote, in
another column, it will be seen Hint
Sbarswood’s majority is 7S0 f a gain of
on lust year’s vote. This is a gain
of which we have cause to feel proud;
but had our Mrong Democratic town
ships dune their duty and gotten their
vote out, our majority would have been
at least 1,000, As tJiu vote stands, we
find assured our gain came entirely from
the ranks of the Republicans. To Uie
noble and patriotic men who determined
to break tlie shackles of party and vote
for tin* safety of their country we must
express our profoundest gratitude,—
Their's was a resolve they will never
have cause to regret as long as they live.
The votes? they cast were votes for peace
and reunion. They were votes? which
spoke words of hope and encourage
ment to the whole country.
\I.I. HAIL OHIO I
Amidst our exultant joy over the vie
-I’iry we must not forget the
thanks due our Democratic brethren of
the ’‘ Buckeye State,” for their glorious
achievements on Tuesday last. They
have defeated the negro suffrage amend
ment to the constitution hy fifty thou
sand majority. They have annihilated
the Republican majority of 42,000, and
elected a majority in both Houses of the
Legislature—and if they have not elect
ed their candidate for Governor, they
have reduced the majority of his oppo
nent to 1,000 or 2,000. We yield the
palm to our brethren in Ohio. Their
triumph is a far more glorious one than
ours. With far greater odds to contend
against, they have done better than we
did. The great glory of their triumph
3b that It secures a Democratic United
States Senator in place of Ben Wade,
the malignant fanatic.
UUItBCrICDT,
Late returns from this State show that
in the returns from one hundred and
sixteen towns the Radicals have gained
three and the Democrats twenty-throe,
which will elect thirty-nine members,
and thus give a handsome majority to
the Democrats on joint ballot in the
next Legislature. New London, Strat
ford, Fnlrfleld and Sayhrook lire among
the towns gained by the Democrats.—
The full returns from the State show
eighty-three towns foy tho Democrats,
and seventy-three towns for the Radi
cals. This Is the first time in thirteen
yearn that the Democrats have carried
a majority of the towns in tills State.—
We have gained over twenty towns this
fall. The Democratic “simoon” has
swept over Connecticut, ns well ns Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
Woodwabd Elected. —Tlie Hon.
(Jcargo W. Woodward is elected to Con
gress, to fill the vacancy in the J2th
District of this State, composed of tho
counties of Luzerne and Susquehanna;
although tho Radicals spent an im
mense sum of money, and worked des
perately to defeat him, Hon. W. W.
Kelclium, his Radical competitor, tele
graphs to a friend in Philadelphia tljat
he has been defeated by Judge Wood
ward after a hard fight, The vote was
very close. Woodward’s majority in
the District is about GOO.
■Sanford Conovee Is learning the
■shoemakihg trade. Ashley ought to be
doing the same tiling, but it is doubtful
whether St. Crispin would allow the
.double Insult to the craft.
CIROAXS OF THE HOUNDED.
The Carlisle Iter a Id, published on the
Friday after the election, contains this
delectable paragraph. Speaking of the
result in this county', the Herald rays:
“ From the partial returns herewith appended.
It will bo seen that tho rebels have added to their
majority in this county, about two hundred over
last year's vote. This result can l>e accounted
f«»r by the criminal apathy which i M m
own ranks, ami permitted at lo.nl
our strength to repose nt home in fnnct.Ht securi
ty, rodlng on tbc fatally false presumption that
the State was sure without their votes ami that
tho county could not bo earned with thorn. In
several districts-—prominent among which is the
West Ward of Carlisle—we have lost the votes of
some so-called Republicans, who have recently
become quite fearful of the negro getting ahead
of them In social and political position and pow
er. Of these frightened individuals who on lost
Tuesday treacherously voted to sustain Andrew
Johnson's Infamous policy,a majority ore to-day
too cowardly to avow it,and seek tho cover of
falsehood to ward oil" the odium which attaches
to their shameless desertion of tlie colors."
According to the above, a large ma
jority of the voters in Cumberland coun
ty are “rebels.” When we consider
that nearly all the fighting-soldiers in
the lute rebellion voted with us, and
that the Democrats of Cumberland to a
man assisted iu some way to put down
the rebellion, who but a craven could
thus speak of them? It is time this
kind of language was abandoned.—
Henceforth, it is understood among
Democrats that the man who uses the
word “traitor” or “copperhead,” must
be held responsible for his language.—
Those who neither contributed an hour
ora dollar to their country in its hour
of need, will not be permitted to hurl
their insults and their slanders in th£
faces of men. That kind of impudence
must stop, instantly.
But the Heraldis particularly chagrin
! ed with its own friends In the West
1 ward of Carlisle, wha \o.ted the Dem
ocratic ticket. It thinks they were in
fluenced by the fears they entertained
that “ the negro would get ahead of them
iu social (tndjiolUicalposition and poic
i er!” It says too that they are now
“ frightened,” and that they are too
“ cowardly” to acknowledge their error,
and “seek the cover of falsehood to ward
off the odium which attaches to their
shameless desertion,” &c. When wo
remember that the men of the late Re
publican party in the West ward who
voted the Democratic ticket are among
the very best citizens in our town—men
of character and worth—the enormity
of the brutal assaults upon them by the*
Herald can be better appreciated. It is
a little too much for the young mqn
who scribble slanders for the Herald
to tell these citizens that they are fear
ful of the negro getting ahead of them
in social and political position; a little
too much for these men—some of whomf
have been voters in, our town for forty
years—to be branded a& cowards by the
fledgelings about the Herald. The Re
publicans who, voted, with us this year
are not afraid to avow their opinions
even before the Herald office. They
voted as they did, because they see and
know that the. Republican leaders are
determined to prevent a reconciliation
of ouf-late national difficulties. They
desire a whole Union, and are tired of
paying taxes to sustain a Ffeodmen’s
Bureau aud upstart military satraps.—
They are not afraid of the negro getting
ahead'of them “in social and political
position,” but they are opposed to ne
groes crowding their wives and daugh
ters in the cars and their children in the
schools; and they are equally opposed
to the negroes taking possession of eight
or ten States of this Union, and depriv
ing the white men who own them of a
voice in their managoinent. No threats
of pigmies can change the opinions of
the Republicans who voted with us on
the Bth inst., and the ravings of the
Herald will only add fuel to the flame.
Next year we expect to carry the West
ward by 100 majority*
Hhout-memorlED Darkies.— The
negroes when released from slavery
were not blessed with the convenience
of surnames. Hence, for registration
purposes, the Radical leaguers found it
necessary to furnish the “ colored citi
zens” with patronymics to which to at
tach the myriads of Sams, Pomps, Caes
ars, Ac. Printed lists of Northern Rad
ical surnames have ■ accordingly been
provided from every league, from which'
the darkies select to suit themselves.—
Oftentimes, however, the now citizen
forgets his name, and lie is then under
the necessity of asking ins friends what
his name is. If unsuccessful in discov
ering it, he has no other remedy but the
selection of a new one. At Richmond,
a few days ago, some three hundred dar
kies were turned away from the polls
because they had forgotten the names
they had selected from the league lists
and by which they had registered us vo
ters. It is said that the Radical leaders
have arranged a plan by which this dif
ficulty of short memories will be guard
ed against in tire future. A committee
of white men will be stationed at every
poll window to tell the negro voters
what their names are.
THE 1111‘EMIIER IMPEACHED,
Ben Wade, Senator from Ohio, has
been among the loudest in his denun
ciations of President Johnson. He
wanted the President impeached, so
that he (the blackguard Wade) might
take ids place in the White House.—
But the people of Ohio, by electing a
majority of Democrats to the Legisla
ture, have impeached the impeacher.—
A good, true, able and dignified Demo
crat will be elected to the seat now dis
graced by Wade.
The Ohio Democracy havb secured
ten majority on joint ballot in the Leg
islature. The Senate will stand, Dem
ocrats 19; Rads 18, House—Democrats
67; Rads 48. Tho last Legislature
stood: Senate—Democrats 12; Eads 25.

thus bo seep tli.iit the Democracy have
gained seven Senators aijd twenty-one
Representatives. This js n glorious re
sult. It secures, among other things,
tho election of a Democratic United
States Senator.

I'uiihjyivania has spoken! The will
of her people has been expressed through

stone JnaU*. Trieenemiesof the Union,
of the Constitution, and, worse than ail,
of their own race, have been igiunmm
ously beaten. Theirlcadors and organs
may attribute tills result to this, that
and the other (sure, but :we tell them
the ground-swell ol popular Indignation
has commenced* and will continue, un
til Radicalism is swept from power iu
every nook and cornerof the land. For
the crimes, misdemeanors and outrages
of the Radicals against the rights, liber
ties and privileges of the white men of
the whole country, and especially of the
States, for tlje past sis years,
they will be held to the strictest accoun-
lability. We believe in being magnan
imous in. the hour of victory; but mag
nanimity, with the many crimes com
mitted by the Radical! leaders iu the sa
cred name of liberty yet ringing in our
ears, would be the veriest cowardice.—
The Democratic party must hold the
Stantons, Holts, Sumners, Wades, Stev
enses and a host of others guilty before
high Heaven of the incarceration and
death of many good men in the Lincoln
Bastiles, for no other reason than that
they differed from them in political sen
timent ; the Democratic party must hold
tliOiSi men guilty of the mobbing of
Democratic editors and the tacking of
Democratic newspaper offices by their
ignorant and deluded follower'; the
Democratic party mutt hold thete men
guilty of per verting the object of the late
unhappy war, and turning it imo a cru
sade for the freedom of the negro, and
the destruction of the rights of the
States and the liberties of the white
man; the Democratic party must hold
tlieso mon guilty of creating the present
enormous debt, which it will take gen
erations to pay off; the Democratic par
ty must hold these men guilty of crea
ting a moneyed and bond-holding aris
tocracy, and having made the rich man
richer and the poor man poorer. In
short, nearly all the crimes with which
the country has been cursed for the post
six years can be laid at the doors of
these men. What their condemnation
shall be let an outraged, insulted, be
trayed people answer.
A WORD or ADVICE.
While the wild bells are ringing out
peals of triumph, and bonfires are set
ting the heavens aglow from Maine to
California, and the thunders of artillery
are shaking the hills, ami exultant
shouts of victory are leaping from Dem
ocratic hearts everywhere, it may Hot
be out of place to give our friends a few
words of earnest counsel. We have
won a glorious victory, it is true, but
we have only gained the first skirmish
in thp great battle for constitutional
liberty and free government which is
to be fought next year.. We have only
gained the fight for position, and while
we feel strong confidence in the final
triumph of our cause, we must not hug
the delusion of an easy victory over our
insolent foes. They tell us they are •
“defeated but not dismayed;” and
these recent defeats will nerve them to
desperate energy during the coming
campaign. It is undoubtedly true that
there is a great under-current of popu
lar feeling which is sweeping all before
its resistless tide, but the traitors who
have obtained control of the govern
ment arc maddened by the taste they
have hajl of wealth and power and
blood, and will struggle to the lost'to
defeat the popular will which they des
pise They will not yield an inch of
ground without U fierce and desperate
contest. The coming Presidential cam
paign will be the grandest- political,
struggle ever witnessed on the Ameri
can continent, and the triumphant Dem
ocracy must at once organize for victo
ry. The way to secure that victory is
to deserve it. We piusfc have .a thor
ough, quiet, efficient organization
1 among the masses, and the ground work
of this organization must he laid at
once.
There is no surer road to victory titan
by educating the people in the true
principles of our government, and ena
bling them to see the enormities of Rad
ical legislation. To do this reading
matter should be circulated everywhere.
Every man who can read and is willing
to read should he supplied with n good
Democratic paper during the whole of
the coming, year. Flooding the coun
try with electioneering documents for a
few weeks prior to an election, is a mis
erable shift and never amounts to much.
Men seldom change their minds in the
heat of a political contest. What is
wanted is that men shall have good
Democratic reading matter constantly
in their homes, in order that they may
read at their leisure and ponder the
questions at Issue before the people.—
Our opponents well know the secret, si
lent, far-reaching power of tho press,
and have profited by its influence.—
While wo regret to say, our party has
been, sadly remiss in this duty.—
Friends, \ve must arouse ourselves in
this matter, or we will lose ground.—
This is a reading and a thinking age.—
Men are more apt' to form their opin
ions from what they read than from
what they hear ; and if we do not place
Democratic documents in their hands,
we may rest assured they will be sup
plied with Republican reading matter.
Wo have no fear to meet the f .j any
where in the field of argument and of
fact. We are willing at all times to
place our principles beside their’s and
let the people judge between us.
Wo do.hope our friends iu Cumber--
land County will bo thoroughly arous
ed to Die great importance of tliis mat
ter, In so far as any of them may wish
to circulate tho Volunteer, wo will
throw oft' our entire profit by furnishing
an extra copy of our paper to every one
who sends us four new cash subscribers
for tho year 1808. In thesaino ratio we
will furuish two extra copies for eight
subscribers, four for sixteen, eight for
thirty-two, and sixteen for sixty-four.
Under tljja aiTjmgement our friends in
tho various townships w|l| bo enabled
to supply themselves with, ilrst-ulnss
reading matter at Just about tho actual
cost of its production. This offer will
remain open until tho first of January

poverty, and offer* tier wardrobe for
*:;ie i: 1 Vfl w York, lo keep her from
starvation; ■There is vr.-r
strange ia this—somethin);inexplicable..
It is wot! known that when Mr. Lin
coln died he was - wealthy, Duringhia
last run for the Presidency, his own
partisan jiapers published, as a matter
of boast, that for lus first four years ser
vices he had not drawn, one coat from
the Treasury, hut had permitted it to
remain there to his credit. Some ofhis
friends,- (so said the Republican papers,)
censured Mr. Lincoln for not lifting his
salary quarterly and investing it in
Government Bonds, like other “ loyal - ’
men. “ You are doing yourself injury
by not receiving interest on the $lOO,OOO
in the Treasury placed'to your credit,”
they said., But old Abe, (so the story
continued.) replied “no matter, the
Government needs the money more
than I do, and my salary can remain in
the Treasury until the end of my second'
term.” Very magnanimous that; but
yet some people of an inquisitive mind
could not help asking the question,
“ how does Mr. Lincoln provide for Ids
household; he was poor as a rat when
first elected, and his family expenses
must be some twelve or filteen thousand
| dollars per annum. Where does beget
i the money to meet these expenses - ’ He
! docs not draw his salary; what then
does lie live on ?” Those questions were
j never answered. Mrs. Lincoln’s aflect-
I ed poverty, therefore, is, as we said, in
explicable. Mr. Lincoln’s administra
tor, for die purpose of convincing the
people that Mr. L. had been an honest
public servant, published to the world
that after settlingnp theestate, lie found
it worth only SSO,OUO. So then, accord
ing to the statement of his administra
tor, Mr. Lincoln, at the timoofhia death
was Worth $BO,OOO. Then Congress (un
lawfully) voted Mrs. Lincoln $25,000
from the people’s treasury. - That made
the estate worth $105,000. Then the
WMto House was stripped of property
estimated lit $50,000. That amount ad
ded to the $105,000, mode the estate
worth $155,000. Then “.Bob;”'; the
President’s eldest son, it was admitted
by all, had made some $lOO,OOO or more
in the same way that his mother made
her “ presents.” And even little
“ Tad,” a more child, was the recipient
of many very costly presents. The fact
is, the Lincoln’s had a “gay Old time of
it” in the White House. ButuowMrs,.
Lincoln says she is starving, and is com
pelled to offer at public auction the cost-’
ly presents her friends gave her Ju con
sideration of her influence in procuring
them offices and contracts. What has
she done with the handsome fortune
left her - ? What has become of it ? She
gives no explanation. , -
The fact that Sirs. Lincoln received
these costly presents in consideration of
her influence with her husband, has a
had look, aud'strengthens the suspicions
Bo.generally entertained, that the Lin
coln's, like tens of thousands of other
“ loyal’V people, were making them
selves rich at the expense of the peo
ple’s treasury. No other President, no
other President’s wife over received or
were oifered presents. To have offered
them presents during their occupancy
of the White House, would
considered an aggravated insult. Why
then should the Lincolns be an excep
tion to a rule that decency demanded
should be observed? The Whole affair
has a suspicious appearance— : au appear,
anco that smells of corruption.-..! ■
Weed, having beeu upbrditlifd’by ftlrs.
Lincoln, and accused of “ingratitude,”
retorts by “telling a little story.” He
exposes how the President and his wife
gave a private dinner to the Princd'Na
polcan, and then charged tho Govern
ment nine hundred\dotlars for the same.
The Secretary of the Interior rofiisod to
pay the bill,, on the ground: that'the
Government had nothing to ■ do,.'with
Mr. Lincoln’sdinnorbills. Theamount
was subsequently paid, however, by bc
ingsinuggled into the gardener'i account!
The President,;htr, Lincoln,’was a.par
ty to this transaction; ho submitted tiio
gardener’s account to the proper' officer
for payment; ho had to endorse it, and
certify to its correctness before the gard
ener could get his money, It is therefore
certain that he connived with his wife
in smuggling through a bill which one
othis ownCqbinetoflicers hadpronounc
ed fraudulent.
But, enough for the president. Let
our readers peruse Mrs. Lincoln’s let
ters and Mr. Weed’s reply to her assault
upon him , and wo think they will agree ;
with us that the, Lincoln administration
was venal, corrupt and low, and ,that
millions of dollars were-filched from the
treasury and charged to the gardener’s ac
count. '

LKHTHUS FROM MBS. BIXCOWf.
Appended are several letters written by
Mis. Lincoln in relation to this most un
pleasant business, thecontents of which

Uerpf their date, appears, to be the follow

MBS. LINCOLN’S OPINION OV UEPUULICANS.
A eiguiffeaut feature of the subsequent
letters and memoranda is Ihe feeling en
tertained by Mrs.. Lincoln towards lead
ing Republicans. She complains bitterly
that men who besought her influence to
secure, their official positions, and were
profuse if she would grdtify their wishes,
now give her the cold shoulder. Certain
peisons of that party, such as Thin-low
Weed, Henry J. Raymond, Wni. H. Sew
ard, and others, she is particularly severe
against, and claims that it was through
their influence that tile plan proposed by
the Tribune to raise a fund for her by the
voluntary subscription of the people was
thwarted. At tins point the following
memorandum, the original being in Mrs,
Lincoln’s own hand-writing, is given :
The question was. asked Mrs,. Lincoln
what her feelings were, in regard to the
Republican party, in consideration of the
uukiuduess and ingratitude displayed by
them in depriving her of almost ail means
of support. The reply was, “1 could not
relinquish my attachment for the party
to which my husband belonged, aud in
whose cause his precious life was sacrific
ed, notwithstanding it is composed of
such men as Weed, Raymond, and Sow
;ard, who nominally belong, to rt, and who
to acqgmpliah their purposes would drag
it down to the lowest depths' of degrada
tion. ' .The late Presidoufthroughly test
ed these men,and had become fullynwaro
before his death of their treachery aud
falseness.” ,

[From tljo of Saturany.j
The publication in World
of Mrs, Lincoln’s correspondence with
her agent, in this city in regard to the
sale of her wavdr.obe, has created a great
.flutter in, .circles fashionable'as weir as
.political,, yesterday'the rooms of Mr.
Bracjy, GOO Broadway, were filled’ nearly'
all day by ladies and,gentlemen, who
came to,look at goods displayed for sale
under such unfortunate circumstances. —
The . people could hardly reconcile the
unimpeachable accuracy, of. the , World
with suc)i a state of facts, and hundreds
came on simple missions of inquiry to go
away satisfied that there t .was more .truth
than poetry in the statement. During
the day three United States' Senators,
...whoso names by request wo withhold,
called to see Air. Brady, and.on just such
a. mission. A large' number of letters
: from all parts of the coqntry to Mr. Bra

WHAT. THURLOW .WEED HAS TO SAY—
FURTHER REVELATIONS—MR.LIN
: . - OOLN’s SHIRTS.
[lh-om the Commercial A'dCertieer,'October ■!.]
We ,have- never approached a question
with half the'sbrrow that this one awa
kens.' To vindicate, shield; and protect
’Heaven’s .best gift to man” is a,grate
ful duty; while to oven reprove, and
much more to assail a woman, is painful
and If without a perfect justification, un
manly. ' 1 1 ; •
If the American Congress of the Amer
ican people have failed to iheet the pecu
niary expectations of Mr. Linooln's'wid
o\y, it,ls- because that ’p'erWuSage"failed,
dufing.his life and since his death,- to in
spire either with respect or confidence.—
1 hey should not, therefore, be subjected
to tho reproach: or rest under the impu
tatlon of Ingratitude,Had Mrs. Lincoln,
while jn power, borne herself becoming-'
ly, the aaf-geatiou of a Lluboln Fund, bv
voluntary contributions, would have been
promptly , respondod to, The national
heart was warm. Jt gushed out in liber
al endowments for Grant and Farracut
It.would as cheerfully have mot the an
peai In favor of Mrs; Lincoln if it hid
not intuitively closed and chilled.
In . her conversation Mrs. Lincoln is
, represented as' bitterly denouncing Sec
retary, Seward. for which, of couree, there
is up warrant or excuse, for he wrouirs no
mail, and much’ less is he capable of ini
justice, wrong, , or even unklndhess to
>yomap. w
tp
,}eb Bf Smith,-then Secretary of the Inte
rior, being-our Informant—a fact which
mcenseu Mrs. Linpoln against Mr. Sew
ard. ; aho President gave Prince Nano
ieon ad nuer, for which Mrs.. Lincoln
sent to the, oecielary of the Interior for
paymeut.of a bill of some $9OO. This de
tliobj-h wholly 'lllegal, coming
.frpm the Ptßsideut’s wlfji.'
the Sepretafy,,who called hpou the Bee
maty ofStflte for advice, where he learn-
i . ,
ed that Mr. Seward had also dined the
Prince, having the same mimbc: »;.*
guests, and giving them a duplicate of the’
dinner at the WmteHouso. In fact, Mr,,
Seward ordered both dinners from the
same restaurant, and by his own bill
knew the cost of each. For what Mr.
Seward paid $3OO, Mrs. Lincoln demand
ed $9OO. Hut whether three or nine hun
dred, the claim was alike illegal, and
could not be paid. For this, however,
Mrs. Lincoln quarrelled with Secretaries
Smith nnd Seward. Thin amount, how
ever, was subsequently covered up in a
gardener’s account, but occasioned scan
dal: which respect for Mr. Lincoln meas
urably suppressed.
Though Mr. Lincoln left an estate
which enabled his family to live quite as
comfortably as they had over lived, Con
gress and the people would have prompt
ly and cheerfully provided munificently
for them if Mrs, Lincoln herself with ev
ery advantage that high position gave
her, had made friends or Inspired respect.
And this last exhibition proves bow In
stinctively right the popular estimate of
her character was.
The fact for which Mrs. Lincoln seeks
large publicity, namnly, that she received
present's valued at $24,000; is a pregnant
and suggestive one—suggestive, at least,
of offices and contracts, unless the more
charitable construction ia reached th rough
the assumption that they were expres
sions of and friendship. But it is
not known that the wife of any presi
dent, however estimable, was so loaded
with shawls, laces, furs, diamonds,
rings, &c.
Mrs. Lincoln’s propensity to sell things
was manifested early, and before any ne
cessity was foreseen. If our information
is reliable, eleven of Mr. Lincoln's new
linen shirts were sold almost before the re
mains, which were shrouded in the twelfth ,
had started for that “ bourne from whence
no traveller returns
Individually, we are obliged to Mrs.
Lincoln for an expression of her ill-will.
It is pleasant to remember that we were
always out of favor in that quarter. And
it is equally pleasant to remember thatf
we possessed the friendship and confi
dence of Mr. Lincoln to the last hour of
Ins life, without paying court, as others
did lo Mrs Lincoln, and in spite of her
constant efforts to disturb our relations.
This mortifying revelation will go
abroad, and as is natural, the press of Eu
rope will make the most of it, in depre
cating the ingratitude of ourgovernrnent
and the want of liberality in the Ameri
can people. This consideration alone
constrains us to discharge the unpleasant
duty of showing that neither the govern
ment nor the people are justly obnoxious
to, these accusations. T. WEED.

that it shall not be taxed, and stigmat-.

Although the* weather yesterday, was
very unfavorable for. what Is technically
known in dry goods circles as the.“ fancy
trade,” yet quite a number of people visi
ted Mr. Brady’s show room, on Broad
way, whore Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe is
exhibited for sale. Few purchases, how
ever, wore made, the majority of visitors
having come rather to gratily a trouble
sonic curiosity than to buy, and a great
many of the gems and Jewels, and all that
womankind attire, yet remain to horrify’
and humiliate the many wealthy ladies
who rejoice in being members of that
class euphoniously dubbed Radical Shod*
ilyites, who-had basked in the rays of
Mi. hincoln’s meridian career,.and now i
leave Ills widow- at its sudden close in'
lonely, friendless- popury. One lady;
drove up in a magnificent carriage, with
richly eapurisoued horses, and coachman'
in livery, and asked to see Mr. Brady.—
On being pointed out that gentleman,
she rushed up to him impetuously,ana
said in haughty tones: “Sir, I am, a
friend of Mrs. Lincoln, ami desire to see
her immediately.’, 1 ' .
“ lam sorry, madam, I am unable to
gratify your wishes, us Mrs; -Lincoln is
not to be seen immediately.”
“ But, sir, X am her friend, and I desire
you to give me a pass to see her; the sale
of these goods, sir; is an indelible disgrace
to the country.” . •
*‘l agree with you, madam; the only
pass 1 can give is'to buy you a ticket to
Chicago, where Mrsi'ljin'coln ls nt pres
ent ; but you must excuse me if I decline
to do so, and, as you ore a friend of Mrs.
Lincoln, you cannot show, your friend
ship in u more substantial way than by
making a purchase.” , •
Tins suggestion was not acted upon
from the fact that this lady merely wish
ed to see Mrs. Lincoln for the purpose of
giving her some ‘t-'good advice.” This
saintly movement for getting out of a
tight place Mf. Brady thought was quite
in keeping with the other actors of the
party of moral ideas who earn a cheap
philanthropy by leaving religious tracts
with starving families, and; instead of
the bread that mighfcqauao ipi outlay,of a
few dollars givp a.canting dissertation on
brotherly love that costs about fifty cents
per thousand. Of course this'faahloqable
lady, so full.of lip benevolence, and who
was so desirous of seeing and giving her
dear friend Mrs. Lincoln some “good ad
vice.” declined making purchases, but
was loud In expressing “how shocked
she was that such an exppsiiro should be
madc,’4»to all of which Mr Brady-assent
ed, but very careful to conclude bis re
marks with the refrain—“Yes,-and as
you any you are a friend of Mrs. Lincoln,
you can prove your friendship by mak
ing 'purchases.” But, miraOUc diotu,
this benevoleat dame did not heed the
drift of these remarks, and kept regret
ting in a sort of serio-comic strain qf meu
tal agony, “Oh, ,I’m so distressed to
think that Mrs. Lincoln should do this:
why the whole of Europe be talking
about it, and ! have sopie relatives . mov
ing in the highest circles of London and
Pans, and I,know how mortified they
will feel.” ;

Yea, madam, replied Mr. Brady,'and
if I were r uofactuated by more than pe
cuniary motives, I could have sold' the
whole of this wardrobe for $13,000 to a
showman who desires to exhibit them
in ISuropo; In, fact, I have two offers of
this kind, but Mrs. Lincoln is not desir
ous of giving this matter any more pub
licity, on account of her sou, who is very
sensitive on the subject, and wishes to
get the affair over as soon as possible;”
This was too much of piling a. moun
tain for the refined feelings, of this be
nevolent lady, and she marched off in
dignantly in a rally of anathemas against
the enmo of being poor, to. give place 1 to
another female who was equally .trbuble
aomo and objectionable, and who gave
plenty of jdty, but no purse.” Shortly af
ter this episode a gentleman entered and
thus addressed the proprietor. “Mr.
Brady, I thought you ■ said Surveyor
\\ axeman was coming up to see the goods
ami make some purchases; has he been
hcre 4 Pshaw! he’s nothing but a .Radi
cal politician. He told Mrs. Lincoln’s
agent that ho would come up and. make
a purchase the first day he called upon
him. 4 Oh, yes” ho said, ‘ certainly, cer
tainly.’ I shall come by all moans; I
should never think of permitting Mrs.
Lincoln to bo refused such a small favor •
I will be sure to come up this afternoon ”
But he didn’t come. ■ The agent saw him
the next day. “ Ob, how ;are you ? ho
vsaid; 14 1 am sorry I .couldn’t get up yes
terday ; you may expect me this after
noon,” . Buthedldn’tcome.* Afewdays
after the agent met him again. He was
equally affable and equally profuse of
promises, and declared that lie would be
up that very afternoon.” But ho didn’t
come. Then followed'the publication of
Mrs, Lincoln’s letter la the World. -
“Well, didn’thecolnompthou.” “No'
ho has gone to.Chlcago ” (Thisiwas said
insinuatingly, as if to infer that,the : let
ter and Mr. Wakemaq’s trip, to Chicago
had sopio mysterious connection.). Then
followed a confab /ropy the disjointed
words heard here, and then it was ovi
dent that Mr. Wakuman is not desirous
of having any n,bro iettorspubllshed, and
would.seem to bo desirous of creeping out
of the “ unpleasant nfflilr” : by having an
Interview with Mrs; Lincoln. •’Several
artists'from illustrated papers called yes
terday and made sketches, and Mrs
Lincoln’s wardrobe and its story will
inevitably be rendered as pubiio as the
pen and press can make il.—Nciu York

The trial is set down for the fourth

who were compelled.'to appear before
the Norfolk Grand Jury and testify to
the facts upon which the indictment was
made. There will be very few, if any
witnesses for the defense—the tact of lev

iron will then-proceed with the .legal ar
gument,' that the prisoner ,1s guilty of
treason j and the counsel for defense will
argue that, he being a citizen of the State
and under rts laws a prior allegiance was
due to it, not to tho Uuited States. it
has been positively assorted that Judge
