Character of Abraham Lincoln—Opinion
of Ills Law Partner.
Hon. W. H. Herndon, twenty years the
law partner of the late President Lincoln,
has been delivering a series of lectures in
Springfield, Dl., on Mr. Lincoln's character.
He said Mr. Lincoln was a sad-looking man,
and that his apparent gloom was one rof the
means of his great success,' creating sym
pathy for him. He did not think Mr. lAn
coin knew what real joy was for many years.
His perceptions were slow, cold, wecise and
exact. No illusion ever passed undetected
by him. He was not impulsive or fanciful,
but saw all things through a perfect mental
lens. The suggestiveness of his mind was
one of its strongest peculiarities. He read
less and thought more than any man of his
elan in America. He possessed originality
and power of thought in an eminent degree.
He was eminently analytic. Before he could
form an idea of anything, he must know
it in origin and history, in substance and
quality, in magnitude and gravity. He was
thoroughly self-reliant. The great pre
dominating elements of Mr. Lincoln's pecu
liar character were: First, his great capa
city and power of reason; secondly, his
excellent understanding: thirdly, an exalted
idea of the sense of right and equity;
and fourthly, his intense veneration of
what was time and-good. His reason ruled
despotically all other faculties and qualities
of his mind. His conscience and heart
were ruled by it. His conscience was ruled
by one faculty—reason. His heart was
ruled by two faculties—reason and con
science. It is generally believed that Mr.
Lincoln's heart—his love and kindness, his
tenderness and benevolence—were his ruling
qualities, but ad , : opinion is erroneous in
every particular. First, as to his reason.
He dwelt in the mind, not in the conscience,
and not in the heart. He lived, and
breathed and acted from his reason—the
throne of logic and the home of principle,
the realm of Deity in man. It is from this
point that Mr. Lincoln must be viewed.
The views were correct and original. He
was cautious not to be deceived; he was
patient and enduring. He had concentra
tion and great continuity of thought; he had
a profound analytic power, his visions
were clear, and , he was emphatically the
master of statement. We boast not his
equal here. His pursuit of the truth was
indefatigable, terrible. He reasoned from
his well chosen principles with such clear
ness, force and compactness, that the tallest
intellects in the land bowed to him with
respect.
North Carolina Ilatters.
A despatch from Wilmington, N. C., on
the 26th, says:
The negfbes made no organizedgemonstra ,
tion in this vicinity on Christmas day. A
few isolated cases of collision between the
- whites and blacks occurred on Christmas
morning, but the negroes creating the dis
turbance were arrested by the police. A
crowd of negroes rallied and recruited seve
ral companies, when the regular garrison
came to the assistance of the police, and ar
rested about 100 blacks.
Major Wickersham, of the Freedmen's Bu
reau, has ordered the Chairman of the
County Court to revoke the sentence against
McCoy and Walker, the negroes ordered to
be sold into slavery for larceny, and says
that in default all the members of the Court
will be put under arrest.
In the case of Walker and McCoy, eolored,
sentenced by the County Court to be sold
into servitude for five years for larceny,
Maj.-Gen. Crook, commanding the district,
annulled the sentence, on the ground that no
laws can be enforced which make a distinc
tion between black and white. The statute
provides merely for selling free negroes into
servitude, and therefore may not be en
forced.
• The Sheriffs have been instructed by the
President not to enforce the collection of the
tax levied, by the Constitutional Convention.
The action has been procured by the mer
chants interested.
The alarm about the negroes is subsiding
In this vicinity. Nothing is known of any
suspicious movements.
Meeting . of Generals Sherman and Joe
.lohnston
A Memphis paper, December 20, states:
General Joseph - E. Johnston, the beloved
commander of the late Confederate "Army
of Tennessee," arrived in our city yesterday
morning, stopping at the Geyoso. His visit
- was one purely of business, limited to a few
busy hours—leaving, as he did, on the five
o'clock packet. He was rapturously wel
comed by the few of his old comrades who
knew of his being in town, and who had the
good fortune to exchange hurried greetings
with him.
It is something of a coincidence that he
and General Sherman should have met
here, the one in the discharge of his or-1i
nary military duties, and the other in the
pursuits of private business. Their meet
ing was characterized by the kindliness
which ever inspires the true soldier when
hostilities have ceased. Their previous
meeting in North Carolina was pregnant
with momentous results. Then they met
as enemies. Now they are friends and
fellow-countrymen, cherishing for each
other respect and kindness. Cannot the
country emulate the example of these two
greatest of living commanders?
THE CHURCH MiLrrA:wr.—The trouble at
Galesburg, 111., between the people of Grace
(Episcopal) Church of that city and Bishop
Whitehouse, has assumed a new phase. It
. will be recollected that the Bishop silenced
Dr. Cracraft, the rector, because he
preached a loyal sermon, the prelate avail
ing himself of some ecclesiastical technica
lities to effect his object. A short time ago
the Bishop appointed the Rev. Mr. Chase,
of Subilee College, rector, and the vestry
executed a deed of trust of the
ehnrch to Judge Lawrence and
William Philips, Esq. An attempt was
made, but too late, to enjoin the master in
chancery from executing the deed. The
Whitehouse faction, on failing in this, per
suaded the senior warden, who issued a
handbill, in which he claimed to,be the cus
todian of the church, and proclaimed it
locked up, to be opened only to clergyrnen
in good and regular standing, who would
comply with the canons of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, both general and' dioce
san. This was aimed at Dr. Cracraft, who,
notwithstanding the Bishop's order, has
been temporarily occupying the pulpit. As
soon as the foregoing bill was issued, the
majority of the vestry removed the lock of
the door, and gave notice that Mr. Chase
would not be allowed to officiate, threatece
ingto eject him should he persist in doing
so. He concluded not to make the attempt,
and on Sunday week the usual services took
place as the majority of the vestry and
church wished to have them.—Cincinnati
Gazette.
Exams. No. '.239, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, exploded while stand
ing on a siding near Torrence Station, on
Sunday morning. The engine was attached
to the Local Freight train, in charge of
John Good, conductor, and Wm. Gettyman,
engineer. The engine was badly wrecked,
the whole side being torn out of the boiler.
Mr. Kammerer, the fireman, was badly
padded, and inhaled considerable steam.
He is not expected to recover. He resides
in Johnstown. A brakesman named Park,•
was blown about fifty feet, and received in
juries of a serious character. The engineer,
Wm. Gettyman, had a leg broken in three
hlaces. The conductor, Mr. Good, was
urt badly, but not dangerously.
THE Spanish Admiral, it is declared, who
is commanding the squadron off Valparaiso,
has insulted our Minister, Thomas Ja. Nel
son. The American and English merchants
and residents are indignant at his conduct,
and haVe laid the matter before their respec
tive Ciovenuments,
THE EXECUTIVE MANsioN.—Arrange
ments• are now, being , made for the New
Year's reception of the President. A new`,,
covering for the Carpet in the East Room
has been procured, and the master mechanic .
was at the Executive Mansion yesterday
morning for the purpose of commencing the
erection of a platform from the north
windows of the East Robin to the pavement,,
so as to enable the visitors to pass through
the apartments 'without blocking up the
passage. The new curtains for the private
apartments of the President's family have
arrived, and it is expected that the curtains
for the East Room will be received in time
for the reception.,The health of the Presi
dent and family continues good.
THE CATTLE PLAGUE.—The U. S. Consul
writing to the'State Department from Man
chester, under date of Dec. 9th, 1865, says:
"Since the date of my last despatch on the
subject of the cattle plague, the deaths have
rapidly increased. The whole number of
cases reported to the, authorities up to the
close•of last week is 39,000; of these 19,950
died, and 10,700 were killed while suffering
with the disease. The number of cases re
ported last was nearly 4,000. The exact
figures are, for the week ending Nov. 18,
2,669; for the week ending Nov. 25, 3,610; for
the week ending Dec. 2, 3,828.
A BAYK ROBBED.—A daring robbery
took place at the First National Bank of
'Washington city on Friday afternoon, the
sum stolen amounting to $15,000. The
robbery took place in open daylight, while
a Untied States Paymaster was receiving
the amount mentioned. Ths money had
been counted and placed before the Pay
master, who happened to turn his head for
a moment, and on again looking around
discovered that the money had disap
peared. No clue has as yet been obtained
to the robbery.
TEN Engineer Department has been
directed by the Secretary of War to com
mence at once the cleansing and repairing
of Fort Delaware, either by contract or
otherwise, as may be most economical and
consistentent with proper despatch. The
cost will be defrayed from the rebel prison
fund.
