It is a perfectly, plain case tliat Congress should immediately confer such a pension upon tlie'widow of Abraham Lincoln as will enable her to live in ordinary comfort, while it makes •oine faint recognition of the great debt which the country owes to the man whose honored name she bears. It is little toJthe credit of the American people that they have allowed five years to pass away without making the smallest practical acknowledgement of the fact that Abraham Lincoln, who led them through the wilderness of tha Rebellion, died a violent death, upon the thiesbhold of his country’s restoration to unity and peace, because he had been her leader during all lliose dark and bloody days. One ' Corgi ess after another bas talked about the propriety of providing a permanent support for the widow of the murdered President, and has -disba»rded-dding*nothingrwhile--every-year-of sucli hesitation adds to the national disgrace. Two bills are now pending in the Senate, providing a pension for the widow of Mr. Lin., coin. Mr. Sumner’s bill appropriates five thou sand dollars, and Mr. Wilson’s two thousand dollars per annum, as the amount of the pen sion. These bills are lying in committee, and it seems very uncertain how or when they will be reported on.' Meanwhile it is only right that the public sbtiuld know wliat the full ex tent oft lie wrong is. which Congress is indict ing by its causeless delay. The failure of Congress to vote a liberal pen sion to Mrs. Lincoln is a great wroug to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. It needs no words, at this da»to remind anyone that, not to this country alone, but to the whole civilized woild, AVi]ah;.in Lincoln stands as the areal, embodiment of the. American idea of absolute human freedom. None, need to be told the story of bis great service to his' country in her direst necessity ; of the patient, enduring, per severing faith with which he toiled forward, until the light of victory and peace broke out from the dark clouds of ‘the Rebellion only to gild bis bloody grave. America cannot aiford to pay her debt to Abraham Lincoln in mere empty words. The failure of Congress 'to*'- vote* a liber | pension to Mrs. Lincoln is justly bringing__us_ into discredit abroad, and so is a great wrong to "burselves.- Mrs. Lincoln is residing in Germany, under circumstances which are beginning to attract the notice of a people who feel an almost patriotic ipterest in the honor and welfare of the United States. -TF is true that Ike duty of Congress in the premises is based upon national and not individual con- aiderations. Whether Mrs. Lincoln may be popular or unpopular; whether she may he in affluence or poverty; whether she may he a woman of the highest wisdom or of the greatest indiscretion; these are not the questions which should govern the action of Congress in its duty toward her hon ored husband. But it is a fact that the people of America ought to' know, that the widow of Abraham Lincoln is lying sick and almost un attended, in a fourth-floor room of a second class hotel at Frankfort-on-the-Main, so strait ened in circumstances as to be unable to seek a .climate more favorable to her disease, whither her physician has recommended her to go. It is not a pleasant duty to make such a fact pub lic, but it is only right that the people should know what the practical and immediate conse quences of Congressional neglect to the family of President Lincoln are. Congress should dispose of thisvmatter at once, and in a liberal manner. If Mr. Sum ner’s iigure be taken for the pension, it will not be an overpowering amount for a nation like this to grant. The people are not ungrateful to the memory of President Lincoln,nor are they Unmindful of their national pride. They will approve, of the action of Congress in testifying both their gratitude and their pride, by appro priating such a pension as will bo worthy of the lofty position which Abraham Lincoln oc cupied, while it supplies the actual necessities of his widow., sick and suifering in a foreign land, liven the New York World, which has heaped abuse and calumny upon. the name oi' Abraham Lincoln for years past', joins the ap peal for this act of common justice and decency, and says: “ This is not a personal or a partisan mattor. It is a matter winch concerns the honor of the nation. 'Whether Mrs. Lincoln’s destitution is due to her own improvidence or not, it is the duty of Congress, not for her sake at all, hut for its own, to make such a provision for he ns shall secure her from, warn for the rest of her lifetime. If Mrs. Lincoln had. been the wife of a private soldier killed inaction she would have been pensioned off. That she is the widow of the Commander-in-ehiei of the Army and Navy Of the United States is no reason for a change in the principle, but only a reason lor au increase of its application.” A Toronto paper contains a despatch which relates that the United Ktates'goveuiment has conveyed tex tile Dominion government infor- .mation of the Fenian raid, and lias intimated that it cannot obtain sufficient force to check the Fenians-without- calling out the- border militia, which it is afraid to .do,—because—.the volunteers' are all Irish sympathizers. The ’ mental condition intq wliiqb men qnust come , . before they can believe such ridiculous stuff, is pitiable. We do not believe that our govern ment has taken any official notice whatever oi' the rumors or a Fenian raid, for the reason that President Grant and his ministers know very, well, as all Americans do, 'That this Fenian excitement was created, by a few scoundrels, without any ..intention to attack Canada, hut ' merely for. the purpose of robbing the ignorant Irish people of this country. If there was any real danger of a raid, we certainly should noi'plead inability to stop it; siifck a confession of weakness on the part of. a great government would expose Hi to the ridicule and,contempt even of so poor and timid ;a'nation'as'Canada. A few regular troops would he sent to the‘border, and the business of the Fenians Would be settUil before t/Tey bad a chance to lire a shot in Canada, if ,-jfrg Canadians would take counsel of their .■i-iiscn Instead of their fears, they would per-' : Hdvd the absuhlity of such stories as that which: \\ e lmve quoted. But just now they are panic-; Mi icken, and they will swallow anything, liow-1 ever monstrous, that happens to agree with popular sentiment. It is to be hoped that tiro Board of Health has received the report of its Sanitary Com mittee, and that the proper orders have been given "fora ■vigorous campaign”-hi the Bedford street District.

Ermine Bullotin J Reconstruction Btulom I Washington, April 1 23—1 n conversation this morning, President Grant said that the prospect was good that the reconstruction of Georgia would be completed soon bv the full [ admission oTtlie State. He is opposed to the 3® passed by the Senate, and is very solici tous that the whole reconstruction business be endedjimmediateiy.

The President said that he was not opposed to the lncome tax, as stated, but wishes the taxi'd ad e 3 per cent., instead of 5, with two thousand dollars exemption, and the re moval of some odious features, and then con tinued for three years. He thinks at the end of three years the condition of the Treasury will be such as to justify the repeal of the tax entirely. , The Rumor or a War with Nimln—lt Is Renivrl by President Urmit—hale of Cubu by the hpuuiurd^. Alluding to the rumors current about the probability of a war with Spain, the Presi delll s:lid the Umrattitude'of the Administra tion. arid the energetic action of the State De partment, had brought Spain to her senses, and there need be no apprehension of trouble :UOW. ;. W The latest- news received from Spain is that General Prim is preparing the public mind of Spain to sell Cuba to the Cubans. The diffi culty now seems to bo who in Cuba can buy the. Island. The volunteers are the most powerful party, as the Republican insurgents have no longer.an organization, and if the latter bought Cuba of Spain they would have toconquer it from the volunteers - -- opposed to the acquisition of Cuba by the United States, but the President says that he was willing that Cuba, San Domingo and the rest of the West India Islands shnnlri form an independent confederation, receiving moral support from the United States. : _ [Ur the American Frees Aeeoclation.] Barat Orders.
