The following hints to persons doing bu-iness at tlie Post Office, are taken from an exchange, and the advice given is as ap propiia'e here as in the market for which it was produceed: Always deposit a letter in a letter box, and never take it to the delivery unless you de?ire to ask some questiens relating to weight directions, etc. Even some bu siness men hand their letters in at the de livery, as if that act would secure their earlitr transmission. Every letter placed in the letter box is sent up to the very moment of locking the mail bags. Never write "in haste" on your letters, The Postmaster is in duty bound to trans mit ad mail matter as speedily as possi ble. When you ask for a letter give the full name distinctly, and don't apply for a let ter for any of the "Thompsons," or "Brown,s' or "Smiths." When it is possibie, get your mail mat ter into the office about half an hour be fore the mail is to be closed. W hen yon stamp a letter always place the stamp on the right hand corner of the envelope as iu the case with all govern ment stamped envelopes. Never drop money into the letter box with letters, lor all letters without stamps are sent to the Dead Letter Office ; and the money intended to buy the stamps for your letters may be applied to some other letter which may Lave been dropped iu without stamps or money, It is best al ways to keep a few stamps on hand , Stamp your letters yourself. Do not leave a letter and three cent piece at ilia delivery and then tun off leaving the rest to the Postmaster. He is not obliged to receive letters in that way. Don't ask for a letter for Lucy Smith, ami w hen the I'o>tmaster runs over S's ask if there is anything for Wo. Sampson. When you are disappointed in not get ling a letter, don't swear at the Postmas ter, for tliat will not benefit you nor him Don't stand at the letter window, and chat with the clerk about matters not con nected with the business of the department and keep others who are in a hurry wait ing Do your business ami leave,' Depose the President—what then ? The New York World starts the ques tion—if the Radicals go ahead and carry out tht ir threat to impeach the President —what course will the Democrats follow ? The eJitor says: "From our knowledge of the temper of the Democratic party, we have no hesita tion in saying that it will face the emer gency with as much vigor and trepidity as indignant human nature is very well ca pable of. It is our clear and decided judgment that influential Democrats ought not to go into the Cabinet or accept any office under the Pies!dent, and thus ex pose the party, in the great struggle which may come, to the imputation of sordid motives. We can easily convict the im peacliers of such motives, but the charge would lose its effect if, with any color of truth, it could he retorteJ. If it were merely a fight between Con gress and the President, wc should have no interest except, as bystanders, to see fair play. But it is of far higher conse quence. It is an attempt by one branch of the government, to destroy the independ ence, and subvert the constitutional rights of the other. To put out a President for the base motive of getting contiol of the federal patronage for electioneering pur poses, would be a decree of political degen eracy not a whit better than the pronunci amentos and anarchy which have so long afflicted Mexico. If President Johnson is impeached and deposed for no crime hut fidelity to the Consiitution, and the peo ple submit to it, the country will have reached the lowest stage of political deg radation. If, unhappily, it should come to a con flict of force, it will be for us to decide, on high public grounds, free from any ident ification with tlie personal fortunes of Mr, Johnson, where duty might call us in so serious a juncture. The controversy will pass through many phases before it reach es the stage at which that question can arise ; and Democrats, while shrinking from no responsibility which public duty may require of them, hope to defeat the impeachment project by other methods than a resort to force. Whenever it be comes necessary, they will cause it to be fully understood tba' they will stand res olutelv, not by the President, who is noth ing .o tlipm, but by the Constitution threat ened to be outraged in his person. They will make no sacrifices for the man, hut they wilt shrink from no sacrifice which may became necessary to vindicate the rights of tie office. THE SUMNER SCANDAL. The Cause of the Separation of Sumner i and his Wife. i A public man sometimes becomes so public tiiat his private affairs command a publicity which it would bi an affectation of the press not to notice. Ilence I send you the following; Not two years ago the long known bachelor, Charles Suinner, became a Benedick, A highly educated, and in many respects an accomplished I man, of good manners, and better appear ! ance, naturally enongb, he stood high among the ladies of Boston, and he had no I difficulty in winning the hand of a widow I (from one of the F. F. of Boston,) who sacrificed no inconsiderable jointure in marrying him. The honeymoon had all ' the apparant charm that honeymoons usu ally have, when Mrs. Sumner went with her husband to Washington, and new scenes ensued. Among the accomplished men composing the Diplomatic Corps in W ashingtun w as Baron llolstein, of Prussia whom the Prussian King had attached to the Prussian Legation there, "to spy out tae land." Naturally enough he courted the the acquaintance of Charles Sumner, the Chairman of the Committee on For eign Affairs in the Senate, who at a din ner party, introduced ids wife to the Ba ton, and who was placed beside ber at dinner. An acquaintance ensued, and a iiiendship followed, such as naturally and honorably spring up between the 6cxes with kindred tastes and aspirations. The ' Baron attended to the lady in matinees and soirees, and in other public places, and occasionally escorted tier from the Senate, where both had been to hear the Senator speak. Mr. Sumner, becoming displeased with this acquaintanceship—it cannot be properly called intimacy—wrote ; a letter to Baron Holstein, in which, | wh'lc complaining of it, report says be in sinuated something not honorable to the wife. The Baron wrote back a letter, in which, in substance, be said there was no cause of offence whatever—he had been polite to madaine, as he was to other la dies of similar accomplishments, and noth ing had ever happened which propriety or good taste forbade. But if the Senator was not satisfied with that, he was ready to give him any such satisfaction as a mail of uonor demanded. This correspondence was the beginning and er.d ol first part; but Mr. Sumuer, re port says, then became cool to his wife, and the lady aud the Baron became more reserved in their intercourse. Then Mr. I Sumner, as Chairman of our Committee of Foreign Affairs, wrote to the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, the distin guished Bismarck, that if he, (Bismarck) : would recall the Baron he (Sumner) wo'd be obliged The adroit Bismarck yielded j to the potential position of the American i chairman of Foreign Affairs, and the Ba ron was recalled to Berlin. Mrs. Sumuer next became acquainted with this correspondence, and, naturally enough, was indignant beyond all power of description. Iler indignation naturally Ire ted upon that part of the correspon dence which, it was alleged, touched her ; honor. The end of all this is, that Mrs ! Sumner has gone her way to Europe— their common establishment in Washing j ton being given up, and another is taken j by the Senator for the winter. There is some scandal afloat beyond all ; this, relating both to the Senator and the | lady—such as may be expected from early j denotements in such a marriage affair—but I the basis of the report in Boston is such as I send yon. What I have written is in everybody's mouth, and it may possibly be erroneous in some of the details, but lin substance probably correct. I send it • to you for publication because what, if any j thmg, is wrong here had better at oneo be ! set right tO stop the touggrs of the thou ' sands that are making more out of a few i facts.— Boston (October 21) Correspond ence of the New York Express. Philosophical. The Republicans have a sensible way of reconciling themselves on their late defeat* One savs, "the Republicans did not turn out," another, "it was the local issues" others say, "it was the Lager Beer ques tion ; while Ben Wade says: The d—d Bonds and the G—d d —d niggers gave that State to the Copperheads; while an other bawls lustily, "the Quakers didn't vote, "the fact is" another says, "the Re publicans staid at home to thrash Buck wheat, and the Copperheads went to elec tion and voted. Now, we think they are all about right. The Republicans did stay away, becuuse they began to see where their party was leading tbem to; the Sol diers learned that they were "played out," and did not go; tbo Bond-holders began to see repudiation staring tbem in the face, and they didn't go; the Quakers be gan to see another war, and didn't go, — Finally, there was a good many Republi cans, who thought that reconsti uction down South was well enough, but re con struction at home on the negro suffrage social equality platform, smelt a little too strong, and they didn't go— Ex, How Geary is Paying off the State Debt. "Bob, 1 have just paid off that note in bank, and feel good." "Where did you raise the money ?" Why, you see, I gave them a new note at ninety days, paid the discount, and lift ed the old one." It is on that plan Geary is paying off the State debt. He borrowed largely last spring, paying six per cent, interest infold and now he is puying off the bonds which only command five per cent, in paper with the money he thus raised. That is a fair specimen of Radical financiering, and the fuss that is being made over it shows that Radical newspapers consider their readers to be very stupid and ignorant.— Lan. In tW A negro was so convinced of the lowliness of his race that he was indifferent as to a future slate, believing that "dey'il make niggers work when in Lieaben !"

Abraham Lincoln, late President, left personal estate to the value of SIIO,OOO, — VY hat hta become of the money, is the que •* tion. (From the New Fork World ) Mrs Lincoln's Wardrobe.. Full Explanation of the Whole Matter— Important Letter fritm Mrs Lincoln— Her Complaints of the Jngratijude o/ Black Republican Office-Seekers, The announcement has already been made in these columns that' Mrs. Abra||pm Lincoln, widow of the late President was compelled to dispose of some of her per sonal effects in order to eke out the slen der income which remained to her after the settlement of her husband's estate, and that she was, in fact, in the city under the assumed name of Mrs. Clarke for the pur pose of superintending the sale of her property. As Mrs. Lincoln is no longer auxious to withhold from the public the lacts of the case, there can be no impro priety in imparting further information upon the subject, as obtaiued from the la dy herself. THE PROPERTY LEFT BY MRS. LINCOLN. Upon the death of Mr. Lincoln an ef fort was made to appropriate for his wife and family the sum that he would have re ceived from the United States had he liv ed to finish his second term of office, to wit: one hundred thousand dollars; but it resulted in appropiiating but twenty five thousand dollars, the amount of one year's salary as President. Of this sum three thousand dollars were required to discharge certain standing obligations, i leaving but twenty-two thousand dollars, ! which, with the house and lot in Spring field, 111., owned by Mr. Lincoln previous i to his election to the Presidency in iB6O, was all the property which fell to Mrs. Lincoln. Her present income, she states, is but seventeen hundred dollars a year, of which three handled comes from the rent of ber old house in Springfield. Pi appears from this that Mr. Lincoln not only saved no money while he occupied the White House, hut really lived beyond his income, which, in connection with the natural reluctance of his widow to return to the simple style of living to which she had been used before her residence in Washington, has compelled her to part with seme of her personal effects at the present time. LETTERS FROM MRS. LINCOLN. Appended are several letters written bv Mis. Lincoln in relation to this most un pleasant business, the contents of which will surprise the public. Ibe Gist in or der of their date, appears to be the fol lowing : CHICAGO, Sept. 1, 18G7. "MR. BRADY : —A notice in a New York paper having attracted ray attention that you sold, articles of value on commis sion, prompts me to write. The articles I am sending you todi>pose of were gifts of dear tiiends, which only urgent necessity compels me to part with, and I am espe cially anxious thai they shall not he sacri ficed. The circumstances are peculiar and painfully embarrassing, therefore 1 hope you will endeavor to realize as much as possible from litem. Hoping soon to hear from you I remain, very respectfully yours, MRS. A, LINCOLN." THE ARTICLES FORWARDED TO NEW YORK. The next letter, bearing the same date as the preceding is as follows : "Chicago. Sept 1, 18G7. "Mr, Brady, Commission Broker, 609 Broadway, New York; "I have this day sent to you personal property which lam compelled to part with, and which you will find of consider able value. The articles consist of four camel's hsyr shawls, lace dress and shawl, a parasol cover, a diamond ring, two dress patterns, some furs, Ac. I'lease have them appraised, and confer by letter with me. "Very respectfully, "Mrs. A. LINCOLN." THE ARTICLES TO BE SOLD. In this connection, is given an invento ry of the articles sent to Mr. Brady, at 609 Broadway, by Mr 9.

SIRS. LINCOLN'S OPINION OF REPUBLICANS. A significant feature of the subsequent letters and memoranda is the feeling en tertained by Mrs. Lincoln towards men who besought Ler influence to secure their official positions, and were profuse with promises if she would gratify their wishes but now give her the cold shoulder. Cer tain persons of their party, such as Thur low Weed, Henry J. Raymond, Wm. 11. Seward, and others, she is particularly se vere against, and claims that it was through tbeir influence that the plan proposed by the voluntary subscription of the people was thwarted. At this point the follow ing 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 Black Republican party, in consideration of the nnkindness and ingratitude display ed by them in depriving her of almost all means of support; the reply was: "I could not relinquish my attachment for the party to which my husband belonged, and in whose cause his precious life was sacrificed, notwithstanding it is composed of such men as Weed, Raymond and Sew ward, who nominally belong to it. and who to accomplish their purposes, would drag it down to the lowest depths of degradation. The late President thoroughly tested these men, and had become fully aware before his death of their treachery and falseness." MRS. LINCOLN UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME. As the negotiations with Mr, Brady pro ceeded, Mrs. Lincoln deemed it best that her name should not appear, the reasons 'or which are given in the foliowitf g extrac from a letter written by her: " Through the ingratitude of the Re pultlieati9 towards the memory of the la mented President, the family of their chief has been left to suffer want and destitution. Therefore, it is natural to suppose that when it became imperatively necessary for Mrs. Lincoln, the honored and beloved wife of the late President, to dispose of ber apparel and jewelry to enable her to meet the common daily necessities of life, it was certainly in better taste that Mrs, Clarke, rather then Mrs. Lincoln, should appear in the proceeding. Although in her overwhelming sorrow she was bv an ; ungrateful Republican party peprived of her rightful maintenance, they should ap- 1 preciate her delicacy in desiring her true name and their owr. ignominy from being, known to the world." SUBSEQUENT LETTERS. The next letter presents more in detail the reasons for her action in this matter, and at the same time expresses her regret that the ingratitude of Republicans may do injury to the Republican party: "CHICAGO, Sept. 22, 1867. "W. 11. BRADY, Esq: You write me that reporters are after you concerning my goods deposited with you —which, in con sideration of my urgeot wants, I assure you I am compelled to relinquish —and also that there is a fear that these news men will seize upon the painful circum stances of your having these articles placed in your hands to injure the Republican party politically. Iu the cause of this party and for universal freedom my belov ed husband's precious life was sacrificed, nor for the world would Ido anything to injure the cause. My heart iseveranx ious for its success, notwithstanding the veiy men for whom my noble husband did so much, unhesitatingly deprived me of ail means of support and left me in a pitiless coudition. The necessities of life are upon me, urgent and imperative, and I am scarcely removed from want —so different from the lot my loving and devoted bus band would have assigned me—and I find myself left to struggle for myself. I am compelled to pursue the only course left me—immediately within the next week to sell these goods, and if not wholly dispos ed of by Wednesday, October 30th, on iliat Hay please sell at auction, after ad vertising very largely that they are my goods' "Very respectfully. MRS. A. LINCOLN." STILL FUKEHER EXPLANATION. The last letter which of mention will be made at this time is the following: [Private.] "September 25. "W, H. Brady, Esq.: " I have reflected upon your remarks and have cone uded to leave evejything to your good juJgment and excellent sense. My great, great sorrow and loss have made me painfully sensitive; but as rny feelings and pecuniary comfort were never regard ed or even recognized in the midst of mv overwhelming bereavement, now that I atn pressed in a most startling manner fui means of common subsistence, I do not know why I should shrink from an oppor tunity ofiimproving my trying position.— Being assured that all you do will he ap propriately executed, and in a manner that will not startle me very greatly and excite as little comment as possible, again I shall leave all in your hands. 1 am passing through a very painful ordeal, which the country, in remembrance of my noble and elevated Irj.-band should have spared me. I remain, with great respect, very truly, "MKS. LINCOLN." " P. S.—As ynu'mention that my goods have been vhlued at| twenty four thousand dollars, I will be wilting to make a rednc lion of eight thousand dollars in five-twen ties —nothing less. If this is not accom plished, I will continue to advertise large ly until every article is sold. I must have means to live, at least in a medium com fortable state. " MRS. L " iW A blacksmith having been slander ed, was advised to apply to the courts for redress. He replied with true wisdom : "I shall never sue anybody for slander. I shall go into my shop and work out a bet ter character in six months than I could get in a court room in six years." Is DRUNKENNESS RARE IN VINE GROW ING DISTRICTS ?—Rev. Dr. Bellows writes from Bingen-on the-Rhine to the Liberal Christian : It is much to be regretted that the friends of temperance have of late been trying to unsettle the opinion that druukenness is rare in vino growing countries. It is so patent in France and Germany that intem perance in the form of drunkenness is a most exceptional vice that only willful blinduess or partisanship could deny it. I do not recollect to have seen one tipsy man since I left Paris and I have dilli gently sought the places where, in our country they would be found.
