The interest cre - Ated by the disclosures copied into our issue of the 3d, from the N.IY. World, relating tti Mrs. Lincoln's proffered RA° of her wardrobe, is very general. The Radical press hare mostly copied the World's statement, 'accepted it as true, and comment ed accordingly. Strange as it may appear, most of them, instead of suggesting plans for her relief, have criticised Mrs. Lincoln's course with severity, and the majority strong ly intimate that she is "not what she ought to be," She is accused of e xtravagance, with having exercised her influence over Old Abe to secure wrongful ends, and various other foibles which we prefer not to repeat against woman.- The character Mew conan4-ats will be best illustrated by comparing them with the tone of the same papers, while Lin Colnwas in office, when to intimate that he or any of his family could la.; aught but the quintessence of purity was the rankest Cop perheadism. We subjoin a few of these Rad ical statements, which show-the characMr of the whae...and will only add that they hut verify the imituation 4 of Democratic journals at the time the Lizieoln family occupied the White Houie; [From thr Agvortig. i, Edit- Thurlow Weed.] We havti never approached 'a que.tion with, halt the sorrow that this one awakens. To vindicate, shield, mid protect "Heaven's best gift to man" is a grateful dutY. Willie to even reprove, and much more to assail a War man, is painful, and if without a perfect jus tification, unmanly. If the American Comgess Or the American people have !Idled to meet the pecuniary ex mctations of Mr: Lincoln's widow, it is be tlitl44! that personage failed, during his life and :,inee his 4leath, to inspire either with re spect or exunidefice. They should not, there fore, be subjected to the reproach, or rest un der the imputation, of ingratitude. Had Mrs. Lincoln, while In power, borne herself becomingly, the suggestion of a Lincoln Fund, by - voluntary contributions, would have been promptly responded to. The 1.1.4 - *lona! heart was warm. It gushed out in liberal endowments for Grant and Furragut. It would as cheerfully have met the appeal in favor of Mrs. Lincoln If it had not intui tively closed and chilled. In her conyerastiodMrs. Lincoln is repre sented 115 bitterly denouncing Secretary Seward, for which. ut' ,nurse, there is no warrant or excuse, for he ks , rongs no man, and much less is lie capable of injustice, wrong, or even unkindness, to NV013.0. But we happen to know—the law: raleb B. Smith. then Secretary of the Interior . , be ing our informanta fact which incen.cd Mrs. Lim.°ln - against Mr. Seward. The Pres ident gave the Prince Napoleon a dinner, fur which Mrs. Lincoln sent to the Secreta ry of the Interior for payment of a bill of some $9OO. This demand, though wholly illegal, coming from the President's wife, embarrassed the Secretary, who called tv on the Secretary of State tbr advice, where he learned that Mr. Seward had also dinol the Prince, leaving the same number of guests, and ghing them a duplicate of the dinner at the White House. In litet, Mr. Seward or dered both dinners from the SUM(' restaurant, and by his own bill knew the cost of each. For what Mr. Seward paid $3OO, Mrs. Lin coln demanded $9OO. But whether three or nine hundred, the claim was alike illegal, and could not be paid. For this, however, Mrs. Lincoln quarrelled with Secretaries . Smith and Seward. ' This zunount, however, was subsequently covered up in it gardener's account, but occasioned scandal, which re spect for Mr. Lincoln measurably suppress ed. Though Mr. Lincoln left an estate which enabled his family to live quite as comforta bly as they had ever lived, Congress and the people would have promptly and cheerfully provided munificently. fair them if Mrs. Lin coln herself with every advantage that high position gave her, had made friends or in spired respect. And this last exhibition proves how instinctively right the popular estimate of her' character was. The fact for which Mrs. Lincoln seeks large publicity, namely, that she reecivt4 se4ents valued at $24,000, is a pregnant and kwestive one—suggestive, at lesst,of offices and. contracts, unless the more charitable construction is reached through the assump tion that they were expressions of regard and friendship. But it is not known that the - wife of any President, however estimable, was so loaded with shawls, laces, diamonds, rings, &-c. Mrs. Lincoln's Propensities to sell things was manifested early, and before any neces- Ally was foreseen. If our information is re liable, eleven of Mr. Lincoln's new linen shirts were sold almost before the remains, which were 'shrouded in the twelfth, had started for that "bourne from whence no tray eller returns." This thortifying revelation will go abroad, and as is-natural, the press of Europe will make the.most of it, in deprecating the in gratitude of our •tovernment and the want of liberality in the Atstericah people. This con sideration alone constrains us to discharge the unpleasant duty of showing that neither the government nor the people are justly ob noxious to these accusations.

The above figures speak for themselves. To the added to them. however, is the $25,000 which was'appropriated by the last Congress on account of Mr. Lincoln's salary, making altogether the total value of the personal es tate to be about one hundred and ten thous . - and dollars, to say nothing of the real estate described in the schedule above. So that the statement made In the World that Mr. Lincoln saved nothing and left nothing from his salary, and that 31rs. Lincoln has no re= sources but what remains from the appro-_ priations of Congress, $22,000, and the rents of the homestead, returning altogether but $1,700 per year, cannot po.sibly be true. That Mr. Lincoln did not leave his family wealthy is very evident, but no .one, in view of the above inventorv, will say that they are in the deplorable e oddidion of want and des titution, in regard to which the public has with so Much astonishment just been in formed.

[From the Chicago Times, October 7.1 It is the characteristic of Radicalism to be slavish, fawning and supple -towards those of whom it expects favors, and forgetful and in tolerant in the CUM of those from whom it has no reason to anticipate assistance. So long as Mr. Lincoln was alive, and could dis pense patronage in the shape of contrasts and offices, he was a deml-god. After his death, so loug as his body could be used to fire the Northern heart against the South; and to as• sist in preparing the public mind to back'up schemes of disfranchisement and severity, so long was it kept above ground and forced into an unseemly, indecent and prolonged exhibition all over the 'North. The moment his remains were entombed, and were of no further use in making voters or creating a public sentiment favoring the Radical designs against the South, they were forgotten. An, attempt to erect a monument fitting to his party life and services proved abortive. Rad icalism had neither time nor money to ex pend in commemorating the Services of dead men. • It required all of both to manipulate Mr. Lincoln's successor. " The king is dead --long live the king,". was its cry, and it de serted the grave to flock about the court of the new monarch. So long as .Mr. Lincoln was President Mrs. Lincoln was of use. She could be implored for office. She could be made available in securing, patronage. How she was feted and courted I How suppliant Radicals thronged her levees, flattering her wit, her graces, her intelligence, and craving her'powerful influence to carryout their per- - poses!, How they overwhelmed her with shawls, and silks, and laces, and diamonds, which they assured het' were testimonials, not to her position and her influence, but to• her worth as a woman. Mr. Lincoln died. Mrs. Lincoln was forced to descend fromn her pedestal. But a little time passed, and we find her offering her dresses and jewels for sale to secure herself, as she i asserts,,tgainst want. The contrast which a little Oer two years presents is marvellous. Then Mrs. Lin coln was surrounded by a servile thron g who professetla glib willingness to lay their lives and their fortunes at her feet ; to-day Mrs. Lincoln is discovered in a pawnbroker's shop pledging the souvenirs of her greatness to preserve herself, against want. Such is Rad ic.alism—a timing slave to power, but infi nitely insolent and' intolerable to weakness. The hest thing it can now do b to buy up, from.

It was pretty generally published.that Mrs. Lincoln had accumulated $85,000, which were inmsted'in government bonds on deposit in Washington. This, with the addition of Mrs. Lincoln's personal es bite and the V 25,000 appropriated by Con gress, makes the value of the personal estate inhetited by Mrs. Lincoln to be about $llO,- 000, to ey nothing of the real estate describ ed in the inventory of the Lincoln estate re. cently published. The Subscription for Mrs. Lincoln. [From the World, Tuesday of last week.] The proposition to raise a subscription for Mrs. Lincoln's benefit has received the sane, lion of that lady, end about five hundred let ters have been addressed to prominent poll dams and colored clergymen, calling upon them for donations. A book has also been opened in Mr. Brady's rooms, on Broadway, where her Wardrobe is on exhibition, for the same purpose. 'fhe stream -of visitors still continues, although but few purchases are made. Among those daily to be seen in the establishment Is Mrs. Elizabeth - Beckley, a Washington modiste, who was also the milli ner of Mrs. Lincoln, when that distressed and ill-used person was the Lady of the White House. She remarks rather plausibly that no such out-cry is made in France when the Empress of the French sells her ward robe, and us Eugenie never wears the same court dress twice, and being the acknowledg ed leader of-the fashions, her cast off nu , meats fetch enormous prices, and on the day appointed for the sale extravagant bids are_ offered, so in reality she rather makes than loses by these rapid changes ,of toilet. Mrs. Lincoln, however, is under suumber of dis advantages in selling her wardrobe, as she neither was nor is a leader of fashion, and in addition her dresses were bought at a period when gold was at $2.50, and everything sell ing at double it's value even in greenbacks. Now dry goods are worth about a third of what they then cost, anti in addition to that, being second hand, people expect to get them - for less price. She also remarked that peo ple here had not that reverence for loyalty and former greatness us in Europe, nor do they pay particular respect to relics, and a new dress has in their eyes much more value than the old raiment of the widow of a mar tyred President. - She said the politicians.. used to besiege Mrs. Lincoln. and that pres ents would be sent to her nVIII people whom she had never seen. She was courted for her supposed influence with-the President's wife, and they would even come to her after trying every means in their power to get Into the White House. As a last resort they would call on reception days, and Mrs. Lincoln would often be surprised to be asked by a perfect stranger, Mrs. President Lincqln, I hope you admired that set of furs I set? you lately." " Oh, was it you sent them %. she would reply ; " really I am a loss to thank you for your , kitainess."-" Not at all, madam, it was but a alight and worthlan token of the
