THE LINCOLN SCANDAL.
A Rare Morsel for the Gommips.
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. I
We Say this much, not fbr the purpose of
telt-AE.OOg personal contributions from be
ing matte to Mrs. Lincoln if she desires them,
and much less ;,9 deter Congress from making
a further appnenriation for her support,.
which we would be glad to have it do;
but in order that the people of the nation
may not suppose that Mrs. Lincoln is in any
thing like destitute circumstances. Her 'in
come may not be sufficient to meet All her
wants and necessities, but it is certainly
large enough to maintain her at least as corn,
tortably as she lived before going to Wash
ington.
[From the Cincinnntl Coin inerelal Rati,LOcto

The widow of President Lincoln has W
ended upon largely advertising her true char ,
w ee to the American people, and to the
world, In intensely vulgar woman, her
conduct throughout the administration of
ter husband was mortifying to all who re
spected him, and a source of satisfaction to
the enemies of the country. The gaudy bad
taste with which she dressed, stud the con
stant effort to make a show of herself dis
gusted all observers. She was always trying
to meddle in public atThirs, and now she Witt
have it known to the whole world that she
accepted costly presents from corrupt con
, tractors. Her relatives wets nearly all seces
sionists, and it was suspected that her syms
lollies were rather with the rebellion than
the nation, and her highest dream of ambi
tion to be recognized as one of the Southern
aristocracy. After the death of her husband
her conduct was disgraceful. She lingered
in the White House, and when she had to
leave it sought to appropriate as her person
al property articles that belonged to the
'Mouse. Having been charitably permitted to
sink into obscurity the dentanas notoriety at
the exi,lense of public shame, and we have
no doubt she enjoys the, large advertising she
is reeciring from the press- of the country.
[She has piAlsty we money to live comfortable
with, but she wants show, and regards it her
right to revel in barbaric pomp. Hence her
cries about the ingratitude of the people and
the need of money. If she had had the good
sense to return to her old howse in Spring
field, and to live modestly there, she. withM
her tinlts. would have been respected, and,
perhaps iii time, she might have been revered
by the -American people. She could not
think of such a thing however: Her com
plaint of straightened circumstances is un
warranted.

Hefore the wife of Lincoln; eyes dreamed of
going to the White House, she was a terror
to the village of Springfield, Illinois, where
she lived, and the eccentricities of Ana Todd
—so she wi t s always called—were counuou

Washington. Dct. 4.—The disclosures con
cerning Mrs. Lincoln's alleged destitution,
and her efforts to sell phrtions of her ward
robe, excite much comment here, but do mat.
surprise people, as her extravagant habits
while at the White House were matters of
common notoriety ; but. how she has tuan
aged to squander the twenty-five thousand
dollars voted her by Congress, in less than
two years, is a mystery to many who cannot
credit the statement. The interest alone of
this sum, if properly_ invested, would have
been sufficient to have supported her com
fortably during her lifetime. It is known
that Mr. Lincoln left nearly fitly thousand
dollars to her at his death, and the sale of his
flroperty in Illinois, after death, brought a
considerable sum of money.

[Front the Norwich (Conn.) 'Advertiser, Oct. 7.3
The sale of Mrs. Lincoln's spare clothing
is exciting no little sensation. It comes out
that the goods °tiered for sale were presents
by Republican office-seekers to secure the
potent influence of Mrs. L. with her "late-la
mented" in the procurement of office contracts
and cotton permits. Tnere is a nasty history
connected with the Lincolnisan occupancy of
the White House, which will come out some

(From the Roston Advert tger, 04tober 7.]
When the news of Lee's surrender reached
Washington, in that happy time of national
rejoicing, which the assassin's hand cut off
so sharply a day or two later, a jubilant
crowd flocked around the White House to
call on the President, whose words of sad
ness, of. hope, of encouragement and high
resolve had given voice to the people's hearts
on many less cheerful occasions of the war.
The speech which• Mr. Lincoln then made—
short, appropriate, full of feeling and of wis
dom—was one of his best efforts, and the cir
cumstance of its being his last public words
and so soxin followed by his murder, caused
it to be especially prized and remembered by
the public afterwards. As the President
slowly and impressively read the sentences
which sketched out Wit probable plan of res
toration, a gay.party of ladies tilled the win
dow next to that from which he spoke. Re
garding the crowd with its glaring torchlights
as a mere spectacle, this company chatted

recognized the wife of the Chief Magistrate
they had come to honor, this unseemly inter

sharp hiss of rebuke from a hundred tongues
brought silence. The President paused in
surprise, thinking that some word of his own

and mortification which came over his foci,

The bitter ferocity of the Republican press
On the widow of President Lincoln is with
out n parallel in the annals of newspaper
warfare. Her statement that she is in pot:
erly, and obliged to sell her wardrobe, " the
gift of dear friends," to provide for the ne
cessities of her household, and her chance
allusion to the conduct of Republican lead ,
err, hatLopened the vials of their wrath upon
her, anti, in her lonely, widowed condition,
without a tunic protector to defend her from
their base assaults, she who, but a 'few years
since, was bespattered with all sorts of praise;
as the " rosy Empress" who won all hearts
by her queenly manners, is now traduced
as if she were a common thief and a disgrace
to her sex, for her heartless, grasping avarice;
In this war upon women, it is painful to see
editors who claim to be governed by the de
eeneieq of life, and to be gentlemen In name
if not by nature, join in the cry of black
guards and slanderers to traduce the wife- of
the ratan whom they professed to believe with
out a peer within the length and breadth of
the land. Such things are diSgraceibl-z-dis
graceful.

We have little sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln,
and even less for the Republican party. This
party helped make this woman what she is,
and we are not certain but what they ought
to aid her in . her extremity. We don't want
them to call an extra sesston of Congress, or
to pa&sn id!l for the purpose ot reconstruct
ing her. We simply desire that they should
'part with a little of the wholesale plunder her
husband's policy enabled them to acquire,
and buy her peace. The world has heard
enough of this, and it is time, for their own
reputation, if not for that of the nation, that
the memory of this woman should die out,
and " that the places that have known-her
should know her no more forever."
[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. Mrs .Lancoin at half-price, and to pre
serve her from absolute want, the laces and
bijouterir which it Wee gave her to purthase
her favor.
[ From 'the St. Lotibl Republican, October:.]
* * We can scarcely doubt that the
majority of persons will read with a sense of
humiliation and mortification for Mrs. Lin
coln, and with a feeling of sham; for the
public. * * If we were to sliy , that the
whole unseemly display wears the aspect of
a bias k-mailiug scheme, we Think we should
reflect the views of those it•ho may read the
letters we publish. • * We think she would
have consulted her reputation for womanly
excellenettial delicacy if she had remained
in Illinois and covered up this whole disgrace
ful and disgusting matter with the shawls,
flounces and furs, which she now offers aj
public auction, with a threat of public ex,
pespire of somebody or something if she does
icicitg.a her price. The obscurity of the old
home in Springfield would be mortifying td

Mrs. Lincoln was the owner of q fashion
able four story marble (rout house, bought
two years ago at a cost of $lO,OOO, which
could be sold to-day for $25,000. Thia dwel,
ling is said. to have been completely furbish
ed in the most elegant style, which furniture
'643 sold at auction,realizing almost their fug
_retail value when Mrs. Lincoln discontinued
housekeeping, last summer. At the same time
she parted with a valuable carriage and span
of horses, besides gie usual appropriate ac
cessorieo of a first-class equipage, so that
at the beginning of the summer, or rath
er late in the spring, Mrs. Lincoln must have
had at least $lO,OOO iu ready money.
spent the summer very quietly- ;and economi
cally at Racine, situated a few miles from
Lake Michigan. 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

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
