| WHY yR. LINCOLN COULD NOT VISIT BROOKLYN.
The reason why Mr.. Lincoln could not visit Brook
lyn was that it would be impossible without changing
the entire programme of the journey. On TUESDAY
the Committee OF Invitation from the Brooklyn Com-
mon Council consisting Of Aid. Cashow, Scholes ana
Furev visited Mr. Lincoln at the AstOr House, TO To-
v,e him 10 partake Of the Inequalities of Brooklyn.
Du,pe the day they sent two kilograms TO the Presi-
dental party interceptDg it on the route, containing
the invitation. They received the reply that
the President would not make any decision in the mat
ter un,l he reached New.York After great deal OF
difficulty the Committee succeeded IN getting an INTRO
duction TO Mr. Lincoln, when they delivered toen IN
yitaton in person. He refened them to his private
Secretary, MI Nichols. From him they received the
answerthat il would be utterly impossible for the Presi-
dent TO accept the invitation US the arrangements wero
made which would occupy all of his time, eSeep'
perbaps one or two hours. Afterward, the COMMITTEE
were made iubant by being informed, through Super
intendent Kennedy, that Mr.. Lincoln would probaoiy
ACCEPT the invitation and make arrangements TO stay
couple Of hours in Brooklyn but these hopes were
again blasted by information that the President had
reconsidered his arrangements and found 1t positively
mpossble to make even the shortest visit to that city.
This ended the business Of the Committee. Arrange
nepts had been made In case the invitation had been
accepted by the Presidential party, to have reception
in the Academy of Music. The parquet was to be
oored over the building appropriately decorated and
reception given in every way ereditabe to the third
city in the Union. The Republican General COMMITTED
of Kings County held an adjourned meeting the same
evening. Immediately after organization the Commit
tee adjourned and proceeded to pay their respects to
Mr.. Lincoln, at the Astor House. They were intro
duced to the President elect, cordially received and
| after short chat retired.
