The Slander Against Mrs. Lincoln,

Stories are being circulated throughout
the country rejecting on the loyalty of the
Presidents wife, some going so far as 10

part" we can at least speak by authority,
and brand it as a whole cloth fabrication.
Mrs. Lincoln does Indignantly deny sym
patby with secession in any shape or form,
and is less charitable towards the peculiar
institution" than is her husband In thus
vindicating the fair fame of our Lady Presi.

Mr. Henri Wikoff, otherwise known as
Chevalier Wikof, has been, it is currently
stated in Washington, shown the door Of
the White House. 1t seems this party,
though the good nature of some of the la
dies attached to our republican court, has
had access to the White House. and obtain
ed information there not of any great i'm
portauce, but which regularly appeared in
the columns Of the New York Herald
Wikoff7s officiousness, and the assumption,
of intimacy with certain wel-known leaders
in the highest political circles, was such
that it attracted considerable attention, and
his antecedents were inquired into. His
peculiar relations 10 Fanny Elssler, and his
escapade with the heiress, Miss Gamble, as
well as his subsequent career, was finally
brought to the attention of Mr.. Lincoln, who,
as is reported and believed, promptly or
dered the expulsion of the Chevalicr from
the White House. His occupation at Wash.
iugton, therefore, is gone, except as a new:
gatherer for the Herald, in which business
he is a serious annoyance to the represen,
tatives of the press, who, as general thing
are gentlemen.

In recent letter TO the Philadelphia

he says:

HHAANNANAAH"
A Washington correspondent has the fol-
lowing in refetcnceto the position Of Gen.
Fremont with tho Government.
We called on Gen. Fremont yesterday,
at his. residence, No. 5s3 K street. He
made us at homo uncercmouiously, and our
interview Of an hour was exceedingly pleas.
ant and instructive. Those Of our party Of
Troians who had never met the General
before were pleased with the man, and
believe left with moro favorable impressions
Of his eniincpt talents and patriotism than
they had previously entertained, highly as
he had ever been estimated by all, or near
ly all Of us. Gen. Fremont's yindication
Of his official acts during his memorable
one hundred days in Missouri, is in posses
sion Of the investigating committee Of Con-
gress. That committee unanimously agsee
that his defense is complete in all respects,
that he bas reluted all tho oslumnics Of his
prosecutors, and demonstrated his personal
integrity MS well as admirable military tact,
judgment, and capacity. They will report
accordingly, and the General will bo award
ed another and an important command
Butthis Isl not sufficient. General Fremont's
defense should be published. Thomas is.
sue of ISLANDERS had free circulation, not
withstanding tho publication afforded aid
and comfort to the enemy. Personal just
ice as we'll as considerations Of loyalty de-
maud that the triumphant rcfutation, calm
and diguifed as It is, and pcrvadcd with a
spirit Of unselfsh patriotism, shall now be
officially published to the country. A man
possessed Of the sterling qualities Of Fro-
mont cannot be crushed by obloquy. Like
pure gold, his fame will appear all the hrigh
ter from the ordeal of fire through which il
has passed.

Presentation OF fremont TO Mcclellan.

Presentation OF Fremont 20 Mcclellan.
One Of tho most significant of the many
political groupings at Mrs. Liucoln's reun-
ion, was that in which tho President, Mrs.
Lincoln, Gen. and Mrs. Mcclellan, and
Gen. and Mrs. Fremont were parties. -
The two latter were waiting in the recep.
tion room until their carriage should arrive
when the President came up and asked
Gen. Fremont if he would be presented
TO Gen. Mcclellan. "With pleasure" re-
piled he, "but wo arc about leaying."--
"Never mind that" said tho President,
Tve got him 10 corner in the other room,
and he's waiting for you" OF course Gen.
Fremont did not refuse, so followed by Mr..
Sumner and Mrs. Fremont, he walked with
Mrs, Lincoln the entire length of the East
Room, the observed of all the guests, who
cheerfully made way for tho 'rising man.
The introduction was Of course the ordinary
simple ceremony, and after few moments
conversation with Gen and Mrs. Mcclellan
the party retired as they had advanced
The significance Of so marked an occurrence
did not fail to impress the hundreds o.
lookers-on, always ready to take and ac
upon an official one.-[Washington Cores

Monday and Tuesday were beautiful, sun

we had tho most violent snow-storm of the
winter. AS the Winter-Kiug's term is to
expire by limitation in few days, he plays
hard to make up lost time.
Thursday morning the snow was from
to 10 inches deep. About noon the sky
was clear and the sun shone out brightly
We think tho snow will not tarry long.

LOCALIZED ROBBERY.

Of all the pernicious, wicked and swind-
ling ''institutions" known to the army, is
the Sutler. These Suffers are set of vam-
pircs who by virtue of a law which iisgrac-
cs the statute book, arc following the diff
ferent regiments and taking from the un-
suspectiug and thoughtless soldier his wa
ges almost as fast as he earns them, bring
ing want suffering and sorrow to the fami-
lies of thousands. Not ore of the articles
vended by suffers is needed by the volun-
teers save tobacco, and that should be sup.
piled by the commissary. Ohio is voting
thrce-fourths of mill of tax for the fami-
lies, and government is continually incfeas-
ing the pay of its soldiers and yet this sys-
tenn of sutlerage is tolerated-R dishonor to
the nation-and a system of robbery of the
soldier. 1t may be said, that if the soldier
chooses TO spend bis wages with the sutIer
it is no ono's busines. But is it not tho
duty Of Government TO protect helpless and
destitute familiesi And is il not its duty
to abolish a system Of legalized robberyi-
Competition in the army is cut of, and tho
sutler sets his price as high as he likes
Who would pretend that itwould be right
for one man to have the exclusive privilege
to traffic in Sandusky County, and then to
have tho power 70 put on as high price
as he chose? When the soldier has no
money the sutler takes his note, and issues
tickets for il, To give your readers an idea
of the enormous profits, will state that
tho very poorest articles are sold at from 25
to $50 per cent. more than good articles can
be purchased for, in our cities. A man can
send to- Columbus and buy more tobacco
and better, for so cents, than he can get oI
the suiler for 81 90. Other articles 10 like
ratio. The worst feature Of this sutIcr sys.
TEN, however, is that Of selling liquors Ia
officers. 1t is certainly great Inconsistency
TO prohibit the sale Of liquor to priyates and
permit officers to get as much as they please
