Lincoln'5 Last Joke.

Tho Philadelphia Bulletin learns from
excellent authority That during the recent
visit of the Finance Committee of the Phila-
delphia Board of Trade 10 Washington, an
informal visit was paid to President Lincoln,
BY whom the committee was received with
all of his well known affahjl;ty and cordiality.
Encouraged by the Presidents open man
ner. one of the members made bold to attack
him directly upon the topic of his own heart,
whom tho following dialogue ensued: "Mr.
President, wish you would tell me where
the Burnside expedition has gone" 'Why,
don't you know where they have gone? 7
thought everybody knew that" well,
sir, it may appear very ignorant in me, but

against the wishes Of many oflis owt friends
Mr.. Seward's dispatch to Lord Lyons was
supposed to have exhausted the subject, and
even the word Of the Chairman of the Com.
mittee on Foreign Relations was looked up
on as something like an effort TO paint the
lily and adorn the rose. But Senator Sum-
ner insisted upon making his speech, and he
did it - a crowded auditory, and when he
concluded, received the praise of many who
doubted the policy of the effort, including
many Of those who had differed from him
on many questions. Its effect upon the
statesmen Of Europe must be wholesome
Thosewho are not satisfied with Mr. Seward $
argument and who believe with the London
Times, that he has rested our case upon a
somewhat narrow basis, will hail the broad.
or and more comprehensive view Of Mr..
Sumner with unicigned pleasure.
