PRESIDENT LINCOLN CANDIDATE yoR Ks-KLEcrios.
The HERALD, which understands the White
House in Washington, tells Mr.. Lincoln In 10 be
or IL n candidate for reelection. We have no
doubt Of IL. But few men ever were In that White
House that did not want TO stay there. Power
over only sixty millions OF annual expenditure
and over some 20 900 ofiiccholders only had -
charm: but power over 81 900, ,000, 900 Of annual
expenditure, 100000 soldiers and 100000 civil
Office holders has "A witchery In IL, more than
magic even. Only two men living ever laid down
such power-Charlcs V. and the Roman Emperor
Diocletian. Mr.. Lincoln In not either Of these
great men; but, dancing Dervish-lke. seems intox-
Gated and entranccd by the whiH Of the mighty
