Specimen of Lincoln HOnesty-The
Extraordinary Appropriations
for Furnishing the White House.

The extraordinary appropriations made
by the present and the preceding Congress
for furnishing the Executive mansion have
attracted much public attention, in connec-
ton with the small results seemingly ac-
complished by -thesa largo -disbnrsensenss.
This fund, for refitting the Presidents
house, is disbursed more than any Otherap-
preparation under the eye of the Executive,
and he is always held responsible for the
honesty of the expenditure. The bills and
accounts, to be sure, go through the routine
of auditing by the Treasury bureau but,
since the disbursements are so directly and
peculiarly made by the President, or one
of his domestic family, the work of the
auditors has been one OF mere form. Well,
it SO happened, in the early part of Mr.
Lincoln's administration, that bill was
presented at Washington for payment by
Messrs. E. V. Haughwout d Co., of this
city, for a china dinner service, furnished
by order of Mrs. Lincoln for the Executive
mansion. The amount of the bill as rem
dered was some twenty-three hundred dol
lars. There was delay in payment. Messrs.
Haughwout & Co. sent one of their princi-
pal men to the White House to push the bill
through and get the money. There were
still difficulties in the way, the nature of
which for long time could not be ascer-
taiLed. AT last it was found that some clerk,
who had to pass upon the bill, delayed it
because of the very unheard of price charg-
ed for an American service of china. AT
length dealer from Philadelphia was sent
for to examine the china and estimate its
value, and the appraiser returned eight hun
dred dollars as its full value, instead of tlcen-
ty-three hundred. The case, at last came
again before the President, and the repre-
sentative of Messrs. Haughwout & Co. was
called in and confronted with the Philadel-
phia valuation. He promptly answered, in
substance: "JVM, Mr.. President, my firm
meter pretended that the chtn2 ecas really acorth
more than eight hundred dollars. We had red-
son to suppose yOu knep that. The difference
bet,ceen The price of the china end the amount q
the bill is for articles ordered for your i)rtUdte
fdnilyuse, but inUOiCed as china for the lVhtte
House" "Honest" Abe was cornered and
caught. Like another very unfortunate
man, dishonest in another scandalous trans
action in which he was caught, he had mot
a word to say" Mr.. Lincoln at last paid
the difference out of his own pocket, and
Messrs. Haughwout & Co. got their money.
We may be in error, by very few dol
lars, one way or the other, as to the amounts
in question; but if any loyal Republican,
who believes in the honesty of "Old Abe"
doubts the general correctness of our state
ment, we refer him to Secretary Fessenden
or to Mr.. Lincoln himself-Ne,o York

clare as the Of the American people tnat siter
pertinent Of war, during which, under the pretence
Of military necessity or war power higher than the
Constitutions the Constitution itself has been dlsre-
earded in eEsry paEt, and public liberty and private
Fight alike trodden down and the material prosperity

with view to ultimate convention Of the States,
or other peaceable means to the end that at the
liest practicable moment peace may be restored on
the basis of the Federal Union Of the States, :,
ResO,red, That the direct interference Of the mil
itary authorities of the United States in the recent
elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and
Delaware, was shameful violation Of the Constitu-
tion and repetition of such acts N the approach
ing election will be held as revolutionary and re-

Resolged That the aim and object of tho Demo-

declare that they consider that the administrative
usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers

Reso1Ued, That the shameful disregard Of the Ad-
ministratiOn to its duty, in respect to felowcti
zens who now are and long have been, prisoners Of
war in suffering condition, deserves the severest
reprobation the score alike Of public policy and
common humanity.
ResoIced, That the sympathy of the Democratic
party is heartily and earnestly extended to the SOL
diery of our army and sailors of our navy who are
and have been, in the field and on the sea, under
the flag of their country and in the event of its at
tanning power they will receive all the caro-, protee-
ton and regard that the brave soldiers and sailors
of the Republic haveso nobly earned.

why Blair was Kicked Out Of the
Cabinet-Truth Unpopular with

Abe.
Hon. Montgomery Blair, Mr.. Lincoln's
POSTMASTER General, who ought to be
good authority, in his speech at Rockville,
Md, during the cabinet imbroglio, thus
unequivocally charged his associates in the
cabinet, and in the party, with the attempt
to bring about practical miscegenation:
The Abolition party, while pronouncing
philippics against slavery, seek to make a
caste of another color by amalgamating the
black element with the free white labor of
our land, and so to expand tar beyond the
present confines of slavery, the evil which
makes it obnoxious to republican statesmen;
and now, when the strength of the traitors
who attempted to embody power out of
the interests of slavery to overthrow the
government is seen to fail, they would make
the manumission of the slaves the means
of infusing their blood into our whole
system by blending with it "amdlgama-
tioa, equality and fraternity" The cul-
tivators OF the soil must then be-
come hybrid race, and our govern
ment hybrid government, ending, as all
such unnatural combinations have ever
: done, in degraded, If not abortive, genera
1 itions, and making serfdom for the Inferior
caste-the unmiXed blood of the conquered
race inevitably asserting despotism over
it. To facilitate this purpose, concerted
appeal is now made to the people of the free
States through the press, to open the way
to this daring innovation, beginning in the
Southern States, unhappily now brought
under the ban of the Calhounite conspira-
tors. With his view, it is proposed to de-
clare the State governments vacated in that
section when they are restored to the Union.

DEATH OF GEN. RUssELL.-In graphic
description of Sheridan's great battle and
victory, the correspondent of The n. Y.
World says: ''As the revived troops moved
slowly forward, giving out their volleys,
General Russell was struck in the side by a
bullet. Strengthening himself up without
uttering word of pain, he called out to
the command to move on and moved on
with them into the fray. In half moment
more piece of bursted shell from one of
the enemy's batteries entered his breast,
passing down through his vtals and out at
the other side. He fell from his horse with
out a word. His men moved by him. His
officers, moving by, also saw with hearts
1ull of tears and agony which they will
never forget, but which they could not then
attempt, even had it been in their power,
to alleviate"

that after four years Of failure to EestoIe the
Union by the experiment Of war, during which,

war power, higher than the Constitution itself.
that instrument has been disregarded in every

ferce the suppression Of freedom Of speech and
OF the press the denial of the right Of aaylum /;

irving its just powers from the consent Of the
governed.
5. Resolved, That the shameful disregard by
the Administration Of its duty in respect to our
fellow citizens who are now and long have been
prisoners Of war, and in q suffering condition,
deserves the eevereSt reprobation, on the score
alike OF public and common humanity.
D. Resolved, That the sympathy Of the Demo
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to
the soldiers OF our army, who now are an have
been in the field, under the flag Of their country,
and in the event OF our attaining power, they will
receive all the care, protection and regard that
as brave soldiers of the Republic, they have so no.
bly, earned.
