SPECULATION OF OLD ABE.-It appears
that the President Is laying something by for
a rainy day, and in tho pursuit of that landa-
bic undertaking is Using the advantages of his
official position. An nstan,e Of this has late
ly come to our knowledge that is vouched for
as true. It will be remembered that q few
weeks ago he located the central route of the
Pacific Railroad in favor Of Council Bluffs and
Omaha city. Tt now turns out II: { ne is
quite largely interested in land speculations
in the latter place, beiug the owner Of a com
siderable amount of land, which the location
of the road wiilefcourse, very mnch enehance,
and should one-haif of the expectations of the
other land holders of the place he realized,
will in the end meet him much larger amount
tiiun he will derive from his four years salary.

The Very Document They Wanted.
The Richmond Enquirer, in alluding to the
charge Of the New York Tribune that Lin

"As to the suppression Of president Lin
coins Proeiamation Of A nnesty," it is utterly
false. The Enquirer published in it full-so
did every daily paper. It was exactly the
kind of Proclamation We wsnted Mr. Lincoln
to make twas the full and complete con-
frmation of all We had charged upon Mr.. Lin.

and was satisfactory evidence that no social
ruin, but the outrage of mothers, wives and

would have been act of stupendous folIv,-
The Tribune understands political capital in

EMEUTE AT ST. FRAscIsvILLE.-We
learo from letter of friend in St. Fran.
cisville. that quite an excitement prevails
there on account Of recent outbreak OF
devotion to the Flag amongst the returned
veteran soldiers, which resulted ia the
cleaning out of Bob. McKee's store.
1t seems that the soldiers requested
Mckee, who is regarded by them As
something Of renegade, to display the
American Flag before his store, and on
his declining to do SO, they pitched in and
cleaned the concern cut.
This is free country. but man must
be traitor or fool who will refuse to
hoist the Flag of his Country under such
circumstances. and thus brave the wrath
of men who have been periling their lives
in defence of that Flag.
Such conduct, on the part Of soldiers,
while perfectly natural, is utterly upius.
tlfable, but We have little sympathy for
those who wantonly aud persistently rur-
sue course calculated TO invite violence.
