of Booths plans to obtain an entrance to

to be introduced to Booth, and by this
woman he would learn something of the

The Retains OF Mr. LINCOLN. The
Springfield (Illinois) correspondent
Of the Chicago Republican says
The Lincoln National Monument
Association held a meeting recently,
and General Oglesby said he had re- re.
ceiyed a letter from Mrs. Lincoln,
which he had not then with him, but
the substance Of which he gave as
follows: Mrs. Lincoln notified the
association, that unless the monument
were erected over the Presidents re-
mains at Oak Ridge and a deed
given to her and her descendants 81
the lot on which it, was to be placed,
she would accept a proposition for
the removal Of the remains to Wash.
ington. This letter, as may be sup
posed, caused a great sensation at
the meeting, and some Of the mem.
bers, including one Or two prominent
citizens, talked Of resigning theiil
trust. It is evident that majority
if NOT all the gentlemen forming, the
association will feel compelled to re
ject Mrs. Lincoln's proposition. They
are the repository Of a public trust
The money has been placed in theil
hands for public, not private pur
pose, and itwonld not be just to- The
public, or consistent with their self
respect that they would divert il
therefrom. In after years, by deatl
or otherwise, the property might fall
into the hands Of persons not only
inimical to the principles which Mr.
Lincoln advocated, but to those who
have been his friends and are now
those Of his family. In such an
event, what guaranty would the pub
lie have that this property would mo-
be- injured and even the remains
desccrated? I do not think it prob
able, or even possible, that the asso
citation can accede to Mrs. Lincoln
demands.
