One OF Mr.. LTNcoLN'S JOKES. 1t is sell
dom that Mr.. Lincol's jokes are fit for
publication, but Blackwood'S Magazine
publishes the following characteristic sto-
ry purportng to be original with Mr. Lin
coin /:
1T appears that before Virginia secc-
fed, committee Of gentlemen waited
upon Lincoln to see if something could
not be done to avoid the impending catas-
trophe-it was just after the taking Of
Fort Sumter, and Lincoln's having called
out $4,000 men to coerce the South. -
But what would you have me do p said
Mr. Lincoln. Mr.. President, replied one
of the deputaGon, 4 would be you TO
lend me your finger and thumb for five
minutes, meaning, of course, that he wish
ed him to write something that should
allay the prevailing excitement. But Mr..
Lincoln did not choose to understand him.
My finger and thumb!' he repeated
my finger and thumb! What would YOU
do with them? Blow your nose:' The
deputation retired inrliSgust, and Virginia

FAMILY FIGHT.-An election was held
in Sacramento on Tuesday last, for city
officers, and it was simply contest for
the spoils between the two wings of the
Abolition faction-the Short Hairs under
the lead Of the Pacific Railroad Company.
Gov. Low, B. B. Redding and Bill Hunt,
and the Long Hairs under the lead of the
Union. Sacramento is the hot bed of
rowdyism and AboIitiOnism, and Of course
the Democracy are in hopeless minori-
ty. They held no convention, presented,
no candidates~and took no part in the
election. Power, patronage and unscrup-
nIousDeSS were on the side. Of the SSIc>ss
Hairs, principle and responsibility on the
side of the Long Hairs. The contest was
unequal in party composed of renegades
and adventures, and the Dutch Flat
swindle triumpbed. The Union says the
respectable portion Of the citizens were
on its side; if this be so, and we have no
reason to doubt it, it only proves how lit.
tie influence respectable men have in the
Abolition party. This election shows the
superior organization and tact of the
Short Hairs-shows how easy it is for an
unprincipled minority, united and active
and devoted to their chief, to defeat the
majority, and indicates by whom the Alb
clifton State Convention will be controlled
The Long Hairs, very imprudently, trust
to numbers and principle to carry item
through; the Short HARRISON the contrary,
to management and money; and money
with such party is all powerful. 1t
will be one.sided affair, if the Long
Hairs do not act more unitedly and ener-
getically. They have had,warning. Will

NEW ENGLAND AND THE DEBT.-The
Boston Traveller says that Of the interest
due January LIST, on the public debt, pay
able in Boston, there has already been
paid out 100000 in gold, part of the
payments having been anticipated, and
there yet remains several hundred thou
sand dollars to be paid. This represents
not far from 100000 of the national
debt, by far the largest part Of which is
held in Boston, and the balance in Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire, etc.
The above is a very pregnant para
graph. 1t is stuffed with food for retlec-
ton. II is the bird that lays the golden
egg-lays it for the manufacturers, con
tractors, spectators and money changers
Of New England and the seaboard, who
are urging on the war and making fortunes
out OF 1t; but not for you, or the great
million. No, your business is to gather
the crumbs that go to feed the gallina-
ceous fowl. The "patriots" who hold
the bird invest their millions in interest
bearing bonds payable in gold coin and
exempt from taxation! One puts his half
million in such security, and on this he
draws an interest equal to seventy five
/ thousand dollars in currency and pays not
one cent Of tribute to the Federal Golfer :;
! while the poor clerk or mechanic who
manages to gather by years hard toll
and industry, say $780, is taxed $40
! thereon for 1864, Sl20! This is radical
tnanciering, and when the masses Of the
people the laboring and producing mass.
| pS IL no are made 10 woIk that the war for
the negro may go on Unfortunately, and
that these exempt patriots who lend
the Government at the extraordinary low
rate of fifteen per cent. may amass for
:unes, come to fully realize the situation
Of affairs if they ever do, it is barely pos
sibe that there will be as general desire
to be excused from. as the philosopher Of
the Tribune says there is now a wish to
be burdened with taxation. / National In

GENERAL Aw.-This hero, says the
San Francisco News Letter. was once AL
calde in San Francisco. The extra loyal
press is delighted that he has compelled a
young lady to march up and down under
tho "Old Flag" Tor one hour-her offence
being that she stepped off the sidewalk to
avoid walking under it-a flag that the
Southern people have so much reason to
love and respect. We are quite surprised
that he did not strip her naked, and make
a drummer whip her through the streets.
Had he applied the cat to the Savannah
Belle" the loyal press would have been in
ecstaSies. Brute Butler, the thief, must
look to his laurels!

several patriotic songs quite creditably,
and finally the school marms favorite-

first verse-'John Browns body lies moul-

to have forgotten the commencement Of

The teacher shamed them, and requested

A FREEDMAN.-Among the dodgers at
the Fifth Ward station house, last night,
was an old negro, about sixty years of
age. He was crippled, broken down with
age had no home. During the day, as
We learned from himself, he begged his
meals, and at ni.ht pitched for the near
est station house. This course of living
he had INDUCED in for nearly ten months
He was formerly a slave in Virginia, and,
as he stated, had kind and indulgent
master. He was liberated by our troops,
sent to Washington, and from thence
shipped to Philadelphia, where he has
since remained almost in a state of star
vation. He claims that he never had any
desire TO come North, but was deceived
by those who sent him here. He wants
to 60 "home" again, as he terms it, as he
feels that he is in a strange and cold land,
without friends or protection. He has
been in the Aims house once or twice, and
committed to prison as vagrant quite as
often. This is not the only instance where
the freedmen OF the South have been sent
North to starve and to ill our lms-houses
and prisons. -[Philadelphia Age.
