A sIander Refuted.

The Wilkes Booth organ in New York
city, the World, has been laboring for the
last fortnight, with spirit worthy OF the
assassin of President Lincoln, to traduce
his widow. 1t has charged again and
again, by implication and insinuation, that
the wife of the martyred President had
deliberately robbed the White House. 1t
talks about Mrs. Lincoln as the" bereaved
beneficiary and speaks sneeringly of her
mot slways) winning ways" 1t charges
that q for the one hundred thousand dol
lars appropriated in the last four years for
the White House, there is now actually
nothing to show on the premises" it
wants to know what was in Gthe ninety
boxes" that were taken by Mrs. Lincoln
from Washington; it declares that " the
$1,000 lately appropriated to furnish
the Executive Mansion will nearly all be
absorbed by the creditors of the persons
who Occupied that house ten months ago.
And thus it has incessantly maligned and
blackened the reputation not only OF the
family of our dead President, but his own
spotless character.
We lack words to denounce this in
famous series of lies as it should be de-
nounced. The utter meanness Of thil
attack upon the character of defenceles
woman, mourning in solitude the terribl
bereavement which at once deprived
her Of husband, and the natiol
of a = venersted ruler, is Onl.
| esualled by its utter groundlessness an'
.falsity. Language cannot express tn
disgust which such inefable cowardice an
villainy excite. The journal which vii
condescend for party purposes to the US

ought to be suppressed for its libels. w
need not say that the charges thus mad
are utterly grOundless. They have bee

For MANY wears we have lived in the
belief that that ancient Boanerges of Ohio
Democracy, William Allen, had departed
TO another and better world, but it seems
that we were deluded by appearances.
He was merely alternating, and has just
turned ND again in full vigor at Columbus,
where the old fogies of Ohio have been
holding q sort of resurrection meeting on
the anniversary of Andrew Jackson's
great battle On this occasion Mr.. Allen
appeared like Rip Van Winkle, with
long speech on Roman history, and especi-
aliy on the incidents of the warfare be-
tween Caius Marius and Lucius Cornelius
Sulla. which ended in the emigration of
the former to the ruins of Carthage. We
have not room to copy the whole Of this
powerful antiquarian discourse, but the
following passage is too gorgeous to be
withheld from our readers:
"Sometimes the perturbations Of the air
swell into a terrific storm the waters Of
the great deep are violently rolled'up into
mountainous ridges; the quick lightning
flashes forth from the bosom of the mean
dering cloud, and the prolonged reverbera-
| tion Of the lurid sky, to the uninstructed
observer, seems to portend the dissolution
| of nature. But the philosopher looks upon
the scene without any such apprehension /;
he knows that the all-embracing and ever
acting principle of gravitation will ere
long silence these warning elements, and
bring back every particle Of the displaced
waters to the old oceans normal level"
We think every doubter will now be
convinced that thisis the genuine original
No other philosopher could ever have dis
covered that the principle Of grsvitation
controls both the quick lightning flashing
forth from the dark bosom Of the meander
ing cloud, and the Prolon yed reverberatior
of the lurid sky; and certainly none bu
he could have expressed that great TRUTH il
such splendid language. We are rathe
startled by learning, further on in Allen
speech, that dreadful ruin still hangs owe
the country because little knot of insan
fanatics are trying to expel eight radian
States from the Union " but our alarm j
assuaged by recalling his great prineiPl
of gravitation, and the certainty that

V0orhees Makes a Set Speech and En-,
Foot sticks Out-BInghsm's Reply
Knocks him and his speech into ri
Both Houses at Work.


WASHINGTON, January IL, 1866.
An effort is being made by the insignif-
cant remnant of the Copperhead party
now in Congress to appropriate the Presi-
dent to their own use; hence on Tuesday
voorhees, of Indiana, the High Priest of
Copuerheadism in the West, called up his
resolutions endorsing the Presidents policy
and made a set speech in their favor, Ia
which he took particular pains to compli-
ment the Chief Magistrate, and to separ-
ate him from the great Union party
which elected him and has all along sus-
tanned him.
Judge Bingham obtained the floor i'm
mediately after the conclusion of this
coquettish speech, and with much force
and eloquence portrayed the objects OF
these newborn converts, who have been
all aglow recently with admiration of the
President and his policy. Mr.. Bingham
demonstrated that the difference between
the President and the majority in Congress
WAS more in words than in substance. He
repealed every intimation that the Repre-
sentatives here have manifested the slight
est disposition to interfere with the just
prerogatives of the President, or to engage
in conflict with him. F..
The speech was listened to with great
interest and the speaker was obliged to use
his gravel with much force to silence the
outbursts of applause in the galiaries and
on the floor of the House. The carefully
prepared speech of voorhees, was SO
| thoroughly sifted by this off hand effort Of
| our noble Buckeye that there was not much
| left Of it or its author when the latter con-
cluded. Judge Bingham, as a ready, torci-
ble debator has no superior in the House
and but few equals, and what is more, his
heart and principles are right. he has hao
long experience as a member of Congress
and in no instance has he ever been known
to dodge an issue or fail to stand up fear
lessly and bravely for the right when i
was unpopular for him to do SO. He is NJ
trimmer or time server, but from the mrs
day that he took his seat in Congress be
