LlncOIn's Last Estimate OF Johnson

Three days before the murder Of
Mr.. Lincoln, he lad made arrange
ments for an afternoon ride with GER
tain members of his family, and the
hour Of two o'clock was fixed upon.
At that time, the President, not ap-
pearing, word was sent to him that the
party was waiting for him. He re-
turned an answer that the Vice Presi-
dent had called upon him, and that he
should not be able to go. Mr.. John
son remained about two hours, when
the President had Joined his family,
and In conversation regarding the de-
layed ride, remarked, with much ap-
parent concern: That miserable
man! 1 can not anticipate the trout Ie.
he mill cGuse me during my second FERN
of office.
Such were, with scarcely a doubt
the last words spoken by Mr. Lincolr
, concerning the present occupant of tn,
White House; and spoken, as the,
were. in the privacy of his own famii,
circle, they were doubtless the ful
and free expression of his real belief

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Anna Dickinson, and
all the other strong-minded women who hsve
manifested such admiration for the negroes.
We are anxious that the gathering shall be
large and formidable, and that in talent 1t
shall excel the present Congress. We are OPP
posed to universal negro suffrage; but we are
not sure that if all the parties enumerated at
tend they may mol present arguments that will
convince us that It is necessary for the safety
Of the country. We intend to give them the
benefit of full report Of their proceedings,
and help them along in this way as much as
possible. We are, therefore, anxious that the
attendance shall be large, and that oil the
leading minds Of both sexes in that party shall
be present Unless they are, the whole move
ment. we fear, will be failure. If party Is
to be organized, this is the most favorable time
for It II is quite certain that the present radi-
cal Congress will do nothing for them, and they
have got to rely upon their own moral strength
and influence at the polls. The old parties are
all demoralized, and the country Is up for any
new movement The only thing that is wanted
is to have it started right and in way that It
will impress itself upon the minds Of the peo-
pie. This can only be done by all the parties
named attending and assisting those from the
South whom Hamilton and his associates shall
prevail upon to present themselves On that
occasion.

COMMUNICATING TREASURY NOTEs-IMPORTANT
INVESTIGATION AND CURIOUS DEvELoPMENrs-
An investigation Of more than ordinary impor-
tance is now in progress before United States
Commissioner Osborn. The prisoner is accused
of having had in his possession, with intent to
utter the same, counterfeit one hundred dol
lar three year compound interest Treasury
note. The testimony thus far elected, II re
liable, discloses the existence Of most extra
ordinary state Of affairs in the printing or en-
craving bureau Of the United States Treasury
Department One witness, employed in the
plate printing department, testines that he was
approached in regard to taking Impressions
of the plates on lead and paper, and furnishing
them to outside parties. To ease the con-
science Of the witness it was urged that other
parties wore cheating the government, and he
might just as we'll have the benefit Of doing
the same. It appears that the impressions
we're delivered, the fraudulent printing plates
engraved, and a large issue of counterfeit
Treasury notes was the consequence. The in
vestigation thus far shows not only criminal
negligence on the part of the persons having in
charge the plate printing bureau, but also pre-
sents the case in an aspect seriously affecting
the moral character Of certain parties in and
out of the department A couple Of women,
one Of whom, at least, was employed in the
Treasury Department, are brought upon the
stand, and with great reluctance testify to the
criminality of the accused, their completely
with the parties, and the impurity Of their
social relations with them. The immoral
character Of some of the female employees in
the Treasury Department has heretofore been
Q subject of comment It has even been
asserted that If King David had had
Treasury printing bureau in his day il
would not have been necessary for him to have
sent Uriah to the front All these accusations
however, were considered mere inventions
and scandals, the offspring Of malice and envy.
But we have in the case before us substantial
evidence of different character. 1t is un-
pleasant to dwell upon tho social delinquencies
Of government officials; but, however disagree
able the task, the whole rottenness Of the
Treasury Department, from the thirty millions
discrepancy under ex-Secretary Chases sd-
ministration down to the stealing Of the i'm
prsssions Of the Treasury note plates Of the
government, and the circumstances attending
their transfer to gang Of counterfsiters, Is q
matter OF the utmost Importance, and should
not be passed over without . rigid Congress
sional investigation. 1t Is stated that these
alleged counterfeit plates are not Impressions
merely, but actually the original plates en-
graved for the Treasury Department II this
be true 50 much the more urgent is the neces-
sity for . thorough overhauling Of everything
connected with the management Of the depart
ment from the beginning Of the rebellion to
the present time.

that Is a defect that can be best tested ct the
mill wheHe the iron is manufactured or rolled.
There is where the inspection Of steam boilers
should practically begin; for, II the boiler iron
passes thorough inspection there, there is but
little danger 6 Its proving faulty after the
boiler is constructed and placed on steamboats,,
in manufactures, or in dangerous places in the
heart Of the city. We hope the cause OF the
Leonard street accident will be properly ex-
amined into, and il 1t proves to be the result Of
incompetency or carelessness, or from an orr
ginal defect in the boiler, let the fact be known
in order that similar occurrence may be pre-
vented In the future.
