ABRAHAM LINcoLN.--The inven.
tory which has been published of
Mr.. Lincoln's esate at the time OF
his death, discloscs the fact that
nearly all he had was invested in
Government securities. His inter-
est was thus voluntarily and deli
berately identified with that of his
country. All the property he had,
all salaries received during Office,
above his current expenditures,
were loaned to the Government,
and staked upon its success. No
more conclusive evidence Of his
single.hearted and guileless devo-
ton to his country could be adduc-
cd than this simple fact. How
honorably it contrasts with the re-
cords of those men, who, under
false and hollow professions for the
Constitution, decried the Govern
ment credit, refused to advance it
money, discouraged others from do
ing so, and directed their invest
ments in such way as to reflect
on the soundness and honesty OF
the National Government,
