MRS. LISCoLN's ESTATE.
From the New York Ex'

From the New 1ork Express
Mrs. Lincoln's outcry of "poverty" is not
well founded, aud cannot have much weight
with such as have the facts. According to
the statement of Mr.. Lincoln's executor, the
estate he left was worth from $4,000 to
100000. Mr.. Lincoln, as president, did
not himself spend, in his white house en-
penses, over $4,000 of his S25, 900 per an
mum. Congress provided him with fuel and
with ight-great bills in the white house
with his clerks, messengers, etc.-nay, for
almost all his bills except mere household
expense and the cost of feeding his horses
He had large garden worked by congress,
with all the luxuries of summer houses,
green houses, &C., &c. He entertained but
very little, and then without great expense.
And it is very certain. nay, demonstrated in
congress, that when Mrs. Lincoln left the
white house, so little was left in it that con-
gress forthwith made large appropriations
to make the house even habitable.
There were before the committee of ap-
preparations in congress many extraordinary
Developments, all of which were, by general
consent, suppressed, by the consent of the
democrats there, as we'll as by Thad Stevens,
the head of the committee, and suppressed
for the honor Of the country. All that need
be added here is, that there is no reason to
believe that Mrs. Lincoln had not enoug h
left her for any lady to live on, especially in
a state where living is as cheap as it is in
Illinois, comfortably and even elegantly.

there was vacancy for congress, the radi-

From the New \ ork w Grid Oct D.
The exclusive publication, in Thursdays
World, of Mrs Lincolns correspondence
with her agent in this city in regard to the
sale of her wardrobe, has created great
futter in circles fashionable as well as pc
ltical. Yesterday the rooms of Mr.. Brady,
SOC Broadway, were filled, nearly all day,
by ladies and gentlemen, who came to look
at the goods displayed for sale under such
unfortunate circumstances. The people
could hardly reconcile the improbable
accuracy of the World with such state of
facts, and hundreds came On a simple mis-
sion of inquiry to go away satisfied that
there was more truth than poetry in the
statement. During the day three United
States senators, whose names by request we
withhold, called to see Mr.. Brady, and on
Just sucl mission. A large number of let
tiers from all parts of the country have also
been received by Brady, asking to know the
truth, and making indignant protests against
permitting forced contamination of Mrs.
Lincoln's plans.
The sales yesterday did not exceed $3.50,
Notwithstanding the large number of ladies
that called. Many no doubt we're prompted
by curiosity, and after examining the goods
to their satisfaction, retired without purchas-
ing. Among those who called were the
wives and daughters of several prominent
merchants
AS previously announced, if the great
part of the inventory is not disposed of with
in few days they will be put up at auction,
and sold for what they will bring.

From the Chicago Journal (radicaD Oct. 8.
Regarding the Prevailing gossip in refer.
ence to the poverty of Mrs. Lincoln, we
have it from very authentic source that a
representative of his estate shortly after the
death of Mr.. Lincoln, found on deposit in
one of the departments in Washington the
sum of $75, 600 in government securities to
the credit of the ex-president. In addition to
this, congress voted to Mrs. Lincoln $25, o08
and when Mr.. Lincoln left Springfield fol
Washington, to enter upon the presidency,
ne informed his friends that his Springfield
property was at that time worth about $40,
600.

PRESENTS FOR POLITICAL FAvoRs.

From the New York Citizen.
The letters are all but a confession that
the political iavors and places obtained and
given away by Mrs. Lincoln's influence with
her husband were regarded by that lady in
the light of personal perquisites, to be dis
posed of either for presents or for fiattery,
as the within might s;eze her. She can now
only go one step farther. Let her take up
each present, state from whom received. and,
further, label it with memorandum of the
probable profits in place, or on some shoddy
contract, or permit to buy cotton, which the
presenter must have Melted. In this man
ner we think it might be found that the &C.
tual value returned by Mrs. Lincolns infu-
ence to gentleman who presented her with
carriage and pair of horses-certaiuly
not costing over two thousand dollars all
toid,-must have been in the vicinity of at
least four hundred thousand dollars, and
very likely similar exhibit might show that
every shawl and dress, and article of Jewell
ry IN her collection, must have been paid for
finally by the country at the same extrava-
giant rate.
RADICAL ASSAULTS UPON MRS. LINCOLN.
Washington (oct. a Dispatch to the Philade,-
phia Telegraph (radical.)
The disclosures concerning Mrs. Lincoln's
alleged restitution, and her efforts to sell
portions of her wardrobe, excite much com.
ment here, but do not surprise people, as
her extravaganza habits while at the white
house were matters of common notoriety but
how she has managed to squander the 49,
600 Given her by congress, in less than two
yeas, is mystery to many, who cannot
credit the statement. The interest alone of
this sum, if properly invested, would have
been sufficient to have supported her COM
lortably during her lifetime. 1t is known
that Mr.. Lincoln left nearly $4,000 to her
at his death, and the sale of his property in
Illinois after death brought considerable
sum of money.
New York (0ct. ~ Dispatch to the same paper.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND SHAMELESS.
The American people will blush scarlet in
reading an expose in the Herald, of this
morning, of the woman who, as unhappily
for his memory as for the country, was the
wife of the late President Lincoln-a mao
beloved and lamented for his virtues ar
his services.
We learned, several days since, that tie
presents which Mrs. Lincoln reveived-unde1
what circumstances we will not inquize-z
were with a broker in this city for sale.
Hoping that fact so Notifying would not
transpire, we were silent. 1t now seems
that she directed the broker, Mr.. Brady (who
we believe has acted in accordance with
his instructions, to have the proposed sale
largely advertised" That wish is "laree-
~ gratlhed in the shameful article we re-
fer to. lnasmuch, therefore, as Mrs. Lin

twice under assumed names, seeks notoriety,
