iEB- The Now York World has the
following curious paragraph "lt has
been currently reported in this city,
during the past few daye, that Mrs Abra-
ham Lincoln, wife of the late President,

name Of Mrs Clarke. Her visit to the

pose of disposing Of large guam

exhausted purse, her present income only
amounting to about $500. The articles
cost at least $1,000, but the Broadway
firm to whom they are consigned do not
expect to realize more than about $4,000,
which, invested in the State Of Illinois,
where Mrs. Lincoln now resides, will
yield her an additional income of 800
Conspicuous among these trappings late
OF semi'royalty are a set of fne Russian
sables, several lace and India shawls, a

a solitaire diamond ring. Mrs. Clarke,

gG Since, at this end of the line, we
have been surfeited with the hue and cry
about the lease Of the Memphis and Ohio
to the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
and the proposition to consolidate the
two roads, it is but just to hear the other
end in its turn. The Louisville Courier,
as the mouthpiece of the Louisville and
Nashville line, says
This stuff about the Louisville and
Nashville company discriminating
against other cities TO favor Louisville
trade, is the fgment OF a jealous imagi-
nation. IL is the same old cat and dog
disagreement which exists between ship.
pers aud carriers everywhere. The
Nashville merchants do not complain
oftener than those Of Louisville.
Somebody ia this city is always
dreaming that the road bills freight
through from Cincinnati 10 the South as
cheap as from Louisville. Against all
such complaints the fact stands out that
the road has been managed in tie inter
est Of the stockholders alone. Il has
stood on its own bottom; and, instead Of
going into partnership with any city on
its line, il has been declaring big divi-
dends, aud paying cities for their pat

HA. The Louisville Courier thinks the
Conservatives of Pennsylvania and Ohio
do not fully appreciate the Importance
of the forthcoming election in those
States. 1t says: They look upon the
canvass more as relating to local and
State issues than to the effect upon ma
tionsl questions, or as connected with
the struggle now going on for the recon.
struetion of the country, and that not
feeling any active interest in those issues
they may not make as vigorous and en-
ergetic efforts as they would make if
they believed that the result of the cleo
ton would exercise beneficial or per.
nicious effect upon national affairs
While we appreciate the Importance of
the forthcoming elections in their bear
ing upon national ahairs, we cannot see
that in either State, thus far, local issues
have been introduced which can leopard.
ize the cause Of Conservatism, while on
the other hand we have reason to think
the cause will be greatly benefited
thereby. So far as We have been able to

RG" Is the Radical party in peril in
Massachusetts The seeming absurdity
at frst thought of such question is,

term everything foreign to the negro-it
seems now to be struggling to counterfeit
the displeasure thus occasioned among
disaffected classes, by an extraordinarily
vigorous and Jealous conduct of the
campaign. How the antidote may work,
and whether constant dressing and sooth-
ing of the wound which its own hand has
inflicted will effect its cure, remains yet
TO be seen. Touching the subject ofdisaf-
fiction in the Radical ranks. a GORE
spoodent in the recent nominating
convention at Springfield writes the New
York Journal Of Commerce: THE
Convention took no affirmative position
in regard to the probibitory or license
question. but granted sort of plenary
indulgence to its members to vote as
they chose-one way or the other
without injuriously affecting their stand
ing in the party. The result is that the
election of members of the Legislature
will in every district in the State, turn
upoA these questions. Thousands OF
Republicans will join with the Demo-
Gratis to elect liberal men. This feeling
is working itself up to the State ticket,
and if the Democrats at their Conven-
ton on the LIST Of October, nominate
proper candidates, they will receive the
support of the liberal Republicans; per
haps enough to elect il"
We are not so enthusiastic upon the
reaction in the sentiments Of the North
ern masses as to have our equanimiiy
at all disturbed by this intimation ofthe
possibility of Radical defeat in the very
botbed from which it sprung, where it
was tenderly nuriured into existence,
and thence disseminated through every
vein and artery of the country. When
the "loyal" heart Of Massachusetts,

with IFS own offspring, then may we
nropounce Radiealism dead indeed, and
hail the dawn Of political millennium
as really upon us. We look for no such
things yet, and even in the event of its
occurrence should be half inclined to
think that we bad been laboring

requiring the assent of the Senate to the re-

had accepted the position of Secretary OF War
