THE E.incoIrI Scandal.

The facts are Just these Judge Davis,
Lncoin's administrator, reported that the
estate was worth $4,000. Congress gave
Mrs. Lincoln the Presidents uncxpircd
years salary, and also gave her SO, 900
besides, the same as was allowed the late
Mrs. General Harrison. Congressman
Wentworth pressed Mrs. Liucon'S claim
for 100000, but Congress did not think
such gift iuStiiiab!c There arc other
facts that should see the light, and per-
haps would explain Mrs. Lincoln's present
Struigttcncd circumstances. Among such
facts is this, that bill for some $l5,00o
for icwclry purchased by Mrs. Lincoln
was presented to Congress and disallowcd,
and the secrets Of that committee could
divugc most remarkable items that,
through Mrs. Lincoln, were presented for
payment. We hope these things will all
be made public, and that ii also may be
known what the forty huge boxes sent 10
Chicago from the White House, after the
death of Mr.. Lincoln, contained. Let the
country know the fact that it required an
appropriation Of 100000 t. make good
the Spolia!ion at the White House, and
let it be proved who bad the benefit Of
such plundcring. Cicreimd Herold.

a CORREcTroS.-There is white ma
jority Of some sixty, we learn, in the
county Of Nelson, and as the tables assign
Nelson to the blacks, estimating the cleo
ton districts on the basis Of color, the
proper result is fifty-cight black districts
to forty-scvcn white, instead of Afty-nne
to torty-six, as stated in the Richmond
papers.
1t will be observed also that in the
forty-sevcn districts thus assigned to the
whites there are only five (returning six
delegatcsl about which there be am dobt,
because in forty-two Of them the white
majority is very heavy.
On the other hand there are eight CO.
lored districts returning nine dclcgates)
in which the majority ranges from six to
143.

clamatiou Of the President of the United

PROCEEDINGS TAEEN AGAINST Two OF
TENToT'S LOYAL Bounty AGENTs.-An
officer OF the Government is about to pro-
coed to South Carolina to institute legal
proceedings in the United States District
Court against two New York eX-Statc
agents, Constance Cook and a man named
Sherwood, OF Stcubcn county, who were
commissioned BY Governor Fenton during
the war 10 recruit negroes to fill the quota
Of that county. 1t appears that these par
ties never paid over to tho negroes all Of
the State bountics when they were enlist
ed, but are alleged to have pocketed
about $500, 300 OF the amount, which they
drew on an affidavit at Albany that the
bounty had been advanced by them to the
enlisted men. The act Of 1863 makes this
a felony, and the district attorney at
Charleston is ready to proceed with the
irdictmcnt, the fraud on the men having
been committed in that district. Two
officers Of the Government have been
working up the evidence since February
last, and are now ready to proceed with
the cases. Washington dispatch to the
