The negro conventions Of the South, led
by white schemers from the North, are
likely to add much to public disgust, and
il is not improbable that the "colored citi-

But our article is growing much like
modern sermon, viz: the speech is any
thing but an elimination Of the text. We
started with "Ren Wade &C." The read
er will please to consider this introduction
the "<Sc." and let it 90 for its worth.
The correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, moderate, saucy, readable
Republican paper, has bad an interview
with Senator Wade, at, or near, his resi-
drnce in Ohio. He writes an interesting
letter about his aversion to the Presiden-
tial nomination, though he insists Ohio
should demand it with united front re-
eoxsaaends Chase, but he is ready to wear
the honor if forced upon himself! He
says Gen. Butler and Wade, after Andy's
inaMyur., were sent for by the Tennessee
Tailor, for counsel. The result of the CON-
ference was that several prominent rebels
should be tried and hung Immediately, if
mot sooner, to allay the demand for blood
on the part Of the SUPERFICIAL.
The next point in conversation with
Wade was relative to Mrs. Lincoln her
demands her offer to sell dresses and fe-
male rigging generally, to relieve her dis
Hrcsses. We reprint this part of the Com
.nas,eiaTs letter. Isn't it strange that a
party, so boastful Of purity, should wit
ness tho corruption which Mrs. Lincoln
seems to have INDUCED in to obligc place
seekers, and yet said nothing of it to the
world? Isn't it still stranger, that Presi-
dent Lincoln should look idly on, and see
the filth Of his own household, without a
stopperf Mrs. Lincoln lie woman. AS
such, every son Of mother ought to res
peet her but Mrs. Surratt was also wo-
snan !! She was hung for giving lodgings to
Booth There was no proof" Gen'l
Ben. f.. Butler says, "of her completely in
the assassination Of Mr.. Lincoln" and
Gen. Butler denounces the act Of hanging
her as - Murder r. Mrs. Lincoln, in pub
lie, robbed the White House of its furni-
ture sold "places'' for jeweiry, dresses
and shawls Mrs. Surratt, for being sus-
pected Of desire to see the President de-
posed, was dangled on gallowsi Read

Mar. MISUNDERSTANDING our converse
ton, the subject of Mrs. Lincoln and her
recent disgraceful conduct came up, and,
remembering that Mr.. Wade was one of
committee appointed by the two houses to
investigate the pecuniary condition in
which Mrs. Lincoln's family was left, and
report bill for their relief asked him
if it was true as stated by Mrs. Lincoln,
that Mr.. Lincoln left little or no property
behind him. "No," said he, sits id
lie. We looked into that matter carefully.
The Illinois men wanted US to give her
500, 900, and we agreed to do so, if it APP
peared that she really needed it. We sent
for the administrator of the estate, and he
testified that Mr.. Lincoln left $751; 900 in
govcrnment- bonds something like that
besides some little productive property in
Springfield; in all about .$l0O,OOO. We
thought, then, that S25, 900 would be quite
cnough-the same as was paid to the wild
ow of Gen. Harrison. Mrs. Lincoln was
very well Of, and didn't need what she
got. She took \ hundred boxes Of some
thing or other-I don't know what-away
with her, and the commissioner of the pub
lie buildings swore that there were fifteen
other boxes that she wanted to carry Of,
and he had to interfere to prevent her
