Republican has been convicted of Ii
bel, and sentenced to one years i'm :
prisonment in the county Jail. His Of.

and seventy five thousand dollars.
He is radical and publishes radical

President Lincolns Law Partner.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune has been visiting, at Spring.
field, Illinois, Mr.. VIM. nERNDoN, (vho
was formerly for many years the law
partner of Mr.. LINooLND and. has So
licited from him and given to the world
batch Of sensation stories about the
late President, his youthful love af.
fairs, the habits, sayings and doings of
his later years, NC. These may all be
true as gospel-and most Of them seem
probable enoagh-yet we should have
to gulp very hard to get some of them
down. We extract from the CORES.
pondent's narration portion cmbod.
ying ono Of these, as follows:
The most remarkable episode of
Herndon's versation-which [ am
repeating by memory, only--relates to
Mr.. Lincolns Presidential aspratio
In common with most people, | had
concluded that this great honor came
to Mr.. Lincoln without paving, us un.
expected as it was unsolicited, and TO
him staggering piece of luek, like II
lottery prize. This estimate is charm.
ing one, but it is not true one.-
When tho Douglas and Lincoln contest
ended, tho defeated man said to his
partner:
"Billy, | knew I should miss the
place when / competed for it, This
defeat will make mo President"
Now whoever can believe the above
may do 80. We don't believe Il word
oft.
AS this correspondents account of
bis visit to Mr. Herndon is interesting
as whole, we may hereafter publish
it, that ourrcaders may have an op.
portunity ofjndging fer themselves as
10 the crodibilty of its statements.

Messrs, Hubbell, of Ohio, and Hawkins,
OF Tennessee, were the only Republi
cans who voted against it. The bill
then went to the Senate where it was
again debated and finally passed. The
most import INT feature OF the Senate

believed it was the best terms the
South could get.

lowing amendment to the amendment,
