WASHINGTON, May 4.-Mr. Don
nelly, in his inyective against L. B.
Washburne. says; eff there be in
our midst one low, lsordid, vulgar
soul, one barren mediocre intelli-
gence, one heart callous to every
kindly sentiment and to every gene
rous emotion, one tongue Ieprous
with SANDER, one mouth which is
like unto q den of foul beasts, giving
forth deadly odors; if there be here
one character which, while blotched
and spotted, yet raves md rants and
blackguards; if there be here one
bold, bad, empty believing dema-
gogue, it is the gentleman from Illi-
nois."
In the House, committee of seven

A SENSATION Book ON Mrs. LIN
coLN.-Elizabeth Keckley, "thirty
years slave and five years n,odisie
and friend to Mrs. Abraham Lincoln -
has written, or had written for her, o
book, purporting to give many of
tho scenes and conversations at the
White House, which transpired with
IN her view and hearing. Much of
the book is trash, all of it is gossip.
but some of the political personali.
ties and opinions of Mrs. Lincoln
may not be uninteresting. She is
represented to have been very bitter
against Mr.. Chase, chasing him as a
selfish politician, instead of a patriot,
and warming Mr.. Lincoln not to trust
him too far, which advice her hus-
band playfully turned away and dis
regarded. On Mr.. Seward she was
especially severe, and rarely lost an
opportunity'to say an unkind word
against him. Mrs. Lincoln, it would
seem, was like very many other peo.
pie III one particular, at least, and
that was. in priding herself on her
ability to read human character and
to command armies. She always de-
clared Gen. Grant to be a great
"bother," and said he was not fit to
be at the head of an army. When
her husband instanced Gen. Grants
successes, she replied:
Eyes, lie generally manages to
claim O victory, bnt such u victory!
He loses two men to the enemy's one.
lie has no management, no regard
for life. If the war should continue
four years longer, and he should re-
main in power, he would depopulate
, the North. I could fight an army as
well myself"
She is also reported to have de-
clared that if Grant should ever be
elected President of the United
States, she would desire to leave the
country and remain absent durine
his term of Office. The reputed ex.
travagance of Mrs. Lincoln in "fne-
~" is reiterated, and her anxiety for
her husbands reelection is repre-
sented as chiefly growing out of a
desire for means to meet her large
debts.

AN ASSASSINATION BY NEGROES.
An UiknOwn White Man The Victim.

AT the northern corner of Triton Walk and
Dryades street, stands two-ssory frame building
surrounded by a broad gallery above, occupied
on the lower floor as a negro club room. and
above as dwelling. The place has been long
known as resort OF negroes, and it was at this
point that on Saturday midnight a ,olored man
was seen loading musket in the street.
Last night shortly after ten o'clocS "a the In.
nocents Democratic club were marching up Dry.
AIDES street, they passed this place. The head Of
their column had crossed .Delord street and was
continuing on up Drysdes. when shot Yves irsd.
One account, given our reporter By an ictoIligent
little miss who saw the affair, states that a negro
stood in the middle OF Triton Walk, and ieiiser
ately fred into the fElocents twice. The srst saot
che says was not returned; at the second the In
nocen's returned the fire, and az the same time
firing was begun froz, tae gallery of the house by
the negroes, Another account states that she
first firing came from the gallery. At all e,ents.
the attack being made upon them, the Inn &c nss
stood baveiy and returned the fire until it ceased
and then resumed their march in good order. fbe
body OF en- unkn0wn white man, apparently q
Spsniaro, was found lying on the ground dead.
shot through the head, and with terrible cats
about the neck. II was lying on the grass upor,
TIE neutral ground at midnight, but had not been
identified.
Meanwhile de- 'achment Of infsntrv arrived in
haste, and guards having been posted, the pre.ni.
ses were searched. This was matter of no little
fficulty, the rear of the house opening upon o
perfect labyrinth OF passages and alley ways, 10
find his way out from which the officer who
entered was obliged to knock down the ferce
boards ard take straight course to the street.
Five or six negroes were arrested ia the bulng
all OF them scared terribly, ana one conceae ed
under msttTass. When we left the spot, at half
past eleven, the military guards still posted,
and the search for the occupants was still going
on. Those arrested were kept in charge under
proper guard.

AAUsEM ENTs,

VARIETIEs.-Those who inclined to theatrical
entertainments last evening found the Varieties
remarkably well attended, when considering toe
existing condition of affairs in the city. The
managers OF places of amusement are inevitably
sufferers by disturbed state of public affairs,
especially when, as was the case with Maoager
Floyd last evening, they bring ou. new piece,
with lew costumes, new scenery, new every
thing. Boucicaults comedy OF "Love aud
Money! was never played here before, bat
thester goeIs had heard of it, and hence, we
imagine, the comparatively large attendance. 1t
was but brief glimpse we were afforded of the
performance. We saw Miss Gray as a very
charming Helen Pldntdgenet, discussing some
mooted point very eagerly with quite foppish
looking gentleman named Sykes Mr.. Rilton,)
and were beginning already to watch for the
end with interest, when of a sudden there came
cheers and the "tramp, tramp, trampn of
huT dreds of feet outside, and away from our ad
mi i & sion went Live and Money! Bot the
piece will be repeated this evening, and will, we
trust, meet with an ample patronage.
ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The prevalent excitement
produced its effect here also last night, render.
ing the attendance exceedingly slim. etill, the
performances went off with their usual eclat and
Jennie Ergel sang none the less sweety and Pet.
tingill was none the less humorous than ever.
And the occasion was graced, too, by the prod1c-
tion of a new ballet by the magnificent Zollossy.
entitled the Slave Market of Constantinople, -
in which the agile Sohke, with her companions,
Bertha, Cheribelli and Evers achieved terpsi.
chorean wonders. The ballet, and fine olio per.
formance. concluding with The Irish Lion,n ia
which Csvanaugh does Tim Moore to perfection,
will be offered this evening.

his departure he left his ranch in charge of his
wife. who generally looked after the interests of
her husband during his absence. Shortly after
being left alone she learned that some parties
were making preparations TO Jump" an sdjoin-
ing quarter section claimed by her husband. but
which had not been improved as the law directs
pre.emptors to do in order to hold real estate.
The energetic woman rose early in the morning.

on the disputed territory, moved her furniture into
the new house. and took up her abode in it (al 10
one day,) and held the claim in triumph until the
return of her unsuspecting partner.
