The Marriage OF Bob Lincoln to Miss
Harlan.
The fashionable bellies and beaux have !
been all in hutter for some weeks past
in anticipation of the marriage of Capt.
Robert S. Lincoln, son of the late presi-
dent, with Miss Mary Harlan, daughter
of Senator Harlan. How the bride was
to be dressed, and how "Bob'' would
look, were matters of allimportant in
terest to the many divinities in this
vicinity, who, for the time being, had
nothing else to think of or gossip about.
At the curiosity of the ladies and the
wonders of the men have been gratified.
the nuptials ;took place last evening, at
eight o'clock, at the residence of the
brides father, No. 800 ii street, near
Seventeenth,
The cards had not been numerously
distributed, none but the immediate friends
of the senator's family, the relatives of
the happy couple, and a few officials being
chosen.
At half past seven o'clock the spacious
parlors of the mansion contained about
thirty persons, among whom were senator
and Mrs. Harlan: Mrs. Lincoln and little
Tad; Secretary McCulloch and lady
Secretary Welles and lady Mr.. Stanton,
son of the exsecretary of war; Rev. }.
Peyton Brown and family, and many
others.
Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist
Episcopal church, was there, attired in his
clerical robes, and, with his naturally aifa-
bic manner, was the means Of making the
select company quite social.
In short time the bride and groom
entered the front parlor, and there, with
no ustentation or display, the marriage
ceremony took place.
The bride was attired in beautiful
white satin dress, with hair adorned with
whit. rose, flowing bridal veil adding
much to the natural simplicity and good
taste of the tout ensemble.
Capt Lincoln was very properly attred
in suit of black broadcloth, with q
solitaire adjoining his necktie, and white
gloves completing the toilet. The happy
young gentleman looked the very imper-
sonifcation of joy /; and, together with his
amiable and pretty bride, received the
congratulations of his relatives and friends
with becoming modesty.
After the marriage ceremonies were
concluded, the company enjoyed several
| hours pleasant converse, together with
refreshments and some excellent vocal
| music.
Mrs. Lincoln was attired in plain
black dress, and appeared evidently de-
lighted at the marriage of her son with SO
estimable a young lady. Mrs. Lincoln
purposes visiting Baltimore, and contem,
plates remaining there several weeks.
Robert Lincoln and bride, az comranied
by the bridesmaids, Mr.. Stanton, son OF
the ex-secretary, and Mr.. Edgar Wells,
left this city in the half past twelve O'Clock
train for New York. Mrs. Lincoln, the
mother Of the groom, left with the party
The letter of Sherman to the managers
of the convention in Philadelphia is fal
from being what the radical gentlem r
hoped it might be. He avows only his
confidence in Grant, but does not say 6
support the radical candidate for the pres
dency. lie pointedly says that he has toe
much to do in his ''preper. legitimate
business to attend the convention. Wha
he means by this is, that his ideas of thu
duty of soldier do not permit him to bt
soldier and politician at the same moment
He cannot at once fight Indians aao
electoneer for Grant, even to accommodate
his general in chief The logical conclu
sion Of this assertion is, that Sherman does
not believe that man can at once be {
soldier and a candidate for the presidency
His letter, leaving out the commonplaces
means that, if Grant was attending to his
1 ''own proper and legitimate business" ht
would not be running for president rs thu
instrument of radical politicians.
Radical conventions will never succeed
in extracting a very large amount OF sole
comfort from Sherman. His kicking on
of his lines the Massachusetts, radicals who
were trying to fill the quota of their loya
state by inveigling contrabands into max
inc their mark on the enlstmenJ-ro.ls
proves that he has no respect whateve
either for Puritauism or the Dc crime tina

terms with Joe Johnston further prov
that he possesses not Il particle of til
malice and hatred that form an essentia
. constituent of the radical character. Iii
hatred Of Stanton is a further evidence @
r his lack of sympathy with the scalawag
who are pretendediy running the govern
ment in the interests ofGod and humanity
And, finally, Sherman is no radical, i
that he never stole spoons never let ii
c father into contract for stealing cotton
e never waged war to free negroes or
get himself into Office and in fine, b.
- cause he knows, and has frcquentl
t avowed, that radical rule is doing mol

Sherman will give Grant only qud

e cannot take grounds against Grant even
e he wished to. He knows very well tn
10 tbreefourths of Grants success as

= He knows Grant; and will therefore q
