SUBSISTENCE OF Mrs. LRcoLN.-A Washington
special Of the l4th 10 the New York World says :
The Senate committee on pensions have before
them again, in a new form, the periodical problem
Of the subsistence Of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln Sen.
stor Morton has put in a bill to pay this lady a
pension during her natural life, recitng that her
husband was killed by an enemy Of the United
States while discbsrging his functions as com.
Iderincbief of the army and navy. Mr.. Sum
ner suggested that the sum be put at $4,000 year,
ard the figures we're accepted by Mr.. Morton.
Mrs. Lncoin's income from the residue of the
SIS coo voted her by Congress is 81, US As year.
and on that sum she has sought the s0uth of
France. where living is cheap, and is keeping in
strict ana very humble retirement. This bill of
Mr.. MOrtons is the first reaction of the singular
intelligence that Mrs. Lincoln was reduced 10 the
necessity Of selling her wardrobe. The whereases
by which Mr.. Morton makes her ont as the widow
OF a military man killed IN the war will rot be
keenly questioned by Congress, as disposition
exists 10 ObIiteraie the scandal of her poverty by
believing it, The passage Of the bill IS probable,
unless some senator mOrbidly fearful OF skug
it precedent, opposes 1t and brings on debate,
which the proposition canDot bear.

In the United States we see the influence of
MOI ey in its worst ana most unblushing form.
o: all the dangers TO which the great democracy
is exposed, none Is so conspicuous, aud none SO
generally recognized by all thinking men, as
the danger of downright pecuniary corruption.
An effort is being made in England to bring to
justice men who are accused, rightly or wrongly,
of having dCfIauded the shareholders OF great
financial company. Whatever the result, no
one doubts that the case will be fully investi-
gated and that the judges will do their duty
without tear or favor. But in New York the
leaders OF commerce appear to be above the
law. They use their power without restraint or
concealment for transactions in shares which
fairly astonish the enterprslng British hnancier;
and when an appeal is made to the law in
CONSEQUENCE of q quarrel between the con-
spiratoTs, it turns out that each OF them has Il

so demoralizpg to the public mind us the whole
course of the rival manipulators OF the great
Erie Railroad. Money has doubtless great
influence upon the British Parliament, bat at
least it does not influence members In the re-
pulsive form of direct bribery. The taxation OF
the country is doubtless determined in great
measure by rich men; but at least we are not
told here that more than half the revenue
escapes through mysterious leaks between tne
contributor and the national eXchequer, and we
are entirely free from such mysterious but pow
eriul agencies as the notorious "Whlsky ring
