Mrs. LincOln's Petition.

The application of Mrs. Lincoln
to Congress for pension, presents
Il very delicate and embarrassing
case. How to decide just what is
due to the memory Of one whom
every loyal American must ever re-
spect, AMI every lover of universal
freedom cherish and venerate, is a
point not so easily determined. If
five or ten thousand dollars Il year
were necessary in that direction, the
sentiment Of the country and the
duty of Congress would not be
doubtful. The name of Lincoln will
never. we trust, be permitted to suf-
fer from want of consideration on
the part OF the people who now and
ever will owe him so much.
But does respect for the memory
| of the lamented President call for
the appropriation sought in Mrs.
Lincoln's petition? That is the
question. Has her health been i'm
paired by the death of her husband,
and was the estate left her INSULT
cient, under prudent management,
to afford her reasonable support :?
The value of the means in the hands
of the administrator was cridibly re-
ported at 100000, the annual in
come of which should have been not
less than $4,000. Beside this, she
had no small amount of personal
property, not embraced in the in
ventory. 1t may be asked. Was
not this sum adequate to the needs
of a widow and two sons? What
more could she want for living eth
er in the United States or abroad :?
The petition sets forth promi-
nently that Mrs. Lincoln cannot,
with present meaus: ''live in a style
becoming the widow of the Chief
Magistrate of a great nation" That
raises a question not SO readily
settled. viz: What ''style'' would
'sbecome' one in her condition If
the income of her husbands estate
would not support her, what amount
wonld =? 1t is quite usual in public
questions to refer to precedent.
What have we in that direction
Two women before her-Mrs. Har-
rison and Mrs. Taylor-have lost
husbands during their service as
President. While the world has
known very little of the "style"
which they felt called upon to sustain
as ''widows of Chief Magistrates"
it is very clear that neither of them
| ever made their troubles in that
respect the ground for an applica-
ton for pension. Neither is it prob
able that either of them was with
one-fourth the means that Mrs.
Lincoln possessed5 on the contrary.
it is well understood that Mrs. Har-
rison, at least. had very little de.
ipendence of her own aside from the
fraction of the years salary Of her
husband voted her by Congress, as
was also done in Mrs. Lincoln's 8 case.

Carl Schurz on Suffrage.

In the course of an admirable
speach before joint session of the
General Assembly of Missouri,
subsequent to his election as Sena
tor, Carl Schurz defined his position
in regard to negro suffrage aud the
disfranchisement of rebels, as fol-
loves:
1t is not in consideration Of the
loyalty of the negro alone that we
strive to extend the right of suffrage
to the colored people. 1t is our
interest no less than theirs it is the
general interest Of society which
demands that the laboriEg man,
whatever his race or color, should
possess the political rights where
with to defend his freedom, indie
pendence and manhood, and that all
those stimulants of Improvement
should be furnished to him which
are calculated to raise him to the
highest measure of usefulness.
Thus we shall only be just to our
selves in being just to them.
To protect and seccre the free
developm ent Of the new order Of
things, it has been found necessary
to take away the power for mischief
from the hands Of those who during
the great national crisis stood up
against us as enemies to the good
cause. This was necessary, and,
therefore justifiable. A few days
ago l declared here ia your presence
as my obinion- which repeat nc W
only translatlng from the language
ofdcfence into that ofpositiEe asser
tion-that the act ofjustice to loyal
men stands first in rank, and that
acts of grace to our late enemies
are in order only as will be consist
ent with the loyal people; that I will
not consent to arm the. late rebels
with power in a manner which would
enable them to deprive loyal men of
their rights. By this declaration l
mean to stand. ........
/ On the other hand, I am sure /
express the feelings of the Radical
party of Missouri when | say-and
here again l am only simplifying
what stated few days ago-that
it is a sense of necessity and justice
which moves US, and not ranking
hate, desire of revenge. We do not
approve ofthat kind Of forgiveness
to the late enemies of the Republic
which consists in forgetfuluess ofits
|. friends; we mean to show that the
dark fanaticism which will neuef
forgive, issforeign to our hearts,
and that it is not our desire to i'm
prove and bring back to their duty
those who have gone astray. I
repeat again the words of General
Grant: I'VE can not go to them
they must come to us; but when
they do come as improved men, we
must not repel them More than
that We must invite and encourage
them to improve and come. r..

directly in contrast with that which
led to its expression by the Times
correspondent.
Sometime after the battle Of Pitts
burgh Landing, I had occasion to
visit the Office of the Secretary OF
! War, in Washington. Mr. Stanton
had an engagement with the Presi-
dent and could give nae but few mo-
ments. AS I rose to leave he asked ::
did you see anything of General
Grant whenat Pittsburgh Landing"'
replied in the negative. ''Dia you
hear any one say he was Intoxicated
during the battlc?'' l said No.
do not believe it; it could not have
been so, or would have heard it
from some of the wounded soldiers" "
Il do not believe it myself" said
the Secretary.
/ He then told mc that persistent
effort was being made to displacc
Grant. Not only was he charged
with intoxication at the battle, but
with being habitually intoxicated ;
.llt t!lISt CtiaI SSS "(lS stiIii uiSt stANi
denied by seemingly reliable per
sons. What is most extraordinary,
| (said Mr. Stanton, is, that con
rnittce Of most respectable gentlemen
! from Louisville, assert that Grant is
common drunkard, and they have
about persuaded the President to
supersede him. .Ihey shall not
succeed" concluded Mr.. Stanton in
a most emphatic manner. His inter
view with the President a few min
utes later settled the question for
! ever.
Every success of General Grant
since that time has suggested to my
mind the fact. that to the judgment
foresight and "back- bone" of Edwin
M. Stanton, the country is indebted
(under God for its greatest Gen
eral and renowned President elect.
