there is some unproductive real estate,
Of which the committee have taken no
account They have good reason to be-
leTe she also received no inconsiderable
anneunt of clothing, plate, household
ge6ds, &c., after the death of Mr.. Lin
coin, which, in considering her pecuni-
a.y condition, should be added to the
above mentioned sum. Subscriptions
were opened for Mrs. Lincoln, but
the Committee is not informed what
amount has been realized. Mrs. Lin
coin does not seem to urge her claim
entirely on the ground of actul wants
Of comforts of life. In her petition
transmitted from Frankfort praying for
q pension, she has been advised to try
the mineral waters during the Summer,
and then togo to Italy, "but my financial
means do not permit me to take advan-
tage of the urgent advice given me, nor
can | live in style becoming the widow
Of the Chief Magistrate of great ma
ton, though live as economical as |
can" The committee say, from the
stand-pointof a European kingdom and
European society this very probably is
correct; but in a republican country,
where there is no distinction ofrank, and
where all duties are measured largely by
the means of performance, the Com
mittee think a fortune of 100000, or
even one-third of that sum, for lady,
must take her out of the category of
those whose necessities, in consequence
of the casualties of public service, give
them a claim upon the Treasury. After
other arguments the committee con-
clude by saving: Under the circum-
stances of the case, they do not think
that either sentiment or duty requires a
further provision in accordance with the
request of Mrs. Lincoln, and therefore
recommend that the bill be indefinitely
postponed.
The report is signed by Senators Ed
munds, Upton, Pratt, Spencer, Howell
and McCreery.

THE CROP PROSPECT.

The Greenville, Mercer county, Argls
says The spring has been remarka-
bly, fine, and at least two weeks earlier
than in any preceding year since 1860.
A few days s'more of such weather as we
have had during the past week will
bring the fruit trees out in full bloom
The indications are that we will have
an abundance of fruit. In some town
ships where the land is rlling the appear
ance of the wheat fields is encouraging,
but generally throughout the country
the wheat was seriously injured during
the winter and the probability is that,
on the whole, the crop will be light.
The current monthly meeting of the
Lancaster Horticultural and Agricul-
tural Society was held on Monday last
The reports from the different sections
of the county were highly fiattering and
everything gives promise of an abun-
dant fruit, grain and grass crop.
The Belmont, Ohio, Chronicle says ::
The cherry bloom is very abundant, the
peach bloom indicates very fair crop,
the. pear crop will be quite light, and
the apple bloom will not be very pro-
life one This is the result Of our OBJ
servation and inquiry as to the fruit
prospect in the neighborhood
The Wellsville, Ohio, Union says:
The prospect for a fine fruit crop in this
section of country, for all kinds of
fruit is at this time very promising. If
there are no late killing frosts' we
shall be favored with a fruit year of
unusual abundance

MRS. LINCOLN.S PENSION.

ADVERSE REPORT Oh inc ScHHtc SOiu-
mittee-An Inventory Of Mrs. Lin
coins EHects-HOw the widow of
Republican President Should
Live.
The Senate committee on Pensions,
to whom was referred the House bill
granting pension of $4,000 a year TO
Mrs. Lincoln, made an adverse report on
the bill
The committee say, in their report,
that. although by the Constitution of
the United States, the Presidents made
Commander-in-Chief of the army and
navy. he is civil and not a military
officer. The death OF President Lin
coin occurred while he was engaged in
buiness Of civil life. There was no
principle on which pensions had hithe
to been granted in this country which
would warrant the passing of this bill.
No Provision of this nature has ever
been made for the widows of families of
anv one of the Presidents or other civil
officers of the United States, although
many of them, like Mr. Lincoln rendere
ed most exalted service to the country !;
and two of the Presidents died while in
office, and the families Of some of them
were left in very slender pecuniary cir
cumstances. There is nothing, so far,
to distinguish this case from that of a
great body of the civil officers Of the
Government, who, of all grades, from
the highest to the lowest, OF civil Of
ficers, from the earliest period, have lost
their lives while in the performance of
public duties. and have left behind them
widows and orphans in bereavement,
aggravated by poverty and want 1t
has not been advisable in free country
to provide permanent emoluments in
favor of the families Of high officials OF
the State as in European countries; as
when eminent officers end their official
term they become equal, but not superi-
or members of society. The commit
tee are constrained to find, from the
facts before them, that Mrs Lincoln is
not in fact in the destitute condition
which has been represented, and that
her means must be reasonably sufficient
to the just necessity of citizen of the
United States, either athome or abroad.
A recapitulation of her assets show that
the balance of salary for her husband s
unexpired year was 1900, and that
on the 18th of September, 1867, she re-
ceived as her share of the personal estate
of President Lincoln, $36, 1850, (the
same sum being also given to her minor
son Thomas,) making her total cash
assets SIS, 1850, in addition to which
