who never win draw dollar from his
mothers purse, and the other lad Of
twelve or fourteen. An income of four
or five thousand dollars per annum should
enable Mrs. Lincoln and heI boy to live
not only comfortable, but in far better
circumstances than the majority of the
families of our ex-Presidents ever have
done, and to maintain properly her
social position either in this country or
Europe. Republican institutions do not
contemplate such provision for president
ial widows as shall allow them to keep
up the style of queen dowagers, and re-
spectacle support is all that should be ex-
pected, all certainly that should be given.
Even this is more than we have extended
to some of our retired chief magistrates,
and President Monroe, and we believe
one or two others, were leftto spend their
declining years and die in actual poverty.
Thousands of families, whose heads per-
ished on the field of battle, are now strug-
Cling vainly to obtain the commonest
necessaries of life, and yet Congress
does not feel justified in granting them
any further aid than beggarly pension.
Let there be no invidious distinctions in
this matter. The nation has done
enough, quite enough for Mrs. Lincoln.

WHEN the bill to adjourn the present
Congress on the 4th of July, was before
the Senate the other day, Mr.. Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, expressed the opinion
that Congress had better adjourn at once,
because he was sure the members could
do the country no harm at their homes,
but while they were in Washington there
was great danger. Simon's head is
leveln on that question.

SoME time since a negro man got on a
street car in Baltimore, but was forced to
ride en- the front platform. He brought
suit for damages, and the Judge decided
that the negro can demand of a railroad
as good accommodation as that allotted to
white passengers; but, this provided for
him, he has no right to insist on forcing
himself into car set apart for white
men

PRESIDENT JOHNSON arrived in Knox
vile wednesday. The Knoxville Wing
says;
e'Mr. johnson is one of the marked
men of the age. He is, emphatically, q
republican, not in its modern accepta-
ton, but in its original purity and sim
plicity. He is in sympathy, and has
always been, with the masses. More
than any living man in America, he has
comprehended their wants, and for forty
years has labored, assiduously, to pro-
mote their highest interests. 1t is mis-
fortune that he is not, to-day, in some po-
sition in which his great talents and his
broad patriotism might be made subser-

Col. ADAM BADEAU "wrote up" Grants
biography. 1t was good one for Grant,
and also for Adam. 1t put the former
one length ahead of Napoleon or Julius
Cesar, and the latter as Consul General at
London. A wicked contemporary, in
view of this tickling process, says: ''We
imagine that the new Consul General,
when he enters the place prepared for HIM
and commences reaping the reward of his
''Life-labor," will feel inclined to con-
graduate himself. and to exclaim, That

THE Radicals expect to carry Maryland
at the next election by the votes of ne
groes. At the last election, the Demo-
Gratis polled seventy thousand votes, and
it is claimed that there are negro votes
enough in the State to overcome that
difference. But those who lay that FLAT
tering JUNCTION to their souls" overlook
the fact, that, owing TO the one sided as
pect of the last election in Maryland,
more than thirty thousand white men did
not vote. When the next contest
comes, and the negro is expected to hold
the balance of power, white men viii toe
the mark en- ndSSc, and Maryland viii
remain in the white mans column. ''De
yesr of Jubilo" is not 50 near in Mary
land as the Radicals hope.

SOLoN ROBINSON is evidently anxious
10 cultivate the negroes friendship in
Florida. He recently shot and killed a
burglar. Report said that the burglar
was a black man. Circumstances very
strongly favored the truth of this report;
but Robinson, after lapse Of time, writes
that he thinks the burglar was a white
man. But as he shot him through a
door, in the dead of night, and never saw
the body, which was carried off by an
associate, his testimony is not conclusive
as to that point; but being a good Radical,
he is right to put the crime upon a men,
Der of his own race.
