LincOln's HOrsemanship.

The Tribune, in an art criticism on the
- Lincoln Statue" so called, in Union
Square, says that Gan equestrian statue was
not to be thought Of" because Mr. Lin
coin was no horseman, like Washington or
Scott" While it may be true that an
equestrian statue to represent civilian and
remarkably homely man" as the critic
chooses to characterize the late President,
would not be altogether appropriate, yet
the reason for not creating such statue
cannot be that he twas no horsenlan.o 1t
is great mistake. President Lincoln was
great horseman. If it can be asserted
truly, that Abraham Lincoln ever did any
thing gracefully, it would apply to his
horsemanship more than to any other act
of his life. The writer will never forget
the first test in the art of riding applied to
Mr.. Lincoln during the war; nor will Gen.
Mcclellan forget. 1t was in November,
1861 General Mcclellan was in command
of the Army of the Potomac, and a grand
review of 10000 troops was to be made by
the President. Some of McClellan's staff,
knowing that the General was a
man of great endurance and eX-
pertness in the saddle, laughed at
the idea of Mr. Lincoln's attempt to keep
up with him in the severe ordeal of riding
down the lines. They rather limited that
the General would move rapidly to test
Lincoln's capacity asa rider. There were
those on the field in Virginia that day,
however, who had seen Lincoln in the sad
die in Illinois, and they were very con-
fident.
They knew their man. A splendid,
large black horse, very spirited, was select
ed for the President to ride. When the
time came he walked up to the animal,
and the instant he seized the bride to
mount it was evident to horsemen that he
knew his business. He had the animal in
hand at once. No sooner in the saddle
Than the coal black steed began to prance,
ana Whirl, and dance as if he was proud
OF ms burden. But the President sat as
undlsturbed and fixed to the saddle as if he
ana the horse were one. Lincoln was
sspurred and the horse was curbed in the
bit, both of which facts the animal felt as
keenly as the rider knew it, The test of
endurance soon came. Mcclellan, with
ms magnificent stat, approached the Presi-
dent, who Joined them, and away they
dashed to distant point on the field The
artillery began to thunder, the drums beat,
and the bands struck up "Hail to the
Dh'ef, AMI the troops cheered. Lincoln.

the design adopted by the commission to see
how utterly absurd will be the appearance OF
Independence Hall when surrounded on all
sides by a large marble or granite structure,
with its ornate oornioes, pillars, pilasters, and
fanciful Mansard roof.
Scarcely less Objectionable than the Inde-
pendence-Square project is the idea of ap-
propriating Washington Square. Mr.. Samuel
Josephs few days ago introduced bill in
the House for the appointment of commits
sion to erect the public buildings on this
spot. 1t should be remembered that Wash
ington Square was set apart with three others,
as public park forever, and neither the Leg
islature nor the city has any right to use it
for any purpose, unless under the pressure of
great and overpowering necessity. Such q
necessity does not exist; and with the Penn
Squares at our disposal it is scarcely worth
while to consider any other proposition for a
site, and the committee to which Mr.. Josephs
bill was referred will do well to quietly drop
it into their waste basket

THE PROPOSED NEW TERRITORIAL
ACQUISITIONS

A DESPATCH from Washington states that the
Senate Foreign Committee have agreed to
report against the ratification of the st.
Thomas and Samana Bay treaties; and the
disposition thus evinced to prevent the nation
from being entangled in any new land specu-
lations will be cordially commended by the
American people. The existing pressure of
debt and taxation should never be lost sight
of for a moment, and instead of seeking
additional ways to spend the public money,
the Executive as well as the legislative
branches of the Government should ever be
mindful of the paramount necessity of saving
every dollar that can be saved. There is a
fearful contrast between the old land
purchases of the nation which, by their
cheapness and utility, have become popu-
lar, and the speculative operations of modern
administrations. Jefferson gave only three
millions of dollars for the Louisiana purchase,
which included hundreds of millions Of acres
of the most fertile land in the world, and
which was worth, intrinsically, thousand
bleak Alaskas, or ten thousand little specks
like st. Thomas. For California and the
contiguous territories only a few millions
were paid, and after yielding a gold product
fifty times as great as its cost, it is now one
of the most productive agricultural States OF
the Union, and its chief city is one of the
most important of American ports. There
were reason and profit in these transactions.
We obtained great deal of extremely valua-
BILE land, encumbered with but small
number of intractable inhabitants, for
a very moderate sum, and the statesmen who
conducted such negotiations will be de-
servedly honored for making such good bar
gains for the American people. Their modern
imitators, however, are distinguished mainly
for the magnitude of the sums they propose
to pay for comparatively or totally worthless
territory. The first great fraud perpetratec
was in the Gadsden purchase, by which abou
ten millions were paid for strip of the mos
