PRESIDENT IINCoLN's TEEAT.-A wri-
ter i'll the Portland Press, who witnessed
the interview between Mr. Lincoln and
the committee of the Chicago convention
that came To his house TO inform him ol
his nomination. for the presidency, tells
the following story: ''-\fter the cere-
mony had passed, Mr.. Lincoln remarked
TO the company that, as an appropriate
conclusion 10 an interview so important
and interesting as that which had just
transpired. lie supposed that good man
ncrs would require that he should treat
the committee with something 10 drink
and, opening 4 dor that led into room
in the rear, he called out, "Mary, Ma.
ry." n girl responded to the call,
when MIR. Lincoln spoke few words to
her III AN underione, and, closing the
door, returned again to converse with
his guests. In Il few minutes the maid
en- entered, bearing a large waiter, con-
tanning several glass tumblers, and Il
large pitcher in the midst, and then
placed it upon the center table. Mr.
Lincoln arose, AMI gravcly addressing
the company, said: Gentlemen, we
must pledge our mutual hcalths III the
most healthy beverage Which our God
has given to man. 1t is the only bever-
ane which have ever used or allowed
in nv family; and cannot conscien-
tously depart from it ON the present oc
c.lsiun. 1t is pure "Adam's ale, from
the spring. And, taking a tumbler,
he touched it TO his lips, and pledged
them his highest respects in cup of
cold wafer OF course, all his guests
were constrained TO admire his consisten-
cy, and joined in his example"

Arrival OF the COngress-News from
the Poiaris-PeOpIc OF st. johns
Prefer Annexation to the United
States.
ST. JOINS, n. B., August 29.-Unlted
States steamship Congress has just re-
turned from Greenland, having made a
splendid voyage of 2500 miles to Disco
in less than thirteen days. The Con-
cre.s left St. Johns on the Sd Of August
and arrived at Disco on the 10th. On
the trip she passed hundreds Of immense
icebergs. They found the Polarls at
Disco six days in advance. Capt. Hall
and his men are in good spirits, and sure
OF success. The Polaris sailed August
Eth in the afternoon, amid three cheers
from the Congress. Capt. Hall instead
OF going by way OF Jones Sound Will
keep to the west side of Smiths Sound
as there are a number Of ice drifts
sou,bwesterly, and which embarrassed
Dr.. Kane's advance. As the season ls
open he hopes to get through this year.
Capt Davenport was received with
salute Of fifteen guns when he present
ed letters from Secretary Robeson
stating the object of his visit, and So
Letting the cooperation of the Danish
authorities with Capt. Halls expedition
which was cheerfully accepted.
The people Of St. Johns prefer an
nexation to the United States to con-
nection with the Dominion Confedera-
ton, being unable to bear the burdens
OF Canada without realizing any benefit
from such an attachment

Great Sale OF Lots-SafIfng OF
Scientific Expedition-Fears OF All
Indian War, &c.
SAN Francisco, August 29.-The
sale OF lots at the Yerba Burma Plaza,
for the benefit of the new City Hall
fund to day, realized nearly S9SO,Ooo'
the prices being relatively the highest
ever obtained in San Francisco.
The scientific expedition sailed for
Ounalska, on the Government steamer
Humboldt to-day.
The Indian difficulties in Southern
California are more serious than at first
anticipated. The following startling
intelligence has just been received from
Les Flores this afternoon: The rebel
Chief Olegario has persuaded the
Coguilas to join him in an attack on
the settlement Of Luisery. The set
tiers responding to the call Of Colonel
J. C. Couts will join the command Of
Colonel Brown tonight. Father
Ubach, of Sandiego, has just returned
and reports that all the attempts on
his part to bring peace have been frus-
trated by Olegario. There is great ex-
citement in the vicinity of San Lulsery'
and there are fears of a general uPrls'
ing and an Indian war.

for whose act it had been seized. 1t
follows, then, that the estate acquired
by the purchaser at the Marshals sale
expired on the Oath day Of November,
1866, when French Forrest died. I'm
der the act Of Congress, the District
Court had no power to order sale
which should confer upon the pur.
chaser rights outlasting the life Of
French Forrest"
Should the doctrine Of this decision
be adhered to by the Supreme Court OF
the United States, Mr.. Slidells heirs,
and all others similarly situated, must
recover the possession and enjoyment OF
their ancestors estates.
Second, as to the allegation OF the
public administrator that Mr.. Slidell
could not have disposed by last will
and testament of the property contis-
Gated as his, it cannot be admitted at
all. There is not word in the Acts
of Congress, known as the contiscatlon
acts, which incapacitates or in any way
divests these offenders OF the power OF
making a will Congress did not un-
dertake to make heirs for any person.
1t had no right to interfere with the
succession laws Of the States. 1t had
no right to say that the property con.
fiscated should 60 to the helrs-at-law OF
the offending party. Grant that the
property was to revert at his death to
his heirs. Congress conld not say who
those heirs should be; and Congress
did not by any precise words-and
these were needful in a penal statute
take away the right Of disposing Of
that portion Of the estate which the
State law permitted the deceased to be-
queath.
According to the averments OF the
petition OF the public administrator, IT
Mr.. Slideirs life-interest in all his Lou
isiana property were confscated, and he
could not make will, then there Is no
succession to be opened, because he left
nothing. The only persons interested
in this meter are the purchasers Of the
property and Mr.. Slidells heirs, who
may or may not wish 10 open the sue
cession in Louisiana. They have the
right to abandon all claim to the prop
erty, if that course should seem proper
to them. 1t is true that Mr.. Slidells
credltors-if he had any-might also
proceed against his property, but go far
as is known he had no creditors.
The State Of Louisiana has no inter
est in the question. We think the
probability is that Mr.. Slidell has left
a will, and that the document will be
recorded in the Probate Court of Or
leans parish in due time. Until then 1t
is probable nothing can be done towards
the winding up and distribution Of the
estate.

LOUISVILLE.
RailrOrd Accident.

LOUISVILLE, August ga south
bound freight train on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad ran off the track near
Rocky Hill station this morning about
eight clock. The train was behind
time when the section men arrived, and
supposing the train had passed on time
they commenced repairs on the track,
having a rail torn up when No. 9 csme
rushing upon them, and without allow
ing any time ior signals dashed upon
the space left vacant OF rails. The
engineer and two men were seriously
injured, but it is thought not fatally.
The locomotive and train were al
most completely demolished. There
were two car loads Of mules and one OF
horses, OF which twenty-six animals
were killed outright, and some thirty
injured. The wreck caused . delay OF
some hours to trains both East and
West. -

BROOKLYN, n. Y, August 29.-The in
quest was concluded at midnight in the
case OF the kerosene accident by which
Geo. jackson came to his death. ltwas
given in testimony that the oil was re-
fined by the Washington Oil Works.
McGrey, one of the firm, testified that
the standard Of go established by the
Petroleum Board was unsafe. The jury
brought in a verdict that the oil was
dangerous and unfit for use, and that
Thos. McGrey & VIM. Cullen, the man
uiacturers OF the oil, are responsible for
the death of Geo. Jackson. The jury
called upon the authorities to take such
action as will prevent any oil being
sold of less grade than l2o' Tagleban

MOBILE ALA, August 29.-The
steamer Fountain brought eleven dead
bodies this morning from the scene ot
the wreck. This makes total OF
thirty-fve received so far, and it is fear
ed that many more are still under the
wreck. The excursionists were mainly
of the working class, with the exception
of some few, although many well known
citizens are among the killed. The fol,
lowing are among the killed; VIM

Divers are at work and every exertlon
is being made to recover the bodies
buried beneath and under the decks.
The scene about the wharf at this port
beggars description. The relatives and
friends of those killed and injured by
the explosion are gathered in large
numbers, and those OF the wounded VINO
can be safely removed are being carried
away to their homes or to the hospital.
Those who are 30 severely injured that
they cannot be removed are being cared
for. Great excitement mingled with
indignation prevails at the criminal
negligence Of the owners OF the ocean
Wave, in allowing her to be used Tor
any purpose when it was known she
was unsafe. A searching investigation
has been decided upon. The deepest
sadness prevails over the entire city.
MOBILE, August 29.-The list of those
killed by the Ocean Wave disaster tele'
graphed this morning is complete as Tar
as known. Mrs. Murray, wife of the
engineer, died today from the effects OF
her injuries. The following is the list
of wounded so far as known: James
Murray, engineer; John Stevens, Octave

were badly scalded. Many wounded
are in a critical condition. A differ
euce of opinion exists in regard to the

PARIS. August 29.-The excitement
n political circles appears to increase
rather than diminish, and the greatest
confusion now exists among all parties
in the Assembly. The members Of the
plrtv OF the Left have pledged their
support TO NJ. Theirs, and it is prob
able that they will oppose the adoption
of the report of the committee on the
Prolonga,ion of the Executive Powers
when it comes up for debate on
Wednesday. A meeting OF deputies to
the number OF two hundred and fifty
was held to-day for the purpose OF dis
cussing the political situation, and, II
possible, agreeing upon plan OF action.
4 proposition was offered to confer the
presidency upon NJ. Theirs under con-
ditions similar to that OF the constltu-
tion of 1913. This proposition was re-
ceivei with evident disfavor, and with
out agreeing upon any resolution the
meeting adjourned. The meeting was
characterized by much discussion, and
an utter want OF harmony was netice-
able among those present. The cha
otc state OF all parties in the Assembly
precludes prediction as to the result
or Wednesdays debate.

PARIS, August ON. Thiers de-
clines to accept the report submitted by
the committee on Prolongation Of the
Executive Power, IN the Assembly yes
terday, on the ground that it coniers
additional powers on the majority in

powers in the Assembly instead of the
Ministry, and prevents the present
,roub!e in the Assembly committee to
-nrross public attention. The debate
which has been ordered for Wednesday
next, is looked forward to with much
anxiety and tits expected will be pro-
I1tive of important results.
