Lincolns Inst Moments.

A letter on the religious character OF
President Lincoln, by Mr., Miner, an old
| neighbor and friend of the President, oon-
tains some facts not heretofore known. We
give its conclusion
1t has been a matter of regret to many
good men that he came to his tragic end in
such place. But if the circumstances of his
going there were fully known, it might re-
lieye their minds somewhat. 1t has been said
that Mrs. Lincoln urged her husband to 60
to the theatre against his will. This is not so.
On the contrary, she tried to persuade him
not to 90, but he insisted. / have this state
ment from Mrs. Lincoln herself. He said !:
81 must have o little rest. A large process
sion of excited and oyerjoyed people will
visit me tonight. NV arms are now lame
shaking hands with the multitude, and the
people will pull me to pieces" lie went
to the theatre, not because he was interest
ed in the play, but because he was care
worn and weary and needed quiet and re-
pose. Mrs. Lincoln informed me that he
seemed to take no notice of what was going
on in the theatre from the time he entered
till the discharge Of the fatal pistol.
He was oyerjayed at the thought
that the war was over, and that
there would be no further destruc-
ton of life. She said the last day he lived
was the happiest of his life. The very
last moments of his conscious life were
spent in conversation with his wife about
his future plans, and what he wanted to do
when his term Of Office had expired. He
said he wanted to visit the Holy Land, and
see those places hallowed by the footprints
of the Saviour, He said there was no city
he so much desired to see as Jerusalem,
and with that. word half-spoken on his
tongue, The bullet from the pistol of the
assassin entered his brain, and the soul of
the great and good President was carried
by the angels to the New Jerusalem above.

Horace GreeIeys Promise to support Grant for
Second Term fsftfJ4aIfJ 10

u Second Term 'E4IasIj -
The Newburg DAILY Journal says::I Id
the Daily Tribune Of November I, 1858,
Horace Greeley distinctly pledged himself
to President Grant for second term In
the course of an editorial, evidently from
his pen, headed ssThe Kings Friends" it
il declared that General Grant, then Just
elected President, us with the Republicans
in principle and heart. .. - .,i Y, y a. ~
The Democrats are then assured that
"General Grants instincts are all Demo-
cratic in the proper sense Of that much
abused term, while his leanings are conser-
vative, and his heart yearns for q prompt
establishment of the Union in its inte-
gritty" and they are upbraided for having
opposed his election. 'lsh y13 ta.5
MIR. Greeley then expresses his trust that
''the burning of negro school-houses and
Camilla butcheries are in their last quar-
ter" &C., &C., and closes the paragraph
with this outburst of present and prospec-
tive confidence in President Grant. "We
do earnestly believe that General Grants
four years will serve to efface all the ugly
scars left by our late fraticidal war but,
if not, we shall have to insist on his serv-
ing second term, and that will certainly
see the good work completed. Sulky cha
grin cannot outlive twelve years of blasted
hopes" T g. f.. 81 ~ s..,.,
But Mr.. Greeley now repudiated this
distinct and unsolicited pledge to support
Grant for reelection, just as he now repu-
dates every political principle of his life.
