We are pleased to notice that the lame
of Capt. Jas. l.. Robinson, the very efficient
Representative from Macon, has been spo-
ken of as a suitable and proper nomina-
Hdon for Lieut.. Governor, on the Demo-
scratic ticket during the coming campaign.
Captain Robinson has very deservedly,
during his services III thc Legislature, be-
come exceedingly popular throughout the
State, and we doubt If a more suitable man
scculd be placed on the ticket for this posi-
stion.
It is said, by members Of the Legisla-
sture, that he gave evidence, when in the
chair, of possessing executive ability be-
syond any member of his house. He always
presided with dignity and to the satisfac-
ton of all. There is no man in the State
that we would support more heartily than
Captain Robinson, for Lieutenant Cover
snor.-Asheville Citizen.
We copy the above to add our endorse
sment Of Captain ROBINSON. Ifit is desired
that the candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor shall come from the section in which
he resides, section which gives large
conservative majority, the name Of Captain
ROBINSON will prove most acceptable to
The party in the Southeast. Captain ROB

A Curious Story About Mrs LineOln
Reiterated.

\ few days ago, paragraph in the Her
I0td, based upon What was known TO be
good authority, announced that Mrs. Abra-
ham Lincoln had recently visited Bost OH,
land SncOgrito and closely yelled attended
Ia public Sednee of a well-known lady medi-
um on Washington street, On which occas-
ion the spirit Of her lamcnted husband ap-
lpealed and, by unmistakable manifesto
lions, revealed to oil present the identity OF
Mrs. Lincoln, which she hid attempted 10
keep secret. We have now the best ALL
athority for saying that the report was in all
respects accurate; that Nrs. Lincoln did
visit Boston on tie 4th instant; that she
took lodgings at the Parks House, regis
itering her name as Mrs. Under; that she
remained there ten days, during which
time she made frequent visits TO the 1nedi-
UNI above mentioned, and that while at
THE hotel her identity was discovered by
person who had often seen her in WASH
singt0n, She desired To have her visit 10
Boston unknown, but the injunction OF
secrecy ceased TO be binding after the rcve-
lation at the public Sednce. 1t is further
stated by those in a position to know, that
THE interviews with the medium were O,
the most satisfactory and conclusive nature,
has atfording tests of the real presence Of tn
spirit Of her husband.

We return our thanks to the Hon. J. B.
BECK, of Kentucky, for favors. There is
no man in Congress from either section
who has endeared himself so much to the
good people of the entire South as has Mr..
BECK. His Congressional career has been
marked by ability, dignity, devotion to the
Constitution and the Union, which makes
him worthy successor of that great Ken
tuckian, HENRY CLAY, whose old district
he so worthily represents. There has been
no step in the Congressional policy of re
construction against which he has not lifted
up his voice and entered his protest. He
has fought with signal ability and boldness
every move made by the dominant party
to hu1niliate and punish the South. His
report in behalf of the minority of the
Committee upon the alleged disorders in
the South is one of the ablest, as it is one OF
4ks beldsst, vindications of our people and
