New York Correspondence Of the Boston Journal
One day q lady came to Stewards office
sand handed him ii scrap of paper, on which
was scribbled d. few lines. The purport of
this note was, u" Let this woman have 800
ion account of the Secret Service fund, and
send her on her mission" The note was
signed A. L. II is well known that Congress
votes tue President from $60, 900 to $1OO, 600
annually AS a secret service fund ] OF this
the Secretary of State is the, custodian. He
must countersigR the, Presidents order, or
mot a dollar of the fund can he used. But
after the President receives the money no
body can inquire what he does with it. Mr.
Seward inquired of the woman what secret
service she was to perform that would justify
his paying her 800. - Well, she was going
TO England to create public sentiment there
what Mr.. Seward supposed. The woman
had been hanging around the White House,
bothering the life out Of the President. and
to get rid of her he proposed to give her
BOO. 81 can give you no money for such
. purpose" said the Secretary of State.
"Your services are worth nothing. In Lon
don you would be damage, and not a bene.
fit to US. can not throw away the peoples
money in that fashion for you" The lady
was not only indignant but astonished. $50
you refuse to obey the Presidents order p

Mr.. Lincoln; and when he says let me have
$1OO of bis own money, you say shant
have it?' swell, Madam, If the President
wants to give you 300 out of his own salary,
he has q perfect right to do 1t. But you can
have no money out of the Secret Service
Fund for such q Tom Fools crrand as you
are starting on" "Giye me my papers,
sir, if you please, said the excited lady, and
off she started to find the President. Mr..
Lincoln groaned as she crossed the threshold.
t'Well, what now9" "Mr. Seward won't
give me the money! and she told her story.
