The action taken by Mr. Robert T. Lin

disorder was founded upon consultation
with members of her family, with the most
intimate friends of the late President, and
with six of the leading physicians Of
Chicago, who after full examination of the
case assured him that by any further delay
he would render himself responsible for a
probable tragedy. Mrs Lincoln is receiving

feebloness and incapacity, and it is not ye
possible to give an opinion as to herrcstora

tect IT, He lately set Investigations on

"a careful estimate, based on data,
obtained by the Solicitor of the Treas

six thousand barrels of whisky had

No HopE ron THE UNION STATES

ical journals are cndcavoring to write
up Charles Il. Wolfe, of Union county,
as o candidate for State Treasurer
These scribes may as well spare them
selves the trouble, Tho Beaver Ring
will have something to say about that,
with whom tho Union Statesman(2)
was never hvoritc, They showed
this when they clipped his Congress
sional aspirations at tho last apportion-
ment. This stung Charlie SO badly
that he had tho imprudepce in the dc.
bate on that measure in the House, 70
personally denouncc the Radical Chair
man Of the Appertionmcnt Committee,
Mr.. Rutan, in the most bitter terms.
True at tho two subsequent sessions Of
the Legislature he endcavorcd to OBJ
literate the effects Of bis ill.timed speech
by the most obscquious Difference to
the demands of the Ring, but it will
prove useless. The latter are q class
who never forget or forgive, hence oil
the efforts Of Charles friends cannot
effect his nomination therefore they
mayas well cease their adulatory rheto.
ric in his behalf We rather regret
that tho fates are no against Charlie,
as we doubt if weaker candidate
could bc put forth by the Radical
Convention. - Danrille Intelliamcer.

From this il will be seen that the

which We're brought into the United

cost the people five billions, -four hundred

than ons.thnd of which vast sum was
nothing but tares, called tarif duties.
But this is only part of the story.
Suppose there is an equal amount OF
home manufactured goods consu med
in the country during the same period,
which will be equally enhanced in
price, by this tax on foreign goods,and
tho result is that the people have an
other one billion, four Hundred and fifty

however, does not 20 into the Golfers
