CHICAGO, july 26.--A statement
that originally appeared in the New
York World, to the effect that Robert
L. Lincoln, Of this city, son of the late
Abraham Lincoln, had declared his
purpose to support Tilden for Presi-
dent, has been the cause of a good
deal Of embarrassing correspondence
to him. The frieGds Of Mr.. Lincoln,
wishing to relieve him from such en-
harrassment, have requested contra
liction to be made. Mr.. Lincoln, it
Is hardly needful to say, is a Repub-
llcan and a supporter Of Hayes and

The Late Edward Richardson.

The Boston Journal of Tuesday last, in an
nouncng the decease of the late Mr.. Richard
son refers to him as follows:
"Mr. Edward Richardson, the well known
cashier of the National City Bank, Cambridge,
died Sunday night at his residence, No S0s
Cambridge street, in that city. Mr.. Richardson
was man of great business talent and exper-
fence, and of unquestionable integrity"
AS Mr. Richardson was wellk nown and
highly esteemed resident of this city for many
years, it is fitting that some brief reference be
made of him in our paper.
Mr.. Richardson was the son Of the late Gen.
ersl Afford Richardson at one time Deacon
of the 1st Baptist Church and for many years
Cashier Of the Old Portland Bank in this city,
then occupying the old Banking House on the
site of the Canal Bank on Middle street, in
which his son Edward was for long time the
principal clerk and book-keeper, until his re.
moval to Cambridge where he became cashier
of bank, some thirty-fve years since, he mar.
ried the daughter of the late John Owen of this
city, who for many years was Deacon of the
LIST Parish Church, to which Mr.. Richardson
was for several years connected as leading
and active member and superintendent of the
Sabbath School and was greatly esteemed for
his many virtues, strict integrity and gentle
manly bearing
He will be recollected by many of his old com.
rades as at one time 2nt Lieutenant of the old
Portland Rifle Corps" when it was under
the command of the late Col Solomon Fl.
Nudge. His brother j. w. Richardson also
formally of this city, now of Boston, is the &C
tive and esteemed agent of the Stoning ton
Steamboat Line. L.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Will you please call attention
to the public meeting this afternoon at 8
o'clock in the Plymouth church vestry. or
suffer me this word or exhortation.
1t may seem little late to introduce this
subject In these last days of winter. If to-
days cold does not furnish sufficient reason. I
add another for the present consideration of
this matter. If we would do the best thing
possible for the poor, we must educate them to
selt-help.
The experience of the winter will give en-
pbasis to- any admonitions for the future. They
ought now to be warned against waste and i'm
providence in the coming months of plenty.
They should be assured now that the ''sluggard
who will not pillow by reason of cold, shall beg
in harvest and have nothing"
The annual amount expended four or five
years ago by one of our most popular benevo-
lent organizations mas been doubled, while the
number of those aided thereby has increased at
a very small per cent only. We account for
this in part by the fact that the applicants for
aid now are mostly foreigners, while formerly
uative Americans were those helped. This
foreign element is yearly increasing; and it is
also constantly enlarging its demands. Port
land has gained such reputation for aims.
deeds that the thriftless are induced to make
this city their residence for its cheap living.
These and all such persons must be informed
that their improvidence cannot be supple
mented from funds contributed for the deserv.
ing as we'll as necessitous. By allowing the
impositions OF the professional beggar, oul
worthy poor are "robbed in behalf of charity
