Two Famous Women Hopeless
lY.lnsane.

There are two women across
tho water, the melancholy OF
whom is well calculated to ex-
cite the deepest commlseration.
Charlotte, the widow of Maxi
MILAN, ho?elessly insane in her
castle, and Mrs. Abraham Lin-
eoln. the widow OF the assassina-
ted President living secluded in
an interior town Of France, de-
clining to return to America, lest
she may again be placed in a
lunatic asylum. 1t is said that
she still INDUCES, to moderate
extent, her propensity of pur-
chasing things for which she
has no use, which was one Of
the forms her mild lunacy first
assumed. 1t will be remembered
that in 1875 Robert, Mrs. Lin
coins oldest son, commenced
proceedings in the Chicago court
to have his mother adjudged in
sane, in view Of her reckless ex-
penditure and her many acts in
consistent with sanity, and to
have a person appointed to take
care of her property. The court,
after hearing the evidence, pro-
nounced her insane and appoint
ed a trustee to manage her es-
tate. About s50,090 in govern
ment bonds was found on her
person. After the decision of
the court, she left her room at
the Grand Pacific Hotel, IN Chi
cago, and endeavored to procure
laudanum at a neighboring drug
store, but received only a harm
less drug, and was prevented
from committing suicide. The
next day she was conveyed.to a
private asylum in northern Hi
nols, and after 4 few months was
placed in care of her sister, at
Springfield, from whence she
sought Il quiet retreat in France.
The loss of her husband bore
heavily upon her, but the blow
which wrecked her mind was
the shaft Of death that fell upon
her loved child, Thaddeus, or
"Tad," as "everybody's pet" was
effectionally called. There is but
little hope other recovery. Rob
ert, the only son living is enga-
ged in the practice Of law in
Chicago, and holds high rank in
his profession.-Phaadelphia Re-

WASH NGToN, April 5.-Ex-
Governor Pinchback, Of Louisi-
ana, had an interview with the
President last night, and took
occasion to give his views con-
cerning the needs Of that State.
He represents the interview as
both pleasant and satisfactory.
Pinchback says that Louisiana
has now the best Governor with
in his recollection. The people
are better satisfied than hereto
fore with public affairs, although,
as elsewhere, there is complaint
Of hard times. The only thing
of which Pinchback complains
is that a few children, nearly
white, in the public schools in
New Orleans, have been required
to leave. His own children were
included in the number and were
removed by the school authOri-
ties.

and to vigilance committees; that work
ingmen should uphold the constituted
authorities and secure their rights by
ballot; that they were living under the
bes. government the world ever saw.
To a remark by one of the committee
shat military organizations might be-
coms necessary to free country from
bondage. the Father replied. that if ii
ever became necessary TO raise troops
Tor that purpose. government could att
tend to it. He said the present leaders
of the Workingmen would ruin their
party, and that men of different stamp
were needed to lead the movement. As
to the pastoral, the church did not wish
TO meddle with politics. but the pastoral
was issued as advice of fathers to child>
ren. The committee did not venture
an inquiry as to the renting of build
ings by the archbishop to Cinnamon,
but were informed that no Cinnamon
were employed by him. 1t WAS at first
proposed to furnish the press with
copies of the report, But 1t was finally
decided to reserve it.
Several Chinese merchants have made
application to F. A. Bee and 3. s..
Brooks to aid them in obtaining natur-
alization papers from the federal courts.
Such applications will shortly be made
| to the United States circui. court, and
the Tar will then be invited to discuss
the question of adnissibility of Mon
golians to become citizens. Several
Cinnamon have been granted papers of
citizenship by Judge Hoffman and other
United States judges, but the question
of their eligibility to the rights of clti'
zenship has never been adjudicated IN
the federal courts.

The failure of congress at this session to
provide law for some more certain and
reliable mode of determining the result of
presidential elections will be leaving
undoDe one of those things which ought to
be done IF not done at this time it is
not likely to be accomplished before
another national contest. The next congress
will be too near the time of shaping polit-
ical affairs for the presidency and will be still
less likely to agree upon any method which
will be acceptable to the country, especial
ly if it should so happen that the MAORI
ties in the senate and house are of oppo-
site political complexion. The scenes of
the last contest, and the creation of an
electoral commission taught. or at least
should have taught, the necessity of pro-
viding against the recurrance Of another
contest of that character.
