L.ncoln'. Freedom from Resentment

L.
gerada State Journal. f,s g.a5
To chow that AbrahaEssL Linesln was not q
man of rese ailments, would state In this
this connection that one of his first acts after
his election to the Presidency was to appoint
Norman X. Judd, of Chicago, as Minister to
Prussia. Mr.. Judd was one of the Trum-
bull coterie who had persisted in the opposi-
tion to MIR. Lincoln for the United States
Senatorship. @"
A few months prior to the meeting Of the
National Republican Convention of 1860,
Mr.. Judd, an asprant for the Governorship
OF Illinois, called at my Office at Rock Island
while OH an electioneering tour, and, In the
cou cse of conversation, asked: .
"Name your man for the p, residential nom.
ination at Chicago" s"@5 5'1.
promptly replied, " Abraham I'll ,coln."
Mr.. Judd, In saeering tone, said: 81 am
not jokiug-tell me who Is your honest
choice" #"
| repeated "Abl aham Lincoln"
He quickly RESPONDED: am aston'shed
that any one should think Of his nomination
WIZ we have fifst-ciass statesmen In our
party like Lyman TeambulI. Salmon Chase
aud John NJ. Palmes." " @' .'--
The appointment of Mr.. Judd was general
ly opposed by Mr.. .Lincoln's mos. intimate
fIiends-David Davis, Jesse~c. Dubois and
others.
On one occasion, in Sprindeld, when hard
pressed by his personal friends, who brought
argdmea,s TO bear aga ast Mr.. Judd's ap
poiut ment, Mr. Linroln replied.
al canuot understaad this opposition tt
Judd's appointment. It seems to me q

Unlike his most intimate friends. the grea
Presdeat cared not for the fact that MIR
Judd placed no high estimate on his Gin

Some Of the meetings appointing dele
gates to the June Convention and endors-
ing Gen. Malone are ridiculously small.
That at West Point consisted of five per-
SONS; their names are published in the
West Point "Star." A district meeting
in Rockbridge only had sac persons pres
ent: their names are published in the Lex
ington ''Gazette." AS no correction of
the publications is made, we assume
that they were correct. It is the extent
of presumption for such meetings to claim
to represent anybody but the participants.

THE PIRATES OF PENzANCE.-The sx-
pectation of first class rendering of the
operetta Of the "Pirates of Penzanee'' is
net confined to Staunton alone, as will be
seen from the paragraph we copy below
from the Anderson, W. Va, ssEnterprise, ,,
The editor of that journal might have
gone farther and said that III lyric as we'll
as dramatic talent Stanton is second to
but few places in the country:
Staunton Is to have 'sThe Pirates of
Penzance." by a troupe of home talent.
That olty can boast of some talented &C.
tors and actresses, second to but few In the
country. Whenever r. Louis Ide has the
management of an opera, you may be sure
1t will be O. K. A1'
There will be over fifty persons on shes
stage in the production of this opera and
We think we may safely say that there wila
not be bad voice among them.

Our friends who go to the June Conven-
ton will be greatly puzzled when they get
there to decide who Gen. Malone wants
nominated. We have seen it stated that
Col. Cameron is the intimate friend of the
General and is his preference for Governor.
Again, it is positively stated that John S.
Wise is the bosom friend of the General
and is his decided preference for that posi-
ton. sStill later on we see printed that
Gen. Groner of Norfolk, has always held
intimate relations with the General and
that he is his preference. And lastly that
the intellect of Rev. John E. Massey is
fully appreciated by Gen. Malone who
would be glad to see it direct Virginia
affairs from the gubernatorial mansion
The General seems to have shrouded him
selfin as great mist on the Governor ques-
tion as he did on the Senatorial status. A
second Ben Hill could unearth him prob
ably. 1Y 4 So"

MAKE 1T CONVENIENT FOR THE
F4RMERS

It is very desirable that the Democratic
primaries for sending delegates to the
August Convention should be made at a
convenient season for the farmers of the
State to attend. May. it seems to us, is a
good month, one in which the farming
community will have more leisure than at
any time between now and August. In
cities no month of the year is insuperably
inconvenient. bat it is not so in the coun-
ties. Let the Democratic County Com
mittees see to this ard try and consult the
leisure and convenience of the rural dis
tricts. It is in the country that the great
Democratic vote is to be rolled up to the
polls in November and we should like to
see it so arranged that this vote may have
a liberal hand in it at every stage from the
primary meeting to the Inauguration of
the Democratic Governor.

Correspondence of the Staunton VINDIcAToR.]
NEW YORK. April 25.
To write about millinery without bring
ing in the subject of steel, would be like
enacting the play Of Hamlet without the
Prince. For this hitherto neglected metal
is going to be the rage and appearsin every
shape. in braids, net works. beads, en-
broideries, cordings, laces, Or. ornaments.
to say nothing of bonnets where the origi-
nal material shows but family under a
covering of steel. Black bonnets thus
finished are very stylish either for light
mourning or colors, but in the latter case,
weird contrasts are produced by a few
bright flowers. Again, have seen a bon
net composed entirely of flowers, over
which was thrown a net work of lace
thickly bestrewn with steel spangles, while
yet more notable specimens are composed
wholly of steel. The foundation is a fine
steel net work and it is finished with steel
flowers and feather-like ornaments. But
some one will say, docs not steel rust
and what them" To this I answer that
the finer qualities do not, but on the other
hand, they are very costly. So the moral
is, if you do not regard expense, indulge
in this fashionable fancy; if you do, let
steel alone. Furthermore, do not believe
it to be lasting. 1t will be ''high Style
| for time and then vanish.
