Mrs. LINCOLN, widow of Abraham
Lincoln, died at Springfield, Illinois,
on last Sunday, in the house in which
the couple were married, in the long
ago. Mrs. Lincoln's life since that
memorable dark Friday in April 1865
has been a peculiarly sad one. 1t is
generally believed that the shock
caused by the terrible death Of the
President unsettled her reason. Ii
fact, she has been treated in private
asylums for the insane.
Ever since the murder of her hus
band she has been the same strange
gloomy, retiring woman. She spen
some three years in Europe, returning
this Spring. She left, at her death
but one survivor of the once happ.
family, that occupied the White Hous
during the war. This is Robert I
Lincoln, Secretary Of War. 1t is
sad family history, and the poor WON
an, who was sorely afflicted, perhap
welcomed the death which would re
lieve her sorrows. She was ga year

The above is strictly true, but we
might go farther, and say that Judge
Tripp, in passing sentence upon Dow
ler, said that Portland was overrun by
a drunken mob, and if Marshal Dow
Ter had knocked Slagle down at the
time Dowler was knocked down, when
taking Slagle to the village prison, he
would have been perfectly justifable
Dowler's offense was merely technical
and the fine would be only S.. OF
course this carried the costs with it.
and the fine and costs amounted to
SIG. Dowler did not haye the mon
ey, and it was hard to send a man tc
prison under such circumstances
The Commissioners took the proper
view Of the case, and relieved Mr.
.Dowler. The information filed by
the Prosecuting Attorney was merely
to settle legal question. The Sher-
if was ordered by the Court to put
Dowler in prison; the commissioners
ordered him to release Dowler. He
could not obey both orders. The
question ought to have been settled,
and it was settled. No doubt it was
arranged between the Prosecuting
Attorney and the Sheriff to have this
proceeding instituted. We know that
the Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney
are on the most friendly terms, and
are both candidates orre-election, and
will both he elected, no matter what
amount Of abuse, SANDER and lying
may be heaped upon either, or both
of them.

THE FOUNTAIN OF DEFEAT


There is well fram which the waters gush,
Inviting ali mankind to pause and drink;
Up from their hidden cells the cool dEaEghts rpsh
And play in sparkling eddies round the brink.
Ofttimes it bubbles by the rivers side,
And ofttmes in the mountains rugged chain;
Ofttimes tits found upon the prairies wide,
In blooming valley or in desert plain.
Who tastes its waters, bubbling fresh and clear,
Tradition tells us, feels hitter pain;
Strong is his will who overcomes his faaE,
And sips from out the bitter pool again.
Statesmen and schoars-warriors and kings,
Have tasted of this ever-howing well;
Grim History to our memory ever brings
Stories of those whs by Its waters fell.
No hand may stay it-none may stop its flow,
Or reach the limits of Its waters deep;
Through future years its terrors still will go,
Ger future fields its poison vapors creep.
Men learn not from its oft-recurring pain,
But still shall dread Experience repeat
The lesson strong, till men shall weep again
This well is called 1.-THE Fountain Of pefeat"'s

New York, Feb. 24.-The Tribune's
Washington says: The gentleman who
was connected with the star route cases
in Nebraska has just returned to this
city. His explanation Of the cause of
the failure of the prosecution confirms
the theory held by Col. Bliss before the
details were received. The postmaster
at Sidney, upon whom the government
had relied to prove the case, and relied
upon up to the very moment of being
sworn, had stated that he would stand
by the government. AS oon as he APP
peared there, however, the lawyers for
the defense took charge Of him, and his
treason broke down the case.
1t is an interesting commentary on
the dispatches sent out from Omaha at
the time, saying that the dismissal of
the cases gave universal satisfaction,
as the defendants were highly respected
citizens. This same postmaster, Fred
erick E. Cleary, is shortly to be tried
for perjury, having given false returns
of the arrival and departure of mails,
etc. The evidence is documentary, the
prosecution having oyer one thousand
returns from him in its possession, and
his conviction is thought to be certain.
T. A. Iddings agent of Gilmer, Sails
bury s. Co., large mail contractors, and
Solomon Starr, who made similar re-
turns as ro5tmaster at Deadwood, are
to be tried also.

WASHINGTON NOTEs

Washington, Feb. 24.-The nomina-
ton of William Tucker, jr., of Illinois,
Logan's son-in-Iaw, to be major and
paymaster in the army, has evoked
much criticism. 1t has not been an
uncommon practice since the beginning
of Grants administration for presi-
dents to appoint ~paymasters from civil
life, but Tucker is one of the very few
men appointed from civil life who have
seen no military service. This appoint
ment carrying with it the rank of
major, will put Tucker wei the heads
Of 100 captains of cavalry, Go captains
of artillery, and % captains of infantry,
or in all, 430 officers, many of whom
fought on the .battleields of the late
war, and most of whom have probably
been 20 years in the service.
Sargent's nomination surprised some
Of his friends, who maintained till the
last that he would be secretary of the
interior.
Kirwood's friends have been working
industriously in his behalf of late,
Though he has not made a single move
ment for himself.
The nomination of Sargent is re.
garded as settling the fact that Kirk
wood remains at the head Of the in,
terror department.
There is talk of a probability of Conk.

CONGRESSIONAL


SENATE.
Washington, Feb. "a Davis, of
West Virginia, offered and advocated
a resolution requesting the committee
on military affairs to inquire into the
expediency of getting more aid than is
now provided to the various states and
territories in order to promote and en-
courage the organization of military
forces in the country and to strengthen
their efficiency. Adopted.
The calendar was then proceeded
with.
Bayard offered the following resolu-
ton: Whereas, publication has been
widely made by the public press of the
United States, of certain alleged CON-
mercial contracts between certain COM
panies and copartnerships of individ-
uals, relative to the exports Of guano
and nitrates from Peru, in which the
mediation of the governments of Peru,
Bolivia and Chilli is declared to be in a
condition for effectuation and continu-
ance Of said contracts, therefore be it
resolved, that the committee on foreign
relations be and is hereby instructed to
inquire whether any promises or stipu-
lations by which Intervention by the
United States in controversies existing
between Chilli and Peru, or Chilli and
Bolivia, has been expressedfor implicitly
given by any person or persons officially
connected with the government Of the
United States; or whether the influence
of the United States has been in any
way exerted, promised or lntimated; in
connection with or relation to said cor
tracts, by any n officially connected
with the government of the United
States; and whether anyone officially
connected with the government of the
United States is interested directly or
indirectly with any such alleged con
tracts in which the mediation as afore.
said of the United States is recited to
be the condition. Referred to commit
tee on foreign affairs.

Denver, Feb. 24.-In the trial of
Charles W. Stickney, for the murder of
NJ. H. Campau, which attracted wide
interest, the jury to-day returned a YER
dict of not guilty, on account of insan-
ity.
Stickney killed Campau in a boarding
house last May, because of criminal
intimacy with Mrs. Stickney. The
trial lasted eighteen days. A number
of prominent insanity experts and 9TH
ers from the east testified for the de-
tense. Both Stickney and Campau
were well known, the latter having
been a prominent real estate dealer.
Stickney is well known in Chicago.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 23.-The suit
of the state to recover taxes alleged to
be due from the Standard oil company
of Ohio, came up this morning. Vol
statements were read by the
defense denying that the company was
liable for taxes in this state, and depo-
sitions tending to show that a foreign
corporation having not a particle of the
investment stated, had never been
taxed to the amount of the capital
stock.

ling's declination, as it is said he wa!
not communicated with on the subject
1t is believed that if he declines Sena'
tor Edmunds will be appointed.
Senator Miller introduced a bill to.
day appropriating S175, 600 for the pro,
secution of steam vessels for the reve-
nue. marine, adapted for service in the
waters of the north Pacific.
The house committee on elections
decided to report III the case Of Camp
bell against Cannon of Utah, that
neither contestant nor contestee are en-
titled to the seat and declaring the
anne vacant.
The nomination of Conkling created
quite a stir in the senate as it was en-
tirely unexpected and the senators
freely expressed their surprise. The
indications are that he will be con
firmed unanimously.
1t is understood that Sargent will ac-
cept the place rendered him, and is
rather gratiied thus to escape from the
storm which has been raging about the
interior department and the hard work
attendant upon the position, for which
his nomination vas expected.
There is a great demand for tickets of
admission to the capitol on Monday,
the day fixed for the Garfield memorial
services. Almost every ticket holder
will be seated, thereby avoiding the
customary rush and confusion, each
senator and representative having been
allowed three tickets only. Fabulous
sums have already been offered for tic
kets of admission.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Belmont Of
fered a resolution directing that the
committee on foreign affairs inquire
into and report to the house respecting
the abstraction from the files of the
state department of certain letters and
doc uments, referred to in the letter Of
the secretary Of state Feb, 18th. Also
respecting the making of any contracts
in Paris or elsewhere by and between
any foreign corporation or company
and American citizen, concerning any
concession made by Peru to any French
or foreign company, wherein allusion
was made to the diplomatic action of
the United States.
Kasson offered as a substitute the fol-
lowing resolution: Whereas, it is al
legged in connection with the Chill, Pc
ruvian correspondence recently, and
officially published on the call of the
two houses of congress, that one or
more ministers plenipotentiary of the
United States were either personally
interested or Improperly connected with
business transactions in which the in
tervention Of this government was re-
quested or expected. and whereas it is
alleged that certain papers in relation
to the same subject have been improp-
erly lost or removed from the file of the
state department, therefore,
Be it resolved, that the committee on
foreign affairs be instructed to inquire
into said allegations and accusations
and ascertain the facts relating thereto
and report the same to the house with
such recommendations as may be
deemed proper.
Belmont accepted the substitute and
it was adopted without objection.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on private calendar.

Washington, Feb. 24.-In the Mason
court martial the court ordered a sub
pnna issued for j. c. Robinson, late
major in the TIN Ohio volunteers. 1t is
the intention to show by this witness
that Mason served with this regiment
bravely and faithfully, and was severely
wounded, after which there was a
marked change in his temperament and
disposition.
