The October Century will contain
two hitherto unpublished portraits Of
Lincoln. One, engraved by Cole,
and the frontispiece Of the number,
is copy of an ambrotype taken in
Springfield, Ills, in 1860, two days
after Lincoln's nomination. The
original was made in the presence of
Ex-Governor Marcus L. Ward, of
New Jersey, who kindly lent it to
the magazine, and gives its history
in an accompanying letter. 1t is said
to be a very remarkable picture,
showing better than any other some
of Mr.. Lincoln's noblest qualities.
The second portrait probably the
last ever made of him) is in remarkas
BILE contrast, showing the features of
President Lincoln as they appeared
a few weeks before his death. The
same number has an interesting con-
tribution from Frank B. Carpenter,
on ''How Lincoln was Nominated,
containing, it is said, much that is
new to history.

In a recent speech made by ex-

81 should be glad to see every
Federal officer, however honorable
his position, appointed for a specific
period, during which time he could
not be removed except for cause,
which cause should be specified,
proved, and made a matter of re-
cord He should be glad to see the
tenure of all subordinate officers
made longer at least than, Presi-
Dental term, so that the iucom ng of
a new administration would not be
crippled OF injured. Sven years
would be a good length for a term,
and would effect the desired end end.

TENNESSEE BONDS.
How the Work of Funding is Pro-
crossing.
Nashville Banner.

Nashville Banner.
The following letter from his law
partner was received this morning by
J. M. Dickinson, Esq:
New YORK, September 2.-Your
letter of August % was received, and
I went at once to the office of the
funding commissioners to ascertain
the information asked for in your
letter. l had been there on a previ>
GUS day, and the process of funding,
&C., was explained fully to me; but
yesterday [ wanted more accurate
information as to details.
Now, in answer to your first in
quiry, care the bonds being actually
funded % answer, yes; and any re
ports to the contrary are malicious
fabrications, originating in Tennese
see for political purposes. The fund
ing commissioners have receipted for
over S8,000,000 of the old bonds,
and have issued S4,121, 500 in the
new bonds, and are issuing the
others as fast as the clerk can work.
They are receiving the old bonds
much faster than they can audit
them. When lot of old bonds are
received, they give a receipt for
them, showing the number, amount
and series, and this receipt IS taken
up as soon as the old bonds and cou-
pons are compared with the comps
troller's books, Cancelled, and the
new bonds delivered. No mans old
bonds have been or will be received
upon any condition except that of
being cancelled and funded immedi-
atelG into new bonds. This is done
as rapidly as possible.
European bonds have not yet beN
gun to come i'll, but the funding
agency is assured by the agents here
of the foreign holders that their
bonds will be presented for funding
10y the middle Of October.
The agency have only one set OF
books, consequently only one man
can work at a time, and as there are
thirteen coupe is on each bond to be
compared with the books, to see if
they have been paid and are genuine,
! ne process IS sow and tedious one.
For instance, on August %, 346 old
bonds We q pres /. ed. Multiply
this by ID, The number of coupons
on each bond, and consider the en-
tries necessary, and you readily pere
ceive the time and labor required.
Yet the holders of these bonds
had received their new bonds on
yesterday, and the old ones had been
Cancelled.
l NJ ion this simply as an illus
tration.
The bonds have been on the New
York exchange some time, and are
quoted every. Yesterday $4,000 Of
The new bonds were sold at 62f cents,
and more could be sold, but noleers
do not want to part with them, think
ing that they will go higher.
In the Office saw the cancellation
going on, the signatures on the bond
and each coupon being punched out.
A man is kept there for that purpose
alone. 1 saw chest three feet long
by six feet and three feet deep, filled
with the cancelled bonds.
Any reports that the old bonds are
not actually funded and cancelled
are IN rue, and the contrary can be
ascertained here by actual inspec'
ton.
The funding agency expect tc
move to Nashville soon, and return
in October or November, when the
European bonds come in.
L am, yours truly,
JAS. S. FRAZER.

THERE has never been a political
campaign in this district that has at
tracted SO much attention outside as
the present. This grows out
of Houk's unenviable record. It is
a subject of common remark with
those who frequent Washington, that
Houk as Maynard's successor is a
sad commentary on the intelligence
and morality of the people. And it
is a knowledge of these things that
causes Houk's former supporters to
desert him by scores.

When we walked through the pinewoods
green fragrance.
With a carpet OF thatch meath our feet:
The golden rod gilded the meadows
The cardinal famed in its pride,
The gIowed scarlet ana russell
And the a>ters were amethyst-dyed.
With a whirr from its nest in the broom

The startled brown partridge would fly,
And the little grey rogue OF Il squirrel
Peeped down with its restless black eye.
And the musical tinkle of cowbells
Floated soft on the luminous air,
A.. reluctant. the slow-browsing cattle
Turned home from the pasturage fair.
As we walked in the gold of the sunset,
With the heart Of the west all ablaze
From the hope and the promise ofmorn-

Into grey twilights shadowy maze.

That walk which together we took

That rippled. and wimpled, and MUIR

As Il hid meath the culverts rough arch.
Then flashed out like an arrow Of silver

But that day with its sweetness and
