THE VISION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
April IA, 1866.


BY WENDELL PHILLIPS GARRISON.
rat the Cabinet meeting held the morning ct
the assassination. ;. General Grant was present,
and during z a lull in the conversation the Presl.
dent turned to him and asked If he had heard
from General Sherman. General Grant replied
chat he had not, but was in hourly expectation
Of receiving dispatches from him announcing
the surrender Of Johnston. Well SAID the
President, you will hear very soon now, and the
news will be important. II had dream last
night. and ever since the war began have In
yariably had the same dream before any lmpor-
tant military event occurred. 1t IS IN your
line too, MIR. Welles. The dream il that saw q
ship sailing very rapidly. Si1
Months ut the White House,
Dreaming he woke, our martyr President,
And still the vision fingered in his mind
problem at once and prophecy comblned)-
A flung bark aoith all her canuas bent =
Joy-bringing herald of some great event,
Oft when the wavering scale OF war inclined
To Freedoms side; now how to be OWNED
Uncertain since Rebellion's force was spent.
SO, Of the omen heedful as of Fate,
Lincoln with curious eye the horizon scanned:
At morn with hopes of port and peace elate:
AT night like Palinurus-in his hand
The broken tiller of the Ship of State
Flung on the margin of the Promised Land.

How the President Receives.

Wash. Cor. New York Herald.
The President makes all his visitors
feel at home. He seems to make
every one think that he is specially
glad to see them. Though to the ordi.
nary observer it looks as if he shakes
the hands of all who present them.
selves the same way, he does not, and
many of them go away with the inns
preston that they were specially
favored in the way their hand was
shaken. Ladies are always highly
pleased with the way the President
receives them. He never seems to
pay any attention to their attire or
appearance, all, rich and poor, being
cordially received, though it has been
noticed that in the cases of aged ladies,
and, indeed, aged men, be makes extra
efforts to convince them that he is glad
to receive their calls.

Cleveland's Coming Message.

New YORK, Oct. 31.-A Washing
ton dispatch to the World referring
to the forthcoming presidential mes
sage says The Administration will
take very positive ground upon the
financial question. Mr.. Jordan and
Mr.. Manning will recommend in
their reports the suspension of the sill
yer coinage. The President will en-
dorse their views. Mr.. Jordan will
be able to show in his report that
$42,0O0,000 have already been lost in
the attempt to force silver into circu-
lation. 1t is understood that the pol
icy of the Treasury Department will
be against any further calling in of
bonds. 1t is held that it is not good
financiering to reduce the national
debt which bears interest of only
per cent. when the current rate is 6.

unusually complete, and much attention is
paid to the prospects of the crops, as throw.

GREEN APPLES.

Two weeks ago we suggested the
propriety of fruit growers in this and
other mountain counties holding their
green apples until there was better
demand for them. The weather has
been favorable and those who have
carefully gathered and protected their
apples are in a condition to hold them
until they are wanted. Although the
markets are still oversupplied and
prices yet very low, it will probably
not be long until the demand will
improve. At present they cannot be
profitably disposed of in any way
that we can think of, and the best
and only way we can see, is to care
fully take care of them until they are
wanted. Shippers should hold up
shipping until the Oversupply South
is consumed, and then not shipin ex-
cess of demand. Prices are almost
sure to be better a little laSer. Take
care of them until they are worth
something.

Meat Market.

Mr.. J. S. Maddux, the old reliable
butcher, has opened a regular meat
market in the stove and tin house of
Frank Maddux, on East Main street,
where he will keep atall times good
supply of beef, pork and sausage, and
requests a call from all who want
fine, fat and well butchered meats.
He wishes all to understand, how
ever, that his terms are cash, and all
who are now indebted to him are
urged to come forward and settle i'm
mediately.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
Democracy Victorious in Both New
York and Virginia.

The election in New York last
Tuesday resulted in the election of
the Democratic State ticket by about
$4,000 majority, though both branches
Of the State legislature were captured
by the Republicans.
In Virginia Fitzhugh Lee, Demo-
crat, was elected Governor by a ma
iority approximating $4,000, and the
Legislature is largely Democratic, in
both branches, thus insuring the re-
tirement of Mr.. Malone, and the
election of a Democratic United States
Senator.
In Maryland the Democrats were
also victorious, electing good working
majorities in both branches of the
Legislature.
Massachusetts, goes Republican by
about 10000 plurality for Robinson,
for Governor, with a Democratic gain
of severalmembers in the Legislature.
In Mississippi there was no Repub-
lican ticket in the field. The Demo-
cratic State ticket had no opposition.
The Republican State ticket in
Iowa is elected by $4,000 to 10000.
In Connecticut the election was
for members of the Legislature only.
The Democrats made gains, but the
Republicans still have a good work
ing majority.

LAST Wednesday, Senator Sherman
opened the Ohio campaign for the Re-
publicans, by addressing monster open
air meeting at Mount Gilead. 1t was a
vigorous speech, in Sherman's best style,
and was eagerly listened to and heartily
applauded. He said, among other things:
The line drawn between the two par
ties is now as distinct as it was before
the war, but we occupy different field
of battle. Then we fought for the
preservation of the union, and, as a
means to that end, for the abolition of
slavery. Now the Union is saved and
slavery is abolished, we fight for the
equal political rights of all men and the
faithful observance of the constitutional
amendments We are FOR the exercise of
national authority for the preservation of
rights conferred by the constitution, and
upon this broad issue we invite CO.
operation from the south as we'll as the
north. X X
We also believe that it is the right and
duty of the government by its CONNER
cial laws and regulations to foster and
protect American industry, to diversity
the employments of its people, and build
up its manufactures, to aid its ships and
shipping, and, generally, by its CONNER
cial and tax laws. to develop new forms
of industry and give new employments
to labor This line of demarkation
between the two parties is constantly
shown in the action of their members
of Congress.
