DANA ON LINCOLN.

The Editor of The New York San Gives
 Some of His Keminiscences.
 NEW YORK, June S.-Charles A.. Dana, editor of The Sun, contributes to The Tribune some "reminiscences of. Abraham Lincoln, of which the following is one: ''One side of this extraordinary character was illustrated on the evening of election day in November. The political struggle had been most intense, and the interest taken in it both in the White House and in the war department had been almost pain. full. All the power and infuence of the war department, then something enormous from the vast expenditures and extensive relations of the war, had been employed to secure the reelection of MT. Lincoln; and after the arduous toil of the canvass there was necessarily a great suspense of heart until the result of the vot- ing should be ascertained. I.went over to the war department about S:30 in the even ing and found the president and MT. Stanton together in the secretary's office. Gen. Eckert, who then had charge of the tele- graph department of the war office, was coming in continually with telegrams containing election returns. Mr.. Stan ton would read them and the presi- dent would look at them and comment upon them. Presently there came Hull in the returns, and MT. Lincoln called me up to 8 place by his side. "Dana,n said he, ''have
  leum V. Nasby2" ''No, sir," Isaid. "I have only looked at some of them, and they seemed to me funny'' 'sWen," said he, s'let mo read you a specimen" and pulling out a thin yellow-covered pamphlet from his breast pocket, he began to read aloud. MT. Stan ton viewed this proceeding with impatience, as I could see, but MT. Lincoln paid no atten- tion to that He would read page or a story, pause to con a new election telegram, and then open the book again and go ahead with a new passage. Finally MT. Chase came in and presently MT. White law Reid, and the reading was interrupted. MT. Stanton went to the door and beckoned me into the next room. I shall never forget the fire of his indignation at what seemed to him disgusting nonsense. The idea that when the safety of the republic was thus at issue, when the control of an empire was to be determined by few figures brought in by the telegraph, the chief, the man most deeply concerned, not merely for himself but for his country, could turn aside to read such balderdash and to laugh at such frivolous jests, was to his mind something most repugnant and damn able He could not understand, apparently, that it was by the relief which such humor afforded to the strain of mind under which Lincoln had so long been living, and to the natural gloom of melancholy and despond- ing temperament-this was MT. Lincoln's prevailing CT faracteristic-that the balance and sanity of his intelligence was maintained md 11roSo1.vad

 North I'ole if Necessary.
 OTTAWA, June 10.-Dispatches from Gen. Middleton state that he is following up Big Bear with great difficulty, the trail being in very bad and almost impossible condition, He had been obliged to leave tents behind and send bridging parties ahead to enable he can follow Big Bear wherever he goes Scouts have reported that Big Bear is only twenty miles in advance of the general, whc expects to overtake him to-day.
 In the house of commons MT. Lister in- quired if any steps had been taken with a view to the extradition of Gabriel Dumont, and, if so, what has been done toward that end. If no such steps has been taken, is it the intention Of tEe government to apply for his extradi.ion? Sir John Madonald said it was not usual to notify political felons of the steps the steps that were being taken to secure their punishment.
 MT. Casgrain asked if any particular acts of valor on the part of volunteers were brought under notice, and was it the inten- ton of the government to recommend any of the soldiers to the home government for the Victoria cross or any other reward. Sir John Macdonald replied that the question of rewarding volunteers was a purely military matter.
 FRoG LAKE, Northwest Territory, June 5, via Battleford, Northwest Territory, June l0.-Gen. Strange's column has arrived here. It is making forced marches in order to head off Big Bear, who is thought to be making for Cold Lake, where he has supplies cached. Capts Vallamey and Smiths companies of the Winnipeg light infantry are with Gen. Strange, having arrived from Edmonton. The infantry force, including two companies of the Sixty fifth battalion, numbers about 325 men. The force is badly in need of mounted men, hay ing only thirty-five. Steeles men are with Gen. Middleton, who is following Big Bears trail. The men are in good health and will follow the Indians to the North Pole if nee essary. An Indian cache was discovered near the trail, and fifty sacks of four and thirteen sides of bacon were secured. Scouts who are just in report no signs of the enemy. The weather is wet and cold.

 The campaign of Vicksburg was suggested and developed by circumstances. The elec- tions of 1862 had gone against the. prosecu- tion of the war. Voluntary enlistuazzss had nearly ceased and the draft had n re- sorted to; this was resisted and a defeat or backward movement would have made its execution impossible. A forward movement to decisive victory was necessary. Accord ingly resolved to get below Viclrsburg, unite with Banks against Port Hudson, make New Orleans 8 base, and with that base and Grand Gulf as starting point, move our combined forces against Vicksburg. Upon reaching Grand Gulf, after running it's bat teries and fighting battle, received let ter from Banks, informing me that he could not be at Port Hudson under ten days and then with only B, 600 men. The time was. worth more than the re-enforcements. T therefore determined to push into the in terior of the enemy's country.
 with large river behind us, held above and below by the enemy, rapid H,ovements were essential to success. JesEsso7 was cap- tured the day after 8 new cG.4mander had arrived and when large endorsements were daily expected. A rapid movement west was made, and the garrison of Vicks- burg was met in five battles and badly de- 1eaUed. The clGy was then SuccoSSIuuy De- sieged." ...- .e4. -,--. r-
 No reminiscence of war history will be read with greater interest than Gen. Grants account of his first meeting with MT. Lin coin and MT. Lincoln's charge to him: ..-,,.,
 Although hailing from Illinois myself, the state of the president, had never met MT. Lincoln until called to the capital to receive my commission as lieutenant general I knew him, however, very well, and favor ably, from accounts given by officers under me at the west, who had known him all their lives. l had also read the remarkable course of debates between Lincoln and Douglas a few years before, when they were rival can- didates for the United States senate. I was then a resident of Missouri, and by no means Lincoln man in that contest But recognized then his great ability. ts~s..
 'tIn my first interview with Mr.. Lincoln alone, he stated to me that he had never professed to be military man, or to Know how the campaign should be conducted, and never wanted to interfere in it, but that procrastination on the part of commanders and the pressure of the people at the north and of congress, which like the poor, he had always with him, had forced him into issu- ing his we'll known series of executive orders. He did not know but they were all wrong, and did not know that some of them were All he wanted, or had ever wanted, he said, was that some one would take the responsi- bility and act, and call on him for all the assistance needed"

 QUEENS HANDS.
Who VIII be His SuccessOr?-DOub About the Tories Assuming Power. If They Do, the Marquis of Sails
 bury Will be Premier.

LONDON, June 9.-Mr. Gladstone has an 1ounced in the house of commons the resig- nation of the cabinet London is seething with excitement, and the great victory of ihe publicans is being uproar1ously cele- orated il every public house in the metropo- is. The house of commons was crowded both with m ,mbers and visitors, and if Mon- lays vote had keen repeated the govern nent would have been sustained, owing to he presence of large numbers of Liberals who were sulking, and who, by their absence, turned what they meant for a gentle admo- lition to MT. Gladstone into a crushing de- feat of their party. .-...
 It is now generally believed that the Con- ssrvatives will accept office and that their Iolicy, at least on home affairs, during the next six months, will be one of defense and inactivity. They will make no effort to re- aew the Irish crimes act on the plea that it could not be passed by the present parlia- ment in face of the opposition by Radicals, Parnellites and the Churchill following. They will do nothing in the way of initiating lew legislation, urging the excuse that they ire in a minority in the house of commons. They will thus seek to lessen the burden of responsibility which ths acceptance of office will entail, and their main object will be to provide material for assaults upon the Liberals in the coming campaign and to keep their own armor as whole aS may DC. 1b IS prODaDle that Gn0 general election will be postponed from November until January, which will give both sides more time to adjust themselves to the changed condition of affairs. As to the par Sonnel of the new ministry nothing appears to be settled except that Lord Salisbury will be the premier and that Lord Randolph Churchill will have place in the cabinet. The illness of Sir Stafford Northcote comes At an inopportune time, as it will prevent him from accepting the portfolio that will undoubtedly be offered to him.
 MT, Gladstone will have to make a journey to Scotland to tender his resignation and those of his colleagues to the qneen, as her majesty is still at Balmoral castle. Some critics think that her absence from England at this crisis is timed and that she should return to Windsor.
 1t is impossible to find a single sincere mourner over the fall of the Gladstone min stTy. The occurrence has given rise to grave fears as to the future of the Afghan question and of other foreign complications, but for the deposed ministers themselves there are few words of regret or sympathy. Thelr downfall Is universally regarded as @ subject of jest and satire in view of the fact that, having survived many motions of cen sure on the gravest subjects, they are at last compelled to succumb by offended publicans.
 The Standard Tory organ) insists upon the formation of a cabinet by the Tories should Mir. Gladstone persist in his purpose of re- signing 'Ths Tories" it says, twill not shrink, no matter how fearful the legacy be- Queathe1 by the Gladstone ministry"
