To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
The scandal Of theater ticket speculation is
being carried to q great excess. All the house
has been bought up for the Elks benefit on
Thursday, and applicants for tickets at the ad-
vertised places are referred to spectators. 1t
Is the same, practically, with the Ideal opera
troupe. This abuse cannot be carried to such
an excess without the collision of the theaters,
and a little healthy boycotting on the part OF

A TWICE-TOLD TALE.
Ex-Secretary Usher Repeats the Story Of.
Lincoln's Desire to Purchase Peace.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30.-The Globe Democrat will
print. editorially, the following interesting fact in
connection with President Lincoln and the wa-
"a number Of personal friends were discuss
ing some incidents of the late war. One of
lnem spoke OF Mr.. Lincolns aversion to blood
shed, and in illustration said that he
had II from a member of the Cabinet
OF the war period that Mr.. LincolH
on his return from the Hampton Roads
conference, in February, 1866, proposed TO his
Cabinet to submit a message to Congress, giving
to the Southern States an amount Of money
equal TO the probable cost of the war from that
time to its close, on condition of their laying
down arms and returning to their loyalty to the
Union. The editor of the Globe Democrat, hear
ing of the conversation, sent a memorandum,
of 1t to Hon. John P. Usher, who was,
at the time referred to. Mr.. LincolnIs
Secretary of the Interior, and is now a resident
of Lawrence, Kan, requesting him to state his
recollection as to its correctness. From Mr..
Usher's reply, which was received yesterday, we
make the ~following~e extract:
"'Soon after his (Lincoln's) return from the
James, the Cabinet was convened
and he read to him for approval, a
message which he had prepared to be submitted
TO Congress, in which he MINER that
Congress appropriate $500, 900. 900, to be oppor-
toned among the several States in proportion to
slave population, to be distributed to the holders
of slaves IN those States, upon condition that
they would consent to the abolition of slavery
and the disbanding of the insurgent army. and
would acknowledge and submit 10 the laws
of the United States. The members of
the Cabinet were all opposed. He seemed some
what surprised at that, and asked: How long
will the war lastf' No one answered, but he
soon said: IA hundred days. Well, we are
spending now, in carrying on the war, So, DOC. 00e
q day, which will amount to all this money, be-
sides all the lives" With a deep sigh he added,
but you are all opposed to me and l will not
send the message"

THE VIRGINIA CANVASS.

The Share Taken i'm the Conduct of 1t by Sena-
tor Malone.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Golf the Republican
ticket is elected in Virginia next week said an
Old Dominion politician to-day, 1.-The very great
est credit should inure to Senator Malone. He
is the head and brains of the party in his State.
| mean that he is occupying that position at
present, and has been all during the present
canvass. There is no Republican State central
committee in Virginia. All the directions ema-
nate from Senator Mahone's residence. His
Office is the political workshop. 1t is heaped
with kilograms, letters, and bill-posters.
There clerks are employed, and all the work
usually performed about a State central com
mittee is done-all under the direction of
the little Senator. He is quick and far-seeing.
He knows the details and the generality of pol
itics much better than any man in the State.
He has at his tongues end the names OF the
leaders Of almost every township in the State,
and has perfect schedules and statistics to which
he can refer and answer any question one can
conceive of. What Mr.. Blaine had in the way
of reports, nationally, in February of last year.
and later and preceding the national convention,
Senator Malone now has in the politics of Vir-
gaia. It Is al unuer his thumb. If he fails he
can tell why. If he succeeds he will know all
about how it was done.

A scandalous Affair at Fort Wayne.

Specia! to the indianapolis Journal.
Fort WAYNE, Oct. 30.-Last evening Justice
of the Peace Ryan was called to marry Mr..
Michael S. Wickliffe, ex-deputy treasurer of this
(Allen) county, and the divorced wife of Lem
Clark, proprietor of the Oliver House, a place
which has been frequently pulled" by the po-
lice. and the Clark woman and her '1ady board
ers" fined in the Police Court, the one for keep
ing a house of ill-fame and the others for being
inmates. The wedding is the last act of a social
scandal which has set the town agog for weeks.
Five hours before the wedding Wickliffe's wife,
a true and honest lady, was granted q divorce
from him on the grounds of adultery with Mrs.
Clark, and a deposition of the latter was read in
court by which she admitted to taking a
an extended trip East with Wickliffe in Septem-
Der. Clark, her husband. had previously been
granted a divorce on the ground of her adultery
with Wickliffe, on the same trip. Wickliffe was
not present at the divorce proceedings; while his
wife and two little children wept in the court
room he was busy arranging the details of his
next marriage. The prominence of the man in
Democratic political circles has hitherto kept the
press of the city from writing of this affair in
the light of the facts. To-day it is the sensation
of all the dailies. Wickliffe was the pet candi-
date for the position of county treasurer at the
next election, and his popularity seemed to have
assured his success. To his first wife and
children the court gives his property, and it is
said his new wife brings him more than suff-
Gent to compensate for the financial loss. Mrs
Clark Wicklitfe has two grown sons.
