To the Editor of Louisville Courier: 1 suppose you had about come to the con-elusion that I have forgotten my promise to write yon from the United States.

Well, the truth is it is so essentially dull out here, that Hems whereof to make up a good, readable letter, are as scarce as musquitoes this cool October morning. But last Saturday night military art. But he appears to have inherited; but Utile 01 luuaimiij uumuu, stiiution was weak, and early symptoms ot consumption unfitted him for the laborious duties of a military career. Ou Napoleon's return from Elba, in 1815, an attempt was made to remove the young duke to Pans, but frustrated by the Austrian anthoriti-s. He was made a Lieutenant Colonel in 1S31, and commanded a battalion ot Hungarian infantry in the garrisou of Vienna; but his death, when he was but 21 years old, cut him off before he bad reached an age in which he migut have displayed any abilities he possessed.

nTn ui lifetime, he never assumed the title of Xaiwleon IL, jnasmucu as lueaomca-tion of his father, in his favor, was never admitted b' the allies; nor was it ever claimed by the French "Government. But in when the resumption of empire by Louis Napoleon rendered some title necessary, he was considered Napoleon IX, and the new Emperor took that of Napoleon III- The latter title, however, having been'recogmzed bv the several governments of Europe, the recognition of the former is implied. Louis ivn who was supposed 10 have been poisoned oy some person in the Temple at Paris during; the French revolution, aud by others to have escaped, was the son ot" thennfortunaleLouis XVI. and Marie Antionette. It was only recently that a report was circulating in the papers that a gentleman of advanced age bid died iu March, in St.

Petersburgh, who was believed to have been Louis XVII. He was the third child ot Louis and Marie Antiouettc. His first title was Duke ot Normandy, and he became dauphin by the death of his elder brother, Louis Joseph, June 4, 17S9 He was carefully educated uuder the suptrvision of bis rather, and at the outbreak of the revolution was a beautiful, lively, and intelligent child, but remirkably impatient and unriian-ugable. He wsb imprisoned in the Temple with the rest of the royal lamily, August 13, 1792. Alter the execution of his father, January 21, 1793, he was proclaimed King by his uncle, the Couut of Province, who was then a refugee in Germany, aud was iecog-nized as King by most of the Couris of Europe, by the Veudcan chiefs, and by the insurgents in the south of France.

These demonstrations, together with several unsuccessful attempts by the royalists to rescue him from prison, irritated and alarmed the revolutionary government, and on July 3, at 10 o'clock at "night, the boy was forcibly taken from bis mother's arms, and, frantic with terror, was carried screaming to another part of the prison. Here he was consigned to the care of a shoemaker named AutoTne Simon, a violent Jacobin of rough manuers aud brutal temper, who treated him with systematic cruelty, apparently with the design of getting rid of him without committing palpable murder. The young Priucc was shut up in a ceil and left there alone day and night, without employment or amusement, or anv opportunity" for exercise or to breathe the ircsb air. vessel of vat seldom replenished, was given him for drink, and some coarse food was occasionally thrown iu at the half-opein door. He was allowed no means of washing, himself, his bed was not made for six niontLs, and for more than a year his clothes, bisihirt, and his shoes were uot changed.

By prolonged inactivity his limbs became rigid, and his mind, tfirough terror, grief, aud monotony, became imbecile and deranged. Something that he bad said, in reply to questions, having been perverted to the injury ol In? mother, he resolved henceforth to be silent, and tor a long period neither threats, nor blows, nor coaxiugs could induce him to speak. When not sleeping be sat quietly in his chair, without uttering a sound or shed-diug a tear, or shrinking irom the rats, with whfch his dungeon swarmed. Louis, after the reign of terror, was placed under tbecaie more mercilul keepers, but he was still kept in solitary confinement, and not allowed sec his sister, who was imprisoned in an adjoining apartment.

Paul, under the name of Machiati. No man, except the governor, so lar as is known, ever saw his. face, or beard his voice: two peisons, to whom he had conveyed wri'teu words, in oue case marked upon a linen shirt, in the other engraved on a silver plate, died without apparent cause, immediately afterwards. Duriug his conveyance from tho Marguerite Isles, Dc Saint Mars dined at the same table, and slept in the same chamber with him, wiih pistols ever hand ready to destroy him, in the case of au attempt ou his part to reveal biniscii. In the Bastile he was waited on, at the table and his toilet, by the governor, who took charge of aud destroyed all the linen be once used.

THE CHILDREN IN THE TOWER. The amour of Edward the Fourthsuggestcd to his brother, the Duke of luster, afterwards the notorious Richard HI a means of attaining the throb e. He even did not hesitate to malign his own mother, affirming that the resemblance of Edward IV. and of the Duke of Clarence to notorious gallnnts, was a sufficient proof of their spurious birlli. and lhat the Duke of Closter alone, of all his sons, appeared by Ins features aud countenance to be the true offspring of the Duke ol York.

Shakspeare and history have aade the murder of the babes in The Tower a familiar story, as well as thai ol" the numerous pretend'ers, among whom were Lambert Siiunel and Perkin Warbeck, so it is unnecessary to give a recapitulation here. The account of Sir Thomas More, which was collected from the confession ol the murders in the next reign, it as lollows. That Richard had in vain tampered with the governor of the Tower, Brackcnbury to put them to death, but found a ready instrument for the execution of his purpose In Tyrrcl, his master ot horse; that Tvrrel was despatched with a commission to receive the keys of the Tower tor oue night, and that during that night he watched without while one of his grooms accompanied bv a notorious assassin, entered the sleeping" room of the princes, stifllcd them both with feather beds and pillows, and buried their bodies at the foot of Ihe staircase. The testimony of More is almost contemporaneous with the event itself, and is confirmed by the honors which were certainly conferred- upon the alleged murderers. In the reign of Charles IL, when alterations were made in the tower, there was lound at the loot of au old stairway (at present shown to visitors) a heap of decayed bones, which were deemed sufficient that they belonged to the unfortunate Edward V.

Not-withstanding these corroborations, there arc manv among the English nobility who still believe the princes escaped, and one house in Yorkshire claim to be the direct descendants of Edward TOE LAST OF THE 5TUABT3.

A Complete Success Splendid Stock-Six Thousand Persons ou the Grounds Lively Competition anil Great Interest Award of Pienmiins, Iteporled for the Louisville Courier.

Bowling Gheen, Oct. 10, 18G7. This, the third day of the Warren County Agricultural Fair, opened unde- most auspi cious circumstances. A clear sky was overhead, roads divested of dust bv the recent showers were under foot, and an atmosphere, genial and exhilerating, ol just the right temperature prevailed. At an early hour all the reads leading to the fair grounds were thronged with eager v'sirants, and every species of available vehicle was brought into requisition, carrying persona to the attractive exhibition.

By ten o'clock be capacious amphitheater was well filled with the sturdy yeomanry of the soil, the lovely ladies and gallant young men of old Warren, the beauty, fashion, and elite of our growing city, and a large number of visitors trorn the adjacent counties. The exercises of the day commenced with the exhibition of blooded srallious three years old and upward for a premium of $25. There were three entries of as superb horses as there are in Kentucky, the premium being taken by Miles Kelly on the famous blooded horse Commodore. In this ring the stallions two years old and under three, and the stallion colts, were remarkably fine, embracing me best oiood auu stock in me country. The premium colt of Miles Kelley we never saw excelled in any ring.

Then followed Dlooded marcs, three years" old aud upward; two years old and under three, one year old aud under I wo, and marc colts. YV'e venture to affirm tht uu stock has ever been exhibited under this head in Kentucky possessing superior claimsto merit. The premium mare over three years old being a very superior animal, presented to Mrs. Miles Kelley by Gov. Wells, of Louisiana.

Next in order was the Ennis Raybold premium, of 25, for the fastest pacing gelding or mare under saddle. Tbis was a very animated contest, evincing excellent horsemanship and extraordinary speed, the time being two minutes and thirty seconds in a distance of oue mile. The premium was given to W. C. Bayles, of Tennessee.

After this contest Ihe magnificent display of harness stock took place. This embraced stallions 8 years old and upward, 2 years old and under 3, 1 year old ard under 2, and colts. All present conceded the stock on exhibition in this ring equal to that found any-whtre. There were several entries, and the liveliest interest manifested, and the premiums judiciously awarded. The display ot harness mares was excellent, embracing a number ot entries, the conicst being so close i hut it wus difficult to decide which was entitled to the premium.

Next came the sweepstake rings which were the attractive features of the day. In these rings were stallions of any age for general utility, geldiugs or marcs of any age iu harness, pair of harness geldiugs of any age, pair of harness mares of any age or class. better animals than were now exhibited have ever been brought together on any fair grounds in Kentucky. Tbis display elicited the liveliest enthusiasm, aud the ribbons wpre attached amid the acclamations ol the im- iiicnso crowd present. The managers opened a new ring, in which lihfrsii nreininm wfip nfli-rori inr if tockaway horse, best bmrgy horse draught I stallion, mares and colts, "which caused addi- I tioual interest iu the proceedings of the fair.

To the Editor of the Louisville Courier: I am no newspaper reporter, neither am I in the habit of writing for the public prints, and although I have recently attended several of the agricultural fairs, which, in this part of the State, have reflected so much credit upon our people for their industry and enterprise, I have not even been tempted lo lay betore the public anything in the shape of a comment upon passing events, and I do not know that I would ever have ventured to thrust a communication from my pen iuto oue of the daily journals, had it not beeu tor a would be or "BO-called" criticism, that appeared last week in the Lebanon Clarion, sigued in which the writer undertakes to ridicule the Lebanon Dramatic Club, who kindly tendered a series of eveuintr entertainments to enhance the enjoyment of visitors during the week of thv first fatr held iu Marion couuty. mis new-ooru crmc aner a tew preliminaries begins by tfivlng the young gentlemen who personated Jeremy Didler, in the well known laree of "Raisinsr the Wind" a "using up." tie or she says: "Didler uavc some the tidgcts yet the character was well represented some scenes."

His rapid transition out of oue scrape iuto another was acted with surprising skill, and it is therefore uot to be wondered at that he threw a novice (such as Cosmopolite certainly is) in such matters, into the tidsets. To an old stager like myself it was really rt- Ireshiug to find, tn a comparatively obscure dramatic club, sncn genius, "iiarrvm; Fortune might have been immured a little uillercut and with better clleci." true, it the Lebanju Dramatic Club possessed the facilities ol scenery, gas liirht and other appointments that belong to established theaters, the "Country Cousin" and the -'Real Lie. acted as they were ty Misses Kuott auu ivavanaugu, would nave wreathed, ttie brows of those yountr ladies with never ladiuir laurels, as it Jis, the nrtiBlie attitudes of the one, aud the matchless grace and diiruity of the other will never be forgotten by those who witnessed their acting.

7th. When the news or Leo's surrender reached Washington, in that happy time of national reioicin" which the assassin's hand cut off, so sharniv a da or two later, a intniaut crowd flocked around the White House to call on the President, whose words of sadness, of hope, of encouragement and high resolve nad given voice to tue people nearis on less cheerful occasions of the war. The speech which Mr. Lincoln then made short appropriate, full ot feeling and of wisdom was one of his best efforts, and the circumstance of its being his last public words and so soon lollowed by his murder, caused it to be especially prized and remembered by the public afterwards. As the President slowly and impressively read the sentences which sketched out his probable plan of restoration, a gay party ot ladies filled the window next to that from which he spoke.

Regarding the crowd with its glaring torchlights as a mere spectacle this company chaited and laughed with almost boisterous animation, until the noise quite drowned the voice 01 the speaker, with patience at first, because iu the chief offender, gorgeously dressed as for an evening party, the crowd recognized the wife of the Chief Magistrate they bad come to honor, this unseemly interruption at length became intoleiabie; and the sharp hiss of rebuke from a hundred tongues brought silence. The President paused in surprise, thinking that some word of his own had callPd forth the unwonted demonstration: but a glace showed that no disicspeet to him was inteuded, and with an expression of pain and mortincation which came over his face as if such strokes were uot new, he resumed his reading. Special Dispatch to the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph Washington. Oct. 4.

The disclosures concerning Mrs. Lincoln's alleoed destitution. and her efforts fo sell portions of her wardrobe, excite much comment here, but do not surprise people, as her extravagant habits while at the White House were matters of common notoriety; but how.she has managed to squander the twenty five thousand dollars votca her bv Congress in less than two years is a mystery to who cannot credit the statement The interest alone of this mm, if properly invested, would have beeu sufficient to have suoported her comfortably during her lifetime. It is known that Mr. Lincoln left nearly fifty thousand dollars to her at his death, aud the sale of his property in Illinois alter uui ueuiu uiougui a considerable sum 01 money.

U'toni the Philadelphia Telegraph, Radical, In the Evenint: Telesranh nf vesterd.iv wr published the correspondence between Mrs. Lincoln and Mr. Bridy iu full. The above covers all the additional particulars, collected by a corps of Jenkinses, upon the subject. 2t will be remembered that Mrs.

Lincoln denounces only Raymond, Seward, Weed, and Wakeman as uugratefnl Republicans As these men have all left that party. ourRadic.il fri-nds may iest easr under the anathemas of Mrs. Lincoln. She says, moreover, that she still loves the Republican party. We do uot wUh to speak about this sad aud diseraceful affair at length, but as leading Democrats have made this exposure lor party capital, we feel it a duty to notice it thus lar.

That Mrs. Lincolu is not tre iting he tnends of her late husband ustly may be seen in the fact that nearlv all the articles offered tor sale were orcsented to her by admirers aud partisans of the lamented Liueolu, ber husband, as tokeus of their love and respect fur him.

I-rom the bprmgfleld Republican. CRad.) That dreadful woman, Mrs Liueolu.

who in the opeu market with her useless finery, will not let the people either forget her or remember her only with respccCas the widow a beloved patriot and reveied President, as Uiey would ue glad to do, but persists iu forcing her repugnant individuality before the world, to the great mortification of the nation, aud the scandal of all real iriends ol husband, in order to drive a better bargain with her jewels and clothes, she has written various vulgar aud unwomanly letters, and caused them to be published in the New York papers The gentleman to whom the goods were sent tried to persuade her to withdraw them, but without avail, aud then to get prominent Republicans to take them privately at such prices as would satisfy her demands. This also failing, she instructed him to put them before the public, as hers. From the Cleveland Herald, Rad. Our readers in perusal of the article we copied from the New York World, will agree in this, that tbc disclosure made there is very indelicate on the part of Mrs. Lincoln, and sadly discreditable to that person; for, ol course, the private letters there spread out arc published with the consent oftke writer.

No persou would be justified in dragging Mrs. Lin-coin before Mic public, and in probing the domestic affairs of the White House, so far as she was instrumental in their administration; but Mrs Liueolu has herself come betoreithe world, appealing to the public lor sympathy, and if lhat appeal iesults iu disclosures damaging to herselt she can alone bu held responsible therefor. It has been believed that charity and oblivion were the cloaks that should cover Mrs. Lineolu's career as of the White House, and a generous public has been willing such should be the ease; but if Mrs. Lincoin will uot permit it, ou her own ueaJ must lie the consequences.

Congress has been charitable, too, for it is well known thai investigation has been suppressed through regard lor H13 feelings of that lady. But wc hope that nothing will now be kept secret, and that we may know the whole truth in the premises let the scalpel of investigation cut where it may. A lady whose eaily life was one of very simple indulgences, and whose sphere was one of very limited circumierenec, suddenly raised to the possession ol an income of $1,700 per year. with a profusion of shawls ranging Irom $75 with dress patterns costing 4,000, with flounce worth $150, a parasol costing $250, aud a handkerchief valued at SSO. wiih diamond rings to match, cannot expect plain, economical people ro believe herwheu she complains of being pressed for means ot common subsistence.

The facts are just these: Judge Davis, Lincoln administrator, reported that the estate was worth $75,000. Congress gave Mrs. Lincoln the. President's unexpired ycais salary, and also gave her $55,000 besides, the same as was allowed ihe late Mrs. Gen.

Harrison. Congressman Wentworth pressed Mrs. Lincoln's claim tor one hundred thousand dollars, but Congress did uot think such a gift justifiable. There arc other tacts that should see the light, and would explain Mrs. Lincoln's prcseot straightened circumstances.

Among such tacts is tbis, that a bill for some $15,000 for jewelry purchased by Mrs. Lincoln was presented to Congress and disallowed, and the secrets of that committee could divulge most remarkable items that thruayh Mrs. Lincoln were presented for payment. We hope these things will be made publie, and that it also maybe known what the forty huge boxes sent to Chicago from the White House, alter ihe death of Mr. Lincoln, contained.

Let the country know the tact that it requued an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars to make good the spoliation at the White House, and let it be proved who had the benefit 01 such plundering. PART II, Comments ot the Democratic Press. from the Xw York Citizen, fcth.l The letters arc all but a confession that the political favors and places obtained and giveu away by Mrs. Lincoln's influence with her husband, were regarded by that lady in the. light of personal perquisites, to be disposed of either for presents or for flattery, as fhc whim might se ze her.

She can now go only one step further. Let her take up each present, state from whom received, and, further, label it with a memorandum of the probable profits iu place, or on some shoddy contract, or permit to buy cotton, which the presenter must have netted. In this manner we think it might be found that the actual value returned by Mrs. Lincoln's influence to a gentleman who presented ber with a carriage and a pair of horses certainly uot costing over $2,000, all told must have been in the vicinity of at least four hundred thousand dollars, aud very likely a similar exhibit might show that every shawl, and dress, aud article of jewelry in her collection, must have been paid tor (finally by the country) at the same extravagant rate. tFrom the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Wc had hoped when ihe Congress, for the sake of our character as a people, had silenced inquiries as to the conduct ot Mrs. Lincoln while she occupied the White House. that she would, alter she had left it, never emerge from her retirement.

The list of the art icles comprising the same does no less. Her threats of exposure, made against certain individuals in the Republican party, show thcso expen sive articles of apparel were distinctly the price ol polifical favors at her hands. She applies to the leaders of that party in New York for relief, and they turn a deaf ear to her.

Disgusting', intolerably, and shocking as were these affairs, they were legitimate outgrowth of the party which rules the country. What this Radicalism has done to defile public places, to disgraceusin the estimate foreign nations, to lower the standard of virtae among women and integrity among men, is beyond all calculation.

The whole country reeks with its abominations. The demoralization has penetrated every department of life. The countiug-room, the fireside, fbe altar, have not been exempt. Men who were onee honest above suspicion uow deem it a merit to overreach the Government. Women ouce above reproach, canned away the stream of demoralization, uow throug the divorce couris, crowu bagnios, or engage clandestine amours.

The standard ot womanly modesty has been lowered fifty per cent, all over the laud.

The Congressional Sub-committee on Elections, appointed at the last session of Congress to inquire into the loyalry or disloyalty of Congressmen elect from Kentucky, arrived in this city last night while the battery of cannon were pealing forth the general joy ou the recent victories in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Tucy were to have proceeded to business to-day but were delayed by the non arrival of a member of the committee, which now consists of Messrs.

Schofield, of Pennsylvania, Cook, of Illinois, Kerr, of Indiana, aud Upson, of Michigan. They will proceed to take testimony to-morrow in a parlor at thePutenix Hotel, engaged for the purpose. The following Congressmen elect from this State, are present. Messrs. Young, of the Mavsvilte district; Jones, of the Covington district, and Beck, of this district.

An erroneous opinion prevails that this is the committee that was appointed to inquire whether or not Kentucky enjoyed a republican form of government, but such it a mistake. Vhey are to confljic their attention strictly to the consideration of the loyaltp of the members. Mr. Beck has not been informed who are to appear as witnesses against him, or. in tact, whclb-eranyatall will be lorth coming.

It is thought by tborc who have spoken wiih of the committee, that his claim will not be contested. Sam McKcc the "Irooly loll" is on hand to pre sent evidence against and contest the loyalry of Judge Young. The latter supposing McKee would procure testimouy of the same notori ous character as that presented by him last winter at Washington to-daydemanded the names of his witnesses, that he might have the opportunity of impeaching their word. McKee refuses to give the names, and Young thereupon appealed to the committee, which sustained McKee's action. It is not yet determined whether the proceed ings will be publie or otherwise.

It is thought, bowevur, they will he privately conducted. -Each ot the Congressmen elect will appear per sonalty and not by attorney. The investigations will continue through the cmlug week, and the committae will then proceed to Louisville.

IFrom the New York Tribune, Radical. Justice to Lincoln The fact lhat the widow of Abraham Lincoln recently visited our city, with intent to sell hcreeertain shawls, dresses, laces, and jewelry, the relics ot her happier days, has excited a paiuiu. sensation. Wc do not envy the journalists who have reen fit to eive publicity to the letters and memo-vitnda whereby those kIics were advertised. It seems to us that our people have beeu less than just to Mr.

Lincoln. We know how easily the dead are forgotten, and that gratitude has been aptly defined as a lively sense of iavors "expected But we do uot plead tor gratitude. The widows of lie officers and solidiers slain in their country's (le'euse receive pensions, not in recognition of special merit on their part, nor yet as alms, but as some poor recompense tor their sacrifices for their country's preservation. And no soldier ever 1 ell on a battle-field more truly a martyr than was Abraham Lincoln. The bullet that killed him was impelled by no private hate.

As a man, he had no enemy on earth; as President only, was his death meditated or desired. Had he remained a private citizen, he woul.i, 1 all human probability, have beeu living today. iu view of these facts, it docs seem to us that the payment of his salary for the term on wbicii be had just entered was no more than his righteous due. He had been overwhelmingly re-elected. He bad entered upon bis second term of service He had a right to calculate upon the salary by law affixed to the oflice.

Had he died by disease, it uiiaht have sufficed to pay his family one year's salary, as iu the case of President Harrison. Bur, struck down like Mr. Lincoln was, not merely while he was President, but because he was President, we think the people should have made up the four yeais' salary to bis family-should Htill muke it up. We gave our mite to thi? end directly after his death. Wc are willing to give airaiu.

All must know that a President's widow, especially the widow of one who had run so great a career, cannot live so cheaply as a seamstress. She will be sought, and must receive company. Can we uot still be just, as a people, to Abraham Liucoln's family From the Chicago Tribune, Radical. There is no question but Mrs. -Lincoln in straighiened circumstances.

She states that her tucomc is but per annum, which is wholly inadequate to support her and her minor sou in a style suitable to her station in society. She owns a comfoi table dwelling 00 West Washington streut of this Uy, which wc believe Ts paid for, but which tbe is unable to retain, aud it has been 0 tiered for sale tor some time past. Last summer she sold her carriage aud horses, and a large part of her furniture at a sacrifice, and spent rhc remainder ot the season in a neighboring town on ihe shore ot the lake, in close seclusion Indeed, ever since she came to this city to reside, she has shut herselt out from all society, declining to icc ivc visits ol condolence aud sympathy fron'i ladies whose husbands had enjoyed personal friendship ot Mr. Lincoln durmg his liletime. She has lived a recluse life, brooding over her teivib'e bereavement, refusing to be comforted, consoled or approached.

Our citizens knew that she re sided in Chicago, but she was never seen, and her ptcituiary circumstances were wholly unknown except by vague rumor; and if she mentioned it to auy one it was under the injunction ot secresy, aud no public use could be made of the informal ion. The New York World says that "she complains bitterly that men who besought her influence to secure their official positions, and were prolusc with promises ifsjc would gratify their wishes, uow give her the cold shoulder." Of the justice ot tbis complaint we know nothiug, except that we never met a man who held oilice under Mr. Liucotn who intimated he was aware of her pecuniary embarrassments, or desire for aid. Then1 may have been some such, but the number was small enough to keep the secret, even from the ears of Dame Rumor. It is hardly tair to charge the Republican parly wiih indifference or lack of feenug, or tho3e who received official favors at the ban sof Mr.

Lincoln with ingratitude, or of giving his widow the "cold shoulder," when in fact they have been ignorant of her necessities. But now that the seal is broken and the injunction of si'Crcsy removed, there will be no excuse for tion-acliou or neglect. The widow ot President Lincoln must have a competence. She si 0 tld be rendered able to keep yutt live in uer uwa nouse comiort tor the rest of her das. Congress ought to have appropriated to the widow and her children the sum th.it Lincoln would have received had he uot been assassinated.

Tais would have been little enough. It was a very niggardly piece of husiuess to give them but leu months and twenty clays' salary an act that never received ttie sanction 01 tue puunc conscience, rue blame rests in part, perhaps, ou tuosc who brought the resolution forward, for not prop erly presenting tue marier oeiore tue legislative body. We trust that the Illinois delega tion, irrespective ot party, at tue ensuing session of Congress, will iuist upon an ap propnation ot tueresidueot the salary which President Lincoln would have received had lived out his teim. Aud, in the mean time, the trteuds and admirers of Mr. Lincoln and who received favois at his bands, can testify to their respect tor his memory and appreciation of the bcuefits be conferred upon tti em ny inamug up purses 01 greenbacks and lowarding them to the widow without delay.

There need be no fear of giving too much or too soon. Having partea with household turnuure ana uow oiienug her rdrobe for sale to procure the necessaries of life aud means to euueate her boy, it is high lime that she received relief. It would be a disgrace on the American people to allow this state ol things to con-I tin tie after they became aware of it. The Legislature of Illinois voted the widow of nator uouglass a larger sum than the Con gress of the nation appropriated to tbc wid ow ot our martyred President. From the Chicago Republican, Radical.

Mrs. Lincoln The New York Tribune, commenting: on the scandalous action of Mrs. Lincoln, reads the country a lecture upon its ingratitude, and say: "All know that a President widow, especially the widow ot one who hail run so great a career, cannot live so cheaply as a seamstress. She will be sought, aud must receive company." Lni'or- tnnali'ly, the lacrs are, Airs. Lincoln is not sought, und does not receive company; and, so lar as can be ascertained, Mrs.

Lincoln had ample means wiih which to live as comiorta- bie and as goeu any womanthough President Lincoln's widow would desire or need to receive company. Wc do uot regard it as indicative of any want of respect or revet euce for the memory of Abraham Lincoln ou the part of the people that his widow, who seems to be wanting in all the true Instincts and delicacy which belong to worthy women, is uot furnished with all ihe money may desire to spend or squander. Distasteful as it is to write in this wav of anv wornau, and much more of the widow ol a man endeared to ihe people of the count rv bv the memory of his most emincut services and matvrdom, the truth is better said, and plainly. The people have no lor a woman who has neither sufficient respect for the memory of her husband, nor for herself and her family, to restrain her from seeking such notoriety us the past few days have given her.

11, 1SG7. 7b the Editor of the Loi'lsvllle Courier: The election news yesterday electrified our town. Soon all was excitement and cougrat-ulatioa. Beamiutr faces were seen everywhere; the people for once since the war looked happy; every Democrat shook hands with every other Democrat, and the real good old times seemed to have come again ouce more. In the afternoou a battery of artillery was secured trom the Agricultural College, and then a larrc and enthusiastic proccssiou, headed by Saxton's Band, marched down to the Frankfort depot to receive an lS-pouuder from the Fnvukinrt arsenal, while domestic cannon, improvised lor the occasion trom anvils, sent up peal after peal irom the courthouse yard.

At Uight the city was literally wild with excitement. Bonfires blazed most democratically, artillery thundered most patriotically, the people shouted aud hurrahed as they have not done since the war began the ticuuiue Old Kentucky-Jefferson-Jackson-Hickory shout. Saxton's baud blew Dixie and the Star Spangled Banner all to pieces, anvils pealed, pistols cracked, crackers popped, rockets blazed, drums beat aud the confusion of the geucral joy evinced how much the hearts ol the people were affected by the glorious news. Never have I seen such au awakening. Never bve.

I seen the people more deeply moved. The great heart ot Lexiugtoi- aud all Kentucky beats iu swelling harmony lo the grand triumphal march that the Northern Democracy is playing. And who could not tunc rejoice. Justice has at last unsheathed her avenging sword. A political simoon, "red with uncommon wrath," and as destructive as it was sudden, ha; swept over the broad acres 01 radicalism and "blasted the wretches, who owe their greatness to their country's ruin." Already fat with unholy spoils, drunk with blood, and crazy with malice, these good men, these New England these pious, holy patriots, were just looking lorward to their crowning glory of negro suff.age aud impeachment, when the fiery bolt of destruction descended without a warning; upon them.

And now that the work is begun, may it never cease till every strutting shoulder-strap is bauiehed from the suffering South. May it on till every shoildvite. ueeroite robber of the people, per jured judge or legislator is stripped of all power for evil; till white men only become rulers of this land, till provinces become Suites, aud men of virtue, honor aud honesty direct ihe vital interests of the uatiou.
