i. tef Mrs. Lincoln's Destitution. The following is published as an inventory of the articles presented to the wife of the late President Lincoln during the Presidential service of her husband, which she complains her present destitute circumstances constrain her to have sold at auction, and which she has consequently sent to Mr. Brady, a broker in New York, for the purpose.

It will be seen below that they are valued at $24,000 1 black centre camels' hair shawl, $1500 I white centre camels' hair shawl, 1200 1 white centre camels' hair shawl, 410 1 black centre camels' hair shawl. 350 1 red centre camels' hair shawl, square 10 small shawls, square 50 hite Paisley shawl, 75 hite Paisley shawl, square superfine point black lace shawls, $3o0, $500, $1500 2 superfine point black lace shawls $4 white point lace shawl, 1 white point lace dress, umnade 41,00 I white point lace flounce 150 1 white point lace parasol cover 250 1 white point lace I Russian sable cape 1540 1 Russian sable 1200 Also, many other articles, including diamond rings, etc. We make an extract from one of her letters, as follows: CucAnco, September 24, 1867. 11 II1.I Brady, necessities of life are upon me, urgent and imperative. andl I ant scarcely removedl hroi, want-so different from the lot my lovinig and devoted husband would have assigned me-and I lindl myself left to struggle for my.self I am compelled to pursue the only course left me -imimeuliitely within the next week to sell these goods, and if not isholly disposcld of by Wednesdaiy, October 30, on that dby please sell them at auction, after advertising very largely that they are imy goods.

Very respectliully, ircs. A. t1.1iCi.N. The last letter of which will be made at this time is the following September 2. II11 I Brads, --I have reflected upon your remarks, and have concluded to leave everything to your good judgment and excellent sense.

My great, great sorrow and loss have made me painfully sensitive; but as Iiy fRlelintgs and pecuniary comfort were never regarded or even recognised inl the inidst of my overwhlelitig bereavement, now that. I am pressed in a mtost startling mannlller for means of commion subsistence, 1 dlo not know why I should shrink i'om an opportunity of improving tie trying position. Being assured that all you do will be appropriately executed, and in a manner that will not startle ne very greatly, and excite as little cioniuent as possille, again 1 shall leave all in your hands. I ami passing through a vete painful ordeal, which the coutitry, ii remembrance of my noble and elevaitd hushand, should have spared mie. I remain, with great respect, very truly, MIuS.

LISxOI.N. I'. you that my goods have been valued at I will be willing to make a reduet Lion of oU000, and relinquish them for infive twenties-nothing less. If this is not accompllshed, I will continue to advertise very largely until every article is sold. I must haie means to live, at least in a itedium comfortable.

Ys. From the N. Y. Tite excluive publicatio in Thursday's World of ivrs. Lincoln's correspondence iith her agent in this city in regard to the sale of her wardrobe, has created a great flutter in circles flshionable as well as political.

SYesterday thie rooms of M.r. Braidy, i09 lloadway, were filled nearly all day by ladies and gentlemen, who cameti to look at thell goods dtli-played for sale under such ititortuunate circumitances.e The people could hardly recoolcile the unimpeachable accuracy of the with such a state of facts, and hundreds eani on simple missions of inquiry to go away satisfied that there was inore truth than poetry in thie stateIent. D)uring the day three 1nited States Senatto I whose amnies, by request, we withhold, called to see Mir. Brady, and on just such a hnis-ion. A large umni1 her of lettesi ftlo all parts of the countiry have also been rece ive- by Mr.

Brady, asking to know the truth, and imaking indignant protests against tIru tting a torced con rnmation of Mrs. Licln's plans. The sales ieterdau did not exceetd .15, notwith standiig the large itnilumir of ladies that called. Many no doubt were prompted by curiosity, after exam- I ining the goods to their s.atisllction, retired without purchasing. Among those aho called were the wives and of severtl prominent merchants.

As previously announced, if the greater pa of the inventory is ot disposed of within a few days, they will be put up at auction and for what they will bring. From the Commercial Advertiser, Oct 4 1 WaHT Tuni.ow les To S.vy-Fiurthr iRtcelation s-Jlr. Licta is have never pproached a question with half tile sorrow that this one awakens. To vindicate, shi.tld and protect Ieaven' i bet, gilft to uiea" is a grateful duty, while to even reproe, and mnuch Inore to assail a wollitan, is painful, and if without a perfect justification, unmanly. If the American Congress or the Americar people have thiled to meet the pecuniary expectations of Lincoln's widow, it is because thatt personage I failed, during his lile and since his death, to inspire either with respect or confildence.

They should not, i therefore, be sunljetced to the reproach, or rest under the imputation, of ingratitude. IIid Mr.s. Lincoln, while in power, borne herself Ibecomingly, the sugges- i tion of a Lincoln ftitnd, by voluntary contributions, would hare been promp'ly respondede to. The national heart was wai m. It gushed out in liberal eniow ments for Grant and Farragut.

It woutl as cheerfully have met thie appeal iin favor of Mrs. Lincoli if it hatd tot intuitively closed and chilled. In her conversations Mrs. Lincoln is represented asn bitterly denouncing Secretary Seward, for which, of course, Ihele is no warrant or excuse, for lie wrongs I no man, and much less is ihe capable of iijustice, wronlg or even ukintless to woman. i But we happen to knlow--tle late Caleb Smith, i then Secretary of the Interior, being our informanta fact which incensed Mrs.

lincoln against Mr. Seward. i Thie PIresident gave the P'rinie Napoleon a dittier, for nwhich Mrs. Lincoln sent to the Secretary of the Interior for ipayment of a hill of some .900. The though wholly illegal, coming from the Presidents iv wife, enliariassed the Secretary, who called upon the Secretary of State for advice, where lie learned that i i Ar.

Seward haI tnl ditetd the I'rinct, ihaving the same numrber of guests, and giving them a duplicate of the dinner at the Whie llouse. In tact, IMr. Seward ordered both -dinnerst frotili the same restaitrant, and by his own Iill knew the cost of each. F'or what Mr. I Seward paid Mrs.

Lincoln dlemanded I900). But whether three or niie hundred, the elaim was alike illegal, ami could not be paid. this, however, Lincoln quarreled with Secretaries Smith and This amount, however, was subsequently covered up ill the gardener's account, but occaionltdl t. which respect for Mr. Lincoin measurably it aiqipp eesscd.

Though Irt Lincoln left an estate which enabled his famit to live quite as eofoot tably as they hadit ever Congress and the people would have promptly and cleierfully pirovided muniticently for them if Mrs. Lincoln herself, with every advantage that high position gave her, had tade btiends or in- I s-pired respect. And this last exhibition proves how in tight the popular estimate of her charac- i ter was. The lact for which Mrs. Lincoln setls large 'l ty, namnely, that she reevived presents vatletd at is a.pregncant and suggestive one-suggestive, at least, of otffices and contracts, unlless tihe more charit.c- ia ble construction is reached through thie assumption that they were expressions of regard and frietindship.

But it is not known that the wife of any l'resident, however estitmable, was so loaded with shawls, laces, furs, diamonds, rings, etc. Mrs. Lincoln's propensity to sell things was manifested early, and Before ally necessity was foreseen.i If our information is reliable, eleven of Mr. Lincoln's new linen shirts were sold almost before the remains, which were shrouded in the tw-elfth, had started- for that fi-on whence no traveler retlrnlis." Individually, we are obliged to Mrs. Lincoln for an expression of her ill-will.

It is pleasant to remem- ber that we were always out of fiavor in that quarter. And it is equally pleasant to remnember that we possensed the friet.dship and confidence of Mr. Lincoln to tile last hour of his life, without paying coeurt, as others did, to Mrs. Liicoln, and in spite of her coI stant efforts to disturb our relations. This mortifyilng revelation will go abroad, and as it is natural, the press of Europe will make the most of it, in deprecating the ingratitude of our government and the want of 1.berality in the Americau people.

This consideration alone con-trains us to discharge the i unpleasant duty of showing that neither the Governmeat nor the people are justly obuoxious to these ac- I cusations. Tir: Lttcots Sc.irs.n., --The orrt pttionn of the National Intelligencer, in its high-bred manner, where a iwoman is concerned, ad- ministers rebuke and stated conclusions with respect to Mrs. Lincoln's exhibition of herself, as follows: It Ihas not been for any sensational piurpose, or for i gining temporary i.nte1est to 6tar columnsby publish- ing whit may. be termied matiers-of noloriety, that the case of Mrs. Lincoln has had plate in t'ne hntelligenter.

If Mrs. Lincolu disgraced the rank of chief lady of the land, Lred as the wife of the President, what Sdidept -the dation for like wretched tices that may have existed in less exalted quarters. And if "woman, heaven's best gift to man," enters into the political shambles, and operates for mercenary purposes, what may be expected of the stronger sex than an utter profligacy and tendency to corrupt practices The exposure of what relates to Mrs.

Lincoln's course, and of those who pampered her desire to live sumptuously, and dress in purple and fine linen, begets the question, how shall the arbiters of power he able to comprehend the motives and causes of action of persons who apply to them for this or that act of official favor In this sense, the facts that have come to light in the case of Mrs. Lincoln, taken in connection with a tolerable calculation and estimate of what of a like character had practical existence in court circles, excite intense apprehensions touching the demoraliNations of ofticial life. If Radicalism was thus eorrupt in its green leaf, ahat won is it that to its grown tree the people have at last applied the axe to its root, have cut it down and cast it into inextinguishwale fires? Dtiur or A death of M'ie Sophie Despaiu, nee Carriere, at Biloxi, at the advanced age of 110 years, has added another fiature of interest to what the United States Supreme Court has decided to lie the most reinmarkable suit ever brought to trial in this countryv. Mine was born in 1757, a when Louisiuna wais held by France, of an old P'rovencal family, aid her name will long be remembtered in connection with that of her Zulime Carriere. It- was while under M'me D)espan's care thlit Zulime, when thirteen years of age, (1796) and already cei.hrated in this city for ther beauty, was marriedl to Des (range, a French noblemuti, who soon after into a harkleepr or Sumile yeats after Des Grange proved to have bIeen already unrtiled, and about the s.rte timte an aIttichment sprung tip between i her and DatI iel Clark, the (ongressneen, the laud speculator, and foremost usiniless ma of his time.

The attai htent resulted in a marriage, according to iM'me Sophie )Despa and another ister, and according to all, in the birth of 3vra Clark Gaines. M'me )cspau, in her evidence in the ines case, testified tha she was present when the nuarriage ceiemoniy performid in Plhiladelclphia, with a third sisier, a'i it was ipon their evidaelce that the allleged ceremony rested. for the priest who olficiatedt suhsiei'lIentl wenti to Ireland, the church was burnted down and the records destroyed. What addel still nto're to the comliication of) the case, was that Zalime Carriere Des G(range Cla.hk wis susqhuently iuiitt'ed to Dr. and i this during the lifetime of ('lark.

A iMrs. (aines' legitimacy depended upon the validity of Clark's marriage, the strain of the whole case turned upon the evidence of 01' Mie To test her veracity the evideice of some "or firty Switnesses were taken, who known hor while residinug ill this city, in Ihhloxi, HLavmana, Floridal and Spanish America. But the answers were in her f.vor, andt in the interpretation givenu of the bewiliering fhe's of this case by the last decisiton of the Supreme Court, her stalclllelets were taken as correct andl ctate inow at was adjudicated to her niece, Mrs. Gaines; adjudicted fifty years aftier the im kingi of the will, thirty after the commenceiment of the suit, after six appe; ls to the St)preme Court, and it iIhe the original suit had been dividedl into five hundred separate actOilS Subsetluent possessors tof 's eI rate.ji I1 me Dcjlau 1hough for mote thlan a century, ianid though involved three-lourths of that period in the tiroubles, of her sister, did not tafter all live to see terminattion of thet suit, and save worth of the I contested estate yielded by Mr. Slidell during the war, 1 i none of the contested property has yet ieen recovered by its lie-long Titmes.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Ilerald writes as follows: I do not think the Radicals inltend' to attempt the suspelnsion of the Preident; but should they do so, I am assured Mr. Johnson will resist ill the way I before indicated. In such an event serious trouble must result.

the inltroduction of a resolution of suspension, and an atteimpt to p-ss it, would be regardedt by the President as ia casus ielii. It is said that the President would not evenI allow such a resolution ttj pass. lie would regard its preseutation as a revolitioniry act, and would ilmnediately issue a proclamhnation, reprsenlting that an attempt was about to be made to depose him unlawfully. lie would adjourn the two Houses, and call upoin the army and navy to support him. Would the army and Invy respond? It is hard to tell.

Grant, pestered and harassed on all sides, keeps his counsel. lie says inothiog, and y. ach side claims him as all allay. Tlie Conservative proclaim lie was always inclined towards them, while the Rl.licals, on the other Land, paoint to his course in relationl to Sheridan, Sickles and Sranton, and his correspobndt.ene with the l'resident thereon, and infer that therefore he is iith them. I amii inclined to think that the reticence Cof the General-iin-Chief is not owing ahlogether to a desire to conceal his real sentiumenut-, bi to to he fact that.

he intends tai guide hiImself Ib circumisttiances. Should the President prorogue Congress before the pa.is.ige of a resolutioti of suspeIn ('rant will then, i'rolbal)1y, as a soldier, feel b.iunml to obey the orders Mr. Johnson. But should Congress succeed in passing a resolution of Slaspentision and elect Wade PIresideut ad interim, thenl Grant will look to for directions, its the servant of Congress. InI the meantime blth the IPresideLIRt and iraitt are I the two coolest men in the country.

Though I have thus given my views on the subject, it is proper to state that the it rdicals proless to be in earnest anol deny that Presidenltial contliciations are at aill coinuectelI ith their action. Chief n-tice Chase emlphatically dentied, in a conversation' with ime, thit he had written letters to or consulted citli the Priesident ai to the policy of the litter in deal ing with Cmii gress or the military eommaitders. With ri'gardl to the elfect of his dieision inl North Carolina upon the admiinistratioU of General Sickles, lie says that hie ineither intendiiled to obistruct nor defeat that ollieer in t'heeex'eition of' tile recolnstruetion law0s. I Xlhart he claims was that Sickles had no right to atttemllpt to obstruct the regular process of the civil courts of the lUniti.d States. Chase dill not defiy the right of Sickles to interfere with the civil courts of the Sta'e of North Carolina, but he thiuks that offecr erred not inltructing his subordinates to reI spect and obey the maudates of the United States InnircotIrt.

His attitude towards the Republican party in other respects the Chief Justice declares to be unchangedl lie says lie is now and has been all along in favor of the Congressional plan of reconstruction. Indeed, he claims the credit of having organised that plan. lie says that ini yi5, while on a visit to Hilton Head, S. hlie wrote a letter to P'resident Johnson, wherein lihe laid drwni the very planhut of reconstruction finally adoptCd iby Congress. This, lie says, was the only rice oin politicl qulestions he ever gave President Johnson, and lie regrets that the litter failed to adopt it.

Ilowever this may be, it is still asserted that Chase ha- secretly been an adviser of Johnson that ie eounsele.d hin to reiiiie Stanton, Grant, and Sheri dan and ickles; allnd that his object las thus to riAl himself of dangerous rivals for the l'rceidential sueceesion, tie salme as lie mllanagecd to destroy Canmeroni dur'ing the administration of the laineted Lincoln; Juit before Stantoni's snupension it leaked out that "a very high oflicial" had arranged with the 'President a plot to kill off Stantoln and Grant at cthe same time, iirt by driviilg the former from the war office and -econld by invcigling the litter into the position vacatel by tlie foriler, and thus confusing and elibarrassing him with civil and political questions. The result hIsi bIeet suich as to verify to soiut extent that story. Does Chase I tow ianyiivting of this plot?
