UATHBMY, OI The above figures speak for themselvos. To be added to tbciu, however, is the $25,000 which was appropriated by the last Congress on oc-count of Mr. Lincoln's salary, making altogether the total value of the personal estate to be about one hundred and ten thousand dollars, to say nothing of the real estate described in the (schedule above. So that the statement made in the World that Mr. Lincoln saved nothing and left nothing from his salary, and that Mrs.

Lincoln has no resources but what remain from the appropriations of Congress, $22,000, and the rents of the homestead, returning altogether but $1700 per year, cannot possibly be true. That Mr. Lincoln did not leave his family wealthy is very evident, but no one, in view of the above Inventory, will say that they are in the deplorable condition of ''want" and "destitution," in regard to which the public has with so much astonishment just been informed. We say this much, not for the purpose of preventing "personal contributions" from being made to Mrs. Lincoln, if she desires them, much lets to deter Congress from making a further appropriation tor her support, which we should be glad to have it do; but simply in order that ot the nation may not suppose Mrs.

Lincoln in in anything like destitute circumstances. Her income may not be sufficient to meet all her wants and necessities, but It is certainly large enough to maintain her at least as comfortably as she lived before going to Washington. MRS. LINCOLN'S WARDROBE. A Showman Offers 13,000 for the Lot-He Wants Kxblblt the Ureases and Jewelry In Europe Sir.

Wakemau Clone) to Chicago. Although the weather yesterday was very unfavorable tor what is technically known in dry goods circles as the "lancy trade," yet quite a number of people visited Mr. Brady's showroom, on Broadway, where Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe is exhibited for sale. Few purchases, however, were made, the majority of the visitors having come rather to gratity a troublesome curiOBity than to Duy, ana a great many ot the gems and jewels, and all the womankind attire, yet remain.

One lady drove up in a magnificent carriage, with richly caparisoned horses, and coachmnn in livery, and asked to see Mr. Brady. On being nlnted out that gentleman, she rushes up to im Impetuously, and said to him in haughty tones: "Mir, I am a friend of Mrs. Lincoln, and desire to see her immediately." "1 am oi ry, madam, I am unable to gratify your wishes, as Mrs. Lincoln is not to be seen immediately." 'But, sir, I am her friend, and I desire you to give tae a puss to see her; the sulo of these goods, sir, is an indelible disgrace to the country." "I agree with you, madam; the only pass I can mve Is to buy you a ticket to Chicaco.

where Mrs. Lincoln Is at present; you must excuse me if I decline to do bo, and, as you say you are a friend of Mrs. Lincolu, you cannot snow your rrienanip a more substantial way than by makir.g a purchase." Tins suggestion was not acted upon, from the fuct that tbis lady merely wished to see Mrs. Lincoln for th purpose of giving her some "good advice." Of course this fashionable lady, so full of lip benevolence, anil who was so desirous of seeinp and giving her deur friend Mrs. Lincoln some "good advice," declined muklng purchases, but was loud in expressing "how shocked she was thut such an exposure should bo made," to all of which Mr.

Biady assented, but was careful to conclude his remarks with the refrain "ITes, and as you say you are a friend of Mrs. Lincoln, you can prove your friendship by making purchases." But, mirabile diclu, this benevolent darue did not heed the drift of these remarks, and kept regretting in a fort of serio comic strain of mental agony, "Oh, I'm so distressed to think that Mrs. Lincoln should do this; why the whole ot Kurope will be talking about it. and I have some relatives moving in the highest circles of Loudon and Paris, and I know how mortified thej will feel." "Yes, madam," replied Mr. Brady; "and tf I were not actuated by more than pecuniary motives, I could have sold the whole ot this wardrobe for $13,000 to a showman who dewlres lo CKhlbit them in Europe; in fact, I have had two offers of this kind, but Mrs.

Lincoln la not desirous of giving this matter any mere pub-l'clty, on account of her sou, who Is very sensitive on the Bubject, and wishes to get the affair over as soon as possible. This was too much of piling a mountain on a mouutain for tbe refined feelings of this benevolent lady, and she marched off Indignantly in a volley of anathemas against the crime of being poor, to give place to another female who was i nu ally troublesome and objectionable, and who gave plenty of pity, but no purse. Shortly alter this episode a gentleman entered and thus addressed the proprietor: "Mr. Brady, 1 thought you said Surveyor Wakcman whs coming up to see the good, and make some purchases; hns he been here? P-ihaw he's nothing but a radical politician. He told Mm.

Lincoln's agent that tie would come up and make a purchase the first day he called upon him. Oh, yes, he said, 'certainly, I shall come by all means, I should never think of permitting Mrs Lincoln to be refused such a small favor; I will be sure to come up this afternoon." But he didn't come. The aerent saw him the next day. "Oh, how are you?" he said; I am sorry I couldn't get up yesterdav; you may expect me this afternoon," But he didn't come. A few days ago the agent met him again.

He was equally affable and equally profuse of promises, and declared that ho would be up that very afternoon. But he didn't come. Thfn followed tne publication of 31rs. Lincoln's "Well, didn't he come up then "No, he has gone to Chicago." (This was said insinuatingly, as if to infer that the letter and Mr. Wakemau' trip to Chicago had some mysterious connection.) Then followed a confab from the disjointed words beard here, and then it was evident that Mr.

Wakeman is not desirious of having any more letters published, and would seem to be desirous of creeping out of the "unpleasant affair" by havine an Interview with Mrs. Lincoln. Several artists from Illustrated papers called yesterday and made sketches, and Mrs. Lincoln's wardrobe and its storv will In evitably be rendered as nubile as thn nen and press can make It. JV.

Y. World. CONNECTICUT. The Barnum Election Case, A Washlngtouf despatch to the Boston Advwr. tistr says that the sub-Committee of the House Committee on Elections, composed of Messrs.

uhwcs, roiana, ana unauier, cnarged with investigation of alleged frauds In the election of William H. ijaruum. of Connecticut met at Bridgeport, in that State, on the 1st instant. Tbe witnesses examined by the committee swore positively to having been offered money, in sums ot fifty and one hiiudred dollars, by Mr. Barnum personally, for their votes.

The most important witnesses in the ewe were either out of town or refused to answer the summons sent them, and it is the opinion of a majority ot the committee that these witnesses were hired to absent themselves, The Convention meet again in Falls Village, Barnum'a town, on the 15th Instant, when tbey propose to compel attendance ot retractory witnesses. ExPrcsldent Pierce en the Election. Ex-President Franklin Pierce was serenaded In Concord, N. on Wednesday night, by the Democrats who were rejoicing over the election returns. Halting in front of his residence, the crowd gave three cheers for Pennsylvania, three for Ohio, and three for General Pierce.

The ex-President appeared at the door and was en- ttiUBlantivally cbuercd, tne baud playlUK the "Star Spaneled Banner. As soon as the music stopped ex-President Pierce spoke as follows: "It has been so long your part and mine, mv friends and neighbors, to breast and smile back defiance at what we have believed to be the torrent of evil, that one hardlv knows how to receive notes ot triumph. I am free to confess uunotri, ma, lun 1C9U1U WUICU UU US Ve 03(110 to announce are not a surprise to me. Then have been mutterings, and some distinct enun ciations, which proclaimed them pretty significantly to my mind. jnoi tne least ot mess was tne encouragemen and hope which came down to us from our nciehborinir Btate Montaane Vcrle a.

Then Montana far off Montana ame over the mountains wljh her trumpet-tone, saying: Rally to the roscue of your country. "Wave Munich, all thy banners wave, And cnarge with all thy chivalry. for we are striking hands with you in this great battle for union and independence.

Then came California booming over cape and ocean to assure us that the Pacific has recovered its feet, and is ready for the great conflict; and now I learn that we may hope lor victory in Ohio, which seemed like hoping against all hope. And, finally, old sturdy Pennsylvania, which holds Independence Hall, speaks words of terror to the wrong and encouragement to the right. I warn you, my friends, to note the fact that these triumphs, whatever they may be, are no party triumphs. The people have risen in their roaiesty, with a consciousness of their power, and, disregarding party lines and party aspirations, have been silently considering what bcloncs fo them, their children, and their country. I think the great battle has been fought aud won.

If the results are significant in nothing else they arc in this that the whito race our race-the German, Italian, French. Irish, Scotch, and Anglo-Saxon people are still to be the controlling power on this continent. It is for you, now, to remember your duties jour fidelity to principles; what you owe to your neighbors whether they agree with you or not and to take care that the public weal suffer no detriment at your bauds. I thank you for your very kind greetiug; and not having strength in my present state of health to say more, I bid you all good night.

Death of a Nephew of ex-President Taylor. Louisville, Oct. 11. Samuel B. Taylor, nephew of e-Preidenl Taylor, died of cholera at Peoria, 111., to-day.

XjJSOXi XttTJGIiIjZGKEjXCEL The Alleged Election Frauds. NISI PR1U8 Judge Thompson. It will be remembered that while the judgea of the election returns were holding their session in the Supreme Court room yesterday, a number of the Democratic Judges filed a protest against the reception and counting of certain military votes from Fori Delawure, on tne ground of their illegality. Hamuel P. Hancock, President of the Judges, i hen slated that tbe Board was merelysa mlnlHlerlal body, I incompetent to pane upon the aued-tlo'i oi the legality ot the returns.

immediately aiierward an application was made before Judge Thompson for a preliminary injunction to restrain the Judges from counting their votes, and the injunction was granted. Bubseoueutly to the granting of the Injunction the returns were sent to the ofllce ot tbe Prothonotary or the Court of Common Pleas, and a copy of tbem, It is surmised, were sent to the feecretaiy of tbe Htate, at Uarrisourg. The matter under the tltleof William 11. Leech vs. Samuel P.

Hancock et al was brought before the court in the shape of a confirmation of the Injunction, In order that it might not exrire at the end of live days for want of expression of the Intention of tbe plaiutlUs to press the matter. Mr, Wo, 111 rat, on the part of the plaluliOs, proposed to go into a hearing of the matter; but Judge Thompson; upon learning that the defendants had not received full and proper notice of it, would not permit It to be had. He said that In so grave and serious a matter the Court could not act too carefully and solemnly, and it would be improper to procred without the defendants having ample noi ice to appear. Mr. Hirst then moved lor permission to amend the plaiullll's bill by an additional al legation of the frau-dulcncy of the proceedings on the part of the defendants, and tbe forgery of the papers.

Tbe Judge replied that 11' no one appeared to oppose tbe application, the amendment should be granted. No one made any remunstrunce, the defendants not being rrprfsentea by counsel, and therefore tbe amendment was made. Mr. Hirst asked that the Court make an order that tbe irjuuctiou shou a stand until a hearing was he ird, aud ottered the lollowlLg evidence in support of his request: Thomas Webb, Deputy Prothonotary of the Court oi Common Pleas Bworn These paper? (meaning the returns which had been handed to tbe Judge) were brought to IbeofHcer of the Court of Common Pleks about noon, October 11, by two persons, one re- JireRentlnn himself to be a commissioner appointed or the purpose; I do not know them, never having seen them belore that I remember; the president of the return Judges filed a return In the olllce to-day: it was sealed, aud I cannot say what tbey contained; I did not receive tbe return brought In by the two men. Thomas B.

Beeves, Clerk in the ofllce of the Court of Common Pleas, sworn These returns were brought to me yesterduy, while the return Judges were in session; I do not know the man who brought tbem; I have seen them In tbe ofllce several times belore tbe election; the returns were open; tbey were In the coudition they now are, with the exemption of the tile marks on tbe back, which I made: I made a certified copy of their contents; all that was said was that they were the returns of the votos from Fort Delaware; I would kuow tbe man who gave them to me if I were to see him; I do not recognize the handwriting on the returns. The Judge then asked counsel If a minute of the order made yesterday was served upon tbe delend-nlsT In answer to which Kdward J. Worrell, oi the ofllce of Colonel Hnowden. l'roilionotary of the bupreme Court, upon being sworn, tnstltlod: The injunction was given to me to serve; the Return Judges were then lu session lu the room opposite (the 8u prtme Court room I look the iojunutlon, went Into tbe room, and read it in the presence of Samuel P. Hancock, President, Bamuel bchlede, B.

8. Wright, and others whom I understood to be clerks of the Beiuru Judges; I afterwards read it aloud to Luke button, one ot the Judies, la front of the Register of Wills' olllce: the paper stated that there would be a meeting to day. Mr. Blair, ot the Supreme Court office, belntr sworn, testified 1 received a copy of t'ie order on William Bunjmeis, A. J.

Buck us, aud I). M. Matthews (all of hom were Judges). Mr. Hirst then asked that tbe order be granted, allowing the injunction to stand until Tuesday morn, ing at 10 o'clock, and also a rule to show cause why an attachment ehould not Issue against the defendants lor contempt and disobedience; for after the injunction had been reud to the Judges, as directed by act of Ast-embly, took the returns that were so evidently dishonest and fraudulent in the Common Pleas olllce, and had mulled a copy of them to Har-rlbburg.

And If they had beed sent to Harrlsburg he would ask leave to amend the bill by adding Frauds Joidau, (Secretary of the Commonwealth, as a defendant in the case. He knew that gentleman would be thankful lor It, for It would save him from lending; bis honorable name to sucb a disgraceful proceeding. The edge said he had doubts about that. It seemed to be loruolteu now-a-days that Return Judges were Judpes. It was lliouKl'l tbey were to act only ministerially.

Tbey seemed only to have counted up the numbers thut were given them, and to have abdicated their judgeshln entirely. But if the lujubctlon was not had In lime, and these returns had goue to HarrlHburg, the Secretary of the fsiate could not be restrained, because he bad no power to change them. This application was useless, and only serv.d to lend greater excitement to the Dialler by using Mr. Jordan's name. Mr.

Hirst withdrew the application. The order was then granted continuing the Injunction Indefinitely until a hearing was had; aud, a so, a rule to show cause why attachment should uot issue, returnable Tuesday luerulug, at 10 o'clock.

An attempt was made to prove Hamilton's age by entries made In a Bible, which were said to have been copied from tbe original entries In tbe original family Bible; but tbe original Bible being In the Uermau language, and tbe entries In It also oi the same language, these entries that wera offered In evldenoe, having been written In Knglish, tbey were objected t- The case was, therefore, continued for two weeks, in order to procure the old family Bible, which contains the troe reoord of th relator's age.
