was brought to Lear upon all who were
inclined to vote the Conservative ticket.—
Tbcy came yery near mobbing Henry
Smith, freedrr- i for voting that ticket.
They opei declared that they meant
to vote the . al ticket if they went to
hell the next niiHUle, for doing it ; that
they were in the ascendency and meant to
keep it—intended lo elect freedmen to all
county offices ; and, Wstingly said, in
three years, the whites would be begging
bread of them. Poor creatures! they
think they have entire control of the whole
country; govercment and all. I hoard a
gentleman in conversation with a number
of them, remark that he thought it proba-ble
some change would be made in the
present condition ol things, by the North.

But this was not the worst. The

CllARI.ESSUMSER AND MRS. SL'MNER.—
A public man sometimes becomes so pub-lic
that his private affairs command a pub-licity
which it would be an affectation of
the press not to notice. Hence, I send you
the following;
Not two years ago, the long-known
bachelor, Charles Strainer, became a Bene-dict.
A highly educated and accomplish-ed
man, of j;ood manaers and better ap-pearance,
naturally enough, he stood high
among the ladies ol'Boston, ami he had no
difficulty in winning the band of a widow
(from one of the F. F. V.'sof Boston) who
sacrificed no inconsiderable jointure in
marrying him. The honeymoon had all
the apparent charm that honeymoons
usually have, when Mrs. Sumner went
with her husband to Washington, and
new scenes ensued.
Among the accomplished men compos-ing
the diplomatic corps in Washington
was Baron Holstein of Prussia, whom the
Prussian king had attached to the Prussian
legation there, "to spy out th.^ land."—
Naturally enough he courted the acquain-tance
of Charles Sumner, the Chairman of
the Committee of Foreign Affairs in the
Senate—who, at a dinnerparty, introduced
his wife to the Baron, and who was placed
beside her at dinner. An acquaintance en*
sued, ami a friendship followed, such as
naturally and honorably spring up between
the sexes, with kindred tastes and aspira-tions.
The Baron attended to the lady in
matinees and soirees, and other public pla-ces,
and occasionally escorted her from the
Senate, where both had been to hear the
Senator speak.
Mr. Sumner, becoming displeased with
this acquaintance—it cannot be properly
called intimacy—wrote a letter to Baron
llolstein, in which, while complaining of
it, report says he insinuated something cot
honorable to the wife. The Baron wrote (
back a letter in which, in substance, he
said there was no cause of offense what-ever—
he had been polite to Madame,as he
was to other ladies of similar accomplish-ments,
and nothing had ever happened
which propriety or good taste forbade.
But if the Senator was not satisfied with
that, he was ready to give him any such
satisfaction as a man of honor demanded.
This correspondence was the beginning
and end of part first, but Mr. Sumner, re-port
says, then became cool to his wife— ,
and the lady and the Baron became more'.
reserved in their intercourse. Then Mr.
Sumner, as Chairman of our Foreign Af |
fairs, wrote lo the Prussian Minister o- ;
Foreign Affairs, the distinguished Bis-marck,
that if he (B.) would recall the
Baron, he (S) would be much obliged.
The adroit Bismarck yielded to the peti-tion
of the American Chairman af Foreign ;
Affairs, and the Baron was recalled to '
Berlin. i
Mrs. Sumner next became acquainted !
with this correspondence, and was indig-nant
beyond all power of description. Her
indignation rested upon that pait of the
correspondence which, it was alleged ,
touched her honor. The end of all this is
that Mrs. Sumner has gone her way to
Europe—their common establishment in i
Washington being given up, and another
is taken by the Senator for the winter.— .

JEFFEKSON'S WEDDING.
,
The following scene is from the Early i
Days of Jefferson, in The New York j
Century :
" Belinda, (Jefferson's first love) had !
been married many years, and her old ail- '
niir r was approaching thirty, when he
met a young lady of twenty-two, who had
made a strong impression upon him. She
was a little above the medium height) Blen-der,
but elegantly formed. A fair com-plexion,
with a delicate tint of rose; large
hazel eyes, full of life and feeling and luxu-riant
hair of a rich soft auburn, formed a
combination of attractions which were emi-nently
calculated to move the heart of a
youthful bachelor. In addition to all this,
the lady was admirably graceful; she rode,
danced and moved with elegant ease, and
sail"; and played on the harpsichord very
sweetly.
Add still to these accomplishments the
possession of excellent good sense, very
considerable cultivation, a want:, loving
heart, and last, though not has;, notable
talents for housekeeping, and it will not be
difficult to understand how the young ."Mr.
Jefferson came lo visit very frequently at
the lady's resilience, in the county of
Charles City. It was called 'The Fon st,'
and the name of the lady was Mrs. Martha
Skelb ti. She was a daughter of John
Wah-s. mi eminent lawyer, and had mar-ried
in her seventeenth year, Mr. Bathurst
Skelton, who, dying in 1708, left his young
wife, a widow of nineteen. As the three
years of mourning began to expire, the
beautiful young lady found herself besieg-ed
at 'The Forest' by numerous visitors.
Of these, three were favorites with the fair
Mrs. Skelton, of whom Mr. Thomas Jef-ferson
was one. The tradition runs that
the pretensions of the rivals were decided
either by the musical accomplishments of
the young counsellor, or by the fears of
his opponents. The tale is differently re-lated.
One version is that the two unfor-tunate
young gentlemen encountered each
other on Mrs. Skelton's door-step, but
heating Mr. Jefferson's voice accompany-ing
the lady in a path-tic song, give up
the contest henceforth, and retired with-out
entering, convinced that the affair was
b vond their control.
The other story is. that all three met at
tin- door, and agreed that they would take
turns. Mr. Jefferson entered lii>t. and the
tones of the lady in singing with her com-panion
deprived the listeners of all hope.
However this may be, it is certain that the
beautiful widow consented to become Mrs.
Jefferson; and on the 1st of January,
1771, there was a great festival at 'The
Forest.* Friends and kindred assembled
far and near, there was frolicking and sing-ing
alter the abundant old fashion, and we
find from the bridegroom's note-book that
the servants and tiddlers received fees from
I.is especial pocket.
It snowed without, but within all was
mirth and enjoyment, in the light and
warmth of the great log fires, roaring in
honor of the occasion. Soon after tne per-formance
of the ceremony, the bridegnx m
and his bride set out in their carriage lor

however, it only served for a topic of jest
and laughter. The young lady was merry
and light-hearted as a bird, and sent her
clear voice ringing through the dreary lit-tle
pavilion as gaily as she had ever done
in the cheerful drawing-room of'The For-est.'
Thus the long hours of the winter
night fled away, winged with laughter,
merriment and song. The vigil was a
mirthful incident rather than a trial of
their equanimity. They were young, and
they had just been married. Whcnhands
are clasped and Hearts beat close together,
there is very little gloom in darkness, and
winter nights are not cold. This little
moral sentiment will not, I hope, be criti-cised
as too romantic for the 'diguity of
history.' Ii doubtless explains how a
young lady and gentleman, both used to
every comfort and luxury, found the
gloomy little pavilion in the midst of three
feet of snow, neither dark nor cold in that
January night loug ago."
MOBE ABOUT .Mits. LINCOLN.—The coun-try
has been talking about Mrs. Lincoln's
wardrobe for two weeks, and forming va-rious
opinions as the good taste or policy
of advertising the same for sale. Few per-sons
arc aware thai she has, for over a year,
been in the habit of visiting a certain pawn-broker's
shop in this city, where she has
sold from time various articles of wearing
apparel and table furniture. In a dingy
little shop at No. SO South Wells street.
when1 banging dri 8Sea Suggest capital pun-ishment,
and empty coat sleeves b. at the
air to notify passers-by that cJothvs are tor
sale then-, may be found some of the cloth-ing
of Mrs. Lincoln. First, and most prom-inent,
is said to be the dress she wore at
Ford's theatre, on the night of Mr. Lin-coln's
assassination. This is a canary-col-ored
brocade, low-cceked,satin ilress, trim-med
at the bottom with a broad hand ol
canary-colored plain satin .Mrs. Lincoln
stated, when she pawned the dress, chat it
cost $225. She received for it 800. Be-sides
this, there is a common striped chene
siik dress, of a gray lilac color, which was
pawned al the same time, and a small can-ary-
color I p'ume filled with a cluster of
g ild< h grape, which she wore in her hair
on the night of the assassination. These
are all that now remain. A large stock of
goods, comprising cradle (milts, china sets,
dresses and other goods, for which the
volatile pawnbroker thinks he paid Mrs.
Lincoln the sum of'$1,800 have been sold.
The ur. ss worn by Mrs. Lincoln at the first
inauguration of her husband—a white silk
—was sold to a stage actress. A brown
satin dress, will a golden crown, made, as
Mrs. Lincoln informed the dealer, express-ly
{'■.;■ a tour to Europe, was pawned some
time last winter, and sold by the broker
for the sum of $70. A lavender silk dress,
with brocade flowers, also pawned at this
shop, is now at the dyer's for the restora-tion
of its color, damaged while on exhibi-tion
at the shop. Several other dresses
wi re mentioned by the pawnbroker, Mr.
Itoyle, as having been sold by him, the
description of which lie could not give.
Mrs. Lincoln also, about a year ago, pawn-ed
it this shop a set of china which she
had brought from Washington. A few
pieces were broken, but the remaining ar-ticles
were of the finest porcelain, and
were sold to grace a wedding party. Mrs.
Lincoln, in making this disposal of a cou-sid.
i aM-« portion of her wardrobe, desired,
and for a time succeeded, in transacting
theb in «sconm cted with the sale incog.,
so far as the dealer was c tne rned. _ She
always made the bargains herself, and rep-rcsent-
d that she was a lady stopping at
the Clifton House, who from some circum-stances
unexplained, had a large quant ty
of clothing that she should never use. At
one time she stat< .1 that she had intended
to go to Europe, bnl that some unfortu-nate
occurrences had prevented the tour.
»'n her first visit, in connection with some
articles of clothing, she brought a pair of
ol id faded cradle quilts, which, the
pawnbroker says, he bought, not because
of their value,"but to encourage the lady
to deal with him more largely. On oneol
these visits, the colored driver of Mrs. Lin-coln's
carriage mentioned to the broker,
incidentally, that Mrs. Line In desired to
see him. This was the first intimation ["HE Mun OK BOMB—The report.is
