THE LAST DAYS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN Ten years hinve paased since the assassina- tion of President Livcory. Thoevent seoms: distant, and yet how vivid the recollection of that strange and appalling catastrophe! How tremulons with emotion is tho national heart on every reenrring anniversary of that groat afliction! What other memory in onr an- nals moves men 8o quickly to tesrs? Mr, Lixcory had been near our main mmy at the fall of Petersburg and the discomfituro of the Confederate forces, ITe had entered ]iié:_hmnnd o fow days after the departure of JeFrensoNy Davis, Xe hnd returned to City Doint, and spent sevoral hours in visiting the sick and wounded, both loynl and Confede- rate, in the houpitals there. On Sabhath morning, April 9, Mr, Lxcory returned from City Point to Washington, O+ the eame dny, CGen. Lee surrendered to Gau. Gnant ot Appomattox Court-House. Early on Monday morning the pcople began to -ol- lect in large numbers before the White House to welcomo and congratulate the President. Ar, Livcowy declined to addross them at that time; later in the day, however, atabout 6 o'clock p. m., he had appeared befrre a simi- lnr assembly, intent upon hearing him, aud had made an exceedingly happy extempors. neons address of from five to ten minutes. It wos hislast extemporancous speech. Ho seemed rofreshed by his excarsion to Rich- mond, and full of good humor. Ilis sxpres- sion of countenance wasextremely genial ; his manner was ofi-hand and elastic, with a spice of Western dash, and with that naiveta for which he was distinguished. Ho declined to enter upon the discussion of any {mportant topics at that time, resorving them for the following evening. The writer was early bo- fore the Excentive Mansion on Tuesday even- ing, April 11, when an elaborate address, which proved to be his last, was expocted. Tho historic central window in the socond story was the contre of expoctant and atten- tive observation. It wns felt to bo an hour of historic interest. The sixteenth Presidont of the Unitos States was nbout to make his appearance and nddress tho vast assembly, and virtually the whole country, respecting the great victorios achieved, aud the momen- tous {ssues of reconstruction pressing their claims upon the attontion of tho Govornment and of the nation. That hour of waiting was not unoccupied withstirring thoughts, From that crisis in our history, the whole past of our national life seemed to flash into vivid apprehension, Quickened association brought back overything momentous and grand in the post of Amerien. Nevor before or sinco hnve historic ovents passed in such panoramn before imagination. The stately form of WasuiNaToN stood almost visibly beforo us. His noble form, his broad, strong, command- ing fontures ; his reserved and aristocratic mannor; his calm, gelf-reliant, and benignant countennnce, Jomy Apams, in mind able, eloquent, patriotic, self-complacent ; in per- son, of full habit and rublound features, Trous JerrensoN, who wrote the Declavation of Amorican Independonce at tho ngo of 82, and finished a long and most illustrious life just half a century from tho day of its odoption.

CUANAN, of notorlety for the Ostond Mani- festo, for the Daep Hoorr decision, and, floally, for his non.coercive policy in the days of incipient rebellion. We scemed to see all thoss, and to realize what they had been and what they had dono as never be- fore. It wasamost profitable hour, walling for their successor, the political antagonist of Srepurn A. Dovoras; the *‘Honest Old Ase"” of the campaigning daysof his firat nomluation snd eloction; the emaucipator of 4,000,000 slaves; the strong, faithfal, pa- tient lgader, who had conducted the mation tbrough four yearsof gigantio olvil war to trinmphant success, We were consciously entering upon n new era, and awaited with a seuss of some- thing grand and momuntous in the ooca- slon the first utterances, after victory, of the President Eusndpator on the groat question of reconstruction, That speech was evarywhare rend, and made protound {mpression upon the whols coun. trv, Ttiwna concalved (n the snivit of the / / THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY.

It breathed “Mnlice towand none, charity for all.” It furnished substantially the basis on which the worl of raconstruction haa since been prosecutod. Thursday ovening, April 13, was set apart for n general illumination of the Oity of Washington. Tho buildings occupied by the various departmonts were ablaze with light. Along serios of magnificent fireworks had been prepared for the small park ncross the streat in front of the Exccative Mansion. It was justly felt that they onght to throw their most DLrilliant light upon the home of our faithful Chiof Magistrate, For n long time countless rockets and minor displays filled up the intervals botween tho most elaborate picces, probably, ever exhibited at the Capi- tal, if not in tho land. It was the President's Iast night at the White House. Hour after hour the display continued, The Iresident ond his housebold onjoyed from their win- dows the glorious demonstration, It scemed to those who woro there like the nation’s tribute of acknowlodgment to its most bur- dened servaut. Was there not slso n min- gled tingo of sadness oven in that hour of eupreme sntisfaction ? Victory was a joy, Lought with sorrow ; it had cost precious Dlood, and was to exact a still more conspieu- ouseacrifice.

Must not thoughts like these have stolon upon tho mind of the Chief Mngistrate himself ? Did no ponsive mood mingle with his joy ? Did no thoughts of human frailty eboquer the hour ?

The long sgony of that Friday night in Wash. ington will nover bo forgotten by thoso who were there, Tho telegraph began immedi- ately to announce tho sad intelligence to the whole country. Soon the whole land, from the Capitol to the most distant cabin on the froutier, began to put on mourning. Uni. versal grief asfor o personal bereavement oppressed the nation.

The telegraph never carried to the world a messngo morv pathotic than that which it condensed ton yoars ago this morning into that last dispatch of Sec- retary BraxtoN to Gen. Drx: * Angaman Liyoory is dend.” BALE O CITY PROPERTY. We are in favor of the sale at a fair prico of all tho unused real estate belonging to the city. The city is really paying double inter- cst on all the property it holds and does not uso or noed. It loses the taxes thereon, which may be regarded as on interest, and it pays about 8 per cent interest on borrowed money equal to the value of the property, and which might be paid off by the salo of the property. Tho * Long John” engine 1ot, located on LaSallo strest, near the Cham- ber of Commerce, may be taken asan iHlustra. tion. Its sale wes authorized by tho Com- mon Council on Monday evening at $52,800, or $1,200 per foot, Holding this lot at that value, tho city was losing annually os fol- lowa:. Tuteroat on $52,800 at 8 per cent Taxes on real estal Taxes on Linprove Of course it i3 better for tho city to sell ont tho tract a8 a whole, aud allow somebody elso tomake a profit on the subdivision, than to go iuto the business of peddling it in frac- tions; but wo know of no reason why it should not take tho largest price which any- body is willing to pay for the undivided tract. The Legislaturo of 1ilinois adjourned in s protest. 'The Constitution of the State pro- vides that ‘“‘any two members of either Honso shall have the liberty lo dissent from, and protest in respectful langunge agninst, any act or regolution which they think injo- rious to the public or to any individual, and have tho reasons of their dissent ontored on the journals,” On Saturdsy some sixty-eight Republicnn members of the House submitted their protest in writing against the general notion of the majority, enumerating various specifio acta of oppressive wrong aund injury, and especially agniust the conduct of the Spenker, who had been sustained by his party friends in wrong.doing. The presenta- tion of this pratest led to the most disgrace- ful scone ever witnessed in an Tlinois Legis- Inturo, in which the Spesker wus the conspicuous leader in disorder. On Monday forty-four Demoerats pre- sented & paper which they called n “protest,” in which they roviewed the conduct of the Republicany, espocinlly vindi- cating tho Spenker, and then both popers went on the journal, The Speaker, in closing {ho House, artfully and adroitly sought to blunt tho point of the unprecedented rebnko given him by the failure to ndopt any resolu- tion of thanks or compliment to him by sny- ing that the two parties having put on record their opinions of each other, all such resolu- tions were unnecessary. It is proper to state that the Democratic paper was signed by only forty-four names, The others peremplorily declinod. 8o that, out of a House of 153 members, Speaker Hunes conld wuster only forty-four who would stultify themsolves to tho extent of offering an apology for his conduct as Spenker of tho House. It was fitting that such unprecedented disorder and impropriety, duo altogether to the Speaker, shonld bo marked by the unprecedented ab- sonce of any kindly notice by the House, or even by tho offering of a resolution to that offect. The paper filed by the forty-four is cer. toinly a most extraordinary document, The majority of overy legislative body is of noces- gity responsible for the action of the House, yot this paper declares ¢ ‘Wo biereby present our solemn rroTrer sgaimat tifis unprecedonted and revolutlonary action of THE MINORITY of the House, Here is o protest entered against the action of the poworless minority, who wero literally unable to do anything, and who were even rendered mora helpless than ordinary minori- ties because of the extra-official conduet of tho Speaker. 'We question whether thore is another instance on record of the majority party in a Legislature protesting ngainst the action of the minority. The presentation of thess iwo pnpers, however, exhibit the fact that 108 members of the House,—more than two-thirds,—in. cluding all the Republicana and all ths Demo- crats of standing and character, by their signing tho protest of the minority and re. fusing to sign that of the majority have ex- preased tho disestoem in which they hold the Speaker and in which thoy regard the dis- gracoful proceedings of the session, The record is made up, aud from it there is mo escape. A DEMOCRATIC CABSANDRA, The leading Southern Democrat in Con- gress is Mr, L, Q. O, Luaan, He is a relic of paleozoie politics, an ante-War Bourbon, whose views were purified by the ordeal of fire, and who has shown himsclf worthy of the forgiveness o nation hay extended to him, Mr. Lusar s naturally very anxious to see o Democratic President eletted in 1870, but his predictions on that theme show that his hopes aro not high, He has beon interviewed by a roporter of the Atlanta Herald, and his skotch of the way in which the Domoorats must act in order to carry the next campaign proves that they will not carry it. Mr, Lasuan declarea that a majority of American voters are opposed to the Admin. istration, dut, he says, the Democracy is not that majority, It has won its recent vic- tories * by co-operation, not by conversion.” 1t has had allies in the fight, but those allies are not Democrats, It must have thefr aid to elect the next Presidont, aud it can get their ald only by adopting a liberal, not a Tourbon, o national, not o sectional, policy. Here, thon, wao have the distinet statement by o Democratic leader of the course that must be pursued in ordor to carry the elec- tion of 1876. We have, on the other hand, the record of the course his party has pur- susd and s pursuing,~and that record is in fiat contradiction to the policy which is tho solo means, in his opinion, of success. In Connoctiout, the Democracy has sent to the flenats a bitter Bourbon, a worshiper of the Pandora's Box of Btate Bovereiguty, a Cop- perhead, a voleano of hate against the Unlon, a believoer in paying for the emancipated slaves, o condensed essence of everything that fs fatal to the peace and prosperity of the United States, Sign one of Earon's speochos with the name of Jomy O, Qarmouy or Jxvw Davis, and the triok would mot be suspscted. The same spirit breathes through the works of both mon. To chooss such o blatant foe of thb Union, the Connecticut Democracy passed over Esorisn, Inoxnsorr, and other liberal partisaus, More recontly, tho same body of votershasrejectod the Union General Hawexy, and elected the Bourbon sbsentee, Banxos, Penuvylvania passes by Bucxarxw and electa o bummer, * Coffee-pot” Watrick, In Il linols, & Demooratio House declines to com. plete & monument to Saraux A, Dovazas on the Muavowed) mrornd thes tha dead stetes. 4,224 003 nta ihat Totalseeesasesenmmansssnsaatansrossie $3,224 ‘The city finances ore not now in acondition to warrant thoe holding of real estate o long timo forn rise. Besides, expericnco shows that property owned by the city does not al- ways get tho benefit of a rise ag if it wero owned by private persons. The * Long John " lot is alsoan instance of this. In 1872 tho city was offered $1,66G a foot for thislot, which wounld have brought (44 feet) at this price 873,300, But tho Common Council, though urged by the Mayor and Comptroller, rofused to nccept the bid, and demanded 1,800 a foot, which could not be had, and the result is the property now goes for $52,- 800, or $1,200 per front foot, which is prob- ably allit Is now worth, But while wo favor the sale of all’ unim. proved ond not needed city property at fair prices, wo aro opposed to tho sale of such property to ono man at & considerably lowor price than other men are willing to pay. This seoms to have been done in the block near Lincoln Park, bounded by Eugonia street on tho north, Northavenus on thesouth, Clark streot on the enst, and LaSallo street on the west. The Committeo recommonded the salo of this property to “F, Wargzn" at £50,000, and the Council approved of it by a vote of 30 to 8. This “F., Warxkn" {urns turns ount to be Mr. F. Waones, who is o brother-in-law of Ar, Jage Reux's, and also a partner of tho latter in the malt businesa. It is not unfalr to nssmmne that Mr Renx is alio intorested with Br, Warxer in his real estate denlings with tho city., The Common Council voted the sale to this party at $60,000, while a formal bid for tho sane property at $60,000 was made to the Council tho same evening by Messrs, J. Hensy and Jacon Weir, who are responsible men. Alr. Wrin says *‘that he did not put in his bid to the Committes be- causo he knew thut Restse and his brother-in. law wero bidding, aud it would be of no use to him." IHe, tharefore, *‘waited and made his bid in open Council.” The Council could have recomumitted the matter to the Commit. tee with this bid, as it Aid in the case of the reservoir lot, but it scoms that the brother-in. law's $50,000 wero preferrod to AMr. Wrir's 060,000, The vote approving the sale waa as follows Ayer—Richardson, Warren, Coey, Btone of the Fourth ‘Ward, Clarke of the FUth Ward, Reidy, Sommor, Cul- lezton, McClory, Ifildreth, Batley, O'Birien, \Woodman, Clark of the Tenth Ward, White, Gunderson, Quirk} Ryav, Ezthardt, Btout, Mubz, Lengschor, Bchaffner, Murphy, Bwecney, Lynch, Dickluson, Jonus, Gorooran, and Atr, President—30, Nows—TFitzgerald, Bione of the Fifth Ward, Mo- Enua, Heall, Waterman, Oampbsll, Case, Oloveland Hero {8 an excellent opportunity for Mayor Cowvix to exercise his veto power.

A four- cusbion shot by Honing in tho fourth {nning failod to count by & hair's broadth, and loft tho balls in & bunch for Hoa, Coutrary to the ox- pectations aroused, le sat down after mekivg but 2, mlnslm{l an easy shot. Tho gamo progressed ateadily, if not bLrilliantly, somotling boing mado lar bath _men in each innivg, Not a blank was mado until the sixth was resched, when Honing misued n hiard masse. Iutho noxt ho took s consider- ablo lond by & run of 20. Ilo followod imme- diatoly with 10, displaylugr in tho run a number of fino draw shots, A'long cushion mase made by Hoa in the tenth inning waa loudly applaudod. Startiog with this shot, ho got the vexatious balls togethior, and hold thom for 10, missing an casy baok shot, Honing crented consderablo merriment in his thbirtcenth innlog by » jump shot, accidentally jumpiug the cue ball upon tho red, aud half.way across the table upon the white. Honing, ln the ninetconth inning, ro- lioved tho slow chsractor of the gamo by run ot 32, all of which were oither long caroms or ronnd-the-tablo shots. They were wolls earned billiards.

Time af gamo—0ge hour twenty minuten, GALLAGHER—TARKEL, The next game wns betweon Thomas J. Gal- lagber, of Obio, and Frank Parker, of this city. It waa the best and most intoresting thus far by sli odds. Parker won the bank, chose tho white ball, and lod off with s run of 4. Gallagher roplled with a cipher. Patkor's sccond lnning was roductive of 19 billiards, Gallaghior draw throe lanks and then scorod 1, Ife broke the ico in the noxt lnuing with s run of 9, Paker wont to cuo balf-a-dozen times with but vory poor reanlts until tho nintl, when he rapped out 20, having got the ivories togothor insids tho string. ‘Ilio run was marked by very protty nursing and Pomion-phy. Gallagher first gave the crowd an [den of Lis kil in his Lalf of the samo loning. Oajoling the balls inlo the lowor left-hand cor- ner, he manipulated them with fine judgment, incrensing his atring 45 poiuts, ana making the amo in hia favor by 60 to 53, Befors tha run fnd concluded he was forced to abandon the po- sition, tho balls scattering widely. But the round-tho-tablo ahota nocessitated were finely glu.vud. snd timo aftor timo ho counted in most iflcult positions. It was the best bit of work seon in tho tournament thus far. JIa his next inviog but one he worked aut 15 vary noat bill- farde. Parker, iu the meantimo, did very little towards recovering hia lost gronund.~ Hestrucka vromising lewd, however, in tho twolfth inoing, boe took his soat but 8 points better off, In the noxt he did good work for bimself draw- tng ahead of Gallagher by srun of 21. The game thon stood, Parker, 88 "Gallaghor, 75, Galla- gber from the eloventh inning appeared to let down a little; ho drew blauka several timos, and made but half-a-dozen buttons in aa maay fo- pings. Parkor jogged along at & very offoctive gait, rolling out 19 tn tho saventcouth by whicly lie turned his string, following it immediately with » run of 19, by which he led his opponont 87 points, Qallaghor woko up again in hid shara of this inning, aud caused congidersblo enthusi- asn by his fno playiog. By a well-judged posi- tion shot ho rollod the balls in o heap at tho lowar end of tho tabls, and oxhiblted an abund- anco of nursing skill. He kept the epheres in- side the string, and didss nics,clean, rapid work a4 his most hopeful friends could wish to mea. Torty, 60, and 60 were succosuively callod, and the balls wore still well togethor. Atter tho last number was passed he was_obliged to lay soveral abuts for position. Ho brought rho ivorfon into place again, but missed on tho seventioth shot off an oasy bank play, having nddod 69 to his scoro, It waa the lu&nul Tun of tho tournament ttus far. Tho gamo thon stood : Gallagher, IBBL Parker, 131, Parkor followed with 8. Gallaghor wont to cue n tho noxt in- ning with 47 to go, 1l kuocked them out by n4 neat position and round-the-table billlards as any one cau boast of. Tho two runs wore as fiucly executod, as £ar as they went, as nuy that Liave evor boen made hore, They were played in o cloun, freo, rapid stylo, worthy the beat pro- fossional.
