The only pretended breach consists in not proceeding from ‘Tortugas to Bayport in proper time. But po particular time was stipulated in the contract, and tbe only Mime to which the vesse) was bound was that implied by law from the use of the word ‘direct,’ which, der the strictest construction, can only mean that period necessary, in tho use of the highest diligence, under all the circumstances, to accomplish the voy- age. The distinction is obvious. In one case thore ‘was a breach of an exprees stipulation in the contract, In the other the time of performance was prolonged by ‘Bo fault of the master, but as time was not mado of the @nsence of the contract, enforced deley was no breach, It fs obvious that the claim of the libellant would stand upon no higher ground if the word ‘direct’? were held to apply primarily to the route rather than the timo of the voyage from Tortugas to Bayport. The word applied to cliber aspect of the case would be governed by the game rules of jaw, Butin fact the gravamen of the Nbellant’s complaint js not that the Onruet did not pur- sue the customary route from Tortugas to Bayport, but ‘that she did not start from the former port at tho ume abe ought, ‘with coats, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT—IN BANKRUPTCY, Petition Filed *Yesterday.

When in the summer of 1860 Abraham Lincoln was informed that be was ehosen standard bearer of the re- publican party in their contest for the Presidency te re~ marked, “There ie @ little woman in Springfeld who will be glad to hear this,” That “little woman” now comes before the American public asking for the moaaw to maintain 8 position befitting the widow of the greatest President the country has known since the days of Washington, Mrs. Lincoln is, certainly, an ti! used woman Shebas never beon appreciated. As a wife snd mother, she {9 beyond reproach, avd has more tham realized the then exceptional position which Coser coveted for his wife, Of course it was to bo ex- pected, coming as she did tothe upoxpected dignity of the White House with her western training ond cduca- tion, that something of display, brusquencss, not alono of manner, but ia dress, would oxbibit itself in her condact aod deportment; but her great common sense, quick- ness of conception and sound judgment ba e ney been doue full justice to, bere is no doubt that many individuals, applicanta for positions or solicitors for con- tracts, found in the siraigh\forward, rather busy little body as they expressed it, helpmate of the Presidont, = stambling block ia the accomplishment of favorite schemes baving for their object ostensibly the benefit of the country, but in reality their porsovat her and forgetful that their antagonism was against they have followed up th evil foeiing with an intensity which hed caasod 1: pear before the American people in a lignt rent Trom: thas which ber virtue and oth qualities deserve. Mra, Lincoin is a homely woman-—that is considered in. in the senae which belongs to the word in the old coun- try—one fond of the domestic pie and of the amusements and recreations that belong to it. She ia aleo a woman of ambition. and her husbaud having beom elevated to the highest office in the gift of ins people, ahe felt it her duty toagsame a position becoming bin elevation and creditable to he Teflected dignity Is ‘was necessary that she should dregs sty .ishly, the charge ‘Uhat she did so extravagantly issimply absurd: if tru, it is but American; but that it is got true is atnply tom tiffed to by her iste, Mra. Elizabeth Ricky, an artiat in matters of this kiod, Lincola’s taste in dress wi subject of Temark amongst re, Rickly’s) customers, It must again be recollected that Mrs, Lincoln came from the Weat, and if ber toilette was offensive to our refined Eastern judgment the custom of the country must Another thing that h been forgotien ws @ circumstance that nover previously had any member of the White Howe been ed upon to maistain such state. The circumstances her residence there were peculiar, Wasbiug- her husband's occupancy of the Pres! was the objective point of the world's ot levees and receptions. That under there circumstances Ancolm would wish to dressin a manner befiting bigh station is but natural. Lincoin wag nd her bighest praise is that she wes @ good woman, honest, sei. ful, filled with admiration for her husband's eminence and the qualities which bad deserved it, and seeking, as ber bigbest gratification, to doit honor. From these gen- tlemen, most accustomed to judge of the innate rofine- ment which, being expressed, indicates the true ledy, Mrs, Lincola earned the highest recognition. Meu ac- customed tothe polish of a court bowed to Mrs, Lin- coln’s true womanly character and feeling; it was only the instinotively vulgar, unaccustomed to the etiquatto ud disappointed office seekers why fund faait with her manner or behavior, She was of course not a Eugénio, might have been slightly ‘Western,’” but ehe never fell short of the expression of good com- mon sense, The party which her husband eerved so faithfully, and for which, almost as much as for the conotry, he vao- riflced bis Life, has certainly treated Mra. Lincoln wrth the basest Mgratitade. They held possession of the gov~ ernment at tho time of her great trial and coatrulied the cppropriationa, A paltry sum of $25,000 was voted hor by their indulgence, What, thon, If they had voied her a millon it would have been insuMelent aa a recog. nition of the nation’s debt. The widow and children of Abraham Lincoln jeft as a racred charge upon Whe nation, It wae tho duty ef the pariy which thea con- trolled the supplies to ace that that national obligation was discharged. No sum, howo t, would accom- Mrs, her bal plish that end. A certain ty, suttolont” to roaintein her in a my!e becoming ber position aud dignity, shonid have a aor the disgrace attending the veglig io thia respect fails not npon her or thera, considered as & body, but upon the party who thea heid a controing majority ia the repreventative assembly, That party, now that Mra.
