LIKCOLK’S BOOK—EXPOSURES OF RADICAL RASCALITY.it aeema that Mrs. Lincoln's “Book/* iu spile of all the efforts to keep It back, is nearly ready for 1 be prose, and will soon make its appearance. The politiclans, offfce holders, and shoddy contractors who one their places and fortunes to her influence, and who turned tbetr backs upon her when her troubles eamo, may look out for equalle. The Louisville “Journal says:An Illinois adbof has been permitted to loak through some of its pages, teeming with all that is rich and rare In Radical rule and r§*~ cality. Hundreds of prominent members of the Radical party are painted in oolors that will make them still more prominent, but, if possible, far less respectable. Tbs Illinois editor gives us an inkliog of what is to come.— He refers especially to the case of John A. Logau. In connection with ibis fresh blown slatesmnn, Mrs. Lincoln records the history of a diamond ring—a splendid solitaire. When Logan presented it to her be gave her to uo* d« rat and that it coet him severs) hundred dollars. Remembering bow few there weic of Logan's friends with whom his word was as good as bis well endorsed bond, she sent 'He ring to % Mew York jeweler with a request that be would tell bar the value of it. As she anticipated, the ring turned out to be worthless—or very nearly to, thrjewelar placing its value el eighteen dollars—and it was relumed to Logan with a message which he probably remembers.From this little incident we toaj foiin eoine idea of the quality of Mrs. Lincoln's book. It il to be hoped ibatsbe will not euffer- hersslf to be deterred from publishing it.
