Willie Lincoln (search for this): chapter 16
Xv. Wednesday night, February 10th, was an exciting one at the White House, the stables belonging to the mansion being burned to the ground. The loss most severely felt was of the two ponies, one of which had belonged to Willie Lincoln, the President's second son, who died in 1862, and the other to Tad, the youngest, and pet of his father, who in his infancy nicknamed him Tadpole subsequently abbreviated to Taddie, and then) Tad. His real name is Thomas, named for the father of Mr. LincolMr. Lincoln. Upon Tad's learning of the loss, he threw himself at full length upon the floor, and could not be comforted. The only allusion I ever heard the President make to Willie was on this occasion, in connection with the loss of his pony. John Hay, the assistant private secretary, told me that he was rarely known to speak of his lost son. The morning following the fire, Robert Lincoln came into his father's office, and said he had a point of law which he wished to submit. It appeared that o

The morning following the fire, Robert Lincoln came into his father's office, and said he had a point of law which he wished to submit. It appeared that one of the coachmen had two or three hundred dollars in greenbacks in his room over the stables, which were consumed. Robert said that he and John Hay had been having an argument as to the liability of the government for its notes, where it could be shown that they had been burned, or otherwise destroyed. The President turned the matter over in his mind for a moment, and said, The payment of a note presupposes its presentation to the maker of it. It is the sign or symbol of value receive

Mr. Lovejoy was very severe upon it; he said, Any a President. This drew out his indignant condemnation. I tell you, said he, Mr. Lincoln is at heart as strong an anti-slavery man as any of them, but he is compelle is too strong with the masses. For my part, he concluded, I am not only willing to take Mr. Lincoln for another term, but the same cabinet, right straight through.

The General rode during the battle a horse which went by the name of John Jay, a great favorite with his son.

Oh, said his father, your horse behaved very badly during the fight; he insisted, very cowardly, upon taking me to the rear. The little fellow's eyes sparkled.

er of it. It is the sign or symbol of value received; it is not value itself, that is clear. At the same time the production of the note seems a necessary warrant for the demand; and while the moral obligation is as strong without this, governments and banking institutions do not recognize any principle beyond the strictly legal. It is an established rule that the citizen cannot sue the government; therefore, I don't see but that it is a dead loss for Jehu. About this time a couple of Kentucky gentlemen called. As they rose to take leave, one of them, who may have noticed little Tad,--as he usually spent much time in his father's office,--said to the President: General Crittenden told me an interesting incident about his son, eight or nine years old, a few days since.

om various sections were introduced one day by the Secretary of the Treasury. After a few moments' general conversation, Mr. Lincoln turned to one of them, and said: Your district did not give me so strong a vote at the last election as it did in 1860. I think, sir, that you must be mistaken, replied the banker. I have the impression that your majority was considerably increased at the last election, No, rejoined the President, you fell off about six hundred votes. Then taking down from the bookcase the official canvass of 1860 and 1864, he referred to the vote of the district named, and proved to be quite right in his assertion. During this interview,--related to me by one of the party, Mr. P-, of Chelsea, Mass.,--a member of the delegation referred to the severity of the tax laid by Congress upon the State Banks.

Seymour (search for this): chapter 17
Xvi. Wednesday, March 2d, I had an unusually long and interesting sitting from the President. I invited my friend, Mr. Sinclair, of New York, who was in Washington, to be present. The news had recently been received of the disaster under General Seymour in Florida. Many newspapers openly charged the President with having sent the expedition with primary reference to restoring the State in season to secure its vote at the forthcoming Baltimore Convention. Mr. Lincoln was deeply wounded by these charges. He referred to them during the sitting; and gave a simple and truthful statement of the affair, which was planned, if I remember rightly, by General Gillmore. A few days afterward, an editorial appeared in the New York Tribune, which was known not to favor Mr. Lincoln's renomination, entirely exonerating him from all blame. I took the article to him in his study, and he expressed much gratification at its candor. It was, perhaps, in connection with the newspaper attacks, th
