shington correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes as follows: Mrs. Lincoln is a very active woman.--Nothing escapes her eye.

It seems that the corporation attorney, Mr. Bradley, in his opinion declaring it unnecessary to go into a new election now, in view of Mr. Wallach having been heretofore chosen Mayor pro tem. during Mr. Berret's " disabilty," admits that had the pro tempore selection taken place in consequence of "disability" arising from sickness of the actual Mayor, and the latter had subsequently died, a new election then would be necessary.
