TUWVTBBU MTAUIT8 AT THE TOMB OF LINCOLN. [Prom our Begular Correspondent] HUlrt; New Yobk, Oot 12, 1866. THE SENSATION of the week liee been the bog as dispatch about the President seeking advice of A. Honey Stanberry, rela tive to ignoring Congress. It was one ot the most glaring gold-gambling specnlative affairs ever con ceived by a shrewd WalT&treet broker. It had its ef fect, and somebody must have made “a pile." Had such a thing occurred daring the latter part of the war it would not have been half as successful, for Jt is said to have been a common thing than for thfae scamps who dabble in gold to forge the names of edi tors, Associated Press agents, the name of the Seero tary of War and others to bogus dispatches, ‘and en deavor thereby to “bull'* or “bear" the market in their favor. It Is, per haps, fortunate for its author that military law is not in vogue, or he would have some of the Government detectives after him with Fort Lafayette in prospective. THE BIO STOBM reached us in its strength last evening and has con tinued to-day. Awnings, weak chimneys, flag-poles, and other loose material has been pretty well shaken. Htages and cars are more crowded than ever. Mud prevails, aud almost everybody has a sour-krout look. THE MUHDEREH* of Otero were hung to-day in presence of an audience of some five hundred people, who stood umbrella- less in the rain to witness the avenging hand of jus tice. It is said there were several ladies present, but this is doubtful. The place where they were hung was almost within sight of th^ spot where they cqm mitted the shocking murder which they to-day ex piated on the gallows. The principal is yet to be tried, the man Viele, who instigated the horrible crime. A MODEL BRIDGE has been built up town, which probably has not its 1 counterpart in the world. It cost only twenty dollars I per foot; is built of wood; is six hundred feet long; | and the man wbo built it has received from the city finances tw elve thousand dollars. The peculiarity of this bridge is that it begins in the watej* and ends in the water. It accommodates po ope, and is used by no one but- river thieves. It was intended as the con' tinuation' of 19Gth street, and is a quiet monument of the scandalous manner in which this city is outrage on sly swindled by pets of our municipal officials. THE LOSS OF THE EVENING STAB caused a thrill of horror throughout this community. Your correspondent bas been prepared at any time within the last two years to hear that this vessel or her consort, the Morning Star, had gone to the bottom with all on board. People who have voyaged upon them have repeatedly told me that they were not strong enough to breast the terrible gales which fre quently sweep over the North Atlantic, and that they would never again sail on them. The newer ships of the line, the Guiding Star, and Rising Star, have the credit, and probably correctly, of being much stronger and better-constructed steamers, aud are doubtless as safe as any of the vessels which ply along our coast. Among the near tliree hundred lives which fell a sacri fice to the disaster to the Evening Star, were those of over ninety of the “unfortunates" of whom Hood wrote so touchingly. Not “ one," but nearly an hun dred of them “have gone to their death," and the wipl Atlantic will for ages chant their requiem. Poor, lost creatures, they have perished from off the face of the earth; no rocord remains that they have ever, lived, for their history was unknown save to them selves, aud there are none to weep for them. Yet most of them had jloubtlyss once been the cherished inmates of happy homes, abandoned in the hour of their shame for a life of humiliation and despair. HOW BOBBEBIES ABF. COMMITTED. Everybody knows" the difficulty experienced by housewives in obtaining good servants. Somehow or other, it has been quite generally ascertained that a considerable portion of the female representatives of the “finest pesantry in the world," who cook our din ners, do our washing and ironing, and sweep and scrub our houses, .are nothing more nor less than sneak-thieves, or the private confederates in crime of some one or more male geniuses of that description. Yet it is 3 very difficult matter to prove, as for Siam- pie: A lady friend of mine had, not long since, what she suppo-ed to be a treasure in the servant girl line, and would have repelled with indignation any suspi cions as to the'character of her “help." But after a while the girl became impudent, and she was dis charged. Not many days had elapsed ere the house was robbed. The property taken was of such a na ture, and w as obtained in such portions of the house as to occasion the belief that the discharged servant had aoihething to do with the theft Still, there waa no proof, and how to get it was a puzzle. Without any confidence in the witcheries of clairvoyants, the lady paid a visit to one, and before she had time to explain her errand was told of it hefself by the medium, and not only that, but wus furnished with an accurate de scription of the very girl who had been sent adrift for impudence. To test the information given by the Clairvoyant, a detective was put upon the truck of the girl, and after some Weeks ipent in the search, found that she Lad procured another situation, that the lady of the house had also been robbed, aud that the thief had flown with her ill-gotten gains, leaving no trace of her whereabouts. 8be doubtless had a male con* federate, who, in the guise of a “cousin*' (all Bridgeta have cousin*) visited the house, and between them the robbery was planned. Moral—kind reader. If your servant girl has a beau, don’t let him visit your house, for it is ten chances to one he is trying to rob you. ^THE SEARCH FOB A DOMESTIC is the bane of a housekeeper’s life, at lea«t here in New York.

Constetotioeal Alliaece.—Ths following irfrosn the Richmond Examiner of a late date: ( • ad alliance or compact has been formed by large numbers of political parties in New York, under the above name—the term constitutional implying devo tion and obedience to the Constitution of the United States without alteration or amendment; the word al liance meaning a Union or league between political parties who may unite under the restoration policy of President Johnson. The constitution ef the “Al liance" is read to each appUcant after taking the fol lowing oath, from which the general meaning of the organization may be inferred—the oath must be taken by members over two crossed sw’ords: “I eolemnly swear in the presence of a just God, to preserve* uphold, protect-and defend the Constitution of the United States, the constitutional and rightfol exponents of the law. I also solemnly swear that I will, when called upon by the lawful Area of the Octa gons, respond to and obey the commauds of the Lines of the Triangles, and will peril life, suffer imprison ment, lose of property, aud every discomfort, to pre serve liberty and jnstice, and to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the consu lt' .. ^ .. tutfonafendrightfighexponeBteotthehv.” Equitable Settlements. ,Altbough scarcely a week bas elapsed since the ^Southern Becordcr pays that Judge Reeno, «t »bovo*Uh of orRiuUaUion m perfects, yet already 3 three organizations are in existence in New York. Letters have been addressed to conspicuous p*!iti- ciana in various parts ol New York tad other States, detailing the proposed pita of organization, tad this correspondence resulted in the formation of two **AI- liances,’’ one in Troy and the other iu Buffalo, and from the enthusiasm with which the movement baa been hailed, we infer that it is very likely soon to extend throughout the United States. the L* s , ‘ e t'-'fin of the Hancock Court, defined the con- “ the State ordinance in reference to the tiijustment of contracts made during the ’■ “ follows: tti’.^Tk lnust ooufine themselves to the — Con- ‘O'-l I) ' Ol.v.ntjon aays contracts in the war l!

The delegation of Southern loyalists visited the tomb of Lincoln at Springfield l*rt week, escorted by a very large procession. Within the cemetery, a short distance from the entrance, and on the left of the road, was stretched a large placard, on which was inscribed the following words : “The murdered President—can a political party prosper under Gud. the fruits cf whose counsels ripene t in this deed ? Peace Demo crat this is your only contribution to tin history of an age otherwise unparalleled in glory!** A few yards farther on the right, was another with the words : “In memortam. Let ns this day resolve that the dead ■hall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, un der God, have a new birth of freedom, and' that a government by the people and for the people shall no 1 perish from the earth 1“ The scene at the tomb is thus described in a special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune : “The decorations were plain, but touching and aug- i festive. Extending over the top of the tomb, and ! longing gracefully over the door, were festooiyB ot leaves, of oak and maple, brilliant with the colors o* autumn, and large wreaths of flowers with crosses of immortelles and dahlias 4ung over the door. On each aide of the tomb were 1mgo rustic vases filled with beautiful flowers. Immediately over the door was In scribed the words, * Abraham Lincoln; let his name be spoken but in reverence, for, although he is dead, hia great deeds live after him, and the lowly shall not hope in vain.' “The procession, with the flag at its head, marched slowly np the ascent and lurmed in double lines near the door, leaving a space in the centre where, near the door of the tomb, stood Colonel 0. T. Branscombe, of Missouri, and Rev. Dr. Newman, of New Orleans. A feeling of the deepest solemnity seemed to pervade the vest assemblage, and many eyes unused to weep were filled with tears, although no word had yet been spoken. •* Colonel Branscombo then slowly read the following oath of coneecration: Standing at the tomb of the Illustrious dead, recall ing his sublime words, his heroic virtue, his unswerv ing fidelity to the great trusts committed to him by the American people, we here make a new consecra tion of oar lives, our fortunes and our country, aud, with uncovered heads and uplifted bands, solemn.y resolve, with the help of Almighty God, that wo will never surrender the contest with despotio power un till the fell apirit of rebellion shall be utterly crushed, until the right of free speech shall be maintained on every inch of American soil, and all men arc estab lished in the foil possession of those inalienable rights wick God has given, and to secure and protect wliiicb is the object of all good govern m nts. At the words, “with uncovered heads and uplifted hands." the loyalists removed their hats and raised their right hands. The entire audience then kneeled, and Dr, Newman gave utterance to an impressive prayer, after which the assemblage silently dispersed. How tbs Radical* Propose to Dispose® of Mr, Davis, No intelligent man can shat his eyes to the fact that occurrences are transpiring all around us, and daily and hourly, which evidence a growing disregard for the forms of decency and law, and for the princi ples of honor, truth and justice. When men’s baser passions were unloosed during the struggle their bit ter instincts were, in too many cases, swept away ab solutely and forever. Individuals now utter witlioui shame, and the public hears without indignation, propositions aud doctrines and falsehoods that a few years since would have aroused aud shocked the heart of tl)* country. Recreant to its first and noblest duty, the Northern press led the way in the disgrace ful path which multitudes have been pursuing, and a large portion of it is to-day guiding and urging the Radical party to follow still iu the road that leads to destruction. No barriers interposed by the laws aud the Constitution have thusfar been permitted to siand between that party and the object of its desires, and it apparently does not intend to be bound by any legal restriction until its vengeance and its greed are fully satiated, We could illnatratfc^tbese views by a hundred examples, but content ourselves for the present with referring to one only. A correspondent of the Boeton Daily Advertiser, in an article protost ing against sending Mr. Davis before £ court and jury for trial, says: “To my mind the sovereign and victorious majority of the people of these United States. arc superior to the courts they have created to serve the ordinary ad ministration of justice. I can, therefore, see no dig nity nor sense in having Jeff. Davis fried by a court, when the people themselves, in a four years' session of overwhelming majesty, have already tried him and unanimously found him guilty. In the very act cf resisting him by force and arms they judged hiui a traitor, deserving depth. To try him now iu a peace court is to admit a doubt of their own rectitude iu the war. The ouly queatiou which uational setf-redpect appears to me to admit is, what shall be done with the traitor’s forfeited life ? Shall it be cut off lgnomiu- iously, or allowed to reach its natural term in disfran chisement and disgrace ?" The author of the above thus coolly proposes that the Government of this country shall simplify Ml questions concerning Mr. Davis by resorting to mob law. It is assumed that the people want Mr. Davis lulled or banished, and that ho has no rights, and thereiore he may be put out of the way summarily or dealt with in inch manner as may be deemed ex pedient. It is a business that is to be determined according to tlie precepts of some divine higher law, snd human courts and governments ought to be lor the time being ignored. Such is the enbatauce of the proportion mbniiuad to Uie highly rtiocuti-d, iitelii- gent and pious citizens of Boston. There wax a turn- when every decent journal iu the country would liuve scoutsd with contempt tad loathiug such struciouu end Infamous suggestions. There wo* a day when no ordinsrily sue and honest men cou-d have been found wbo would here entertained or uttered tbi nn But now that ere treated as being worthy of great consid eration, and as being, in the language of the New York Times, “not without force." That journal, now one of the leading journals of the country, not only re produces the infernal paragraph we have quoted, but appaud* to it aoma viowa of its own that are scarcely less outrageous tad disgraceful. The Times savs: "But it is perfectly fair to look totbe probable re sult tad effect of a trial before deciding upon sub jecting him to that process. If he could be arraigned on charge of treason, convicted by a Jury, under the charge of a dignified court, and sentenced to tlie pnu- lshmeut prescribed by law, something would doubt less have been done to vindicate the law by jodicirt process, and to -make treason odious.- The principle would also be judicially established that an attempt (o eeceue from the Onion, supported by arms, is treason, and thus the right of accession claimed by tbo South ern States would be Judicially urefUinrwn. -On the other baud, it must be born, in mind that bis conviction befbre a jury cannot be deemed- absolute y certain—and the cbancea of failure, and tlie effect of bdlure both damaud consideration." We are here given to understand that It la a per fectly fair tad legal thing before we try Hr. Davis ou the charge preferred against him, to consider tlie probable result or teat proceeding. IT it is at all cer tain that ha will be convicted, then by all mows iet Kim be tried, bat if there be. any chance of hia ac quittal than it were better to hang him out of baml. He has no rights,"ahd tbit it a peculiar case, which the law and the gospel in no way touch. Perhaps it la better than to fall back on the dootriac propounded by the Boston sage, for as the Times observe*: -* It is not easy to tea how tha decision of the tribu nal which, after foar years' trial by war, has delivered its augqit verdict on the attempt of tha South to se cede, and enforced it upon all concerned, can be made more impressive or imposing by the confirming ver dict of a jury. But It is very easy to see that some thin* msy be donh to detract from its solemnity by such an adverse result as is certainly within the limits of possibility." A court might hang Ur. Davis, but then again it might not, and it is safer, therefore, to aceept "the decision of tha tribunal which, after four years' trial of war, has delivered its august vet4iet.-’ That tribunal la tha "sovereign and victorious majority of the people" according to the Pundit we have first re ferred to, and wp all know that "the voice of the pe<W pie la the Voice at Sod." Jt waa evtp so, we suppose, in tha d«y when they criyd 8D* "Crucify Him !

The price will, the Washington Intelligencer supposes, be mn up tp the extravagant rates of 1861, as the speculation, for some "time confined to bankerh and cliques, has now bees enhanced by the commercial pnbhc. We quote ; n It now rages as an epidemic, and will con tinue to do so until the managers of the nut chinery con aee a profit in fettin* down the stocks to tbeir natural level.
