“A Missing Proclamation”—Lincoln’s
Recognition of the Confederacy.
The Washington Evening Express
of Saturday contains a disclosure of a
startling character, in reference to the
Peace negotiations of the Commis
sioners from South Carolina, with the
authorities at Washington, in 1861.
The editor of the Express says “ the
writer” of the extraordinary state
ment “is well known to and received
by us, and we have every confidence
in the reliability of his statements.”
Notwithstanding this high endorse
ment of its correspondent by the Ex
press, we believe his pretended revela
tions to be sheer fictions. He states
this to be the condition off affairs at
Washington when Lincoln was first
inaugurated:
It will be remembered that on the inaugu
ration of Mr. Lincoln. South Carolina
deputed three commissioners to negotiate (to
be concise) terms of separation, and settle
up the business of the partnership, so far as
that State was concerned. Os course, Mr.
Seward sought to gain time for the new.
Administration, and refused to see or ac
knowledge them officially, etc., but still lured
them to remain. At last they dispatched to
the Executive of their State belief in the
utter hopelessness of peaceful solution, and
announced their purpose to leave the Capital.
This resolve was not executed, simply be
cause Judge Campbell was authorized to say
Unit if their departure, was delayed results
might be obtained tliev little hoped for. On
this hint they lingered, but only to be disap
]x>inted, and then they Uxik their departure.
If the reader had noticed tlic overture of
Judge Campbell to delay the Commissioners,
he will suppose that gentlenum had some
ground for his opinion, and had reasonable
assurances that a happy issue, in his judg
ment, would grow out of tho delay he craved.
Wlurt those grounds and assurances were
can only lie conjectured; but they must have
proceeded from high official sources; and,
viewed in the light of what 1 am idsrut to
say, and which is true as damonstrntion,
makes conjecture reality.
Our recollection is different from
“Pacolet.” Those commissioners Iro In
K-.uth Carolina were not ap|>ointcd
••on the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln,”
bnt some time previous. They did
not attempt to negotiate for terras of
separation with Lincoln, but with
Mr. Buchanan, who positively de
clined to have anything to do with the
members of the delegation in their
official capacity as Commissioners from
the sovereign State of South Carolina.
Mr. Bi < iianan took the position that
if hejreceivcil the delegation it would
be regarded by the country as recogni
tion of the legality’ of secession. The
President, w hile declining to sec the
Commissioners officially, cordially in
vited them tocall on them as citizens;
but the latter, maintaining that they
were no longer citizens of the United
States declined all his overtures. All
this transpired before Lincoln’s ar
rival in Washington.
But her£iJ the essence of “Paco
let’s” “startling discourse” in his own
language:
Shortly after the breaking off of the efforts
to avert the dire catastrophe of war, a gentle
man having free access to the private office
of President Lincoln repaired to the capital
rtf South Carolina, and deposited With a high
official of that State a manuscript proclama
tion by President Lincoln, duly prepared and
ready for his signature, announcing to the
American people, that rather than plunge
the country in civil war, the Executive Gov
ernment of the United States acquiesced in
the dismemberment of the Union. With this
was a column editorial, in slip form, with
corrections, supposed to lie Mr. Lincoln’s, re
citing freely the words of the instrument,
vindicating the Executive act, and challeng
ing for it flic approval of the American peo
ple.
This is my statement of the missing record.
That it was not issued was due to the intense
feeling evolved by the firing on the Star of
the West.
That there were members of Mr.
Lincoln’s Cabinet favorable to the
issuance df such a Proclamation, we
have very good reason to know ; but
Mr. Lincoln did not concur with
them. He constantly dwelt on the
idea, advanced in his first inaugural,
that he “had an oath registered in
Heaven” to see the laws faithfully exe
cuted and the Union preserved. Mont
gomery Blair backed hint up with
the usual malignancy of the family,
boldly advocating what was then
characterized as coercion. Mr. Chase
thought if the South were “let alone”
their leaders would soon quarrel among
themselves, and the people would re-,
turn to the old Union. Seward acted
as' only Seward can act. At least,
this was the understanding in the best
informed circles in Washington at that
time. It was a little remarkable that
the Abolition element of tho Republi
can party were at first disposed to let
the “wayward sisters depart in peace.’’
But Sumter changed the cry, and a
terrible war was the result.
It will be seen that the Express cor
respondent says he has personally in
spected both documents, and is quite
positive as to their genuineness :
1 will not defy contradiction of the state
ment herein made, but from personal inspec
tion of both documents, and certain ear
marks inherent in the second, 1 affirm their
genuineness as confidently as I believe in the
existence of my being.
Gigantic Frauds in New Orleans.
The New York Tribune of the 26th
has the following highly interesting
dispatch from Washingtsn :
A gentleman who lias just arrival in this
city from New Orleans, and who, during his
visit at that city, took particular pains to in
quire into matters in connection with the
collection of the revenue, reports the most
appalling corruptions in all branches of that
service, lie says that, with but two or three
exceptions, thieves and plifhdcrcrs.
I from the first, been in Louisiana,
i/n-o'subordinates have been suin
[ cicntly in collusion with them to enable them
to cany out their schemes and robbery; that
officers of different districts have been
leagued together in perpetrating and cover
ing up the immense cotton frauds amounting
to millions. Ife says that there were over
forty licensed distilleries running in New
Orleans during the last fiscal year, and that
the Government did not collect tax enough to
pay the salaries of the stare-keepers. No dis
tiller hits ever yet been prosecuted in Louisi
ana, to a final conviction. Bonded ware
houses for liquors have ■ been robbed of
thousands of barrels. Warehouses were
burned down where the liquors had been
previously stolen. Bonds of Collectors have
been wliolly worthless, the securities when
accepted being notoriously insolvent. Ware
house bonds have been largely of the same
character. He reports that the Judge of an
imporflmt court is openly denounced as un
faithful to his trust, and’that the U. 8. Dis
trict Attorney is charged with being in tlie
“ring,” and that the defendants in certain
wine law-suits soon to lie tried in that city
have openly boasted that they have so
“fixed” things that the Government can
never obtain a verdict in the U. 8. Court.
The Secretary’ of the Treasury lias been
advised by merchants of high standing in
New Orleans that gross frauds were commit
ted last Winter and Spring iu the Custom
House, and that Custom House officers and
Internal Revenue officers have colluded to
gether in the fraudulent shipment of whis
key; that men holding small salaried offices
have suddenly become rich, some buying
plantations and valuable stock, others valua
ble city property, some spending tens of
thousands upon ~ last women, and others
losing still larger sums at the gaming-table
and horse-races, while yet another, as rumor
has it, is enabled to pay $40,000 to get
elected to a high Congressional ]K>st, filling
certain New Orleans offices from top to lx>t
tom with the negro legislators, and paying ■
them $3 a day ft>r doing nothing. Tlie gen
tleman who is here and gives this informa
tion, save that all these matters have been
reported over and over again to the Secretary
of the Treasury’ anti other authorities con
cerned. but that nothing lias been done to
stem the tide of corruption that is sweeping
over the whole country, except to send down
a mere boy from the Treasury Department,
who writes buck to Washington telling ot
the vast amounts of money tliat he could get
if lie would only join teams witli the revenue
officers. This gentleman further says the
only remedy that now seem* possible is to
send a Congressional committee of investiga
tion to New Orleans, with power to examine
fully into the alleged frauds and corruptions.
From all the information we have
been able to obtain, tho above is not
an exaggeration of the frauds which
have been carried on by Government
officials since the Federal occupation
of New Orleans. This “gentleman”
to whom this corres|unid<'iit alludes,
ha* made no new discovery. As he
—■■!■ 11
says, these wholesale frauds extend
back for years and amount to many
millions. Absolutely, there seems. to
be no means of bringing these fashion
able thieves tojustice—they are abund
antly able to purchase all of her offi
cers. The Government’s experience
in making removals has been that a
set of surfeited rascals go out and
another set come in. The proposition
to send a Congressional Committee to
investigate the matter is simply a trick
to .allow several “fast” Congressmen
to spend a few weeks iu New Orleans
at the expense of the country. At the
end of their spree they would make a
voluminous report, in which they
would declare the Government had
been defrauded of millions; but they
would not propose any plan to recover
one dollar of the stolen funds. It is
stated that General ’Grant declares
he will break up thege rings if .he has
to fill all the officcswfith army officers.
It is doubtful whether this plan would
produce the desired result.
It is a notorious fact that many of
the biggest Government thieves served
their apprenticeship in the army during
the war.
There is a plan by which General
Grant can fill the offices with faithful
men, and that is in no instance to
appoint any applicant endorsed by any
politician that hangs round Washing
ton and makes a living by selling his
supposed influence. Most of the ap
pointments to fat offices since the war
have been secured by bribing these
lobbyists, and it may be set down as
morally certain that the man who will
buy an office will rob the Government
to get his money lack. Let General
Grant reject all such applicants, and
he will have honest subordinates;
otherwise, not.
