MACON, APRIL 19, ’.870.
Cougres* Oixlslde the Constitution.
The Georgia Bill.—AccordiDg to appoint-
ment, to-day is to determine tho fate of the
Georgia bill in the Senate. We take it for
granted that nothing good will happen. It is
pretty safe to assume, in these times, that noth
ing reasonable, sensible or right, as we under
stand it, will be done by Congress. Congress is,
in fact, confessedly working in antagonism to
the views, feelings and interests of the South-
ora people, on a scheme of punishment and
repression, founded upon the allegation that
her people are hostile, traitorous and ill-disposed
to the government and the public welfare.
It is but reasonable, therefore, to assume that
Congress will do the worst they have the actual
power to do; and wo expect they will keep on
doing it for many years. Tho end of this inter,
ference with and reconstruction of the States
may not be reached in a decade. Usurpation
like a soap-bubble, will always swell and grow
ail it bursts, and when it bursts there’s not
much left. That will be the case with this
^omnipotent Congress” after a catastrophe.—
There are few things more weak and impotent
than a council of three hundred lawless and
tyrannical rulers, when they divide and quarrel,
The only real permanent strength of such a
body as Congress lies in the lino of strict jus
tice, rectitude and law. That gives them a moral
power with tho people which is very gTeat, if
not irresistible. But when publio confidence
and affection are gone, and corruption and self
ishness have at last culminated, as they are sure
to do, in division and discord, such a body sinks
at once from the arrogance of lawless and illim
itable power to utter defencelessness.
History is full of illustrations in point if we
had time to refer to them. From a haughty
tyrant it collapses of a sudden into a timorous
victim. It is no match at all for the one man
power, which counsels and decrees in solitude
and secresy, takes its adversaries all unpre
pared and strikes with the suddeness, celerity
and power of the thunderbolt. Hence, by and
by the people will see Congress now so haughty,
intolerant, implacable and despotic—smiling
■with contempt at intimations that its action
should be governed and restrained by the Con
stitution—at the mercy of the Executive power,
and discovering that he can show far belter
speed and bottom in traveling outside of the
Constitution than they can.
Spasmodic Chabity.—A World correspondent
reviews the colored population of Washington,
which numbers thirty-eight thousand, and em
braces thousands of paupers, living upon what
they can beg and steal, to eke out the cold char
ities of a Radical Congress in the shape of
weekly rations of beans. The correspondent
says, with the exception of a few who are drill
leaders, the colored population cf Washington
does not make itself obnoxious to the whites.
Most of them would work if they could get a
chance ; but employment is scarce, and though
tompted by the strongest inducements to try
tho fields of the Southwest, they are quite un
willing to expose their newly found liberties to
tho dangers of a transfer to the South. They
doze away existence in all forms of wretched
ness, poverty and disease, in the streets and
doorways, and in the Capitol, sleeping over tho
eloquence of Mr. Sumner. There was great
complaint among the blacks—they were forgot
ten till election day rolled round, and then
found themselves suddenly remembered so far
as to get a free ride to the polls. That is what

How to Prevent Misalliance.—The Charles
ton Daily Republican tells of an aristocratic ne-
gress, one Venus Cooley, who, on Wednesday
last, assisted by her sons, Cuffy and Emanuel
Fishbourne, forced her daughter Susan, a girl
about nineteen years of age, into the stable in
rear of the doctor’s premises, there stripped
her of all clothing, and hoisted her, by a rope
around her body, up to a joist. One of the
brothers then gave her an unmerciful beating
with a heavy cart whip. During tho whipping
process the rope broke, and the bleeding and
almost insensible girl fell some distance to the
atone pavement, and while thus helplessly lying
on the floor of the stable, the mother set upon
her, and beat and kicked her in the most brutal
way. All this was in the way of penalty for
contracting an unwelcome matrimonial alli
ance.
The World has been analyzing Solomon
Grant’s advice t6 the negroes in that Fifteenth
Amendment proclamation: “ Grant tells bis
black friends that they must strive ‘ to make
themselves worthy of the new privilege
which is to say that they are not now worthy.
They are not fit to vote, but must vote inorder
to vote. Also,- says SolomoD, negro suffrage
must be educated, to bo • a blessing and not a
dinger;’ which means that, not being edu
cated, it is a danger and not a blessing.”
Another Arctic Expedition.—Dr. Hayes,the
Arctic explorer, arrived in Washington last
Thursday at the instance of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, in order that they
may obtain his views, as to the propreity of an
appropriation for a new expedition to the North
Pole.
Bro. Whutemobe’s son is “a chip of the old

of dollars from bis father’s constituents by lay

He told tho darkies his father would soon bo
along with a drove of mules.
We have from Havens & Brown, the “Over
land Monthly,” a San Francisco Magazine of
very fair fame and decided merit It is more
especially devoted to the interests of the Pacifio

A Refuge fob Dogs.—Philadelphia has estab-
iahed at much expense “City Refuge for aban
doned Dogs,” whore they are put to death in a
kindly manner. That is a veiy fine thing in
Philadelphia, and if they will extend this provi
sion to “humans,” more suicides may be pre
vented.
Rose Etyinoe, actress, was lately married to
George H. Butler (nephew of Gen. B. F. But
ler,) and proceeds to Egypt with her hnsband,
who has just been appointed United States Con
sol. We should judge this Rose to be very bad
ly blown, indeed, to hazard restoration by an
alliance with the Bntler family.
Mb. George Holland, the veteran actor, now
in his 79 th year, is to have a complimentary

The Charleston papers say Messrs. J. D.

ifflnMmrftTi
To-Day* "
We suppose, will settle tho fate of the Bing
ham amendment.
In this decision tho people of Georgia are
very gravely interested, and they will natural^
look to it with absorbing interest. That amend
ment, they believe, will give them an opportu
nity to right many things they feel to be wrong,
and correct many abuses that, whether inten
tionally or not on the part of those in power,
have grown up in the administration of civil
affairs.
They want it passed in the interests of peace
—that is the paramount consideration with
them. If Bollock and the Agency, as at present
constituted, are allowed to expend their power
they will surely enter upon a course of legisla
tion that will certainly breed more hate and
bitterness than now exists, and lead almost in
evitably to collisions and bloodshed.
If the people of Georgia had tho least idea
that Bullock and the majority of the Agency
had the true interests of tho State at heart, and
would work to that end, they might be willing
to waive their constitutional right to an election
in November, and see these men hold on four
years longer. But they do not, and they cannot
believe any such thing. The character and
past conduct of these legislators stands an em-
phatio negative against any such proposition.
They have shown themselves utterly selfish,
thoroughly unscrupulous, and recklessly indif
ferent to any consideration that does not fall
within the narrow circle of self and party.
They are bent on filling their pockets first, and
then bedevilling the white people of the State
as far as they dare.
Bollock is a worthy leader of such a crowd.
He is “on the make” as they are, and hates the
white people of Georgia as the devil does holy
water. He don’t care a copper for the State
honor or interests, or the dignity of his high
office. If he can make a $1,000,000 or so of
jobs in the next fonr years, and at the same
time gratify his mean revenge upon tho intelli
gence and virtue of the State for despising him
so hoaitily, Ms Southern mission will be accom
plished. Ho can retire to sweet Albion and set
up as a shoddy swell, or perhaps travel in Eu
rope as a representative of Yankee aristocracy.
The people of Georgia who pay the taxes do
not want their money squandered, or their
throats ent, and therefore they are anxious to
get rid of Bullock and his packed Legislature.
It is a very natural feeling, though possibly a
very disloyal one. If they are disappointed,
and Bollock is made their lord and master for
fonr years more, they will try and bear it
as well as possible. They have been tried as
people with Anglo-Saxon blood never were tried
before, and they have shown themselves of true
metal all through. A few creatures whoso souls
are in their bellies have deserted; but the great
mas3 have stood firm to the faith and principles
of their fathers, and the instincts and teachings
of a genuine manhood. They will bear ills
that cannot be helped with courage and con
stancy. They will keep the peace and respect
and maintain the laws, so long as the peace and
the laws are worth keeping. "When the name
of one .and the authority of the other are
invoked to their destruction, they will then
consider if there is no other way to save them
selves. This we are confident is the sthtus and
feeling of nine out of every ten real wMte men
in the State.
We hope the Senate of tho United States
will, by its vote, this day, approve the position
of Georgia’s 4best friends, and decree that
peace, real peace, shall have as fair a showing
here as elsewhere. The defeat of the amend
ment will be a deadly blow to the hopes of every
man, everywhere, who really wishes well to the
State. _

A Radical Congress.
The Radical press of the North is a great deal
wiser than the Radical Congress. They see
that hell is gaping wide for the country and Con
gress too, on the politics of Bntler and Sumner,
bat Congress neither see nor know. Wo copied,
the other day, an editorial from the Chicago
Republican, protesting against the coarse pur
sued towards Georgia by Congress, but were
told by the Atlanta New Era that the Republi
can was a 1 rumbull paper. Mow we add the
Chicago Tribune on tho same subject. The
Tribune is the great Radical paper of the West,
having more circluticn and influence than any
half dozen Radical papers in that country. See
what the Tribune says:
Without dissenting from the wisdom and pa
triotism wMch have required that every State
heretofore readmitted into the Union should
first have elected State officers and Representa
tives in Congress of tho Republican pattern,we
trust we may be permitted, witbont mortal of
fence to tho little people who make their living
oat of politics, to doubt whether its interests,
or those of the country, require that Georgia,
which has Republican, officers now, should be
kept out of the Union for fear she may elect
Democratic officers hereafter. This is tho exact
quality of tho milk in tho Georgia cocoannt,
which is now being tossed from the House to
the Senate, and back.
But the Tribune continues :
The roadmission of Georgia will restoro the
Union, and, so far as the mission of the Repub
lican party was to restoro the Union, its mission
will- be ended. But we have inveterate and
profound contempt for that obstructionist class
of mere partisans who, having made something
out of tho war, would fain keep rebel animosi
ties and discontent alive, under tho apprehen
sion that, when they are mustered out against
the rebels, they will be discharged from politi
cal life altogether, as having no capacity for
anytMngelso. Such politicians rightiy suspect
their incapacity, and the pcoplo should tako
them at their word.
When the reconstruction question has, like
the negro question, been settled, as it will be by
the admission of Georgia, the chief duly of the
Republican party will be to restore the prosperi
ty of the country from the low stage to which it
was brought by tho devastations and distraction
of tho war, and, at tho same time, to enhance
tho national credit, not only by a judicious and
wise revenue system, but by absolute concord
and revived and enlarged commerce, and frater
nal feeling between tho sections lately at war.
Tho pretence that tho rebel States are a smonl-
dering volcano is a deadly assault upon the na
tional credit, as well as a political untruth. It
is tho first duty of tho Republican party to stamp
underfoot every misguided effort to keep alive
the animosities of the war, now that the ballot
is firmly and irrevocably secured to the mnn,
cipated raeg.
Suppose the Democrats carry tho next elec
tion in Georgia, as they are very likely to do
under the present provocation, what harm will
result to tho State, or what reason will that fact
if it could bo predicted, furnish why tho State
should not now be readmitted? None what
ever. We know the silent omnipotence of the
ballot to seenre kind treatment by the politician
toward those who need it. What if, in tho
State at large, the Democrats, former slave
holders and ex-rebels have a majority? In
many of the counties the two parties are evenly
divided, and in not a few, the Republicans,
most of whom are black, are in the majority.
To cater to and win the colored vote in these,
politicians qf every grade will soon learn to
treat tho black man with decent respect, if not
with genuine kindness, at elections and else
where, thronghont the entire State.
No more is needed. It is not essential to tho
peace of Georgia that the black minority shall
rale tho wMte majority forever. It is not con
sistent with manliness and dignity in Republi-
cans to plot for or abet that anti-republican ess
outrage. Tho blacks of Georgia being confes
sedly in.the minority in numbers, in property,
in intelligence, and in capacity for government,
bave not tho audacity to ask or expect to gov-
om the State. It would be a three-fold outrage
against the right of the majority, the interest
of tho tax-payers, and the rale of intelligence,
to coerce the State to submit to their rule by
Congressional legislation. Again we urge that
tho State of Georgia be promptly admitted
without conditions, and tho Union'restored.

We clip the following items from the Bam- j ^ ^ sWcd befor6i th0 PreB j de nt informed
bridge Aagns:
Death of R. Gbimmeb, Esq.—Last Thursday
we chronicled the death of Mrs. Grimmer, wife
of the gentleman whose name heads this para
graph, and now it is our painful duty to report
his demiso. Thus, in the short space of one
week, both heads of the family have gone to
eternity. They leave five Children, three of
whom are girls.
The work on the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and
Colombns Railroad goes on finely. By June
the whole wiU be finished to Colquitt. Pay
ments to contractors are promptly made, and
stockholders respond liberally, so far as we can
learn.
Serious Accident.—On Thursday last, as Mr.
Jesse Reynolds was going to his home in the
country, his horse took fright, ran away and
threw Mr. R. from his buggy, breaking an arm
and leg.
A sturgeon seven feet long, weighing 200
ponnda was caught in the Chattahoochee river,
at Fort Gaines, last week.
Tho Atlanta City ConncU have proMbited
Sunday shaving by a recent ordinance.
The sMp Clara Morse cleared from Savannah
for Liverpool, Saturday, with 3626 bales of up
land cotton, worth $356,083.80, and 175 bags of
sea island cotton, valued at $19,360.10.
The Savannah Republican announces the
death, in that city, on Saturday, of Mr. C. E.
O'Sullivan, for tMrty years or more connected
with that paper; also, same date, of Mr. H. S.
Bell, for many years connected with the News
office ; and of Mr. John C. Ferrill, a prominent
banker and broker of that city.
The Savannah cotton statement for the week
ending Saturday, 9th instant, shows total re-
Senatoia Johnston, of Virginia, and Boreman,
of West Tirginia, that he had prepared a mes
sage to Ongress recommending universal am
nesty, an< that he would transmit it to that
body afte the admission of Texas and Georgia;
that, in is opinion, the time for general am
nesty 1st arrived, and that he thought Con
gress slotldpass a bill enabling all political of
fender/to become enfranchised by going to the
neares court, registering, and taking a proper
oath. The publication of these facts aroused
the oponents to general amnesty—among them
a fewienators and Representatives—who have
beentince that time exerting their influences
with he President to have the message delayed
or sc aside altogether.
Ntwithstanding the unqualified denial by the
Assciated Press of the real facts, it is never-
theiss true that the subject of amnesty has
ben sovoral times talked over by the President
an his Cabinet, and General Grant adheres to
hi original purposo; and the draft of a mes-
sao to Congress on the subject is now lying
npn his table. Meantime accounts of ontrages,
afiged to have been committed, recently in
Nrth and South Carolina and Alabama upon
cored persons, have been brought to the ne-
tie of the President by Senator Warner and
oiers, as a reason why the amnesty proclama-
tfn should not now be issued.
Senator Warner vouches for the reliability of
sue of those accounts, whilst others are not
cedited. Secretary Fish had an interview
tth the President on the subject to-day, and
pproves the course proposed by the President,
■eneral Sherman also approves the amnesty
message, and to-day remaiked that amnesty
■ould tend to soothe tho two or three hundred
housand persons disfrancMsed in the South and
anse them to assist in putting down lawless-
iess; and this class of people would no longer
le found saying: “We are not citizens, and
lon’t care if the laws are violated.” Admiral
Porter also remarked that general amnesty

A Millen correspondent of the Constitutional
ist sends that paper an acconnt of a cure effect
ed in his family, of a child that had been pois
oned by eating yellow jasmine flowers. He says:
One cf my ’grandchildren, a little boy about
twenty months old, with others, was taken to
the woods close by, by its nurse, to gather flow
ers. ! While there, the little fellow ate several
jasmine blossoms, how many it is not known,
but in a very few moments he was taken vio
lently ilL His whole system was relaxed. When
brought to the honse he conld neither sit nor
stand, and was perfectly blind. His mother
took Mm and applied Mm to her breast, wMoh
he immediately took hold of and commenced
sucking. We sent for a physician, and in the
meantime prepared a hot bath with mustard,
and put him in it, letting him stay about five
minutes, took Mm out, wiped Mm dry, wrapped
Mm in a blanket, and applied him again to the
breast, administering to Mm at foe same time a
tcaspoonfnl of castor oil.
We noticed by his pulse that a reaction had
taken place. We had a cow milked, and gave
him about a gill, perhaps a little more, to drink.
We again gave him another teaspoonful of cas
tor oil and about a gill of the cow's milk. By
tMs time ho commenced improving rapidly, and
at eight o’clock, when the doctor arrived, we
had the satisfaction of seeing the little fellow
almost entirely relieved, except as to his blind-
ness ; he loft Mm sbont twelve o’clock mid
night. Next morning he was up and apparenlv
as well as ever.

Commercial Review or Ibe Week.
New Yorii, Saturday Klebt, April 9* 1870.
Cotton—Receipts of cotton for the week are
the same as last week; although a falling off
was expected. The total receipts for the ex
pired portion of the cotton year are 2,443,000
bales, against 1,888,000 bales for the corre
sponding period of last year—tMs excess show
ing clearly the rapidity with wMoh the crop is
being marketed. The total exports to date are
1,604,000 bales, against 1,064,000 bales at the
corresponding week of last year. TMs excess
of exports has gone far towards settling foreign
indebtedness and preventing an outflow of spe
cie. The stock at Havre is 60,000 bales, against
43,000 bales last year. At Liverpool it is 455,-
000 bales, against 319,000 bales last year. On
the rest of the continent of Europe, stands
29,000 bales, against 15,000 bales last year.
The stock of American cotton afloat for Great
Britain is 218,000 bales, against 152,000 bales
last year.
The present crop is generally estimated at
three million bales, worth, at the average price,
about two hundred and fifty millions in gold,
Former crops have exceeded the present one in
number of pounds, but no crop has ever real
ized so large an amount of money.
A glance at the above figures footed up will
demonstrate the swiftly returning prosperity of
the Sonth.
Imports. —The imports this week were nearly
seven millions. The exports over three millions
in produce and seventy-seven thousand in
specie.
The Dry Goods trade of the week is not up
to merchants’ expectations. The acconnts are
very unsatisfactory, and in some oases Western
jobbers are pressing goods on the market at
reduced prices. There will be more activity in
exports when the lake, rives and canal naviga
tion is fully open. The spring of 1870 will go
upon the record as the most unprofitable of the
paBt five years.

tVIrat They Don’t Want.
The Radical party, ns is well known, is the
party, par excellence, of law, and order, and re
ligion, and progress, and great moral idqps, etc.,
fonr or five times. As an illustration of the
fact, the Washington correspondent of the
Courier-Jonrnal relates tho following:
We don’t want law,” said a prominent Radi
cal to a Conservative, who remarked on the
Ames case, “The committee have the law, but
Ames’ friends havo the power.” “What in the
h—11 do we want with law ?” continued the rep
resentative of “progress and moral ideas.”
“We want the votes; we want the measures to
perpetuate our political power. D—n law;
d—ntho Judiciary Committee. It is old fogy,
and ought to be abolished.” ,
The number of young ladies who are study
ing for the dramatic and lyrical professions in
New York is said to he unprecedentedly great,
ft is melancholy to reflect that tho great ma-
a will necessarily fall far short of the
i of success they have set up for them
selves. On the other hand, considering the
present condition cf the stage, it is sati^Fac-
tory to learn that it is likelv to ba recruited in
departments which have long been scantily
filled. Of woman’8 fitness for this vocation
there can be no doubt, although the toils and
hardships of the artist’s life, like those of the
soldier or sailor, are usually imperfectly un
derstood before the neophyte has gone too far
to recede. The success of such artists as a
Ristori or a Feehtcr has the effect to cause a
rush for.the boards among tho young and en
thusiastic, much like what the achievements
of a Nelson or a Faragut carries into the
navy. In either ca e, the prizes, unhappily,
are few; but it is undeniable that their antici
pation is at least delicious.—New York Times.
How Bullock Pays ms Colored Adjutants.
A correspondent writes to the Atlanta Constitu

I had an interview, two days since, with one
of the negroes who had just returned from
Washington. I asked Mm if they accomplished
anything in going to the capital. To which he
replied that ho did not know, but hoped they
had carried their point, which was to defeat the
Bingham amendment. During the conversa
tion he had occasion to take out his pocket
book, and I remarked to Mm that he seemed tp
have plenty of money.
“Oh, yes,” said he, with ft nod and a grin,
“I’ve got lots of it,” upon which he exMbitcd
no small quantity—enough, I think, to induce
any one to give np profitable employment
and go to lobbying for Bollook, provided they
were not strictly opposed to Ms faction. Now,
I want to know who has to pay these negroes,
with many others who are lobbying for Bol
lock ? Does Bollock do it with Ms own money ?
Wo are all aware he does not.

to Ms immense body. His hair is thin, and
what little he has in front is so arranged as to
make Ms head look still flatter than it is, being
drawn in a straight line at the top of his fore
head from side to side. He wears a greyish
beard, and a mustache that nearly covers his
small mouth, with its thin, white lips, that are
often made whiter still by a deadly, inexpressi
ble smile. His eyes are small and mean, and
he rarely, if ever, lifts their lids, but sits bolt
upright, with his small, neatly-gloved hand on
either thigh, and looks down upon the floor.

UNPUBLISHED history.
Mr, Lincoln's Basis of Restoring the Union
To the Ed tor of the World—Sm : Now that
Texas is reoonstruoted according to modern
Congressional ideas, and all the States but Geor
gia are permitted representation in Congress,
wMch has not been the case before since the
Radical party assumed control of the govern
ment, and as the Fifteenth Amendment is pro
claimed as the completion of the work that has
for so many years troubled Congress, it may be
well to glance at the initiatory steps in this pro
tracted labor of loilty.
When Richmond was evacuated by the Con
federate forces, President Lincoln was at City
Point. He made haste to visit the fallen capi
tal, where he was the guest of Major-General
Weitzel, then commanding the old army of Gen.
Butler, and in oocupancy of the city. On the
evening of the day of the President’s arrival,
April 4,1865, he was waited upon by Hon. John
A. Campbell, then Assistant Secretary of War
for the Confederacy, and one of the Hampton
Roads peace commissioners.
Admiral Porter and General Weitzel were
then with tho President, but rose to retire. The
President, however, detained them, remarking
that it might be better to have witnesses to what
might pass between Mmself apd the Confeder
ate commissioner.
The Judge greeted the President with the
most stndied politeness and respect. The Presi
dent rose, shooFhands cordially with his visit
or, inquired after his health, and then intro
duced Admiral Porter. After a few ordinary
common-place remarks, Mr. LincoM said:
“ General Weitzel informs me thst you have
been particularly desirous of seeing me.”
“I have remained in Richmond,” replied the
Judge, “mainly for the purpose of exerting
what influence I conld to bring tMs war to an
end. I believe that, if your views as to the
terms upon which peace can be had were made
clear to the Southern peoplo. an adjustment of
all our difficulties could be effected and the war
ended.
“ Are yon authorized to speak for Mr. Davis
or the Southern people ?” asked Mr. Lincoln.
“I have no authority to speak for anyone
bnt myself, and appear here wholly in my indi
vidual character,” was the reply.
“ Have you any propositions to make ?’
“Not formally. I have thought of the diffi
culties of the present sitnation a great deal, and
have considered several plans that seemedfeasi
ble for effecting a reconciliation. I think I nn
derstand the desperation of the Southern cause,
I am not prepared to say that the Confederacy
can hold ont longer, nor am I willing to admit
that it must now necessarily collapse. But I
think I may say that, in view of the reverses it
has recently met with, an appeal to the armies,
made in the right spirit and under auspicious
circumstances, would be most influential for
good. Yon will remember, Mr. President, that
at the Hampton Roads conference I suggested
and urged a truce or armistice for a specified
time. That suggestion was not accepted. If
you will allow me I would urge it again now. If
a trace conld now be proclaimed for six montbs
or a year, the armies be withdrawn and per
mitted temporarily to disband and retnm to
their homes, and the inhabitants of the two
sections of the country allowed to visit and com
municate with each other, and interchange sen
timents, I believe it would be virtually the end
of the war. The Southern army, I am satis
fied, conld never again be assembled. The men
are sick of the war, disheartened with defeats,
worn down with hanger and privations, and
anxions to get ont of the army to better their
condition. Once out they would never return,
provided any reasonable inducements were of
fered them to remain out. I am persuaded, sir,
that the most gratifying results would flow from
such a truce.”
Mr. Lincoln heard the Jadge through without
interruption, though listening attentively and
respectfully to all he said. When he had con
cluded, the President simply asked, “Have yon
any other proposition to make ?"
“I have another suggestion,” he replied. “It
relates mainly to Virginia and her quota in the
Southern army. It has occurred to me that,
evenshould my first suggestion be unacceptable,
something may yet he done through individual
State action. The Virginia troops were enlisted
only for the defence of Virginia. They are not
satisfied with being marched out of tho State;
but there is no authority at present that they
can recognize to bring them back. If the gen
tlemen composing the Virginia Legislature
conld be assembled, I have no donbt they would
promptly pass an act recalling their quota from
the Confederate armios. Tills authority the
Virginia troops would recognize, and, if they
were not discharged at once, they would desert
and come home. The Legislature would, I
think, also repeal the act of secession, and put
the State bnc7 :u the Union. It would be emi-
nent’v Citing that the same authority that put
the State out of the Union shonld put it back.
Such a course would avoid many legal compli
cations that must elsewise ensue, and retain
nnbroken the succession of the government I
may add, Mr. President, that to avoid any em
barrassment that might arise from the semi
recognition of tho existing government of this
State, implied in the permission to its Legisla
ture to assemble and carry out these specific
objects, the members might obligate themselves
to resign so soon as these objects are effected,
and give place to a new body, to be elected
under the United States flag."
“Are there any other Southern gentlemen of
influence now in the city?” asked the Presi
dent.
“I don’t think there are any of prominence
thronghont the Confederacy now here," replied
the Judge.
“I would like you to call on me again in the
morning,” said the President “In the mean
time, if you know of any influential citizens who
will accompany you, I would be glad to meet
them also. What you have said shall be can
didly considered and my answer will be given
you to-morrow.
And so the interview ended.
It was then announced that the Malvern had
reached the city, whereupon the President and
Admiral Porter repaired on board, the vessel
being anchored in the stream off the wharf at
Rocketts.
On the morning of the 5th of April, soon af
ter breakfast, “Judge Campbell and a friend”
were announced to the President in the cabin of
the Malvern. They were at once admitted.—
Judge Campbell introduced Ms friend as Mr.
Gustavus A. Meyers, a prominent merchant,'
formerly Mayor of Richmond, and at that time
a member of the State Legislature, who, re
marked, in tho limited time afforded Mm, and
in consequence of the unsettled state of the
city, was the only gentleman of sufficient stand
ing he had been able to find to accompany him.
The President shook hands with Mr. Meyers
and then invited Ms visitors to- seats, offering
them chairs near the long dining table in the
cabin, which was also used as a writing table.
Mr. Lincoln took his seat near the end of tho
table furthest from tho door. Tho Admiral,
who had been smoking and chatting with the
President when the visitors arrived, made a
movement as if to leave the cabin, but wa3 in
vited by his distinguished guest to remain. He
excused himself for a moment, and went out,
bnt soon returned, and, though taking no part
in the interview, was present during tue greater
part of its continuance.
When the company.were fully disposed and
at their ease from a few interchanges of ordi
nary remarks about the weather, the condition
of the city, and other usual generalities, the
President introduced the subject matter of the
interview by addressing Judge Campbell sub
stantially as follows:
“Referring to the suggestions you offered
yesterday on the occasion of your call uponme,
.[ have given the matter my most careful con
sideration. As to the first suggestion, I deem
it one of great importance, but fraught with
many embarrassments. The question of a truoe
was folly considered at the Hampton Roads
conference, and I then became satisfied that I
could not entertain it. It would necessarily in
volve the recognition of a separate government
within the jurisdiction of the United States.
For that reason, if for no other, it could not
then be entertained; and if not then, certainly
not now. If the matter of recognition could be
overcome, I should still deem it impolitic to en
tertain the suggestion. It strikes me that it
would only tend to prolong the difficulty. Even
if, as you now urge, the result should be the
disbandment of the armies, and an inability to
reassemble the Southern army, such an ending
of the contest would settle nothing. The ques
tions in dispnte would remain undeoided, to
breed trouble in the fntnre. But if your people
are sincerely anxious to terminate the war, the
government will receive their surrender of the
contest with the largest magnaimity. And I
deem it but proper that those men now in re
bellion against the constituted authorities of the
land should folly understand the disposition of
the government towards them. I will therefore
give to you my final offer to them, embodying
what I conceive to be indispensable terms of
peace, wMch, if yonjhave any means of reach
ing them, I trust you will lay hefore them."
Mr. Lincoln here drew from the inside beaut-
j pocket of Ms coat a manuscript written oo. parts
handwriting, without date, sienaturA n, , ^ I
and, unfolding it, read as follows!
“As to peace, I have aaid before 1

pardons, and was prompted by a reponejl
mark of Jeff Davis that he would never yl
a pardon from the President of the Tri
States. 1
The President concluded the inteniql
saying: l f
“I have been considering the questions<J
mitting the Legislature of Virginia to tia

ingly appropriate and desirable that th*re|

This ended the conversation on politicals
jects, and very soon after, Judge Campbell]
his friend withdrew with warm eipressim 1
respect towards the President.
On the following morning the President v

had not yet returned, and there penned thil
