LINCOLN WISHED yOSTOP BLOODSHED. -ftllE OFFER HE DID NOT MAKE AIOUS TO HAVE THE WAR CEASE. To the Editor: lief erring to an rtjjele I recently vv rote showing that a the Hampton Koads Conference, Mr. Lincoln made no ,ocx of any tqijis to the South except unco ,dljipnal suljinission, I wish to add a vAvorp .wjqh doubtbss will be of in terest to some of your readers. Al though Mr. Lincoln offered no terms jUt ,tlip .conference, yet he took the subject under consideration, and as far as Mr. Lincolu was personally concerned, President Davis' purpose m proposing and having that con ference was not without effect. Mr. Lincoln returned to Vashiygtn an imated by the purpose to close the tva.r, if possible, without further (bloodshed, and to save the millions ,of dollars expended in carrying it on. He spent a whole day in considering (the subject and' on the evening of February 5th, called his cabinet to gether to lay his ideas before them He submitted to his cabinet a mes sage to i! gross ;iu which l;e asked i;jugress to pass a resolution author izing, him to offer to the South four hundred millions of dollars; one half to be paid when the Confederate armies were -disbanded, if done by April 1st, and the other half to be Pftid when Ltie constitutional amend iiient abolishing slavery was adopted, jif done by July 1st. f'jjo .cabi-t however unanimously 6bected. ' The subject was then .dropped and 9 ever $f towards brought up. in an article published jin the New York Tribune, Septem .ber 13th, 1885, Secretary Usher first .made this matter known to the pub lic. He said : The members of the cabinet were .mil opposed .to it. Mr. Lincoln' see'med somewhat surprised at that and asked, ''How long will the war last?" No one answered, jbut he soou said, "A hundred d.-iys. We areendjin,' now in carrying on (the war three millions a day, which will iii mi 11 f fn ill tliii! niAiifiti 1 ui- sides all the lives." With a deep sigh, he added, ''But you are all opposed to me and 1 will not send he message." Secretary Wells in his diary said : "The fccheme did not meet with .fa ,vor but vas dropped. Jn the present temper Congress, tl,se proposed measure, if a xvjSG one, would not be curried through successfully." The matter never was brought up again. It wiij never communicated ,to any Com federate. It was not made public. John Hay fays in his jiistory, "Few cabinet secrets weie better kept than this proposal of the President and its discussion."' I make these quotations from the Jiistory of Abrajiatn JjjneoJu, writ ten by John O. Nicholey and John Hay, private secretaries to the l'resi dent; and this chapter is published in the Njoveipbcr number of The jUe u tu ry, 1889. This narration shows that Mr. Lincoln never made any offer of erins at Hampton Koads; but that )ic was led to consider the subject ; that he was anxious to have Congress to authorize him to make this offer ,of four huiju'reu1 millions for imme diate peace; that the maliguants ob jected; that sorrowfully he allowed himself to be overrule ; that the matter was kept a cabinet secret ; that it was never communicated to any Confederate; that it was only made pubiip ypa;$ afterwards. It also shows that Mr. Lincoln Was dominated by the maliguants. He did pip(t ijarfi to antagonize them. He knew them and submitted to tjiem. Andrew Johnson did, after slavery was abolished, aster the South had submitted unconditionally, and h.ad come back into the Union, dare to ppp-se them; and they impeached him. Some .people are in the habit of Siying, "Had Mr. Lincoln lived, thus and so." The truth is if Mr. Lin coln had lived, the maliguants would have dominated him as they always dominated him. He never antago nized them. His kindliness of heart led m one way, the maligntuts compelled him another way. S. A. Asiik, in News & Observer. A Life And.JJtea.Ui Fight. Mr. W. A. Hines of Muncht'Bter, la., writin? of hiw almost miraoulous escape from (ieaili, Buys : "Exposure after rueaislts induced serious lung trouble, which ended in Consumption.

Her rippling laughter revelled up the bos om of the breeze, Her f-oug sunt silvery hhivers through the whiskers of the trees, A.nd every bird that heard her notes with jealousy rav n'.a And wished ,tJ.i asthma would attack the throat of Poiiy Hoot. Her eyes were, bright and piercing as the optics of the skunk ; In thnir intoxicating light my soul went on a drunk ; I lia sunlight loved to nestle in the meshes of hah, The Jr.nebugs loved to crawl across her ho brown and bare. No im tamed broncho on the range cculd give the maid the ulnthy, And riding at full gailou she could rope a rattlesnake, Aud when it came to thootiug not a shooter hhot a shoot So deadly as the tdioots she shot, that keen eyed Polly Uoot. At eyery dance sweet Polly ltoot was there with bcth her fort, And as t wall flower you can bet she never warmed a seut. For every cowboy on the range was keen to get the chance To tangle up their leet with hers and swing her in the dance, 'All balance heifers to yer stags !" the fid Uler ho would roar. And Pollj's pounding feet wpnld raiso bio; blisters on the fc.jor. And at the call to ''Grab an' swing" you'd one? scon her t.eoot fn.to the arms set like a '.ntp to catch sweet Tolly Hoot. I see the cultivated flower quite often in the tow;j, The form once hid in calico wrapped in a costly gown, The feet and ankles once so nude in boots and silken hose, And glasses held with goldau chain astrad dle of her nose. The face her cowboy hat once fanned, the facH once walnut l;;'Q'yn, Is now Kept at low temperature by lau of fieecy down, And on the cards she carrier in a silver Case so cute, In fteel engraven letters is Hie name PauN yna liuytte.
