SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 3l.-A report from Wash
ington, that Sir. Lincoln has written to SCHUYLER
COliax and other Republican Congressman, urging
the passage of compromise measures, is authorita-
lively cont radicted.
Judge Belts made a speech last night before a Re
publican caucus. He expressed himself strongly
against secession, but did not commit himself on
any of the compromise propositions and dscaimed
to speak for Mr.. Lincoln.
Governor Yates is not absolutely opposed to the
appointment of commissioners in response to the
Virginia invitation, but objects to their meeting
before Mr.. LincOln's Inauguration. This is known
to be the view Of the President elect. There is
good deal of agitation the subject in the Legis-
lature, and commissioners may yet be appoint
ed.
Joseph A. Nunes of San Francisco was here to-
day to see the President.
