The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald writes:
The Armistiee question is almost the only topic
in Washington. It. is known positively that
prominent republican party managers regard it as
vitally important that Mr.. Lincoln should imme-
diately Ike steps to open negotiations in this
respect. s.
Z a conference was held few days ago Of New
England leaders, in which it was concluded that
the only safety Of the administration party, un-
der existing circumstances, is in proposing nego-
iiations for termination of the war. These
necessarily involve an arlTistice, winch will ailsw
posiponement of the draft until after the elec
ton, and will also permit soldiers to be sent home
to vote. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has
.,aid visit to Washington, to represent To the.
resident the opinion Of the Republicans Of New
England that this necessity exists. Mr. Fessen-
len. the new Secretary OF the Treasury, who is
cognizant OF the movement. is understood to
nave declared that if something of this kind is
.Iet done promptly. he will be compelled to re-
tire from the Cabinet
The President is warmly in favor of the ex
pertinent. He thinks that .'if it can do no good
it will do no harm to try it on" It Is ths last
card to BE- played to confuse the Chicago Conyen-
zion and take the wind out of the sails of tn
i,eace men. That it will be dome. and speedily
there Is no doubt. The republican leaders here
are not only full Of it. Int they insist that with
out it they will be defeated.
