HOW GREELEY OBTAIsED AUTHORITY 20
NEGOTIATE FOR PEACE.

The Niagara correspondent of the Herald, writing
ment, states the following with regerd to Greeley
munication With Lincoln on the subj ct
Several messages and communications passed between
the President AID Greeley, all of which kept per-
fectly secret and trusted to the nails
The result was that Gree! left for Niagara Falls
thozd to the fullest extent necessary to bring about
interview between them and the President, without:
any conditions whatever being agreed upon between
them to terms of settlement Their visit to be
Conditional in regard to the terms details of their
proposition for peace, the only condition being that
they willing to present terms of settlement on
their arrival all else to rest with the events of the
gotiations. On this Greely authorized to give
them safe escort to Washington and back through
our lines to Richmond, they preferred. None of
these communications messages varbal or other
wise, into the hands of the rebel commissioners and
therefore have not been made public with the other
respondencp. Thus the most important link-namely,
the authority and original conditions asked os by
the President-yet remains a secret. No person or
persons has these documents but the President and
Greeley. The latter has the power to clear the whole
thing up in this respect and events may possibly force
him to do so for Standardization. He may, PERHAPS
think best to keep them back, in order to make an
original chapter 10 his history OF the wonderful peace
movement. That Mr. Greeley had deagated to him all
the powers stated above appears to me certain from
the best information that gather here. A. least
he gave all with whom be had anything to do in the
matter here to understand and the public will
believe unless it is contradcted by the official
popdepce.
