President Lincoln and the Rebel Leaders,

New l ork, April q
The New York Iri6unes Washington
special says: "While President Lincoln
was in Richmond, Judge Campbell told
him that in an interview with Davis
Breckenridge and Benjamin, just before
they left, he said to them that as there
was no hope for the Confederacy, and
President Lincoln could not negotiate
with them, he (Lincoln) would negotiate
with the States and recognize the right of
the Virginia Legislature to control the
troops of that State. He then told Mr.
Lincoln that If he would permit that body
to convene, It would doubtless recall the
Virginia troops from the field Mr.. Linz
coin cautioned Judge Campbell against
any misunderstanding, and gave him in
writing his only terms, which were those
rendered in the Hampton Roads interview,
to which he added another, that, in case
the leaders persisted in the war, their
prosperity should be relentlessly confs>
Gated.
''On the way to Washington Mr.. Lin
coin wrote IN order to General Weitzel
to permit the Virginia Legislature to con-
vene in Richmond for the purpose of with
drawing the Virginia troops from the rebel
army, but not to allow the use of any
reasonable language, nor the adoption of
reasonable measures; but on the very
day of his death hs received a letter from
Judge Campbell tinged with the usual
rebel insolence, ignoring altogether the
proposition which the President had made
to him, and urging that though the mil
itary power of the Confederacy was de-
stroyed, the spirit of the Southern people
was still unbroken IF you want to con
ciliate them" he said, ''it viii be wise for
you to grant an amnesty, and necessary
for you to treat leniently their leading
public men, and seek their assistance,
This was too much, even fer Mr. lincoln $
good nature. He characterized Camp
BELLS course as uncratsCul and outrage
GUS Meanwhile the surrender of Lees
army obviatcd the necessity for conven-
ing the Virginia Legislature. He sent an
order counterm antinc the call"

too palpable and egregious. His dispatches

grossest iictions--worthy of John Pope

negro woman, who formerly belonged to

Mrs. Harris was found dead in her yard,
her head having been crushed with n rock

The Republican Senators at Washington
seem to be impressed with the belief that
their first duty is TO provide comfortable
places at the public crib for all of their
relations, oven TO the lifth generation.
Among their other sins they add the sin of
ncpotism. 4 Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times gives these instances of
II. He says:
"Thc Congressional directory records
that son of Senator Clark, of New llamp-
shire is dOor-keepcr of the reporters gal
lcry that son of Senator CowaiI is clerk

senator Doolittle is similarly favored; /;
likewise son Of senator Howard; ditto u
son of senator DiNon: ditto nephew Of
Senator Foot; while a nephew of senator
Wade stands guard nj one OF the entrance
doors to the chamber, for $1,000 u year.
And the pressure is still heavy upon the
appointing power in behalf of the unclcs,
