Hon l. n Morris
Dear Sir:-In reply to yours of the 18th
inst, | reply that it was. / believe, some time
in March, 1868, at the White House. in W ash
ington, THAI l urged upon President Lincoln
a request that he should read your argument
in favor OF the claim of Illinois, TO the two
per cent. fund, and | understood him to reply
that it was of no use to read it, that he had
made up his mind to the rightlul claim of
the state of Illinois to the two per cent. fund
but that it was now no time to be pressing
such a claim while the government was hard
pressed to raise the means necessary to
prosecute the war. thought the president
seemed clear that at another time the state
might justly prosecute and recover the claim.
Very Respectfully,
RICHARD YATES.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 26. 1865.
Hon. l. N Morris:
Dear Sir"-ln response to your inquiries of
yesterday, / have to say that | was present 1T
one or two interviews between yourself and
Mr.. Lincoln, some two years ago in relation
to the two per cent. fund. On one of these
occasions, the different acts of congress relat-
ing to the subject were read and freely dis
cussed by all three OF Us. | understood Mr..
Lincoln TO hold distinctly that the law was
with the state OF Illinois, on the question, but
that he thought 1t ungenerOus to press the
claim at the time, while we were lab1ring
under such pressing financial difficulties.
l am, very respectfully,
JESSE O. NORTON.

my original report, which is so emphatically en-
dorsed by Col. Fouke in the preceding letter, is
as follows
sHe (meaning the president) also said to Col.
Fouke that he had talked with Mr.. Usher, his
secretary of the interior, on the subject, and that
his secretary entertained precisely the same riecs
of tie la,cs, upon which the claim of the state is
based, as he himself did; that he, the secretary,
had so said to him.

civilization, is al event contrary to
the common Judgment Of mankind,
aud wholly improbable in itself. Nor
If the relative position Of the parties
was exactly reversed, would the result
be different. Because the instincts of
mankind are more permanent by far,
than the caprices of enthusiasm, and
