see my brother-in-law, Jefferson Davis

wish, but l do not want men like you to
leave the country" The President said he
would consider the request for an interview
with Mr.. Davis. He at once granted q
pardon to Gen. Taylor, and nextday brought
up before the Cabinet the proposition to see
Mr.. Davis.

Stanton getting into violent passion and
denouncing it. He went back to his Office
and instructed Gen. Hancock to issue an
order to prevent paroled Confederate officers
coming to Washington without his sanction.

Taylor away, but the President wrote to
him that he was at liberty to go where he
| pleased.
