therefore went on to Washington
to interview with Chase.
The Cheef Justis reserved me cor

Kentucky he remarked that he wuz de-
lifted that came when he wuz OFF the
bench, ez he wood have felt 1t his

declined the short had reporter and
proceeded.
I" Democrisy nv Kentucky hev long
long admired yoor gigantic abilities,
and the sterlin strate-forerd simplicity
NV yoor character. They wood hev bin
glad 10 hev testified at any time their
apprehension nv 700, but there wuZ
between you and them some site dit
ferences of opinion upon matters NV
public policy wich prevented it. But
they alluz loved 700, and they rejoice
that Their is a prospect now that these
differences may be smoothed down, SO
| that VOC may rush into the embrace NV
kentucky. May ask 700 to give me
yoor views upon the question NV Afri-
! kin slavery?
/ "Williniy, willInly, and bear in mind
that shell speek with the utmost frank

sir, consider in the abstract, an evil.

workins, an onmixed good. Their is no
yoos, that 1 kin see, in discussin 1t. Its
cleerly dead ishoo, and my motto hez
alluz bin-let the dead bury the dead.
Pass on to the next query"
swat is yoor opinion NV withdrawn
the troops from the Southern States ?"
1.-THE constitution knows the South
eZ the North. The citizens Nv the
Southern States, now that crooel and
devastatin wars is over, kin find am
pie perteckshen under the constooshen
and by the operashun Nv the laws.
Havn't 700 justices Nv the peece, and
amt they sworn to vindicate the laws 2
To them let the people of the South
confidently appeal. Why keep any
thing there to remind an already trrl-
tated people NV dead ishoo2n
"Wat is yoor opiuion NV nigger suf-
frage ?"
II object mildly but firmly to the
yoose nv the term 'nigger.' Their is no
sich word. Webster puts tho word
niger among thevulgarisms nv wich
this age is unfortunitly prolific. 1t Is
doubtless a corruption NV the word
negro witch word is used TO kiver the
Afrikan race. I wave my objection
to the word, however. Ez regards ex-
teudin the suffrage to our Afrikan citi-
zens nv American descent, wood say
that it's aquestion that requires the
heftiesL craftsmanship to deal with, 1t
mite be denied them altogether on the
score OF onfitnis, or 1t mite be given 10
all on the score nv the ekality onto
wich our government is built, or 1t
mite be given to the States. Ez an
original States rites man, and conse-
kently in perfek harmony with the
DemocrIsy all my life, ceptin in some
trif1lin questions witch are fortinitly
settled, can't say that l hev cleerly
made UP my mind on this question. ]
incline, however, to the belief, that 1t
amt worth while to discuss it. Itseems
to me that this question, tho 1t wu2
wunst vital is now clearly dead
ishoo. q

"Cleerly that the war settled al
questions, this inclooded. Wat wuz the

the war over and done2 1t Is. 1t Good
not hev bin ended until the differences
nv opinyun wuz settled? Certainly
not. Then why conunyoo the acerbity
encendered by difference NV opinyur
when that difference Is reconciled
Let the conkerer and the conkered, Oh
rather the stronger and the weaker
party, meet on common level, and GO
TO church arm in arm, ez did witt
Henry A. Wise nv Virginia, only the
last Sunday but one. The Amnesty

May ask yoor views on the Ito us

"CerGatnlY. regret, however, Lnat
am enable TO give 700 eZ full and ex

others. The fact is, my dear sir, 1 hey
never paid any attenshun watever tt
