But he was not merely indifferent to
slavery, and so ready to put it out ol
the way in peremptory manner, il
necessity arose; he abhorred it, and
gloried in the thought that its days
were numbered.
Mr.. Felix r. Brunot, q very estima-
BILE citizen of Pittsburgh, and one Of
the special commissioners to whom the
President has intrusted the oversight
of the Indians, furnishes this additional
testimony to his anti-slayery attitude
at that early time:
"a few days after his appointment

ulated him upon his appointment, and
told him that prominent gentleman

Gen. Moorhead, an intimate personal
friend of his, and for ten years very
influential member of the House, has
narrated this singular bit of expert
ence, which concerns both himself and
Mr.. Stanton. The occurrence and the
coincidence of the dream are alike mys-
terious:
''In the year 1850, when be was the
partner of Judge Shaler, late of this
city, and spent most of. my time in
his Office, had occasion to be absent
few days on the Allegheny noun
tains. One night l dreamed terrible
and frightful dream about my friend
Stanton, and awakened in alarm. 1

thing returned to annoy me, and. /
awakened in 3 fright. was at once

rible calamity had happened TO him

Here is a statement made the other
day by Mr.. S. Schoyer, Esq At the
time to which he refers he was engag-
ed in the double duty of studying law
and reporting legal items for the press.
He had no acquaintance with Mr..
Stanten, and did not suppose that Mr..
Stanton even knew his name:
Il was, therefore," he adds; much
surprised, one morning, TO receive a
note from him making an appointment
for me at his Office that evening. i
was received in the kindest manner.
He said that in his youth word of en-
couragement had been given him by an
! older man, and that he felt it his duty
to do the same TO one whom he saw
to be in similar circumstances. His
kind inquiries drew from me state
ment of my affairs-then dark enough.
Whereupon he proceeded to recount the
history Of his own life; how in early
youth he had been obliged TO assume
responsibilities which seemed to pre-
clude all hope of acquiring his profess
sion; how he had struggled through
all difficulties, never once yielding, en-
couraging me TO fix for myself then an
object in life, and never to give up, be
circumstances what they might, until it
was attained. He passed the entire
evening in similar discourse, which
came To me at the most desponding mo-
ment of my life. While l had and
have occasion to remember Mr.. STAN
ton with feelings of the warmest graft
tude. 1t is not my intention 10 refer to
this incident with reference to its ef-
feet upon my life; but to present it 10
you as proof of his great kindness of
heart" "
And this tribute is but one of the
many to that large generosity which
was characteristic of the man. Be-
hind all his abruptness, and under all
his asperities of manner, there pulsed a

renee. The next day l returned, went
to his Office. lie met me with ex-
tended arms, clasping me to his bosom;
and, with his head sobbing on my
shoulder, he said: This is a very
mysterious thing. The time mention
ed in your letter was the most perilous
moment of my life.' This was never
after explained to me.
Of course, no explanation is pessi-
bic now. Bat how strange!
Mr. Stanton was thought, by the
people at large, to be a cold, severe,
hard hearted man. His resolute, down
right intentness; his undisguised hatred
of all shams and pretenses; and the
sharp, brusque way in which he dis
missed applicants who came to ask ia
vors which it was not right to grant,
were taken as evidence that he was de-
void of warm feeling. But l am per-
suaded there have been few men in
public life of quicker, truer, tenderer
sympathy. He knew often what it
was 10 weep, and when deep emotions
stirred his soul tears fell like rain.
The nation knew how he sorrowed
when his great chief had been stricken
down; and through what binding grief,
and in spite of that binding grief, he
wrote orders and guided affairs onthat
night of lamentation and chaos when
the illustrious and beloved Lincoln
was dying. His own departure has
unsealed many lips, and set story upon
story ahoat illustrative of the benef-
cence and thoughtful kindness which
were part of his nature.
One who had the facts direct related
to me the following incident:
A young New England girl had a
lover in the army, who had been Sc
verely wounded. On receiving the
tidings, she set out at once for the
front where he lay. But she could
not reach him without permit from
the Secretary of War. Accordingly,
she presented herself at the Office, was
admitted, modestly but frankly told
her story and expressed her wishes.
Assuring her that the request should
be granted, Mr.. Stanton Immediately
had her placed in his own carriage,
conveyed to his own home, and then
with his own family he kept her until,
in suitable circumstances and under
safe conduct, Ire could send her through
the lines to minister 10 him whose life
was SO dear to her Now, the man
who could do that, no matter what his
bearing in the presence of corrupt con-
tractors and worthless, impertiuent
shoulder straps, was@uot without a
warm heart il him. 5
