held in Senator Lewis room, and was intended
to be wholly Informal and no organization Was
effected Col. Mosby was preseut-he came
to the house on a visit to Senator Lewis with
out the purpose, as | am told, of joining the

introduced him to the gentlemen present, |
am told that he stood with his hat in his hand
for few minutes and then politely bowed
around and left DR.. Smith says that the par
ties composing the conference did not call upon
Grant because Judge Alex Rives, Gen. Wick

to 90 with them to the White House, did not
arrive in time. They left Washington without
accomplishing the object of their visit.

which however failed to come to successful

the thing was for and they are corresponding
ly down on it. The carpet bag wing numbers
