and the more famous men hanged. 4
Cabinet meeting was called and il was
resolved to hang at least General Lee
and some one or two others. Grant,
at the head Of the army, was sent for,
and was told that was the action OF
the Cabinet. lie deliberately un.
buckled his sword, and laying il upon
the table, said "My honor ne sol
dier and a man is pledged to General
Lee, and if you take the step proposed,
| at once surrender my sword, resign
my commission, and 90 before the
American people" This frmncss and
promptness brought the extreme men
to their senses, and the matter was
dropped We are assured that the
story is trustworthy, and it comes
through a channel that entities it to
credence. 1t is honorable to Grant,
and shows him in much grander

In n recent address at Bellevue,
Mich, cx-Gov. Austin Blair gave an
account of the convention of COVER
nors of northern states that met at
Altoona, Pa, at the time of the issuing
of the emancipation proclamation by
President Lincoln, in 1862 The con-
vention was called to bring an inhu-
ence to bear upon President Lincoln
to induce him to issue a proclamation
or do some act that would set at
liberty the 100000 slaves but the
president outwitted them by issuing a
proclamation on the same day their
convention met. The governors then
decided to 90 on to Washington and
present to the president, not the urgent
resolutions they bad intended, but an
address complimenting him upon the
step he had taken. This address was
prepared in an able manner by Gov.
ernor Andrew, of Massachusetts,, who
read it to President Lincoln as he sat
at his desk, while the governors weio
seated around the room. After that
an incident happened that Gov. Blair
said he had never before related 70
any one. Gov. Kirkwood, of Iowa
since United States senator and sec.
retary of the interior, rose and said
"Mr. President-I should be de,
