Queer Story that is Doubtless Untrue.
Chicago Times
On the files of the War Department Governor
Curtin says, are two rather spicy dispatches, one
addressed to him by Secretary Stanton, and the
other his reply.
1t was late in the war, probably in the spring
of 1864, that Governor Curtin came here to see
the Secretary of War, and after giving him a
narrowing description of the condition of federal
prisoners in Andersonville, he appealed to him
to save them.
Mr.. Stanton said he did not see how he could
do anything. Why" said the Governor of
Pennsylvania, 1--WE have thousands of Confeder-
ate prisoners; let there be an exchange" With
some heat the Secretary asked if he meant to
propose that we should take back lot of diseased
and enfeebled men, who could NOT return to the
ranks, and give the Confederates an equal
number of healthy and well-fed men, who would
at once recruit their armies.
Governor Curtin said that was exactly what he
was after. ''Well sir" said Stanton, "a man
who processes to be loyal to the government
ought to be ashamed to make such reasonable
suggestion" Curtin is an iraseible gentleman,
and he left in a choleric condition
Immediately after he got home he received
from the Secretary dispatch about follows
"In the interests of loyalty to the government
and the speedy suppression Of the rebellion, you
should resign at once and retire to private life,
which you should never have left" Curtin re-
piled to the Secretary: in the interests Of
humanity you should die and go to hell, where
you ought to have gone long ago."
