Mr.. BAYARD AND Hrs FIANCE.-A
Washington dispatch says the matrimonial
engagement of ex-Secretary of State Bay
ard and Miss Clymer, of that city, is the
gossip of society and of the clubs. The
lady is the only daughter of the late DR..
George Clymer, for many years surgeon
in the navy, the granddaughter of Admiral
Shubrick and the great granddaughter of
George Clymer, who was one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence, as we'll
as one of the trainers of the federal constitu-
ton. Miss Clymer lives with her mother
in the fine mansion at the corner of Il.
street and Connecticut avenue, inst opposite
the residence of the late millionaire philan-
thropist, w. w. Corcoran. Her mother is
the daughter of Admiral Shubrick, SO that
on both sides of the house Miss Clymer is
connected with people who played impor-
tant parts in the history of this country.
She is also distant cousin of Mr.. Bayard,
who is soon to be her husband. She has
no sisters and only one brother, Shuhrick
Clymer, who is professor of English litera-
ture at Harvard College. Miss Clymer is
an accomplished lady, of literary tastes, and
has travelled considerably. She is decided
blonde, and acknowledged by all to be
beautiful, but not more distinguished by
personal beauty than by queenly dignity
and generous heart. She has graceful,
slender figure and dresses in exquisite
taste. Miss Clymer has been Intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Bayard and the Bay
ard family all her life. She is an accom-
plished horseback ride, and in that respect
will be fit companion for the ex-Secretary
in his favorite exercise and amusement.
MIR. Bayard was born October 30, 1928,
which makes him over sixty, whilst the
prospective bride is thirty nine years of age.
During the early party of the Cleveland ad-
ministratlon, when Mr. Bayard was Secre-
tary Of State, his wife and his eldest
daughter both died within a few weeks.
Since then his hospitable house has felt the
want of such mistress as Miss Clymer is
well qualified to be.

Mr.. Lincoln was perfectly willing to keep
the negroes in slavery provided he could do
that and also save the Union. He was
ready to make peace upon those terms. He
said his first object was to save the Union.
He would abolish slavery to save the Union
or he would protect slavery to save the
Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
The prospect for the success of the
Federal army was 80 dark at that time
that Lincoln said it was simple question
whether the slaves should be freed or
whether they-the white people of the
North-should themselves be reduced to
slavery-see Nicholay and Hays history
published in Century Magazine. The war
upon the South was not made to free the
negroes, and no such purpose was enter
tanned by the administration when the war
was inaugurated; but it was for the pur-
pose of enforcing the Federal laws in the
Southern States and the prevention of the
secession of any Of them from the Union
this it was and nothing more till Lincoln
became convinced that it was military
necessity; and if he had not been thus con-
WINGED, he never would have issued his
emancipation proclamation. In that opin-
on of its dire necessity he may have been
mistaken, but that opinion is what in
fuenced his action.
