shows as nothing else can how great
friend was lost to the South when
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
1t is the first publication eyer made OF
the draft of a message and proclama-
ton which the President submitted to
his Cabinet on four hundred millions
as an indemnity to shareholders, COM
plete pardon for political otlenses, and
the release of confiscated property eX-

Such magnaminity was, however, too
much for his councillors, who "unani-
mously disapproved." Along with
the document is given full account of
this best kept of Cabinet secrets.
