Col. S. N. Newhouse With the New constitu-
tion.

5. NJ. Newhouse. OF Culpeper, in an in
terview in the Richmond Leader in ans
wer to inquiries says, "Well, think all
of we members of the Legislature should
vote for proclamation, ii for no other
reason than to show TO the members of
the Constitutional Convention that we
are not in the least angry because they
have shorn us Of both power and passes.
But, added the Colonel. lit is a little
hard for me to understand how that
honorable body of Virginia gentleman
got together so readily on the under
standing clause of the suffrage provision
and then can't get together on procla-
nation, owing it seems TO a party
pledge-a disability they ask their con-
stituents to relieve them OF.
why, they promised to disfranchise
no white man, and the suffrage plan vio-
lates that, and they also promised at the
Norfolk Convention to stand by the free
silver plank OF the Bryan Democratic
platform and our delegates to the Chicago
Convention went squarely back on that.
Now, am forced to say that all of
this loyalty to the keeping of this parti-
cular promise of submitting the Consti-
tuition reminds me Of the negro who stole
a pig and some chickens, and before re-
firing that night said: 'Oh, Lord,
promised | would never steal a pig, and
hope you will relieve my disabilities on
dat line; but as for de chickens. Lord. it's
no use to mention them, for you know it
is a nigger's nature to take dat privi-
lege.
Il like the Constitution with one single
exception and am heartily in favor Of
it's proclamation"

When winter grippe has implanted

always successfully accomplished by the
use of Paine's Celery Compound.

LINCOLN ASKS THEIR POWERS
What did happen at Hampton Roads
beyond question was this: When the
commissioners, if may so term the Pres
ident and the Secretary OF State of the
United States, met the commissioners of
the cOniederacy, Mr.. Lincoln, addressing
himself to y. NJ. T. Hunter, whom he
knew very well, said; In the first place.
your powers and instructions from the
Richmond Government avoiding, as
Mr.. Hunter told him himself. the word
Confederate States, but terming the Gov
ment. MIR. Hunter, to whom the inquiry
was addressed, said Mr. President. we
are instructed to consider no proposition
that does not involve the independence
Then said Mr. Lincoln. the interview
had as well terminate now, for must
say TO you gentlemen frankly and hon
estly that nothing will be accepted from
the Government at Richmond except all
iolute and unconditional surrender
"'I may add, he said, as the chief En-
ecutive of the United States. in addition
to this, tnat if you lay down your arms
and submit 10 the authority of my Gov
ernment | will exercise the largest execu-
tive clemency to the leaders and generals
of the government at Richmond
FINAL WORDS TO MIR. STEPHENS.
This terminated the interview and as
the commissioners OF the Coniederacy re-
tired from the chamber MIR. Lincoln, ad-
dressing Mr. Stephens, who was the last
to go out of the room, said: Stephens. you
are making a great mistake. Your Gov
ernment is a failure, and when the crash
comes, as il soon must come. there will
be chaos and disasters which we cannot
now foresee.
This account of that interview, sub
stantially and almost word for word as
have given it, came to me from Alexan
dria II. Stephens and r. NJ. r. Hunter,
one Vice-P President of the Confederate
Government and the other President pro
tempore of the Confederate Senate.
"But in addition. to put this matter
beyond all dispute, Judge Campbell, than
whom n more honest and frank and
trustworthy man never lived, took down
in pencil at that interview word for word
what passed between the commissioners.
heard of the existence of that paper
after the return of the commissioners,
but | never had any interview with
Judge Campbell upon the subject How
ever, his account in writing was exhibit
ed to many of his friends in the city of
Richmond and among Others to Hon.
James l.. Pugh, the predecessor of my
friend, the junior Senator from Alabama
/ (Mr Pettus) at this time. who read that
account and who has stated to me often
that it contained almost exactly the
same description of the interview which

TO CORRECT HISTORY.

81 repeat, Mr.. President" continued
Mr. Vest, that have considered it my
duty to make this statement in order
that history may not be falseifed. in or
der that the men who were said to have
refused this offer at the hands OF Mr..
Lincoln should not be made to sin in
their graves. For il they had refused
what was said to have been rendered to
them by the President of the United
States they would have been accessory to
the murder of every man who fell from
that time in defense of the Confederate
cause, and they would have given the
lie to the intentions which they proiessed
when they risked everything-every-
thing that is held dear amongst men in
defense Of the Confederate cause
"It may he but a very short time un-
til shall join the % colleagues had in
the Confederate Senate, and do not
want this statement, which have no
doubt the Senator from South Carolina
believes to be true, to go into the records
Of this country without my statement
of these facts and my solemn denial Of
the shadow OF truth Of this assertion
which has been going the rounds of tn,
newspapers Of the country for the last
few years"
