PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND THE SLAVES.
Hon. 3. N. 7. Hunter Quoted.

To TRE FREE LANCE:
The gentlemen who are discussing as
to Llncoln'1 making any proposition at
the so-calied Peace conference ia 1865,
towards paying for the slave property
OF the South, evidently overlook the
statement OF Hon. R NJ. T. Hunter. pub
lished April, 1877, in Vol. III, No. 4,
Southern Historical Society Papers, in
which he says, ''Mr. Lincoln said that he
was not AUTHORIZE to make such a
proposition, nor did he make it,"
This ought to be fairly conclusive con.
ing direct from one OF the commissioner.
