LINCOLN AND THE SLAVES.
John 6oode Contradicts Story That President Offered to Pay for Them.

Washington Post.
 The Hon. John Goode, President of the Virginia Constitutional Convention, was the principal speaker at the annual meet ing of the Lee Camp of Confederate Vet erans in Richmond. Va, on Friday even ing, January 10 He Is one Of the Tour survivors of the convention that met m February 1861. and the only Virgiman living who was a member of the Confed- crate Congress.
 Mfr. Goode took occasion to correct what he conceives to be two errors in recent contributions to the history of the civil with. He stated that he had it from the lips of the Confederate Commissioners who went to Hampton Roads to confer with President Lincoln that the only thing Lincoln would agree to was that the Confederates should go home and take off their uniforms"
 He denied in emphatic terms that Lan- coin had offered to pay for the liberation of the slaves. Only a very short time ago the Rev. pr. Green, a celebrated Presbyterian minister of Danville. Ky., and Confederate veteran, delivered lecture, in which he said Lincoln had offered to pay for the slaves. Dr. Green said he learned this from Judge Camp bell, one of the Confederate Commission CTS Mir Goode said Alexander H. Steph- ems, Judge Campbell and R. M. T. Hun ter all told him that Lincoln offered no terms.
 Mir. Goode said he wanted also to cor rect an error in a recent contribution to war history by Charles Francis Adams. in which he makes it appear that General Lee favored surrendering his army be- fore it reached Appamattox. and that President Davis was responsible for Lees plans not being carried out. Mir. Goode said he was sent for on March IS. 1861, by President Davis and General Lee for conference.
 General Lee told of the condition of his army and asked If the Virginia people would stand another draft upon them for forage and provisions. Mir Goode con ferred with his associates and the result was he informed General Lee that the last crust of bread would be divided with the army General Lee said not a word about surrendering.
 The information given by MT. Goode was regarded as so important that the camp invited him to write 1t out over his signature for publication.
