 "Oh. yes" replied the president "l have sent his name to the senate. and he will no doubt be confirmed at an early date"
 One of the young men replied. We have not come to ask for the appoint the nomination.
 "Ah," said Lincoln. that alters the case. But on what grounds do you wish the nomination withdrawn"
 The answer was. "AIr Shrigley is not sound in his theological opinions"
 The president inquired. "On what questions is the gentleman unsound?"

 ''Is that so?" inquired the president
 The members of the committee re- sponded. "Yes. sir"
 "Well. gentlemen. if that is so and there is any way under heaven where by the rebels can be saved. then. for Gods sake and their sakes. let the man be appointed"
