RECOLLECTIONS OF LINCOLN
Characteristic Eesorve nnd Caution of the
War President Regarding Emancipation.
HIS RELATIONS WITH JOSLPH MEDILL
General Mcndo Urged to I'limna the He-
trvntlng ICnomy After the Triumph of
OeUjHlmrg Mr. Mcillll's Last Inter
view with 1'rcslduiit Lincoln.
, ( Copyright , 1S03. )
After Mr. Lincoln became president his
relations with Mr. Medlll continued to beef
of the most friendly character. The two men
met occasionally In the whlto house , and
they maintained a steady correspondence.
Yet very seldom did either write to the
other a letter. The manner ot this scorn
ing paradox Is Interesting. In the midst ol
the titanic turmoils of the war Lincoln had
little ttmo and less Inclination to write rfor-
sonal letters. Yet no public man , not oven
the first Napoleon himself , had a stronger
appctlto for Intelligence or more various
methods of acquiring it. In last October's
number of McCluro's Magazine Mr. MItchcl
described how admirably Mr. Dana sorvei
the president as his "eyes at Iho front , '
and with what keenness of relish the humor
ist of the whlto bouse absorbed the pungent
dispatches ot the humorist ot the War do
partment. Mr. Lincoln had other means
of gaining and Imparting- military and po
lltlcal news , of which , perhaps , not oven
his assistant secretary of vrar was cognizant
Communication was kept up between the
president and Mr. Medlll through the medlary
offices of Schuyler Colfax and E. B. Wash-
burne. Mr. Medlll's acquaintance with Mr
Colfax was ot very long standing. It dated
from the year 1846 , In which Medlll , then a
youngster of 23 , was exploring northern In
diana , In search ot a place In which to
"locate. " Arriving at South Bend , he made
his way to the newspaper olllco , where he
ffr found the editor , a very blonde and tow-
Iieadcd young man , at work at the "case *
setting up the matter for next week's Issue
The tow-headed ycung man was Schuyler
Colfax , and the acquaintance thus formct
lasted , with Increasing Intimacy , until his
untimely death. And Mr. Medlll's acquaint
&nco with E. B , Washburno was almost as
close and Intimate.
COLFAX'S INFLUENCE WITH LINCOLN
Mr. Medlll describes Colfax as "a man
with a woman's temperament , refined , nice
and Insinuating. " He would sit down by a
man and smile and purr until within an
liour ho would know all that man know 01
the point he was seeking. Ho would not be
tray a confidence , but he dearly loved wlm
the Scotch call a "two-honded _ crack. " Wash
burno was more hearty and outspoken , bu
tie could not get at the bottom of his Inter
locator's mind as Colfax could.
Even the secretive Lincoln waa not proo
against so Insinuating a character as this
"When Mr. Colfax was speaker of the house I
vas pretty well understood that he was very
close In the president's confidence and couh
approach him at times and upon groun
Tvhero other men feared to tread.
Thus Mr. Medlll turneM these old friend
chlpt ) , and especially that with Colfax , to gooi
account. When he wanted to reach the prw
ident , to Impart or receive Important Informs
tlon. he would write a long letter to Colfa
criticising. questioning. doubting. An
straightway Colfax would repair to the whit
house In the evenlpg and read the Utter t
Lincoln , noting as he went along the pres
( dent's defenses , replies and counter asser
tlons , which Indeed the letter had bee
framed to elicit. Am ) these In turn woul
form the body of Colfax's reply to Modll
( These Interesting lettera of Colfax's \Voul
bo admlrablo reading at this time- , but un
fortunately they were lost In the great fir
ot 1871. )
In one ot his letters to Colfax Mr. Medl
deliberately wrote that "the union was los
unless the president should straightway boUl
emancipate tha slaves and thus carry ou
thp 'mulled ' promises contained la bis re
tarkable speech of May. 1SSS , " already re-
erred to. To this Mr. Colfax replied at once
lat here was a subject upon which the pres-
jeut flatly declined to talk , as the time had
ot come.
V TALK WITH LINCOLN IN 1SC2 ABOUT
EMANCIPATION.
This was In the early autumn of 1802 ,
vheu the fortunes and spirits of McClellan's
army were at the lowest ebb. Mr. M&dlll went
o Washington with Intent to have a private
and solemn talk with the president. But
Irst ho visited some members of the cabinet.
With Salmon P. Chase , then secretary of the
reasury , ho spent a most dismal evening.
The disgruntled Ohloan declared that he
could get no more money with which to
carry on the war , and what ho had on
land was not worth 40 cents on the dollar.
The secretary of war was no less dole
ful. "This thing Is pretty nearly petered
out. " said Mr. Stanton. "Your man Lin
coln Is not displaying- the ability that Is
needed to save the union. The bottom Is
falling out. "
"Lincoln heard me out. " says Mr. Medlll ,
"In a long talk at night In favor of eman
cipation , and then answered , with great
solemnity : 'I dare not Issue this thunder
bolt until the union armies shall have woi
some decisive victory. The effect of a proc
Initiation now would bo to alienate the union
democrats In the north and In the army
without whoso aid wo must fall , for the
zeal ot the abolitionists has been well ntgl
exhausted by the sacrifice of Its eldest born
these two. years past. '
'I confess that Lincoln nearly won me over
to his way ot thinking , though what he said
& * - \
, J4f'i" tnlT * ) l
fflil \ \ 3
JOSEPH MEDILL.
to me was a terrible shock to a man who
had Just come out of the northwest , where
nil was confident ot eventual success , and
where everybody was talking for liberating
the slave--1. When I returned to Chicago I
found a number of preachers of several sects ,
under the leadership of Dr. Patton , since
dead , organizing to go on to Washington upon
the tame errand as my own. I toM Rev.
Dr. Patton In confidence what the preslde-nt
had said to me : 'No union victory , no pro
clamation. ' but ho and his friends went to
Washington , whore , as I learned , they had
a pretty warm time. The president flatly de
clined to Issue the proclamation for about the
EUUIO reason he gave me. Shortly after this
the union army won the hard fought battle
of Antletam , And In a few days thereafter
the thunderbolt of emancipation was hurled.
A VISIT TO GENERAL MEADE AT HEAD
QUARTERS.
Mr. Mealll's brother , a major In the Eighth
Illinois cavalry , serving on the Potomac , was
shot near Gettysburg and carried oft the field
to the hospital. Mr. Medlll hurried to his
bedside and met Vlca President Hannibal
Hamlln , who was there on a similar errand ,
one of his sons having bc-en shot In the leg.
Through the vice president's Influence Mr.
Medlll procured a letter admitting him to see
General Meade , and that officer he visited
upon an t-rranl which , at this day , appears
extraordinary.
"I wanted. " Mr. Medlll says , "to urge Gen
eral Meade to press upon th rebels while the
Potomao was still high , before their pontoons
were constructed , and finish them before the
river receded to Its banks and permitted them
to retreat In Virginia. I thought , and still
1 think , be could Uius have annihilated or cap-

ured the whole rebel army , had ho taken ad-

Of course the civilian editor was snubbed
tor his pains. It was only In the high ner
vous tension Induced by the pictureof his
brother's Impending death and the bright
chance of a crushing victory that he ven
tured on his bootless errand. Moreover , Mr.
Medlll had not , nor has to this day , that
reverence for the forms of authority which
rules the conduct ot some men.
AN EFFORT TO HAVE GENERAL MEADE
FOLLOW UP THE GETTYSBURG
VICTORY.
Dut that which followed was even more
characteristic. Returning from Meade's
headquarters , snubbed and rejected. Mr. Me
dlll sought out Vice President Hamlin. "Mr.
Hamlln , " he said , "you occupy a moat for
tunate position In this crisis. You are the
second officer In the United States ; you rank
next to Lincoln , and you want this war
brought to a close at the earliest possible
day as much as I or any other. Why not
sit right down here and write a dispatch to
Lincoln to the effect that unless Meade fights
to a finish , here and now , while the
Potomac Is high , the war will be
prolonged for years ? There are not above
50,000 men on the rebel elde , and they are
short of ammunition. We have 75,000. . The
rebels are discouraged ; our men feel the
Inspiration ot certain victory. Now tell the
president this and urge him , beg him to
order Meade peremptorily to pitch right In
and fight It out. "
Mr. Medlll says that Vice President Hamlln
at once replied : "I agree with you and I'll do
It right off , but I don't know whether Lincoln
will pay any attention to me. " And the vice
president sent the dispatch that evening
from the Fredericks hospital. That very nlghl
he received this reply from the president :
"I have received your Interesting dispatch
and am considering It. "
Mr. Medlll'3 account ot what followed can
not fall to be Interesting , in view of the
perennial debate over the battle ot Gettys
burg , its leaders and their tactics.
"I heard no more of It at the time , " Mr.
Medlll says , "and knew nothing of Lincoln's
decision except what all the world knows ,
until a tew years ago. when I met Hon.
Robert Lincoln In London , white he was
minister to the court ot St. James. In the
course ot a Gettysburg conversation I toll !
him the story Just as I have told It to you
and was very much Interested to hear his
reply : 'Why , ' said Mr. Lincoln , 'I remember
the circumstance very well. I recall tbat a
few days after Gettysburg father got a let
ter from Hamlin , urging htm to order Meade
to renew the fight and push ' .lie bat'.lo to a
final finish. Father sent just such an order
to Meade by the government wire and the
receipt of It was acknowledged. When we
left tha white house I made diligent Rrarch
for that message , but failed to find It. Hut ]
remember the contents , because father read 1
to mo before he sent It. It was Just 'vhai
Hamlln had urged him to write , and I1
wound up something like this : "If you
make the attack vigorously and fall I wll
assume all the responsibility if the delcat
If you win you shall have nil the glory o
having Initiated the attack and I will never
claim It. "
LAST INTERVIEW WITH LINCOLN.
Mr. Medlll's last Interview with Llncolt
took place In the midst of Grant's fina
campaign against Lee. The editor had beei
for a fortnight down at Grant's headquarters
( on a pass from the president ) and on re
turning to Wcihlngton was summoned from
his hotel by one of Lincoln's secretaries to
the whlto house. The president wanted a
circumstantial account of Medlll'a observa
tlons at the front. The latter told him wlm
he saw and concluded , and In turn presse (
the president for news ot General Sherman
down In North Carolina. Mr. Lincoln re
piled : "I can't toll you exactly where Sher
man Is , but 1 know where ho ought to b
and what ho ought to bo doing. When h
gets to "
Hut Just then E. D. Washburno came Int
the room , and Mr. Medlll started to leave
The president stopped him. "Walt a mln
ute , Medlll , " said he , and the two visitor
remained standing while the story was re
sumed as to the chance cf Leo falling bac
on Johnston and catching Sherman am
crushing him between them.
"The last tlmo I heard from Sherman , '
said Mr. Lincoln , holding up ono of his hug
hands to a wall map , and pointing to t
with the forefinger of the other , "tho las
line I heard from Sherman ho had ono
army corps hero and another one here , and
vas expecting to bring them all together
lere , and then march to Join Grant here.
Now when ho does that he'll but that re
minds me of the horse Jockey In Kentucky
vho got baptized In the river. Ho asked to
bo Immersed the second time. The preacher
lemurred , but the horse Jockey , Insisting ,
prevailed. When he came up from the
second ducking ho gasped : 'There ! Now the
devil may go to hell ! ' "
"As I went out of the room , " says Mr.
Medlll , "Washburuo wa hanging over a
chair , red with laughter. I never saw the
president again. "

In 1S7G. to the 1st of April. 1895 , there has
hflfn pild $0.017,813.33 In death benefit * . The
sinking fund now amounts to JP.OQ.OOO , and
the outstanding risks aggregate $12,321,500.
ItUSINISSS TO BB CONSIDERED.
A large number ot amendments to the
constitution and by-laws , proposed by various
> ranches , will come up for action. It Is pro
posed to limit the- number of assessments
> er annum , and to pay out of the sinking
'uml all assessments in excess ot the fixed
number. Limiting the age of admission to
10 years , Instead of 50 is also proposed , and
ncreaslng to $3,000 the maximum Insurance.
The question of changing the constitution Eu
as to admit women will be considered , as
well as a score or more amendments of minor
mportance.
It seeiiia probable the national council will
take- the Initiative in a movement , the ulti
mate object ot which Is the consolidation of
the various Catholic organizations that are
general In character and benevolent in pur
pose. There are a dozen such general or
ganizations , with an aggregate membership
exceeding 200,000. It Is believed If these
were united a vast saving in expense ot
operation would be effected , and thus a
sreat Incentive to increased membership es
tablished , besides greater Influence would bJ
exerted than is now possible ,
The matter of consolidation was suggested
last January by Judge II. W. Hives of
Lebanon , Ky. , grand president ot the Young
Men's Institute , and has been discussed pro
and con In various fraternal publications.
Judge Rives' experience In the Young Men's
Institute and In the Catholic Knights con
vinced him that the union of these organiza
tions would be beneficial to both. The former
has an Insurance feature , but it does not
prosper , because the bulk of the members ,
being young men , give little thought to life
insurance. The attractions for them are
mainly social. Insurance Is the chief at
traction of the Knights. Thus , what Is lackIng -
Ing In the one would b2 supplied by the other
and a formidable organization might be built
up without materially changing the plans
upon which they were founded.
While considerable opposition has been de
veloped and various objections raised , It Is
evident that the movement Is receiving tlio
thoughtful consideration of matured minds , In
the two organizations Immediately concerned ,
as well as among the members of other
societies. Several branches of the Catholic
Knights have endorsed the suggestion and
rectmmended It to the consideration of the
national council. Branch GO of Clnclnnttl
warmly endorsed the proposition some time
agot urging the appointment of a commis
sion to meet with commissions from other
organizations favorable to consolt'lallon. As
the plan proposed by this branch compre
hends the general Idea and the mode of pro
cedure , it la here reproduced :
NEW CORPORATION IN SIGHT.
"In the event of the commission so ap
pointed agreeing with the other commissions
having like power , finding It beneficial to the
Catholic Knights ot America and one or more
organizations that a consolidation , amalgama
tion or absorption will prove beneficial to the
organizations effecting the agreement , then ,
upon such commission making such report to
the supreme president , the supreme president
shall Immediately cause to b : printed the
terms nnd conditions upon which such con
solidation , amalgamation or absorption shall
bo elfected , and shall send ten copies thcreol
to each of the branches of the Catholic
Knights of America , and request that each
branch vote whether the consolidation ,
amalgamation or ohsorptlcn shall go into
effect as recommended by the joint commis
sion ; and the branch , within forty-five days
from the date of the mailing of the notice by
the supreme president , shall send to the
supreme secretary Its expression or vote 01
the subject , under signature of the president
and decretory of the branch , properly au
thenticated by the teal of the branch.
It the majority of the branches votltm
favor the recommendation of such commis
sion and vote' for such consolidation , amalga
mation or absorption the commission Bhal
Immediately proceed for the dissolution o
the Catholic Knights ot America and take
all necessary anl needful steps for the es
tabllshmcnt of the new corporation. "
The action of the council on thU aubjec
will Ixj watched with considerable Interes
and should It bo favorable it In believer
other Catholic organization * will follow ,

SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , April 27.-SpccIat. ( )
It a certain member of company F , South
Dakota National Guards , located at Aber
deen Is not punlKhcd severely It will moat
likely be because the state has not enough
money on hand to call a court martial anil
there Is no appropriation available. A ser
geant and a squad were Bent out to bring
an absentee to the armory , und they did It.
Not , however , without considerable trouble ,
for the angry member not only refused to
go , but abused his sergeant und assaulted
him. At the armory the captive continued
his wordy ubuso of his superior olllcers , un
offense which Is punishable by a fine anil
Imprisonment In the county Jail or even In
the penitentiary. Hut , us was mentioned ,
the offender will likely get off with a dis
honorable discharge , ax no regular court
martial can be convened.
