WAR STORIES.
LINCOLN'S TERMS OF PEACE.
Johnson' JOcterminatlon to Ar
rest General Iiee for Com
plicity la tlis Assassination.
When the late Mr. Garrett, Presi
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
load Company, wished for a little
rest or recreation, he was in the habit
of causing his private car to be at
tached to one of the trains running
west or south, and with his wife and
perhaps another friend or two he
made an excursion. At such times
Mr. Garrett left his business behind
him, and though deemed a man not
given to much conversation, yet he
then often narrated some of his ex
periences, especially of the time of
the war and immediately subsequent
thereto, in a manner that was ab
sorbingly interesting.
Two years ago the writer met Mr.
Garrett upon one of these occasions.
The conversation turned upon the
South, its risks and its losses entailed
by inaugurating a civil war, and as
some of Mr. Garrett's reminiscences
have a special interest just at this
time, I have written out from notes
made soon after the conversation
what he said. In speaking of Mr.
Lincoln, President Garrett said:
" I never travel through the South
without thinking what a dreadful
climax for the South President
Lincoln's assassination was. During
the war 1 often met Mr. Lincoln on
business pertaining to our railroad,
and in the latter part of his Admin
istration he used sometVues to speak
to me of what oujdit to follow the
return of peace, which he saw could
not long be delayed. Had Mr.
Lincoln been able to carry out his
policy, and I think that the man
who proved equal to that would have
been equal to all that followed, there
would have been real peace, and an
early revival of prosperitv in the
Southern States. It was a" frightful
retribution that followed the murder
of Lincoln; but, after all, I think, as
I look it all over, that it was in one
sense the result of the short-sightedness
of some of the leaders of the
Confederacy. I mean that all that
happened after Lee surrendered, in
cluding the assassination of Lincoln,
could have been avoided had the
Confederacy not failed to make
terms at the peace conference at
Fortress Monroe. Every man of
capacity in the South knew at the
time of that conference what the in
evitable was to be, excepting Mr.
Davis. Now, 1 know it to be a fact,
that when Mr. Lincoln was asked
respecting the terms of peace that
would be demanded by the Federal
Government, he just tore a sheet of
paper in two, and wrote across tho
top of it just these werds:
" On the part ot the United Statw:
The Union preserved.
Slaiery abolished.'
"Then pointing to the blank space
beneath, he said : ' There, let them
write their own terras underneath
that.' "
Mr. Garrett said that many of the
Southern leaders felt that the Federal
Government could properly ask no
less than that, and that the Confed
eracy could ask no more lor itself.
Peace ought, they felt, to have been
established then." General Lee, with
whom Mr. Garrett was on terms of
special intimacy after the war,
grieved greatly because the peace
conference was" a failure, for he could
only look forward to useless shed
ding of blood after that. " In fact,"
said Mr. Garrett, "General Lee,
like Gen. Joe Johnston, realized, as
a military man, that after the fall of
Atlanta the end of the Confederacy
was near at hand. Like Johnston
and ever' other great General in the
South, Lee understood that with the
defeat at Gettysburg and the sur
render of Vickstiurg, the only militarv
policy left for the South was that of
defense long enough to obtain terms
of peace that would not be humiliat
ing. "With the fall or Atlanta, it was
plain to Lee that the terms of peace
would be just what the Federal
Government choose to make them,
and, as a military man, General Lee
told me that ho often, though un
officially, protested to the civil au
thorities that further prolonging of
the war meant only unnecessary loss
of life and destruction of nronertv.
His pleas, however, were wholly
without avail, Mr. Davis seemed to
be convinced that the Confederacy
would succeed in establishing itself.
There was much of the highest im
portance of tho inner history of the
last year of the rebellion that has
been lost by reason of General Lee's
failure to write a history. In the
very last interview I had with Lee
he was a guest at my house in Balti
more. He had been telling me some
of that inner history, showing, in his
view, that the war had been unnec
essarily prolonged. I told him that
he ought not to allow those facts to
be lost to history, and that he ought
at once to begin the preparation of
an account of the war from hiB un
derstanding of it that should
be complete, and should, without
hesitation, tell the whole truth.
He told me that he fully intended
to write such a book, but he
thought that it was too soon then to
do so. He had, he said, much valu
able matter, many documents that
would throw light, taken in connec
tion with other facts that he person
ally knew, but which did not appear
of record, on the last year of the war.
I urged him not to lose a moment,
but to begin the work at once, and
before he left me he promised to set
about it as soon as possible. It was
not long after that he was stricken
with his last illness.
"I don't thiak," continued Mr.
Garrett, "that it was ever known
how near Lee came to being arrested
as one of the conspirators in the plot
to assassinate President Lincoln and
his Cabinet. I know that Andy
Johnson in some unaccountable way
got the idea in his head that Lee was
in that conspiracy. Somebody had
told Johnson something, I have
some reasons for believing, that led
him to think so. Johnson wanted
Lee arrested at once, and T know
that he proposed, if Lee was found
guilty, to have him beheaded.
Johnson told me that Lee couldn't
be hanged, shouldn't be shot, and
he would order 'him beheaded. A
warm friend of mine and of Mr.
Johnson, who knew what was going
on, came to me in great haste,
knowing that I had long been a per
sonal friend of General Lee, and
was also a warm friend of General
Grant. This gentleman said that
Lee was in great danger of arrest,
and that in the ,then excited state of
the country it was hard to say what
might happen. I at once telegraphed
to General Grant to meet me and
started for Washington. I met Gen
eral Grant a few moments after my
arrival there. I told him what was
in Johnson's mind. I have seen
men black with anger, but I never
saw such anger as Grant then showed.
He was not passionate ; but he was
terribly angry. Said he: 'This is
infamous infamous! I will throw
up my commission if there is the
slightest attempt to do it, and if
there be the shadow of a circum
stance to justify even the faintest
suspicion against Lee, I will throw up
my commission, too. It's as impos
sible for Lee as for me.'
" I said, ' Can't you see President
Johnson and his "Cabinet and tell
them what you have told me.' He
said he would, and ho lost no time
in doing so. He was very stern with
Johnson. He said that if Lee was
insulted by threat of arrest he would
throw up "his commission at a mo
ment notice. Lee has given rae
his parole, sir,' said he to Johnson.
'You can trust every West Point
officer who gives his parole.' Grant
was so earnest and angry that John
son was impressed, and he was a
little frightened, too, by Grant's
threat to throw up his commission.
The matter was dropped, but there
i3 no doubt but for Grant's action
Lee mighthavo been at serious peril.
I mj'self told Lee about it afterward.
He was deeply touched by Grant's
conduct. Afterward, when Grant
was President, Lee called on him at
the White House, and was received
with great consideration and courtesy
by Grant.
" General Lee had many flattering
and highly remunerative offers after
the war, that I personally know
about; but he told me that he be
lieved that he still owed a duly to
the South. He believed that educa
tion was the great need there an
education, too, which should teach
the young the duty of loyalty and
love "for the Federal "Union, and he
determined to devote the rest of his
days to the simple work of a teacher.
We had very great difficult in induc
ing him to take the Presidency of the
branch road of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad built down into
Virginia, for he feared that its duties
might impair his usefulness at the
college." N. Y. Sun.

How many women there are of
whom these words are true: 'They
feel languid nnd tired, hardly nblo to

ratable and cross without meaning- to
be, nerves all upset, worried with the
children, fretted over little things, a
burden to themselves, and yet with

Primary Education.
The cmphasi3 laid upon -primary
education, and the preparation of
teachers for primary schools, is begin
ning to have a noteworthy effect in
the school systems of our large cities.
Primary work is discoveredto have
manv attractions. For in a school of
small children, government is easy
anu accomplished mainly by gentle
means. There is, moreover, some
thing verv nttrfle.tivn in n Tiricht and
intelligent young woman in the
modern methods of teaching young
children. She is to be entertaining,
lively, fertile in new devices, to win
the love and admiration of a company
of docile little children. Her uork
is almost cntirelv ponfinpfl to Mia
school-room. There are no tiresome
exercises to be looked over out of
school hours, no piles of dry exami
nation nauers to bo rend on Sntnrilnvs
and in tho evenings. In the inter
mediate and grammar grades, on the
other hand, there are intractable
nunils to manage : the fowos of nvil in
the child are gathering strength and
must be met with firmness, patient,
and wisdom. It will be essential,
before long, to give more attention to
tho methods of teaching and man
agement in intermediate and gram
mar grades. Wisconsin Journal of
