There has recently been considerable discussion by leading orators and jour- nalists as to the attitude of President Lincoln on the question of compensa- ted emancipation at the Hampton Roads conference where Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward met Mr. Stephens, Mr. Hunter and Mr. Campbell, who had been ap- pointed by President Davis, of the Confederacy, to confer on the subject of peace. This controversy has resulted in clearing the atmosphere of doubt, and it will greatly aid the truth of history, and Col. McClure of the Philadelphia Times, thus acids to this valuable and important contribution:—-—“The contro- versy started by a statement made by Colonel Watterson in recent lectures, that at the conference President Lin- coln presented a blank paper to Mr. . Stephens, saying: “Write Union on one side and what you please on the other,” and adding that Lincoln had in hand the proposition to pay 3400,- 000,000 as compensation for the slaves of the South, if war could thus be end- ed and the Union fully restored. This has been disputed by Mr. Graves, con- nected with the Atlanta Constitution, and has brought out also a letter from Mr. Howell, of the same paper, report- ing an interview with Mr. Stephens some time after the Hampton Roads conference, The two important points of denial developed by this controversy are as fol- lows: First it is denied that Mr. Lincoln made any such proposition in the South- ern commissioners, and second, it is de- nied that Mr. Lincoln favored the pay- ment of $400,000,000 as compensation to the South for the surrender of slaves. To these may be added the emphatic statements of the Chicago Tribune that, even had Mr. Lincoln favored such a settlement of war, it would have been rejected by the government and the people of the North. Tie undisputed records prove that Mr. Lincoln did favor the payment of $400,000,000 as compensation to the South for the surrender of slavery and the restoration of the Union, and it is conclusiuely shown also, from Mr. Lin- coln’s action and from the records, that he did not propose payment for slaves to the Southern commissioners because they were not at liberty to negotiate on any other basis than recognition to the Southern Confederacy. Mr. Lincoln favored compensated emancipation from the beginning of the war down to the 5th of February, 1365, and he believedin it no less there- after until the day he died, but he did not press it upon Congress or upon the country. He exhibited to the writer 11 ireof in August, 1864, a written propo- s tion for the payment of $400,000,000 to the South as compensation for slaves if it would end the war and restore the authority of the Union throughout the entire country, He favored it not only because he believed:that it would save more than $400,000,000 of expenditure, but also because he believed it would bring the South back to the Union in much more friendly relations to the government than they could be re- turned by the sword. He believed also that in no other way could the South— ern armies be returned to peaceful pur- suits and the South saved from anarchy after the military power of the Confed- o racy had been broken. He informed the editor of this journ- al after his return from the Hampton Roads conference that he would have proposed the payment of $400,000,000 for Southern slaves as a basis of peace, had he not been precluded at the out- set by Mr. Stephens frankly stating to him that liewas instructed by Presi- dent Davis to entertain no proposition that did not recognize the perpetuity of the Confederacy. This statement is - confirmed by Mr. Stephens’ interview . .. with Mr. Howell, and also byan inter- view the editor of this journal had with . / ' Confederacy. Jefl‘ersonDavissomé fifteenlyears after Lslave. Mr. Lincoln’s figures were a, the war. Stephens stated to Mr. How- ell, as Mr. Davis stated to Mr. McClure, that Mr. Davis had instructed the com-- missioners not to entertain any negotia- tions that did not recognize the per- petuity of the Coxifederacy. Mr. Mc- Clure’s interview with Mr. Davis was ‘ ‘ ‘ Happy Norwalk! published in these columns and repubi lished throughout the entire country, and never has been disputed. Mr. Davis lived for nearly ten years there- after and gave special contributions to .this journal during that period. Mr. Lincoln’s attitude on the ques- tion is entirely beyond dispute. He ' met the Southern commissioners at Hampton Roads on the 3d of February 1865, and had a protracted conference with them on board the River Queen, then lying at anchor near Fortress Monroe. That conference was entirely fruitless because of Mr. Stevens’ frank statement at the outset that his ine structions were not to entertain any proposition that did not recognize the As President Lincoln could not discuss that question at all, the conversation was entirely desultory and necessarily accomplished nothing. President Lincoln returned from the Hampton Roads conference and two days thereafter, on February 5th, 1865, he summoned his Cabinet and read to the members the draft of a message and proclamation which he had written on that day. In the message be pro- posed to Congress that authority be given him to attain peace by the pay- ment of $400,000,000 as compensation for slaves. The message and proclama- tion to follow the approval of Congress, were submitted to the Cabinet, at which there was doubtless a full discus- sion of what had transpired at Fortress Monroe. The Cabinet ofiicers there- fore understood that President Davis would consider no proposition that did not recognize the perpetuity of the Confedracy, and the result was the unanimous disapproval of President Lincoln’s proposed message and pay-' ment for slaves. On the manuscript of this message, that is yet in existence, is the following indorsement in Mr. Lincoln’s own handwriting : “February 5, 1865. To-day these pa- pers, which explain themselves, were drawn up and submitted to the Cabinet and unanimously disapproved by them. A. LINQOLN.” There can be no doubt, therefore, that Mr. Lincoln desired to end the war by the payment of $400,000,000 to the South as compensation for the slaves, and that had he been met in a generous spirit at the Hampton Roads conference, the proposition would have been made, and in all probability 3 would have ended the war. After the attitude of J efl‘erson Davis, as publicly proclaimed by him when the report of the Hampton Roads conference had been made, there was no disposition in the Cabinet, in Congress, or among Northern people, to accept any such generous terms, and we have no record of Mr. Lincoln having made any further effort to accomplish compensated eman- cipation. , We do not agree with the Chicago Tribune that Congress and the country would have rejected the proposition to pay $400,000,000 for the slaves if Mr. Lincoln, upon his return from the Hampton Roads conference, had been able to assure Congress that such an expenditure would have ended the war and restored the rebellious States to the Union. The war was then cost- ing nearly $4,000,000 a day, and 100 days of war would have cOstqui—te as much as the amount proposed to be paid for slaves; but Mr. Lincoln’s control- lingidea was that by compensated eman- cipation the South would be restored to the Union with much more cordial relations and general sympathy for the government, and it would enable the Southern people to resume their indus- trial pursuits and aid in paying the enormous debt contracted by war. True, it would have been earnestly op- posed, but we believe that both Con- gress and an overwhelming majority of the people would have sanctioned such terms of peace, had President Lincoln then been able to give assurance that they would end the bloody strife and fully restore the Union. The Editor of the GAZETTE is able to make the further contribution to the facts in this payment of slaves matter, by stating that on as many as two or three occasions President Lincoln caus- - ed the writer to send for Mr, Greeley to come over from New York to washing- ton tobonsult with him at the White House upon this subject of paying a fair cash value for -each and (every gross amOunt of four hundred minibus, but Mr, Greeley was "iii'favor or; paying iiverhun‘dredjiiiiiionsg‘itthe - ”rebellious states would lay down their arms and come back with true loyalty into the Union.

Walsh of Danbury, who recently sued William Harris of that place for ma- licious prosecution, seeking $200 dam- ages. The trial a week ago was bitterly fought. Attorney Murphy, defending Harris, attempted to impeach the testi- mony of Judge Walsh, and a large num- ber of witnesses was summoned by both sides. Each was determined to make the bill of costs large enough to swamp the opposition in case ofthe latter‘s de- ' feat. The casellargely hinged on the court’s acceptance of the plaintiff’s testimony. The bill of costs, which J udee Walsh will be required to pay, will do serious damage to his purse. Wadhams vs. Gray. This case is attracting more than or- dinary interest at home and abroad. Mr. Wadhams was the only Witness ex- amined at length yesterday. Mr. Gray was on the stand but a few moments, but .Mr. Wadhams was under fire all the remainder of the day. The allegation of Wadhams is that he put a large sum of money in Gray’s hands for the purpose of effecting a compromise with his creditors, and that a good share of this, Gray put into his own pocket, not even paying several parties he had represented to him, that he had paid. His real purpose in this trial, however, seems to be to impeach Gray and have him disbarred for gen- eral dishonesty with his clients. ’lhe, following is the jury that is trying the case : John Coyle, Bridgeport; William H. Wilmott, Jr., Darien; John W. Ferris, Fairfield; Charles Atwood, Greenwich; William S. Booth and Alex. J. Bob gess, Huntington; R. M. Rose and Walter Fitch, Norwalk; Edward F. Morris and Benj. U. ~ Lyon, Stamford; L. A. Hawley and S. E. Dunning, Trumbull. Epldemlo Unabated. The typhoid fever epidemic in Stam- ford does not abate. There were four new cases yesterday, and two deaths are reported! One death is that of Charles Frey, a baker, who sold milk that came from Blackham’s farm. His case is a most deplorable one. No sooner had the epidemic been traced to the milk than Frey. was boycotted, and he lost all his trade. To add to the trouble he was taken sick and also his five children, who are still far from recovery. The other death is that of a son of Dennis Hanrahan, the saloon keeper Who died Sunday. There are several serious cases reported and more deaths are expected. The physicians'believe there will be no secondary epidemic. The relief fund now amounts to $2,500, and the poor class of patients are supplied with food and trained nurses. Every mail bringé floods of letters and circulars to the health board from persons who want to be engaged as nurses, fer a consideration. Grand Lodge. l. O. O. F.

Naval Academy for a Naval Cadet from the 4th Congressional district of Connecti- cut, on June 30; next.

Sage, Bridgeport. The committee reported last night and the honors fall to Ernest A. Weis- cheit, of Danbury, the home of Naval Commander Dickens. _ The N orwalk applicants made a good showing, as did the others, but it was plain that the Danbury lad was “head and shoulders” to the front, and he was accorded the plum of which he was de- serving. 7 The physical examination of the ap- plicant can be taken at his convenience, but not later than April 26th. .
