His first intention had been to support fhe di!) as reported by the committee; but h¢ changed {Bis views npon reflection, Re helieved the States lately 4m rebellion were still Btates, mor would they cease to be #0 until the general government | its eonsent; but the people of these States, by their rebol- ton, were deprived of their right to co opemte in the government of the country. He was opposed to the bill Deesuse it estalished a military government, which was Fesponsible neither to Congress or to the pdeple, but to ‘fhe commanders of the army alone. Another objection wes. that not a line in this bill limited its eperation or looked to the establishment of any other government, He thonght it would ave the effect of crushing out the liberties of the manses, and he thought the hopes of the ceuntry were fm the masses of the people of the Southors States, and that they must be elevated and the pow given to ‘them. He then expressed the opinion thit a commis- @ion of three should be selected to recorstruct these governments—one to be selected by the Senat, one by the House of Represontatives, and a third to be taken from ‘ane army, and he sent up to the Clerk’s deik #6 be read the draft of a bill which he bad prepared.

He thanked him most sinceely for bis Benevolence and felt himself honordd to have the privilege of thus meeting him. He was much gratified that stich » man as Mr. Peabody rep- reeented the Amorican people in England, Ho again thanked him for his liberal donation towards the educational needs of tiie country in his own name and in the name of the American people. He hoped ‘tnd believed that, coming at this timo, it would have a strong influence in ‘pacifyiag the troubles of our d's- ‘Wacted country. Probably Mr. Peabody himself might Rot live to see It; but he could form an idea of the deep feeling of reveronce with which his name would be ro- garded, and of the good effects which would result from this donation before the heads of all those now around Rim had grown gray. The President seemed mach moved towards the conclusion of his rewarks, for he q@poke earnestly and in # voice tremulous with emotion. Mr. Peabody was evidently deeply affected by the im Preeviveness of the occasion. In reply he thanked the President for the detinguished honor be had bestowed upon him in making him this visit, and gaid that he should over rexard it as one of the greatest honors of his Jife, He aseured the President of his own belief, which the bad everywhere expressed, that the course of the President had always been prompted by the most sincere desire to do what is fight and bent for the good of the whole country ‘wad to restore peace to thistroubled land. He also as- mured the President that the present feeling of Ensland, #rom the Queen and the peors down throughout ali the ‘maaseés of the people, war ove of sincere good will to- ‘wards the United States, and expressed a wish that there might always be the most perfect harmony between the two nations, Me said he was confident that in a few years all the troubles of the nation would bs ended, and ‘that the country, rising above all these divimone, would be far happier and more powerfal than ever.
