the letter of Hon. John TempleGraves,
we published in yesterday’s Constitu-
tion, a copy ot which I scud you by
Ibis mail. In that communication ap-
pears a letter from Hon. John H. Rea-
gan, and you Will observe that some
remarks of yours In reference to the
Hampton Roads conference are made
the subject of criticism by both Messrs
, Graves and Reagan, statements made
! by yourself in reference to that con-
ference being contradicted. Mr.
Graves is a moat luteresting writer aud
a delightful gentleman. He bases his
communication very largely upon Mr.
Reagau’s letter and upon such infor-
mation as is presented in published
history; While I do not desire to take
anything which I believe unjust.’
Picking up s piece of paper and push-
ing it toward pie, he sard: I will j
write one word at tha top of this sheet |
of paper and t bat word w iil be ‘union’
mud that as a basis, you may wrf sout
the terms of settlement and on that I
Will use all fny influence to have cou-
gress settle as we agree.’
“ ‘I told him what our instructions
were from President Davis, and when
I did a Cloud came over his face, bis
chin dropped to his breast and for sev-
eral minutes he did not say a word.
After a pause he raised out of hts seat
and said to me with bauds uplifted:
‘Then I am not responsible for any
further bloodshed. I had hoped the
war would end with this conference,
but it is impossible to make any set-
tlement with the instructions by
which you are bound. I trast you
will cousider confidential what hssoc-
cured between ns.’
“ ‘If we bad been empowered to ne-
gotiate a settlement with the preser-
vation of the Union as a basis, the
south would have been paid for its
slaves and we w*>ttld have gotten auy
just and reasonable recognition at (he
bands of Mr. Liucoln. Of course our
