Received note from Gov. Seward, asking me to name Consul to
Rio. Named James Munroe. Another note from Fred Seward asking me to call at
State Department before going to Cabinet. Called, but Gov. Seward had already
gone.
Went to Cabinet. Talk about colonization. I said nothing.
All the others except Welles (Stanton not present) in favor of Treaties.
Several of the loyal Governors came to-day, and in the
evening I called on them. Saw Yates at the National, and left card for Berry of
N. H. Saw Kirkwood at Kirkwood House. Saw Soloman at Willard's and left cards
for Andrew, Bradford, Sprague, Tod, Blair and Pierpont. At Gov. Yates' room saw
Genl. McClernand, of Ills., who made a very favorable impression on me.
