KNOWING TOO MUCH

During the administration Of President
Jackson there was singular young gen
tlcman employed in the public post-ofioe
at Washington. His name was O..
He was from Tennessee, the son OF q
widow, neighbor of che President, on
which account the old hero had a kind
feeling for him, and always go.him- ont
of his difficulties with some of the highest
officials, TO whom his singuIarinterfSrenc
was distastefuL }LfTgg HgT
Among other things, it is said of him,
that whileLhe was employed inthe Gener-
fal Post Office, on one occasion he 5had
to copy letter to Major 4 H ------- ..---,..
high official, in answer to an application
made by an old gentleman of Virginia or
Pennsylvania. for the establishment Of .
new post Office. The writer of the letter
said the application could not be granted,
in consequences of the applicants ssproxi-
nifty to another Office 'NA5la1A est
When the letter came into G-----''s
hands to copy, being a great stickler for
pfainness, he altered faproximity's to
"nearness to-" Major H observed
it, and asked 6 -2-z-- why he altered his
letter. va iohsia ~ tAid+IIH
"Why,". replied c., 6 ssbeoause I
don't think the man would understand
what you meant by proximity"
"Well, = said Major 81 "try
him; put in the proximity again
In a few days letter was received from
the applicant, in which he very indignant
ly said: ''That his father had fought for
liberty in the second war of Independence,
and he should like to have the name Of
the scoundrel who brought the charge of
proximity or anything else wrong against
them"
"Therel' said c., adid I not say

c. carried his improvement 50
far that Mr.. Barry, the Postmas ter GEN
eral, said to him: s,.sfs

you know too much" ~
Poor G. went out, but his old
friend, the General, got him another place.
This time G--s ideas underwent .
change.

"Nor the Presidents House,"

Startling Developments,
A SOCIETY FOR THE ABDUCTION
OF VIRTUOUS YOUNG FEMALES

During the past few months several re-
spectacle young girls of our city, as well
as others in the western part Of the State,
have mysteriously disappeared from their
homes. and no trace could possibly be as
certaned of their whereabouts, notwith-
standing the most diligent search was
made for them. Recently, however, some
startling DEVELOPMENTS have come to light,
through the arrest cf a young girl named
Jennie Thompson, at Utica, who was at
tired in male habilimcnts, and went under
the assumed name. of James Thompson.
Upon searching her, some enormous ras-
cally documents were found, making star
tling revelations. There was manuscript
copy of what purported to be the consti-
tuition and by laws of the knights of
.he Secret Circle" In this document the
objects of the Circle are said to be to
kidnap and send to New York city houses
of prostitution young and virtueus girls.
1t is stated that after their being kidnap-
ped drug is to be administered to them,
and their action under its influence will
determine whether or not they are viItu-

question. The manuscript is signed by
twenty four persons, members OF the Sc

twenty four are tho &c Of Theodore and

The Methodist General Con-
FERENCE AND OUR SAVIOUR.
(From the Newark Advocate.)


At the recent annual meeting Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. rule was
adopted which henceforth excludes from
mem bership all persons who hold slaves.
1t has long been subject of mortiica-
ton to these godly men, that our Saviour
when on earth, adopted no such rule as
that which they have at last set up on
their own authority. Vow to account for
his remisness, they have not been entirely
able to agree. Some of them explain it
by supposine that he was an ignorant
man. Others are clearly Of the notion
that he lacked that sound morality which
light the souls of modern divines. Still
others seem to think that he was dough
face and shirked full expression OF his
views for tnar of rendering himself un-
popular. But these modest men, whilst
differing as to the cause of the omission
referred to, all agree that Christ's preach
ing was not up to the necessities and in
telligence of the present day. They think
that our Saviour did very well for the
era in which he lived but that consider
ing the necessities OF sectional party :"
which could never have attained power
and office on it's own merits, he was vastly
inferior to the Granville Moodys Of mod
ern times.

the Baltimore special to The World, sent
to that paper on the evening of the 7th;
s4 THE NEGRO DELEGATES.
The negro contestants for seats in the
Convention are exciting great deal OF
attention. The adarkeys know enough to
"keep dark and the more conservative
Republicans declare that SNOWFALL, Buck
Smith, and Robert Small are myths, and
have never left their quarters in South
Carolina and Florida. But the idarkeys
are here and no mistake, to the very great
disgust of,certain Republicans who are

the scolored race to get a chance at the
ioaves and fishes, but who object to Snow
ball and company IN proprin persona
