The President and Mr.. Co,rax.

The President had lengthy conversation
on Saturday with Mr.. Colfax and Gen.
Grant on National affairs. The details
have not transpired, yet it is known to have
been in the main full and frank discussion
OF the arguments for and again speedy re-
construction, This was done in the most
friendly temper, and with entire unreserve
and personal cordiality. The interview is
deemed importast, as setting at rest the
imputations so freely made by Southern
sympathisers that the President had taken
otense at Mr.. Colfax's recent speech, and
that there were to be hostile division be-
tween theoxecutive and legislative branches.
The President has hitherto believed imme-
date restoration most judicious, while Mr..
Colfax prefers delay. Mr. Colfax's faith
in his position wakes stronger, while the
recent action of the Southerners themselves
has done much to undermine the President s
previous conversations.

Southern OpiniOn Of tho New

TO politicians here:
We do not SEQ that there is much 10 excite
apprehension in the minds of our people in
the result of the receat elections at the
North. The contestants seemed to differ
enly in name; for in every material point of
principle they held together. In New York
the canvass attracted more attention, and
was more warmly contested than anywhere
else, Il in that state theRepublioan and Demo
oratcparties put forth very similar platforms,
both most emphatically indorsing the ad-
ministration Of President johnson and his
policy Of reconstruction The party that
carried these elections was not the party

A NEW York correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald, speaking of the
burning of Rev. DR.. Tyng's Church in
that City, aelates the following circum-
stance as having transpired in the
church a few years ago:
Gen. Banks visited this Church some
years ago, wearing an old blue army over
coat. He was allowed to take the back seat
used by coIored folks and poor strangers.
Presently he threw back his overcoat, the
stars of Major General cleaned out, and
at once half dozen pew doors were thrown
open and ushers were at hand to bow him
TO the best seat in the house. The old war
dog waved them away and kept his place till
the services were over.

hearts ftheir manyworshipping assem-
blies in the one act of thanksgiving, at
one and the same time.

these and other like reasons, /, Charles

festival, and do now set apart, in lier
thereof, the first Thursday--being the

all to join, upon that day, in these gray,
but pleasing duties.
