IN LIVE WITH \ PARSON

The London Court Jonrmal tells US
the following pretty love story:"A scene
lately took place at the house Of Colo
mel and Iady-,In the north. The
daughter very lovely gill, fell in love
with the tutor, Presbyterian Clergy
man, and 50 far forgot herself as to
make known to him her attachment.
In honor bound, aad to the credit of
the Scotch clergy be it spoken, he rea-
soned with her, and then, finding argu-
,ment Of no avail, went to her father and
begged for his immediate dismissal
The colonel was astonished, but when
upon inquiry the truth transpired, he
was so struck with the young man s
deep sense of honor that he told him
he would give him an opportunity Of
going to Oxford and taking orders,
and that upon entering the English
Church he would not only give him a
living, but his daughter also. w un-
derstand both parties are very happy
under SO kind and sensible an arrange
ment."

The telegraph informed US yesterday
that IA 1000 working women had petit
toned the pr,si,i ent Of the United States
for relief. TT csc wom,n are in the en-
ploy Of government contractors and the
petition says, they la5orfor INSULT clent
wages and endure great wrong and pri-
,yativn. "-
1t peculiarly unfortunate that these
poor petitioners hatren to be nothing
but white women. Were Ia, 900 strap
ping .wenc.cs, fresh from Dixie or any
other place, to petition the president
for redress of wrongs, there would be
q certainty Of sIcccss. Abolition
newspapers would devote leaders to it,
abolition legislators would introduce a
resolution and make speeches with ref
erence to it, and for its benefit the be-
nevolent daughters of Chicago would,
in less than month, have instituted a
fair and turned their smiles and hanli
work into substantial relief.
It is useless for white men or white
women to petition the president for re-
lief from suffering. The north has CO.
habited. with aboltionism, and she is
now in travail in the attempt to bring
forth freed African. The operation
is one requiring suffering, and nc
amount of pe,itioning to our presiden.
tial obstetrician will afford mitigati tion
of the pain. The north has been in
labor four years, and has accomplished
nothing; it may be in the same condit
ion four years longer and yet nothing
be accomplished. Whether anything

GENERAL SHERMAN NOT
CUNyE TED

The New york Tribune made itself
and al. other members Of the aDolit ion
family happy, not lorg since, by an
nouncing that General Sherman had
been converted, ard baptized into the
faith Of negro-equality. But alas, the
dream was but brief one. .~>Tmos1ay
later the same paper was obliged to
give utterance to the following: T.
"a letter, received here yesterday from
General Sherman, contains the highest cvi-
denco that his oldysws about the colored
unionists are unchanged. He charges the
north with having gon crazy about'th ng
GER he says that he believes in the negro in
his place, leaving the inference that his
place IS not in the ranks, that in consistency
with his belief he has employed negroes
that come into his camp as walters servants
and lAborers, an that his convictions in re-
gard to the impo!iey of making soldiers Of
the negroes c .nnet be changed.'
That General Sherman has not aa-
opted the belief that a negro Is equal
to a white man; that lie is no. direct
ing his armies and using his energies
for the sole purpose Of emancipation
and colonizing negroes, instead Of en-
ploying them against armed rebellion;
that he thinks it wrong for Massachu
sets to f!l=acr quota with refuse ne
groes, while her own citizens stay at
home to make money out Of the war;
may be a source sincere regret to abo-
i'ionism, but it Will bea subject afsor-
ding profound satisfaction to all men
who have any other hope in the pres
ent war than securing the freedom Of
the black rsee.
That General Sherman is to-day
leading his armies against Charleston
instead Of staying in Savannah and de-
voting himself to the p!lsliaathropi c
task Of colonizing the S,u:h Sea is
lands with freedmen, is matter of
poignant regret to our metropolitan c.
temporary. There is, however the
consolation that what,ls los. to aboll-
tionism is gain to :le country that the
negro may suffer more; bat the white
man will suffer less. Alas! for abolit
ionism; it has not today one single lead
or in the high military places. Every
general who has achieved success has
negro equality, and is devo
ting himself solely to ,sAe labor of dis
armins the rebellion. There is no
man who Is equal to the tssk of captur-
ing rebel strongholds aid at the same
time Of cmancipating 6 the negro and el-
eva;iug him to political and social
equality with the dominant race. CHI
