daily during his whole official tcrm-ihc
most OF whom are recipicnts Of his ihvor-

At present his lot is hard beyond conccp-

and not one man in II thousand co"ld ever
think of passing through what he does dali

For his own sake, II he means to live
long enough to see the result Of his policy
of "resloration,' he should issue n procla-
nation of amnesty that would cover every

yerv chief of rebcls--hal both worked and
prayed for the rebellion had encouraged t
in every way in my powcr-had sacrificed
all possessed for it, and had been willing
and ready to die thousand deaths FOR the
success of the South These words went
right home to the President. Such frank
ness lie had never before heard in an ap-
plicaton for pardon, and he told the Doc
tor to 20 homc that every dollar OF ms
property would be restored to him.
1t was mainly, too, through the influence
of this popular and wholc-souled clergy
man that the President ordered the rcsto-
ration of the Southern churches. petit
ton was being drawn up i'll ficksburg
prnyinr for the restoration OF the church
cdifce there but the DR.. reached Washing
ton and had the church released before the
petition found its way to Washington 'its
all wrong" exclaimed the President andit
was not necessary that he should see any
petition on the subject But the final order
Of release was not sent without a fight
Mr.. Stanton, it is stated, was reluctant
about oheying the order. He believed the
churches, it is reported, we're the rightful
captured property Of the Goyernment ana
he cndcavored to tortify his position against
the President by calling concavc of some
of the Northern clergy, including Bishop
Simpson and others OF influence. When
Mr.. johnson heard of this he was exceed
/ ingly wroth. Seldom was he ever seen in
such tower of rage. "What attempt to
shirk my order?" The Secretary caught
! it, and my informant tells me that never
! did War Minister ''recoivc such cutting
/ as did Z. NJ. Stanton before II full meeting
Of the Cabinet.
! The chat cf the President with represen-
! tativcs from all the Southern States, on
| Monday, contained some important allu-
sions. lie said he did not believe the sto-
ries from Raleigh and elsewhere with re-
gard to the classification of the South but,
on the contrary, that lie looked upon them
/ rs 'pcstilcnt and malignant utterances. =
For his part, "he had confidence in the pro-
fossions of the Southern people, and OF
1 their purpose to re turn to the Union upon
principles of the Constitution" For him
self. he should adhere to that rs the chart
of his action, nor would he deviate one iota
from it, unless there was urgent necessity
to do so, which he did not believe would be
the case.
/ What shot was that at the Radicals
They don't believe in the Constitution as
applied to the Soutl-dont believe that the
South has any rights. On the contrary, she
is but conquered PROVINCE" and should
be cut up and sold to ''help pqy the North
ern debt in other words, swell the ill
gotten gains of Sumner, Butler, and the rab'
Bile who follow them The crisis is evident
( ly approaching. The "new dangers allu'
ded to by the President in letter some
weeks since, are not now only "threaten
ing" but they are upon MS, and fierce in
deed will be the fight between this and The
opening of Congress-fercer still when
Congress shall have convened. But th'
President is as firm as n rock, and on the
decks of the Constitution will hc fight this
Radical war to the bitter end!
Since writing above bout "Tho Church
es," | hear that the Rev. DR.. Newman, who
has been officiating for some time past in
one of the churches in New Orleans, called
upon the President few days since and
begged that zone of the churches, at least,
might be set apart for the use of the "loyal'
people in that city, "who had contributed
freely of their means towards their CON
struction;' but the Doctor met with mos
emphatic response in the negative! al dc
not make war upon churches" said th'
Presid cnt, "nor can l consent to ruin tht
churches. They belong to the trustees, and
the trustees must have them. The only
way can see for you to have the churchc:
is for you to come togctherl"
