President johnson and the Fanatics

friend at Washington assures us that,
few weeks since, an nterv lew took place
between President johnson and Senator
Sumner. substantially as follows:
Good evening, Mr.. President" said
Senator Sumner, last week, upon entering
the Presidents room in the White House.
"Good evening, Mr.. SENATOR replied
the President. ''Please be seated for a
moment, until finish letter to an old
friend"
The letter being finished, the President
turned to Mr.. Sumner, when the latter
said:
"Mr. President, have called upon you
tor the purpose of expressing to you the
views of ou' people on the subject of re-
construction"
well, sir, replied the President.
MIR. Sumner commenced by saying:
'':5ir. your North Carolina proclamation
does not meet the appreciation of the peo-
pie. and they will not submit to have the
great results of the war thus thrown
away"
What people are you representing,
sils" asked Mr. johnson.
''The whole Northern people," said Mr..
Sumner.
Il apprehcnd you will find you but
represent small portion of the Northern
people" replied Mr.. johnson.
'"Fhen," said Sumner, 1--WE must take
your North Carolina proclamation as an
indication of your policy, must we?"
Yes, SIR replied the President.
"Then, sir" said Sumner, t'you do not
intend to enfranchise the black man.
II have nothing to do with the subject;
that exclusively belongs to the States. You
certainly would think it usurpation on
my part if attempted TO interfere in
fixing the qualifications of electors in
Massachusetts"
"But." replied Sumner, Massachusetts
has always been loyal State"
THAT may be" replied the President,
but the loyal men of the South have
made untold sacrifices for their Union SEN
timents, while Massachusetts has made
hundreds of millions out of her LOYALTY,
and 1t would be a poor return for Sou hern
adnerence to the Government. If the latter
should, IN violation of the Constitution.
thrust upon them local laws in opposition
to their wishes"
At this reply of the President, Mr.. Sum.
ner became impatient and irritable, and
relolned by saying, Il am sorry to see YOU
evincing so little sympathy with that ele-
ment that placed you in power"
At tins, the color flashed to the Presi-
dents face. and he added, emphatical!y.
"ioa and | might as we'll understand each
other now as any other time You are
aware, sir, have no respect for seces
slonist; but, as much as despise them, |
still have greater detestation and con.
teropt for fanatic"
Good evening" said Sumner. and left

1t is stated that Murphy IS connected

admitted that one of the signatures was

War, to converse with General Lee, and
ascertain whether he weuld accept the
command of our army in the field The
letter was written, and he met my father
at nv house, where they conversed for
an hour or more. This occurred a few
days OF week before the ordinance was
passed. Gen. Lee concluded the CONVEX
sation by saying secession was anarchy,
and added that, if he owned the four
million slaves in the South, he would
cheerfully sacrifice them to the Union,
but he did not know how he could draw
his sword on his native State. He said

The War in South America-Magui-
fude of the Struggle.

New YORK, Oct. 2-Further details
have been received respecting the war i'll
South America. The Paraguayans were
actively pushing forward, while their op-
ponents, the allied forces, remained mo-
tionless, but concentrated, at Cinderded,
waiting the attack. The Brazilian feet
on the Paroua river, had commenced a
retrogade movement, fearing that the
Paraguayans would construct batteries
below, so as to gain command of the river.
The magnitude may be estimated from
the fact that at the date of our latest ad-
vices there were $4,000 men under arms,
oil whom 0G,0G0 were Paraguayans and
$4,000 allies.
Three American vessels were injured
