A Plain Talk Between the President
ard Senator Sumner OH the Negro
QnestlOn-HOW MIR. Sumner was Snub-
bed,
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Enquirer.1
"A friend at Washington assures us that
few weeks since an interview took place
between President johnson and Sepator
Sumner, which was substantially as follows
Good evening, Mr. i President" said
Senator Sumner. last week, upon entering
the Presidents room 10 the White House
GOOD evening. Mr. Senator" replied
the President please be seated for a
moment until flush letter to an old
friend"
The letter being finished. the President
surned to Mr.. Sumner, when the latter
said:
Mr. President. I have called upon you
for the purpose Of EXPRESSING to you the
views Of our people on the subject Of recon-
struction."
"Well SIR" replied the President
Mr.. Sumner commenced by saying, "sir,
your North Carolina proclamation does not
meet the appreciation Of the people, and

asked Mr. johnson.
1.-THE whole Northern people," said Mr..
Sumner. A

ple," replied Mr. johnson
tr'Then,' said Sumner. eve must take

eyes, sir, replied the President.
s'Then. sir" said Sumner, ''you do not
intend to enfranchise the black man %
I'll 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 sentiments
while Massachusetts has made hundreds Of
millions on; Of her loyalty; and it would
be poor return for Southern adherence to
the Government if the latter should 10 vio-
lation 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, aud re
joined by saying, Il am sorry to see you
evInciug so little sympathy with that ele
mont that placed you in power"
Al this the color flashed to the Presidents
face. and he added, emphatically, ''You
and I might as we'll understand each other
now as any other time. You are aware
sir. have rs respect for a secessionist;
still have ereatea detestation and contempt
for fanatic"
Good evening"" said Sumner and left
in huff.

Masonry Rising Into Religion.

The Masops OF Massachusetts have made
offer of their hospitality to leading brethren
of their ar cent Order at the South. Com
ing from Massachusetts, too, this fact will
rejoice the heart of every true Mason-will
show him the secret Of The fact that while
religions disappeared-while dynasties were
swept while empires went down =
the lamp that was trimmed in the days of
Solomon has nucd to burn brightly I'm
til to-day.
Masonry has in the past done good SER
vice to religion by keeping alive among men
the spirit of its morality. Opinion in these
latter da;s had taken the shape very gener-
ally Of the conclusion that in that respect
the Masonic system had outlived its uses
The error Of that public Judgment was at
all times plain to the thinkers who are able
to see underlying the fair surface OF modern
civilization, as in the case of ancient civil
cation all these wild and destructive pas
sions that constitute to society q constant
menace. But confidence in the permanence
of our social system Of modern times has
been exposed to all classes Of intelligence as
delusou, by the horrible atrocities that,
within the last four years and up to even
to day, have burst from the bad passions OF
men, darkening our civilization with the
shadows aud ashes Of moral desolasion. =
Under these circumstances it is delightful
to observe the humauities chat have been
eushrined for ages in the bosom of the mys-
tic brotherhood coming upon the scene and
rising on the wreck Of religion, holding out
to mankind the language of universal
brotherhood and love. All honor to that
precious institution of the ancient times
which, when Christianity has had its voice
choked to very great extent BY the false,
hood of hundreds who bad been pledged tt
rs service. stands out before mankind witt
this lamp of loving humanity in its hand
teaching and acting the loving Kindness o
the Sermon on the Mount. IN r. Ne1cs.

The Davis Peticoat Story Put at Rest.


Ifanything were needed to explode the
whole 'pettlcoat story" about Mr.. Davis.
the following statement by the Chicago Re
publican edited or soon to be edited by the
late Assistant Secretary Of War, c, A. Da
ia, should suffice
THE PErTIcoAr Story The Now York
Horld is taking good deal of trouble to
prove that Jeff. Davis was not captured iu
female disguise, as has been so extensively
reported, and, to considerable extent at
least. believed. Considering that no Wit,
ness has as yet come forward to prove the
truth of the story, it is hardly worth while
to bestow so much labor upon the talk of
its refutation.
The story that the rebel chief, when taken
was disguised in female apparel, aoas can
crd originated we presume as ''good joke
by the soldiers who witnessed the event.
though possibly by the mistake Of some who
never sawa geutleman's dressing gown -
According to the statement Of persous who
we're of the party captured with Davis, it was
such garment he had on, and the same
garment be had slept in during the night.
This statement is corroborated by members
Of the Chicago Board Of Trade Battery,
who accompanied the Wilson expedition
aud heard Che event narrated, with minute
details. by 1.-THE boys who captured and
brought in the rebel chief They state
that the petticoat story, gladys wa er proof
cloak" tin " tier bucket" aud all. was a
fiction. and that the only carmen resem-
bling female attire he had on was dressing
or morning gown.
