BEEcHER GETS CoxrEDERArr PARDoNED-JudgeG Gray,
of whom the following is told, member of the
Confederate congress from the Galveston and Houston
section of country He is old and influential citizen
of our sister State:
Judge ? W. Gray, of Houston, Texas who had come
to Washington, for pardon without having provided
himself with the usual and necessary endorsement OF
his papers, about to return unpardoncd, When by
accident he was brought into personal association with
the Rev Henry Ward Beecher, who, after acquiring
ample knowledge of the Judge and of his purpose of
Immediately returning home without having effected
the object of his long Journey rendered his services as
he about to start the white house to fulfill an ap
pointment with the president, With Characteristic
frankness and humor the judge exclaimed: But what
would they say at home when should tell them that
was pardoned through the intervention of Henry Ward
Beechcr?"
Heretofore, it would have seemed so unlikely that
tenacious and high-strung southron would have found
himself in such relation to the ntoleran and unspar
ing enemy of slavery, that prediction of such
this would have been received capital stroke of
drolery. The company present, including judge Gray
and Mr. Beecher manifested their of this by a
hearty laugh all round The assurances on either side
such belong to the times and the persons and
were of the pleasantest kind.
In the evening MIR. Beecher announced to Judge Gray
that he might pack his trunk his pardon would reach
him in an hour hence. National Intehgencer
