WAsHINaToE, September 4.
It is not believed here, as is stated in the
English journals, that the President hss
invited John Bright to visit the United
States as the guest of the national govern
ment. Certainly the Navy Department
has no knowledge that the Colorado or anv
Vessal has been deeignateQ w Drlng him to
this country. The Colorado, only two or
three months ago, was placed on the Euro
pean Squadron, and it is not all probable
that she will soon return hither.
PARDoNED.
The President recently psrdoned eight
applicants Of the $40 900 class residing in
Richmond, being the remainder of list of
about thirty, the majority of whom re.
ceived Executive clemency two months
ago.

NEW YORK, September 4. .
FROM NORTH CARoLIHA
The Tribune's Raleigh correspondent
says that there is occasional difficulty be-
tween planters and negroes, on account of
the reluctance of the latter to have half
their wages held until the end OF the year.
The negroes prefer in all cases to cultivate
the land on shares, where their reward
will be commensurate with their industry.
It is generally determined not to lease
land to freedmen. A few sensible plan
ters have adopted the share for share prin-
cipIe and found that it worked we'll A
large number of planters sre driving away
all women and children who were former
ly their slaves, and refuse to support them.
The correspondent says it is evident that
the planters do not intend to sit down un.
der the system of free labor In this STATE,
as such treatment to the families of the
blacks plainly indicate that they are AIM
ing to bring about universal discomfort.
Anarchy and crime are the pretexts for de-
msuding the compulsory system.
Colonel Whittlesey, Superintendent of
therFresdmen's Bureau in North Carolina
has lately issued circular instructing his
agents, in all well authenticated csses,
when families of women and children are
turned away BY the planters, to levy upon
their crop of corn and bacon for sufficient
amount 10 feed them until the close of the
year. ~
The agent at Charlotte has written that
the issuing of the order has had an ex-
csllent effect in thSt district, where the
evil has been rapidly on the increase.
Some who had sent families away, had
them brought back again rather than to
have their crops levied on for their sup
port.
There seems to be general impression
among the planters that the convention

provide for the arrest and binding out of
sill vagrants, or persons and children found
without homes and employment, for term
of years, or until the age of tWenty-one.
There is, therefore, scheme for msnufae-
turing vagrants in order to procure their
services free, or upon their own terms.
Sales Of probably not less than fifty
