The President replied that he would
make no speech. The best way was to
talk plaenly and distinctly. If he had not
given evidences in his past career of his
friendship for the colored race, there was
nothing now that he could do to that end.
He had said, and he repeated it here. that
if colored mankind could find no Moses to
lead them out of bondage. he would be that
Moses to lead them to the Land of Promise
and Liberty, but he was not willing, under
the circumstances, to adopt policy which
would lead to the shedding of blood, and
the sacrifice of their lives.
He believed if the policy which some
are persisting in at present was carried out
it would result in great danger to the color
ed man. He said. Suppose the colored
men now in the South, by a magic wand,
be enfranchised tomorrow, what good
would result to him
He then expressed the grounds on which
he was opposed to slavery, and said it
should now be abolished, and national
guarantee given in regard to it that could
not be revoked. He then stated the evil
result which would accrue by forcing the
principle Of the extension of suffrage upon
the people of either of the districts of
State, in opposition to the express will of
the majority. At the conclusion of mis- re-
marks, Fred. Douglass said he would have
to refer the great question to the people and
their representatives, and saying he had
great faith in the people.

peal we may make be vain repetition of.
numberless petitions, yet the spirit within
us this day impels us to still another effort,
and moved by a spell over which will has

Not carelessly, in spasmodic emotion of
pity for the unfortunate, but earnestly, fer
ventIy, prayerfully, we send you the undy-
ing, unresting appeals of Southern women.
The mighty of ages past, who have glOried
in the resistance to armed force of man,
have bowed to woman's prayers and wo-
mans tears Be great IN a0eakness;; spurn
the servile throng that clamOr for the blood
that will some day be required of you, and
let kind mercy plead.
AS the quiet, placid stream that has
flowed peacefully for miles, is suddenly in
terrupted by the jutting crag Of some bank
impediment, and, from thence impelled,
the waters moan and dash forward in rest
less agitation, so, to the new era of peace
in our land, is the Imprisonment of the late
Southern President. Your acts of inde-
pendent justice produce the first, but the
eankering sore Of past animosity is kept
infamed by this one sad, unfortunate thing,
the vision Of a lone captive, afar from home
and friends, with the shadow of the weight
of anguished years upon his brow.

Cholera Decreasing

A German scientific paper gives US the
following statistical comfort as to the ehOle-
ra: "From the foundation of Rome up to
the time of Augustus, in seven hundred
and thirty-two years, there appeared thirty
three epidemics; from the birth of Christ
up to 1860, ninety-seven; in the seven
teenth century, fourteen; in the eighteenth
century, eight; and since the beginning OF
the nineteenth century the cholera has az
peared three times. It is evident from
these figures, that epidemics are decreas-
ing in numbers as well as intensity, which
pleasant fact is to be ascribed to increasing
cleanliness in dwellings and clOthiug' tc
the Improvement in sanitary regulations
to the speedy removal Of miasmatic sub
stances, and TO the progress of the medica
science in general.

Franklin and His Gig.

1t is now more than century since
Benjamin Franklin, Postmaster General of
the American Colonies, by appointment of
the Grown, set out in his old gig to make
an official inspection of the principal routes !
It is about ninety years since he held the
same Office under the authority of Congress- !.
when a small folio, still preserved in th
department at Washington, containing bud
three quires of paper, lasted as his account
book for two years. If Postmaster GEN
eral now were to undertake to pass over all
the established routes, it would require six
years of incessant railroad travel at the rate
of 1876 miles daily, while If he were to
undertake the job in an ''old gig,'' he
would require more than an ordinary life
time for its performance. Instead of a small
folio, with but three quires of paper, the
postofice accounts consume every two
years 5000 of the largest sized ledgers.
keeping upward of hundred clerks con
stantly employed in recording transactions
with more than $4,000 contractors.

Interview between a Colored Delegation
and the President.

w ASHlNGTOh, rep. l.
A delegation consisting of representa-
tives of cOlored people of various States,
called this morning at the Executive Man
sion and had an interview with the Presi-
dent for the porpose of expressing their
views on the question now being consider
ed touching on their general interest and
of ascertaining the ideas of the President
in this connection. G. T. Downing, a
representative for the New England States,
first addressed the President, narrating the
benefits which would accrue from the con-
ferment of the rights and privileges of citi-
zens of the United States upon the colored
people. He asked for the right of suffrage
"a suffrage not only in this District but
throughout the land.
Fred. Douglass next spoke, and said they
were not here to enlighten the President as
to his duty, but to show respect aud pre-
sent in brief TIE condition of the colored
race. The amendment abolishing slavery,
he desired, should be enforced. He said
the colored race were subject to the Gov
erument, to the draft, aud to bear the bur-
dens of State, and they desired to be en-
dowed with the right of exercising some of
the privileges Of citizens of the Govern
meut.

The Dying Prisoners Lament.
By 1lCzEMH##.

Ny soul is sad and I'm weary,
And I sigh for freedom again;
Oh, my heart grows lono and dreary,
In this home Of sorrow and pain.
But soon I shall welcome the moment,
When angels will bear me away,
To the land where loves blest orient
Still shines as bright as the day.
I would could see my mother,
With her soft hand on my brow;
And talk to my wayward brother,
OF all that I'm feeling now.
I've thought Of them Oft in battle,
When comrades were falling near
When death with its ominous rattle,
Was settling on the soldi srs' bier.
But, ala! I am weary and dying,
In this land Of strangers and foes;
Not friend is near where Pm lying,
To soothe my sorrow and woes.
But in Heaven there is no sorrow,
Nor wars, nor Prisons are known,
And when ] die on the morrow,
I'll wake in my Fathers home.

A LaHIese Bureauerat.

The Reverend Mr. Callahan, Chief of
the Freedmen's Bureau at Shreveport, La,
who said that "the only law of the Bureau
was the bayonet in the hands Of the negro, F."
will probably deny, when he comes to be
questioned on the subject by the President,
that he ever said such thing; but it is to
be hoped that the President will hoist
him nevertheless. If the Bureau is to be

The Washington Chronicle records the

at appears that gentlemen in Liver

New York. During the voyage a SOW had
a litter of pigs, which, upon their arrival
at New York, could not$ae landed. as Trey
were not included in the original manifest.
The Collector of Customs Immediately tele-
graphed the Secretary, asking whether the
stock was liable to seizure. whereupon the
following laconic decision was the result:

Gen. Fisk Denounced as an Infamous Liar

Gen. Fisk Denounced as an Infamous Liar
The Lexington Req orter copies an extract
from the recent speech of Gen. Fisk, of the
Freedman's Bureau, and thus disposes of
certain of his allegations;
''The statements made are clear, distinct,
and uneq uivocal as to persons, time and
place, and we'll calculated by such distinct
ness to obtain credenoe, especially among
the people of the Nroth. Yet every state
ment is an unmitigated falsehood. We
have made enquiries of black and white to
ascertain if there was single grain of truth
on which the structure of malicious calum-
ny could have been built. We knew of
course that it was impossible that there
should have been thirteen lacerated, bleed
ing and MANNED discharged soldiers on the
streets of Lexington, where there was then
a company Of negro soldiers stationed,
without some commotion being excited.
Our enquiries were devoted to whether
there was single discharged soldier who
had received no stripes and wounds. but
any i'll usage from his former owner. Nor
any one was known to black or white.
Gen. Fisk made speech to the colored
population of this place, last week. but we
are assured made no allusion to any such
barbarities. His statements were made in
Cincinnati, where there was no one presen
to contradict him, and were inteded exclu-
sively for Northern circulation and effect.
We have also made inquiries of the Mas
ter Commissioner concerning the less i'm
portant statement as to the sale of the slave
girl, and found it equally destitute of truth.
1t has too often been the habit of the South
to treat with derision or silent contempt
the gross falsehoods circulated as to their
barb arities. In obedieBDe to our duty as
conductor Of the press, we denounce the
statements given sboye as infamous lies,
and we brand their author as an Infamous
liar

The Dance of Death.

THE Moulton Gala Herald says: "on
Friday the 18th ult., as we are informed.
there was dancing party at the residences
of Mr.. Scott, near Avoca, in this county.
The weather was extremely warm, oppres-
sively so, in the early Part of the night, but
in the morning before day the temperature
changed very suddenly, and il became ex-
tremely cold. The young people were en-
gagged in dancing during most of the night
and became very much heated by their exer-
else. In this condition they started home.
The sudden change of the weather and the
excited state of their systems, doubtless
produced the result which followed. We
are informed of those who engaged in the
dance, two died the next morning-seven
have died since-and others are seriously
i'll; nearly all who engaged in it are more
or less i'll. 1t is hardly necessary TO COM
ment upon this sad affair. Let it be a
warning to our young friends who delight
so much In this amusement. The bali
room is no place to prepare for death"
