NEGROES ORDAINED TO THE MINISTRY AT
MACON, GEoRGIA.-One of the three
candidates for orders was negro man
named Robert, born slave in the family
of Hon. Howell Cobb, and although nomi-
nally an involuntary servant, in fact as
free all his life as he is now, having early
learned the trade of wheelwright and
carriage maker, and for many years one
of the best and most Skilful of his trade
in this city, protected and encouraged by
his late master on all occasions. Among
the most interesting features of the pro-
ceedings were the presence of Governor
Cobb, who, after the ceremony, was the
first to take Robert by the hand and con-
graduate him on his elevation, and the
evident qualification which the new minis
ter felt and expressed at the presence and
goodwill of his former owner. The two
other colored ministers were men of like
standing and character, and have for some
years been preachers or eXhortcrs, but un-
qualified to administer the communion,
| solemnize matrimony, or perform the
other functions of an ordained clergyman.
Numbers of gentlemen of position and in
| fluence were present, and one OF the
presbytery, an eminent lawyer, advanced
in life and in very feeble health, travelled
over hundred miles across the country
in his buggy to take part in the ordna-
tion. -COrTeSpoadence Neto York Times.

How TIE BUREAU is TO BE WHTTEwASliED'
In the House of Representatives, Monday,
a resolution was passed for the appoint
ment of a committee, consisting OF two
Senators and three members, to investigate
the action of the Freedmcn'S Bureau III
the States in which it is located-to send
for persons and papers and take evidence
under oath, and to make a personal eXaml-
nation, and to report the same to Con-
grcss; to employ stcnographer and clerk
and that the expenses be paid equally out
of the contingent funds of the Senate and
House.
In the name of common sense, what will
this Congress not undertake? And there
will be no end to this kind Of nonsense un-
til the southern members are admitted.

what they claim as good authority that
the trial of Jefferson Davis Will CON-
mence at Richmond, Va, on the hrst
Monday of june. The defense, it is
added, has been entrusted to Charles
O'Conner and Jas. T. Brady, OF New
York; W. B. Read, of Philadelphia; MI,
Brown, of Baltimore; Mr.. Pugh, OF ONO
and George Shea, formerly corporation
attorney for New York. The arguments,
alike for the prosecution and defense the
Times remarks, will involve the most
comprehensive and searching INQUEST
into the constitutional authority OF the
government, and the relations OF indi-
vidual States thereto, that has probably
ever been made since the foundation OF
the Union.
