A Conversation with President
johnson. I '"'i-J 90.


We 4intptKeA following article in the
Bottom Commercial IT, contains some
fac s for serious consideration among think.
III men: ....,,.,
A gentleman who had free CONVERSE
til n with President ohnson, short time
sil ce, informs us that he found him hope
full, in good spirits and unhesitating in
the expression of his views. He does not
anticipate anything like democratic ma
ior ty in the next. House of Representa-
tivs, though the number of representa-
tives of that party will doubtless be con-
side.ably increased. But he does count
conf IDENTIFY on the return of a majority of
moo crate men,. who will be prepared to
deal with the people of the South as all
hone rable and high-minded nations deal
with their antagonists after having beaten
and isarmed them. And in districts and
Stats where the republican party fail to
nom nate such men he thinks democratic
candidates will be likely in a majority of
cases to be electad over radicals ~,
The President is unhesitatingly of the
opinion that the only safety of the nation
lies in generous and expansive plan of
copciliation, and the longer this is delayed
the more difficult will it be to bring the
North and the South into harmony. If
the suspicious, tyrannical policy is too
long pursued, the population of the South
will become as hostile in time to the North
as the people of Ireland are towards Eng
land, adding to t. s evil ofhereditary and
growing luminosity and ability for revenge
"A hundi ed fold greater than Ireland poss-
esses. ...g.tQuy ..t.., 81 .<iyf,
In regard to the blacks, the President
says they will find work enough, and for
many years TO come probably better re-
Enumeration than any other class ofagricul-
tural laborers in the country. The COM
petition Of capitalists and landowners will
insure good treatment and good pay from
the planters. That there will be much
disorder is to be expected; but there will
be no more than there would be at the
North were the humber of black laborers
sufficiently numerous TO enter into serious
rivalry with the white laborers.
The President is confident that nothing
can be safely and permanently done in re-
gard to restoring the currency. diminish
| ing taxation, and establishing the prosper
ity of tho country on sound and endu-
ring basis Until representatives from oil the
States are present in Congress, The idea
of legislating for one third'ofthe, .pppula-
tion of the country, and passing consti.u.
/ ton amendments without allowing them
any vote in the matter, or paying any at
tebtioni to their wishes, Is full Of danger
to the future peace and welfare of the
nation. They cannot betreated as sub.
jHgatel people or as yassal colonies with
outa germ af hatred being introduced
which will some day or other, though the
time may be distant, may jdevelope mis-.

Infamous IL True.

We take the following from the New York
Weekly Magazine, July 18th, published by the A
mcrican News Company; sit has been discov-
cred that the men recently employed by the Coy
ernment to disinter the bodies of our dead sold
iers on the battle fields near Richmond, after
having searched the bodies for money and Jewell
ry, pulled open the mouths of the corpses, punch
out the teeth, examined if they were plugged,
if they WERE cracked the teeth TO pieces for the
sake of the gold filings. No insult that the reb-
els have offered to the loyal dead can approach
in atroci'y this most increditable dissertation -
The above statement, made so positively by the
New York Weekly Magazine, needs investigation
aud should it prove true, Their, is scarcely pun
ishment known to past or present times too Sc
to infict on the perpetrators of such inaIig-
nant outrages. Ifuntrue, the publishers of the
Magazine should be held to such an account Us
will remind them through all time to avoid pub.

RICHMNoD, J,Hy2 1866.

The first case of misccgenation which
we have yet had here, occurred here on
Thursday uight last. Sergeant Peter W.
Cary, Of. Company G, Second Battalion,
United States Infantry was joined in the
bonds of wedlock to Henrietta, a mulatto
girl, slave up to the evacuation of RICH
mond. The ceremonies were conducted
with no little difficulty, as quite number
of youths, more disgusted than astonisbed
at the novelty of the idea, assembled about
the house of the happy couple and indulg ed
in several harmless little diversions to add
to the interest of the occasion, such as
chasing the the negro preacher with stones
and sticks, as he was proceeding to the fes-
tivites, etc.-The Sergeant has been ar :
rested since the happy event for bigamy, it
being asserted that he has two wives some
where else. u =.
Negro children, Gf we except those who
We're born. before the emancipation and
have survived freedom are becoming
very scarce. 1t is comparatively rare to see
a young picaninny. Negro babies are not
born often now, or. if born, they are not
raised. Somehow they have great knack
of dying. it, they are so unfortunate as to
come into this breathing world. Per-
haps they are sensible and do the best
they can for themselves by pursuing such
a-course. But it is ecertainly.a fact and
remarkable one in every Southern scom-
munity, that freedom has brought with it
a great fatality 70 young negroes. n
This seems strange, for it would appear
that if ever negroes took pains and care
to raise their young, we should expect il
now, when they are promised by the Rad
icas votes, seats in Congress, and eflaps
the occupancy of the White House.
There is, however, this consideration
which initiates against the health and
lives of young negroes-that they have
now to be supported by their fathers and
mothers; and these consider it agrcat hard
ship when they are born, and deem it a great
blessing. when they depart this life. This
is unfortunate for the young negroes, but
it is true, Maternal and paternal instincts
and affections arefnot so strong, with the
negro as the love of food, dress and idle
ness. Cuffee's iappetites and passions are
stronger than his affections, and the young
negro has to 60 under when he conflicts
with the selfish case and enjoyment Of

from the Convention because of the nav at

hardly any one to whom such a shares oonld
