The President and the Secesh
Niran .har

[ From the Lafayette lind Courier
In tins connection We are reminded
Of story told in Washington of an IL
tervIew between the President and a
secesh clergyman from Alabama, Of
the Pollard and Bishop Polk persuasion.
His pulpit had been prosliluted before
and since the war to mischieyous and
treasOnaole utterances, and when Gen
eral Thomas gave him formal notice TO
quit, he posted off TO Washington to
see the President and OBTAIN his
rights.
The President received him court
eously, but when he made known his
eTrsnd, he arose from his seat, and
gave him blessing that he will remem-
Der for q lifetime. Going back TO the
early days of conspiracy against the
nation, ne srTaigned the apostate
clergyman as guilty before God" for
the measure of war and woe. which had
degolated the land Not satisfied !"
said he with this carnival of blood. you
are still hsmmering away at your end
of the string to keep alive this agita-
ton. and encourage an alienation
which is to-day the bane of reconstruct
ton. and must operate to widen the
gull you have dug between the people
Of the North and the people OF the
South.
why, said the clergyman, interrupt
ing the President in his furious depun-
Citations, zone would think from your
anathemas that we poor preachers were
accursed of God and man, and wer e
shut out from earth and heaven"
Heaven, repeated johnson, with de-
rison, 81 say reverently that you and
those of your cloth who persist in this
suicidal tolly-this great crime against
God and humanity-may deem your
selves lucky if you get to hi"

A HARD LcE-The President, in his
message vetoing the Freedmens Bureau
Bill, refers Congress to the fact that no
appropriations had been made TO main
tain and educate the orphan children
of the dead Union White soldiers The

THE FRAME LAw.-Some time since

JUN, ooun"' considering the extraordinary
r upvn demanded for dwelling houses,
soma time ago concluded to build him

carpenters and instructed them to build
the house but nine feet ten inches high
The dwelling is now completed, and
what it lacks in height it makes up in
length.
