A CLERGYMAN AND A BooTBLACK On Sat
urday morning well known clergyman of
Philadelphia, stepping upon piece of thin ice,
broke through il and engulfed one boot in mud
The incident occurred in crossing at Sixth and
Cheanut streets A private in the noble army
of boot blacks, witnessing the occurrence, ran
up with the usual salutation, " Black EN-, sir?
shine 'em up?"
The preacher looked at the defiled mate 10
the polished boot, and directed the urchin to
begin operations. The boy began upon the
clean boot, to which, by due proportion Of
brilliancy that would have done no discredit to
Russia sheet IRON Having done this, he looked
the divine in the eye, with palm extended.
"Now for the ten cents, Mister"
"When you're DONE said the clergyman.
Done what?"
"When you've cleaned the other boot was
the reply.
"No you don't" was the quick rejonder,
little spiced with insolence; Z" another sportin
man shut my eye up this morning. Yer cant
catch me twice the same day know you
sportin men. Pay me now, and I'll clean the
other boot. If yer don't yer can travel the
way We are"
The divine looked at him, astonished for the
moment at being mistaken for "sport," and
then, dropping portrait of Secretary McCul-
loch into the hand of the urchin, requested him
to hasten the completion of his task Three
minutes afterwards the good man was walking
down Sixth street, with eyes straight, evident
ly bordering upon the indisputable fact that
it takes all kinds of people to make up the
sum total of world

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The telegraph informs US that Southern Bishop
and another person recently visited the prisoner OF
state confined in Fortress Monroe. and rendered him
their best efforts for his release; but that Mr. ID.
responded that he had given up all hope of speedy
liberation; while his counsel had been told by the
President that he would probably be tried on charges
pending against him before a civil and also before
military tribunal.
This reminds US that bis went over last Spring
at Richmond to October; which is now very near at
hand.
We cherish no ill feeling toward this prisoner;
while, on the other hand, be is stranger to us, whom
we have never been tempted either to love or admire
That he has played an important part makes no differ
ence in our vew He is just man, after ALL and IN good
part the creature Of circumstances as most men are
That some have wanted to hang him on a sour
appletree" while others have done like honor, Is
quite immaterial. But we do feel that the Govern
ment of our country is dsgracng itself by its treat
ment of this prsoner-that it ought to have brought
him to trial long since, and let him know
his fate-that it is playing shabby, shut
fling cowardly part with regard to him-that
it should either reract its charge of assassination or
have him indicted and tried thereon according to law
-tnaL keeping MN PIlsOu uHtlcui anu hob wv"
attempting to bring his case to ISSUE is dfusing an
impression at the South that the Government dare not
try him for fear of damaging developments and dis
committing verdict. In short if there was ever case
mismanaged to the peril of momentous public inter
ests, it is in our view, that Of the United States

in some one to permit it to drag in this miserable
fashion. nm. $50 -s,p .i...~,s'.. go.
All ths-mo5t of it, at any rate-we have urged
already-perhaps more than once-and, as no good
has been effected we might as well have said nothing.
Some exceedingly smart people think capital may be
made for or against Andrew johnson by letting this
game go on. We feel that it should be stopped at
once-that the prisoner should be arragned forthwith
on the most damaging charge that can be maintained
against him-that he should be promptly and fairly
tried thereon-and that all talk of furnishing or par
doning him should be forborne till the verdict shall
have been rendered. There seem to be persons to-
day who dissent from these views; but does any one
imagine that there be question, twenty years
hence, as to their soundne5s and Importance

The Union State Convention of North Carolina,
which met yesterday at Raleigh, expressed the opin-
ion of % 600 loyal citizens OF the State in unanimously
accepting the Constitutional Amendment, and declar.
ing its full confidence in Congress. From the tone Of
the sense Of the North Carolina papers had reason
to expect that an attempt would be made to commit
the Convention to Mr.. Johnsons policy, but it has
chosen a wiser course. Alfred Dacken who was
nominated for Governor, has pledged himself to sup
port the Constitutional Amendment. North Carolina
has endured enough from Gov Worth and Mr. John
sons policy, and will, hope, repudiate both by the
election Of Mr. Dacker.

Mr. Phillips is the daring and earnest exponent we
recognize in his nomination popular choice as sig
nfcant in its way as that of John Stuart Mill in En-
gland. There is no good reason why we should not
have in Congress most intellectual men. Legsla-
ton will not suffer from any accession of enlightened
thinkers, however radical. We heartily wish Mr.
Phillips could learn to judge more chartably those
who seek ends identical with his own by somewhat
different means-we apprehend that his unchartable
judgments and bitter words may now prevent his
eection-yet we hail the sending to Congress OF men
of his caliber and independence public gain and
would therefore gladly chronicle his election.
