Gsr. GaAyr AND THE PREslDEscr.-rhe
New York correspondent Of the Bosom
Journal tells the following pretty good s,o-
ry of Gen. Grant:
A gentleman Of this city, an intimate
personal friend Of Gen. Grants called on
him in Washington not long since. His
purpose was to get the influence Of Gen.
Grant with the President in relation 10 an
office in the city. Gen. Grant told him
frankly TINT his name would be Of no ser
vice to him, but an injury. lie said he had
solicited very few fayors Of the President,
and to them no favorable response was re-
turned. Tie said that one day Mr.. johnson
spoke with him in relation to Il. lie said
to Gen. Grant: aYou say that you are not
. candidate Tor the Presidency. Now prom
ise me-" said the President, +" that you will
not let your name be used in connection
with that office and win grant you any Ia
vor in my power to bestow.' TO this Gen.
Grant replied:-" Mr.. Johnson, am not n
candidate. But suppose the people insist
upon making mo one what can do? And
besides, Mrs. Grant has boon recently look
ing ut the White House, and thinks she
can run that establishment quite as well
as It IL run now. And you know, Mr.. Pres.
idsut, that these women will do pretty
much rs they please. And Mrs Grant
would decidedly object to my giving any
such PROMISE" The President looked ut

this was in Jest or in earnest

The Camp Meeting Outrage in Maryland
REPORT or TIT FREEDMEM's BUREAU IN

The Freedmen bureau mas concluded
its investigation Of the recent Outrage on
the camp meeting at Shpleys Woods. in
Mary land, and the following is the RESULT
BALTIMORE, Nd. Oct. IL, 1866
To Major. General o. o. Ro,rard:
GENERAL-In accordance with instrlic-
tons, / have the honor to report that i have
carefully examined into the cause and or
igin of the riot which occurred OIL the
night Of the 30th of August, 1866, ut a
camp meeting Of the Methodist Epispocnl
Church in Shipley's Woods Anne Arundel
county, Maryland. More than forty wit
nesses have been examined at this Office, in.
Guiding prominent ministers Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. many Of the tent
holders and many Of the c0lorcd people
themselves, as well rs strangers accident
ally present. by the evidence IL appears
that for long series Of years the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church has been in the hab
il of holding camp meetings on the ground
named above, at which II was the univer-
sal custom for eolored people to attend;
that on this occasion the colored people
were present Us usual, and had their camp
ground assigned to them by proper officers
appointed for the purpose Of selecting a
camping ground for both white and colored
persons that the camp meeting was more
than usually quiet and orderly until the last
night Of the meeting that the meeting OH
the night Of the Goth Of August was one Of
more than unusual solemniiy aud impress
siyeness, and that the riot was instigated
by number Of white men making an ut
tack upon colored people while in the act
Of prayer, evidently with the view Of in.
volving the whites engaged in camp meet.
ing in riot. This fact is shown from the
white rioters always retreating within the
circle Of the white peoples tents when per.
sued by the negroes, and also by threats
against the white ministers. II Is shown
conclusively by the testimony That the ne
groes acted only in self defense, and left
the ground entirely when advised to do so
by the white preachers, thus leaving their
tents and goods to be destroyed and burned
by white rioters. For careful reading of
the whole testimony, It Is impossible to re.
sist the conclusion that the riot WINS pre-.
mediiated, and that the object Of the riot
was-frst, an attack upon the colored peo.
pie. and second, n deliberate attempt to
break up the camp meeting Of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, on account Of the
alleged anti slavery sentiments Of its min.
isters and members.
