frage, a suffrage not only in the district, bat
throughout the land.
Fred. Douglas next spoke, and said they
were not hereto enlighten the President as 70
his duty, but 70 show respect end present IN
brief the condition Of thecolored race. The
amendment sbolishing slavery he desired
should be enforced. He said the colored
race was subject 10 Government, 10 taxation,
10 draft, and bear the burdens of Stale, and
they deserved to be endowed with the right
Of exercising some Of the rights of citizens
of the Government.
The President replied that he would make
no speech. The best way was 70 talk plainly
and distinctly. II he had not given evidence
in his past course OF his friendship for the
coiored race, there was nothing now he. could

peated il here, that, If the colored man could
find no Moses to lead them out Of bondage,
he would be that Moses and lead them TO
the land ofpromise and liberty but ne was
not willing, under the circumstances, to
adopt a policy which would lead to the
shedding Of blood and the sacrifice Of their
lives. He believed that if the peliey which
some are persisting in at present was carried
out It would result in great danger to the
colored man. He said, suppose the colored
men now in the South could, by magic
wand, be enfranchised tomorrow, what good
would result TO him? ts.-s ...s.f...
He then expressed the grounds on which
he was opposed to slavery, and said it should
now be abolished, and national guarantee
given in regard to itthat could not be re-

would accrue by forcing principle Of the
extention of suffrage upon the people Of this

STEAMER BURNED AT THE LEvEE.--
Yesterday morning between the hours of 8
and Z o'clock, a fire was discovered in the
cook house on the steamer General Hal
leck, which spread with such rapidity that
all efforts to extinguish it failed. The
hull and machinery, in very damaged
condition, were saved. No lives lost. The
General Halleck belonged to Captain Stall,
was valued at $1,000 and insured for s., 900
so the loss probably to the owner will not
amount TO over $4,000. The reign Of
fuicide still continues. When will it end

check upon bank in New Orleans, to be
paid in Confederate money. The court be-

Al. Il, I'D Of
is held that this ohense is crime, whether
committed by white man or slave, and
that the case should be adiudicated in the
same manner as If the offender were a
| white man. The Court holds, that for all
ofenses by slaves, which were declared to
| be offenses when committed by slaves and
| for the punishment of which peculiar class
| of laws were necessary; in all such cases the
abolition of slavery operates as pardon,
because there are now no slaves upon whom
| the Judgment of the Court could be pro-
nounced.
In the court below, the jury found the de-
PENDANT guilty but owing to the fact that
he was slave at the time the crime was
committed, the judgement was arrested,
and the case appealed to the Supreme Court
| 1t is now held that there was no ground
for such arrest; but for other grounds,
| the Judgment of the Circuit Gourt was
affirmed, and the prisoner remanded to the
county Jail of Maury county, to be re-
indicted for the crime.

The Court will meet this morning to sign
the minutes but no further business will be
transacted.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. yesterday
morning, about IL o'clock, a man named
Bowers Butcher was found almost covered
up with hay, in barn belonging to Horace
H. Harrison, Esquire, two and half miles
from the city on the Murfreesboro pike. A
man on the premises, considering his con-
duct suspicious, took the responsibility Of
arresting him, and brought him to this city.
Butcher stated that he left this city about
10 o'clock, for his home in De Kalb county
and that when he got as far as Slstetown, he
was set upon by party of white and black
men, and robbed Of $3.50. According to his
account he then made his way to Mr.. Har'
rison's barn.
Since writing the above, we learn that he
tried yesterday to make his escape, but die
not succeed. His appearance and conduc
are represented as being very suspicious
and as several parties were fired at, nigh
before last, ON the Lebanon pike, it is sup
posed that he may be implicated in the at
fair. An investigation of the case viii
probably elicit all the facts connected witt
this somewhat mysterious case.
