The Post on monetary affairs says: The
news of the intended recall Of the F'rench
troops from Mexico has had AZ yet but lit
tie influence on the Stock Exchange. The
suspense relative to the time and manner of
reducing the volume of currency gives a
fevcrish aspect to the market, and all par
ties are anXiously awaiting the turn which
the discussion on the new loan bill will
take tomorrow. The loan market is easy
at six per cent. with exceptional transac-
tions ON Government cOllaterals at five per
cent. to best houses. Rates for money were
somewhat stihcned during the past three
days. Commercial paper is in less demand,
and passes mt 7@l0 per cent. The stock
market shows rather improved feeling to-
day. Governments firm, and railroad stocks
more active, with increasing disposition ~
buy.

The Presidents Plain Talk 20 the
Negro DeputatiOn.

.O...'l . NASHINGION, w feDruafy q.
The President did some plain talking,
this afternoon, to the colored population,
and said some things that will disturb the
radical digestive operations to such an eX-
tent as to throw the 'sichly body into con-
yusions.
The delegates to the Colored Convention
now sitting in this city, called on the Press
idcnt, headed by Frederick Douglass.
They were received cordially by the Pres
idcnt.
George T. Downing, one of the delegates,
and Fred. Douglass let off speech at Mr..
johnson, indicating to him the part he
should pursue and giving him some ndvice
as to the treatment of the negro population
in general. The President deemed it a lit
opportunity TO let them know Just what he
thought OF the negro and Ills untitucss for
equality with the white race. ..srI ....trr
He showed that the two races hated each
ether mt the South, and he showed the folly
of attempting TO turn loose the freedmen
without preparation, and without time for
passion and excitement to he appcascd, and
without time for the slightest improvement,
and give him the privilege of the ballot
box with this ennity and hate existing be-
tween them and the white people. He be-
licved that in throwing thcnegro and white
man together at the ballot-boX they would
commence a war of races, which would re-
suit in the exclusion of one with no benefit
to any. i tt4aEs ~ aaa 3
lie gave them TO understand that the peo-
pie of each community should have the
right to settle the question ofthe qualiflca-
ton for suffrage without the intervention
of Congress. This rule was applicable even
in the District of Columbia.
The interview was quite lengthy, and all
through IL the darkey faces WINGED under
the wholesome and unexpected frank talk
of the President. Douglass and his con-
frcrcs writhed and twisted uneasily rs the
President progressed; and AS they departed,
Douglass remarked to his companions with
a sigh: "If the President sends us 20 the
people we will have to go and get the pco-
pie right
The President overhearing this remark,
added, "Yes; for have great faith iuthe
people, and believe thoy will do what is
right"
This interview is the all-absorbing sub
jcct of conversation here Tonight
The President is applauded for the sonti-
mcnts he uttered by nearly all, save the
colored population and the Stevens-Sumncr
faction. -.--a't-@
As Douglass bounded lightly up the stairs
to meet the President, he encountered Mr..
Hahn, one Of the claimants for Senatorial
seat as representative from Louisiana.
Douglass cried out as he passed Hahn, We
won't let you gentlemen take your seats
in Congress for awhile yet placing great
emphasis ON the plural "wc." The Prcsi-
dents remarks must have convinced him
thnt so far us he is concerned, "we' will not
have the pleasure of disposing of Mcssrs.
