A Scrap Of History from the Official
Record.

On the 1lth Of April, 1848, as will be
seen BY referring to page 6lO, Congresston.
al Globe, Mr.. Palf1ey then member OF
Congress from Boston, said, He had
lately known charming boy whom God
in his providence had seen fit to take
away, (voices g charming" q charming
negro, y yes, said Mr.. F., = said the word
and I do not take it back on account OF
the sneers of gentlemen. Irepeat it, q
charming and most interesting eolored
boy He was. fitted for the Oldest UniYer-;
sity in the country. Z But God took him
away. Had he had been spared he would
have been the equal ssociate, perhaps the
successful competitor of Mr.. P!9s own SON..
Mr.. P. could say for his son if he, had not
treated the lad with every demonstrations
of respect and good will, his father would
not have felt for him that esteem and
confidence which he now felt. $50
Mr. Johnson, of z Tennessee, (now Pres.
ident, desired to interpo posee one question:
The gentleman (Mr PaIfrey told them
fthat g charming young negro had not
been called hence he would have beeng
the associate of his son in one of the old
est Universities in the State. And if his
son had not treated his associate with
proper respect he would thereby have for
Ifeited the confidence of his parents. Now
his question was, I" would the gentlemen
from Massachusetts be willing to see that
interesting, talented and g 1charming ne-s
gro boy become the married companion i
of his own daughter {" -
Mr.. Palfrey replied, in substance, that
he would introducelno one to the female !
members of his family who on account of
any controverted rules sof society might
be disreputable to them. ).
On the 18th of April, three days after:
(see page 637, Mr.. lPalfrey became very
indignant, said Mr.. Johnson had intended
to insult him. He might retort offensive.
ly, but would not abuse the indnlg lgence OF
the House by doing so; a.l.5..ss =. zs.s.; s;
Mr.. Johnson replied at some length, IN
which he disclaimed any purpose to in-s
suit Mr. p, butinstead thatif the charm
ing" negro boy was the eqaalsof the son
he must be the equal of the daughter &c.
Mr.. Palfrey said, an answer to- the.
gentleman's present remarks is rising to-
my lips butt suppress it. s 3. 3
Mr. Johnson continued; he knew the
gentleman's theory and practice must be-
very different and that his true sense of
honor and the high tone of his morality
would forbid his ever putting his theory
into practice Having tested the sincere
ty Of the gentleman's theory he had moth.
ing more to say. II 5s.s.tss s.
This little scrap of history is valuable
chiefly as showing that eighteen years
ago, the blackest OF all the black repnbli-.
cans rejected with scorn all idea of ming
ling the races in marriage, and that AM
drew Johnson at that day came forward
voluntarily as the champion of theSour !,

of social equality among the races to pub

From New York.

New YORK, June IA large nun ber
of prominent merchants and business men
of New York have extended an invi-
tation to President johnson to visit
that city some time in June, at his con-
venience. 1t. is understood that no po-
litical significance attaches to the invita-
tion, these gentlemen being merely de-
sirous of rendering the President public
reception and introducing him to the peo-
pie Of that city.
The cholera at quarantine is said to be
of q very malignant type, and is princi-
pally confined to the German passengers.
Eiehty-four cases have been admitted on
board the hospital ship Falcon, out Of
which number fourteen have died, leaving
seventy patients at last accounts under
treatment A revenue cutter is shortly
to be stationed in the lower bay for the
protection of quarantined vessels, and to
prevent passengers detained there from
escaping to the shore.
New YORK, June 1.-The steamer
Morning Star, from Rio Janeiro, May 4,
has arrived.
The news from the River Platte was
important. There was fearful slaughter,
April 10, of l,2OO Paragraphs, on an
island opposite Stapura. 10000 Brazil
ans crossed the Xerona on the 10th, with
out opposition and drove in the Para
guayan skirmisbers. Next morning, they
occupied Stapura, and captured four gen.
erals and flag. The whole allied army
was transferred, on the 10Th, to the Para
quay side OF the Parona. The Paraguay
ans abandoned their camp, three miles on
the road to Humantia, and retreated to
that fortress, on which the allies were
marching. Hermantia cannot be held,
and speedy end of the war is anticipated.
The Brazilian Imperial Assembly has
been convened. The Emperor's speech
called especial attention to the currency.
The custom house in Santa Catherine
was blown up, and twenty persons killed.
Advices from Rio Grande De Sui state
that the old silver mines worked by the
.Tesuits have been re-discovered.

The Ep1soopA1 METHODIST CnuRcH.-

The EpIsoopAl METHODIST CHURCH.
Two or three weeks ago, we stated, think
ing it to be correct at the time, that the
General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South" then in ses-
sion in New Orleans, had changed the
name of the said Church to simple Meth
odist." We were in error. They chang
ed it from "Methodist Episcopal to
episcopal Methodist" This Conference
adjourned during the first week OF the
present month. 1t extended the pastoral
term to four years. Twenty-seyen thou.
sand dollars were voted as the support OF
the Bishops OF these we are under the
impression there are about one dozen.
The probation system was abolished, and
members are to be received into full fell
lowship at once; while those who may
be seeking the right path arc to be as
signed to classes until they give evidence
of their qualification for membership in
the Church itself. In regard to the fnan-
ces, also, the hand of reform has not been
idle. The old chapter in the Discipline
upon this subject was stricken out, and
the different congregations and district
stewards left to provide means tor paying
the preachers. The Bishops salaries are
left in the hands of the episcopal stew
ards. The Secretaries of Annual Con-
ferences are hereafter to record "eyery
action as it occurs" Whether these
changes in the old system will be for bet
ter OF worse, orhow they are looked upon
by the clergy generally, we are unable to
say Wise men, and good, have made,
them; and the prayers of all should be
that they may rebound to the glory Of
God and to the purity, vitality and pros
perity of the Church.-Eagefezd Adrerts-

HOME AND FRIENDS.

Oh! there's power to make each hour,
AS sweet as heaven designed it,
Nor,need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature gave US
For life hath no charms so dear,
AS home and friends around us.
We oft destroy the present joy
And future hopes, nor praise them,
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop'to raise them.
For things SO fair still greater are
When youths bright spell hath bound us /;
But soon we're taught that earth has naught
Like homo and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time Of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us still that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were Nigh if but the light
From friendships alter crowned us,
'Twould prove the bliss, of earth was this
Our home and friends around u.s.
In publishing the following verse, the Buffalo
Express remarked that four lines more beautiful
are rarely writtens
A solemn murmur in the soul
Tells of the world to be,
AS travellers hear the billows roll,
Before they reach the sea.
The Utica Herald adds verse, and says that
four lines more truthful are rarely written:
A solemn buzzing in the ear,
When you retire to bed,
Tells you that swilling lager beer
Is dreadful for the head.
To which we can add verse, and four lines more
touching are rarely written:
A solemn creditor who calls
And duns you every day,
Of nuisances is worst of all,
When you've no cash to pay.

Logan" who was in Louisville,
My, a few days since, in a letter to the
Mississippi Standard, thus writes Of Geo.
D. Prentice, the world-renowned editor
of the Journal:
He is homely and shabby looking
specimen of humanity had on a pair Of
worn-out slippers, dirty shirt, seedy
coat, and evidently had not washed his
face for several weeks. But such is not
unfrequently the garb of genius; an &C.
centric way that great men often adopt
for being distinguished from the masses.
Iregret that my curiosity ever sought an
introduction to George D.. Pretice, for,
while / cannot but admire him asa jour
nalist, scholar, poet and wit, the remem-
brance of his personal appearance must
ever detract from the sublimity of his ef-
fnsions.

THE LABOR SYSTEM IN MIDDLE
GEORGIA,

An intelligent gentleman, writing to
the Augusta C0nStitatioR01ist on this sub
ject says
1t has become evident that the older
sections Of Georgia, especially the "Black
Belt" as Middle Georgia was formerly
called, WILL in the course Of a few wears,
be drained, not only of their surplus la
Dor but Of that which will be necessary TO
the cultivation of the soil Without any
interpOsition Of the Freedmeu's Bureau,
such result must sooner or later be con-
summated. Following the immutable and
irresistible law Of supply and demand,
free labor viii go where it is most valua-
bic. On the rich Prairies of the West,
and on the alluvious of the Mississippi
negro labor is more profitable and better
in other respects than white: but on the
lands Of upper Georgia and throughout
all that hilly and healthy belt which ex-
tends between the mountains and the
'l0w country from Virginia TO the
Mississippi, white labor must take the
place Of black and as the Freedmen's
Bureau only hastens the emigration Of
the negro westward, so il becomes those
who wish for the future welfare and pros
perity Of Georgia 10 hasten, so far as is in
their power the filling up by white emf
grafton Of the vacuum caused by the de-
partUre of the blacks.

An INTERVIEW WITH GEN. GRANT.

Cor. ofthe Cincinnati Rad Gazette.
An INTERVIEW WITH GEN. GRANT
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
Now that, between cOlOred delegations,
Virginia rebels, and Congressman of diff
lerent political compilations, the Presi-
dent has been pretty well pumped out
on the subject Of reconstruction, negro
suffrage, and other important subjects, i,
may not be uninteresting to hear the
views Of one whom the country respects
quite as much, perhaps, as Mr.. johnson,
and who has been more remarkable for
deeds than for words in the past five
years. Hon. Ben. EgglestOn, an old
friend of Gen. Grant and his family,
called on the General, a day or two ago,
and had a little social chat with him on
the condition Of the country. He
asked him what he thought of
the Freedmen's Bureau bill. Grant
replied that he liked it very well,
except that he thought il ought TO be
entirely i'm the hands of the army, in
stead OF, as it is, half civil and half mill
tsry. As the civil authorities could do
without the military, in regu-
lating the relations between the freed
men and the people of the South, he
believed that instead of civil agents and
the entire machinery ought
to he worked 10y the army.
The conversation next turned upon the
suppression of the Richmond Examiner.
Grant said the order was issued under his
direction, and met the approval Of the
President. Pollard, the editor, had
broken his parole, and the chances We're
that che would be put through for it.
Grant did not state the nature Of the
parole, but the inference from his re-
marks was that it was a restriction from
disloyal articles.
On the subject Of admitting the South
arn States to representation. Grant said
be was in favor Of letting any loyal man
IN the South vote for COngressmeu, aud
# they elected loyal men, ali right
asked him--a little surprised
n this apparent conseTvatism-how
many loyal men he thought had been
elected in the South. " A5oUt SIR, IN
5ludiHg Tennessee" said Grant. As TO
the troops from the Sou-h.
rs some We're in favor of, Grant said he
lad no idea Of doing anything of the
kind. He couldn't tell when il might be
lone; but evidently not Just vet.
The above is about all the General had
ime TO say before he was seized with tie
horse mania, 20 which he is subject. He
insisted on showing his Congressional
riend his fine stud, in which he evident
V takes more pride than in solving the
intricate problem Of reconstruction. Brief
IS his remarks We're, they still showed
hat he is not seriously intent on being
he Democratic candidate for the next
Presidency; and that while he believes
he Southern people accept the situation,
he still thinks they will bear a little
yatgbiuu
