gress to confer the right of suffrage
upon the negroes of the District
He also expressed himself as still
opposed to any attempt on the part
of the Federal Governmet to force
negro suffrage upon the people of
the Southern States. We shall
await with some interest full re-
port of this speech. 1t seems to
have been anything but satisfactory
to his audience, and Fred. Douglass
terminated the interview by declar-
ing, with characterist impudence,
that he would "refer the great ques-
ton to the people,"
We may, in this connection, ex-
press the hope that The Times is not
mistaken when it says that the Sec
retary of War, Mr.. Stanton, is not
sin favor of thrusting tn. ballot in
20 the freedman's hand before he is
provided with labor, compensation
food and clothing, and before he hnocs
the use uf a ballot.-New York N.us.

IN obtaining sixteen bales which
We're somewhat damaged by the
flames. The men then managed to
build raft of sixteen bales which
they had recovered, and were soon
floating down with the curreut, but
had gone onl y short distance when
they strucF snag, the force of the
conclusion breaking the raft and
scattering the bales Of cotton in eve

est difficulty that the party escaped
watery grave. In the confusion

CoMsU2NCE-S TRICKEN A QUEER
CAsE.-One Mackson Wright, says
the Columbus, Ohio, Journal, ar
rived in costody of the Sheriff of
Knox County, and resumed his lod-
gings at the Ohio Penitentiary. In
1859 Wright was convicted ofgrand
larceny and sentenced for one year,
arriving at the Penitentiary on the
18th of April. On the Fourth of
July following, possibly inspired
with the grand memories of that
birthday Of freedom, he resolved up-
on his liberty, and being employed
on the out outside he ran away, and
has been at liberty ever since. At
the time he made his escape he was
but eighteen years of age. He is
now twenty-five, and is married; out
recently, considering the rather in
secure state of his personal liberty,
: he resolved to return and fill his
term in the State Prison, and now
feels that, for the time at least, he is
the right man in the right place.

 "'Tis pretty picture" said my U4cle To- by, .She has suffered persecution, Trim, and learnt mercy"
 "A negro has soul! an please your Rpn- or?" said the Corporal, doubtingly.
 q am not much versed, Corpral," quoth my in Uncle Toby, in such things" but suppose God would not leave him without one, any more than thee or me-"
 ''It would be putting one sadly above the head of another," quoth the Corporal.
 ''It would be so, said my Uncle Toby.
 s'Why then, an please your honor, is g black wench to be used worse than white one?"
 ''Only," cried the Corporal shaking his head, ''because she has no one to stand ur for her."
 "'Tis that very thing, Trim," quoth my Uucle Toby, (which recommends her tt protection her children with her; 'tis the fortune of war which has put the whiI into our hands now-where it may be here after, Heavensknowsl but be where it will the brave, Trim, will not use it unkindly,
