From an article In the Cincinnati Com

make the following short extracts, mainly
to show to the Radicals, hereabouts, their
organ, the Journal, and the local Govern

"Colored schools are established, and
there. are persons, who are not traitors
who think It would not be well TO mix the
white and black children In the same
school-rooms. We do not know that either
would be hurt by the process but the pre-
judice against such mixture Is, perhaps,
pretty strong. How many wards oil Cru

The Chicago Times, referring to the two
vetoes of President JOHNSON, trurhfully re-
marks:
The country may congratulate itself that
two of the deadliest blows ever aimed ut
the liberties of nation have been werded
from its heart. The freedmen's bureau bill
was designed to stretch an expensive,
tyrannical network over the liberties OF
the people of thirteen states. The civil
rights bill was designed to reduce to a.nul-
lity the judiciary Of eleven States, and thus
take from them their strongest constitu-
donM safeguard against the encroachments
of the central power. Both these measures
were utterly despotic and IRRESPONSIBLE. Had
either become law, 1t would have been as
grand calamity rs would have been the
success Of the so-called confederacy That
the nation has escaped the infliction OF
these two gigantic wrongs Is owing to the
fearlessness, strength and patriotism OF
President Johnson.

Major Andrews happening to be in
Parkersburg last Saturday, on his way
to Marietta, on important business, con-
sented TO remain here, though sorely
pressed for time, provided he could be
allowed to debate the questions at issue
before the people with Governor Bore
man or Gen. Harris. both of whom were
announced to speak here on that day,
and did speak. This proposition was
formally submitted, as we understand,
through the Hon. j. B. Blair to Messrs.
Boreman and Harris, or their friends.
After due deliberation the proposition
was rejected.
It was then proposed that Gen. Harris
should have half tho time on Monday,
at the Conservative meeting, which was
then already announced, and discuss the
questions before toe people, if he would
remain. This, too, was declined. An
offer was then submitted to have q dis
cussion at amy time within two weeks,
either here or at Ciarksburg. All Of
which We're declined.
They were evidently afraid to meet
Major Andrews, or any other clear head
ed sound loyal man in debate upon such
issues as Radicalism has presented to the
country Afraid to let the people have

pursued by those who seek to undermine
and destroy the liberties Of the people,

these are copperheads. As the weather
becomes warm their vision begins to
contrast, so that after q while they will

can't see themselves. The people are
wide awake; and we tell Gen. Harris
there are certain rods in pickle for him,

A noticeable feature of the present Con-
gress is the number ofnegroes who daily
occupy the galleries of the Senate and
houseof Representatives Day after day
the same faces are to he noticed there
until even Sumner, it is said, is amply
satisfied with the display. The Hon.
Mr.. Marshall, of Illinois, made a speech
on the subject the other day, in the course
of which he said,
''Sir, there are poor men in our coun-
try who need the charity Of the govern
ment as much at least as colored men.
Look around these galleries. Our con-
stituents cannot spare time to come here
day after day and listen to the discus
sions in these halls; but from the COM
mencement of this session until now you
find your galleries crowded with the
children from Africa, who are to be fat
tened out of the treasury of the country.
These are the people that come here day
after day, and darken these legislative
halls, While my constituents are toiling
at home unable to pay the tax gatherer.
For want of a market, their grain rots
in their granary, while we have for an

ly for the flag and for the honor, safety
and glory of their country, are dragging

ry, unnoticed and uncared for are so pa

NEW ORLEANS, April 19.-The Confer

of Rev. G. F. Dagget, who appeals from
the decision of the Virginia Conference.
The decision of said conference was sus-
tanned.
The Bishops characters were taken up

endorsed
The Book Committee failed to agree,
and two reports were submitted in refer
ence to the publishing house. the subject

The Committee on correspondence
made q Ieport and the Conference adop-

she has alwayz stood, ready and willing
to consider, with Christian candor, any
unequivocal and scriptural oveftures for
sympathy and fellowship which may be

in their general representative capacity.
"Resoirea, That the General Conference

The Nucal -Apprentice System.

The Secretary of the Navy, after much
consideration, has produced a bill"For
the better manning OF our naval vessels,
and for the education of 5000 naval APP
prentices." The wisdom ofthis measure
is apparent and acknowledged by all
who have the interests of our navy at
heart. An experiment in this direction
has proved that the system will be pro-
ductive of much good, and that it can
be maintained at trifling cost in COM
parison with its value. BY this method
the youth of this country, who may en-
list as naval apprentices, will be able in
time to compete with the most favored
for the highest positions in the service
as the same chance for promotion is off
cred to all, and results may be as prom
inent as when a railsplitter became a
President.
Europe has tried the apprentice sys-
tenn, and annually sends forth trained
seamen, who are a credit to themselves
as we'll as to the nations to whom they
belong. We are behind the age in this
respect, and it is time to put ourselves
on an equal footing with other naval
powers. If Congress does do something
now, the system which has been inau-
gurated and has been in successful ope-
ration for nearly two years will be abol-
ished, the school ships laid up, and the
boys sent to the receiving ships and to
sea.

Of possessing a chip of the stone monu-

extent has this petty larceny been
carried that the tombstone presents the
appearance Of a broken piece of granite.
