MR GREELEY recently wrote to Sena-
tor Wilson to exert his influence to re-
strain the Alabama Convention from
adopting extreme measures. Senator
Wilson writes General Swayne that the
policy pursued by the Convention in
legislating for divorces, and in other
ways transcending their authority, and
the ultra speeches of Mr.. Bingham and
men of that class, is doing great injury
to reconstruction, and bringing odium on
the Republican party. Telegram TO the
Times
This is one result of the late elections.
But pray why did not Messrs. Greeley
and Wilson think of this matter before ?
All that the Alabama Convention has
done was, in the main, predicted by the
Democratic presses and orators, yet,
then, these gentlemen pooh poohed all
that was said. Ifthey and their retainers
are honest men, they will confess out
right that the Congressional miscalled
reconstruction scheme is a swindle from
frat to last, and that it, rather than the
conduct Of a few fanatics in Alabama, is
doing great injury to reconstruction
and bringing odium on the Republican
party - World

A kentucky Negro is Severe on WIFI
Trash.n

Rev. Mr.. Butler, colored minister,
addressed the Kentucky colored conven
ton at Louisville, on Saturday last, as
follows:
The future of this country depends not
so much on what party is in power rs it
does on the removal of all disabilities;
they weigh down its people. Then, and
not until then, will the country have
peace. We don't ask for social equality.
] never saw that white woman yet that
looked so well in my eyes as good brown
colored woman. And if it wasn't so, we
don't need their social equality, because
our friends, the white folks have kindly
managed it so that we have every shade
to choose from, from the deepest jet
black to the purest white. Laughter.
And, as there are no ladies present, al
low me to say that the practice of social
equality has not been on our side, but on
the part of the whites, who, in their dark
and devious ways, were not always able,
let us charitably suppose, to tell black
from white. This social equality has not
been sought by us, but they have run
after us; and though now we are eman-
cipated and free, they haven't stopped.
A Voice-We'll stop it when we get
the testimony.
Yes, that's so. They better not come
my way even now. We say to them, let
us alone we don't want any mixture.
If they had let me alone / might have
known what color was but as it is, my
greatest trouble is to keep my hair just
right Don't talk about social equality.
If / was q white man in Kentucky, l
would hide my head; wouldn't men.
tion it, with so many evidences standing
around of my social equality. We don't
want any more of it. Keep on your side
ofthe line, and we'll keep on our side;
and in the course of time we'll &c. back
where God left us. [Cheers and ap
nlause

Tbs essence of petroleum is recon.
meDded for cleaning type. A French
printer, after eighteen months expert
ence, reports that the petroleum, vola-
thing rapidly, does not gum up the type,
in fact, leaves nothing on the face Of the
metal but little white powder. which is
easily removed by means of soft brush;
that il has no effect in opening the pores
o. the quoins, but, on the contrary,
hardens the surface renders the face OF
the wood peculiarly smooth; lastly, the
cost Of the petroleum is less than half
that of turpentine, and the rapidity with
which it dries, allows the forms to be
washed without removing them from the
press or machine.

were scarcely eight hundred periodicals of all

proved great assistance to the newspaper

1t is estimated that at the present time there
arc several hundred mcn who make this their
