SALES OF REAL EsTATE.-Messrs. Smith Il Nc
Gilliyray sold at auction, yesterday, house and
lot, No. 1876 Coming street, for s1625, and part OF
the Oakes tract on Goose Greek, consisting OF l2O
acres, at $3.50 per acre. Also, at private sale,
within the past week, a small lot, with small
wooden building situate thereon. for $1,000, and
two farms, within eight and eight and half miles
rom the city, for $500 snd $4,000 respectively, half
cash.
Although real estate has been considerably de-
urecated since the war, it still has market value
and sales are frequently made that prove advanta-
geous to the owners. At the present time the
market is extremely dull, and the prices obtained
by Msssrs. Smith McGlllirray for the property
mentioned above is fair sign OF the present con-
dition Of the market. Buyers are extremely
scarce and wary, and it Is seldom that transac-
tions terminate as fayoraby for the owner as those
reported yesterday.

out money or congressman. You know from
your own experience the luxury Of elections"
Here the President gave me a sly dig in the
side. eff they could only vote and hold cleo
tions as they used to do, they would not care
so much about things to eat; but chivalrous
people like the South could hardly be expected
to 90 to work to raise wheat corn, or bacon,
with their election privileges curtailed, for we
know that the chief incentive to wealth and
position in the South is to be sent to Congress.

Governor, Congressman, a Vice-President
and now a Presdent-there is nothing left for
me, don't plead for myself; but there are
many in the South that have never been
Aldermen, and / think of them, and these
District Military Commanders make not only
Aldermen but Governors unnecessary, and a
Congressman is out of the question. We can
rot expect the South to submit to its admin
istration.'
''Well," said l, seeing the President had
exhausted himself on that subject, "what do
you think of Ben. ButlerH'
"Ah." replied he, 'tyou have me this time.
Butler is one of those fellows that never
allow myself to think Of" Here the Presi-
dent laughed, and asked me if thought they
would impeach him. l said, "Your Excel
lency will understandth that am to do the ques-
tioning;" and, furthermore, that would not
like to commit myself as purpOsed publish

said he had none; but that he would like to be

After this ceremony was gone through with,
which the President, l observed, did with
great punctiliOusness, we rambled off into a
less dignifed style of conversation, and with
greater freedom and ease, in the discussion Of
the prominent topics of the day. Said he:-
500 you think Morrissey better man than
Mike McCoole and what do you think of my
Amnesty Proclamation ?' said that thought
he was, and that it ought to be much appre-
ciated by the people whom it was intended to
benefit.
He said he did not think so; he thought. he
was an overrated man; that Mikes last fight
showed that he had bottom but that he would
like to see Monissey' s powers exercised on the
radicals before the meeting of the next Con-
gress; and if Mr.. Morrssey would wait upon
him, he would give him the names of some

A TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT.

had a very interesting and instructive talk
with him on the subject of the elections and
on the state Of the country at large, and am
satisfied, since my conversation with him, that
we know very little of his composition, as his
VetOes and messages are not as good as he can
do in that line.

spend great deal of money, and would do
very well, if they would only leave politics
alone" replied that our paper was not par
