THr PREss.-These be the mighty sorcer>
ers that have exercised the demon of slavery
from the land of Freedom. Day and night,
night and day, their manifold leaves, stamped
with the electric thoughts of genius, oratory
and poetry were flung out by the strong arms
of steam. They we're taken up by impulsive
winds, and swept from the great city through
the wilderness. They rose to the crest OF
the mountain; they sank to the depths of the
valley; they drifted down the mine; they
Hoa,ed out on the ocean, until at length war
for the Union, war for freedom to all, war for
a perfect civilization, stood harnessed and
plumed before the cottage of the people.

What they, as yet, are unwilling TO loosen

struction has been completed. Democratic
politicians may harangue, Democratic pa

issues, but their attempted destruction of this
Union is too recent; their cowsrdly adhe-
renee to the cause of its enemies too we'll
known; their open sympathy with traitors
and rebellion too fragrant to hope for recent

The Republican party is not severe; it is
not unrelenting; is il wrong that they, having

In the House the Presidents veto OF
the supplementary Reconstruction bill
was received and Immediately passed
over the veto, \ motion was made by
MI. Blaine, of Maine, that when the
House adjourn next Tuesday it shall be
until Monday, November II. The mo-
ton was followed by a long discussion
on the propriety of an adjournment at
this time. Mr.. Butler made a speech
declaring it to be the duty of CONGRESS-
to remain in session to watch the acts
OF the President and to settle the sub
Ject Of impeachment. Mr.. Blaine an
sWered the latter point by saying that
that question was already settled in the
negative in the minds of the people.
Without taking any final action on the
motion the House adjourned.

the Columbia IS. c. papers have re-
ports OF the freedmen S meeting held IN
that city on the 18th inst, at which
Wade Hampton and other prominent
South larolinians mades speeches
ten. Hampton spoke or the vast ito
p0ftAnee Of the present movement-not
emily f. tine e0lored, but to the white
man. lie advised the freedmen to give
their friends at the South a fair trial,
and if they were found wanting, it was
then time enough to go abroad for SYM
pathy. 1t was to their interest to build
up the South; for as the country pros
pored, so would they prosper. The
present state of affairs was not brought
about by the action of the Southern
people--White or black therefore neither
was responsible for it.
Beverly Nash (colored) replied to the
generally expressed statement of the
white speakers, that they were dis
franchised, by stating that the colored
people would present snch strong and
unanimous petition to Congress that at
terttOn would be paid to tin fact, the
colored men would not rest until the
whites had been enfranchised. He had

Rev. ID. Pickett, colored, stated that
he wanted it distinctly understood that
he Was no office-seeker. The good of
his people was his first consideration.
He was opposed to universal suffrage for
two reasons-the want of education and
q property qualification. The first was
readily attainable; and the last, by in
duStry and economy. WOuldSurely come.
Speaking of elections he said that the
question should not be whether candi-
date was black or white, but was he
honest?
The strictest order prevailed, which is
partially due to the excellent manage
ment of Chief Marshal William Simons,
and other influential members of the
various associations. Taken in all its
bearings, the. pleasant feeling engen-
,!ered by this gathering cannot be too
highly appreciated nor its Importance
ovef-astimated. Disfranchised whites
were invited to address enfranchised
blacks, aud the advice given was re-
ceiVad in the spirit in which it was eX-
tended, While the remarks of the color
ed speakers were Of such character as
to give general satisfaction.
IN the. evening Il torchlight procession
was formed, and calls We're made upon
Nhancel!or Carroll, w. X. Bachman,

delivered impromptu addresses, when
tl,n ceebrationists returned to their rem
dezvous, and were dismissed.

SEATS IN CARs.-An important prin-

William Walker, in consequence of a
collision on the Long Island Railroad.
The Court decided, among other points,
that ii is the duty of a conductor to fur
nish seats to all passengers. If he should
fail to do this, and travellers be compel
led tn stand, even though they stand on
the platform, and personal in ury result,
the railroad company cannot avail them

from liability by posting notices in the
cars against standing on the platforms.

circumstances, and his executors re-
