Interesting Incident.

A gentleman who was on his way Sunday
evening last to visit the grave of younger
brother who died in the Confederate ser.
vice, discovered just as he reached the gate
of the cemetery three former servants OF
the family approaching the grave with flow
ers and e7ergreens in their hands. Keep.
ing out of their view, he watched them
until they reached the grave, when one of
them climbed over the iron railing, took
the flowers and evergreens from his COM
panion and laid them tenderly on the
grave of his former young master.

NEGRO Preachers.

The Philadelphia Press, one of Forney'
papers, "both daily is in favor of using
the negro preachers as political missiona-
ries. 1t says:
SIN weighing the chances as to whether the col.
ored vote of the South will be soldly and intelli-
gently cast for the of freedom, there is one
important agency that has been almost overlook
ed-the influence of the colored preachers of the
South. The negro is confessedly religious be-
ing. His religion st present, owing to centuries
of oppression and darkness, is little intellectual
but powerfully emotional and sensuous. 1t sweeps
and surges through his whole nature, and utterly
controls it."
Here the black man is told that his reli-
gious enthusiasm is to be used in the inter-
ests of party-that his religion does not
spring from intelligent conviction, but from
ignorant excitement, which the sharp dem
agogue, in the name of religion, must turn
to good account. Negro ministers, carry
ing the Radical platform concealed among
the leaves of the Holy Bible, are to convert
the house of God into "loyal league
room, the sacramental altar into secreta-
RVS table, and thereligious devotee into
political convert. AT the expense of all the
best qualities of the colored race is the
black man to be moulded into an instru-
ment for the benefit of the Radicals. His
present welfare is to be sacrificed, and his
future well-being destroyed. Let our black
people beware of preachers who interest
themselves in politics. They have grown
up under the ministrations Of diYines

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Case Of Mr. DaViS-Arms for Montana
Mayor Nionroe's Visit to the President
Impeac hmcut Testimony.

The Case Of Mr. Davis-Arms for Montana
Mayor Nionroe's visit to the President
Impeachment Testimony.
WASHINGTON, May 5-The friends of Mr.
Jefferson Davis have sent in request that
he formally petition the President for par
don. United States District Attorney Chan
dler tonight filed a written request with the
President for an order on the commandment
of Fortress Monroe to deliver Jefferson
Davis to the United States Marshal in case
process shall be issued to bring the pris
oner before the United States Circuit Court
of Judge Underwood. Orders will proba-
bly, be issued in accordance with that re-
quest tomorrow. The impression prevails
that when Mr.. Davis gets into the custody
of the United States Marshal, and under
jurisdiction Of the court. the President
ceases to have control over the prisoner.
This is a mistake. The President can par
don, either before on after the trial of the
accused, and his authority to release pris-
oners is not affected by the question rs to
whose custody he may be in.
A telegram from General Sherman, at St.
Louis, received to-day, says Governor
Green Clay Smith is in that city, and starts
for Montona tomorrow. Arms have been
sent to that Territory, and it is understood
with these arms the people Of the Territory
will protect themselves. General Augur
will soon be among the Indians, who have
occasioned the alarm to Acting Governor
Meagher. The arms are not to be used
unless General Sherman shall sanction the
call upon actual necessity.
Paragraphs telegraphed from this city an
nounce that ex-Mayor Monroe, of New Or
leans, called OH the President on Thursday
last and had a confidential talk about Gen
eral Sheridans conduct, and this was pub
lished in the Friday morning papers. The
fact is, Mr.. Monroe did not call until u
hours after the announcement was made,
and then he was conducted to the White
House and introduced to the President by
Mr.. r. King Cutler, q Southern Radical
who was present at the interview, which
lasted about two minutes, during which no
allusion was made to political Subjects
The call was made by Mr.. Monroe simply
to pay his respects, as he was passing
through the city Ell route to New York.
Mr.. Ashley, Of Ohio, the 'impeacher, -
made visit to the periurer Conover, in
Jail, at ten o'clock Friday night, to get
from him testimony to be used before the
judiciary committee on impeachment.

pompous ignorance.
That some, probably most, of the colored
people will follow these unsafe leaders al
first, is fact which cCmmends itself more
to our sympathy than censure. There has
been no proper or united action either TIC
disabuse their minds, of the fascinating
falsehOods of these leaders, or to show ou1
honest Intentions towards them. Many
are made to believe that the prejudices
which their emancipation had caused In
the minds Of their former owners had only
been increased by Their reimbursement,
when our people really feel rs kindly to-
wards the blacks as ever, aud, in fact, the
sympathy which has ever characterized ou1
relations with them is more active now than
ever, because their increased \privileges,
without corresponding increase of intel
hgAnce have made them the objects of prey
by the greedy harpies who flock about them.
These sympathies must and will be offered,
although in many instances they will not
be appreciated the only hands which can
lead them onward and upward in the road
of moral and intellectual Improvement
must not be withdrawn, though many may
refuse to accept the prohered aid; but the
time will come when the advice of the
Southern people will be Needed and their
assistance desired by the whole race as it
is now by the most honest, intelligent and
Industrious portion.
Even if this kindness and sympathy had
no existence, their people must soon learn
that the mere question of interest ana poll
cy would make the Southern white the best
and most reliable friend of the Southern
black Destined to live, together, their in
terests, as we'll as their advancement, must
go hand in hand. The education, moral
and social refinement, increased industry
and intelligence of the latter, will add to
the prosperity of the former and if the
present laborer can by his industry, moral
AID social advancement and good conduct
as a citizen supply the place Of the northern
and foreign settler, the colored race is
destined to occupy position in the South
ern ,j'ltes above that of any lnboring pop
ui:<tion Of which his DRY gives an account.
Let, to the sympathy, the kindness, nay,
the affection, which has grown up between
the ces'luring former relations, be added
industry, sobriety, honesty and intelligence
of the laborer, and the colored people will
retain the confidence and respect, rs they
will deserve and receive the support and
protection of the substantial men of the
country With such friends and with this
protection, their prosperity will falsify the
prediction of their rapid decline without
this aid and sympathy, the alarming facts
and figures of their decrease during the
past few years will be the sequel of their
early fate.

The Radicals and the coIored Rsoe.

The Radicals and the CoIored Roce.
1t would seem that the Radicals, fearing
| for their continued success in some of the
Northern States, are determined to radical
ize the South. It was for this purpose that
| the blacks were armed with the ballot. Mr..
Wilson himself acknowledged in his speech
that his party was not favorable to the in
| reference of slavery in the States, and he
had so declared from his seat in the Sen
ate. The party went further and frequent
ly declared their opposition to negro suf-
frage. Mr.. Lincoln stated in a speech de-
ivered at Charleston, Illinois, in 1858, his
opposition to this measure, in the following
emphatic words
CT will say that am net, nor ne yer have been,
| in favor of making voters jurors of negroes,
nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to inter
marry with white people ; and will say, in addi-
ton to this there Is physical difference between
| the white and black races which, believe, will
/ forever forbid the two races living together on
| terms of social and political equality. l,
as much as any other man, am III favor OF having
the superior position assigned to the White race.
That the opinions of Mr.. Lincoln are the
true sentiments of the party now, Is evil
denced from the fact that in States where
the Radicals have entire control of the gov
eminent, these views are carried out. Here
only is the love for the black man de-
yotedly shown, and interest is at the bot
| tom of this To use these people as instrli-
ments for their own advancement, and to
enable them to continue in power is the
motive of their zeal for Southern blacks
When they find out the colored people of
these States prefer to use their power for
the benefit Of their own section and peo-
pie, and in doing SO, to add to their own
prosperity, than 30 be the tools of ambitious
demagogues, their love will cool very sud
denly, and the people of the South, white
and black, will look to each other for n,u-
taal support, and unite to protect common
interests and common sympathiee.
