FROM NEW YORK.
A Mixed Meeting.

New YORK, March I9.-The Tribune's
Columbia, S. c., last evenings special says |:
One of the most remarkable meetings ever
held in South Carolina took place to-day,
the occasion being a celebration by the
negroes of the passage of the bill enfran-
chising the black race. By invitation,
General Wade Hampton, EX-U. S. Sen
ator De Sausseur, Edward Arthur, the Hon.
Il w. j. Ta1lery, and Joseph G.. Gibbs, ad-
dressed the meeting; also the Rev. David
Picket and Beverly Nash, both colored.
Sentiments were expressed highly honor
able to both sides. The negroes are graft
fled with the spirit of political affiliation
with which they have been met, and Cit
liens are equally pleased to find the col
ored men identified with the true
interests of the State. Should convention
be called, the latter will probably nominate
and support the best men in the country,
and, as declared by Mr.. Nash, will urge
Congress to repeal the DISTINGUISHING
clause, which deprives them of the services
of those in whom they have the greatest
confidence. ..lEI = es al

The recent enthusiasm among the Feni-

apathy for the last few days, but on the re-
ceipt of the news from Ireland yesterday
of an interruption in the wires connecting
with the cable, hope was revived among
them, and their belief in a general uprising
on st. Patrick's day was sanguine.
The Peabody Fund.
The trustees of the Peabody Fund for the
education of children in the South will
probably hold meeting in this city DUR

body will be present to give his views con-
cerning the distribution of the fund. -r..-
