notwithstanding the denial Of Bard. the Southern
editor, of the conversation Published having
taken place between him and Gen. Grant, there
two or three persons who are willing 10 mako Aida
Wit that Bard did say to them in relation 10 his inter
view with Gen. Grant on the Presidency, subssan-
tally what was published in THE TRIBUNE. Tho
thing amounts to nothing and only had the effect Of
soaring Bard and worrying some of the timid adj
Inlrers of Grant Presidential candidate. ss

be rejected thus making more vacancies. lfs

The Second Annual Convention of the Young
Mems Christian Associations of Maryland and tho
| District of Columbia, convened here to-day. Among
the delegates three of this city, representing
the ColOred Young Mems Assocatonof Washington
One of these bya vote TO- added to thelst
of Vice Presidents This created much dssatisfac-
ton the part of of the white delegates from
Maryland who earnestly protested against the act of
the majority They wished to secede, being opposed
to whites and blacks mingling in the same body.
The coored Vice-Presidcnt regretted that the pres
| ence of delegates of an association founded
Christian purposes, should produce discord Several
white delegates, looking at the matter in Christian
light said there could be no real for serious
| dissatisfaction One of the directors declared
that he had been Confederate officer, and could
with sincerity extend the right hand of fellowship TO
the cooTed and to prove the truth of the utter
ance, he stepped forward and earnestly shook tho
colOred Vice-Presldent by the hand. Notwithstand-
ing this he could not conceive the proprety of MAX
| ing a special provision whereby cOlOred person
should be made Vice President. Other directors
declared similar views adding that they friends
of the cOored man. The discussion earnest on
all sides when q white delegate for the sake of har
| mony, offered resolution requesting the colored
| Vice President to withdraw from that office. The
Convention by two majority refused to lay the reso-
utionI on the table, and by majority OF six asore-
fused to suspend the rules in order to allow vote
the resolution.
The Government has determined upon recognizing
Rajah J. ". TOrrey as Supreme and Sovereign Ruler
of Northern BorneO. His Excellency will be pre-
scented officially to the President tomorrow. Tho
Rajah is American born and the precedent for this
case is the recognition of Sir James Brooke as Raah
of Sarawak by the English Government.
Some of the newspapers have published an alleged
correspondence between Earl Russell and his son
Lord Amberley, copied from The NoHiRaaam Eng)
Journal. Lord Amberley is represented rs writing
to his father from Washington, Sept. H. narrating
the result of two interviews with President john
son The truth is the President has never seen the
scion of nobility, is it known that Lord Amber
ley has yet visited Washington. Apart from the IN
truths in the assumed correspondence, there is good
authority for pronouncing il hoax, il having been
produced by The Nottingham Journal as mere bur
| leSque on British politics.
The Conservative Army and Navy Union of Wash
ington, has issued an address TO all honorably dis
