1 interview on Saturday il was understood that We
we're TO have another conference on Monday before
the final action of the Senate tho case of Mr. STAN
ton. You replied that sGeh the UNDERSTANDING.
but that you did not tuppose the Senate would Ast
on the matter soon as Monday You had been
engaged in conference with General Sherman, and
also occupied with other matters. You asked If
General Sherman had not called or me on that dap.
"Whst relevancy General Sherman's visit to me
on Monday had with the purpose for which you were
to have called, am at loss 20 perceive as he GER
talnly did not inform me whether you had deter
mined 70 retain the Office or TO afford me an oppor-
tunity 10 20 appoint d successor in advance Of anv
attempted reinstatement of Mr.. Stanton.
''This account of what passed between Us at tins
Cabinet meeting on the 18th instant, widely differs
from that contained in your communication. for il
shows that instead of having stated our converss-
tion, given in that letter which has made this
ply necessary you admitted that my recital Of them
was entirely accurate
Sincerely anxious, however, TO be correct in nv
statements, | have to-day read this narration OF
what occurred on the llth ult, 20 the members OF
the Cabinet who we're then present. They, without
exception, agree IN its accuracy that on Wednesday
morning, the 18th inst, you called on me IN comps-
ny with Lieut. General Sherman After some pre-
iminary conversation, you remarked that an article
in the National EsteItigencer of that date did you
much injustice. replied that had not read the
i'rtst!t9sHesr Of that morning You first told me
that It was your intention TO urge Mr.. Stanton 10
resign bis Office. After you had Withdrawn I care
fully read the article of which you spoke and found
its statements of the understanding between us was
correct. On The nth caused il to be
read TO four or five members Of the Cabinet who
were present at our conference on the I4th, and
they concured in the general accuracy ofthe state
men6 respectong our conversation on that occs-
sion,
"In reply TO your comnuni cation, 1 have deemed
it proper 10 prevent further Misunderstanding, 10
make this simple recital Of facts.
Every respectfully, yours,

A CHINESE GoD-FACToRY.-The Rev Mr..
Allen, Methodist missionary Of the South
ern Church, in a recent letter describes a
visit to a mandatory of this kind at WI
Sih, 2 large, walled, inland city Of China.
Hero, also, observed numerous god
tories and their Jealous devOtces shaping
out OF shapeless clay their forms so terrible.
Thousands were already made and set up
TO dry Others were being polished, painted
or gilt, and prepared for market Others,
again were being manufactured ior toys
and dolls - the primers of idOlatry, by
which the infant mind becomes familiar
with its supcrstitions and terrors and is
trained by Its guardians, not in the nur-
ture and admonition of the Lord, but in
the way of death and darkness, with a zeal
and efficiency which should make many 4
Christian mother blush appeared curious
and OF expressing astorishment at the un-
daunted familiarity with which they treated
the gods and goddesses Of war, wealth,
thunder, fire, water, mercy, revenge, they,
with the utmost sang freid, replied that
they were yet powerless, being destitute Of
the Ling, or esprit Those designed for
toys. therefore, are never endowed with
that living principle, nor arc the others un-
I'll the lime Of their installmcnt rs a reign
ing divinity At that time, however, they
arc possessed Of the Ling by means Of n
small hole in the centre Of the back. if the
idol be diminutive or a large oblong one,
in the more august, in which there arc dc
posted pearls, gems, or some of the more
precious metals, such as gold and silver OF
various cstinlations. The hole is Thea,
closed and scaled, the god perfected, and
henceforth worshiped as well by his makers
as those more ignorant Of his origin. This
fact viii also assist US TO account, at least
in part. for the iconoelastie fury of the re-
bells. They were to despoil and destroy
them. not so much because they loved the
! idon less. but because they loved the gold
his back contained the more.
