CONVERSION OF THE JEws.-A few days
ago conference was held in Chicago to
consult upon missionary work among the
Jews of that city. The Advance, the new
religious paper in Chicago, says:
Several of the Jews of the city, seeing
the notice in the papers, attended, and Mr..
Henry Greenbaum, o well-known banker,
requested permission to say q few words,
and was gladly heard. He said his object
was to correct the idea that many seemed
to have that the Jews were an irreligious,
goddess class of the community. This was
great mistake. They numbered in Chi
cago about nine thousand, Of whom six
thousand were regularly enrolled as mem
bers Of the six congregations now organized
in the city, and were characterized by an
intelligent regard for their religion.
They were progressive in their ideas,
having organs and choirs and other GUS
tomary aids to worship, and using prayers
in English and German, to avoid mere lip
service, as the Hebrew prayers were not
generally understood. They had lately
built hospital, open to all, at cost OF
$50, 600, the money for which was raised in
two days, and they expended annually for
| religious purposes about 100000. He had
no reason to complain of their treatment by
others, and they, in turn, had the kindest
feelings toward their Christian brethren.
Indeed, he himself gave S25 recently to-
ward the furnishing of Mr.. Moody's house.
He held Jesus in high estimation, as he
did Moses and Washington, for the purity
of his life and teachings, though he did not
believe in his divinity. The Jews thought
that oil the righteous would be saved, whe-
Their Jews or Gentiles.
He had just returned from a trip to Eu-
rope, and thought the English Jews the most
ignorant and degraded of any, SO that it
was not surprising that conversions to
Christianity were reported among them.
1t would be found on inquiry that three
fourths of the pickpockets in New York
city are English Jews. Establish your
mission among Them" said Mr.. g., "and
make Christians of them, or even Mahom-
medans, and we will not complain but you
will waste your efforts in Chicago, at least
upon those who are trained in the know
| ledge of our faith, which we have now pre-
served amid all perils and temptations for
1000 years. A few converts, one way or
the other, prove nothing. can think now
of six proselytes from Christianity to Juda-
ism in this city, though we are slow to re-
ceive such. We shall treat Mr.. Schwartz
with courtesy, but his labors will be in
| vain"

The BURIED CITY, always had an
idea that you went down into Pompeii with
torches, by the way of damp, dark steps,
just as you do in silver mines, and traversed
gloomy tunnels with lava overhead, and
something on either hand like dilapidated
prisons, gouged out Of the solid earth,
that family resembled houses. But you do
nothing of the kind. Fully one-half of the
buried city, perhaps, is completely ex-
humed and thrown open freely to the light
of day and there stand the long rows OF
solidly-built brick houses (roohess), just as
they stood eighteen hundred years ago, hot
with the flaming sun and there lie their
floors, clean swept, and not bright frag-
ment furnished or wanting of the labored
mosaics that pictured them with the beasts,
and birds, and flowers which we copy in
perishable carpets to-day. There are the
Venuses and the Bacchuses and Adonises
in many-hued frescoes on the walls of saloon
and bed-chamber. There are the narrow
streets, deeply rutted with the chariot
wheels of the Pompeiians Of bygone centu-
ries and there are the bakers shops, the
temples, the halls of justice, the baths, the
theatres all clean-scraped and neat, and
suggesting nothing of the nature of silver
mine away down in the bowels of the earth.

Chief Justice Chase and the Presi-
dency-A Dispatch about his Views
In what he Differs with the De-
mOcrats.
WASHINGTON, June ga telegram from
Washington in the New York Herald, pur-
porting to originate with persons enjoying
intimate relations with Chief Justice Chase,
represents that he would only accept q
nomination for the Presidency when the
nation is in its utmost peril but not then
at the sacrifice of his honest convictions.
He admits that the Radical party and
himself differ widely, and as par
ties are now organized, he is with the
Democratic party, differing with it on only
one point-that of universal manhood sui
frage. He agrees with it on all other great
issues, and if elected by that party would
certainly carry out their policy. He thinks
that the condition of the southern States
demands proper congressional considera-
ton, and also material aid from the Gene
raj Government. There is no constitutional
authority for holding the southern States
in subsection, and it is alike unwise
and unjust. He fayors the enfranchise-
ment and removal of political disabilities
from every white man in the South. He
thinks freedom and manhood suffrage an
unquestioned right, but controverts the
power of any other than the States them
selves to confer that right, the General Go
vernment having no control over the mat
ter.
He opposes the political disabilities i'm
posed by thefourteenth article, and proposes
general amnesty as a relief. He regards
general amnesty as absolutely necessary,
and urges liberal aid to southern railroads
and navigable rivers. lie thinks the Gen
eral Government should build levees from
Cairo to the Gulf.
He urges an early return to specie pay
ment. He condemns in strong terms the
trial of citizens by military commissions
during peace.
He hopes if President Johnson re6rgan-
ICES his Cabinet he will appoint due pro-
portion from the southern States.
In reply to question, Judge Chase said
Congress had no power to abridge the par
doning power of the President.

MIKE MCCOoLE AND THE GOVERNOR OF
MIssoURI.-It appears that the spectators
of the late prize fght-says the st. Louis
RepubHcan-which didn't come off, had
some fun on their return home. On the
train from Seymour to Jacksonville, two
Louisville wags went out on the platform,
and one of them introduced the other, who
was as large man as Mike McCoole, when
there were loud cries for speech. The
wag drew himself up to his full length, and
made the following brief but impressive
speech to the crowd:
"Ladies and gentlemen,-I thank you
kindly for this manifestation Of esteem.
This is the proudest hour of my life, and I
only wish was capable of delivering such
n speech as the distinguished gentleman,
the Governor of Missouri, who has intro
duced me in such fattering terms. You
have, no doubt, ere this, received the start
ling intelligence of the terrible and fatal
termination of the fight between myself
and Joe Coburn. [Cries of No no! tell
us ali about it'll Well, it is sufficient for
me to tell you that in the eighty ninth
round found the pressure 80 great from
the New York friends of Coburn that was
compelled to deal the fatal blow in order to
secure victory. But, fellow-citizens, ]
stand ready "-[Here the whistle blew and
the train started, midst deafening cheers for
Mike McCoole.
This speech was delivered ut every sta
ton until the train arrived at Jefferson

General ScilOfieId Calls the Attention
Of Congress to the Troubles OF Test
Oath Qualification in Virginia.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Secretary OF
War, at the suggestion Of General Grant,
sent to the House to-day the letter from the
General commanding the First District,
dated May Is, 1868, regarding the effect
it would have to make vacant all the offices
held by persons incompetent under the
constitutional amendment. The number in
Virginia will be several thousand, and only
a small portion of these vacancies can
possibly be filled by persons possessing the
necessary qualifications, including the abil-
ity to take the oath. General Schofeld, in
this letter, adds: 81 have already ap-
pointed in Virginia nearly five hundred Of.
ficers, and would have appointed more If
qualified persons could be found" He con-
cludes from this that when the amendment
lis adopted a large number of Offices must
remain vacant until Congress gives some
relief.

General Butler, being suspected of
crimes, why should not his private CORE
spondence and journals and reports be
seized and all the salty portions thereof
published? Butler has magazine OF mis-
chief. He has all the evil secrets of public
men written down and filed away. He has
rare and rich collection of love-letters
written by prominent politicians to ladies
Of eouivocal fame. He has verbatim re-
ports of private conversations. He kept a
photographer behind q screen in his tent
when he commanded the Army OF the
James, and had every word of his distln-
gnished visitors written down. Among
them was President Lincoln. He has an
arsenal crammed with ammunition to make
