A NEGRO RIOT THREATENED AT ALEX
ANDR1A.-Just previous to the starting of
the train from this city for Washington
two colored %men-John Seaton, of this
city, and - Piper, of Washington, who
said he was a brother of the who
was put out of the ladies' car on the same
road last Saturday-entered the middle
car of the train and took seats. Policeman
Robert Meade, stationed at the depot, i'm
mediately went to them, and told them
that q car for the accommodation of color
ed people exactly like the one they were
in was attached to the train, and that they
must 60 into it if they wanted to 60 to
Washington. They both replied that they
were very comfortably seated where they
we're, and that if they went out of that
car they would have to be put out. They
were accordingly elected. A large crowd
had collected in the neighborhood by this
time-many of whom were colored people
who had accompanied the elected party
to the dep6t-and the quarrelling and
muttering that ensued, and the threatening
of one white man to shoot a colored man
who had rudely accosted him, occasioned
of a serious disturbance, when, hap
pily, the locomotives whistle blew, Piper
Jumped into the colored car, the train
moved off, and the crowd slowly dis
persed.-Alerandria Gazette.

Grants MortifyinS POsitfon-A Re-
rcu, Interview with Grant-Re Conn
plains OF the Trickery of the Radi-
cnis-Sherlman's Advice to the Pre-.
sident-Tha impeachment Commit
I~cc-.tiabama TO be Reconstructed
in spite Of herself.
WASHINGTON, February ll.-An ex-
member OF Congress from Illinois, who
is now here, and who has been a friend
and companion of Grants from boy
h02d, had q lcng interview with the Gene
Il! a few evenings since, and learned from
him that re blames bis pretended political
friends for all his embarrasSments.
Re said that he had endeavored to keep
JGi Of their meShes, but that they had en-
trapped him before be knew it, and had
involved him in his present difficulties. IF,
said the General, | can only manage to get
out of this scrape, Ipromise they don't catch
me again. During the recital Of the man.
ncr III which be had been over-reached by
politicians, the General exhibited a deep
feeling, and left the impression on the
mind Of his friend that he would wipe his
L-huS OF taQlcdilSu.
As General Sherman's name has been
brought into the controversy between the
President and General Grant, it may not
be aGniss to state that the President is in
receipt of O letter from General Sherman
which is understood to have this paragraph
il il:
ali Stanton won't resign, and there is
no other way of getting rid Of him, ulterior
measures should be resorted to-"
TuiS letter, together with one other of a
very important character, may reach the
public eye if this unfortunate controversy
Is pressed any further.
The Radical leaders in the impeachment
programme express their regrets that the
President used the word unless" in his
written order to Grant to disobey Stanton.
They charge that Mr.. Johnson fused the
word with q view of lodging the response
blhty which would have attached TO an
unconditional order to disobey, and that
had the order been unconditional they
would have reported articles of impeach-
lAent at once. They still believe, however,
'ley can make out a case of impeachment
With the assistance Of the Ashley -Conover
testimony taken before the Judiciary Com
allltee.
: a new move In the revolutionary plot
Las been determined on, which embraces
'le admission Of Alabama and the recog-
-I'Lon of her representatives to Congress,
'v~gaEdless Of the vote being taken on the
aleptIon Of the Constitution. The Radi-
'As now argue that the very large vote
'"'t Tor the Constitution will justify a
:rpeaI Of SO much of the reconstruction
;"S as requires a majority of the regis
'ied vote to be cast. This will be done,
sd the Constitution as formed will be
scosnizcd, and Alabama will be repre-
*D'ed IL Congress in a few weeks. This
IS slbeen arranged with certain south

Trial OF Rev. MIR. Type.

New YORK, February 10, l86s.-A bomb
shell-so to s~peak-was thrown into the
ecclesiastical court, convened by Bishop
Potter, at St. Peters church, this morning,
to try Rev. Stephen H. Tying, Jr., for o
breach of the canons of the Episcopal
Church, in the shape of a letter from Jay
Cooke, Esq, of Philadelphia, Of which the
following is the substance;
"Rev. DR.. Lee,-I send by mail to your
address. o portion of q sermon recently
preached by Rev. Richard Newton, D. D.,
and l pray you to read this carefully and
prayerfully. You are now engaged in try
ing the Rev. S. q. Tying for an alleged
breach Of canonical law, when, at the same
time, if I understand it, Bishop Potter does
not hesitate to enter the Church of St.
Adams, recognizing the Romish practice
enacted there by confirming a class. A
large number of the laity are in full SYM
patty with the course ofthe Rev. Mr.. Tying,
and I am under the impression that upon
an intelligent understanding of the case
three-fourths of the laity would be IN his
SIDE"
The letter concludes with the express
sion Of the hope that no decision should be
arrived at in the case as would "result in
still further difference in our loved
Church."
Rev. DR.. Beach, the presiding clergy
man, said all such communications were
out of order, and deprecated all attempts
of this kind to make "outside" capital.
He was also very severe Of Mr.. Cooke for
writing the letter.
The proceedings, agreeably to general
consent, were held with open doors. The
hail was thropged, and among the specta-
tors were many distinguished clergymen,
not only of the Episcopal Church, but of
other denominations, with here and there
q few ladies'. The trial is looked upon by
the general public as a fair aud square
contest between the high and low church
men, and is likely to determine which
shall in future have control in this diocese
and New Jersey. The best legal talent is
employed on both sides.-NeW York. let

NEW YORK ROLLS IN WEALTH.--Pike
the millionaire, who is al extensive dis
tiller and protector of opera-houses, is said
to have offered a million and a half in gold
for the property running from the Eighth
to Ninth avenue on T%wenty-third street,
the sellers having the privilege of remov-
ing the dwellings TO- occupying the site,
which he wants for a mammoth hotel.
It has come to be a saying, illustrative
of the restlessness of New York, that the
lower part of the city is torn down and re-
built every fifteen years. The newest
project for repeating the process is to ex-
tend the Fifth avenue through Laurens
street, so as to connect with West Broad
way, the latter, in turn, to be run straight
through six or eight blocks of fine ware
houses to the Battery. The job will cost
millions and millions of dollars.

President and four members of his Cabinet
after the formal meeting of the Cabinet

the Radical majority Of the sub-commit-
tee Of the respective veracity of the Pre-
sident and his Cabinet on the one side, and
Of General Grant on the other. So far as
the proposed impeachment Of the Presi.
dent is concerned, that, although devoutly
sought for by both Mr. Boutwell, and Mr.,
Bingham, does not at present seem to be Of
as much immediate importance as the i'm.
