When the colcred delegates from Wash
ington CITY and from Delaware demanded
to lie admitted to seats in the quadrcnnial
Confercncc at Chicago, and to share
in the deliberations Of that body, the
audacity of the proposal seems to have
struck many of tho white clericals with
surprise. On the spur Of the moment
somo of the members Of the Confer
cncc were disposed to admit the black
brethren. Others, however, were deter
mined they should not be recognized.
For two whole days the debate on this
subject was pressed. and at last it was
left to tho nine Bishops to decide what
ought to be dono in case where no less
than two hundred and fifty white minis
ters had agreed to disagree. So far as
the great body of the Conference is con-
cerned, the question of negro equality
has been for the present evaded.
There still remained one other trouble
somc point. 1t was by no means difficult
in hospitabo city like Chicago to as
sign the white ministers to comfortable
quarters but the difficulty was to dis
pose of the two colored delegates, unas-
signed, but who could not be turned off
without food or lodging. Nobody seem
ed willing to take them, and it must be
confessed it was n piece of downright
impcrtincnce in these brethren to thrust
themselves not only where they were not
wanted, but where they disturbed the
ccnsciences of two hundred and fifty
white ministers, Of whom it was intended
the Conference should bo exclusively COM
posed.
In this dilemma, certain Brother
Hatfield, with spirit worthy of an an
cient martyr, rose and said, "tho colorod
brethren would be very welcome to the
hospitality of his bed and board during
the session of the Conference" This he.
roic act Of selfabnegation was greeted
with immense applause, and the perplex,
ing affair seemed finally to have settled
itself very pleasantly. But Brother Hat
field is q married man, and thcre are such
things as "curtain lectures" Now mark
the sequel. "On the following morning."
says the Chicago Times, "Brother Hat
field put in an early appearance. His
countenance wore look Of discompo-
sure; and he looked very much like man
who had not slept well. Getting the
floor, he proceeded to state that, upon
reflection, ho had decided that it would
not be convenient for him to entertain
the colored brothers, and therefore nc
begged permission to withdraw his proffer
of tho day before" 1t was painful
matter, he said. to dwell upon: but the
fact was that it wasn't exactly conven-
ient at last accounts, tho two colored
brothers had been assigned to q cheap
colored boarding house, on Fourth ave,
nue., and peace, like dove, had lighted
upon the walls of the block.-Baltlnlore

way to accomplish the matter. Appoint

leh at some public place, with amount
aud name Of donor. Establish soup
house at some central point, and so ar
range that all who apply may receive one
quart Of good soup and Eve cent loaf
OF bread per day, or that those families
who send for may receive soup and bread
according to their numbers. Five hun
bred persons per day would amount TO
fifty dollars per day and surely there are
Eve hundred Of us favored ones who
would gladly giveten cents each for sixty
days-say until the LIST Of April, It
needed-for so benevolent a purpose.
would also suggest that the committee
publish daily reports Of its receipts and
expenditures, with the number Of the

IS Jefferson county, Arkansas, a great
mass meeting of the Democratic party
was held on the 2sth ult. The Pine
Bluff Dispatch says Of it:J
The enthusiasm manifested was really
astonishing. Old Democrats and old
Wings, secessionists and Union men,
Northern and Southern men, coming to-
cether thus in strong political reunion
is strikingly significant. 1t is so all
over the State-all over the South we
might say. "Dinna We hear the slo-
gan 2" 1t is the grand response OF the
people to the manly appeals Of Presi-
dent johnson. IL is the protest Of the
masses against Radicalism. 1t is the
earnest uplifting of the popular voice
against hybrid government and fanau-
cal decisions. 1t is the beginning Of
great effort TO conserve our republican
government and to restore unity, fra
ternity and loyal devotion to the Con-
stitution and the laws.
And with reference to the union and
commingling into one of men of various
shades of opinion it says, truly:
The old banner of Democracy waves
above them, but many of the great old
principles of the grand old Wing party
are written on its folds, and all who are
loyal to the Constitution can rally around
il and bear it on to victory. And i will
be done, when men like Capt. Nash,
Hon. A. A. c. Rogers, Col. Grace, R. W.
johnson and others, representing every
shade Of opinion, and all the old parties,
meet in enthusiastic communion. the
hope springs exultant in the breast OF
every true lover Of his cou ntry that the
new movement will be irresistible.

To His Bxcellency, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States:
Sir: / have the honor, very respect
fully, to request, in writing, the order
which the President gave me, verbally,
on Sunday, the 10Th inst, to disregard

AS requested in this communication,
General Grant is instructed in writing
not to obey any orders from the War
Department, assumed to be issued by
the President, unless such orders are
known to the General commanding the
armies of the United States to have been
authorized by the Executive.

to the interview wherein the course which
should be pursued in case of Stanton's
reinstatement. was fully discussed. The
interview terminated with the full under
standing that if, upon reflection, Grant
should prefer to become a party to the
controversy, or conclude that it would be
his duty to surrender the office to Stan
ton, he would return the Office to the
President prior to the action of the Sen.
ate in order that he might designate a
successor. Had not this understanding
been reached, it was the purpose OF the
President to relieve him and appoint
some other one in that capacity. The
Presidents letter is very long, and
throughout shows that Grant acted con-
trary to his reported pledges.

The Kentucky Contested Election.

In Kentucky Hon. j. Young Brown
was elected 10 Congress from the second
congressional district by an undeniable
majority of the legal votes Of the people.
A competitor, who had received the mi
nority radical vote, nevertheless pro-
ceeded to contest his seat, but without
developing single reason why Mr..
Brown should be rejected. Brown was q
democrat and therefore rebel of course,
and Congress not meaning to admit
democrats,when it can be avoided, has
now notified the Governor of Kentucky
that the seat is vacant The result of
another election will be reelection of
Brown by an overwhelming vote. The
question whether Congress or Kentucky
shall choose the Kentucky representa-.
tive is the only one really at issue. And
Mr.. Brown may therefore be expected to
have no democratic opponent. He will
doubtless have radical opponent And
we shall see whether Congress will again
reject the choice of Kentucky on the
ground of its virtual declaration that
Brown cannot be a representative for
want of views conforming to those of the
congressional tyrant majority; and
whether the minority jacobin candidate
will be admitted on the ground that he
has thus constructively been elected with
out opposition. If there ever was any
reason in the rnle that Congress should
judge of the qualifications of its own
members, its meaning was confined to a
Judgment of the legal qualifications
alone. To extend it to such qualifica-
ton as requires conformity of opinion to
the will of majority is to deny to the
people independent aud true representa-

Grant and the Will of the People.
In his remonstrance against the re-
moval Of Stanton General Grant pro-
nounced that the will of the people is the
law of the land, which is perhaps the
greatest uttersnce he ever made. Well,
the Tribune Almanac is Radical au-
thority, and from its figures tbs Hartford
Times ascertains that the total vote in
the States in which elections were held
is: Democratic, l,576,5O7; Radical,
1,554,945. This gives a Democratic
majority of 81 ,562. To this an exchange
adds, as to these seventeen States, their
representation in Congress, which is in
the Senate I Democrats to &c Radicals,
and in the House 80 Democrats TO l04
Radicals. Thus the Democrats who
are in the majority in these
States are represented by less than
one-fourth in the Senate and House,
while the Radicals, over twenty thousand
votes in the minority, have the other
tbree-fourths. Yet this people-obeying
General obeys Congress as the repre-
sentative of the people, knowing as he
does, not only these facts, but also that
of the number truly elected by them, the
Democrats have not their full number,
many having been excluded for the ex-
press purpose Of securing the requisite
awo-thirds necessary to the schemes of
Congressional usurpation. What pro-
digious respect for :" the viii of the peo-
pie has this New York COoper's Insti
