BEN. WADE's POLICY. cores
pondent of the Boston Post reports
conversation he has just held in
Washington. It says:
A few evenings since ne was ap.
preached by a prominent radical
Congressman, who said: "I regret to
see the Imminent danger which exists
of conflict between the whites and
blacks OF South Carolina, and hope
that some measure will be adopted to
prevent it."
Wade-"That can easily be done.
We must keep sufficient troops there,
sir; troops will prevent it,"
eff these Southern rebels won't
behave themselves, they must be
made to pay the expenses of keeping
the peace within their borders. Such,
sir, will be our policy"

The persecution of the Jews in
Roumania, which has been going on
for several months, belongs among
the most disgraceful exhibitions OF
religious intolerance in modern times.
Owing to the earnest remonstrances
OF most of the great powers Of Eu-
rope, the Government of Roumania
now processes to have put a stop to
it. Unfortunately, there is great
reason for doubling the sincerity of
the professions of the Roumanian
Government, and for fearing repe-
tion of the outrages, which, with the
eonnivance of the Government, have
been committed against the Jews.

Douaecrasio News.

Pleasant Goode and William Sto-
wers, good Democratic colored men,
report to M that 6 number Of colored
people joined their ranks at, Doko,
and eighteen Joined at Rdgeway.%,
James Minor, another good Demo
crat, reports that in the Dutch Fork,
fifty-two whites and seven colored
men joined the Democratic club
formed there.
A CARD.-We, the undersigned,
Democratic colored men, who visited
Winnsboro, at the invitation Of both
white and colored friends, to tell what
we hold to be true, to our colored
fellow-citizens, want to expose the
conduct towards us of the sexton and
preacher of the colored church. (
In the evening, we went to attend
church, in order to hear the word of
God preached, but it seems that the
church ;'.s ".s open only 10 radical men.
For when we were about to step in,
the sexton, Thomas Logan, stopped
US and told us that we were not want
ed there, as we were Democrats. We
told him, that We thought the house
OF God was open to all men of all
creeds of politics, but as we did not
wish to make any disturbance, we
would leave. Accordingly, we turned
away. We afterwards were intro
duced to the preacher, whose name
is Philip Roland. We then inquired
of him ii he had told the sexton to
keep us out, and he would not say
yes or no. We then asked him if he
was nm ordained minister. He said
yes-but would not tell MS by whom.
We then told him. he was a wolf in
sleeps clothing, and beneath our
notice.
Pleasant Goode also desires to state,
that he did not say, as he was repre-
sented, that a colored man had not
good blood; but he said, that if a
white man was struck down and his
blood began to flow, he would be
taken up, and the sympathy for him
by his fellows would lead them to
pick him up. Whilst, if oolored
man was to fall down bleeding, there
he would lay, without any one going
to his rescue. He means to say, that
whilst he wants the right of his color
respected and established, he don't
think it we'll for the colored men to
try to domineer over the whites, as
they would not stand it. He wanted
peace and goodwill among men,
white and black. He was looking
to the interests of his race, and he
was true friend to them.
PLEASANT GOODE,
VIM. SHOWERS.

An italian inn-keeper confessed to
priest, who asked him if he ever
creased the teeth of his guests horses
to prevent them from eating. He re-
piled that he had never done 80.
The next time he confessed that he
committed the act several times.
"Why," said the priest, "you told
me last time, that you had never done
it," "Holy Father" replied the inn
keeper, 81 did not know the trick
then"

Treatment or Colored Preachers n
Chicago.

Chicago.
It seems, that recently there was q
General Conference of the Methodist
Church at Chicago. We make the
following extract from the Baltimore
Episcopal Methodist, of May 16.
1T will be seen, as usual, how the
apractice of our Northern brethren
varies from their theories-how they
sdeal with the colored man when he
presents himself in the aspect of a
practical question. They "make the
word of promise to the ear" but
'"break it to the hope:"
'tThe General Conference had O.
lively time about receiving delegates
from the. Southern Mission Confer
Nence, among whom are some negro az.
The resolution to receive, however.
was carried. We are sorry to say
that our black friends, notwithstand-
ing our timely efforts in their behalf,
meet with poor hospitality in Chi
'cago. Only two applied for homes,
but the Committee had not been able
10 secure one. An appeal was made
an open Conference to the multitude
<0f brethren who have been preaching
and writing and execrating about the
q. deadly sin of caste, and color blind
rness, etc. DIR. Curry had no room in
his bed, though we personally applied
to him, in New York, to keep a place
for black brother. DR.. Haven was
saumb, and opened not his mouth; he
had no room in his bed for brother
guilty of q skin darker than his own; !;
and hair different also. At last, DIR.
Hatfield. who has been too warm an
advocate for indistinot visions of ne
gro personalities to back down-Dr.
Hatfield, for his sins, happening to
have house just now in Chicago
was compelled to take up the cross.
He did it in good style, shaming the
:recreants, and then and there vel
aoomed the two homeless brethren to
%Ais bed and board. The Conference
was greatly relieved and felt very
proud of DIR. Hatfield, as a carrier
does Of a spirited ass, that carries the
zoad the master could not bear. But,
alasl DR.. Hatfield had spoken unad-
yvisedly with his lips. That evening
me was violently attacked with the
Haven intermittent. Color-phobia
took possession of him-under what
gentle admonition of domestic guar
dianship, we know not. When he
appeared in Conference next day,
which he did early, he is said to have
looked particularly wretched, like q
man who has been tormented all
night with two spectral black men,
eating with his spoons, or snoring in
his best bed. AS soon as possible,
DIR. Hatfield asked the Conference to
lay these ghosts; he said he could not
take these negro brethren; it was in
convenient-indeed, it was-very de-
cidedly-could not do it. So brother
Hatfield didn't, and the poor negroes
were sent to cheap negro boarding
house; which we judge to be good
deal worse than the penitentiary!"

This vegetable is highly priced by

AN INTERESTING STORY PROMISED.
Mr.. T. Witherspoon Erwin, who
is well known to most of our readers
as an author of promise, is about to
commence the publication of q new
story in the Yorkville Enquirer, enti-
tied: ''Isoletto, the Female Spy"
1t will be based upon facts in connec-
ton with the late war, and will give
interesting details of the system of
espionage exercised upon the move
ments OF the Confederatesin in Charles
ton, and the manner in which in
formation was conveyed to the Fede-
rails by persons in "high life" in this
city. From the character of the
work. and the reputation of Mr.. Err
win, ge can safely infer that "Iso-
let;o" will be greedily sought for, and
therefore advise our readers to send
up their subscriptions to friend Grist
at once.

A CAMPAIGN PAPER. proprie-
tor of the Ph9nir has received seve-
raj communications from prominent
and influential gentlemen of the up
country, asking that he publish, for
the benefit of the conservative peo-
pie Of the State-black and white
alike-a cheap campaign paper, de-
voted especially to political informa-
tion and suggestions and truths, to
the end that the cause of the Demo-
cratic party be strengthened, and
that whites and blacks alike may
realize that the peace and prosperity
of the State depend upon the adop-
ton of the conservative principles
set forth in the platform of the De-
liooTsaio party OF tnis State. he has
conferred with the State Central
Executive Committee of the party
here, and they advise that, inasmuch
as the Ph,enir is already carrying out
the views which our friends of the
upper country desire enforced, the
Weekly Cleaner, issued from this
Office, and containing the matter of
our daily issues, be directed to the
campaign purposes alluded to. He
proposes, therefore, to devote one
half of the Cleaner to political mat
ters, and to make it, par excellence, a
paper for the political use and pur-
poses of the conservative movement
in this State. The Weekly Cleaner,
for the next six months, will, there
fore, be furnished at the following
rates:
To single subscribers. 81 SO
clubs of 25 ....... 25
" q" $50 ....... / 90
The proprietor may add, that tile
Ph9nir will continue to do the best
it can for its patrons. and as its pros
poets improve. will elements of new
interest be added to the paper.
