A dispatch from Washington says that Presi-
dent Grant has determined upon appointing suit
able colorcd men TO responsible Offices in Boston,
New York, Chicago, and other Northern cities,
to Offset the appointment of negroes in the South,
and prevent the appearance of a harsh and inyidi-
Gus treatment Of the South On this the Spring

make any fuss about such an appointment, pro-
vidcd the official has any OtfIer quuffdcduou tnan

son of the equality of the races before the law
needs to be enforced quite much in those cities
as at the South But the rule should be, every
where, to make no appointments because of color.
II black man is the best qualified for given

policy 10 put him into Office rather than white
men that are qualified. A deal of fault is found
with the President because he did not appoint

lrom fort and forest, flames rose from the
lonely farm-housos, and blood flowed. But
hy dawn the fight was over, and the Indians
skunk away, defeated.
John kilburn was mortally wounded, and
only reached the fort to die, trying vainy to
tell something which kept him from departing
In peace No one understood his broken
words, his imploring looks and feeble gestures
towards the hill.
They thought he tried to tell them that
Matty was carried Of by the Indians and
he died with his secret fear darkcniug his last
hour.
For many days no one vontured TO leave
the fort, fearing to be surprised by the In.
dians, so poor Mary's cries were unheard ;
and when at last the men vcntured TO return
10 their work, all was still under the oak, and
the rustling leaves could not tell them Of the
little pale face lying dead in the green gloom.
A long while after that last fight, boy,
hunting for lost arrow, climbed the tree,
discovered the hole, and saw something shin
ing far down in the dark
lie could not reach it, but told his father
he had found buried money.
The man went and discovered not only
gold and silver but little bones which none
could doubt had once been Maity Kilburns,
for the treasures that could not save her life
proved who She was. and contradicted the be-
lief that she had been carried away.
Many tears were shed over the remains Of
the once pretty, well-beoyed child, and they
were buried beside John Kilburn, whose dy-
ing trouble was now explained.
The old tree still stands, broken, bare and
solitary, but no one cuts it down, and chill
dren as they pass it, look up with sad eyes,

GRANT AND CHAsE.--Judge Chase, whose rela
tons with the Republican party are not suppose
to be very close or Of very ardent nature, recently
expressed his cordial appreciation of the line o.
policy adopted by President Grant He alluded
to the fact that the members OF the Cabinet wer,
men of unquestionable purity of character, ant
spoke warmly in praise Of the steps initiated by
President Grant TO reform abuses in the interna
revenue service, to promote an early adjustment
OF the Indian difficulties, and his efforts in belal
of the restoration of the Southern States. Tn,
Chief Justice remarked that if General Grant con
timed to act upon the high principles which haC
thus far apparently influenced him, it would
not be long before his administration would have
the cordial support ola vast majority of the peo
pie, without distinction of party.

VmGISA FREEDMEN. colored people Of
Virginia are becoming aroused to the fact that in
the reorganization of that State their claims and
rights as citizens are being entirely ignored
They have therefore, issued an address calling
on the colored people of the State to assemble in
Convention at Richmond, on the 9th of May
Their object is set forth in the following extract
from the address
" The total exclusion of colored citizens from
any position of trust or profit, and from the Jury
box, especially demands and ought to receive the
consideration of every colored man in the State
Whatever other subjects you may deem of suli-
cient Importance to bring before the Convention
this exclusion of the brethren is the a-absorbing
question of the present and must call forth earn
est efforts, by petition, by personal nction, by
protest, and by what votes we have, until justice
is done.
g The right secured of voting, irrespective of
color, will necessarily restore TO us the other
rights of which we are now deprived. We there
fore cordially and respectfully invite you, from
every part Of the State, to meet in Richmond, by
delegates on the day specified, to consult upon
the issues at present affecting us politically,
financially and socially. Justice to ourselves can
be no injustice TO any"

The Financial Chronicle Of New York at.rib-
utes the present depression Of business to the fall
in breadstuas. II says that collections at the
West are made slowly and with difficulty; for
with lower prices for his products the farmer finds
himself unexpectedly crippled in his capacity to
pay what he owes, or to maintain the scale Of ex-
penditurcs to which long period Of high prices
has accustomed him. The Western merchant
therefore, IL not in position to meet the claims
Of his Eastern creditors or to buy goods TO nm cx-
tent corresponding with their recent imporations.
With prices and demand both reduced some
branches Of trade and Manufacture are carried on
at loss and rs the Western market enters
largely into the calculations Of merchant and
manufacturer, the Chronicle thinks that the lat
ter must soon be compelled 10 seek compensation
in a reduction Of the price Of labor, or Of the raw
materials, or Of both. Then comes this state
ment, which we hope is well founded -
The cost of the main element Of subsistence
has declined nearly one half fuel has fallen in
nearly an equal proportion; clothing is rapidly
cheapening, and the prospects Of the Southern
crops encourage the hope Of a cotton yield which
will give fresh impulse to this tendency; and al
though animal food still remains high, yet the
reduced profits upon grain growing will naturally
direct attention 10 cattle farming. and increase
our supply of pork and beef Thus it will be
seen that the return Of breadstuiis 10 COMPANY
lively low prices, leads the way 10 a general r.
duction in the value Of all domestic products en-
brnced in the costs Of living"

THE WELSH FAsrrSG GIRL.-The case Of the
Welsh girl who is said to have tasted for two years
is exciting much attention at the hands Of the
English press, and if the statements made respect
ing her are true, hers is q most extraordinary
case. DR.. Lewis, of Carmanthenshire, sends an
account of her to the British Medical Journal.
The girls name is Sarah Jacobs, her age twelve
years, and she is the daughter of farmer in
Carmanthenshire. The statement is that she has
not swallowed any food whatever since October
10, 1867 and that she has not swallowed any
water or any other fluid since the end of Decem-
Der, 1867. She was healthy as a child and re-
manned 50 till February, 1866, when she had an
attack of soaratina, during which, from Febru-
airy Is TO H. she had severe pain in the epigastrc
region. This left her on the evening of the last
named day, and she has not quilted her bedsince

Il Just now anything which refers to the
part played by England in the rebellion is of in
terest We find the following in the Scientific
l9merican in 1864, and though it may be said that
ithis is evidence Of only the opinion and work OF
private individuals, it shows what nation the
rebels relied on for such aid
The facility with which Gen. Lee repairs his
railroads. after they have been torn up by our
cavalry raiders, is accounted for by facts the
truth of which is undoubted. Gen Lee has, in
conjunction with several English railroad engi-
neers, organized corps of railroad constructors,
which has this matter in hand. Large supple,
OF new railroad iron have been received from
abroad and placed at convenient points and du-
plcates of all important bridges are also on hand.
With this agency and these means, the damage
which can be done is rendered merely temporary
and it is quite certain that the rebels were able,
in a maryelously short space, to put in running
order both the Virginia Central and the Lynch
burg roads"
