THE PRESIDENT AID THE TRxAs ELECTION

army during the late rebellion, and the former

Clark being an old fellow-soldier Of the Preei-
dent during the war. The visit was not made
with reference TO political affairs in Texas, bat
in the course Of con nversatIou that su bject came
up, when the President said that he was con.
vinced that the supporters Of General Davis
represented the genuine Republican party OF
the State OF Texas, and that he hoped for the
success OF the tick beaded by him. He init.
mated very plainly that he considered Hamilton
the leader OF the rebels OF the State, and that he
stood in the same relation to Texas Republicans
that Andrew johnson did TO the Repu blicans
in Tennessee. He considered both inImical to
the success Of true Republican principles.
claimed ON the stump in his State that be was
endorsed by the Executive, the President en-
phatically denied that he had ever given him
any reason 10 suppose that his course or his
party was endorsed by the Administration or
Its head, and in this connection he used the
significant language that because Hamilton
had gone over 70 the rebels was no reason why
he (the rrssident! should do so. Gen. CLARK

history Of the Davis and Hamilton movements.
Both General CLARK and Captain Saylor were
decided in the opinion that the Davis ticket
would b successful in the approaching elec.
tion, provided the military were IN nstructed to
take such action as would secure Q fuil. fair
and honest expression OF political opinion at
the polls. The President Immediately replied
that such protection would be afforded the

LONDON, June 22.-The son of the

India, as the climate of England proves
unfavorsble to his health.
The London Star, of to-day, praises
the United States Government for its
consistency in taking measures to pre-
vent the departure Of filibustering par
ties for Cuba. The more vigorously the
neutrality laws are enforced at the out
set, the more easily will the public mind
be led in the right direction. Sympathy
for nation struggling for freedom is
natural to Americans as we'll as English
men, but the sooner the people are re-
minded that a neutral country has du-
ties incompatible with the sending out of
privateers and wsrlike expeditions the
better. Neutrality is not likely to exist
unless the laws as they now stand are en-
forced, and when laws are insufficient
they ought to be amended. English law
yers and statesmen may, to their own sd-
vantage and instruction, watch the result
Of the proceedings instituted in the
United States, for American statute deal
ing with the subject is almost identical
with the English law. The case will
form precedent of policy worthy Of con-
sideration and imitation.

The vagaries of an American Chixen
of African Descent.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal' l7th.l
An old crazy negro has been proving
around in the neighborhood of the Mans.
lick road, southwest of the city, tor the
mast six weeks. He claims to be MIN
ister of the gospel and favored prophet
of the Lord. When he first made his
appearance he told his hearers that he
had a special commission from heaven
tn find Jesus, who, he said, was now on
earth. He has been living in the woods,
subsistipg on diet of whisky and barbe-
cued spring chickens, without mama,
and anxiously praying for the power to
work a miracle similar to the one re-
corded of the "loaves and fishes" only
on more extensive scale. he admon-
ished his colored hearers OF the wrath
for the Mormon sin so much In vogue
among the darkies. The idea of q
plursiity of wives or husbands was to him
renulsiye in the extreme. He said one
wife was enough, and that the one chosen
in slavery should be the only one in
freedom.
When he saw one or more persons COM
ing down the road, he would mount q
stump ana DhuR away Win htS oAshoeo~
artillery as long as the sable sinners were
in sight, and when they had gone, he
would cease to uncork his walls OF wrath,
and proceed to unstrap vessel that con-
tanned something else. While in the
heat of one of his mastery fulminations
the other day, before multitude OF three,
he suddenly stopped, and, with great
esrnestness, told his bearers that he had
found Jesus, and person, whom he gave
this title, was pointed out. The newly
discovered Savior, however, was known
by all present to be such mean and
worthless scamp that his disciples fell
from grace, denied their master, and
said, dat old fool niger was no prophet
to himself or anybody else" They
then took the ecclesiastical dead beat in
an irreverent manner to meandering
stream hard by, and, after ceremony
unauthorized by any of the creeds, soused
him under the water several times. then
hung him up on log to dry, and left
him. The old woolly-head will probably
seek more hospitsble latitude for the
future PRONUNCIATION of his doctrines.
