CAUTION TO CATHOLIC PRIEsTs.-We
heard yesterday of "new and neat
swindle" being practiced to a considera-
BILE extent upon the Catholic clergy of
the rural villages by a pretended Prof.
de Gross. of New York. sThe swim
die consists in forwarding small box,
neatly done up, to the address of the
priest, marked C. O. D. Not sus-
pecting dishonesty, the charges
are paid, the box opened, and found
TO contain a dime picture of His
Holiness, the Pope, or other valuelesS
prints. One reverend gentleman in
Pittsburgh has been victimiEed to the
tune of $3.50. He at once sent the box
TO the express agent, with instructions
to ferret out the swindle-a duty which
the company owes to the public, and its
own fair fame, as it should not become
the medium through which Prof. de
Gross, and his ilk, carry on their nefar-
ious practices. The Catholic clergy
should also be on their guard.

VISIT TO TIE PRESIDENT, "A delegation
some twenty gentlemen from Virginia, whose
names were published in the Gazette OF oatur
day last as having been present at the meeting
of the Reconstruction Committee held thai
morning, called upon the President that alter
noon, and through their spokesman, Lewi'
Mckenzie, of this city, addressed him in lev
pertinent remarks, the main parts OF which are
as follows;
He said that the delegation, at great neon
venience, had come up on the night BOAT IRON
Richmond, by appointment, to meet the lie
construction Committee, but that the time o.
that committee had been occupied by 1cxa;
affairs so that the hour of adjournment had
arrived before the Nirginians could be heard
Thev had however, concluded, at the sugges-
ton of some leading gentlemen OF the House,
as well as BY their own views OF proprlety,to cal
on the President, and to urge him to seno
message to Congress as early as possible, asking
that they pass a bill or joint resolution, sub
hitting the Underwood Constitution to the
people ON the 18th Thursday OF May, or at al
early day, with separate vote on tne uis'l IA
chisipg clause and county organization; thar
nc thought NY SuCii q NOu'SS 49,
would be adopted by large majority, and thus
peace restored, and the 18th amendment
adopted. Mr.. Mckenzie further said
Mir. President, the failure OF the last Con-
gress to relieve good many from disabilities
under the 18th amendment, has had BAD
effect, and it was not right to treat the
people OF Virginia so. They were kindly DIS
posed, and were anxious for restoration to the
Union. Every material interest OF the State
was sutteriog in consequence OF non reStoTaion'
Emigration was delayed, business was para
lived, and q postponement to another year
would be very disastrous to all Interests
The President replied he was fully OF the
opinion that the alteration and amendments
proposed ought to be made, and separate
vote taken on the Objectionable features OF the
Constitution: that he had SO expressed hlIuSeli
to various members of Congress.
Mr. Mckenzie said: Mr. President, unless
you send message to Congress nothing will be
DONE The time of adjournment has been ixed,
and there is no time to lose.
The President replied that he would lmme
diately communicate with the Cabinet and
would probably, send message to Congress
on this subject early 10 this week
