Making q stump speech the other day at Fred

CoLoRKD M8S poR OP1Ics.-We yesterday
gave an account of an interview OF the Ma
tional Executive Committee Of the coiored
men of the United States, appointed by con-
veRtIon held in this city In January last with
the President TO pay their respects TO him and
% present TO him an address Tne address sets
forth that they gladly took advantage OF q
Q a.ement published by trustworthy newspa-
psrs Of the Republican party TO seek the IN
terview. That statement was to the effect that
tue President intended TO appoint in North
ern States to important positions such coioredr
men as could discharge the duties with profit
and honor to the public service. knowing
this reported intention to be so eminently In
k.epIng with the record Of his administra-
tor they thought that few suggestions
made by those familiar with the North might
lend some support to the policy Indicated.
Among other things, they said the colored men
of the NCrth have already furnished such
proofs OF manhood to lift the question of
fitness for office out of the arena OF mere ex-
pertinent. They are assured the appointm snt
Of competent and trustworthy colored men to
competent positions In Northern States, would
give a deatb-blow TO objections against tue
hsldIng of such positions in the South by con-
vIncing the South that it is net true that tn !,
Norm wishes to force policy upon them
negroes are elevated TO important places by the
General Government in Rhode Island, the
problem OF negro ofice-holdiRg becomes easy
OF solution IN Georgia They think that IL In
the Northern States, here the negroes are nu-
merIcally weak, they are permitted TO share
some OF the honors OF citizenship with their
white fellow-citiZens, their brethren in the
south, where they are numerically strong,
would the more willingly share their polite NJ
immunities with their white fellow citizens,
and the whole race would be streng thened In its
patriotism by the kno wledge that the negroes are
no longer regarded a separate class in politics.
The address concludes as follows: sour rights
as men were recognized by Mr.. Lincoln, aud
we are filled with all gratitude for the fact bat
we came to you with a feeling OF fellowship,
added TO that or q mere sense of gratitude
because you have appointed mem ers of our
race TO important positions, and thus given a
rebuke to vulgar prejudice against a class. In
this you have gone far beyond our late lamen ted
President, for while under the necessities of
war ne made the nation ours by calling us to
Its defense; You, under the calm influence of
peace, have given us to the nation by lifting
our race to the enjoyment of its immuRities"

MRS SCOTT SIDDoSs AT THE NATIONAL
THEATKR--It is pleasant to be able to speak
OF dramatic performance in terms of unqual.
if1ed praise, and Sheridan Kaowles' beautiful
play of THE Hunchback," rs given at the
National Theater last night, deserves NO less
commendation; In fact, we can conscientiousIy
speak Of IL as one of the best performances as
a whole ever given in this city. Mrs Scott
Siddons' natural beauty and grace were
worthy Of the ideal - ulia," and her portrayal
of that loving and constant but sorely tried
woman in the perplexities which beset her,
particularly the battling Of love and pride.
gave painful reality to many OF the scenes,
which moved women and even strong men to
fears. and she was called before the curtain at
the close Of nearly every act. Sheridan WAS
very good as Sir Thomas Clifton Pierce
was capital as :. Master Walter" MISS Isa-
bella Freeman was arch and bewitching as
+" Helen; Mr.. Mitchell and MT yinine Bow.
ers bob appeared TO great advan tage, and the
other parts were acceptably filled. "The
Hunchback' will be repeated at the matinee
Tomorrow This evening, Mrs. Siddons Will
have benefit In Much Ado About Nothing,
and those who desire TO see a fms he'd perform

A SHARP RAsoAL.-The Wilmington Journal
OF yesterday says "A shrewd swlndler has re-
Gently been imoosing, with some success, upon
the railway officials IN this section. Last week
he passed over the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad from some point South, representing
himself as the son of Mr.. Ravenel President
Of the Northeastern Railroad. On the Will
mington and Weldon Railroad he appeared at
the Section Masters house, and there repre-
sented himself as the son OF the late General
Alexander McRae, formerly president of the
rs llroad, and stated that he was on an inspect
ing tour. He imposed upon the Section Mas
ter's wife and took q meal at her house. He
next turned up at Rocky Point and represent
ed himself as being on some mission connect
cd Elth r. tse seR poor At Magnolia M he stopped
played singular knowledge of the AFFAIRS Of the
company. Before leaving he bought a ticket
to Goldsboro' Of the agent. for which he made
him give q receipt, saying that, as he was con-
nected with the road. he intended to have the
money refunded when he returned to Whining

Master of what little money he then had in
his possession. This imposte is q SIN all man,
