States Sen ator by the Hampton legisls-
ture in South Carolina, lett Tor home to-
night after very pleasant interview
with the President. He with other gen.
tlemen who have been representing Gen.
Hampton here, express the opinion that
Hampton's government will surely be
recognized, and that one great object OF
the President in inviting Hampton TO
Washington was to receive from him
personally the assurance that the hum
blest colored man in the State shall re-
ceive the same protection rs the wealthy
white man. There seems to be no doub!
that Hampton will accept the invitation
of the President.
The President has addressed letter
to Vice President Wheeler requesting
him to consult with Mr.. r. Hutchinson,
an attorney-at-law of New Orleans, who
is we'll known to the President. and be-
lieved to be familiar with the true con-
dition of affairs in that State.

pied it less that year. The President re-
marked, DWELL, us the commissions run
for four years, there is time enough TO
yet to talk about change

the African Methodist Episcopal Church,
and other colored citizens of Richmond,
called on the President to-day 20 assure
him of their kind wishes Tor the success
Of his administration, and to thank MIN
for his utterances in behalf of the Atrl.
can race. The President reciprocated
the expressions of friendship, and said
his efforts would be to advance the equal
rights of all.
The President Is still in telegraphic
correspondence with several prominent
gentlemen in various parts OF tnc country
as to the organization of the Louisiana
Commission. Several gentlemen have
already declined such an appointment on
account OF private business engagements
or a desire not to take any active part in
the complications.
Minister: Washburn has asked to be re-
called, in pursuance Of determination
long since formed to return home at the

the penitential season of Lent begins
tomorrow, and the Christian church
puts on robes of the deepest mourning IN
commemoratlon of the passion OF her
Divine founder. On this day the church
solemnly celebrates the triumphsl entry
into Jerusalem which our Saviour made,

thus fulfilling the prophecy OF Zachsrlas.
The blessing and the distribution OF the
palms is the principal feature OF the
Catholic service, and the procession which
takes place before the celebration of mass
represents the entry into Jerusalem. AT
the Gospel the history of the
passion of our Saviour according
to St. Matthew is read. On Monday the
Gospel that is read consists OF the history
of the raising of Lazarus TO life, as al
though this event took place previous to
the entry into Jerusalem, yet on that &C.
casion our Savior spoke of His burial be-
ing close at hand. On Tuesday the Pas
sion according to st. Mark is read, on
