A Methodist Minister anil his Family
Mobbed.
And not by Rebel, but by Radical Ku-KIux.
Knoxville, May 10.
The Press & Herald is in receipt of in
formation from the Rev. H. W. Bays (one
of tbe victims) of a Radical riot and
preacher mobbing in Blonnt county on the
morning of the 3th inst.
Last Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock a
mob of about forty Radinal ruffians of tbe
most brutish and proscriptive type, black
and white, congregated at D. Logan’s
chapel, six miles east of Maryville, in
Blount county, armed with knives, pistols
and bludgeons, for the purpose of mobbing
the Rev. H. W. Bays, a clergyman of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, hav
ing charge of Sevierville and Little River
Circuits of the Holston Conference.
The ruffians barricaded the doors and
windows of the church with the pews and
benches, and awaited the arrival of the
minister, Mr. Bays. In a short time the
unsuspecting victim arrived in front ol the
church in a barouehe, in which were Alex.
Kenedy, Sr., his daughter and the Rev.
Mr. Bays and wife.
The Radical mob seized the horses and
one Wm. Goddard, the leader of the gang,
brandishing a formidable bludgeon, swore
with a blasphemous oath, that they would
kill Bays if he alighted from the vehicle.
The ladies were terribly frightened, one pf
them nearly fainted, the cut-throats still
making threatening exhibitions of their
knives, and brandishing their ptioks, yel
ling and cursing amid the shrieks of tbe
ladies.
The Rev. Mr. Bays attempted in a pa
cific manner to reason with the scoundrels,
but ineffectually. They only answered him
with course epithets and oaths, and threat
ened to drag him from the carriage.and
murder him if he did not leave . the spot.
Believing that there was imminent dan
ger, and that delay might not only cost
him his life, but endanger the Jives of his
companions, Mr. Bays requested Mr. Ken
edy to drive off, and they lelt the spot
amid the ribald jeers and obscene insults
of the disgraceful miscreants.
The ring leaders in this high-handed out
rage are the persons who wore engaged in
a similar attempt to mob a Methodist min
ister in t -e same vioinity last year. Many
of them bad since that event been indict
ted, and had endeavored to compromise
with the prosecutors by payment of $5,000
which compromise was refused.
This last outrage by t’.e same gang of
outlaws occasions no littie t excitement
and indignation in this quarter. It is the
third ease of preacher mobbing that lins.oc
curred in the loyal eoijnty of Blonnt with
in the last two or three years.
Methodist Conference.
Memphis, May 11.—Bishops Jones,
Daniel Carry. Levi Scott, and others of the
No.thern Methodis Church, submitted a
memorial to the Southern General Confer
ence as follows:
By the action and authority of the Gen
eral Conference, at Chicago, 1868, we
were appointed a Commission to co-oper
ate with a like Commission irom the Chnrch
South, on the subject of Union.
The Committee met in PhHadelphia, in
1869, which resolutions were adopied ap
proving the action contemplating a union
of the two Chnrches, but it was thought to
be proper to make this further communica
tion. The appointment of this commission
shows that in the judgment of the North
ern Chnrch, there is not sufficient reason
why anion may not be effected on honora
ble terms
Hoping t at yon may see the snbject in
the same light and that yon may appoint a
similar commmittee to confer with us, pre
vious to the Conference in 1872, and pray
ing that yon may he prospered in all that
pertains to the welfare of the Christian
church, and desiring yonr j layers in behalf
of the chnrch we represent, this letter fa
offered to a committee of nine.
It fa thought the proposition will t-e
adopted.
On the fourth day the Conference was
called to order by Bishop Wightman
After religions exercises by Dr. Fisher,
of Californir, Bishop Wightman spoke
briefly against useless waste of time in speech
making.
Under a call of the Conferences a large
number of memorials and communications
were presented and referred, including oae
from Virginia, asking that the maonfectn-
ring and selling of whisky by members be
made punishable; one from LaGrange, Ga
severely criticising the Sunday school lit
erature now in use; one from Missouri pray
ing for more rigid discipline in regard to
dancing.
Dr. G. K. Marshall advocated the estab
lishment of a monthly eclectic magazine,
devoted to the interests of the literature of
the Chnrch. He gave notice that it wonld
be established.
Execbtive appointments.—Gover
nor Bollock has made tbe following ap
pointments:
James B. Deveaux, to be Ordinary of
Jones county.
M. Y. Clayton, to be Clerk of the Supe
rior Court of Eohols county, vice Jas. Bor
ing removed from the county.
Roht. H. Atkinson,of Bibb, to be Secre
tary of the Executive Department, vie c
Paul Lester, resigned.
• Robt. N. King to be Ordinary ot Cam
den county, trice Wm. T- Spencer resign
ed.
Jas. E. Dickinson, Clerk Superior Court
Decatur county.
Taking Things Easy.—When a man
tells yon that he “always takes things easy,
and “never puts himself ont of the way for
anything or anybody.” set him down in yonr
mental memorandum book ns a case of chron
ic laziness and selfishness. Snch easy go
ing individuals never win either fortune or
fame. They may call their indifference in
dependence ; bat if so, they make a miser
able mistake. Rea] independence fa the
offarping of well directed energy, and the
“philosophy of indolence” fa nothing better
than a mean and cotemptible sophistry.—
“Whatever thy hand fladpth to do, do it
with all, thy might,” is the vigorous lan
guage of Inspiration.—Savannah Adver
tiser.
Heavy Contract.—.At a meeting of
the Board of Directors of the proposed
railroad from Enfanla, Ala, to Meridian,
Mississippi, held on Saturday last, the con
tract for building the road was awarded to
Messrs Parot Bradley and John Gill Shor
ter. This fa a heavy contract, comprising
about two hundred and fifty miles of rail
road construction, and amounting to some
$6,000,000. The Toad,when finished, will
complete the connection between Vicks
burg, Mississippi, and Savannah.
Miscegenation.—On Snnday night
last an old negro and an abandoned white
woman were publicly joined in wedlock, at
Indian Spring, by the negro Methodist
minister at that plaoe, in the presence of
his congregation. So far as the negro is
concerned a prosecution for bigamy fa im
minent; as for the woman, a kn-klnx visita
tion was threatened hy the colored women
when our informant left yesterday.—Ma-
O p. Journal, 3d.
Hot Milk a Remedy.—Hot milk b*s
been successfully tried as a remedy for diar
rhoea. It fa said that a pint every few
hours will check the most violent btomach
ache, incipient cholera or dysentery. Half
a pint every meal generally reduces grad
ually aqd'pleasantly an ordinary diarreea.
Farming in Jerusalem.—A letter
has been received in London from the An-
glecian Bishop of Jerusalem, which corob-
orates the statement made on this painful
subject by Sir Moses Monterfore. The
Bishop in bis letter says: A small don
key’s load of water costs 6d to the poor
Jew, whose family income fa Id per week.
Many Moselemen and nominal Christians
are in the same position. What fa more
dreadful to contemplate is the fact that the
airings near Jerusalem are drying up. Bat
there fa another more terrible calamity stilL
The locusts are spread oyer the mountains
of Judah and Samaria, in the valley of
Jordan and in tho plain of Sharon and Gal
ilee, having come to lay their eggs, which
will be batched before tbe harvest; and as
the Arabs say that each couple lays two
hundred eggs, countless millions will ap
pear, eating every gieen thing, poisoning
the ground and thus preventing grass grow
ing for the cattle.
An Indiana lawyer recently charged a
client $10 for collecting $9, but said be
wonld not press him to pay the other dollar
for a week or two if not convenient. '
A Nejro Denounces tbe Radical Robbers.
A negro who edits the Missionary Re
cord published at Charleston, South Curoli
na, has at last concluded to' speak out his
mind. This negro is a State Senator and
he knows whereof he talks. Thus, he
says;
We know that in the Republican par
ty we have some of the most unscrupulous
demagogues, some of tbe most dishonest of
men. We have never been so wedded to
party as to wink at all its sins, or to spare
any of its numerous sinners, when we have
believed they needed scoring at our hands.”
Therefore the honorable colored Senator
proceeds to score them in language which
applies with equal propriety to Radical
county officials a'l over the South. He
cays, speaking of county affairs- in South
Carolina.
‘In onr county affairs there never was a
more reekless expeud ture of public fnnds.
of no practical good to the county, than in
Charleston county We know of transac
tions which will make any honorable man
blush to mention—the expenditures of
money wrung from the taw payers, which
may be characterized as highway robbery
In certain transactions in city affairs
forbear to speak, hoping that
the time fa not far distant when we shall
have a reformation,even in the present Coun
cil, which will reflect honor upon its name.
The school question is another which
enters into the vitality of the nation's
progress and prosperity; aud yet there has
not been a dozen schools established in anv
of the parishes or districts outside of the
large cities, and yet the commissioners ate
drawing their pay. and all other offices are
feeding at the pnblie crib, while the people
are bleeding at every pore.’

few djys ago, stock in the South aud North

The Enfanla News says : “We notice
elegant stands of both corn and cotton in
this immediate section. It is young and
small, but has a healthy, growing appear
ance. Corn has been worked once, and cot
ton fa being chopped ont.”
The Huntsville Independent says : ‘We
hear from farmers from every quarter that
there was never a better stand of coru and
cotton. Thero is a great deal more (and
in cultivation this year than any previous
year since the war. So far as we cun learn
the laborers are doing well.”

Founder ih Morses.
Benjamin W. Wood writes the Southern
Cultivator as follows:
Many years ago I learned a cure for
founder in horses which fa so. simple, and
has proved so successful in my hands, that
I send it tp yon, thinking it may be of ser
vice.to some of yonr readers. 'Clean ont
the bottom of toot thoroughly—hold op
the leg so as to bring the bottom of the
hoof upward, holding it up firmly in a hor-
rizonta! position, aod pour in, say a table,
speonful of spirits turpentine, if the cavity
of the hoof will hold that much—if not
poor in what it wdl hold, without danger
of running over; tonch the turpentine with
a red hot iron; (this will set it on fire),
hold the hoit' firmly in this position until
it ah burns ont. Great care must betak
en that none runs over on the hair of the
hoof, lest the skin be burned. If all the
feet are affected, bnrn turpentine in each
of them. Relief .will speedily follow, and
the animat be ready for service iu a short
time.
I once applied this remedy to a burse that
had been foundered twenty-four hours be
fore I saw him, and he was promptly re
lieved. In another case when the animal
could hardly be induced to move, bis suffer
ing was so great, he was treated in the same
manner as soon as his trouble was discover
ed, and less than an hoar afterwards he
was bitched to a buggy and driven some
twenty five miles the same day—all lame
ness disappearing after he had traveled a
few miles.
A Wife’s Side of the Story.—Ons
Brice pnblished his wife iu the Athens
(Tenn.) Post and tbe injured lady replies
as fellows iu the same paper:
In reply to the Botice in the Post in re
gard to my leaving his bed aud board, he
aau none, he fa mistaken, be had neither
bed not board. He left my bed and my
father’s board. As for running you
in debt, it fa semething you could not do
yourself, for you can’t get rredit for any
thing. I understand you have made ap
plication for a divorce; aod now to save
someiawyer from bard pleading for nothing,
I will raise a public collection, lor I think
the community will help to pay some good
blacksmith to uiakeyuuone outofgood iron
that will last yon your lifetime; so -then
you get your divorce in your pocket yon
will weigh heavier than you ever did before
for you are a very light article anyhow.
Now I have one request to make of the
community—that fa for everybody to give
him .a shake of the paw, then he will laugh,
himself to death and 1 will get shut of him
Respectfully,
Mary Brice.

Miss Bahkaloo-Attorney at Law.—
Miss Lemma Barkaloo has auspiciously be
gun her legal career. The first case trans
pired a few days ago, and was so ably and’
adroitly conducted that a settlement was
successfully effected without trial. This
was the case.—The plaintiff, a lady, claim-
ed damages for a dead dog, whose earthly
career was alleged to have been irregularly
terminated by one of the city street cars.
Sixty dollars was the amount of damages
demanded. Tbe directors of the railway
company demurredto this bill and retained
Miss Barkaloo as their counsel in suit.
Thero was overwhelming evidence of the
fact that tho dog was dead and could never
bark again, as well os that its barkinglesa
condition was caused by carelessness od the
mt ot defender's agents. Miss Barka-
oo, therefore, with a sagacity and modesty
which do her infinino credit,tbtained a set
tlement of the case on favorable terms, not-
ithstanding that she thereby sacrificed
brilliant opportunity for making her maid-
n plea.— St- Lows Times.

A day or two sinco this somewhat noto
rious colored individual arrived in this
city, and on last Sunday night it was an
nounced to the colored churches that he
wonld deliver an addr ss in front of tbe
City Halloa the following afternoon. Yes-
te’day the calls wore circulated, which in
vited all opposed to the new system of sla
very in Georgia, inaugurated by Bullock
a id Terry, to attend the meeting to he held
that evening. About ha : f-past fonr or five
o’clock the wauhoo of the Ogecchce mount
ed the steps of the City Hall, and com-
mc-nced his addre-s to u few hundred col
ored men and women who had assembled in
front of the bnilding.
The harangne of tho “Senator from the
First District” lasted about an hour and a
half, and wa3 based on a petition and a se
ries of resolutions which the speaker said
he intended 'o present to the United States
Congress. These stated, in substance, that
a new system of slavery h id sprang ap in
Georgia, nearly as bad as the old one—
viz : the chain gang system, or the hiring
out of convicts to railway contractors, who
s arve, whip, work and shoot them to death;
that Gen. Terry had refused to break np
this iniquity, and that Bullock was believed
to have an interest in the operation; asking
that both Ballook and Terry be removed,
and Gen. Sheridan be appointed to the
command of Georgia.
In support of this petition the wauhoo
spoke, den inncing Terry, Bollock and what
he truthfully termed, the mongrel Legis
latnre.
He charged that the men now tunning
tbe State government were not Repub
licaos, as they claimed to be, bat the be
trayers of that party. He was particularly
severe on the State Road, of which Buf
fi ck fa President, and its management, stat
ing that colored men who wished to ride
upon it, and had paid fall fare, were not
allowed to enter the decent cars, bat were
made to enter cattle boxes. He ridiculed
Bullock’s stories abont -he Kn-Klnx, say
ing that they were gotten up for effect.—
The speech throughout was exceedingly
bitter and severe upon the Bnllock ring,
characterizing the Governor as a weak, dis
honest and vain man, who fa engaged in
plandering the State, and who has become
completely spoiled since hfa elevation to
power the heighth of hfa ambition being
to wear hfa breeches in hfa boots, ride a fine
horse, and who carried hfa head so far
back, because he had not brains enough to
hold it forward.
The sprech was well received by hfa an-
dieuce, and at its conclusion a large num
ber of signatures were added to the peti
tion.— Ohton. & Sen.
APING THAD, STEVENS.
A Short Homily Illustrating tbe Frog in tbe
Fable.
From tbe Cincinnati Enquirer,]
That disgustingly dilapidated eld sinner,
Brownlow, fa attempting to reprodace the
pretentions die-at-the-post of-dnty farce, for
the original repiesentatioa of which the
American people were indebted to that oth
er embodiment of malignant deviltry,Thad.
Stevens.
As fa usual with copyists, the splenetic
Tennesseean fa only a pitiful caricature of
of hfa prototype. In the physical features
of the role he fa quite as repnl-ive as Ste
yens. He has to bo brought to the Senate
by attendants. Hfa voice fa gone, and he
votes by proxy, sending hfa vote to the
Secretary bya page. Yet he fa in hfa seat
every day, waiting and watching for every
possible opportunity to stab a political ene
my by a vote, or to otherwise exhibit the
inherent “enssedness” of hfa nature. Bnt
it fa a poor, spitetol, pitiful, contempible
sort of malignity, after all, with nothing of
the genius which illustrated the devilfah-
nessofthe Pennsylvanian and raised him
to that “bad eminence” where he was rec
ognized as head demon of hfa party.
- Brownlow’s attempt to fill Steven’s shoes
fa a painful reproduction of the old fable—
the frog trying to swell to the dimension of
the ox.

•‘Paris by Sunlight and GaslJsht.”
A work descriptive of the Miseries, the Vir
tues, Vices, Splendors, and Crimes of the
City of Paris.—By James D. McCabe,
Jr., National Publishing Co., Atlanta,
Ga.
_ . Those who wish to know what fast life
fa in Paris, says a cotemperary, should read
this book, tor a more faithful picture was
never drawn of the follies and crimes of
the gayest city in the world. T.iere is no
place where sin and vice assume such beau
tiful guises, or where so much care fa ta
ken to make life one ronnd of fast and reck
less dissipation as in the gay capital
France. Onr author evidently knows
whereof he writes, and draws hfa pictures
in the most glowing colors. He carries os
into all classes of society, from the family
ol the Emperor, to the garret of the pretty
Grisette. We lisUc to the glorions music
of tbe Grand Opera, and to the ravishing
strains -of the- Can can at .Mabille, or the
Clo-erie.
We are admitted to the parlors of the
Dnchess, and watch the spreading oi the
social p'agne spot over the fair fame of the
noble dame; and chat with-Cora Pearl and
her sister Lorettes in their gorgeous apart
ments. All the trickeries, knaveries, follies,
crimes, and the dark and terrible mysteries
of the wicked City, are portrayed in this
volume with a startling trathfnlness.—
The reader fa thrilled, fascinated, charmed,
and finds it impossible to lay tbe book aside
until it fa completed. Since the publica
tion of the “Wandering Jew,” no more
powerful acd thrilling work upon this snb
ject has ever appeared ; bat anlike that
book, this one fa of permanent value, for,
besides its chapters, relating to the darker
side of Paris, it makes us folly acquainted
with the bright side of Paris, it aakes ns
folly acqnianted with the bright beautiful
City, i-o attractive to an American. It
abounds in solid and useful information,
which fa so thoroughly interwoven with the
bright and sparkling pictures of the glories
aod greatness of this woaierfhl City, that
we do notwonder.that Pons draws so many
Americans to it every vear. There fa no
class of Americans to which this book does
not appeal, either by its solid worth or by
its powerful descriptions of the sensation
of tbe gayest City in the world. The 150
engravings with which it fa Hlnstrateu
were executed in Paris, ond-r the eye of
the author, by the best artists of France.
The work fa for sale only by subscrip
tion.
