Seventh Day of the Method iU General Con, ference. Memphis, May 10.—The Conference was called to order by Bishop Doggett. Under a call of the standing committees, Dr. Hamilton, from the Committee on Re, vivals, recommended adhesion to the pres ent system of discipline. The Committee oh the Interests of the Colored People recommended the adop tion of a seperate Church organization, os provided in the discipline, which, under the rale, goes over, bat will aodoabtedly Under a call of Conferences, a; large number of resolutions, and petitions were received and referred, inclndingone from Mobile, urging the re-enactment of the original prohibition in the code of 1858, prohibiting such amusements as theatres, circnsses, dances, etc. A petition was received from St. Louis, asking for the formation of a new confer ence in Kansas. Also one allowing the Pacifie Conference to sab-divide itself within the next fonr y?ars ; for changes in the discipline regard ing infant baptism ; and to relieve the pres ent discipline from ambiguities. This led to a lengthy disenssion. The other proceedings were unimport ant. appointments hy Bullock.

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.’ Alabama News. Raphael Semmens fa to deliver the ora tion before the literary societies of the An- born Male College, at the commencement in July. At an executor’s sale in Montgomery, a few djys ago, stock in the South aud North raifaoad was bid off at $17,25 per share, and that in the Montgomery and Western railroad at $13, 50 per share. 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.” John Yeargin, Perry Yeargin and David McConnell anl families, all citizens of Cherokee county, left for California last week. 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. Washington. Washington, May 12.—The Ways and Means Committee heaid Mr. Bowles, ot Bowles, Bro. & Co., oi Paris, in favor of the four per cent bonds. The army hill, as passed ousts some two hundred and fifty officers from drawing sal aries. Morton said dnring the debate that it was a blow at the administration. In the Senate the report of tbe Confer ence Committee for the sale of Hot Springs Arkansas reservation was adopted. The army bill was resnmed, and the amendment repealing the laws forbidding retired officers from holding civil offices, de feated. The bill finally passed, amended as follows : Army reduced to thirty thous and and active and retired officers forbid den from holding any civil office. Goes to the President ibr concurrence. Revenue to-day $580,000. The President has signed the bill limi ting the treasury agents to fifty-three. The Star says that the Senate Committee cn the Pacific Railroad have agreed to re port in favor of a Southern Pacific Rail road from Marshall, Texas, by way of El Passoto San Diego in California. General Fremont’s road fa to be allowed to connect with the above road at El Passo, but he fa to receive no grant of lands beyond El Passo. Raleigh, May 12.—The Republican convention harmonized better to-day. Res olutions indorsing Grant, Holden, and the present pnblie school system, and inviting emigration into the State, were passed, and the Convention adjourned sine die. South Georgia and Florida R. R.— We are gratified to learn that the above road, between Thomasville and Albany, has been completed, and that a train pass ed over the road to Flint river on Sunday last. 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. Two lads, at ana rear Opelika, have diel recently from congestion of the brain I caused by bathfag when over-heated. Mow Bollock Feeds Uis Organ Grinders. By way of giving a fat job to his Atlanta organs, Bullock publisher in- the Era acd Intelligencer, spread out over nearly two columns and a half of those papers, a list of the persons in Georgia whose political disa bilities have leen removed by Congress, in accordance with the Fourteenth Amend ment of the Constitution. This fa the first instance we know of iu which tbe names of amnestical citizens in any of the Southern States have been advertised at tbe expense of the State. The advertisement fa mark ed to be inserted four times, and at regular advertising rates will give a nice little fee to the incorruptible Atlanta organs.—Sav. Nines. Aaron Alpcoria Hradlcy. 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. The Case of Chap Norris.—We learn that Chap Norris, military Sheriff of War ren county, was arrested by the military for accepting bribes from citizens, and brought to the Barracks here and confined. Hfa connsel, Messrs. Gartrell & Stephens, applied to Gen. Terry for bail, and Gen., Terry allowed him to be brought before the ’ civil authorities. He was accordingly car ried before D, B. Smith, Notary Public. — Mr. NoTrfa waived an examination, and gave bond in the sum of $1,000 for hfa ap- - learance before the next October term ot iVarren Superior Court tu answer the charge.

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.
