Church Reform.
Gishop I’icrcc has, in a published letter,
expressed his opposition to the custom of rent
ing out the pews in churches, which the Meth
odist Church lias of late years shown some
disposition to follow. The llishop thinks it
inconsistent, with the religion and the eflicacy
of his denomination, and hopes that the move
ment will go no further.
At a late sitting in London, the Wesleyan
Conference of Great Britain made an impor
tant alteration in the regulations as to the
itinerancy. ft provided that Ministers
might remain ns long as five years consecu
tively at one station, if the Quarterly Confer
ences of the Circuits so requested. Many
members of the Methodist episcopal (’lunch
desire a similar change in this country.
The laymen of the Methodist episcopal
Churches of New York and Brooklyn are
about to make a movement in favor of abolish
ing tlie office of Presiding Elder. They urge
that, this eldership is unnecessary—that the
services of the Presiding Elders are wanted
.is preachers —that the office imposes a bur-
Ihonsome and unnecessary tax on societies,
and creates murmuring among the people,
who support, the Riders “ with grudging
hands.”
Abolition Duplicity.
It is telegraphed from Chicago, that the
l''roosoilors at, Lawrence, Kansas, had held a
public meeting at which they disclaimed any
participation in the murder of Sheriff Jones,
and denounced the act; also, that “Governor”
Robinson had issued a proclamation offering a
reward of SSOO for the apprehension of the
assassin ! Though no one at that meeting may
have fired the gun, they were all implicated
in and morally responsible for the murder of
Jones. They resisted his authority, and got
up the excitement and fanaticism which in
duced the dastard to murder him, even if they
did not employ the assassin for that purpose.
Jones fell a victim to a conspiracy against the
laws which these men organized and abetted
—which, in fact, they headed and directed.—
The murder of Jones was but one incident of
a system of outrage and crime of which they
were the fomenters and designers. It is only
die fear of punishment that makes them dis
own the act. No doubt their papers in the
oast are loudly, exulting over it. lloecher and
Silliman have “thanked God” for this display
of the “moral power of Sharp’s rifle,” and
(irceley has, like the brave ass in the fable, be
stowed a kick upon the senseless body of the
dead lion.
Is it possible that the conspirators and reb
els at Lawvonce will be permitted to escape
punishment for this act also?
Senator Douglas on Nicaragua.
The following is an outline of Mr. Douglas’
argument, made in the Senate on the Ist inst.,
in support of the recognition of tho present
Government of Nicaragua. It will be seen
that his views differ wholly and radically from
those of Mr. Marcy, and we think that those
of Judge Douglas will be found most accepta
ble to the masses of our people. The remarks
were made on tho resolution of inquiry offered
by Mr. Weller, which resolution was after
wards withdrawn, not because the Senate ap
peared disposed to vote it down, but upon Mr.
Seward's reminding the mover that a similar
resolution had already been passed by the
Senate, to which the I’reßidcnt had not res
ponded:
Mr. Douglas believed that the (Jlayton-llul
wer treaty was being violated every day by
Great Britain, and thought something ought
to be done about it. He regarded tho present
Government of Nicaragua legitimate—as much
mi as the other existing governments of Cen
tral America. It was tho firmest and most
-table government that had been there since
die throwing off the Spanish yoke, and so fai
ls he knew justice was more impartially ad
ministered and the rights of man and proper
ty more sacredly guarded and protected under
tlu* existing government, than under any pre
vious oue. Nor was ii any objection in his
mind that an American by birth was in com
mand of the Nicaraguan Army.
Nicaragua has as much right to become the
asylum of emigrants from this country as we
have to receive Kuropean emigrants, tshehad
as much right to naturalise Gen. Walker, and
qive him military command as weliad to do the
same In Gen. Shields. Further, Nicaragua
had as much right to send an American by
birth Minister to this country, as we Lave to
send a man of foreigu birth to represent us in
the Courts of Spain, Italy, or Holland. He
believed we ought to enforce our neutrality
laws, but uot go a hair’s breadth beyond tho
line of strict duty.
Crops in Texas.
The grain and cotton crops are represented
to bo quite promising in many portions of Tex
as. The Houston Telegraph of the 25th ult.
learns by a gentleman from Dallas county that
the crops were very flourishing in that re
gion. One gentleman had already sold his
growing wheat crop at $1.25 per bushel.
The United States Treasury is full to over

just reported the amount on baud at the sev

PARTY VIEWS AND MOVEMENTS.
Mn. Fi i.luohk. —There appears to he no
longer any rcasoii to doubt that the American
nominee for the Presidency has resolved on
accepting the nomination of liis party. The
Washington Organ is authorized to state that
a letter has been received from Mr. Fillmore
by a gentleman in Washington, in which lie
states that the official announcement of his
nomination had not been made to him, hut that
lie was at the service ol’ his friends.
Gk.N. lIotSTON FOl! PIIKHIOENT.—Late H'l
j vices from Washington report that Gen. .Sum
Houston will he run as an independent Know
Nothing candidate tor the Presidency; and
i some political speculators think that with him
in the field, the Black Republicans will dc-
I cline to make any nomination of their own,
but will give him their support. The move
ment is thought to he damaging to Fillmore’s
prospects.
Tin: Black Rkpudlii'anh.—Mr. Mace, a
leading member of this scurvy faction, has
written a letter to one of his constituents in
Indiana, in which lie says that the prospects
of his party seem gloomy when looked at one
way, and the other way cheering. He thinks
that if the Democracy harmonize and bring out
a good ticket (which he docs not regard as
probable) “all is lost for the present,” hut be
lieves that the Republicans can beat either
Pierce or Douglas, lie says that the policy
of the Freesoilcrs is to bring out “anew hut
true man,” and that Fremont is that man.
South Carolina. —The State Convention
to appoint delegates to the Democratic .Na
tional Convention at Cincinnati, assembled at
Columbia on Monday afternoon. We have nut
yet received its proceedings, hut wo doubt not
that delegates were appointed, with, perhaps,
very plain instructions.
Tiif, Nkw York 1 1 akos. —The delegates of
this party to the Cincinnati Convention assem
bled at (Syracuse on the 2i)ih ult., to determine
upon their course. They re-affirmed the
usual resolutions of their party, and resolved
to stick to their separate State organization.—
The resolution to avoid any alliance with the
Softs, and to insist on their rejection by the
Cincinnati Convention, was the pervading
sentiment; and it is said that Dickinson and
Rusk were the favorites of the delegates for
tiie Presidency and Vice Presidency. 11 seems
inevitable that the Cincinnati Convention will
have trouble with the case of the two wings in
New York.
Delaware.— Senator Bayard and the lion.
George Heed Riddle have been elected dele
gates to the Democratic National Convention,
from the New Castle district, Delaware. They
were instructed to vote for Mr. Buchanan so
long as they may think proper so to do.
Missouri. —Col. Benton, it is said, lias de
clined to run for Governor as the nominee of
the Soft wing of the Missouri Democracy ; but
he has advised his friends not to yield an inch
to the “Atchisonites.”
California. —The last arrival advises us
that Ex-Gov. Foote has withdrawn from the
contest for the Senatorship ; and it is there
fore thought to be probable that a Senator will
be elected by the Legislature now in session.
Both branches have Know Nothing majorities.
Massachusetts Whigs. —On the Ist inst.,
the Whigs of the Legislature and many of the
leaders of the party throughout the State held
a meeting in Boston. They adopted a resolu
tion affirming their adherance to the principles
of the Whig party and declaring they would
enlist in the ranks of no party which did not
bear the ling and keep step to the music of the
Union. A Whig State Central Committee was
appointed.
Gov. Johnson. —Some of the politicians at
Washington now think that Gov. 11. V. John
son, of this State, stands a very fair chance to
receive the Democratic nomination for the
Vice Presidency.
Smali. Bank. —The smallest bank in the
United States is tlu* Bank of Cayuga Lake,
Painted Post, New York, with3lo,ooo capital.
We find the above announcement in some of
our exchanges, circulating without contradic
tion. It is rather strange that such glaring
errors should be so circulated. Only yester
day we announced the establishment of a
new Bank in our own State, with a capital
of only $-00,000, and wo do not believe that
there is a “wild cat” in Georgia with a sub
scribed capital ns large as the Bank of Cay
uga Lake. Our own impression is, that one
fourth of the numerous Banks in the United
States are doing business upon a less capital
than $310,000.
A pleasant wife is a rainbow in the sky,
when her husband's mind is tossed with tem
pests. — i'.xehaut/t.
Wo heard our incorrigible old bachelor
lrieiul use very nearly ihe same simile the
other day, but ho had it distorted to suit bis
own whims. According to hi* notion, it is the
attempt of wives to imitate the rainbow (both
in gaudy and variegated colors and in its lioop
like form) which tosses their husbands’ minds
with tempests. But as he has never been
married, and consequently never •* heard it
thunder, '’ ho can’t appreciate the beauties
and peaceful promise of the rainbow after a
storm.
The latest dispatch in reference to the Phil

.Fatal Affray in Alabama.
A few days since a fatal affray took place at
Oakey Streak, Butler county, Vlubnma, be
tween three brothers named John, Jesse and
Madison Jordan, on the oue side, and two
brothers named Giles and Robert Smith, and
a man called Love Wilson on the other side.
In the fight John Jordan had a knife stuck
into him. from the etiect of which lie lias since
died.

From Washington.
Washington, Tuesday, April 20, ’SO.
An interesting case was decided by the
Court of Claims to-dny. The oth article of
’ the Florida Treaty provided satisfaction for
injurit - to the Spanish inhabitants ol Unit
territory, wiio had suffered by the operations
of the American army in 1812 and 1813. The
I acts of Congress to fulfill the obligation em
braced claims to the amount of nearly $3,-
000,000, with more than $1,500,000 interest,
the latter lias not been paid. A petition having
been tiled for interest on a $4,000 claim here
tofore allowed, the Court of Claims hold that
the Florida Judges were not authorized to
act as an ordinary court, but as Commisssion
ers merely, tlieir awards with the vouchers to
: be approved by the Secretary of the Treasury:
I that this arrangement could not be disturbed
without the authority of Congress, which os- ,
tablished this mode of complying with the
treaty stipulation ; that the question of inter
est must come under the review ol the Secre
tary of the Treasury, from whose decision
there can be no appeal.
Judge Scarborough considered that the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars involved sunk
into insignificance in comparison with the ini- •
portant principle presented. He delivered an ;
elaborate opinion—differing from Messrs. Gil- !
clirist arid Blackford.
\ re bearing was granted.
Congressional.
Washington, May 2.
in tiio United States Senate to-day, Mr.
Benjamin made a speech on Kansas affairs,
and the further consideration of the question
was postponed until Monday, the 12th inst.—
During the debate high words passed between
Senators Clay and Hale, in reference to the
recent speech of the former.
A number of private bills were taken up by
the House and considered. Both Houses ad
journed until Monday.

Fatal Duel.
Columjuja, May 4.
A duel was fought yesterday in this State,
Fair Bluff', S. C., between J. 11. Flauncr, Esq.,
merchant, and Dr. Wilkings, both of Wilming
ton, N. C. At the third fire, Dr. Wilkings was
shot through the heart and killed. Political
affairs caused the difficulty. Dr. Wilkings
was a Democrat, and Mr. Planner a candidate
on the American ticket for Commissioner of
Navigation for the port of Wilmington.

The Alleged Land-Warrant Forgeries.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:—“the recent telegraphic
statement that fogeries of land-warrants for
one million acres had been discovered here, is
wholly unfounded. A gaug of forgers in these
operations were detected at New Orleans some
time ago, who had plans prepared for large is
sues, and perhaps to the exteut represented ;
but their certificates and apparatus were seiz
ed by the authorities, and consequently the
whole scheme failed. Frauds have doubtless
been committed, but rarely with loss to the
Government. Individuals are the principal
sufferers from forged assignments, which,
with every precaution, can hardly be pre
vented. They were more frequent under the
first acts ten years ago than now. The Courts
have held that there is no law for the punish
ment of forgeries of land-warrants, and this
decision has encouraged depredations. Mr.
McClelland has recently recommended an act
covering this defect. The Government has
information of contemplated frauds which
may lead to important results; but the cuds of
justice require silence at present as to lo
cality.”
Latest Indian News.
We learn from the Tampa Peninsular of the
26th ult., that Mr. John Carney, residing on
the Alatia, was murdered by the Indians on
tlie 17th ultimo. Mr. Carney was plow
ing in the field, when the savages came upon
him. It is supposed that he tied upon their
approach, as his body was found in the woods
about five hundred yards from the field, per
forated with five balls. Several parties start
ed out on the trail of the savages, but had all
returned —being unable to come up with tlie
foe, and, finally, after following them for four
or five days, having lost tlieir trail altogether.
Tlie Indians, it appears, are becoming em
boldened by the impunity with which their
numerous depredations have been committed.
The Peninsular says :
A friend just from Fort Dynaud, informs us
that the Indians are defying Major Arnold’s
command, day after day, to come out and tight
them, and that Maj. Arnold deems it impru
dent to venture an engagement with his inex
perienced men, until reinforced. The men are
not wanting in ardor ; it requiring stringent
measures to prevent them from exposing them
selves to answer the taunts of the foe.
.
The Penitentiary.
In the Nashville Union of the 80th of April,
we find the following paragraph :
“We are informed that another attempt to
burn the Tennessee Penitentiary was made by
one of the convicts on Monday night. About
midnight one of the wings containing tlie cells
was suddenly lighted up, when the guards and
several of the prisoners gave the alarm.
It appears that oue of the convicts conceal
ed under his clothes some thin pieces of wood,
a piece of iron and a turpentine ball, and thus
smuggled them into his cell. The ball he
lighted by means of a match, fastened it to
the iron, which was appended to the wood, and
pushed it through a flue or vent in his cell, to
the rafters of that part of the prison.
it is probable that the entire building would
have been destroyed but for the early discove
ry. The attempt was a bold one, and the per
petrator implicates one of those concerned in
the burning of March, 1855. It is probable
that’ others were concerned in it.’
One of the Mistakes.
The story subjoined was tohl of one of the
heroes of Doniphan’s California baud, at a re
cent festival in Sacramento. It presents the
most amusing exhibition of simplicity, we
have ever uoticed. Jake Grooms is the nmn
that made the mistake of asking for the tune
on the four-post bedstead:
“He had come to the country among the
very first whites, in early childhood, and had
never known anything ofthe luxuries of civili
zation. After awhile emigrants began to tlock
| in. and among others was a family who
brought quite an assortment of furniture, and
among other things, a piano forte. The fame
01 . t,u ® new-fangled musical instrument was
noised about and produced great excitement:
it reached Jake’s ears. Some time afterwards,
passing the house, lie thought he would call
and see them. Jake was received by the lady,
in the absence of her husband, with great po
liteness After sitting some time, he looked
around tor the piano. Against the wall stood
an enormous, old fashioned, four-post bed
stead, the curtains to which were drawn.
Jake had never seen such a piece of furniture
betore, and concluded that this must be the
piano. Pointing it out, he told the lady that
he litid understood that she was very skillful
in performing on that kind of an instrument
and would he very much obliged to her if she
would favor him with a tune.”
From Blackwood's Magazine.
A London Dog-Stealing Story.
A celebrated painter of animals in London
had painted the portrait of a splendid New
foundland dog, but lie strayed or was stolen
a- he was returning from his lust sitting.—
His owner was inconsolable; but knowing the
distinguished artist s large and intimate ac
quaintance with persons who confidently con
cern themselves with other people’s dogs, re
paired to him for advice, and authorized him
to offer ten pounds reward for tlie recovery of
the missing favorite. The artist soon put
himself in communication with one of his
“dog fanciers,” who asked him what kind ot
dog it was? “Why,” says lie, “look here:
tiiis is liis picture. Should yon know him
again ?”
Tlie fellow gazed at the vividly faithful rep
resentation for a minute or two intently, and
then said : “J thinks I’sc got him now; 1
shall ku.ow him if T. see him. But what’s the
reward ?”
“Ten pounds.”
“Wery ’ansome indeed, and worth a little
trouble , but such a prime hanimal as that ’ero
will cost a deal of trouble to get hold on, such
uncommon care is taken on ’em by them as
lias got ’em. Howso’cr I’ll do my best;” and
ugain he glued liis eyes on the pictured dog,
and then withdrew
A month elapsed without tidings of the
missing teu-poundcr, but at length, in the
dusk of the evening, the artist was summoned
into his painting room and there found liis
confidential agent. “Well, Bill,” quoth the
former, “any news about the dog? I have
given it up!”
“Oh, no, don’t sir,” was the reply, with a
wink. “I do really believe I’ve got him at last.
But is the tip all safe still, and no mistake?”
“Ay—have it any way you like.”
“It ain’t a check ?” asked his astute com
panion.
“No —a ten pound note, two fives, or sov
ereigns.”
“Well, sir, where that word’s said by a gent,
there’s an end of everything, so the clog will
be here in half an hour’s time, and a pretty
business I have had to find him.”
Half and hour’s lapse saw this little stroke
of busines complete, and the dog and cash
exchanged.
“Well, now, my man,” said the artist, “its
all over; and though 1 said I wouldn’t ask
you any question, I can’t help it, merely out
of curiosity. I give you my honor that I have
no other motive; and will take no steps at all
in consequence of what you may tell me. Did
I ever deceive you ?”
“No, sir, you never did.”
“Well, do you know who stoic him?”
“Quite sure you won’t do nothing if I tell
you ?”
“Honor, honor!”
“Well, sir, I was the chap as prigged him.”
“You!” echoed the great artist, with ex
panded eyes, uplifted hands, andagreat start.
“Yes, me, sir. I look’d the dog, and no
mistake!”
“Whew ! Well, but now I’m curious still to
know why you chose to be so long out of your
money—your ten pounds. Why not have
brought him back in a few days, and got your
£lO at once ?”
“ Cos, sir, you see, l sold un to an
other party for seven pounds, who took such
a liking to lie creature that I hadn’t the heart
to steal un from him till he’d had a week or
two’s comfort out on him ; but as soon as he
bad, l know’dhow to prig the dog. 1, as could
do it ouce, l could do it twice; and now you’ve
got what you want; but it sartinly sounds cu
rious, don’t it ?”
“Why, you consummate scamp,” quoth the
artist, almost splitting with laughter, “you’ve
got seventeen pounds out of that dog!”
“Yes, sir, that’s the figure, exact,” replied
the stolid Man of Dogs.
“Well, but, you impudent vagabond, if you
could prig a dog, as you say, once and twice,
you may thrice.”
“Well, sir, so 1 may; but this here dog will
be looked after unkimmiu close now, and I
shan’t run no risk. Besides, ‘honor among
thieves,’ yer know.” And with a wise look
the fellow departed.
Barnum and Jenny Lind.
Among the numerous proofs of good feeling
which have reached Mr. Barnum in his strange
reverse of fortune, none will be more accepta
ble to him than to learn that Jenny Lind has
not deserted him. The expression of her sym
pathy will increase the admiration that is so uni
versally felt in America for the Swedish Night
engale, and the memory of her “wood notes
wild” will be associated with the sweeter har
monies of a. heart alive to noble and generous
thoughts. We copy the following beautiful
notice from the Evening Mirror :
••Thou hast called me an angel iu moments of bliss,
And thy h i gel I’ll bo ’mid the horrors of this.”
Jenny Li id has addressed a letter to a friend
in this country, in which she speaks in the
warmest terras of Mr. Barnum, of whose re
verses she had heard, and says :
“ He, nor his, shall never know want while
1 have it in my power (which owing to the
goodncSs of Heaven, I have now*) to keep it
away.”
She says further, that the gift and charity
concerts given by her, while with Mr. Barnum,
all sprang from him, and that he persisted,
against her remonstrance, in giving her before
the public the entire credit therefor.
To such an extent have depredations on the
mails been carried iu the State of Missouri, as
to compel the Judge of the United States Court
now iu session at St. Louis, to bring the sub
ject to the notice of the Grand Jury, and that
body lias made an investigation. The Grand
Jury found that the mails are transported in
stages and hacks, in such a careless and unsafe
manner as to put all idea of security out of the
question. The provisions of the laws for the
security us the mails have been entirely disre
garded, and robberies are of daily occurrence.

Mrs. Partington’s Last and Best.
1 lie Boston Post perpetrates tho following
in a recent issue. It is by far the best we
have seen from the renowned Mrs. Partington:
Mrs. Partington, reading an account of a
railroad accident, was much surprised to learn
that the ocomotive had been driven off the
track by one of the switches. “She shouldn’t
have thought,” she said, “that the great iron
engine would mind such a little thing as a
switch.”
“Yes, but you must remember, mama,” said
ike gravely, “the locomotive has a tender be
hind.”
“Oh. that indeed,” replied the old lady, re
suming her paper, “well, you needn’t talk
about it, my son: go on with your lesson.”
