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 flowing. notwithstanding Congress has been at work for three months. The Treasurer has just reported the amount on baud at the sev eral depositories, on the 21st ult., at $24,886,- <K)O. 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 adelphia fire states the loss at half a million of dollars. .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. • A dispatch from Berlin, of April 10, says: “ T* ll ’ Russian government has already tak en steps to turn to account their late ac quisitions on the Chinese frontier. The river Amour is now being surveyed, and is intended to be made the channel of vast commerce with England and America. Petropaulowski will probablv not be re-es tablished.” 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. A small keg, bound with brass iioops, tilled with gold pieces to the amount of 1,000,000, (probably francs,) believed to have been a French mi.itary chest, buried there in the } 0,11 1810 t j hide it from the Russian Cossacks, has been found by a peasant boy near Scwez, on the Vistula. 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.” Quaint and Beautiful Proverb.
