Shooting nt Jacksonville.
The News published a long account of
the shooting of Mr. Alex DeLyon iu
Jacksonville, by Johu Nolan, formerly
of this city, but uow a policeman iu the
first named city. Nolan will be remem
bered as the man who killed Grogan
some time ago, and was twice senfenctd
to the penitentiary, but through some
technicalities of the law was released.
Mr. DeLyou is a gentlemanly young
man, and knowu as a quiet and inoffen
sive citizen, and is quite popular in
Florida. Nolan narrowly esciped lynch
ing by the mob. The case was examin
ed before Justice Sampson in Jackson,
ville, the result of which we have not yet
seen.
Nashville Conventloa.
The convention met at the City Hall in
Noahvilleon Wednesday atl2o’olock. Judge
Gibbs of Arkansas was choaen President,
Judge J. M Simms and W. A. Pledger Esq., of
Georgia were elected Vice President and
Secretary respectively. The meeting is bar"
montous.
Proposed Establishment of a Quarterly Re
view.
Rev. B. T. Tanner, D. D., E liter ol
the Christian Recorder calls upon the en
suing General Coufereuce. of the A. M
E Church to legislate lor the establish
ment ol a Qiiartely It-view, to be under
the auspices of the said church.
We think the suggestion wise uud
timely. The A. M. E. Church ranks
among the most prominent religious
organizations of the laud and has almost,
if no‘. a couple of scores of B. D’s, B. A s,
A. M’s, D. D’s, and LL. D’s,iu her minis
terial ranks. These dss'inguished pre
lates, with a host of other Reverends and
Protessors, who stand high in tho lite
rary world, should, at this enlightened
period, be the creators of thought, anil
» arntimem two valuable to be lost.
While “The Christian Recorder," the
chief organ of that church, is a valuable
depository of the able contributions
which it weekly sends out to the world,
it by no means has that preservative
character that a Quarterly would whioh
could bebonud in hook form. Bbould
t in- i„ 1 c : aaaSaMbaban
“Q'tarJely Review," we would advise
th.it its columns be free to the colored
literati olall orthordox religions deuom
inntions. This would elicit the best
colored pens in the religious world, aud
the said Quarterly Review would become
the medium of handing down to posteri
ty, (he great thoughts, and argumenta
tions ot the day, which too Irequeully,
when published in news papers, are
thrown into the scrap basket, or used to
kindle the fire, and torever lost.
Such a Review would also make an
era iu the progress of the A. M. E
Church, and would be wor.h the assem
bling of the General Coufereuce, it
nothing more was said or doue.
We do not claim to be able to dictate
to so grave an assemblage, as will com
pose the said General Coutereuce, but
we endorse the suggestion thrown out
by oue ot the prominent divines, who
will, doubtless be a member ot that as
semblage.
Kmma Rhodes forced to mako a false state
ment.
We yesterday visited the jail, and through
the courtesy of Mr. Russell the jailer were
permitted to converse with some of the priso
ners. We conversed with Emma Rhodes eon-
fined as a witness for the State, against Prince
Roberson et. ah, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Cochran in Eflinghalh county lately.
Emma is about 15 years old. and she has
made a statement under oath that about the
first of March, under threats of whipping and
hanging, she was forced in order to save her
life, to make a Statemen that she saw Amos
Bines giye her uncle Roberson a pistol on the
day Mrs. Cochran was killed, The party who
was guilty of this outrageous proceeding wero
all white men living in Effingham. The girl
tolls a plain story and evidently knows nothing
whatever of the recent murder of Mrs. Caoh-
ran. No niAn’s life is safe when such despe
rate measures aro resorted to obtain witnesses.
Space will not permit ns to speak of this
matter as its importaace demands, hut wo
will refer to it again.
Briefs.
A Grand Centennial Supper, debate,
and general exercises in spelling will
fake place at St James Tabernacle on

17th instant. The club is composed of
the best vocalists in our city.
The Forest City Light Infantry was
compelled to pospone the drill and
target shooting last Monday, on ac
count of the Inclement weather, The
anniversary was celebrated in the hall
by the company. Due announcement
will be made of the drill etc., which
will no doubt be at an eaaly day.
The fair for the benefit of Asbury
Church has Iieen in successful operation
during he week. The room is taste
fully decorated and reflects credit on
the ladies in charge. Give them a call
to-night as it is your last opportunity to
do so.
