The Relief law.
It has boon a long while since a more pointed,
brief and readable conunnnication has reached
onr table than the following. It is a very hard
Mcl; and cast with force and accuracy:
Laches's Hill, May 4th, I860.
Editors Telegraph : I see something in yonr
last paper about tho “relief law.” That is right;
tho juries ought to be enlightened, by all means.
I used to think that all men in a Christian land
were morally bound to try to fulfill their prom
ises, in order to gire “relief” to their consciences
and to show some respect for the great Law-giver.
The relief law of Georgia opens tho door for all
men to keep from fulfilling their promises, and
many there be that go in threat. The question
for the jury to eonsider in the ease of the debtor
is, not what a man was worth in dollars and
centh at any given time, or what he has lost by
the casualties of war, etc., etc., but what ha is
worth in moral principle ? That is the question;
and if the jury believe that the man has moral
principle enough to feel the force of a moral ob
ligation to its full extent, then it is their dnty to
find a verdict for the full amount of the debt
No honest man can object to that But, if they
think the man is somewhat lacking in moral
principle, let them scale the debt accordingly.
For instance: if he has only 10 per cent of the
moral principle a white nun ought to have, let
him pay 10 cents in the dollar on his debt; and
if they believe he is entirely destitute of all
moral principle, let him have the full benefit of
it by cancelling the debt entirely, and then let
him go to the . This would be a new
plan of adjustment but I think a good one.—
“No State shall pass any eJ[post facto law, or any
law impairing the obligation of contracts.” And
seriously, I do think any man who reads the
Constitution of the United States is unfit to servo
on a jury in Georgia when the matter of “ I
promise to pay” comes before them. There nev-
was, and there never will be, but one straight
forward, honest way to get out of debt, and that
way is, to pay QUt, or get forgiveness from tho
creditor. Any other plan that can be devised
is mixed with frand in eveiy step. Fraud,
although it may have the sanction of the Legis
lature and of the Courts, it is nevertheless/roud,
and that, too, with such overwhelming endorse
ments, that the defrauded person has no law for
redress, no power to resist.
“ To err is human, to forgive is divine."
And since we are altogether human in onr
natures, the idea of forgiveness, as a rule, can
not bo entertained; you and I, and a few others,
might forgive and do no harm ; bnt to make a
general thing of it, would derange tho whole
system of trade. The Romans said, ‘let justice
be done if heaven falls.” "Where is tho Geor
gian with firmness enough to gay, “let justice
be done if the debtor falls?" Echo answers,
“where ?” And yet the sacrifice is but small,
comparod with that of the Romans. I sincerely
sympathize with tho debtor from my heart, I
do; but, in view of the present demoralized
condition of the country, I do feel more con-
corned about holding up the scales of
Justice.
Ref nrii ortlie Northern Excnrslonists.
A Herald correspondent from Washington,
under date of the 6th inst. Rays:
The party consisting of ex-Governor Ward, of
New Jersey, Col. Forney, Gen. Van Wyck, of
New York, and others, who started on a South
ern trip two weeks ago, have returned to Wash
ington. They went as far as Florida, stopping
at the principal cities and towns on the way. All
ooneur in the report that the industrial prospects
have improved: the negroes are working better
this year than last, and the whites generally
seem to be more industrious. The crops look
well. The people are anxious for Northern im
migration ; millions of acres of good land arc
offered for sale, and great inducements aro of
fered to capitalists. The party were everywhere
well reoeived, and the railroad companies provi
ded special care or trains for their accommoda
tion free of charge.
Western Dispatches.
New Yoax, May 7,1869.
Tho World says private dispatches have been
received from New Orleans, stating that tho
blockade-runners Pern and Lillian, engaged in
carrying fiUibnstcre from Now Orleans to some
point contiguous to the Cuban coast, have land
ed at the Island of Grand Inaqua in the Gulf,
Borne twelve hours by steamer from tho Florida
Keys, and tho fillibusters have gone into quar-
tern, and are waitincr for reinforcements.
The World also insists that the Aargo did sail
for Cuba with 420 men, eighty-four officers and
General Jonrdan. Among the officers were
BrigadieT General Charles May; Lieutenant J.
F. Magill, of tho British Artillery; Lieutenant
Edward Berre, French Cavalry ; Major George
Inman, Seventh Rhode Island Infantry; Captain
T. C. Bailey, formerly of Fifth United States
Cavalry ; Lieutenant Thomas Fitzgibbons,
Quartermaster; Major E. B. "Martin, of the
Twentieth Pennsylvania Cavalry; Col. Warren,
Colonel Reed and Colonel Lester.
The World says that four vessels sailed within
three weeks, the first nndor CoL Johnson, taking
672 men; the second under Gen. Spinois, with
200 men; the third with COO men, and the
fourth under Gen. French, with 580 men.
The World says that within the last thirty-
three days we have positive information that 900
men havo left tho cities of Charleston, Balti
more and New Orleans for a point adjacent to
the Cuban coast and for the island itself; 2200
havo left the city of New York and 500 more are
now waiting to get off.
Adjourned.—The Baptist Convention ad
journed last night, about half-past eleven
o’clock, after a session of fonr days. It wi
most dignified, earnest and industrious body of
men, and during their short sesrion have done a
large amount of work. Nearly all of the mem
bers take their leave of the city this morning.
We wish them safe and pleasant trips home.
Absconded. — The Savannah Advertiser of
Sunday, received the information by telegraph,
that Thomas F. Watson, General Ticket Agent
at Jacksonville, Florida, had suddenly left that
town with several hundred dollars belonging to
the Florida Railroad. He made for Savannah
and stopped at the Marshall House, and an offi
cer called at the hotel to arrest him, bnt instead
of going np to Watson’s room and doing so, he
waited for him to come down. He failed to do
so in a reasonable time and when search was
made the bird had flown.

Hymn.
Bev. Dr. Jeter, of Virginia, said he believed that
the great trouble with the country was. the mixing
up of religion and politics in our so-called religious
Conventions. He was glad that the prayer for the
country had been forgotten. He waa glad that they
failed to pray for the rules of the country or of any
country, and that they were so wrapped up in the
business for which they had met to forget every
thing else. 1
The half boor having expired the matter dropped.
Rev. Mr. Teague, of Alabama, requested that the
Chair be instructed to furnish a colored minister
from Selma, Alabama, with a return ticket to his

could postpone it for a year longer; and if you

■Bsr. Dr. Furman, of South Carolina, reported
from the Committee on African Missions.
The report stated that this Mission had not been
attended with any more success the past year than
the prececding one, but recommended that the work
boproaccutcd with unabated energy.
The report was adopted.
Tho hour for adjournment having arrived, a mo
tion to extend the time and a division was called for,
when the vote stood yeas 61; navs 24.
Bev. Mr. Reid, returned Missionary from Africa
offered some remarks as to the success of the mis
sion. He stated that the inarch of civilization was
rapidly progressing in Africa.. He had suffered
much m that land, but the Loid was there with him
to strengthen and encourage him. Christ was always
vnthhis servants, and he and his brethren went on
full of hope. He was ready to go again when the
Board said so. He wanted to go back among those
people who bade him farewell with tears in their
eyes. They sad to him, “Whiteman, come back
soon to ns. Don’t stay away long.” His heart yearned
I to go back, but we can’t go of ouraelves. We must
be supported, and by you. You must give us the
means to go and attend once more to the wants of
those people. Sustain and support the mission, and
though it is said that the country is not healthy, yet
if they went on improving the state of the people,
so many would not fall from disease when they
went there, because they would have homes to go
into and would not be so much exposed. His heart
yearned to be baric once more among that poor
African people which he loved so much, and he
trusted the Board would say, “Go, go and teach the
word of Christ to the poor benighted African."
The report was then put and adopted.
On motion, the Convention adjourned at 1 r. si.
The Chair requested that the toother would ob
serve order. Ha had failed to establish order on
Saturday, and though it was not intentional it was
nevertheless unpleasant and be gave notice that he
would stop the business if strict order was not ob-
Tbe resolution of Bev. Mr. Campbell to appoint a
committee on the expenses of boards which was un
der discussion when the Convention adjourned on
Bev. Mr. Wharton, of Alabama, objected to the
resolution and trusted that no brother would intro
duce a resolution which would tend to create suspi
cion towards tbs members of tho boards. He moved
to lav the resolution on the table.
Division was called, when the vote stood—yeas
78, nays 49. The motion prevailed.
Bev. Mr. Curry, of Alabama, reported from the
Committee on the China Mission.
The report returned thanks for the success of the
Mission. The idea of abandoning the field bad been
abandoned, and the barriers which stood in tho way
were fsat tottering. The Mission were frequently
appealing for reinforcements, and trusted that no
efforts would be wanting to aid the good.wot k which
was so prosperously progressing. i
Brother Curry stated that he bad a letter in bis
hand from sister Hartwell, of the mission, calling
attention to the education of Chinese women. In
consequence of the seclusion existing as regards the
women of the country, it was impossible for the
Missionaries to reach them, and it could only be
done by educating the women of tho country ‘and
reach them in that way. The feeling of tho people
there was, that woman was only created to drudge
and toil for man, but the glorious teachings ofthe
gospel was opening their eyes to the fact that wo
man is the equal and the helpmate of man. Of re
ligious as well as of worldly knowledge there must
be a general imparting between ono another, in or
der to increase and strengthen it,and he hoped that
the ladies of the country would take it into consid
eration and organize societies every where for the
purpose of supporting the good ladies who have
gone to China for so holy a purpose.
Rev. Mr. Williams, of Maryland, said that it was
one of the most important questions before them
and he hoped that due regard would be paid to it.
With us it is a question of extension or extinction
As a denomination they were very particular about
a commission. That commission included the whole
world. Ho held two letters in his band which be
read bearing upon the subject. He hoped the sis
terhood and the brotherhood would go to the help
and assistance of the Godly men and women who
bad torn themselves away from their families and
all that was dear to them to go to far off lands and
teach the unenlightened for Christs' sake. What
ever they failed to contribute to, he trusted they
would not fail to contribute to the Foreign Mission.
Bav. Ur. Broadns. of South Carolina, held iu him
hand a letter from China. The North Street Baptist
Church at Fung Chow, China, bad contributed more
than (100 Mexican Money for the mission, and he
was acting, by request, as their delegate to this
body. He read a translation from the letter, bnt
would not read the original for good reasons which
need not be stated. The letterwas written byacon-
verted native of the country, and expressed great
hope in the success of the Gospel in that county.
Mr. Broadus spoke at some length on the subject.
He sympathised heartily with those missionaries
who were abroad preaching Christ and with the poor
people who had been raised heathens, but who by
us bad been opened to the great truths of the Oos-
>eL Ho thought if he hod been raised a heathen
®y in i heathen land, nothing could keep him from
failing—nothing even hero—bat the grace of God.
He sympathised, also, with the missionaries in our
own country; for they, too, suffered: but tho mis
sionaries abroad, during the war and since, had suf
fered as none of us had suffered. These holy men
forgot their suffering and labors, and their only so
licitude was whether the crest cause for which they
had prayed and hoped and suffered would be allowed
to faiu. These men must be supported. It is better
that you and I should suffer than -that they should
be allowed to fail. We must reinforce them; and
bow is it to be done ? I would not give much for a
vote; but I ask you all to say in your hearts, “Yes;
they shall be supported, God sparing me;” and
when you resolve upon doing it in this manner, you
will and must succeed. He prayed them to remem
ber when they went home that a heathen church had
spoken to them, through a letter, that day, and that
the people of that church thought and felt as they
did and their hearts best in unison with our own.
He suggested that the letter might be inserted in
tho minutes, and that something be sent them in re-
Bey. Dr. Devotie, of Georgia, thanked God that
he had lived to hear such good news from China.
He was glad that the walls of China were being bro
ken down and that the Gospel of Christ was spread
ing in that land which was so long shut up from
"We had the pleasure of a call, on yesterday
afternoon, from Gen. J. W. Barnes and Mr.
Isaac Potts, from Middle Texas. Th.«/» gen
tlemen removed from Middle Georgia years ago.
' Gen. B., who visits Georgia for the first time in
thirty years, says he is pleased to see hi a old
country looting as well as then. So all the
cream of Middle Georgia is not yet exhausted.
John "Wi Fobnet, from Savannah, May 2d,
writes to the Philadelphia Press that “life and
property are to-day as safe in Georgia, Florida
and South Carolina as they are in Pennsyl
vania.”
Several well-known parties in Savannah wer,
arrested on Saturday last, and bound over by
Jndge Erskine for alleged frauds upon the Gov
ernment in the whisky ring business.
Rev. Mr.
in which people spoke about the civilization of China
strange. How were they civilizing her ? Christian
England was sending her Hastings and others there
to rob and plunder them. Christian England sent
her people here and taught tho red man bow to
drink the fire water. Even America herself stood,
to a great extent, disgraced before the people or
China, because the officers and men of the armvand
navy went amongst them and taught them to swear
by the name of the Lord. What must the people of
China think of Christian England and of America
when they sent amongst them what they called their
men of genius, and they heard thoeeverv men call
ing upon God to damn their souls. He thought that
it was the duty of the brethren to balance that mat
ter and to send Missionaries to teach them the re-
ligionof Christianity.
Bev. Dr. Boyce thanked God that tho missionaries
in China had been so snccesafuL
Bev. Mr. Williams, of Maryland, moved that they
indulge in prayer for the good tidings they had
heard to-day. Rev. Mr. Williams waa requested by
the chair to lead off in prayer.
The report of the committee was put to the Con
vention and adopted.
Bev. Mr. Poindexter, of Virginia, offered the fol
lowing resolution, which was adopted, with a slight
amendment.
The Convention met at 214 r. x.

Culpepper reported from

gates from tho various States, as they appeared in
Friday's Teleobaph.
The report was, on motion, adopted and ordered
to be printed.
Bev. Mr. Justice reported from the Committee on
Nominations as follows:
Your committee respectfully recommend that the
next session of this body be held with the Walnut
Street Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky., to commence
on Thursday before the second Sabbath in May, A.
D., 1870. That Bev. Dr. J. L. Burrows, of Virginia,

T. P. Liue,
H. A. Estes,
John H. Law.
The report wia adopted.
Bev. Mr. Selph reported from the Committee on
Extended Operations.
Bev. Mr. Phillips, of tho African Mission, said
that some decided action should be taken upon tho
African Mission. He wanted them to either aban
don it altogether, or to support it in the proper spirit.
They could not, after all the labors, exertions and
sufferings of the missionaries, abandon it. The Af
ricans in the country be had come from were more
intelligent than the negroes of this country. The
resolutions before them were very good, but if they
simply adopted them to-day and forgot them to
morrow, they might as well give up the mission al
together. He bad been to England and to Scotland,
but the people of these countries did not appear to
care about doing anything for anybody outside of
their own country. He left f *
t them without being able
to get any money amongst them, and found that ho
bad to come bade to lus own country, for ho felt
that be would find sympathy there; but even hero
be does not find the sympathy and zeal which he
had anticipated. Some persons went so far aa to
say “give it up." Well, ho did not think it would
be tho way which men determined to work should
do, and bs treated that so fine a field of labor would
not bo abandoned.
Bev. M. Devotie apoke against giving up the Afri-
Besolved, That Bev. J. A. Broadus, bo requested
to prepare a brief statement of the facts connected
with the letter from North Street Church, Fung
Chow, China, for publication. That he also be re
quested to prepare and send to said church a letter
expressive of our gratitude to God and exceeding
pleasure at the reception of their letter; and that a
copy of the proceedings of this Convention also be
forwarded.
Bev. Dr. Fuller, of Malyland, reported in part,
from the committee on the death of the late Dr.
Manly.' The report expressed deep regret for the
loss of so able and pious a man, and was unani
mously adopted, upon which the committee asked
leave to sit again.
Bev. Dr. Burrows, of Virginia,moved to take from
the table the reeolution relating to expenses of
boards which had been laid on the table.
The motion prevailed by a vote of yeas, 67—nays,
37.
Dr. Barrows said that he and the board to which
he belonged courted investigation and he hoped the
committee would be appointed.
Bev. Mr. McIntosh, President of the Domestic
Mission Board, in behalf of that Board, reiterated
the language of hiq brother Boitowb.
Rev. Mr. Henderson, of Alabama, was opposed to
the opening up of such a question. Who was pre
pared for ventilating the matter and to exhibit a want
of confidence in the Boards in which they had so
much confidence ?
Bev. Dr. Campbell, of Georgia, denied that he
had any want of confidence in the members of the
Boards when he offered the resolution. He simply
wanted to haye an explanation as to rite manner in
which the business was conducted. He had as much
confidence in the members of the Boards as any
body else, but he thought that if the committee was
appointed it would do them more harm than
good. He thought the matter waa a very important
A member proposed to make up (150 now for the
fission.
Bev. C. H. Byland spoke against abandoning the
Africa, and asserted that to abandon that
would be to leave Jesus elono there.
Bev. Mr. Phillips was very glad to find so much
icouragement. and ho felt like shaking hands with
them, and saying. “ Good bye, brethren, I am go
ing to Africa.’’
The report was adopted.
Mr. Connor, of Georgia, reported from the Com
mittee on the report of tho Sunday-school Board.
Bev. Mr. Dudley thought the first paragraph ought
to be amended relating to the dispensing with its
Corresponding Secretary. He moved to amend by
inserting “that the Board be instructed to employ a
competent Secretary immediately.
llev. Mr. Broadus, of South Carolina, thought it
waa not wise to dictate to a Board.
Rev. Mr. Broadus, of Virginia, moved to strike
out the words “efficient and competent" aa they
might be construed to convey the idea that the for-
was not a competent

Bev. Dr. Jeter moved that the report of tho com
mittee be recommitted and that they be instructed
' i try and harmonize it with the report of the Board.
A lengthy but unimportant series of explanations
here ensued, after which the motion to recommit
was put and lost.
The report was then adopted as amended.
Bav. Dr. Boyce offered a resolution instructing
the Sunday School Board to prepare a full report of
all transactions since the last Convention, instead
of tbe report presented to this body.
The resolution was adopted.
Bev. Mr. Pentecost reported from the Committee
on tho Home and Foreign Journal.
Mr. Pentecost urged the necessity of supporting
this little sheet, as it was a veiy useful one.

the remarks of the last speaker.

sion was, on motion, extended.

Agencies, which, after some debate and slight

tions to the committee to prepare a new one.

ing the system ot persistent contributions in how
ever small sums.
He stated that that was the system adpoted by
the Catholic Church, and that Church owed its power
to the system of small contributions. It was pour-
inc a tide of millions for tho promotion of the
Catholic interest, annually, into this country by this
means. It was well to be taught by our enemies,
and he trusted that so good a practice would be
started by all the Sunday-schools m all the churches
in the country. Tho resolution was adopted.
