It was requested by delegatee from
Forsyth that time be allowed that city
to make a formal proposition.
Rev. G. A. N initially asked the same
privi ege for the city of Rome.
It ia understood that both these cities
are ready to make very liberal proposi
tiona to tbe convention, both being
anxious to secure the location of the
college. It ia rumored that Forsyth
will offer ten acres of line land, a col
lege building already built, worth
$30000, and a large subscription to the
rndowment fund. Koine will, doubt
leaa, come up with a liberal offer.
The committee reported oulv the

of the church, and fifty dollars were
realized at once.
MERCER UNIVERSITY.
The report of the trustees of Mercer

Greensboro in FeLrtiary, and Mr. T G.
Burney, the treasnrer.died at his home

All the churches in the city were
occupied, in order to give all an oppor
tunity to hear

At the Baptist church a large crowd
assembled early, tbe aisles and all spare
room being completely filled by the
hour of preaching. Kev. John A.
Broad u#, I). V, president of tbe Green
ville theological seminary, filled the
pulpit. His fame as a theologian was
of course known to his hearers, and
they expected a great effort from him.
lie did not preach a treat sermon, but
far better—ne preached a sermon full
of unction, pathetic with the simple
story of Julius, and appealing, not to
tbe intellect, but going right
to the hearts of his hearers w.th
its biet-aed messages of truth and love.
The resurrection of Lazarus was the
theme, and the preacher introduced it
with a graphic description of Jerusa
lem and its surroundings, leading his
hearers out of the great city up the
steep, rock bound pallia tbe havior

young men of Jones county.
Considerable discussion rnon this
subject ensued owing to the fact that
no -nrntion was made of the Crawford
high school. It was explained that
Mercer high school was not mentioned
owing to the fact that there were ques
tions in tbe courts bt tween the mana
ger.* of thrt pchcol and the trustees.
This debate took up nearly all the
morning, being participa*e l in by eislit
or ten membersof the convention. The
legal tronb'es between the trustees and
their friends at I’enfiehl were lully
discussed,various plans being nropi so-
looking to their settlement. The gen
eral opinion seemed to incline toward
a fraternal arbitration of the matter in
suit in order to prevent anything like
a division in sentiment among the
denomination.
The report was at last referred to the
conrmittre on education, when the
convention adjourned to 21 p. m.

the moderator in the chair.
The executive committee made their
annual report. During the past year
they had seventeen young men under
their chaige who were sustained while
at Mercer university by the committee.
All these voung men are being trained
for the ministry. Three of them have
entered the Greenville seminary, hav
ing completed their course at Mercer.
The report was reft! red to a special
committee.
The report of the committee on Bap-
t’sl Ministers' saving fund was read and
oidared printed without referrence.
Kev. J. Barrow spoke in testimony of
the good that had been accomplished
by the fund.
A message of fraternal love was re
ceived from the venerable P-. Raker,
who is now lying at the point c f death.
On motion a menage of love with the
p:avers of the convention was sent to
the dying Christian. A collection real
izing about $40 was taken up and sent
to Dr. Baker.
During the greater part of the after
noon Rev J. G. Ryalls occupied the
chair and presided with easy dignity.
The ordei of business was suspended
and the report of the committee on
missions was read.
gXKCVTlVE COMMITTER.
The report proposed as a settlement
of all the difficulties arising from a
difference of opinion at to the manner
of conducting missions, U e establish
ment of an executive committee with
headquarter* in Allan a. This commit
tee ia to supervise the whole work,
appoint missionaries and distribute
funds. The committee will consul of

Hon. John H. James, Hon. W. L.

bus, and J. M. Wood, of Bsrnesvillc.
Thu plan seems to avemet with ap
proval of all the d fieri ng opinions.
However, a full and free discussion
u(«on the general work of missions fol
lowed the reading of the report, which
waa at last unanimously adopted.
The order of business wss suspended

A HlRb Day In Zion.
Gainuville, Monday, April 23.
The interest which has been felt in
the prwent session of the Baptist con
vention reached its highest point yes
terday. The crowd in the city we*
much larger ihkn it has yet been. Qui'e
a delegation came up from Atlanta
Saturday night to boar Sunday’s ter-
in one. Knrly yesterday morn it g the
raUirof wagonsaud bugniee was heard,
and a living stream poured in from tl e
surrounding country. The “square ’
true beauty. Many common erron
regarding tbe record and its characters
were correc-ed. Thomas, the so called
sceptic, was defined as simply sdespon
dent rnsn with a good, loving heart.
Martha wss shielded from the lmpuU-
tions usually cat: upon her character.
It was shown that the family were not
in humble circumstances,but possessed
of ample means and bolding high
social pjston. When the »t;ry was
told three simple lessons were drawn
from it. First, we must, in these days
of materialism, cherish the miracles as
a great stay and help of our faith.
Second, we must get nearer to Jenna by
reading the gospels more. 'I bird, we
— acting just as the Jews did who saw
i wondrous miracle and went off
scoffing and reviling Christ.
Then the sermon was done, and it
left the congregation, many in tears, all
impressed with Uie sweet story told so
simply, so sincerely, by one who felt its
power and communicated to all who
hesrd him. It seems to in * nntheoh g-
ical mind, that one such sermon, wim
its blessed lessons and pure in
spirations, is worth for the r*u*e
of Christ, all the doctrinal
discourses and philosophic pulpites
says that were ever jtoured on ihe
drowsy ears of a congregation. That
preaching is the Wst which finds the
heart, and the serin on that only de
lights the intelhct hits lost its soul sud
i nglorv. Many who heard Dr. Broad-
Ins felt that iu that old story a new
beauty hail been found, and that it
was good io hear such a full hearted
explanation of its rich meaning.
Measured by the e ffect it had upon
those who heard, and the lastiug im
pressions it most, likely created, the
seimon wss one of the most successful
ever heard. So simple from lieginiiiug
to end that a child could grasp its
meaning, yet carry iug suggestions
which ran out far enough to engage
the profoundcst intelhct.
OTMEIt SERMONS.
In the Methodist chnrch a large con
gregation met to hear Kev. W. 11.
Davis. Dr. D. W. Gwiun preached to
a full congregation in the Presbyterian
church, lu theafiernoou a children's
mass meeting, conducted in an inter
eating stylo i»y Kev. T. C. Boykin, was
very largely attended. Addresses w« re
made by Kev. W. N. Cbaudoiu, K *v.
M B. Wharton, Kev. T. C. Boykin, and
others.
At night a missi inary meeting w
held in the Baptist church. Key. J. B
Hartwell, who has spent eighteen >eara
a* a missionary in China, delivered »
most interesting Iccinrs on the ioa
{•ortanco of Christian work in that
country and the great ditlicuitieh at

sermon a collection for Uie Cninese
misdon was takeu up and realize*
almat $50.
Kev. A, J. Battle, I). D., President
Mercer university, preached at. night
in the Meth< dist church upon tne
story of Jacob’s d earn and the lesson*
to he drawn from it. A large congre
galion heard the sermon, and it
were the w *rk of incendiaries, eve~y

—Colonel M. Kugene Thornton
wants an “independent” daily in
Atlanta. The taste of the colonel
extremely fastidious, but tlie fact that
he has aimed this severe blow at our
interest will not prevent us from voting
for liim for the constitutional conven
tion.
—The jay-birel hath whooped, the
honeysuckle hath bloomed and sprirg
gallops upon the stage as suddenly, as
sweetly and crowned with as much
musical volubility as |*oor little Mrs.
Gate-.
—Several of our state exchance#
writing in favor of a convention, point
their arguments with allusions D the
necessity of repudiating the bogus
bonds. This is calculated to mislead
voters. The bond question is not now
connected with ihe c-wventior. It wil
lie settled on the first of May, and it
to be hoped the voters will turn out
enmasse aud ratify the amendment
—Annie te»gan is a right sensible
ittle girl. She says the t tony era Con
rier is one of the brightest local papers
in the state.
—Pendleton, of the Valdosta Times
will settle in middle Georgia one of
these days In this connection we
would call his attention to the fact that
the Madison Home Journal is offered
for sale.
—Mr. Robert Williams, of Buena
Vista, waa accidentally killed the other
day by striking his head against a piece
of timber.
—Frugal thieves in Wilkinson county
confine their operations to stealing
bacon.
—Hon. H. P. Bell, congressman elect
in the ainth district, says that a south

usurper of the presidency nor accept
office under him.
-Lumpkin Independent: We heard
yesterday of a calf that is certainly »
great curiosity. It is ol the Ayrshire
bleed and is owned by CkpLBrit Davis,
near Green Hill. At six mouths of
age the calfs udder became so large that
it wss milked and half a gallon of milk
obtained at the first milxing. The ca.i
9 not a yet a year old, is
not weaned and is milked regulari\
twice a dav. The milk is used LeeK
by tbe freedmen on the place, wlio pro
nounce it very palatable. Our inform
ant states that Captain Davis proposes
to test the milk shortly in order to
ascertain if it will mike butter. We
deem this the moet remarkable freak
«f nature of the kind that ha* ever
happened in the stare of Georgia. If
there ever wa« a similar case, we wemd
like to hear of it

broke out on Thursday morning

with distressing results. It originated
in the store occupied bv Mr. John

to secure a public opinion less unfavor
able to such concessions as were indis-

In obtaining such a legislature?, and
such a general acquiescence in its au

we have had full conferences with the
gentlemen who claim the gubernatorial
office, and with many other members
of their respective governments in
their executive, judicial and legislative
departments, we have also

membersof the family ieceuty \i ited

been »daic ed to gussiplng—leuing out,
aucenscious y, some white house secret;-.
I am infornieil that Mr. Hayes confer cil
ia a social chat that siuce hU eyes have
been #pemd about the real status of
affairs ij Loui-iana he has begun to en
tertain sen tous doubts whether he is not a
usurper, and that he remarked to one of
his most intimate adviseis, “If I recog
nize Nicholls os governor of Loui iana,
1 do not see liow I can consistently hold
the office of prsrident. It will be lrerd
to make the country believe that 1 am
any more entitled to the electoral vote of
Loui iana than Packard U to the gover
norship. If N.cholls to tins lawiul gov
ernor, then I have no claim to the electo
ral rove of that state.” 1 he reason Mr.
Hayes sent a commissiou to Lnui Inna
anu did not send one to Sou h Can dins
is obvious. He wiriied to shirk the le
sponsibilnyas toL- uisions. He knew
tnat u congressional committee had look
ed ioto the Sourii Caro ina muddle, and
had concluded that Hampton had receiv
ed^ majority of votes for the g vernwr-
hbip, otd lhat Hayes had a majority of
electoral votes. So the bastard president
had nothing to lost by deciding to send
a ccmmi-sion to Sou h Carolina. He
could turn Chomberlsia cut with impu
nity.
And here c< mis the g'sslpy part of
the stor/. Mr. Hayes is troubled br-yood
expression about the L utoivua muddle.
He fear* Packard and tha extre me wing
of the repub ioto party. His conscience,
too, is truubli' g him, and he already
rec* geizes that the lig*l government ot
I. -ui iana is democrat c, and that Tilden
is entitled U the electoral voic cf the
stat c. lit ye* actually talk* of resigning the
prc*ithncy. He has not mode any prom
inent spp iotmente, nor has he puraued
a radical course of p licy, because h
docs not feel that he i* a legal or a law
ful execurive. Hie ppllicy of reconcilia
tion ia for policy, and nothing more. I»
the commission in L- u<liana deci le that
Nicholls is the lawful governor, they
m y not decide whom the eleotoral Votes

TBE PACKARD SIDE.
Governor Packard -we shall speak
of both gentlemen by the title tbey
claim—was at the state house with his
legislature and friends and an armed
polhe force. As there waa no quorum
in the senate upon his own theory of
the law, hia lopslatore was necessarily
inactive. The supreme court
which his recognized his authority had
n )t attempted to transact any business
since it waa dispossessed of its court
room and tho custody of ita records ou
the 9-h day of January, 1877. He had
no organized militia, alleging that bis
deficiency in tbat respect was owing to
his obedience to the orderacf President
Grant to take no steps to change the
relations of himself and Governor
Nicholls. His main reliance was upon
the alleged legal title, claiming that it
was the constitutional duty nf the
president to recognize and afford him
such military assistance as might be
u< cessary to enable him to assert his
authority as governor.
ONE-ARM KD FRANK’S STAND POINT.
Governor Nicholls was occupying
the Odd Fc’lows hall as a
state honse. His legislature met there,
and was actively engaged in tlin busi
ness of legislation. All the depart
ments of the city government of the
city of New Orleans recognized his
authority. The supreme c >urt nomi
nated by him and confirmed by his
senate, was hoi J ing daily sessions and
had heard about two handled cases.
The time for the collection of taxer had
uot arrived, bat a considerable sum of
taxes had been voluntarily paid into
hia treasury, out of wnich he wag de
fraying tbe ordinary expenses of
state government.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The Nicholla legislature had a quorum
in the senate upon either the Nicholls
or Packard theory of the law; a
quorum in the house on the Nicholls
bat not on the Packard theory. Tbe
Packard legi-Iature had a quorum in
tbe house on its own theory of the taw,
Im. as already stated, not in the sen
ate, and was thus disabled from any
legislation that could be valid even in
the judgment of its own party.
Tbe commission found it to be rerv
difficult to ascertain the precise extent
to which the respective governments
were acknowledged in tbe various par
ishes outside oi New Orleana, but it is
safe to say that the changes which had
taken place in parishes after the or
ganization ef the governments on the
Sell of January, 1877, were in favor of
the Nicholls government.
THE STATUS OP THE COURTS.
The claims to legality of the supreme
court, composed ol Chief Justice Man
ning and associates, who were nomi
nated by G .v. Nicholls, and confirmed
by bis senate, rested upon the same
basis as the title of Gov. Nicholls and
his senate. The claim tole^dityofthe
.-upretue court competed of Chief
Justice L ideling and his associates,
rests either upon their right to hold
over in case the Nicholls court is illegal,
or upon the legality of the Kellogg-
Packard senate, which confirmed tbe
judges upon the nomination of Gov.
Kellogg, and while it had a returning
board quorum.
THE ORIGINAL ELECTION.
The constitution of the state of Lon
isiana requires that the returns of an
election for members of tbe general as
sembly shall be made to the secretary
of state. It aloO provides that the
qualified electors shall vote for govern
or and lientenant governor at the time
and place of voting for representatives.
The returns of every election shall be
sealed up and transmitted by tbe prop
er retaining officers to the secretary of
state, who shall deliver them to the
speaker of the house of representatives
on the second day of the general assem
bly then to be holden.
The members of tbe gen
eral assembly shall meet in the
honse cf representatives and examine
and count the votes. It will be observed
that this provision of the constitution
requires that the returns for governor
and lieutenant governor to be sealed
up and transmitted by tLe proper re
turning offices to ’he secretary of state,
snd the same provision is made in snb-
etanceas to members of tbr general
assemby, bat in 1870 the 1< gislatare
passed an act, amended in 1872, which
created a body called
RETURNING BOARD,
consisting of five members, to be ap
pointed by the senate, mod to be the
returning ‘Z. officers for all elec
tions in tbe states. Tne set provides
that tbe commissioners of election at
each poll or voting place shall coant
tbe votes, making a list oi the names
oi mil peraona voted for, and tha rffices
ior which tbe votes were given, the
number of votes received by each, ihe
comber of ballots contained in the box
and the number rejected, and the rea
sons therefor, and to make dupficatea
of such lists, and send one to the su
pervisor of registration ot the parish,
and one to the clerk of the district
court.and in theipariahof Orleans to the
secretary of stab-. The law farther re-
quires the super visor ot registration to
consolidate the returns received for the
(lifierent polling places and forward
them, with the originals,to this return-
irg board. Ihe act lurther provides
that if there shall be any not, tumult,
acts of violence, intimidation and dis
turbance, bribery or corrupt influences
at anv place within said pariah, at or
near any poll or voting ptac-, or place
of registration, or revision of registra-
tion, which nut, tnmnlt. acts of vio
