This Convention is not a jndicatory body—it pos

the Baptists of Georgia It Is simply an educational
aud missionary body, formed for the purpose of com
bining and encouraging the efforts of the Baptists of
of Georgia in those two great channels of usefulness,

through which most of the Southern Baptists operate,
in prosecuting Domestic, Foreign, and Iudian Mis
sions, encouraging and organizing Sabbath School
literature, and in spreading the Word of God. It has
under its control Mercer University of that State, at
Peufield, and the Uearn School, at Cave Spring, Ga ,

oil the Taat
to refuse auy modification of the test oath
although recommended by two of the execu
tive officers of the Federal Government, thc-
Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmas
ter General, as essential to the public in
terest. If is well known to those conversant
with public opinion at the South that con
scientious and honorable men can not and
will not take the oath in its present unquali
fied form. The effect will be that the offices
of the Federal Government will be filled by
the parasites and creatures of the Radical
party.
The policy of the Government will undergo
a radical change. The practice has hitherto
been that within the limits of the States
themselves these of^ces have been filled by
citizens who are familiar with the people 01
each neighborhood or locality. It would have
been deemed a gros3 outrage before the war
if. a citizen of Massachusetts should have-
been advanced to an office in Gesrgia. But
as citizens of Georgia can not be found who
will violate their consciences, in sufficient
numbers to fill the offices that are essentially
necessary to the due administration of the-
functions of Government, citizens of Massa
chusetts or any other Northern State, who
of course have no objection to taking the
oath, will be brought into Georgia or any
other Southern State, to execute those func
tion*.
The influence that belongs to official posi
tiou will be exercised by these functionaries,
in favor of their political friends, the radicals,
who by this means will accomplish two ends.
1. They will fill siune of the best offices at
the South with political sycophants. 2. They
will provide offices of profit for their de
pendents- As a means of preserving politi
cal power it presents the most convenient
agency, one that involves the least expense,
and avoids the clashing of authority between
the Executive and the Senate. The Presi
dent will not, of course, make a nomination
to office of any one who, having aided the re
bellion in any way, cannot honorably take
the oath. The consequence will be that, to
bave the duties performed, he will be com
pelled to nominate some one who will eutcr-
tain no scruples on the subject of the oath.
In this way nearly every official po iliou at
the South will be occupied, by what arc-
called loyal men, either at the South or the
North. The creatures of the radical party
will]te their bidding, and the fairest chance
wlft'fB presented of the perpetuation of po
litical power in the hands of the radicals.
The most radical of the radicals are op
posed to alt modification of the oath; Sum
ner in the Senate, and Stevens in the House,
view it as the great trumpeard oflheir party,
hr which thev will win the game of office- 1 ““ ue *? * avia tf Di th* 3 way, spite of the Preni-

binding force upon the different churches. The dele
gates generally are appointed and sent by Ihe different
Baptist associations of the State, which have connected
themselves with the Convention, which associations,
toemselves formed by delegates 6ent by individual
churches, are nothing but missionary bodies, on a
smaller scale. Each association sends up an amount
of money, designated for some particular channel and
the sum total is accordingly appropriated, as directed,
by the Convention. Each State lias its own Conven
tion which sends its delegates and funds to the South
ern Baptist Convention, by whieh the money as ex
pended through Boards appointed for the purpose.
That Convention now has three Boards—one of For
eign Missions—snd a Sabbath School Board. It for
merly had -a Bible Board, which was discontinued
during the war,
FOREIGN NEWS.
The Persia, which arrived at New York on the 19th,
with Liverpool dates of the 8th, brought the follow
ing news:
Prussian relations remained unchanged. Prussia
is reported^ have continued in an uncompromising
attitude. Tho Emperor of Russia, it is reported,
has sent two notes to the sovereigns, tendering
mediation.
Political sxcitement on the German question runs
high in Paris, and it is positively ^reasserted that
France is quietly getting an army of observation to
other and strengthening the garrisons.
The minor German States are arming.
Count Bismark is said to have declared the pacific
declaration of Count Kasolyl, on the part of Austria
insufficient, and Prussia will continue her arma
ments.
Another statement says he briefly replied to
Kasolyl’s note, justifying ilia movements of Prussia
ey those of Austria, but repudiating any idea of at
tacking Austria.
The Prussian reply to the Austrian nolo creates a
very unfavorable impression in Paris.
The reform agitation continued in England. The
et- nts of the last week have been demonstrations at I
Liverpool in honor of Mr. Gladstone.
Mr. Gladstone made two brilliant speeches, em- ■
phaticaliy declaring that the Government would stand !
or fall upon the question. He warmly eulogized
America, and pointed to the executions there in the
late war as a proof of the benefits resulting from a
crust in the people, and contended that England
should lesrn a lesson from it. Mr. Gladstone severely
denounced the Fenian designs against innocent
British colonies, and said if they carried out their
diabolical threats the whole power of England would
assist the colonies in defence.
Cyrus ’.V. Field returned in the Persia.
Tne pariB Momteur confirms the statement that the
mission of Baron Saillfidc to Mexico had been suc
cessful, and that arrangements for the reduction of I
the French troops have been made. It is hoped the I
u-rangements will gratify the Washington Govern- j
incut.
Rumors of ministerial changes are ggm-rent at |
Paris.
It is expected the Government majority on the re
form hill will exceed twenty.
The Paris correspondent of the Observer says }
France intends occupying Vera Cruz, Tampico, and |
tlici principal ports as a guarantee for the expenses
Wassn-OTOP, April *).—la the House Mr. Wilson,
from the JSSfehtry Committee, reported adversely on
the President's Message, suggesting s modification of
the Tea: Oath on the ground that if it were modified
those who took ptrt ir. the war against tbs Govern
ment would be In the enjoyment of official positions,
sed treason would not be mads odious.
Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, presented a minority
report stating that the peopla of the South ware loyal,
ana that it would be tyranny to exclude them from
participation in the Government. The Committee
was discharged from further consideration of the sub
ject.
A reeolation investing the President with authority
to take such measures as he may deem proper to pre
vent the introduction of the cholera into the United
States was agreed to.
The Army Bill was discussed.

is a sure instrument ol success, to keep the
people of the South from their right both ol
present and future representation. Sumcei
boasts of his cleverness in having contrived
this device. It is an achievement in politics
that will hand his name down to posterity as
truly Machievellian.
FOREIGN POLITICS.
Our attention is directed, with much anx
iety, to the state of the question between
Prussia and Austria growiug out of the con
troversy between them. If negotiation
should not be able to avert hostilities between
them—if mediation should not find a way to
compose their differences, and war should re
suit—the effect on our finances would be ot
a serious, and might prove, of a disastrous
character. If the United States were not so
heavily in debt, a foreign war would bave
little effect in disturbing our financial condi
tion, which depends so essentially on the pres
ervation of our public credit in Europe, Tin
first effect of a foreign war would be the de
pression of the public funds, and the unavoid
able reaction on securities of every kind of a
public character.' With the fall of consols
would be a corresponding decline of 5-20's,
and if the contraction-of credit is .considera
ble the return of numbers of these bonds to
be sold at their market value in Wall street,
and the proceeds remitted in gold would be
inevitable.
Such an event would produce a more than
corresponding contraction of credit in the
United States. There would be no pos9i
bility of adopting those preliminary mea
sures so necessary to a resumption of specie
payments, in the contemplation of the
Secretary of the Treasury. There would be
an increased demand for gold to pay some ol
our foreign indebtedness. The National
banks would be pressed for mercantile ac
commodation, and possibly, if Congress is
not in session an extra session may be called,
to devise means of relief either by enlarging
the- limit of three hundred millions
of dollars imposed on those banks, or per
mitting the Secretary of the Treasury to
issue an additional' sum iu greenbacks or
legal tender, to which he is restricted by
law. Instead of legislation imposing a
check to too rapid a reduction of the cur-
C'ongren Advised to Adjourn.
WcndsU Phillips is afraid of Congress, at the rams
time admitting that the sole reliance or the radicals
now is in that body. “ While that stands, we have,"
he says, political machinery to work with.” The
efforts of the radicals,*he declares, should be to avoid
any settlement of our sectional troubles. The true
policy he thus sets forth :
*- Our true policy is this: Let Congress plainly an
nounce its belief that no State lately in rebellion la fit
(o be re-admitted to Congress. Let it lay down the
principle that no one shaU ever be admitted exoept it
establishes universal or at least impartial suffrage, and
then let Congress adjourn.. Every day it continues in
session jeopards this greet cause. It may be bought,
bullied or deceived, All tends that way while it is in
session, exposed to Administrative influence. Oner
adjourned, let the lines be distinctly drawn, and go to 1
work to meet 1SU8 in earnest; the interval between
now ami the next elections, State. National cud Presi
dential, is none too long for the work. Tlie treason
of President Johnson, snd the impossibility of im
peaching him, leaves no hope of auy curlier setiio-
incut. It is just as well, and much safer, to acknowl
edge this. To adjourn and go to the people on this

The San Francisco Exploaian.
The frightful disaster which cesurred on the ltlffi r.j
April ui or near the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. ’s -
press, in thecity of San Francisoo, killing instantly
fifteen to twenty persons, and dreadfully injurin''
many others, destroying nearly a whole biotii
of buildings, and resulting in a damage of more
than two hundred thousand dollars, is, beyond any
doubt, the result of the explosiou of nit ro-glycerine
or blasting oil. ~ ' ’
According to the information taken hero (in New
York) the superintendent of a New York miuin" com
pany, whose office was in the building No. 26 Piue
street, whore also tbe office ot the New York Nttro-
Ulycerimr, or Blasting Oil Company is situated hud
seat, some weeks ago, to San Francisco, by the Pacific
Mail Company, several boxes of nitro-gjycerine
weighing about two hundred pounds, imported from
the factory of Mr. Alfred Noble, of liambur -, Ger
many.
It was intended to ssll this oil to the mining compa
nies in Nevada, Idaho and Colorado, the immense ex
plotting power of the new chemical compound offering
great advantages, not only in the saving of labor to
drill boles, but also in freight, because one pound of
this blasting oil does tbe same destructive work as
twelve to fifteen pounds of common blasting gun
powder.
The blood stirs if we think that the two hundreed
pounds sent by the Pacific mail Btsamer had exploded
.luring the sea voyage, tearing to pieces and burying
in the waves the eeven or eight hundred pass-ngers on
board. And could not the accident which took place
at the freight office of Wells & Fargo’s Company iu
t an Francisco, without any apparent cause, have hap
pened quite as well on board of the steamer which
oarried the mysterious snd dangerous freight.
The inventor aud patentee of the demoeratic com
pound. Mr. Alfred Nobel, a Swecdisb engineer an
swered our article on the Wyoming Hotel accident in.
a very good humored letter, stating that, according to
numerous experiments he and hundreds of miners
and engineers had made, his oil was without danger
of seif ignition, aud would even not take fire if in
contact with a burning match, requiring for ignition
a special ignitor, also the invention of the patentee.
But he seemed to ignore that a new chemical com
pound may be subject to quite uuforsiuu chemical
influence, under winch it may change iU character
completely-.influences of which science cannot think or
dream of, and which only long years of experiments
can bring to light. It may be decomposed by a con
stant contact with the tin cases of the glass bottles ; u
which it is transported, or by the intense beat in a
ship’s hulk in tropical climates; it may be affected to
other chemicals, or chemical vapors of goods store's

For it will be recollected that a financial
reaction iu Europe would be, in all proba
bility, the commencement of a panic in tbe
. United States, and the sign of which will be
the return of our public securities to be real
ized in gold and the proceeds remitted to
Europe. If this should unfortunately be ac
companied by a fall in the price of cotton in
Liverpool, the great regulator of its value in
Europe, the mischief of such reaction would
be greatly aggravated. The action of the
Bank of England would be immediately ieli
