The Augusta Chror.iete and Sentinel ays, “ the Genera) Conference of the Method diet E|>iac»]«il Church of this country, which is held once in four years, bejjau Tuesday at Baltimore. The find General Conference of that body was held in the same city in 1796, when its 120 delegates represented a total mt^nbenihip in the church of 56,964- The Boston Globe says the present General Con- feience is composed of delegates from eighty conferences, and represents a membership of 1,580,599, which gives some idea of the growth of Methodism in this country in the list eighty years.” The Republican Convention of this State was convened in the City of Atlanta last week, and alter a tumultuous session of two days, adjourned sine die on Thursday about midnight. The platform adopted by this Convention, and which as a matter of curiosity, we will publish next week, as a parly document, shows the extent of Radi* cal desperation and in the language of the Atlanta Times, “ Liken as a whole for its paity \ iruleuce and perversion of the trutli of history, and of the ) resent condition of thiugs at the South, is without a parallel.” This pronuuciainCuto is but a forerunner oi what we may expect from the Republican party in the approaching Presidential cam paign TILDEN AT HOME. The Democratic Convention at Utica, New York, made a most Conservative pre sentation of Gov. Tflden’s claims for the Presides ial nomination, ill the following resolution: . “The Democratic party of New York sntrgcst, with respectful deference to their bretluren in other States, and with a cordial appreciation of other renowned Democratic statesmen, faithful like him to their princi ples o public trusts, that the nomination of Samuel J. Til den to the office of President would insure the vote ot New York, and would be approved throughout the Union.” Tlie Democracy -of the political Empire, as New York claims to be, evidently bear* in mind the fact that the last three Demo cratic candidates chosen from their State, liave in each instance, led the party to de feat. While New York is justly proud of the record of her Governor and would like to see him put forward by the St. Lout- Convention for the Presidency, still, she risely leaves it for some other State to force bis claims upon the party. Ohio will hardly assume the responsibility with Thurman in the field, notwithstanding, in the three instances allndcd to, she had more 'to do with putting forward the New York candidates, than did theStateof New York. Whether the Conservatism of New York will strengthen the position of Governor Tilden liefore the St. Louis Convention, or whether this wise and patriotic course, to gether with the evident confusion in Ohio, will make better tbc chances of Hendricks and Bayard, remains to be seen. As to what will be the solution of the political problem which will be presented to the National Convention, cannot be fore told. Trusting to the wisdom, the patriot ism and the statesman-like conservatism of that body, we can only wait in patience •‘to see, what we shall see,” and “ to know, what we shall know,” in regard to the Presidential enigma. tion of puhiie spirit and love of country. I It is too evident that n< thing of this kind j is to be exp cte and iliat the Presidential j contest of the Centennial year is to be [ waged with the same intense and^selfish ‘ partisanship which debases and vulgarizes our ordinary party struggles” We see by the North Georgia Citizen that Mr. Robert A.

It is _ _ aspiration?, exceedingly doubtful whether he will be able to control a majority of the Ohio delegation majority o If he does not, the list of aspirauta will aspiraui tain one less uame.” Mr. Thurman lias not the ghost ot a chance for getting a solid dele gation from Ohio. It is extremely doubtful whether half the delegates will be appointed in his interest. It is believed in Ohio tl his treacherous apathy in the last campai assisted the friends ot Mr. Tilden to def Governor Allen, and his popularity is stead ily on the wane. Unless he is backed by the united vote of his own State he will not tench bottom at St. Louis. NEW ENGLAND PURITANISM. Parson Moody and Civil Rights.

It a came Ge good nothing gives greater strength thereto, than theexeuiseofjiroprie- tv ou the part of its friend.-. Any cause, even the holiest may suffer more from friemls who «xenit-e zeal wit hunt propriety, and devotion without dL-cretion, ti.an from eue mies who are in «i|>en hostility. Tims, hav ing laid down a proposition which cannot lie gaim-ayed and coming at once to the .-ul jec 1 matter uud. r consiileration, we assume the re-pon.-ihility ot stating, that, the recent im propriety on the part of some of our g >oii and will meaning citizens in inviting Mr. Moody the gnat New England evangelist or revivalist to visit Athens, is, or was, only cancelled by his declining to accept the in vitation. Far be it from our purpose to say that which would in the slightest degree dampen the religious ardor or zeal of those friends who were induced to extent this in vitation. But with so many good and able advocates of the cause ol Christianity among our own people, and boasting a community, peculiar, by reason ot the absence ot tbai enthusiasm which would lend them to run wild or imprudently after strangers, we must express our regret, (and we apprehend we are not alone in this lecling >, that a delega tion should have been sent all the way to Augusta to insist upon Mr. Moody’s visi ing Athens It may be asked, wherein con sists the impropriety of this invitation? Not that we question for a moment the sincerity, the religion or the honesty of purpose of this, traveling revivalist, nor do we doubt hl- ahility for doing good in his particular f| here aud in his proper place. But is it i.ot casting a reflection upon, or showing a want of confidence, in the religious ageneits- with which we are so fortunately supplied? From the peculiar characteristics of our peo ple and the particular sentiments which they entertain, are not our own preachers more likely to imj ress them religiously, than Le who is a stianger, es|iecially one who held the |io>ition of Major in the ranks of those who so recently were arrayed against us in unrighteous aud sauguiary conflict? Hail Mr. Moody voluntarily conte in our midst theu, with a commendable spirit of forgive ness which is but a true sentiment of relig ions impression, “as a stranger, we should have taken him in,” and as an evangelist, we should have liecded hs admonitions. This would have been in oliedience to divine iujuctioii, but nowhere are we commanded to run or seek alter strangers. Let us rather avail ourselves of the gospel agencies with which wc are blessed, and with a proper ap plication of the wholesome influences with* which we are surrounded, we will ex|*rienre no lack a religious interest or feel the ne cessity of foreign evangelical advocacy. P. 8.—Since writing the above we liave received a communication from Augusta signed “Omega” which we elsewhere present and -to which we respectfully cal! attention. The writer of this commu nication' is a gentleman well known in this community, and to establish, beyond doubt, in the miud of every one. thealoolute correctness ofthestatements therein contained, it would only be necessary to give the name of the author. In reading this commuuica lion the thought at once forces itself upon our stud, is it not mare than likely that our Radical haters and oppressors at the North have sent this man in our midst for partisan purposes and political deviltry ? Such sentiments as he is said to entertain aud is seeking to promulgate in our midst tre well calculated to lead us to such a con clusion. We have heretofore advised, that our people should not allow themselves to be entrapped by such diaboli cal schemes of our pul.tical enemies, thereby furnishingjpolitical or party capital for Unprin cipled-Radicalism. But when the cause rl Chii-tirnity, the Holy religion of Christ, I- sought to be made a means or medium through which to advance unrighteous, un principled, Mgpmstitutional and government destroying dogmas, then we feel no longer a hesitancy in speaking out our views and sentiments, and together with a common. Failure of the Compulsory Educa tion Movement in England, A London correspondent to the New York Wo rid, reports the bill of Mr. Dixon for ex tending the present school-board system into all the counties, as defeated by a large majori ty. The writer says: “ At the bottom of this revubion of feeling conctrning «duration i>, perhaps, to lie tnuuri the revived faith in the dogma that the father of a child and not the State is its proper guardian. Combined with this is the growing opinion that “edit-, lion ” is not, in itself, a blessing, and that all depends upon what sort of an education tion He might have added that at the liottom of this revolution in the educational express ion of EnglaiM is to be set n a revival of that -ectarian or denominational sentiment which controlled the educational as well as every other interest of the kingdom, during the reig:; of James the second. The TForM’s correspondent continues: ‘‘There is one stubborn fact w hich certainly is worthy of some consideration by the enthu siastic advocates of universal education, and it may be thus stated: There never was a time when wliai it called “education” was so general as it now is. and there never was a tune when wickedness was so generates it now is. The wickedness, also, is just ot that type which education of the school - hoard kind makes easy. It is the wicked ness of |«ople who have lieen taught just nouuh to make them discontented, impa tient of proverty, unwilling to follow the old and safe paths, eager to accomplish in an hour, by a trick or a fraud, what their fa thers would been glad to achieve by years of self-denying toil. However, it need not be supposed that any retrograde steps in the matter of education in England are to be at tempted. But it is the iulention of the present Government to put a break on the eugine and to do what is possible to check the somewhat arrogant demands of the se cularists. The school boards for the last two years liave Been acting as if it were their* mission to crush out the denomination' al and private schools, and to set up a sys tem ot state institutions into which every child must be driven. This attempt to place the abstraction called “thestate” in the domain hitherto held by tne parent and hy the church, is to be resisted, and the denomi national aud private schools are to be en- couraged instead of being threatened with extension.” This change of opinion in regard to the school system, ot England, is of no small -iguiflcance, and underlying it all may be the gathering-storm of Catholicism which again may set aside the oath of supremacy in Great Brittain and supplanting the power of the King, assert tho supremacy of the Pope in the ecclesiastical aud secular govern ment of England. The New York Herald in an editorial on ‘‘Presidential Politics,” aud in which it ably and forcibly seta forth the fact that he Centennial anniversary will prove rather the celebration of political enthu siasm than historical sentiment, the present asserting its supremacy over the past, the absorbing interest of a Presidential contest eclipsing- the memories of tho Revolution, gives utterance to the following rather pa triotic sentiment: “Aside from tiiis want of consonance be. tween the modem and the liio rieal, and lietwecn the cosmopolitan and the national tone of a raiment, it is iinfortannte that the Centennial of onr Independence happens to 'all in the year of a Presidential election. A heated political canvass which kindles the passions, jealourie^and latter party ani mosities of our people is not propitious to •t revival of that common feeling of patirot- ism which ought to be excited by the ser vices of the Cithers of the Republic. If there were public virtue enough to hash partisan strife during this interesting anni versary, the Presidential election of 1876 would lie indeed a noble and inspiring spec tacle. .Wliat strength and animationVonld lie imparted to patriotic sentiment if this i’residential contest conld be conducted in the true spirit of tile anniversary! What,a healing effect it would have onHhe public mind if the Centennial year could be an Auoubta, Ga., May 6th, 1876. Editor Athens Georgian:—I have seen a number of paragraphs in the Augusta papers and elsewhere to the effect that Mr. Moody had been urgently invited to visit Athens be fore returning North. Ol course the people of your city will do as they see fit in the mat ter, and it may lie that the “Evangelist” will be induced to honor you with a call. But as your citizens may not be as well post ed in regard to this gentleman’s antecedents and present political sentiments as we who have had him among us for two weeks past, I propose to submit a few facts upon this subject for the consideration of your readers. Without further preface, then, I will state that Mr. Moody is a Radical. Now Mr. M’s views upon political questions, however un popular they may be with the Southern people would, perhaps, furnish no legitimate cause lor censuring the preacher, provided he kept hie sentiments to himself. But un-. fortunately that is just what lie doesn’t do. He has made himself obnoxious to our |ieopie on several occasions by thrusting upon them his peculiar ideas in regard to the relations of tho white and black races. This he has usually done adroitly and by insinua- But on one orca-ion, al last, he came out boldly and shewed himself in his true colors. Soon after Mr. Moody’s arrival io Augusta, open-air meetings w« re held whit h were largely attended by the colored popula tion as well as the whites. It soon proved exceedingly disagreeable for the latter to be suudwiched among their black neighbors. It was then decided hy a committee of which one of our Methodist pastors (a distinguished ex-Confederate officer) was chaiitnan, to es tablish a practical color line in the shape of a dividing fence. Mr. Moody objected to this, saving “ there was no such division in heaven and there should be none here.” The pastor told him our people were not ac customed to mingling promiscuously with the colored people and couid not be induced to attend unless arrangements were made to separate them. Whereupou Mr. Moody re marked : “ I see you liave not overcome the spirit of rebellion.” To which the pastor re plied ; “If opposition to social equality, means rebellion, then we don’t expect to until v e die.” As might be supposed the reverend gentleman who had this conversation with Mr. Moody has participated as little in the subsequent meetings as was consistent with tiis clerical office. I have related this incident substantially as 1 gut it from a most reliable source. A strong effort has been made to hush the matter up, hy those who were instrumental in having Mr. Moody invited to Augusta. But the facts are gaining circulation; and much indignation is felt and warmly ex pressed—especially by the young men. Many of the older people say they do not like the man or his political principles; but rather than throw a “ stumbling block” in the way ot any one’s salvation, now that the meetings are in progress, they will suppress their feelings. As far as I am aware, nothing more can be charged against Mr. Whittle than tliat he was au officer in Sbei man’s array when it passed through Georgia an its “ March to the Sea.” Some writer in one of our city papers hinted that as Angusta was blessed with a number of faithful and able local preachers, the section desolated hy Sherman’s army offered a more appropriate field for Evangelistic labors. Up to the present moment, the hint has not been acted upon. As. to Mr. Moody’s preaching, the people here are generally greatly disappointed in him. He baa a rapid, energetic delivery: is fluent, sometimes forcible and nearly al ways ungrammatical. He has a. great fund of anecdotes taken from Sunday School bi.oks, some of which are jocular and others serious. These he manages uP bring in wheuever the attention of his audience he- S *n» to flag. But unfortunately for Mr. <>ody nearly all of the anecdotes upon which he reiieaen much, have been told until they have become stale, bv the numerous Evangelista from the North, who have visited Augusta within the last two years. It is said be goes hack to the land of his fathers on Monday, unless Athens can offer sufficient inducements for him to tarry there awhile. Omega.
