L. B. Bates presiding. Af ter devotional exercises, Professor Wil liam Wells, of Union College, was intro dueed to address the meeting. He spoke on the subject of “Bismarch and the Pa pacy,” reviewing at length the train of circumstances which led to the rupture which exists between the German Gov ernment and the Papacy. He declared that to the school system of Germany more than any other earthly thing belongs the honor of the German success. In conclusion lie warned the people of the United States of the danger which is threatening them and their free institu tions from the Papacy. BPEFcn of uisiior haven. Bishop Gilbert Haven, in accordance with an invitation extended liy the preach ers’ meeting a fortnight ago, addressed tlieandieuce on thecondition of the South. He. said that there was one class of peo ple iu the South who had been recognized as a nationality by the Pope, and they would welcome his followers to these shores : but the race freed by the people of the North will never strike a blow against constitutional liberty. Bishop Haven said that there is to be a tremen dous political battle this year, beginning with the election of a Democratic Speuk- r of the National House of Representa tives. lie said that the ministers of Bos ton are in the field of battle ; tlieir words ire reported, and the Southern papers comment 011 them. The question is, ‘Shall the Northern people rule the na tion ?” “Shall the Puritan or the Cavalier be the ruler ?” “Shall Boston or Charles- ou be the centre ?” The Methodist Epis copal Church is the only institution in the South to-day that represents the Ameri can nation. You must, he said, stuud by your church. There are in the South nearly 300,OttO members of the Methodist Epis copal Church who know what they be lieve just as well as the people of New England, and better. They appreciate liberty and those who gave it to them ; they never will be betrayers, and let the people of the North never betray them. The malcontents of the South know that they were defeated by one man ; that man President Grant, and if the people throw him over at the command of poli- iciaus they will rue it. Pray, brethren, that President Grant may be elected. Pray for the true people of the South, and you will find that thus you will be able to keep down the kindred threatening pow ers, the slave power and the power of the Papacy. The Rev. Dr. Shearman, of Brooklyn, moved that the meeting vote that they had heard the sentiments advanced by Bishop Haven with great pleasure and hearty ap proval. This motion was unanimously adopted. All opposed were invited to rise, but no one person mse. There was great applause. MEAT IS SAID ABOUT IT. The New York Herald, commencing on the foregoing, savs : “Nov, if Bishop Haven were a Catho lic prelate this speech would have been hailed throughout the country with furi ous disapprobation. But the Bishop is prelate of the Methodist Church, of whir h President Grant is an ostentatious if not a sincere member. His church is one of the most powerful in this country. Vig orous in its discipline, untiring in it s en- rgy, closely in sympathy with the a rasses of our people, carrying its faith to the frontiers and planting its churches . amid every discouragement, Methodism repre sents iu the Piotestant religion tl lat mis siouary poselyting influence wb ich has given,Catholicism its marvelous j power. Nor do ‘we underrate the import: mce of a declaration in favor of a third M rm by a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopa t Church It shows that President Grant, when he made his extraordinary speech at Des Moines knew the sentiment to which he appealed. But we look upon tt .is decla ration of the Bishop as deplora ble from every point of view. It is a reflection upon his religion and an interf erence in our politics that we are sure w ill be re sented by the Methodists thems elves. If be supposes that Methodists tv ill, as a general thing, submit to be told by a cler- gviuan, even if he is a Bishop, w hose duty it is to win souls to Christ, that: .hev must vote one way or another, their sense of independence will rebel. The declara tion of Bishop Haven in favor 0 fa third term will give new color to the intrigues which have been on foot for som e time in favor of a third term ” The New York Sun remarks : ■* “Suppose a Roman Catholic C ongress, incited thereto by Cardinal Met ’loskey, should pass resolutions advising tl le elec tion to the Presidency of Tilden 0 r Thur man or anybody else, what a hoi .’1 there would be throughout the count# y, All BAINBRIDGE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY DECEMBER 23, 1875. * N umbel 12. good Protestants would despair of the State unless they banded themselves to gether to destroy the Papist. Yet here a Bishop of the more powerful Methodist communion, supported by two hundred of its ministers, urges the re-election of Grant! W e know of nothing in the histo ry of our religious bodies, Roman Catho lic or Protestant, that compares with the action of the Methodist Sabbath School Union at Boston in impertiuence and pre sumption. We are sure it will receive genera! rebuks from the great denomina tion it misrepresented.” Jim Whaler’s Death- (From the Vicksburg Herald.) “It makes me feel kinder sad,” said the pilot, pointing to the bank as the boat was ploughing the current near Lake Providence, seventy-five miles above Vicksburg. “When they buried him, twenty years ago, the grave was a dozen rods from tiie water, but the treacherous current has eaten and eaten at the bank till another week will float poor Jim away.” The passengers saw the end of a coffin sticking out of the bank, six or eight inch es above water. It is a lonely spot ou the river, with no sound to break the des olation except the beat of the paddle- wheels as the steamers hurry along. “It wus Jim Whalen,” continued the pilot, as the passengers turned to him for an explanation. “He had a wife and babe in Orleans, and was a straight man. He knew iivery snag and bar in the river, and he could put his boat through any shut in th; i darkest night you ever saw. .Jim didn’t brag, aud some of tiie pilots called him a chicken. Chicken ! He was the biggest e agle that ever flew up or down this creek, and that ur’ coffin proves it !” He shoved t be boat out a little, answer ed a signal fi om an ascending steamer, aud continued : “I was a ci lb then—just learning the business of Jim. You uever seed a man who’d do his lev, :1 best for a boy as kind ly as Jim would. No swearing or cuss ing or cuffing, but as quiet and soft-spo ken as a bora lady. When they laid him away down tlier i I couldn’t have felt worse if the old man himself had been pitched into lieavi ai.” He asked for a t fiicw of tobacco, and having settled it a {ainst his left cheek, he said : “Over there by i Jiat gloomy canobrake, at midnight, nigh on to twenty years ago, the General Taylo r took fire, I was sleep in the texas, Jim : it the wheel, and a hun dred passengers v ere asleep, Ilow the fire started no one .knew. The whole boat blazed right up in i minute, scorching and roasting people aft re they had heard the alarm. Whew! 1. ut wasn’t it awful 1 went overboard wi th nothing on but my cotton, and my heel s blistering, and pas sengers and crew tu uibled after.” The pilot rolled up> his sleeve to exhibit the marks of the flat, jes, aud then con tinued ; “Not all of’em. T hirty or forty ran forward, wild like, and afraid to jump. The texas was afire ’ jefore I jumped, and as I floated iu the river I saw the red tongues of the flam es leaping around the pilot-house. Jim ' a as thar’, and thar’, he staid. The wat er was up, the current heavy, and the wi jid blowing agin us, keeping the fire b ack. If Jim went over board it was g< jod-bye to fifty human souls, lie saw it, and that’s where glory covered him fr om head to foot. He held her dead lew’, up—she ran till the engines stopped—till half the boat was burned— till the devil) jsh flames burned every hair off his head, and roasting him as the wo men serve a, piece of meat. When the en gines stopped the boat drifted down, and at last hebp came from other steamers. Jim was ’picked up in the river, swiming like a duck, but died in five minutes.” Tnere was a long pause, and then he added : “Jim Whalen’s back bone saved all them folks. He died afore they could thank him. There wasn’t a passenger or a deck hand who didn’t cry like a child ; hut all they could do was to bury the poor roasted body and press the sods down lightly. Year by year the river has been eating its way to the grave, and while we shall miss it, we’ll all feel as if the big river had more right to the coffin of brave Jim Whalen than the shore. It’s only his bones lying there—only his dust which will float away, for though the gate of heaven is narrow, it was opened plen ty wide enough for Jim Whalen to go in with all steam on.” was immediately and effectually bounc ed. That’s right. Shoot the school tochers, any way.

By the way, I’ve a melon laid up for a treat— I’ve been keeping it nestled in ice ; It’s a beauty, sir, fit for an angel to eat— Now,perhaps,you would relish a slice?” Then the stranger rolled up half a dozen or more Of the choicest exchanges of all— Helped himself to the fruit, threw the rinds ou the floor, Or flung them at flies ou the wall, lie assure;! his uew friend that his “pieces were wrote Iu a manner uncommonly able”— As lie wiped his red hands on the editor’s coat That hung at the side of the table. “By the way, I’ve neglected to ask you your name,” Said the scribe as the stranger arose ; “That's a fact,” he replied, “I’m Abma- leeli Bame, You have heard o’ tha. name,I suppose?

One of the di rectors of a suburban district was in town a few days ago inquiring for a teacher. He said one of the directors had discharged the teacher they had employed on account of giving one of the boys a good square trouncing. It* seems the boy and the teacher had in dulged in a trifling altercation, and the boy had car rested the teacher’s cranium with an eighteen by twenty-four slate, and then hung the empty frame around his neck.
