Washington, April 21—A lVerld spe
cial eajs the President is not disposed to
be so indifferent to the charges against
him as some of his supporters. He was
thoroughly aroused and excited to-day,
and in general terms denounced the
statement made by ex-Attorney General
Williams as untrue. He says he has no
recollection of Williams calling on him
to disburse the money for Davenport s
use, and that, if he did. it was represent
ed to him to be a d liferent matter, ana that
he has been deceived. The President has
further resolved on ft full investigation
oftho charges, and has decided to take
the advice of the Cabinet in the premises.
For that purpose, he has sent a personal
request to each member to meet to
morrow at 11 o'clock, for a special con
saltation on the subject.
It has been discovered that Belknap
drew his pay up to midnight of the 2a
of March as Secretary of War. _
Bristow replies to the Committee that
the law gave him discretion as to the
manner of selling bonds. He thought
tbo sum of half a million beat and did
not propose to change t".
Taft is cutting down Belknap's esti
mates five or six millions.
A Times special says there aro tho m03t
abounding rumors now afloat of the fu
ture use to which Whitley is to be put
in the matter of investigation. It is
-aid. among other things, that he will
s o before tho committee investigating
fhc whisky frauds and show that ho him
self w.is a member of the ring, and will
then tell a story implicating prominent
parties, and introduce letters and docu-
xn. nte to show conclusively th8 guilt of
Beblock.
There is also to be shown, through the
agency of Woitley or somebody else, that
the Presidents name has been used in
an unauthorized wav, if not indeed ac
tually forged to documents by Babcock.
All the seeds at the Agricultural De-
partow nt have been disposed of, except
a few that have been received for the
ao-thern sections which, as yet, have re
ccivc 1 none. Tho demand has been and
is still very great. Much complaint has
been made by correspondents—appli
cant! for seed—that their letters have
not. been answered. The daily receipt of
letters is great—often amounting to a
iki u and, so that the forco of the depart
ment is inadequate to answer all. In all
ca-es where letters are such as require
au answer, answer is made without delay.
Bonn Piatt testified in tho Moth con
tract that he got live per cent., and
wanted more, whereupon the owners told
him they bad expenses which would not

drew ont and had their contract stopped.
It is claimed that Commissioner Dav
enport. instead of having copies of the
re agnation made, as provided by law,
did it r.fter a method of bis own, greatly
to tho satisfaction of the President, nnd
saving a large amount cf money; but

answer how much money he made out of
the concern.

Washington, April 22 —Mr. Faulkner,
from the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
reported a bill with regard to citizenship,
and to defino certain rights of United
States citizens in foreign countries. Af
ter a short debate it was postponed to
Wednesday.
The Honse took up the bill reported by
Mr. Douglas, of Virginia, chairman of
the Committee on the Freedmen’s Bank,
to amend -he charter of that institution.
Mr. Donglas said he did not care to ad
dress the House now, but wonld yield the
floor to his colleague, Mr. Bradford, of
Alabama, who desired to offer some
amendments to the bill.
Mr. Bradford offered a substitute for
the first three sections. The substitute
requires tho Secretary of tho Treasiry
to appoint a good and competent man
to take charge'of and wind up the affairs
of tho bank. The Secretary is to retain
a general supervision of the commission
er. It differs from the bill of the com
mittee in this respect, that the latter
only provides for the appointment of a
single commissioner, in case of the death
or resignation of each of the present
three commissioners. Mr. Bradford ad
dressed tne House, insisting that action
on the subjeet was due to the sixty thou
sand depositors of the Freedman’s Bank,
who were principally colored people, liv
ing : n the South; that it was a duty
which Congress ought not longer to
shirk, particularly in view of the
fact that Congress was, to some extent,
responsible for the losses of the deposi
tors. He traced the downfall of tho
bank to that amendment for its charter
which permitted tho bank to make loans
on real estate security, instead of, a3
before, on the United States bonds. He
argued against the views of the majority
of the committee, who held that the
present commissioners cannot be removed
by Congress. Ho could not conceive how
this office of theirs was a property. They
had no beneficial interest whatever in
the property or rights of the original
corporators. He proposed to relieve
them of their office, and to have one
man appointed on whom the colored men
could rely with greater security. Ho de
clared that for the year and a half these
three commissioners have been in exist
ence they haa expended $150,000, and
had only declared a dividend of 20 per
cent. Two of them performed no duty
whatever, and pud out of their salaries
$500 each to the third commissioner, Mr.
Leopold, who discharged all the duties of
the three, and his condnct ho (Bradford)
would recount to tho House. He assert
ed that no such stnpendous fraud as this
Freedmen’s Bank haa ever existed under
the protection of the Government, and
it seemed wonderful to him that such s
fraud could have existed in Washington,
unchallenged by tbo authorities and es
pecially by those who had taken the
colored men under their special provi s-
ion and care. Ho quoted extensively
from the testimony of Anson M. Sperry,
the bank examiner, and other witnesses
to frauds and irregularities in the man
agement of the bank. Some of the tes
timony was in elucidation of a transac
tion by which the bank lost about
$100,000, with the famous Seneca Stone
company, which he characterized as
a bogus institution, in which several dis
tinguished gentlemen, commencing with
tho President and ending with Caleb
Cushing, were stockholders. He quoted
from the testimony of a colored physician
ot Washington, Dr. Purvis, one of the
trustees of the bank, to the effect that
the cashiers at almost all the branches
were scoundrels and thieves, and made
no bones of it, and that almost all of
schools. He declared that the adminis
tration of tho Freedmen’s Bank had a
parallel with the administration of the
Government in the Southern States.
Ever since the so-called rehabilitation of
those States in his own State the district
nnd circuit courts of the United States
had tyrannized over the people without
regard to their rights of person or of
property, and yet the people of Alabama
would abide by the adjustment of 1868,
whereby ft new civilization was imposed
upon them. It was slandorous to charge
the people of the South with any idea of
impairing the obligations of the national
debt or of disregarding the claims of the
maimed soldiers The people of tho South
were no longer Confederate citizens; the
Confederacy was dead long ago and
nobody thought any longer about it
except as an unfortunate incident in
history. He denied that tho people of
the South expected to be paid for any of
the losses sustained by them during the
war; and, although a few such claims
had been presented, there would be no
concerted attempt to pres3 thoso claims
for spoliation and such claim would never
be supported by the Democratic mem
bers from the South. Ho appealed to
the members of the House to do justice
to the South and not longer to believe
that people to be outlaws or hypocrites.
Let them have a good government and
a wholesome administration of justice
and they would be as truo friends to the
colored people as could ho found on this
continent He did not believe that there
was any purpose on the part of any con
siderable portion of the Republican party
to perpetrate the rule that had existed
in the South since 18G8. It would be a
calamity to tho whole country, and
especially to the South, if another ad
ministration of tho same sort were to
control the Government for four years to
come. No action.

STILL. GOING WEST.
Unprecedented Exodus of the Colored
Race From Middle Tennessee — Be
tween 1,500 and 2,000 to Leave
Next Month.
Naihville American.]
Abont three hundred negroes left for
tho West yesterday morning on the
steamer Hillman. This unusual exodus
is chiefly the result of the convention
held at Liberty Hall in May, 1875, at
which the following Board of Emigration
was established:
Maury county, D. Frierson; Robertson
connty, Albert Carr; Sumner county, C.
M. Johnson; Davidson county. Nelson
Walker, W. A. Sizemore, Henry Hard
ing, B. M Holmes.
Walker and Holme3 have, however,
died since tholr appointment. At the
same time an exploring committee was
sent to Kansas to investigate the field.
This committee, upon their return in
July, reported against emigration; bnt
the Emigration Board have been quietly
at work, and seem to have made their
arrangements complete for a general
exodus.
About tho middle of next month a
large number from the surrounding
counties will meet here and go in a body.
This number will probably range from
1,500 to 2.000. The crowd which left
yesterday were mostly from Davidson
county, and were to have started on the
day previous, but a telegram from Mur
freesboro announced that a number
would be here from that point, so tho
departure was delayed.
The negroes say they cannot get work
here, and hence go where they can live.
The feeling which was developed in the
convention last May was that they could
have no voice in the politics of Tennes
see, and so desired to people districts of
tho West where they could have the en
tire control of affairs. The feeling among
the negroes ot Nashville i3 strongly in
favor of the movement, though but few
have at present left from this point.
The statement that negroes cannot
get employment here, in Tennessee, is,
of course, erroneous. The large majori
ty of those who are emigrating have em
ployment. They, however, tnink there
:is a bag of gold awaiting them at the
end of a rainbow, and have given them
selves away to the illusion.
Grant’s Relations with Babcock and

Special to the New York Herald.]
It is asserted here by tho President’s
friends that he has broken with Gen.

Babcock still holds his position as Super

There was such positive evidence
against Babcock before the Grand Jury
that one of the members sought a per

at ouce ignored General Babcock, he
would be badly smirched, as his evidence
wa3 overwhelming against the late pri

must involve Grant.
The Bagdad Flagne.
The nows from the city of the Caliphs
is not reassuring; tho plague is increas
ing there, and on the litter days of March
thirty now cases and ten deaths wero re
ported daily This figure is already largo
in itself for a city of hardly ono hundred
thousand inhabitants, forsucy is now the
population of Bagdad, which counted in
the ninth century about two million in
habitants. But the worst feature of tho
plague rerides in tho facility with which
it may be liable to spread in the neigh
boring districts, and even in Southern
Europe. This is to bo feared especially
now, for tbi3 is the season of the religious
pilgrimages made by Moslems to their
shrines, and by Roman Catholics and
Orthodox Creeks to Jerusalem during tho
Holy Week. Moreover, the Sultan is
strengthening his army in Herzegovina
with recruits from his Asiatic provinces,
around Bagdad and along the Persian
Gulf. a« well as the Eastern Mediterra
nean shore. Tho city of tho Caliphs was
often devastated, and notably in 1831, by
a plague brought by a handful of Indian
pilgrims, just as in 1720, a single infected
ship caused tho appalling plague which
almost destroyed Marseilles.—Commercial

cold steel. When their troops shoot, too,
it is more for sound than effect, as wit
ness tho following paragraph in tho New
York Herald:
Fighting seems to be going on all over
the island, and Jacmel Is threatened with
bombardment. Some years ago two hos
tile batteries at that place, equipped with
a gun each, kept firing at one another for
months without anybody being hit. A
passenger on one of the steamers winch
touch at that port seeing the fruitless en
deavors cf the combatants went ashore,
sighted one of the guns, and, we believe,
ended the war by tho only shot which
took effect during the struggle. A like
lucky circumstance is about the only
thing which will bring tho present revo
lution tn a elO30.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Editorial Correspondence.
Washington Citt. April 18th, 1870.
THE BELKNAP BUSINESS
Made the capital remarkably lively yes
terday. Such crowds have cot been seen
in and around it any previous day during
the session. Perhaps the ceremony of
Easter egg rolling down the grassy slopes
in front of tho building which assembled
several thousand of as mixed and mie-
celianeous a mob as I ever saw, had mnch
to do with the liveliness. All the children
in the city who could muster a red, green,
bine, yellow, or any other colored speci
men of hen fruit, seemed to be present,
and such fun and frolic yon never saw.
There must have been at least five thou
sand folk, small and great, and of all col
ors, conditions and apparel, gathered on
the western slope of the grounds, and
the scene waB extremely and picturesque
ly lively. The hens will have to do double
duty for the next few weeks to keep up
their average production.
This was tho scene outside the Capi*
tal. Inside the throng wa3 quite, as
great, and the excitement ns general,
though not so exhnberant.
By half-past eleven o’clock the Senate
galleries were reasonably full, and a
steady stream still flowed np the marble
steps. The women, as usual, were largely
in the majority, and every one of th>-m
paraded the best in her wardrobe. Such
a clatter of tongues and glinting and
glancing of eyes I, at least, have ucrcrI
seen or heard. Bnt still they poured in,
and somehow scrouged, squeezed, or oth
erwise thrust themselves into the mas9.
Soon after tho Senate was called to order
Chief Justice Waite entered in his black
silk robe, and escorted by Thnrman and
Edmnnds. He was seated on the right
of President pro tern. Ferry, and, after
swearing in several Senators who wore
absent on tho first administration ot the
oath, resumed his seat. He is a solemn,
sturdy looking man, with a good head
and strong face, deep-set, dark eyes, with
a semi-melancholy expression, and a full,
sonorous, judicial voice. Altogether, a
very presentable and fitting man in per-
sonnet, at least, to fill his high office.
The next scene in tho drama was the
entrance of the knight of the itching
palm, himself, the “ swell” Belknap, ac
companied by hi3 counsel. Judge Black,
Matt Carpenter and Montgomery Blair.
The ex-Secretary bore himself well,
though there wa3 a paler tint on his
ruddy face than usual, and his hands
toyed and twitched nervously with the
delicately tinted gloves he held in one of
them. He is a decidedly fine-looking
fellow, tall, straight, and well, though
rather fully formed, with an erect, mili-
tiry carriage, and wore abont the best
fitting frock coat tightly buttoned around
him I have seen in many a long day. His
hair is a cross between faint auburn and
decided sandy, with full beard and mous-
tacho to match. Decidedly a most
presentable person and, I should say,
quite imposing and a wo- inspiring
when sitting in his offico putting
tho screws on post traders who were
not disposed to divide liberally. 'His
counsel also came in for a largo share of
staking, Matt. Carpenter being gotten
up pluperfectly regardless of expense, in
a bran new swallow tail coat and pants
of equal and alm*6t painful lustre, clean
shaved, except a military-looking pepper-
and salt moustache, and hair of nearly
the canto color, neatly brushed. A very
bridegroomy-looking and voluminous
white cravat gave the finishing touch to
a rig that seemed to find great favor in
feminine eyes. Judge Black evidently
hadn’t put himself into his Sunday tog
gery, or if so, had forgotten to brush
them. anr. tn-nort mn.l twisted bi3 silver
faster and more 'furiously °fl}Xn “ul'i*,?
Montgomery Blair reminds me of a
mummy in evening costume, and so there
is no more to say about him
I suppose the wires have told you what
transpired after tho entrance of the
prisoner, so there is no need to repeat
it here. Suffice it to say that the entire
affair was over in thirty minutes or
less, and then “the show broke,” and
tho galleries emptio themselves, each
house resuming its unfinished business.
The scene was rather dramatic, and de
cidedly interesing. If it ends a3 dra
matically with Btdknap’s conviction I
shall count it one of tho scenic
events of my life. "What repli
cation tho House will make to the
slea of no jurisdiction put forward by
Belknap’s co'.irsd can be easily guessed,
though it will not bo officially known
until to-morrow.
I had almost forgotten to add that no
Senator shook hands with Belknap as
ho passed out tho chamber, and only a
few members of the House, among them
Messrs. Lynde and Hoar, of the mana
gers.
THE DEBATE
on tho Kilbourne business was resumed
in tho Houso after that body returned,
and went on till nearly six o’clock, when,
as yon already know, a vote was taken
on the proposition of Mr. Lynde, of Wis
consin, to obey the writ of habeas corpus
issued by District Judge Cartter, and
send the body of said Kilbonrne before
that functionary, which was carried by
105 to 72 All the Georgia members
ex-eptMr Hill voted for the resolution.
The negative vote was made up entirely of
Democrats, with the exception of Messrs.
Hoar and Lawrence, of Ohio. It seems
very clear to mo that the resolution
should have had the solid support at
least of tho Southern Democrats. They
hive had peculiar and most powerful
reasons, especially during the last ten or
eleven years, for standing by and guard
ing a3 tho mo3t sacred and precious of
all safeguards thiB great writ, and I regret
that there ehould have be< n a negative
vote on the proposition from thatsection.
Let the South, at least, hold this fort to
the last. She cannot afford to abandon it.
Duriug the debate bully Blaine made
a characteristic display of his disgust
ingly offensive insolence by interrupting
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, and was
most summarily knocked out of time and
rolled in the dirt. He was punished as
effectually, though not so severely, as
when he attempted to measure swords
with Lamar, and tho House rang with
applause and laughter as Tucker skinned
him with an ease and artistic precision
that was positively delicious. Even some
of his toadies and henchmen went back
on him and laughed heartily at his signal
discomfiture.
Apropos of tho bully, it is asserted that
witnesses will be here next week with
positive proof of the truth ef the charges
against him in relation to that $64,000
matter already mentioned. The whole
subject will come before the Pacific Rail
road Committee. Thpre is a growing im
pression that the result will make a dead
duck of the bully, though he will, of
course, continuo to slosh around and
make himself, if possible, even more con
spicuously odious than ev»r.
THE SILVER BILL
was signed yesterday by the President,
and there was a conference in the after
noon between Bristow, Treasnrer New,
and the director of tho Mint to finally
m
vise the regulations for issuing the 8
currency A large number of letters '
received at the Treasury to-day accoi
re*
ver
were
the Treasury to-day accompa
nying money sent for redemption, and re
questing remittances of silver in return.
Many of the writers seem, however, to
have forgotten that silver will only be
exchanged for fractional currency. And
speaking of the lat’er, I ara reminded of
the fact that a sharp lookout is now being
kept for counterfeit fifty and twenty-fivo
cent notes Of the former those bearing
tho heads of Lincoln, Spinner, Robert J.
Walker, Washington and Stanton have
been largely counterfeited. Only the
old series of twenty-five cent notes seem
to have been tampered with. The fifty
cent notes with tho Crawford head, und
the twenty-five cent ditto with tho Walk
er head seem to have been left alone. The
silver bill is, it is said, not entirely satis-
factory to the Senate, and I was told yes
terday that a supplemental bill may bo
looked for this or next week which will
provide for coming a new silver dollar to
be a legalJender except for custom does
up to twenty dollars, and be used to re
tire all the one dollar notes from circula<
tion.
wail robbers, perhaps.
Numerous complaints having recently
been made to Hon. James H. Blount of
mail failures and irregularities in that
portion of his district traversed by the
Macon and Augusta railway, he made
such representation thereof that a special
agent of the Post-office Department was
sent down there a day or two since to
look into the matter.
EASTXR SUNDAY
was marked by even more elaborate and
beautiful floral decorationa of the various
Episcopal and Catholic churches than
usaol. I am sure the taste and skill dis.
played in some could not have been bet
tered. Such a wealth of the rarest and
most beautiful flowers appropriate to the
occasion almost cheated one into the be
lief that the season was May, and the
place a far more Southern latitude. At
St. John’s Episcopal Church, on H street,
nearly opposite the White House, the
decorations were especially beautiful and
attractive, and the choir singing among
the most admirable I ever heard. The
choir is of the masculine gender exclu
sively, with a tenor whose voice is one of
the sweetest and most velvety, if that
adjective is allowable, I ever heard. I
understand, too, that he is a bachelor,
bnt I know that must be his fault. With
that voice ho surely could sing his way
into any average female heart. R.
Progress of Contraction.
Charleston News and Courier.!
The Boston Advertiser has a compila
tion showing that, daring a single week
bonds to secure circulation have been
withdrawn by the National Banks to the
amount of $2,347,050. This withdrawal,
which requires the deposit o! ninety per
cent, of legal tender cotes, is practically
a contraction of tho currency to that
amount, and if continued in the same
proportion, the contraction will amount
to over eight millions a month—twice
a3 much as Secretary McCulloch ever
thought of attempting to accomplish.
The withdrawal of bonde for tho week
ending March 11 was $1,055,000, and for
the week ending March 4, $781,900.
With more or less interruption the
movement has been going on for a long
time, with tho consequent result of a
contraction of nearly twenty-five millions
of dollars in the circulation since the 1st
of April, 1885. During that month the
withdrawal of bonds was a little more
than a million, in May a little less than
a million, in June over throe millions, in
July a little les3 than a million, m August
a little more than a million, in September
over two and a quarter millions, in Oc
tober over four and threo-quarter mil
lions, in November a little more than a
million, in December over two and a
half millions, in January about two mil
lions, in February about fonr and three
quarter millions, and tho month of
March probably exceeded all previous
months in the amount of withdrawals.
At this rate the contraction during tho
tho present year will reach $90,000,000
or $100,000,000; or nearly one-third of the
wholo National Bank circulation. And,
eo far, the effect- on the gold premium ha3
been nothing, or les3 than nothing. In
December, 1871, the quotation for gold in
New York ranged fron 103 J to 1105. This
was before the contraction began. Yes
terday gold was quoted at 1121*113,
which is higher than in 1871. As late as
December last gold was quoted at 112J.
No more need be eaid to show that, as a
means of bringing greenbacks to a par
with gold, the contraction of the curren
cy is a failure. Resumption cannot be
reached in that way, and the reason is
not hard to see. The quantity of coin
and bullion in the country is not chan 1-
tha , volu “?,°. E
and bullion, expressed in greenbacks,"Yu
determined by the demand for that coin
and bullion for use in manufactures and
for exportation. Contraction can go on
until all the National Bank notc3 6hall
have been retired, and greenbacks then
will not necessarily have risen to par in
gold. When they aro convertible, on de
mand, into gold, they will bo worth as
much as gold; the contraction of the
bank note3 will not raiso them to that
coveted height. And in tho meantime,
while the process of contraction goc3 on,
a mountain of care weighs down, if it
does not crush, the industrial and com
mercial interests of the country.

Which Shall I Take ?
This is often a serious question with
the invalid. He finds the market flood
ed with paoprietary medicines, scores of
which are recommended as certain cures
for his peculiar ailment. He reads tho
papers, circulars, and almanacs, and finds
each sustained by plausible arguments,
setting forth its virtues and specific ac
tion. The recommendations are as strong
for one as for another. The cures
claimed to have been wrought by ono are
as wonderful as thoso claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his per
plexity and doubt, tho sufferer is some
times led to reject all. Bat it shonld bo
borne in mind that this condition of
things is one that cannot bo remedied.
In a land where all are free, the good—
the truly valuable—must come into com
petition with the vile and worthless, and
must be brought to public notice by the
sameicstrumentality, which is advertising
In such a case, perhaps the only abso
lute proof that a remedy ie what it claims
to be, is to try it. The “ test of a pudding
is the eating of it.” " Prove all things,
hold fast that which is good,” is the
apostolic injunction. There may, how
ever, be stronger presumptive evidence
in favor of one remedy than there is in
favor of another, and thi3 should be al
lowed its duo weight. A due regard to
this may save a va_t amount of experi
menting and a useless outlay of money.
As presumptive evidence in favor of Dr.
Pierce’s family medicines, the proprie
tor desires to say, that they are prepared
by anew and scientific process by which
tho virtues of the cruae plants and roots
are extracted without tho use of a par
ticle of alcohol. Not a particle of this
destroyer of our raco enters into the com
position of either his Golden Medical
Discovery or Favorite Prescription. ThiB
consideration alone ought certainly to
rank them high abo»e!the vile compounds
saturated with alcohol, Jamaica rum,
sour beer, or vinegar, which aro every
where offered for sale. Again, they are
of uniform strength, and their virtues
can never be impaired by age. They are
also mado from fresh herbs and roots,
gathered in their appropriate seasons,
when they are flush with medicinal
properties. In support of these claims,
the following testimony is offered:

GEORGIA BAPTIST CONTENTION
Pastor’s Conference.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger.!
The day preceding the meeting of tho
convention was devoted to a conference
of the Baptist pastors of Georgia, who
arrived in time to attend on that day.
The number present this session was
abont twenty-five. They met in the
hall of tho Ciceronian Society and were
called to order by Rev. J. H. Kilpatrick,
who was afterwards elected Moderator,
while Rev. J. L. Underwood wa3 elected
Secretary. Rev- C. A. De La Motta
(colored) wa3 invited to a seat. The
Moderator, (Rev. J. H. Kilpatrick,) then
called Dr. J. S. Lawton to the chair, and
read a report and an interesting and
graphic history of the White Plains
Church, in Greene connty, of which he
has been pastor twenty-one years.
Tho plan for collecting money in that
church is to assess the members for
funds to pay the pastor’s salary, and
other church expenses. Collections for
other religious purposes are taken at
three stated periods. The per capita
uents for the last year were $6. The
‘erence then discussed plans for rais
ing money in churches in fire minute
speeches—brethren Skinner, Mill, Stoat,
Hillyer, Cheevis and others participating.
It was concluded that no coercion shonld
be used, but that the heart should be
thoroughly enlisted, and thus tho hand
would be opened.
In the afternoon the Conference met in
the Baptist Chnrcb, and the disouasion
was continued, and a great variety of
points were brought ont on the subject
of collecting the chnrcb funds. The dis
cussion was whether to assess the mem
bers or trust to voluntary donations was
most proper, and a most able discussion
took place, which it is not necessary to
report. Bnt it was finally agreed that
assessments (or taxing) was unscriptnral,
and that church contributions shonld be
voluntary.
Three sessions were held, and an in
teresting timo wa3 spent by those as
sembled.
GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION.
This body met in its 54th session on
Thursday, 20th, at Thomasville, Thomas
connty, Georgia. It represents a constit
uency of about 75.000 of the white Bap
tists of Georgia, and meets annually to
discuss nnd devise plans relative to mis
sionary and educational measures. It is
not a judicial ecclesiastical body, nor, in
any sense, a governing power, among the
Baptists of Georgia. It simply affords a
convenient means of union and co-opera
tion among them, in works of benevolence
or ntility. It has under its snperviBion
and management, Mercer University and
two High schools, one at Penfield and one
at Daiton, and also The Hearn School, at
Cave Spring. And it, also, ha3 under it3
charge,'an Orphan’s Home, at Atlanta,
Georgia. It meets annually at places
designated the year previous, and ie com
posed of delegates sent np by tho thirty-
fifth Baptist Association, sin connection
with the body, and by such churches or
societies as may contribute $50 for each
delegate sent.
FIRST DAY.
The Convention, now in session, is
composed of a large and dignified set of
delegatee, from all parts of the State,
o..e hundred and fifty or two hundred
being present. It wa3 called to order by
Rev. D. E Butler, the former President,
at 10:30 o’clock a. 11., on Thursday, who
appointed a committee on credentials.
While tho committee wa3 attending to
their duties the body engaged in devo
tional exercises, conducted by Rev. Wm.
H- Davis, of the Hepzibah Association,
Re^ D. G. Daniel, Dr. S. G. Hillyer and
Dr. T. E. Skinner leading in prayer.
After tho committee on credentials had
reported the Convention proceeded to
$}ggt ci q{ficer3, when Rev. D. E. Butler
Call, Secretary, and’ ileV. - tTnT’lStout,
Assistant Secretary. While the votes
were being counted tho Convention
adjourned for dinner.
2:30 p. ai.—Tho convention met and
the report on elections, as just announced,
was mode. Rev. M. B. Hardin, of La
Grange, then moved that a special com
mittee bo appointed, to whom all matters
pertaining to missions and Sunday-
schools should be referred. Tho com
mittee as appointed consists of the fol
lowing hrethren: J. G. Ryals. P. H. Mell,
A. P. Abell, W. H. Davi?, G. R McCall,
T. E Skinner, A. R. Callaway and M. B.
Hardin. Tins able committee will have
matters of great importance to the Bap.
tists of Georgia under its consideration.
A new item in the “order of business”
was added, at the suggestion of Rev. J.
H. Kilpatrick, involving tho appoint
ment of a committee 10 select delegates
to the Southern Baptist Convention ac
cording to the new method. At the last
session the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That wo recommend to our
churches and associations that hereafter
they appoint their delegates to the South
ern Baptist Convention.
Thu3 the Convention virtually declined
to appoint such delegates unless instruct
ed to do so by the Associations, and this is
tho matter'referred to the committee
appointed.
Rev. J. W. D. Creatb, of Texas, and
Mr. Hutchins accepted seats in the body,
by invitation, and then the President
called Dr. P. H. Mell to the chair while
he appointed the regular committees.
Tho report of tho Executive Commit
tee of tho Convention wa3 read, which
reported Mercer University in a prosper
ous condition, with eighteen or twenty
young men studying for the ministry,
and one hundred and thirty students in
attendance.
The Convention then appointed dele
gates to the Florida and Alabama Con
ventions, and to the Baptist General As
sociation of Virginia.
T- J. Burney wa3 unanimously re
elected Treasurer.
By motion of Rev. J. H Kilpatrick, tho
Convention agreed to meet, next year, at
Gainesville, Ga, and the Clerk wa3 in
structed suitably to acknowledge the in
vitations of Gainesville, Dalton and La-
Grango. ,
It was agreed to havo preaching at the
hour of 11 on Friday and Saturday.
Hereafter the introductory sermon is to
precede tho organization of the Conven
tion. and is to bo a convention sermon.
At this session the introductory will bo
preached to-night (Thursday) by Rev.
I. R Branham, of Marietta.
Various unimportant items of routine
business were performed which would he
of no interest to the general reader. A
serious sDirit pervades the Convention, as
two or three important matters aro an
ticipated.

Steele & Price, the manufacturers of

rewarded by having accredited to them
the reputation of manufactnring good

make that many people are willing to
use adulterated articles, because of n
small reduction in price; and in doing so
often subjecting themselves to injurious
effects, for it must not be supposed that
those who aro willing, at tho cost of
reputation and for the purposo of gain,
to impose adulterated goods on the pub
lic, would hesitate to use injurious adul
terants. Dr. Price’s Baking Powder and
Flavoring Extracts being tho mo3t per
