San Francisco, May 7, midnight—Re"
turns of the elections, ns for as can be
heard from, aro a complete surprise. The
oily, instead of going 10.000 or there
abouts against the new Constitution, aa
was generally expected, gives a majority
of lees than 2.000, with returns nearly
complete. The returns from the country
are nearly complete, bat indicate that,
while Alameda, Sacremento, Santa Clara,
and most of the mining counties, have
gone against the new Canstitntion, nearly
all tho other agricultural counties have
gone heavily for it.
As far as heard from,the city and State
vote now stands 5,300 majority in favor
of the adoption ot the coneiitntion,with a
chance that tho majority will be material
ly increased.
Disturbance was feared in the oity

Washington, May 8.—la tho House,
the bill to enforce tho eight hoar lew
wABiakonnpas the business of the morn
ing hour.
Kelly, of Pennsylvania, agreed that eo
long as that liw was unrepaaled every
workingman in government employment,
who was forced to work ton hours for a
dry’s wages, was defrauded of his legal
rights. But the condition of things since
tho passage ot that law bad changed
greatly. Now, capital could not find
safe and profitable employment in pro
ductive industries null labor was starv
ing. The condition of the world in that
respect waa pitiable. If the theory that
this was duo to over production were
true, (which be denied,} then in God’s
name let over promotion be stopped.
After a short debate the bill for the
enforcement of the eight hour law was
laid npon the labia by a vote 103 to 52.
The vote is now lining taken by yeas and
nays on tbe mttion to reconsider the vote
by which bill was laid on tbe table.
Toe Senate resumed tbe consideration
of tho House bill prohibiting military
interference at elections. Morgan, of
Alabama, advocated its passage, arguing
that the framers of tbe Constitution,

that tbe lattir should be employed to ec
force tbe laws.

competing horses like a flash of lightning.

ranks. The applause for the American
horse was immense, as hernias in op a
canter past the winning chair.

that tbe govsrnment had deferred ac

news.

St. Louis, May 8.—The platform of
(he female suffragists presented to tbe

argument in favor of the cause. One of
the assertions is that since according to

day give a majority against the new con
stitution or 1,215. Tbe returns from the

and that the road was liable: Held, that
there was no error in the verdict.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Cuthbkbt, Ga., May 8.b, 1879.
It is rea ly delightful, after a long
winter’s imprisonment within the walls
of a oily, to sally forth in tho early days
or May and view tho green fields and
springing oorn, the bill’s sides half con-
oealed by the tender folisg9 of noble
tress, to listen to tbe joyous birds caroll
ing their sweet notes in every grove, and
witness the plodding husbandmen as he
deftly tarns the farrows which are (ores-
one the eonntry, may hap, from want and
famine. I: is an apothegm as trite as
true that
OOD ma.de the countisy—man the city.
Hence, all that architeoinral art, consum
mate taste and unmossured wealth may
prodnoe, cannot compare with the glori
ous handiwork of the Almighty as xeveal
ed in the grand panorama of nature. The
one is real, the other artificia’; the one
is pare, holy and nnoontaminated, the
other false and fall of hollowness and de
ceit. Thenneis of the earth, earthy, the
other beers the unmistakable imprint of
Daily.
These thoughts would obtrude then*
selves, after the writer had emerged from
tbe smoky atmosphere of the car-shed a&3
was battling along o’er valley, lull t>nd
brake on the emooth-going Southwestern
railroad, bound for his former home, tne
beautiful littlo oity of Cathbert.
Tbat being is to be pitied upon whose
sated or stultified vision, the glories and
beauties of this God-blessed world makes
no impression. How true the muoh-
anoted fentenoe,
A THING OF BXAUTX IS A. JOY FOREVER.
And the pleasure derived from the

SAMPLE HUMANITY.
There was a goodly array of passengers
onboard, representing quite fully and
fairly the world in whioh we live in almost
all of Its phases. Bat we shall confine
onr observations to a few only, as specs
will not admit of amplification. Tbe
central figure of tho cc-ne waa a lovely
YOUNG MOTHER AND HSR cioIXQ LITTLE
ritlHB, -
seed fiv' inon!b3 - She was h native or
sSn’tiern Georgia, and had married a no
ble Kentuckian who embarked in bus
ness in Boston, but preferring the balmy
South was returning thither, expeoting
to locate in the old home of his wire.
Galled away suddenly at Maoon npon ur
gent business in another direction, he
was forced regretfully to permit bis sweet
eponse and her two chernbe, with a third
little afflicted son, to eontinno tbeir jour
ney almost to the Florida line withont
esoort. Tbe mother was pretty, intelli
gent and Rood natnrad, and it was won-
derfal to see bow she managed to hold
both of those babies, who were as sweet
as moss roses, at the seme time, never
failing to minister to their lacteal wants
and keep them amused and quiet. Like
a true knight we went to tbe retoao and
relieved her of one of them. It was a
tiny,kicking, crowing little specimen with
gentle eyes and lsoghin* ooantensnce.and
wo were soon excellent friends.
A young lady sitting by also volun
teered her services, and atill another, wbo
was traveling with her haaband. 86 the
little ones and their mother laoked for
nothing, while all admired the pretty
twins, a boy and girl, dressed precisely
alike, and as nndistiugnishable as the
DromiOB.
There were several propositions made
to boy these little responsibilities, bnt
the indignant mother oonld not have
been compensated for their I033 by all
the crown jewels of the Queen of Eng
land.
The aforesaid couple, who bad no chil
dren, looked wistfully on,and might have
taken forcible possession, if the way had
been clear—nor oonld we have found it
in onr heart to blame them. For what

mination of noisy, troublesome, darling,
children.
THE MACON CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
At Fort Valley Mr. James Karins, one
of the partners of tho celebrated firm of
Maldoon & Co., of Louisville, Kentucky,
got on board and wo had quitoa chat
with him. He says the Macon mono-
meat was directed to be shipped
from Carrara, Italy, by the firs!
April steamer. It is possible that
the etatne of the Confederate soldiers,
eleven feet in height, wi3 completed in
season to accompany the main structure.
If otherwise,it will asBUTedly be forwarded
by the May steamer. The monument is
to oe erected early in Jnne and the ded
ication services can either take place at
that time or be deferred until
THE MEETING CP THE STATE FAIR
in the fall. At that time the ceremonies
would doubtless be witnessed by the
grandest assemblage of citizens ever be
held in Georgia. If this shonld b9 de
termined upon by the committee, of
course tho otatue would remain voiled
until then
The firm of Muldoon & Co. is rapidly
extending its operations in all of the
Southern States. They have constructed
Confederate monuments in Cynthiana,
Emineaos and Henderson, Kentucky,
have built no less than/our in Tennessee—
that at Columbia very magnificent—two
in Alabama, and are now negotiating to
furnish one each for Vicksburg and Aber
deen, Mississippi.
Ia addition they have set up about
SJXrr PRIVATE MONUM1NTS
this State. Those notably for the
families of ex Governor J. E. Brown,
Messrs. Alexander, Wright, Mitchell, Dr-
Mathews and Dr. Nisbet aro specially
handsome. The firm is perfectly reliable,
and, in tho person of Mr. Karins, have
a representative who never fails to win
the esteem and respect of all with whom
be has dealing.
OTHER PASSENGERS.
Atlanta was well represented by Mr.
Reos Jones, of the firm of Fears & Jones,
extensive real estato and produce brok
ers, and his pretty wife, formerly Miss
Mattie Gamble, cf this place. The house
of Farqohar & Co., had along alas its
pleasant and popular agent, Mr. Robert
Smith, of your city, wbo had sold within
a week no less than five thousand dollars
worth of ateam engines. This great con
cern is daily growing in favor and is one
of tho most extensive dealers in agricul
tural implements, threshing machines,
steam engines, reapers, etc., etc., to be
found at the South.
TOW«3 EN ROUTE.
Marshall ville, Oglethorpe, (where the
writer exchanged greetings with hia very
dear friend, J. B. W., Jr.,) Andersoa-
ville, with its imposing Federal Ceme
tery and the neglected graves of the im
pecun:ous Confederates, * Americas and
Smithviile, were ail passed in due time,
and we could but notice the absence at
each of the idle crowd of oolored specta
tors usually present. It proved that all
hands were at work and was a good omen
for the future.
At SmlthviUa we had an excellent din
aer at the McAfee House, and after tou-
dorly assisting the mother of those
“blessed babies” on board ef the Albany
train, gave them (tbe babie3, not the
mother,) a parting kiss and regretfully
left them.
At Dawson we received several re
emits, one of them a young legal friend,
Mr. J. J. Parks, formerly on the stiff Of
tbe Journal. He reports that pleasant
little city to have “touched bottom” and
to be now “on tbe mend.”
THE CROPS
on the entire lino of road seem backward,
but on th9 whda the stands of cotton are
a fair average. Corn is small but look
ing green and well, and everybody
seemed busy and in goad heart. It is
feared that tho gu too has leached out
and bsen washed away to a great extent
on rolling lands whioh will prove a very
serious matter to the buyers of that com
modity. Perhaps, however, the sslublo
portions still remain in the eoil. Tbe
tie ids are in eomu instances badly washed
and gullied by the lata rain storms, but
not to tho degree wa were prepared to
witnecs. Taken in the aggregate the
outlook is not unfavorable, though
wheat reams to ba rusting considerably
And the oat crop is thin and far behind
tbe average of last year.
CUTHBERT
We reached this elovatedend beautiful
educational centre of Southwest Georgia
on due schedule time, and were pleased
to note many evidences of thrift and im
provement. No conntrv tewn in Georgia
possesses a larger number of well ap
pointed and handsome stores. Indeed,
those of Messrs. J. Mao K. Gunn, Allison
& Simpson, Owen and Sealy, M. Pulaski
Gillespie and Powell, have few superiors,
even in our largest cities. The colored
people, too, ssem in good condition, as
may be fairly inferred from the two hand
some churches, (Methodist and Baptist,)
which they have nearly completed.
. We noticed also, tbat the Baptist
church, (white,) is receiving extensive al
terations and repairs, which will trans
form it into an imposing edifice.
SCH00L3 AND COLLEGES.
Andrew Female College, under tbe
able management and tireless energy of
President Hamilton, is rapidly regaining
its former prestige and popularity. The
approaching commencement will be
g’raced;by | the] presence end deliverances of
two of our moet distingnised citizens, Rev,
A J. Battle, D D., and General Alphens
Baker. The former preaches tbe inia-
tory sermon and the latter willproncnn.«
the literary address. The gradnsuog
class numb sis* seventeen, 'and a more
beautiful and prepossessing bevy of
young ladies were never seen in any in
stitution. The fair essayist of the
Alnmnesn Association will be
Miss Lara (Fielder, tbe talented
and accomplished daughter ot
Colonel Herbert Fielder. This yonng
lady hu already made her mark as an
agreeable and polished writer.
The male high schools, taro in number,
are also excellent and well attended
Prof. McNulty has about eighty students,
who are accommodated In the Old Baptist
College, and come from nil parte of
Sonthern Georgia and Florida. Mr.
Dudley, too, one Of the best educators of
yonth in the country, has charge of' the
town academy, which has 'recently been
erected at a cost of $8,000. ..Both schools
are every way worthy of patrooage, and
reflect honor upon the city. It shonld be
remembered likewise, that Cathbert has
been designated by the General Assem
bly, ns one of the salient points for the
establishment of a bran oh of the Agri
cultural College of Georgia, which is an
appendage of tbe State Doivorsity. No
better point conld have been selected for
that purpose.
AN AWFUL WIND AND HAIL BTOBM.
On the afternoon of the 6th Instant
this vicinity was viBited by a terrific fall
of rain and hail, aoaompanied by wind
equal in violence to a cyolone. Its traok
lay abont four miles north of Cathbert,
and was from one to two miles in width
tending in a northeasterly <u-»e i -n
The writer oonld hear It ronriig .ha
distance like
TINT UP THUNDER,
while a lurid, inky clond enveloped tbe
northern horizon. Several hoars after
wards startling reports from the storm
began to oomo in. The hail had been
unprecedented. Among the sufferers
Rev. J. E. Godfrey had hie gin honee,
cabins, barns, fenoes and every building
on tbe plantation save the dwelling ut
terly demolished, with an almost total de
struction also oi hia crop.
Mr. 0. C. Adams fared nearly sb bad
ly. He had an excellent crop of wheat
all headed ont, literally torn to atoms and
prematurely mown. Nearly every pane
of window glass in his honee was smashed,
the com ont into UtterB, cotton literally
exterminated and frait trees stripped of
their burden. The hail was as large sb
the egg of aGninea fowl, and covered
the gronnd
BIX INCHES DEEP ON A LEVEL,
with drifts in gullies and the corners of
fenoes iwo feet in depth. The next
morning that gentleman brought into
town and exhibited large bonghs of peach
trees not only denuded of fiait and foli
sge, but literally peeled, as though the
bark had been removed with a knife. Ho
had with him also a buoket of bail, gith
ered since tho rain, and, after a whole
night had intervened, whioh were still as
large as partridge eggs. Weeds, cabbages
and vegetables of evory description were
completely riddled, and his cotton was
non inventus. We have secured a peaoh
tree limb and some other storm relics,
and will bring them home this evening to
oonvince tbe doubting Thomases of year
City.
The worthy sheriff of the conniy, Mr.
Lovett Smith, told the writer that
ALL OF HIS GROWN POULTRY
had been killed by tbe hail, and not one
in a hundred ot the heads of wheat in his
crop wa3 left standing. Both corn and
cotton were rained; his windows broken
and the shingles on tho roof of his dwell
ing so split np and damaged by the hail
stones that the interior was flooded with
water. When ho reached home that
night from court he found Mrs Smith
attempting to dry before a blazing Are
sufficient bedding for the use of the fam
ily. The cropot Mr. A. J. Moze also
was destroyed, and at noon the next day
THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS OF HAIL STONE3
might have been gathered onhi3 promises.
Snch ia a brief disoription of this terrible
providential visitation. Had it been
general all over the State, tho whole land
would be clothed in mourning.
RANDOLPH 8UPBRI0R COURT.
The spring sessions of thie tribu
nal are going on at this time,
Judge Crisp, of the Americas
Circuit, presiding for Judge Arthur
Hood, for the purpose of disposing of
those oases in which be had been retain
ed as 03nc3tl. The sitting judgo dis
charges his functions with great dignity
and conrtesy, ruling olearly and impar.
tlally, and seeming to give general satis
faction. He is a handsome and prepos
sessing gentleman and deserredly podu
lar. Albeit tbe youngest offioi&l on the
Georgia binob, Judge Crisp was re-oloot-
ed withont opposition by the Legislature,
and we beard one of the leading mem
bers of tbe bar say,, that his was one of
Governor Colquitt’s appointments against
whioh not a vaioo had been raised. The
civil docket of the connty is not very fall
and tbe lawyers are despondent.
To the credit of Randolph be it said
tbat its jail ba3 bnt one occupant, and
the criminal docket embraces a solitary
case only. The county ia ont of debt,
whioh speaks much for the good manage-
ment of tbe Ordinary, Mr. Gormoly, and
its other officials.
A BAD EVENT.
On Monday last the mortal remains of
Mr. Eugene Jordan, only son and child of
Dr. Jordan, of 8pringvale, a most excel!'
ent and influential citizen, were brongb
from Eafaula to this place for interment.
He was a young gentleman of unblem
ished character and fine abilities, and his
fond father had given him the very best
educational advantages. A few days
since a large party wab made up for an
excursion to Apalachicola Say and
yonng Jordan accompanied it as escott
for one of tbe most popular young la
dies of Cuthberl. He was stricken down
with illness bat returned with the boat
as far as Eufaula. There the host medi
cal aid was summoned, but all that lov
ing friends and kind nurses could do
failed to stay tbe progress of his disease;
and tbe young life went out just after it
had budded into maturity and given rich
promiso of a happy and useful future.
God help the afflicted parents who seem
utterly overwhel med.
As the funeral of this lamented young
man took pltos from the residence of
Judge Hood, and his son, who represents
the cases «>f his father, conld not be
present, Judge Crisp adjourned the
oonrt until after tho last obseqqies were
over, Bnd one of the largest gatherings
ever ksown in the city attended the re
mains of the unfortunate yonng man to
their last resting place. We saw his
grave npon which the thickly strewn
flowers were still fresh and fragrant.
Alas! haw many fond hopes lay buried
there.
Here the writer closes these notes to
take tbe 11:30 a. m., train for his Maoon
home. There are some arrows atill in
his quiver, but they mast oe eped at an

Tun Republican Caucus.
The Republican Congressional canons,
held Monday last, on the Demosrstio bill
provent military interference with
eleolions, if we may credit newspaper re
ports, disclosed no little hesitation and
division of opinion. We quote from the
Oiccionati Enquirers report:
The canons proceedings were opened
by Senator Ho\r, who appeared oa the
delegate tosonid tbe bep-note for the
President. He first told the canons that
he had reason t> believe the President
wonld sign the bill, and that it did no:
amount to rnuoh any way, for the reason
tbat it wonld not impair the right of tbe
President now existing to nse tbe troops
at the polls if he saw tit. Edmunds took
decided exoeptions to this proposition,
and denied tho statement advanced by
Hoar that there was antbority under the
civil rights bill to nse tbe troops at the
pal's. Oa this he made rather a dry oon-
eiltulional argument.
Conkling Allowed. Having been ad
vised by Hoar that the President waa ir
dined to sign the bill, be took occasion
to say tbat if he did it wonld be • com
piste surrender of thtf Republican poii
tion; and then he launched into a politi
cal speech, avoiding the merits of the
bill, but appoaling to tbe party to oppose
the biM k on the general principle that
hatever of political legislation the Dam
ocrats did offer it was safe, aa a matter of
policy, to oppose.
Robeson also opposed the bill, on the
gronnd that the only posse a United
States Marshal could rely on wax the
army, that while a sheriff in his baiii wiok
could call on the bystanders to enforce
bis authority, to enforce the anthority of
the marshal a stronger arm wsr nroessa-
K’ifer, of Ohio, also made a speech
against the hill. It was printipaily troth,
fury and sound, withont argument.
All those who opposed the bill opposed
also its preamb e, as being a piece of po
litical clip-trap pnt into it to make it
Bonnd batter, A vote was finally reached
on tbe question whether tbu BepnblioauH
oho aid voie for the bill. Tae vo e was
overwhelmingly against it, the only ones
who voted to enstatn it beiog a few Ad
ministration members. It wae decided,
howaver, th*t ibe Republicans wan'd ou;
debate the b.li, bat wonld place their seal
of om ltmast on npon it solely by their
vote.

Burial of Little JEdie Freeman,
Murdered by her FaUaer ns m
Seenfiee—'Tbe kiraage Lengths
to which Bellgleus Fanaticism
can carry Mankind.
Boston Special to tho Cincinnati Gizstte.
The child murdered at Focaseet sb a re
ligions sscrifioo waa bmriod to-day. Ao-
cordingt) a Journal special, the Adventists
expected she wonld be raised to life, and
aro disappointed at God’s failure to keep
Hia promise. The extremists say there was
simply a miscalculation of th9timeof the
resurrection. Freeman’s mother-in-law re
quested the people not to inform the living
girl, beoanse it wonld not be necessary, for
each wonld be alive on the third day.
Tae body was in charge of Alden P. Davis,
one of the moet radical of the Second Ad
ventists, bnt who did not expect the reanr-
rection to take place to-day. He according
ly made tho neceeatry arrangements, sent
for a Second Advent preacher in Boa ton, bnt
the Methodists refused to allow Mm to offi
ciate in their charch. Trouble was antici
pated, bat the AvdenUsts did not come.
The funeral was at 1:S0 p. k., and the peo
ple from miles around gathered soon after
noon Davis intended to have made an ad
dress at the close of the service, bnt was
told it wonld not te allowed, and he wonld
be arrested if he mads any interruption.
The small meeting-house fees filled with 250
people, while scores outride were unable to
gain admittance. On the arrival of Davis
with the hearse he refused to allow any one
to help him carry the casket to the altar, bat,
taking it under hia aim, walked in, preceded
by the minister, who repeated the words
commeDcincr. •* I am the roeurroction And
the life ” The casket was of plain atiiced
wood, ornamented with s simple wreath of
May flowers.
The services were condaoted by Bov. Ed
ward Williams, Methodist, assisted by Rev.
A. a. Murray, Baptist. After singing and
prayer, appropriate selections of scripture
were read, and Bev. Mr. Williams made a
brif f address. He did not dwell npon tbe
circumstances of the terrible death of the
little one, but asked all to profit by the les
son of to-night in the awful affair whioh has
sent a t’dal wave of horror through the
length and Dreadth of the land. He warned
his hearers that *i f o is brief and nnceitain,
and counseled them to atop theirmadoireer,
while reason was still at their command.
The seats in the front of the home were oo-
onpied by the relatives and frierda of the
family. The more ra lical Adventists listen
ed rest'vely to the solemn service, and look
ed half fearfully and half expeotanil) at the
casket, but no sign of life came The in
scription on the ouffin was- “Little Edie.
She lived fifty-seven montns, and will rise
again.” Daring the exercises Mr. Davis
tried to speak, but the minister would not
permit him.
After the services and the casket was
taken to the grave, it was opened again by
Adventists, who were atill txpeo.ing a res
urrection Davis monntsd a gravestone and
mode a speech saying that, till two years
ago, he was an infilel. but the great God
had revealed Himself to h m Davis called
upon all to repeat the Lord’s prayer, and a
few Adventists j oinsd him. Be said he was
talking to ths whole world, and a great re
sponsibility rested on him. The world is
standing aghast at Freeman’s deed, but
Davis said a purer and better man than
Freoman nevor lived. Selectman Hie asked
h m to stop, in the name of decency. Dave
retortod that he was in charge of the body
by the anthority of the medical examiner.
He eaid: “I intend to defend the motivoB
of my friend in oommilting this ” -‘Mur
der ! murder 1” cried the crowd. Aa excit
ing scone followed about the op -n coffin.
Voices cried: “ Ohok him! Bury him ia the
grave!” eta. Mr. Williams asked Davis to
deBist, from respect to the dead and the
cauao of Christ Davis demanded a vote,
and nearly all voted that he should stop.
Than he said he would not defend Freeman’s
act, bnt onl> hia motive. He announced a
grove camp meeting from June 16 to 30, to
whichheinrited champions of all denomi
nations—“To bo murdered!” interrupted
some one in the crowd

Lincoln county i3 developing a fino
gold mine. Says the Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist:
About two weeks ago we mentioned
that J. A. Lone & Co., proprietors of tbe
Sales gold mine, in Lincoln county, had
sent to Mr. G. P. Curry a block of gold
valued at about $1,200. Yesterday Mr.
Curry received three more blocks of gold
from the same mine, the three weighing
fifteen pounds and worth about $2,500.
This was taken out of the mine in two
weeks and two days, by five men. The
gentlemin who brought this valuable
product of Lincoln county to the oity
elated that they were now working an ex
ceedingly rich vicn qbont 100 feet below
the surface. In several instances a quart
of earth yielded between fifty and sixty
dollars of gold. With better machinery,
the mine would probably yield much
more heavily. Aa it is the discovery of
such a mine in California would cause
thousands of people to settle in its vicinl
ty. Wo ore satisfied that this section is
rich in gold and other valuable metals.

Editois Telegraph A Messenger—Your ex-
traot in yeste.diy’s issue from ths Charles-
ton News and Courier, - oentained several
misapprehensions and misstatements oon-
oaroiug tho BoatboruBjptistsand the South
ern Baptist Oonventisn. Zbeg permission
to correct them. The News and Courier
esys:
“Unlike most other denominations of
Protestants, the Baptists do not admit the
laity to a share of the Church government,
and consequently the 437 delegates who will
go to Atlanta next week will be all clergy
man. or to speak more accurately, minis
ters”
1. The 8onthern Baptist Convention is
pnrely a missionary body and has nothing
to do with “ Charch government.” Its solo
great pnrpose is to unito the benevolent
contributions of the various Sonthern Bap
tist Churches and, for the sake of greater
efficiency, guide them into one great chan
nel for ooe sicg’.e purpose—evangelization
at home and abroad.
2 A delegate to this convention may be
either a minister or layman. It is by no
means true that “ministers” only can be
delegates to the Sonthern Baptist Convon-
■ion. The delegates are generally appointed
by the state Conventions or General Asso
ciations on tbe basis of one delegate for
every hundred dollars contributed daring
the year to the mission purposes of tbe
Convention. On that principle any Baptist
charch, Association, Convention or Mission
Society may send a delegate by contributing
one hundred dollars.
3. Baptist “charch government” ia ad
ministered by each chnroh for itself in the
most democratic manner by the whole
church whan met in regular church confer
ence : and there is no b shsr charch govern
ing authority on earth among Baptist church
es. The News and Courier eiys “ the Bap-
list churchit shonld have said “ Baptist
charchea” or, the “Baptist denomination.”
4 The Southern Baptist Convention is
really a voluntaiy gathering for benevolent
purposes to unite or combine missionary
contributions and give them volume and di
rection. and sh:nld it be.abolished entirely
the only resnlt would be an absence ot a
general agency for carrying on onr mission
ary operations in oomxon Were it abolish
ed, Baptist church government and pol ; cy
wonld not be in the leait affected, for the
Convention has no connection with charch
governn.cn: nor any power over the chnnch-
os, and no chnroh is under any obligation,
except in a moral sense, to support tbe ob
jects of the Convention, and even then, only
so far aa it may choose to do so by its con
tributions
5. StriitJy speaking, the Sonthern Baptist
Convention ia no ‘•chnroh” meeting at all.
nor a mooting for “ oburch government,"
as the word “jchnrch” is ordinarily under
stood and ecclesiastically employed. Plan-
ly speaking, it is a meeting outside of our.
churches proper, and ths delegates so assem
bled merely represent the mission oentribu-
tions of the white Southern Missionary Bap
tists at the rate of one delegate for every
hundred dollars and the delegates meet an-
nnally to oonsider and decide what ahall be
done with the money in best promoting tbe
kingdom of Ohrist on earth. 8. B.

I do not think Mr. Tilfen will bo nomi
nated. Everything now s.ems to be
working in favor oi Uncle David Davis,
of Illinois. Mr. Conkling struck a peril
ous simile when he referred to soothing
syrup ia couuectioa with the views cf
the Illinois Senator. Senator Davie’
soothing syrup will prove worse than an
emetic to Mr. Conkling’s party if the dose
should happen to bo adminittsred next
year. IhaTe nor found anyone to deny
tbat Mr. D. oan carry the State of Illinois
against Grant or anybody else, and if the
Democrats are determined to lose New
York, David Davis being the only man
who can carry Illinois, will be lengths
ahead of uil other candidates. The Re
publicans omit no oobison to refer to
Mr. Davis as a Democrat, and wish to
identify him in the public mind .vith. tho
Democratic party. They will not do
themselves aey good in that way. We
all know that he is not the kind of a
Democrat the country is running away
