#i». MRS. McPARLASD'S CONFESSION. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, - MAT 18, 1870, The recent railroad disaster near St. Xxxuia, on the Missouri Pacific Road, was a terrible affair—nineteen killed outright, and thirij wounded. The accident was caused by an extra freight train colliding with an express entitled to the track. All through a inisapj hension of orders given to the Conductors. The Fenians arc still holding councils of war, picnicking, marching and counter-march ing, and preparing to tear np things gener ally. Like the King of France in the Nursery rhyme, they "March np the LQ1 with ten thousand men. And then march down again.** The Western States arc peculiarly fortunate in their system of immigration and in their se lection of men and measures to carry it out. They do not send one man over, as Georgia did, “cabin’d, cribb’dand confined” by the lack of means, but disperse numerous agents all over Enrope, and place them on the vari ous lines of steamers and at New York and Boston, ho that from the first moment the im migrant comes under the control of the agents in Europe to the time when he touches the soil of America, he is never out of sight and never beyond the circle of their influence.

Condensed from the Tribune of the 11th.] HOW 8 HZ MAES!ZD ITUt PRESENT HUSBAND. “I married Daniel McFarland in 1857. I was a girl of 19, bom in Massachusetts, and educated in New England schools. I had been a teacher, and was just beginning to write a little for tie press. Daniel McFarland was an Irishman of 37 or 38, who hod received a partial course at Dartmouth College, and hail, seven yeare before I knew him, been ad mitted to the Massachusetts bar. 'When I married him, lie represented himself to be a member of the bar in Madison, Wisconsin, with a flourishing law practice, brilliant polit ical : prospects, and possessed of property to the amount of $20,000 to $30,000. HOW SHE WAS DECEIVED. These representations, she says, turned out to be false. Mr. McFarland’s property con sisted only of wild Wisconsin lands, on wbicb The Fossil Democracy of Delaware have been holding a “While Men’s Convention. It was not, however, a very great success The njwonntry trains brought ten men to Do ver, the down-country trains fifteen more, and these were all that conld be mastered in the State. Even Ssnlsbnry was not in attendance. The fifteen, it is said, looked at the ten, and the ten looked at the fitteen, and t£cn all looked at Sam Townsend, who had projected the movement, until some one said “Let ns go home," when the White Men dis persed. Grit. Logan’* Speech. Gen. John H. Logan delivered an eloquent and dignified address to the Grand Army of the Republic—National Encampment—at Washington on Wednesday hut The speech was an exposition of the objects of the Asso ciation and the principles upon which it is bas ed. Their purpose is “to promoto the love and practice of ftatemity, liberal diatribntions of charity and nueqni vocal loyalty." The pa pers are load in their praises of G«n. Logan’s speech, and it is a fact that he is a natural ora tor. His commanding personal appearance, native abilities, and iron determination espe cially fit him for a popular speaker. Woman Suffrage. The question has been pertinently asked, why, if the ladies really want to vote, do they leave the work to the hands of a few individu als? They ought to know that when they de cide the matter for themselves, that decision, be it pro or con, will he ratified by the men. They should quit bleating tlieir platitudes and generalities about their abuses at the hands of “ the horrid men," and unite in a respectful and dignified demand for the Ballot, if they really want it. That would settle the question at once. The difficulty in their way at present is, that they are hopelessly divided among themselves. Even those of their number who have become identified with the Reform move ment, cannot agree among themselves. As an evidence of this, we may instance the fact that two rival Woman’s Suffrage Conventions are now in sessiou in New fork, each claiming to be rte National Convention of the friends of the movement. As the Choctaw Indian said to the Preachers, who wanted them to embrace Christianity, Settle it between yourselves first, ud then we win bear y&n patiently! The lady brokers of New York have ceased to l>e a sensation. They have taken fine rooms in Pork Bow, and fitted them np for editorial and publishing purposes, and are fib rut to is sue a newspaper, in which the claims of Mrs. WoodhuU to the Presidency are especially to be urged. The banking business has not amounted to much. The ladies themselves are seldom to be seen, their visits to the rooms being rare and of short duration. Nine or ten thousand Jews in the city of Je rusalem are perishing from famine. In London an association has been formed for the purpose of relieving present distress and for establish- jpg permanent industrial institutions among them. Perhaps among no class of people are the poor and disabled of their own kind bet-’ ter cared for than by the Hebrews. From this country, therefore, we do not doubt that a large sum will be sent to Jerusalem, and that measures will be token to co-operate with the London society. An Attempt to Of order. The Lynchburg (V*-) papers report that a fiendish attempt wag made to throw the west ern bound Virginia and Tennessee train from the track, on Monday night last Near Bon- sacks a Urge wooden till waa placed across the track, which the wheels of the locomotive en countered, bat fortanately were not thrown from the rail. The aill was forced along in front of the wheeU for several hundred yards, whan the train was stopped and the obstacle removed. The train waa running at schedule speed at the time, and lrnd it jumped thejtrack xenons damage would have resulted. Got. Bullock. rrou tbo Washington Chronicle 13th.) We are gUd to know that Governor Bullock has finally determined to deal in a summary manner with his calumniators. An Associa ted Press dispatch from Atlanta announces the fact that he has brought suit for libel against one newspaper, and that he does not hereafter intend to allow slanders to go un noticed, but will prosecute to the extent of the law. Probably no gentleman of prominence in the South baa been more earelly maligned than Governor Bollock. For two years past the rebel press of Georgia baa reeked with vinifica tions of the Chief Execntive of the Slate, and it is high time that his unscrupulous enemies should l«rn that they are amenable to the laws for their wicked defamation of dfiartv. He has challenged the fullest in vestigation into Ids official acts; bat when he is honorably acquitted of the various charges against him, an we feel sure he will bs, we have no idea that the rebel war upon him will cease. It should be a source of congratulation to all good Republicans that, however much his ene mies may assail him. Governor Bullock is not the man io hesitate in the work of reconstruct ing the State in accordance with the views of the Government. Neither is he the man to be intimidated, nnd we have, therefore, the fullest confidence in his ultimate triumph over his rebel enemies.

Mc’rAEUXD's foveett. It seems that Mr. McFarland was .from the first, straitensd in his pecuniary circumstnn- s. Daring this fall of 1858, he had made two or three trades of his Wisconsin lands for reel estate, and bad made what he called excellg-/.' bargains. Bat daring all the time I was op pressed always by want of money, and with jreat difficulty got a scanty wardrobe for my >eby, which was bom in December, 1858. In 18fi0, after I returned to Mr. McFarland, _ suit was brought against him by some one in Wisconsin for some money which was. as I be lieve, the borrowed capital with which his Western lands had been purchased. This suit was decided ogainst him by Judge Leonard of New York city. While it was pending Mr. McFarland ordered me to pack np my tranks and be ready to leave the city, as he might at any time be anested and prevented from leav-. ing the State. So again m December, 1860, 4 was sent back to my lather's with my baby now aix months oldT ^ Mr. McFarland never did any work while in Madison, or earned any money. I lived with extreme economy, ana he bad $800 or $909 left when he readied Madison, which, with the addition of $200 or $300 more which he re ceived from the sale of a tract of land which be owned somewhere, bought the furniture for our little house, and supported us for the four teen months we lived there. At the expiration of this time Mr. McFarland began to grow more and more morose and ill-tempered, and told me finally he waa getting ont of money and had no way of getting any. He endeav ored to get a public offioe of some kind in Madison, bnt was not supported even by those on whern he counted as bis friends. SHE BATS THAT BE tUcTBEATS HIS WOE. Mr. McFarland was unspeakably cruel to me this fall and winter of 1862 find 1863, while he boarded at 58 Yorick street. We occupied the r sleeping apartment on the parlor floor, he conld give full scope to his furies with out fear of being overheard. He would lock himself into the room with me, and give way to such terrible furies that only the extremest wide and self-control prevented me from mak- ng my misery known. SHE SATS THAT HE STOKES HEK A BLOW. One morning daring this winter which I am noWdescribug, after Mr. McFarland had been ont nearly all night in a drunken orgle, and bad risen from bed in one of his wont tempers, I approached him as he stood by the mirror finishing his toilet, and began to say something soothing to prevent the outburst of ill temper which I feared was soon coming. He turned around and struck me a blow across my face which mads me reel backward. Al though he bad often pinched and bit me in some of bis fits of drunkenness, he bad never before struck me so cruel and cold-blooded a blow. SHE DEBCWBSS HIS FABOXXSXS OF JtAOE. Ho would often seise and break anything which was at hand—lamps, glasses, mirrors, and sometimes the. heavier furniture of the room. Often he would rise from bed in these uncontrollable attacks of passion, tearing away all the bed clothing, tearing in shreds his own night clothing, throwing anything he could find which waa breakable crashing about the unlighted room, till it seemed to me as if there could be no Pandemonium worse than that in which I lived. And all this he would do without explanation or even a pretext for complaint against me, and when I knew no more what excited his frenzy than a babe un born. HOW SHE CAM! TO HAKE BBS. SINCLAIR A COJJ- nnEXT. This winter I made a desperate struggle for life. I bad my two babies—tbo younger just weaned; I hail this man half of the time com- ing borne intoxicated, and I had nothing but my woman's heart and bands to look to for support.* I gave all the readings I could. I did all my own housework when at home. I took faithful care of mychildren,butIoftausank Into such utter despondency or heart as only God knows and can pity, when be sees the poor human soul sinking under it On one of these days Mrs. Sinclair came in. I had never said a word to her about my trou bles, and she had been too delicate to broach the subject to me. When she went array she mt a little paper in my band, and after she lad gone I found it waa a $50 bank note.— Next morning came a letter from her enclosing another $50 note, which she said was a present from some other friends of mine. HER PRIDE WOUNDED. I confess I could not endure such a wound to my pride. I had been reared in comfort nnd plenty, and in my veins ran some of the proudest blood in Massachusetts. I knew not one of my kin bad ever taken alms. I had to use some of the money sent me, for we were nbsolutcly pinched with went at that moment, bnt the next wreck I sold all all our furniture, which was bought with money borrowed of my father, and parted with many articles of comfort which had been sent to me from my home, and with the proeeodsof the sales Iwas able to send hack the money to Mrs. Sinclair, telling her I could not yet reoeive alms from my friends. IIS. RICHARDSON AND 72 A MITT STREET. Within a few days after the 1st of January, 1867, 1 found the boarding bouse at 86 Amity street intolerable, for various reasons, and re moved to 72 Amity street, taking the back parlor and extension room for my rooms, and preparing onr meals for myself, Percy and Mr. McFarland. The rooms were very comforta ble, and I rented them from a Mrs. Mason, who herself rented half of the house. I took these rooms somewhere in the first or second week in January. Somewhere about the last of January orfirst of February, Mr. Bichardson come to lodge at this bouse. He camo there because there was a good room vacant there, and he was obliged to move bis lodgings, which were in the vicin ity, and he told me that he did not wish to move very far, as he expected to leave the city altogether very soon. THE FLIGHT TO SINCLAIR'S HOUSE. On the evening of the 20th, before going to the theater, I secreted his razors, his pocket knife, my scissors am] all articles I considered dangerous—as I frequently did on such occa sions—and left him. When I came home he was still raging. He frequently had made threats of committing suicide, often going out of doors with that avowed purpose. On this occasion, about midnight, he bode me an unu sually solemn “ eternal isremfl," and told me that this time be waa certainly going ont to destroy hinuelf. He bad done this so many times that I said nothing, and made no effort to detain him. At the door he hesitated and asked if 1 had nothing to say “in this last parting." I said " Fean only say that I am hopelessly sorry for you." He went ont and in a few minutes returned as I knew be would, cooled and sobered by the cold night air; and then, it being nearly morning, as mildly and firmly as I possibly could, I began to talk with him. I told him decidedly that I should leave him forever; that I had boras with patience for many yean great outrages from him; that he had made my life miserable and had often put me in great dread of my life; that I could not endure it any longer; that by bis outrage ous conduct for the two days past, and by the language he had used when be found me at Mr. Richardson's door, he bad added the last drop to my cup of endurance, and I should go away from him at once. On this he grovelled Lit i.iv fi-i: ill the 111,:.,: nVijvct penitence. He wept and sobbed and begged me to forgive hiui. He confessed that he had wronged me, that ho woman would have home with him as I had done, and about daylight went to sleep The next morning I did not allnde to my purpose, but after seeing him leave the house for Mr. McElrsth's ofiicel went to Mr.-Sin clair's, and placed myself under the protection of his roof, and never afterward saw Mr. Mc Farland, except once or twice in the presence of others. 8HZ SAYS pia CONNECTION WITH US. RICHARD SON XS INNOCENT. Mra. McFarland protests repeatedly and in the strongest terms that there was no crim inal relation between her and Mr. Richard son. • I saw him often., and he did me many kind nesses. I knew very well he pitied me, be cause he thought I was overworked and not very happy. His treatment of mo w as always most respectful and reserved. There was nev er, prior to my leaving Mr. McFarland, a word or even a look passed between ns which I should not be glad now if all the world had seen and heard. He called sometimes at uiy room, which was next his, bnt from its situation, and the fact that it was my sleeping room, parlor, and dining room in one, it was in no sense a private room. My boy, who was then seven years old, was always with me, and Mr. Rich ardson's calls were made usually in the after noon, about the time he got through work, and oflener after Mr. McFarland had got home from down town. EICHABDSON DECLARES DOVE—IT IB RETURNED. The evening after this separation took place, Mr. Richardson called at Mr. Sinclair’s and stayed an hour or two with the family. He told ns all that in a few days be was going to Hartford to finish his book. 1 was going to Massachusetts the 7th of April, when my en gagement expired at the theater, and I thought if he went away in a day or two I might not see him again, so when he arose to leave that eve ning, I went to the door to say—what I could not say before the others—that be had been vary, vest good to me, that I never could re pay him, but that God would surely bless him for it I could not say this without strong emotion, and while I spoke, he said: “How do ▼->u feel about facing the world with two ba- D'.es?” I answered: “It looks hard for a wo man, but then, I am sure I can get on better without that man than with him.” At this, Mr. Richardson, still holding my hand, which I had given him to say “good-bye,” stooped down, and, speaking in a lower tone, so that he could not be heard through the door opened into the parlor, where the others were sitting, said these words; “I wish you to remember, very glad act words. And with this he went away with out a single word more being spoken by either of us. I turned and went up stairs, and said nothing to any one that night. It may have been two days later Mr. Richardson called again. It happened I was in the parlor alone when he came in. In the talk which took place then, he told me that during the storms of the last few days of my life he had become interested in me and very fond of me, that I was the woman of all the world whom he had seen to whom he would gladly intrust the care of his motherless children; that my prudence and reserve during all our acquaintance, when he knew I was unhappy, had won on him greatly; that he loved me, and that if in any future, however far of£ I could be free to marry, he wanted me to know fully this feeling.— What could I sav? Mr. Richardson had all my respect for his chivalry and generosity to me before lie bad spoken thus. When he spoke, all my heart went out to him as freely as the river flows toward the sea. A LOVE LETTER FROM RICHARDSON. March 31,1867. Mt Love : If Heaven shall ever grant me the lost blessing of calling you mine, by the most sacred name of wife, it will compensate me for all waiting and sorrow. And precious, should one of us go hence by unalterable des tiny before that blessed hour come, it would still be blessed and full compensation to know that yon had loved me; that you bad found in my poor nature somewhere hidden any worth that deserved that And, precious, about our immediate situa tion. There isn’t a bit of any sacrifice or generosity about it on my part Once for all, remember that Partly from my own rash ness, partly from things neither of us could control, yon and I are in a little boat on a high aud somewhat perilous sea. If I had had any sense you would not have been there. But I behove devoutly in the proverb that a man who isn't a fool part of the time Iteone all the time. It was foolish, imprudent, cruel in me to let you be on such a craft with me, when patience could have avoided it, But I loved you, nnd took no counsel of reason. Well, darling, here we are in the little boat, waves high, some shaiks, some pirates. For me, it is nothing. I have act life aud death before, and don't disturb roe. Aud I to die; so I am not afraid of anything in life. But, precious, for you my heart reproaches me, I am so sorry, when I should have been S oar helper and comforter and shield * to have ronght yon into such a stonu. But, darling, if I live, I am going to see you safely ont of it If I should not live to get into harbor with you. tho Father will take care of your sunny But, precious, let us take oar chances. I have been in rougher waves before, and ridden them safely. Let ns exercise the best seaman ship we can, provide for all contingencies as far as possible, and then keep the serene mind which defies late and fears nothing but guilt and knows how infinitesimal all these petty things of life ore, nnd feels suro that infinite love and absolute justice rule the world. My darling, in all that I am to do, or have or hope for, in life or death, you are irrevoca bly interwoven. I regret nothing that I have done, save just to the extent that it has affect ed or marred your happiness. My whole heart, my whole life, go out to you I think I see a happy future, sunun days, loves of children, loves of home, good to others, know I see a loyalty nothing can shake, trust that is absolute, a love that is utter and vital. Of this letter Mrs. McFarland says, “It is the key-note of the absolute love and trust Mr. Richardson held me for the three years which passed until his death." To a cool observer it seems very little like the effosion of a man really in love, but rather to be a carefully pre pared literary composition, intended in the first place for effect upon the woman to whom it was addressed, and ulteriorily for the peru sal and admiration of her friends. It is arti ficial and elaborate, and shows a calmness and self-possession quite iuconsisteut with deep feeling. heb orncioN of m’farland. As to McFarland himself, I believe now, as I have believed for years, that he was a man bom to do a murder. The fact that he was always uttering threats of bloodshed does not so mnch convince me of this as the fact of his temperament, which, partly from hereditary causes, partly from his nationality, and partly from bad education, bad become one of un controllable violence. I believe he feared this himself WHT SHE WANTED TO TESTIFY AT HER HUS BAND'S TRIAL. When the trial of his life commenced I com miserated him deeply. I knew that death which seemed so infinitely sweet and peaceful and blcqik!, when I tamed from Mr. Richard son's death-bed, was to this unhappy man the most terrible of horrors. I hoped with all my heart that he would escape the barbarous pen alty of a barbarous law. And when I heard that Judge Davis was engaged in the case I went to him and said: “You understand fully that in this case I have one interest The man on trial is on trial for his life, but I am no less on trial than he, and for something in finitely dearer to any woman than life could be. The best friends I have are assailed with me, good people who have befriended both the prisoner and myself If yon can only let in a little light of truth in all this cloud of abuse and calumny I beg that you will do it For the rest I hope this man will not be con victed, and no one is more willing to believe him insaue than I am." IIER CONCLUSION. It is well known that I have been on trial before a New York court as much as Dahiel McFarland, and for a crime more heinous and more bitterly punished in a woman than mur der committed by a man. And it is clearly seen bgall who see dispassionately, that wher ever a loop-hole was opened for any tinth about my conduct or Mr. Richardson's, it was immediately stopped* . I have tasted to- its dregs the cup of justice which, in the nine teenth century, men born of women mete ont to one whose worst crime was the mistake of marrying a man who was half madman from natural inheritance, half brute from natural proclivity. Of the justice I have received, let those who read my story be Judge Lawrence wants Indies appointed as census takers. Letter from Washington. Correspondence of the New Era]’ Washington, May 10,1870. The information contained In your issue of the 7th insf , that your valiant and loud mouthed State Treasurer; * who has made Washington ring again with his protestations of peculations by tho State officials, had ut terly failed to come to the scratch, even with reassertion of his dirty slanders. This infor mation, I say, surprised nobody bore. His confederates in the slander trade always knew that their stock in trade was nothing but wind, and the parties here who wore waiting for the investigation were equally well satisfied that Angier’s charges were all talk, for politi cal effect Bat it is veil to have even such insignificant politicians as ho is exposed, that the world may learn their tricks. What will be the subterfuge of lies to which these gentlemen—heaven save the mark—will flee for shelter when the next struggle on the Georgia bill comes ol£ I suppose bis Satanic majesty only knows. I am looking for the daily advent of Bryant, Angier, Bradley and the balance of them, and when they come will post yon of their doings. I hope their phunds” ore not exhausted. I would be willing to contribute a week's salary to help them here, just to see how they will squirm, twist and lie to avoid their pending doom. Can’t yon take np a collection and send Aaion Alpeoria and Bully Eryant back to our loving embrace? I beg Aaron’s pardon for associat ing him with Bryant, but I have partly atoned for it by naming him first Angier, who stands to-day a self-convicted slanderer, I don’t could be induced to come back. Has he called in loans enough yet to.pay the warrants? Since I last wrote yon there has been nothing doing in legislative circles. Yesterday the House did nothing at all, bnt go up, look around the Hall in its summer dress, have one call of the yeas and nays on adjournment and then go out to loaf where they pleased for tho balance of the day. On Saturday quite a party weut over into Virginia on a little excursion along the Alex andria, Loudon and Hampshire Railroad.— There was plenty to eat, considerable to drink, and a good time generally, with the usual number, I suppose, of resulting headaches.— I can’t say that I was very highly impressed with the desirability of a residence any where along the line, either for pleasure or business. If, however,-1 had as good company, and as much of it as there was that day, aud as con stant a supply of the solids and fluids for all hands, I think I could endure a week or per haps a month in that region with a remark able degree of eqannaminity* My brief visits to Virginia have now con vinced me that she is the most enterprising or prosperous State in tills Union, by considera ble odds. However, I am told, and I take it for granted it is so, that in some sections there is a vast improvement consequent upon the influx of capital and citizens from other sec tions; of this I didn't see many evidences along this particular road. Just at present this road don’t go anywhere and when it gets there it just tains round and comes back again. It was started I believe for the purpose of going clear to tho Ohio river at about the mouth of the Big Sandy, and if it gets there it will no doubt be a valua ble route of travcL At Hamilton, its present terminus, it seems to be wanting to get ready for a big jump across the Blue Ridge moun tains. ' To-day Congress is fairly at work again. In the House the Northern Pacific Railroad bill is under consideration, and . will doubtless be passed when the final vote is reached. There is, iicywever, a little party of forty-five or fifty who are opposed to it, and they ore striving by parliamentary fillibostering to defeat it They will not however, be able to do more than to delay the passage, as a strong combi nation has been made between the friends of this and the Southern route, which will result in passing both measures. — In the latter, you of the South have more or less interest, as it is designed to afford the Southern States the ready means of access to the Pacific coast When these two bills are passed wej^fRthen have provided for at least three greawjfiPRigh routes to the Western coast of the country, and after that is accomplished I think we may then wisely conclude to hold on to the balance of our territory for the future ends of our citizens Yesterday in the Senate, Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, discussed at some length the ques tions of Free Trade aud Protection. Ho took the ground that the West and South to-day will be more beautiful by fair protection than any other sections. In Georgia, where yon have been already waiting for the developing hand of industry, the richest store houses of manufacturing material, I should judge that his remarks would be appreciated. I, there fore, include in my letter a brief extract from his speech: PROTECTION MOST NEEDED SOUTH AND WEST. There are many establishments started in the West, and, since the close of tho war, in the South, in consequence of our war tariff To cut down the tariff largely at once, be yond the unquestionable fact that the revenue cannot be spared, would be to strangle in n the cradle these new and extensive enter- irises which our policy has invited. Sacha course would be even more unjust to the men thus employed than to their employers. The data for any statement os to the aston ishing development of manufactures in the West and South are not obtainable; but last August an exhibition of textile fabrics was held at Cincinnati, representing one hundred and fifty-five exhibitors from twenty States by over three thousand samples of piece goods. A more extensive exhibition even might have been made in other departments of manufac tures. Let us not rudely crush out the many thou sands of hopeful enterprises but just started where they are much needed as educators of the people as auxiliaries of their material pros perity. The action of the States of Maine and Ver- m ont—neither of th pTn especially manufactur ing States—shows that in me judgment of their respective Legislatures the encouragement given to the manufacturing interests of the country has not been too great, for both of these States have offered and now offer, be yond the protection found in the tariff, addi tional inducements to all that may be estab lished within their limits. Maine, by statue of March 8, 18G4, enacts that all manufactures thereafter commenced shall be exempt from taxation for ten years, provided the towns in which they are located consent to the same. Vermont, by statute of November 21, 1867, has the same provision for five years. Those States thus invite manufactures because they know the advantages which would accrue to their people. If such statutes are wise in Maine ana Vermont, why not in South Caro lina and Alabama? Other States through manufactures have largely increased their wealth and population, and Vermont and Maine feel very much os did Themistocles when he declared “that the trophies of Hfli- ades would not allow him to sleep.” The leaders of public opinion in the South have heretofore persistently denounced all those engaged in manufactures and all who gave them any countenance. They bad a class of laborers without wages which it was neither useful nor aofe to advance or to protect All this is now changed. It is obvious that pro tection bv diversifying the industry will add immensely to the wealth of the Southern States. Self-interest will soon triumph over passion, and chronic prejudices will pass away. Capital will instinctively go where it is wanted ana safe to go, and it lias no invincible repug nance to migrating in % direction where it may find some assurance of hospitality. If unjust ly persecuted, it silently folds.its tents and de ports to lands of greater promise, to establish new emporiums of manufactures and trade where the surroundings are tolerant and con genial. The South, we may take it for grant ed, will not long consent to sacrifice its present vital interests to past theories of which slavery was so long the conspicuous prop, and which were ingulfed at the same moment when that prop was knocked asunder. The latter clause of this quotation, I ap prehend will some of the tli considerable force to gentlemen of democratic proclivities in your State, who have expressed a desire to make the climate rather too warm for such men from the North as thought of making instruments in your section, but l am in hopes that tht* dawning of a brighter day is at hand, when even the Democracy of Geor gia will begin to study their own Interests a little more thoughtfully, and will invite rather than repel the'wealth which seeks- enploy- ment along your streams of water power.

From the Express, 11th.] We have nothing to say concerning the right or the wrong of this determination of the com munity to iecure the safety of the conjugal tie seemingly at any hazard. The lact that the determination is made and will be adhered to is plain. It cannot be argued down. It cannot bo set askle. Proper or improper there it stands, and will surely be maintained. The laws concerning murder are, in such cases, a dead letter. Let tho free-lovers engrave this upon their memories. Public opinion is unan imous upon this point, and libertines will do well to bear forever about with them the recol lection that when they enter the sanctuary of a fellow-br ig’s household with intent to defile it they take their lives in their hands, and be come out-laws. From the Sou, 11th.] The ground upon which this acquittal was asked for by the defense was insanity at tho time the homicide was committed; but the verdict of the jury is not to be taken as based altogether upon this plea. Their minds were doubtless influenced to a far greater degree by tho circumstances which led McFarland to the act, thAn by the reasons that were assigned for believing him to have been crazy when he did it Let us hope that this tragedy, with its revela tions of social corruption, its awful catastrophe of death, and its prolonged exhibition in tho court room, may not be without good aud useful effects. If it shall avail to fix in the popular mind clearer ideas of the sanctions of the marriage tie, and of the duties of domestic life, its darker and more shocking features will flit be wholly unrelieved. May such wisdom be gathered from its teachings ! From the Times, lltli.] The jury thus saw, it may be presumed, that McFarland's provocation had been very great, and that it was of a nature to unsettle the foundations of his reason. They had then the evidence of medical witnesses, whose charac ter and motives are beyond suspicion, to the effect that they found in the prisoner every sympton of insanity. It was also proved that insanity had existed in his family. Even without reference, then, to the connection be tween Richardson and Mrs. McFarland, the jury conld scarcely have brought in any other verdict than the one they did. From the Tribune, 11th.] The trial of Daniel McFarland has ended in a triumph of assassination over law'. We had purposed a review of wliat professed to be the trial of the murderer, but was rather a trial of all who had been anywise identified or associated with liis victim—wherein any thing that could be made to prejudice them was allowed to be proved, * while everything that would serve to explain aud dispel the de ceitful appearances thus created was sup pressed—but it seems better, on reflection, to leave comment and criticism to others. We have full faith that the truth will ultimately vindicate itself, and that justice will be done to roe memory of "our murdered friend. From the Herald, 11th.] There is in the United States, happily, a great regard for the marriage tie. Even where it is not so well guarded by the laws, as in Indiana and other States, it is defended by public opin ion. Tho moral and religious sentiment of the community generally guards the sacred OHuriago relation, even where the laws are loose upon the subject, and iu spite of the de moralizing theories of our modern free lovers. In the case of McFarland this was exhibited in a remarkable mauner. But besides the gen eral sympathy which was probably felt by the jury for tho injured husband, there was a pe culiar feeling of revulsion against the free lov ers and their dangerous sentiments. Every right-minded person saw that the wholo of this terrible tragedy resulted from the loose and demoralizing views of that class of weak sentimentalists and pretended philosophers, male and female. From the Post, 11th.] Such a trial is of no value in the further ance of justice. It is a mockery of law, and ends in the open defiance of government and in weakening the bonds of organized society. McFarland Inis been proved guilty of a mur der which has hardly been surpassed in cow ardly atrocity in all the annals of private as sassination. That he had terrible provocation is not a defense; no man commits a murder without a motive, and the only use of the law is to control motives to crime. Bnt this man’s baseness is really too despicable to admit of any toleration. By the uncontradicted testi mony of Mr. Mark M. Pomeroy, he tried de liberately to sell the story and the evidence of his lamily wrongs, and of his wife’s shame for money. If the plea of insanity is made, it ought to be decided entirely apart from all other ques tions, and by a different tribunal, expert iu this question, and unembarassed by personal sympathies or by the presence of feeling in a crowd. 1.. til some amendment of this kind in our criminal procedure is made by law, there is no adequate security for life or for public order, against the maiice of any man who may deem himself to be wronged beyond endurance. From the Commercial Advertiser, 11th.] The worst feature of the case is that it was not McFarland who was on trial but the par ties engaged in encouraging Mrs. McFarland to abandon her husband. The parties them selves demonstrated this fact by employing counsel to defend them, which was in itself a most extraordinary proceeding. The develop ment of what seemed to be a conspiracy the part of perons known to hold very loose notions upon the subject of married relations to convict McFarland had also much to do with creating sympathy for the prisoner, and had its effect upon the jury. People general ly held these persons more or less responsi ble for the fearful drama. The result of this tral will, we regret to say, have the effect to de tract from the character of our criminal juris prudence. The teaching of the verdict is that the man hereafter who interferes between hus band and wife is a proper subject for assassin ation. Shocking as it is, the great body of the people appear to believe in it From the Telegraph, llthj The acquital of McFarland, then, is merely the'triumph of morality. In rendering the verdict “not guilty,” the jurymen performed a plain duty to society. At the same time, we credit them with having laid down a principle of moral law which will make such men and women as those who brought about the trag edy more cautious how they endeavor to put their infamous theories into practice. METHODISM. The Church “South” lu Council—The Memphis Convention—A. Proposition from the Northern M. E. Church So-colled. •Wednesday’s proceedings. Bishop McTyeiro presided. The Committee on Epescopacy made an ex tensive report The death of Bishop Soule was alluded to, and a recommendation to re lieve from active duty Bishops Andrews and Early on account of age was adopted. The following communication from Bishop Janes and Dr. W. L. Harris of the Methodist Episcopal Church (North, so-called) was pre sented after some discussion and an address from both gentlemen. COMMUNICATION: To the Bishops aud General Conference of jLhe Methodist Episcopal Church, South in Con ference assembled: Dear Brethren: The Commissioners ap- S tinted by the General Conference of the ethodist Episcopal Church in 1868, to treat with similar Commissioners from other Meth odist Churches, on the subject of union, at a meeting held in Philadelphia, November 22d, 1868, appointed the Rev. Bishop Janes and Rev. John McClintock, D. D., a deputation to bear to you a communication from them. Since then Dr. McClintock has deceased, and by the authority of the Commission the Rev. Dr. Wm. L. Harris lias been appointed to serve in his stead. The undersigned, now constitu ting the deputation at the seat of your session, for the purpose of presenting to you the com munication of the Commission, which we will be happy to do, either in person or by letter, as may best accord with your convenience and pleasure. Though we had promised ourselves tho satisfaction of spending several days in witnessing the proceedings of your Conference and enjoying the society of its members, the recent severe bereavement of our Church in the death of several of its chief ministers, makes it necessary for us to return as soon as wo can fulfill the simple duty assigned us. Truly aud affectionately yonrs, E. S. Jaxzs. W. L. Harris. Overton Hotel, May 11,1870. Tho communication was read and received. They then presented the following general proposition on the subject of a UNITED CHURCH. To the Bishops and General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Con ference assembled: Dear Brethren—By the action and au thority of the General Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, held in Chicago in May, 1868, the undersigned were appointed a commission on behalf of said church, to treat with a similar commission from other Metho dist churches, on the subject of union. The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church was also constituted a part of this commission. In May, 18G9, a communication was sent to the Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The fact that such a commis sion had been appointed and having expressed the conviction that it would be happy to meet a similar one from the Methodist Episcopal Church South, for the purpose contemplated in its appointment, was sufficient, bnt at the meeting of the commission held in Philadel phia November 23, 18C9, a resolution was unanimously adopted approving the aforesaid action of the Bishops; nevertheless the com mission os such, and as constituted by the General Conference, being desirous of dis charging its duties in the fullest and most ac ceptable manner deemed it proper to make a further communication on this subject, ad dressed to tho “Bishops and General Confer-’ dice of the Methodist Episcopal Church South,’’ to meet in Memphis in May, 1870. The fact that the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church appointed till commission, shows that in the judgment of that body there are now no sufficient reasons why a union may not be affected on terms equally honorable to all, and that equal reali zation of such union is very important and desirable. Hoping that you may see the subject iu the same light, aud that it may be your pleasure to appoint a similar commission to confer with us previous to the meeting of the next General Conference in 1872, and praying that you be prospered in all that pertains to the welfare of the Christian church, and desiring your pray ers in behalf of the church we represent, that we may share a like prosperity, We are Brethren, Yours in Christ, [Signed] E. L. Janes, Levi Scott, Mathew Simpson, E. R. Ames, D. W. Clark, Ed. Thompson, Luke Hitchcock, Daniel Curry, W. L. Ilarnes, Jam*s Pike, and others. Dr. Reeves moved that a Committee of nine bo appointed to take the matter under consideration. Adopted. A resolution was presented by Dr. Mitch ell proposing alterations in the marriage cere mony.

A resolution was offered by Dr. Cunning ham, of Va., on the subject of a church organ, to be confined to the subject of missions. Re ferred. After some furthbr business the conference adjourned. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. ed reserving his thunderbolts for the evening. Mr. Freeman Clark and Mrs, Lucy Stone pre sented various woman suffrage arguments, and the meeting adjourned. Mr. Clute, a Unitarian clergyman of Vine- Land, N. J., presented various arguments iu favor of suffrage, after which Mrs. Julia Ward Ho wo, a comparatively recent recruit from the ranks of poetry and magazine writing, said that as her auditors wero not at ail pre pared to comprehend her ideas of law, gospel, women and grace, she felt herself unable to bring her thoughts home to them. THE EMPRESS OP THE FRENCH, on entering her reception room made what has been styled a circular courtesy. She conr- tesied individually to every guest, and yet made one single courtesy apply to all. Mrs. Howe regretted her inability to imitate that courtesy, to each of those present, with regard to her ideas. She then enlarged on the nu merous views of the suffrage question, and al luded to its progress in England and Switzer land, and even in Italy, where, in their dreams of liberty, men were beginning to feel that no really free men could exist, unless free women stood by their side. Mrs. Lippincott (black silk and a black bonnet trimmed with violet) is announced as the noted GRACE GREENWOOD. Not being accustomed to speak extempore, she read from a manuscript, saying that she had claimed the ballot only for three classes of women—those who were single, with prop erty, those who were married, and those of whatever description who desired it. She as sured the men that the Fifteenth Amendment would not bring peace, as supposed, until a Sixteenth Amendment had been passed. She spoke of the oneness claimed for a couple in marriage, but thought that, according to a Lite murder trial verdict, the oneness was very lopsided. In speaking of the conservatism of the British Duke of Argyle on tho suffrage question, she quoted him as saying that a wo man should never appear on a platform except when on the point of being hanged. The speaker then quoted the well-known distich regarding women, as “A being not too bright and good For human nature’s daily food,” and said that she often applied the passage to man, and connected it with “cold missionary ” Mrs. Livermore then discussed the foolish tendency of books intended especially for young women, touched entertainingly on old maids, and demanded that as Christ regarded women ns free, so should modern society re gard them. ME. BEECHER then read a letter of greeting from Theodore Tilton, with his reply in the same strain. Tho latter was unanimously applauded. After this Miss Mary Davis read a report of the Now Jersey Woman Suffrage Association, and Mr. T. W. Higginson said that men and women were like the blades of scissora, never cutting so well as when together. Mrs. Tracy Cutler and Mrs. Livermore both spoke effectively upon the right of women to vote, clothing the old ideas in attractive garbs, aud Mr. Beecher reiterated in his peculiar vein the arguments which he has hitherto ad vanced. Congressman George W. Julian will speak to-day. Monetary and Commercial. Financial. The traneaclions have l>een light, at the following quotations: Buying. Selling.

Prices firm gt Tho “Union Woman’s National Suffrage Society” met in New York on the 11th. Rev. Theodore Tilton in tho Chair. At one side was Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, of imperishable comeliness, and on the other sat the brave old maid Miss Susan B. Anthony, attired, like her coadjutor, in rich black silk. Pretty Miss Phoebe Cozzens had changed her blue velvet coat of the day before, for a something-or-other envelopment of white, and sat, the queen rose of a dozen bouquets, which stood on a table before her. These floral tributes were rendered to the speakers at large. Several bewitching re porters of the gentler sex sat in front with pricked ears and dilated pupils. Tho pro ceedings began with the reading by pretty Mrs. Blake (black silk with violet trimmings,) of several resolutions approving a bill now before Congress, to pay women Government clerks the same salaries that are paid male clerks. Mr. Wilcox, a philosopher in specs, opposed the bill on the score of woman being more economical than men. Mrs. Lockwood sharply suggested that the philosopher there fore should have a smaller salary than men who consumed more whisky and cigars than himself. The philosopher wilted, and Miss Jennie Collins, of Boston, expiated upon the miseries of Massachusettsworking womeu. Mrs. Minor, of Missouri, asserted that inas much as the Federal Constitution had uotliing to say ogainst the voting of women, it might be assumed that they had a right to vote. Many women of that State, she said, intended to vote next fall, and if their ballots ’ were not accepted Judge Crum intended to carry the question into the Missouri courts, aud, if de feated, into the Supreme Court of tho United States. Mrs. Stanton read a resolution which affirm ed that the late decision in the McFarland case, like that of Cole and Sickles, was a virtual de claration that man might hold rr.orEr.TY in woman. It created a perpetual slave law for woman, and said that no friendly hand should dare, at the risk of life and reputation, feed, shelter or clothe the unhappy wives of depraved men, under any circumstances whatever. She re ferred the audience to her speech before the New York Legislature upon free divorce, de livered in 1861, and obtainable at the Revolu tion office. Mr. Stillman, of Rhode Island, talked awhile upon equal wages for men and wo-, men. Messrs. Allen and Davis and Mrs. Jo sephine Griffin likewise discoursed. Miss Su san B. Anthony propounded woman suffrage arguments, and the meeting adjourned. There was a lively gathering and a brilliant platform of handsomely dressed gentlewomen in the evening. Mrs. ‘Blake talked suffrage, Mrs. Gage expatiated on women as inventors and mechanics, and Mrs. Hozlitt of Michigan, was eloquent upon the large proportion of wo men who married men without loving them. Added to this, she advanced suffrage ideas in an original and powerful form. Mrs. Hazlitt Is young and pretty, with a black eye that conld pierce a pine plank. She is often called the ANNA DICKINSON OF THE WEST. Mis. Leggett, of this city, with a wealth of black curls, argued that there could be no lib erty without equality. Miss Anthony urged subscriptions to the cause, and Mrs. Stanton suggested an appeal for the admission of women to Columbia and Cornell Colleges, in tlfis State. Pretty Miss Phoebe Cozzens did not speak, as anticipated. It was resolved to bold a women’s meeting, subject to call, next week, to express SYMPATHY WITH MBS. m’faRLAND and her women friends, and indignation against McFarland and the jury who acquitted him. Mr. Tilton, after announcing that several of the ladies present would speak at tho Brooklyn Academy of Music on Friday night, dismissed the audience. AMERICAN WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION.
