LAT REPRESENTATION.
In attestation of the approval of the whole
Church of this measure, we are gratified to
see in this body so large a number of Lay Dele
gates, representing the intelligence, piety and
strength of tho Connection. We are sure that
we express the feelings of their clerical associ

them to their seats; and we shall gladly share
with them the tabors and responsibilities of
this chief Council of the Church.
THRII.L1XG SITUATION.
Tho Cincinnati Chronicle has the following,
dated IndianApolis, May 4th :
Yesterday afternoon the following noto was
dropped from a balloon higb in air, moving in
a southeasterly direction, near Montpelier,
Blackford county, in this State. It was lasten-
ed to a loose niece of wood and iron, weighing
about one ana a half pounds :
‘•Sailed from Toronto April 28, for New
York. Met with adverse winds, and by a sud
den movement of the balloon Mr. Lngrange
was thrown out—I suppose, os near as I could
determine, over tho Southern part of Michi
gan. Not knowing how to manage the ship,
it has been tossed to and fro in all directions
since he fell ont. I am alone, and no earthly
power can save me. I drape these lines, ho
ping some one will find them and commnui-
cate to my parents the tidings of my melan
choly fate. To Heaven I commend my soul.

Railroad* Unlit In 1S60.
During 1869 there were built in the United
States 6,588 miles of railroad - nearly twice as
many as in any previous year. Three hundred
new roods are projected or under contract,
which, when completed, will make 15,000 ad
ditional miles. This inarch of public improve
ment may be token as the fairest index of na
tional prosperity. What time, what country
can show anything like it ? The vitality and
power that colls into existence these magic
levers of commerce with a rapidity that mokes
reality almost a fable, most be wonderful in
deed

its weekly meeting last Saturday. Interesting

INCREASE OF SPIRITUAL LIFE.
Without intending a disparaging compari
son between the piety of the present day, and
of our fathers in the eady days of Metho
dism, we fed it right to say that we are defi
cient as to several matters which were for
merly regarded as aids and teats of Methodis-
tic piety. We allude, especially to the neglect
of ctass and prayer-meetings; of tasting and
abstinence; of family and secret prayer; and
the indulgence in worldly pleasures. In some,
if not all of these things, we fear our people, not
to say our preachers, too, fall below the pat
tern set us ny tne piety of our fathers in other
days. We do not mean that this declension
is universal, but gladly admit that there
are targe numbers who exhibit the an
cient marks of Methodistic piety in
an intelligent and ardent devotion
to God, and in firm attachment to
our doctrines and discipline. The action of
the last General Conference modifying the
rule ou class-meetings, so that attending them
should not be a condition of Church member
ship, has been construed, unfortunately, by
some as abolishing them. We do not so un
derstand it; aud we regard these meetings to
be so promotive of the spiritual prosperity of
the Church, aud so essential hi the efficient
working of our economy, that wo are very re
luctant to see them foil, in any measure, into
disuse. While attendance upon these meet
ings is not a condition of membership, yet we
do not consider that pastors have been released
from the appointment and oversight of leaders,
classes, anti at least a quarterly visitation, and
report We recommend to the General Con
ference the consideration of this subject in
connection with a pastor’s duty.

Below we extract from the able and inter

gret we have not space to publish in fall:
ADDRESS OF THE BISHOPS.
To the General Conference of tie JJ. £ Church
South:
Beloved Brethren: Wc would join you iu de
vout thanksgiving to God that another quad
rennial session of your body has occurred
Representing, as you do, all parts of our wide
field of tabor, conversant with their conditions
and wants, and invested with authority over
the whole Church, we beg respectfully to re
mind you of the importance of prayerful, vigi
lant, and impartial attention to the duties of
your delicate aud responsible position. Wc
trust that the subjects which may be brought
liefure you will be discussed and decided as ii:
the immediate presence of God, and with di
rcct refereec to the welfare of the whole
Church.
BISHOP SOULE.
With profound emotion we announce to you
that since your lost session our venerable and
beloved colleague, Joshua Soule, had deputed
this life. His death occurred in Nashville,
Term., March 6, 1867, in the 87th year of his
life, and the 70th year of his itinerant minis-
tiy. In many respects Bishop Soule was a
remarkable man. At the time of his death he
was, probably, the oldest traveling preacher
in America, if not in the world; and was thus
tho connecting link between the Methodism of
Wesley and Asbury and that of the present day.
Throughout his whole ministerial life he
was eminently devoted to God, and em
ployed exclusively in the service of the
Church; often filling positions of the highest
responsibility, and always honorably and use
fully. His mind was clear and vigorous, his
deportment dignified, and liis whole course
was marked by consistency, purity and un
swerving fidelity to principle. Whether viewed
as a man, a Christian or a minister, or as fill
ing the highest office in the Church for forty-
three years, his character deserves to be held
in the highest esteem, and his memory to lie
perpetuated in the history of the Church. Wo
devoutly thank God for such a man, and for
the gilts and grace which rendered his event
ful life so useful, his declining years and dos
ing day so beautifully serene, so sublimely tri
umphant.
THE ITINERANT SYSTEM.
But it is a matter of devout gratitude that
poverty and persecution—even unto stripes
and death, in some cases —have only tested
and increased the attachment and "fidelity of
our ministers and the general body of our
membership, to the Church. The itinerant
E rcachers, although very meogerly supported,
ave, in general, been faithful to their ordina
tion vows, and have persevered, os best they
could, in performing their duties. By the
blessing of God this has resulted in the main
tenance of oar Itinerant system, and the steady
and increasing prosperity of all the enterprises
We invite your attention, specially, to the
subject of Family Religion and the Christian
training of children. Its importance cannot
be over-estimated. Regular family worship,
morning and night, accompanied with the
consecutive reading of the Scriptures, is so
morally fit, reasonable, and salutary, that to
us it seems strange that tl»e keatjs of Christian
families can feel guiltless in neglecting it
While we rejoice in tho greatly increased in
terest exhibited in behalf of Sunday-schools,
we ore sure that there can be no substitute for
religious training in the family. The impress,
whether for good or evil, made by family-in
struction and example is indelible. In the
Home-circle is found a domestic and Patriar
chal Church; the training-school of the king
dom of Christ; the pledge and foretaste of the
bliss of the kingdom above.
Indulgence in worldly and fashionable di
versions is another great enemy of earnest
piety which is invading the Church, and threat
ening to estrange our children from us. Danc
ing, in particular, whatever plausible excuses
may be pleaded for it, is destructive to the
growth, not to sny the very existence of spirit
ual religion in those who delight to indulge
in It Generally, it is a species of “reveling”
condemned and forbidden by the word of
God; and its tendency is evil only.
THE MISSIONARY WORK.
We regret that we have not been able to ex
tend our Foreign Missionary work, since yonr
body assembled last, owing to the want of
funds. Indeed, after all the efforts which
have been made, we have not liquidated in full
the old debt contracted during the war. There
is, however, a strong probability that this
very desirable result will be accomplished be
fore long. Our Domestic Missions have mul
tiplied, aud with increasing usefulness. Your
attention is particularly invited to tho great
and effectual door now open iu tho West—
From the mouth of tho Kansas river to the
Golden Gate, and from tho Rio Grande to Pu
get’s Sound, there is a field becoming popu
lous more rapidly than any iu which our fath
ers labored in their day. No louder cadi has
fallen on the car of the ministiy than that
which comes to ns from this vast region.
Other forms of religion, some of them cc
rapt, are pressing their missions with aston
ishing vigor. All along the line of the Union
and Pacific Railroad they have secured real
estate; and at many places they already have
church edifices on ccmmanding sites. They
lavish money iu gaining a foothold there,
where, in the course of a few years, as they
foresee, there will be populous and enter
prising comnmnties. Much of this pop
ulation will be from our own country',
and in sympathy with us; yet, up to
this moment, we have done nothing towards
the occnpancy of the country, lour Bishops
are receiving repeated and most nrgeut calls
for men. But in the very nature of the case,
we can send no men unless the Church at
home will send money to meet the first expen
ses incurred. This is all properly missionary
ground at present, including Oregon and
Southern Californio. In Central California,
the work is for the most part self-sustaining,
and, indeed, prepared to aid the common en
terprises of the Church. We feel assured that
money expended on this great field will yield as
rich a harvest as has ever l»een gathered from
such sowing.
SUPPORT OF THE MINISTRY.
We must perpetuate an Itenerant ministry,
separated to the holy office, and consecrated
to the care of souls: with all of time and
thought and energy devoted to their sole and
appropriate work. But to enable them to do
this the Church must make provision for a
proper supply of their wants. While it af
fords us pleasure to say that in most of our
wide field of operations there lias been wit
nessed a decided improvement, yet there is no
doubt of the foct that in some sections there is
still a great deal of negligence in raising the
means of support, and of consequent priva
tion and suffering among tho preachers. Do
not the members of the Church Leed to be
specially instructed and trained iu this class
of religions obligations ?
SUPPLY OF CANDIDATES FOB THE MINISTRY.
Our attention has been, of late years, ar
rested by the inadequate supply of young men
offering themselves to the work of the minis
try, either for the home or the foreign mis
sionary work. May wo not assume that
Christ, the Redeemer of all men, the Interces
sor for all, does call men to the holy office, in
numbers sufficient to the demands of His cause
in the world ? The fault must be with us. How
soon would an increase of piety and zeal in
the Church supply the remedy for this defi
ciency. What can be done to arouse our whole
communion to united, fervent prayer to “ the
Lord of the harvest that He will send forth la
borers into His vineyard ? ”
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Wc think you may find it practicable to
adopt measures that will secure a uniform
scheme of instruction, with texts furnished at
our owti Publishing House; together with the
enlargement of the “Sunday School Visitor,”
and possibly, in addition to that paper, the
publication of a monthly journal adapted to
teachers and the older classes of pupils. It is
vexy desirable that there should be an im
provement both in the character and price ol
the books prepared for the use of Sunday
school libraries. We recommend the appoint
ment of of a suitable person to be specially en
trusted with tho oversight of these vital in
terests.
LITERATURE OF THE CHURCH.
We cannot consent to surrender to others
the vast power and influence wielded by the
press: no Church can safely do so. In pro
portion to the potency of this influence is the
solemn obligation resting on us to guard and
guide the press. It must maintain a high re
ligious tone—neither subsidized by wealth or
powet, nor perverted by ambition to partisan
and political purposes. It should aim steadily
at conserving the eonnectionalisin of the
Church; and be committed to trustworthy and
competent men who love the whole Church too
well to put in peril her unity and peace. We
should hail with rapture the day that saw a
first-class religions and literary newspaper in
every Methodist family, and our standard
works in every library.
There is allow ns to add, pressing need of
greater facilities for procuring our standard
literature on the Pacific slope. Our Church
has suffered greatly from the difficulty of ob
taining even a Hymn Book and Discipline.
If, in your wisdom, any relief can be afforded,
a great want will be supplied.
We congratulate you upon the ability and
fidelity of those to whom the Journalism of
the Church has been entrusted during the past
four years, and especially upon the energy,
ability, and success of the Agent and of tho
Editor of the Publishing House. j
COLORED CONFERENCES.
Soon.after the last session of your body,
the Bishop proceeds to *iny into effect the
plan adopted for the religions benefit of our
colored members. The effort met with the
approval and concurrence of many of them,
notwithstanding tho prejudices which .were
attempted—too snccessfqBy in many instan
ces—to be instilled into their minds against
us. A great number of them still retain their
attachment to tho Church, and ministry that
had in the past bestowed so much attention
and labor upon their religious instruction,
and through whose instrumentality they had
been'enlightened and converted. Still, it is
true that many, thus disposed, have been
alienated from our communion by political
and ecclesiastical influences.
Conformably to tho wish of tho last General
Conference; we have organized and presided
over five Annual Conferences, composed ex
clusively of colored members; have formed
forty-five districts, with circuits and stations,
in all of which, with a few exceptions in which
white preachers have volunteered to act os sup.
plies, our colored brethren are performing the
duties of presiding elders and pastors. The
principal field of these operations extends
through portions of Georgia, Tennessee, Ken
tucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ala
bama, South Carolina add Florida, and is
widening by applications fw. the organization
of new Conferences. The oolored preachers
have condscted themselves, both in their An
nual Conferences and in the-exercise of their
pastoral duties, so as to win the confidence and
co-operation of those of their 'white brethren
who have become best acquainted with their
deportment It is onr purpose, unless other
wise advised by yonr body, to call a General
Conference, to be holden next winter, for the
purpose of organizing them into an entirely
separate Church, and thos enabling them to
become their own guides and governors.
DISTRICT MKET1XU8.
The suggestion of District Meetings, origin
ating at the last session of the Genera! Con
ference, has been practically adopted, under
the sanction of the Annual Conferences, with
signal benefit to the cause of religion. At
these meetings the lay representatives to the
Annnal Conferences nave been elected; the
leading minds of the Church, lay os well as
clerical, have been brought together, impressed
and moved with new zeal; the Bishops, as far
as they eould flnd the opportunity to attend,
have had a new and important field of influ
ence opened to them, and the results have been
of great value to all the prominent interests of
the Chnrcb, spiritual as well as economical.
The address was heartily approved by many
leading members of the Conference and refer
red to appropriate committees,

Kalamazoo, Mich., May 3, 1870.
Our party left Cincinnati on an early morn
ing train, disguised, in order to deceive the
police, who would otherwise have foiled to
comprehend that we meant business. For ob
vious reasons, full names will not be given in
this account
M. H. was disguised as a baggage master.
He remarked to your reporter, confidentially,
that he bedam if he was going to lose all liis
time iu this foolishness, and be would just
take this opportunity to seo whether the Morn
ing Commercial was promptly delivered along
the whole lino, and it he foond any those
biggodd agents slinking—and he closed the
sentence by bringing his hand down on my
shoulder with unpleasant emphasis.
W. McL. was disguised in the most impene
trable manner, in Forest’s costamo of Meta-
mora. I learn that he belonged to one of the
Miami tribes of Indians, so that this was a
natural disguise. He had not been aboard
more than five minntes before every ^porter
ou the train had borrowed money of him.
It is not proper that I should describe the
entire party, many of whom would doubtless
wish to remain Unknown. For myself, I have
no fears, having seen service, but most of the
gentlemen may feel some timidity about hav
ing their names connected with this dangerous
business.
The preliminaries of the duel were arranged
here comfortably and in security, and nothing
of consequence happened except that one of
the seconds, in loading the pistols of his prin
cipal, accidentally shot away the first joint of
his thumb, and narrowly escaped killing the
chambermaid. This was to have been ex
pected, however, os the gentleman had never
loaded a pistol in his life, and had to ask the
chambermaid what the hammer of the pistol
was for. He thought the pistol could be dis
charged by inserting the ramrod iu the breech
when one was ready to fire.
About lour o’clock in the morning the whole
party left the hotel in the most secret and mys
terious manner, all going ont by different ways
—some through doors and some by windows—
so as to mislead any person who might have
accidentally seen any of the party. We found
that same objectionable policeman on the alert,
and he _ was promptly^ knocked down and
kicked into insensibility, as the only way of
getting rid of him.
There was a great wrangle on the grounds
about measuring off the distance. J. B. McC.
was determined that he would “step it off,”
but it was unanimously objected by all the sec
onds of both principals that his legs were too
short. The F. C. said his honorable friend
had made one pretty wide straddle, from Radi
cal correspondent to Democratic editor, and he
thought he would do.
4 D—n it! don’t point that pistol this way in
that careless manner, or I shall withdraw from
the case! ” roared one of the seconds, as
H-—d flourished his pistol. McL. wrs prac
ticing on the cock and half-cock, so that when
the time came he would be sure to make no
mistake. I just expected that somebody would
get hurt, and I began to feel certain it would
not be one of the principals either.
Finally the seconds declared that everything
was ready, and the principals took their places.
As a compliment to Mr. McC., who felt rather
sore over the short leg business, he was al
lowed to give the word, which he did os fol
lows:
Arreyeriddy? Won, two, three—shoot and
be damned toyez."
Simultaneously one pistol went off and the
other one didn’t
McL. struck the ground about half way
between the two, and a yard or so to their
right
H d’s pistol did not “go off”
“Who loaded that pistol V” demanded he,
fiercely.
T did,” said one of the seconds, falteringiy.
And on investigation it turned out that he
had put in the cartridge (fixed ammunition)
wrong end up.
“You d—d fool, Don’t you know anymore
about loading a pistol than that!” roared H.
The poor man protested he thought that
was the right way, and wanted to know why
the devil they whittled the upper end of the
bullet to get a point, unless for the conveni
ence of loading, in order that it might be got
in easily? Nobody seemed able to answer
this auestion.
. McL. declared liis honor was satisfied, bat
H d swore like a pirate or Horace Greeley
at this, and demanded another shot—or,at least,
one shot. Said he felt it in his bones that if
he could only get a shot he could knock the
d—d daylight out of somebody. The seconds
by this time began to feel os if they were vete
rans, and they unanimously decided that the
gentlemen should have one more shot H—d’s
seconds at first claimed that he was one shot
behind, and that McL. should not fire until
H. caught up; but H. settled the business by
shouting: “If he will only shoot at me, so as
to make it a safe thing for me, he can shoot
away all day if he likes.” So the pistols were
carefully loaded, and everything got right this
time. Each grasped .his pistol firmly, like a
watchman’s dub, aud waited for the word.
The explosion of both pistols was the signal
for a yell from a wounded second on each side.
One of H d’s seconds had a bad flesh
wound on the lower end of the spine; and one
of McL.*s seconds was shot through the com
missary department
This ended the fight
Tho F. C. said, in the name of humanity and OFFICIAL
mercy he must protest - against this bloody
quarrel going any further. He appealed to the
seconds of the gentlemen respectively, whether
the honor of both parties ought not to be sat
isfied by the blood already shed.
The seconds said tremulously, “Certainly—
what time did tho next train leave?”
And we dandled up the wounded seconds
the best way we could, and hurriedly deported,
H. and McL. going to Canada, with their arms
about each other’s waists and tears in their
eyes.
And thns ended the great dueL
ADVERTISEMENTS.
BRADLEY.
Tlie Democratic Leader Stop* In Augusta,
En route to Washington, and Speaks a
Piece.
Aaron Alpeoria Bradley.—A day or two since
this somewhat notorious colored individual ar
rived in this city, and on last Sunday night it
was announced in the colored churches that he
would deliver an address in front of the City
Hall on the following afternoon. Yesterday
the “ calls ” were circulated, which invited oil
opposed to the new system of slavery in Geor
gia inaugurated by Bullock and Terry, to at
tend the meeting to be held that evening.
About half past four or five o’clock the wauhoo
of the Ogechee mounted the steps of the City
Hall, and commenced his address to a few
hundred oolored men and women who had as
sembled in front of the building.
The harangue of tho “Senator from tho
First District” lasted about an hoar and a
half, and was based on a petition and a series
of resolutions which the sneaker said he in
tended to present to the United States Con
gress. These stated, in substance, that a new
sytern of slavery had sprang up in Georgia,
nearly as bod as the old one—viz: the chain-
gang system, or the hiring out of convicts to
railway contractors, who starve, whip, work
and shoot them to death; that General Terry
had refused to break up this iniquity, and
that Bullock was believed to have an interest
in the operation; asking that both Bollock
and Terry be removed, and General Sheridan
be appointed to the command of Georgia.
Iu support of this petition the wauhoo spoke
denouncing Teriy, Bullock and, wliat he truth
fully termed, the mongrel Legislature. He
charged that the men now running the State
government were not Republicans, as they
claimed to be, but the betrayers of that party.
He was particularly severe on the State Road,
of which Bollock is President, and its man
agement, stating that oolored men who wished
to ride upon it, and had paid full faro, w ere
not allowed to enter the decent cars, but were
made to enter cattle boxes. He ridiculed Bul
lock's stories about the Ku Klux, saying that
they were gotten up for effect. Tho speech
throughout was exceedingly bitter and severe
upon the Bollock ring, characterizing the
Governor as a weak, dishonest and vain
who engaged in plundering the State, and who
had become completely spoiled since his ele
vation to power—the heighth of his ambition
being to wear his breeches in his boots, ride a
fine horse, and who carried his head so for
back, because he had not brains enough to
hold it forward.
The speech was well received by liis au
dience, and at ita conclusion a targe number
of signatures were added to the petition.

GEORGIA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
TO ALL WHOM IT MAI' fOXCKRS.
ATLv. d, GEORGIA, April 25,1870.
this notice, that on WEDNESDAY, tho 22d June
next, an election will bo held in this city, to fill the va
cancy. AR members, as well as those who may become
for the year 1870, and to access to the Fair Grounds,
and the privilege of exhibiting articles for premium,
without farther charge, will be entitled to vote. Mem
bers who live at a distance can vote by proxy or by en
dorsing their ballots to the President. The order, and
mode, and place of holding the election, will be pub
lished in the newspapers of the city, on the morning
of the election. Persons wishing to become candidates
must make it known in such time and manner as they
deem proper.
The President sought to obviate the expense and in
convenience to members and tho necessity of holding
this election at a season so important to planters, by
addressing a letter to those gentlemen who were sup
posed to be legal members of the Society—giving them
the names of the gentlemen who wero candidates, and
asking them to communicate to him by letter their
choice, intending, when all tho votes were received, to
open them in the presence of Mr. E. C. Rawson, the
resident member of the Executive Committee, and the
Assistant Secretary, and announce the result When
the time had nearly arrived when these votes were to be
opened and counted, a communication was received
from a number of gentlemen, who, perhaps, had been
members for a previous year, but who were not mem
bers by the payment of the initiation fee, $2. claiming
the privilege of voting, and declaring that if not per
mitted to vote by paying now tho 82 fee, they would con
test the election as illegal, and resist the payment of the
salary of any Secretary elected without their votes
being counted, as illegal. Pending the time between
the determination to hold the election in the manner
first proposed and the counting out of the votes, many
gentlemen had called on me to know if persons who
paid now and became members could vote in this elec
tion. I decided, and so informed them, that it was not
lawful or right for persons, after the polls were opened
and the election in progress, who were heretofore sc
indifferent to tho interests of the Society, as not to be
come members, now, in the eleventh hour, to take ad
vantage of locality and proximity to the scene, aud
come in, and. by means and numbers, carry ai
portant election over the heads of those few legal
bers who. merely through motives of pure and unself
ish interest in the cause of Agriculture, renewed their
membership, and thus gave their names and means to
the society. This ruling was in accordance with the
individual life membership, and $2 membership
for the year only in which it was made, the year expir
ing with the close of the first Annual Fair thereafter.
1 am conscious of rectitude and no personal interest
in this matter. Ever anxious in my administration of
the business ef8bs Society, to be legal and just, and. to
extend the influence of the Society, and to produce the
greatest harmony, I have condtuded to yield to tin
views of the gentlemen whose interest in behalf of one
of the candidates induced them to mako the protest
referred to, though in justioe to the motives of the gen
tlemen referred to, I must express my belief that they
made the threat to attack the validity of the election
proposed to be held in ignorance of the rules of the
Society.

tice of his profession, during which time he has treat
ed thousands of cases of all forms of diseases, both
acute and chronic, now offers hia services to the afflict
ed throughout the Southern States. He has thorough

ble ; such aa cancers, piles, gravel, diabetes, chronic
rheumatism, consumption, and many female diseases.
As evidence of cure, a large number of certificates can
