They bare preached nearly 15,000aermone,bave sttenatd about 3.000 prayer meetings, be- - - ”—*!0.500 religious visits and dis- 9 of religious tracts, !ides making 20,o00 religious visits and d a- tribatinp 165.500 PUM of religious tracts, constituting 141 Sufiday achools and bop- Sing nearly 3.0U0 converts. To accom- Sffill this required 3.M0 weeks of labor *nd the traveling of 140,000 miles. As regards the work of our Foreign board, • the following is a summary of its rep-rt: The number of missionaries, naUve and for eign is ninety-five; their stations and out- stations are forty-two; the increase of membership has been 175: the pupils of the Sunday and day achools number 084; the church membership is 1,141; the con tributions on the fields amount to 11.077; the home receipt* have been I80.4P5 87. The work is expanding aignally in each of the five continents in which our mission aries labor. Next year at least five chap els should be built, and at least ten addi tional missionaries should be sent out. The receipts of our two boards have been fair during the last year, although * not as large as they should have been ; for, in round numbers, the Foreign Board re ceived 190.000 and the Home Board fm.500; and this money, the voluntary missionary contributions of the constituents of this convention, has been expended (except - - - * ungroia A CARD FROM DR. FELTON. Hlo Views on State and National Politics. Atlanta Constitution. Near Cabtexsville. Ga., May 8, 18SI.— Editors Constitution: Your request,through a mntual friend, for my views upon the political situation came at a time when I could not comply for want of leisure, and even now my farm and its cares will only give me opportunity for a brief letter. I assure you it affords me real pleasure to discuss political questions with you-when we can talk freely, without any of the ex citements of a political canvass. When the demands of an organization give so much ferocity to public criticism, and u much bitterness and unfairness crop out in spite of the best intentions, it is diffi cult to argue or present any question fairly. CAPTAIN JACKSON. As I am not a candidate for any office and entirely willing to rest upon my past poll deal record, this is, perhaps, the time aud the opportunity to become better ac quainted with each other in a political sense, and I don’t know when 1 have felt so much encouraged for the fu'ure of Geor gia as I did this forenoon in reading Cap tain Jackson’s article in your paper. In- dependentismwith me is perhaps a more cherished creed than with many other people. My efforts to restore to this part of tne country the purity of the ballot box and to relieve our people from the tyranny of the caucus as understood and enforced by the “machine” in Georgia, was to me a patriotic work. What I have done, was always considered my duty—and what I have failed to do, has not been a failure of the heart, but of the judgment, perhaps; but I feel greatly encouraged for the suc cess of a principle, when Captain Jackson reiterated to-day this platform of twelve years ago, nnd I found this declaration to be identical with my own often expressed opinion. . ■ Allow me to repeat a few words: “I am a Democrat, and will always be found at my post, when I approve »he party’s policy: when I am convinced the Republ’ ifi Ifi is right, my duty is to Republican party lupport it on that occasion.’ In that declaration I find the elements of a sound policy and a healthy patriotism. I also remember the endorsement given to CaptAin Jackson two years ago as the leader ot the Democratic organisation, and I feel convinced now, that the i»arty ap proves the principle of indepenaentism— even though it is not prepared to swallow the name—on which point I am prepared to testify. t . The action of the Democratic party In refusing to bind the votes of the Democrat ic Congressmen to the vagaries of the Mor rison bill, is another advanced step to ward political freedom. The “caucus should not bind the consciences or votes of members on questions of legislation.” You will pardon me for saying I have stood just there for more than ten years, and have seen the day, when it was con siderable trial to face a torrent ofunfriend- „ ly criticism for daring to obey my con- *I science and to aerve my constituents in 1 I .....nniin «n n .ntiBA tJ iltltV but his candidacy will be obliged to be de fensive, if Georce W. Curtis, of Harper's Weekly, Is to be believed, and no one ques tion* the strength of his leadership for the Republican party. In r/iy opinion, con sidering the divisions in both parties upon the tariff, the canvass will become a per sonal one, and it will add nothing to the security of our Republican institutions to blacken and defame the future President, as a method to elect either a Democrat or Republican executive. Mr. Randall or Mr. Abram Hewitt would be a fine nomination for the Democrat*. Both are able, patriotic statesmen, true and honest. Senator Bayard or ex-Senator Thurman, would fill the executive position very ably. Both are safe and trustworthy. The'r brave advocacy of the Thurman funding bill will forever endear them to the American heart. They, with 8enator Edmunds, stood like a firm but wark for the defense of the people and sinking party differences, they with stood the attack of a giant mo nopoly that was seeking to despoil the tax payers of these United States of 150,000,000 of dollars. Senator Edmunds deserves the thanks of the country for this noble, patriotic work, and his party would honor itself to nominate him. General Grant is the strongest man In the Republi can party, by long odds. Mr. Arthur de serves well of his party, because he has conducted his administration very ably un der all the circumstances. Mr. Blaine s partisans intend, however, to defeat him at all hazards. With so many able, clear men in both parties, it would be the height of folly to force a miserable personal cam paign on this country—full of ugly facts and disastrous exposures. OUG11T TO HAVE BEEN DEFEATED. I voted for Mr. Tilden in 1875. The sev enth district gave him the largest majori ty in Georgia and perhaps in the United States, but I could not entourage his present candidacy, for obvious reasons. The “Morrison bill” was judiciously set aside in my opinion. The South is too poor in the agricultural line, at least to kill off or stagnate a single manufacturing interest, widen interest alone create* a dtmand for our product*. 8o Ipng as this country Is forced to pay millions of inter est on an immense war debt. I prefer to tax foreign luxuries, and product* of foreign labor, rather than these American industries. Neither do I think any man in this Union can be elected President who would thus antago nize our home productions and throw wide the gates for the entrance of cheap foreign products, made by the pauper slaves of monarchies and empires, to the detriment of our own free citizenship. The South can risk the same policy on the tariff that has made the North so prosperous in all her industries, agricultural manufacturing, and commercial. Very respectfully, Wn.H.

Theeleciton of Grand Lodge officers will be held to-day at 11 o'clock. The question of biennial sessions of the Grand Lodge will also be discussed and acted upon to-day. The representative* in session are from Georgia. Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and North and South Carolina. At night the members of the Grand Lodge were entertained by Magnolia Lodge No. 3 at their lodge room by ice cream and refreshments, where enjoyment, good feeling and genuine pleasure ruled the hour. This afternoon the xpembera will be given a carriage ride over the city by Mag nolia Lodge. The Ancient Order of United Woik- men was organized in 1868, and is the old est beneficiary order now in the United States, and numbers 135,000 members jn the United States and Canada. The griAd lodge of Georgia was organized in 1878, and in 1880 Alabama and Florida were added to it, and in 1882 Mississippi and the Carolina* were added, so that it now con tains six States. A l»eneficiary certificate in the order calls for $2,000 at death. The disbursements to widows and orphans have been more than $000,000 since the or der wa? organized, and it now expends more’than $150,000 each month of the year.

The news of the panic In Wall street was received in the city yesterday, and read with considerable interest by business men. In the brokers' offices were knots o ' men talking over it, and whenever a telegraph man appeared on tli. street he was sub jected to a round of inquiries for the latest telegram, just as if Macon had lost thou sands ot dollars by tlie shrinkage of Wes tern Union and other stock. Local bonds dropt>ed a little In price, and money loans held back. The broiers scarcely knew how to quote any of our bonds, and were In a white heat of excitement. The news apread like wildfire. Major W. H. Rosa, whose operations In New York are the largest itrhips of any man in Macon, was as calm and placid aa a morning in May. His correspondent had kept him fully poated during the day, and as he bad been saved considerable money by a sudden and lucay tranfer from the Marine Bank to another bank, he felt secure. He did not think nor oould be see any reason why the South could be at all affected by the panic. Captain Marsh Johnson, whose Interests In New York are heavy, was of the tame rtnlon. Macon was perfectly safe, and je most disastrous operations of Mall street would not affect us. Mr. I. C. Plant, of the First National Bank, one of the shrewdest of our finan cier*, said It was Impossible for the South to be hurt In the least. So fsr as Macon was concerned, there could not he the slightest hurt. In the first ptsce the cor respondents of the Macon banks were not effected nor concerned In the fai urea; In the second place Macon people did not dabble In such stocks as caused the trouble, and in the third place people knew better, after their experience of 1873, how to handle panics. The West, be said, might suffer some, but not the South. The following members of the Grand Lodge are in attendance: W. L. Platt. An- pu; S. M. Sobers, Macon; J. L. Hunt ruesville; N. J. Bussey.

'.SPECIAL TELIUXAM.] Arucm, May 14.—It is n well known fact that on the fourteenth of last Febru ary a Valentine ball was given by the Clinch fire company at their engine bouse. Near 12 o'clock, amid the shouts and laugh ter end sweet strains of music, Edward If. Philpot was stabbed to death by Charles R. Greer, both highly respectable young men. It sceme during a waltz Greer with his partner collided with Philpot, which aroused Pbllpot’s anger. Words were exchanged, resulting in a withdrawal of ’the ybung men to the street, where it is claimed Greer stabbed Philpot to death In self-defense. The trial haa been in pro gress since Monday. The testimony was concluded this evening at 4 o'clock, which will doubtless result in Greer's acquittal. The State is represented by Muj. Gary, Gen. Gartrell and Solicitor Wright, the prisoner by Clay FosterandJudgeTwiggs. To-morrow will end the case. Greer is a Macon boy, and should be acquitted, will be received with a perfect ovation.
