Tho facts al leged are that tho complainants were in at tendance upon a convention hold In Norfolk, ami were delegated to preach in Portsmouth on the 17th of May, 1885. Thov secured first- class passage on the ferry boat nnd wero roughly ordered to confine themselves to that ijorriou of tho boat separated for the lilacks. Braxton Wing ignorant of such rules talizc next week. Au animated forensic com bat may Ik* looked for in both houses. But as I said before, the commission will.probably be abolished. Iu the house an overwhelming majority of tlie member* ore outspoken in their ???denuncia tion of the lieu law, and it will doubtless bo repealed. The efforts to remodel the trial justice sys tem have not yet taken auy definite shape. The ultra-economists iu both houses will turn their guns upon sundry appropriations. They will seek to stop tho work on the Colum bia canal with withholding all appropriations for that purpose*. .Tones, the murderer of the three Presslys, iu Edgefield lost week, had a narrow escape from lynching. Home of the youug men, it w'as feared, were preparing to take him from the jail and lynch him last Monday night, hut no such thing was attempted. The authorities, however, deemed it best to rernovo the culprit cut of the way of danger, aud he was brought to Columbia for safe keeping. Joucs is now the occupant of a felon' apartment in the Richland county jail. He does not like his accommodations, and says he would like to go back to his old quarters iu the Edgefield jail, aud take liis chances of be ing hung hr a mob. Jones is a rather bad looking fellow. Home of his family in Georgia are trying to work up evidence that he was subject to fits of iusanity some years ago. His lawvers will probably urge tho insanity plea in his Itchalf. This is the only poxsiblo defense for them to make, but it will hardly go down with an Edgefield jury. Joucs is sullen and refuses to say anything about his crime. THE CON FERENCE. forcibly seized, though offering no resistance, and ejected from that part of tho liout occupied hy the white passengers. Johnston complied with the order, and for the remainder of the journey stood among the horses and tho freight. On landing nt Portsmouth hot A were arrested nnd held to hail for violating the lilies of the boat, but upon trial were ucquittcd. The declaration contains two counts. The first, false arrest nnd imprisonment, and tho second is presented for the first time, the novel law point of an action for discrimination on account of color against a citizen of the United States of African descent. Tbit, it i* claimed, involves a queatiou of intrinsic importance os to civil rights. _ Texas. A dastardly assassination occurred at Jack sonvllle, Texes, Thursday night, which which will probably result iu the lynching of four men. Alamt 0 o'clock,when within two miles of the village of Reynold. Cherokee county, Jackson McElroy nnd Phillip Owen, two reputable fanners, were fired upon from the roadside by several partica, who wero evidently lying in wait. Owen was instantly killed, Ids breast filled with slugs. 3f( Elroy had a premonition of danger, and was walking beside his horses. When tho attack wus made he fled tothe woods, pursued hy the murderers, who fired on him without success. Benching town, McElroy gave the alarm, nnd a posse waa immediately organised nnd guarded every road. Alamt midnight the poise rame upon five men. named George Ross. Ranee Mu sic, Benjamin Northcut, Lennder Northcut and Ixm Lowery. They were arrested and carried to Jacksonville charged with tho crime. Tho Northcuts and Ranee Maslc have been indicted for placing obstructions on the track of the International nnd Great Northern railway with a view of ditch- ingaporaenger train auu robbingthc passenger*. McElroy is the principal witness for tho *tito against them, aud it is thought this famished an incentive for the crime. The assassin* un doubtedly mistook Owen for McElroy. They killed a man whom they scarcely knew. In dignation is at fever heat, and nothing will mvc the necks of the murderers as soon as it is settled beyond question that they are iuilty. Ihvfsure is being brought to bear on |fr*s to indue e him to confess what he knows under promite of saving his neck. Ross was wavering this cveing. A posse of 200 farmers nre secretly organized to raid the jail ai soon <ia lie rqueal*. A special to the Galveston News, from Stringtown say* that Saturday morning six workmen entered tho vacant houase four mile* north of there, used by sec tion men n* a rain house. The house waa built of withes, with an earth roof. The men built a fire aud went to aleep. The posts sun- porting tho structure caught fire aud the build ing tumbled iu, killing three of the men out right and Mt-iously, hut not fatally injuring the other three. _______ South Carolina.

Palmer reports that the publishing house is in a prosperous condition, having paid $230,000.00 on the debt nnd that it will soon (wiy the entire amount. They have published many valuable books lately, which tho preach ers ought to put before the j*-oplc. When the conference heard that prohibition had been carried in Atlanta, they roso and sang with great enthusiasm: ???Praise God From Whom all Blessings Flow.??? Tl:e reports of the president of tho Wesleyan and GaJnfsville female, nnd Emory colleges were rend, showing them happily prosperous. The eighth question was called: ???What trav eling preachers are elected deacons???? Julius Mngnth, missionary to the Hebrews, J. J. N. Kenny, T. J. Wnrlick, E. 31. Stanton, J. M. Armstrong, J. M.

H, OIUIUI, The fourteenth onostton, ???What local preach ers arc elected eiders???? was called; T. M. Moore of tho Protestant Methodist church had his orders recognized In this church. Rev. David Morton, D. D., of Louisville, Ky.. spoke of the work of building churches through the agency of the church extension society. Tills la a work for tho evangelization of tho world as surely os any work. Tho poor hero and in the west need houses, neat ones, for tho service of God, and this is a systematic effort to help him. The chnrch houses on the frontier exercise a wonderful force for Christ where the people arc notoriously careless aud wicked. In passing on the railway he said ho saw many churches no dilapidated that ho hoped thoy were not ours. This society is furnishing tasty church plans that are saving much monoy, and ore improving the appearnneo of churches. There is an auxiliary board in each of tho thirty-eight conferences, besides tho great pa rent board. Tho donations have increased iu three years from $5,000 to $05,000, making $105,000 in threo years. Also $23,000 has been collected as a loan fund that is to bo continued forever. More than 300 churches have been built that would never have been built bad It not been for our little help. Thlr- ty.flvc dollars and fifteen cents secured the erection of three churches in Arkansas. Our conference needs a loan fund. There is a des titution of churches in parts of tho land. New York cannot seat 30 per cent, of its population in her churches. In fourteen county towns in ono southern old commonwealth there Is not a single church edifice, though there is preach ing. One entire county iu an old state Ins not am! never had a church of any kind. There are blocks of counties in Texas iu which there is not a Methodist chnrch. Wo iu our elegant churches must do our duty. One of the most touching of incidents oc curred this morning. Rev. L. J. Davies, who joined the conference in 1848, arose in the con ference. trembling under broken health, and ???aid that affliction had bowe l his form and so he must leave the effective work, lie said he loved his brethren next to Christ, and that the conference hal always treated liim better than he deserved. Ho said that in his chair of sickness he had and always would pray for the preachers, and above all he asked their prayers. Amid the united tears of the preachers. Rev. J. M. Lowe helped the trem bling warrior of Jesus from the ranks of sol diers. No sadder scene than this, one of the grandest preachers of Methodism stepping Jdc for younger men. Dr. 1.8. Hopkins presented the committee's repoit on Payne institute, which asked for a contribution to bay buildings in Augusta. A gentleman offers to give $25,000 to endow.this institution for tho colored people, if the church will raise $15,000 to purchase buildings. Rev. Warren A Candler made a telling speech, stat ing that no chnrch had done more for these people during slavery, and that the world is locking to us to see what we will do. They are going to be and are being educated, and we ought to take hold and give it a moral bearing, a training for Christ. The conference sub- scribed liberally. Methodist preachers always do. The amount $1,200 was raised in fall. The conference elected to the general con ference the following laymen: W. A. Hemp hill, I. E. Shumate. George X. Laster, Euclid Johnson, Lovick Pierce, Wm.
