door of the shop, when his attention was

Ruffian*! on the head. On Sunday he
died. In the belief that the blow on his
head had led to his death, Drs. Warner

post mortem examination. The cause of
death was ti icreupon discovered to be the
singular condition of tho man’s lungs,

The lay membership comprises some of
the finest talent in the Sonth, as well **■
some of the most prominent characters in

Yesterday was consumed in perfecting
members and adopting rules of order.—
There was considerable discussion on the
method of calling the ‘previous question,*
in which the laymen indulged, showing
their l»etter acquaintance with parliamen
tary usages than the clergy. There were
extreme views on both sides of the ques
tion. It was finally compromised by re-
r 'ring a two thirds majority, to second
calling of tho previous question.—

of the McFarland trial, Henry Ward
Beecher will, by express desire of hi*
congregation, declare from the pulpit hi*
contrition for the part he took in the As.

further states, in substance, that Mr.
Beecher has admitted that he acted hasti
ly and imprudently in that matter. This
writer, who is usually well posted, and
can be relied on, also says that the friend-
of Mrs. Calhonn-Rnnkle are determined
to have Charles Spencer expelled trozn

result of . their early training ? A girl
may have wealth in expectancy; nay, she
may be positively assured that she will
be rotected against the inroads of want
and privation, but this does not in an}

miliarizing herself with the duties of the
household. Health, usefulness and hap

Alarming Reports Atj-uc the Crops
We copy the following from tho Columbus
Enquirer.
We have heard many reports, this season, of
planters putting everytliing to the atraiu in tht
L-ffort to make largo cotton crops, to tho total 01
partial neglect of corn; tint wo yesterday receiv
ed reports from the country above ns that an
realty startling, as well as discouraging, au ob
serving and intelligent gentleman and planter,
just returned from a visit to the Northern por-
of Georgia, informs ns that iu that region
fully thirty per cent, more cotton has boon p ant-
1 this year than last, to the loss of that amount
of the corn crop; and that through the country
between Atlanta and Columbus, to use hi*
expressive language, com enough has not been
plauted to feed the dickens! Wo have heard
of planters in this vicinity who havo large fields
of cotton planted, and not an aero in ce
Another gentleman, siso a planter and a very
intelligent man, informs us that during a trip
from this city to Society Hill, Ala., and back
few days sinco, he funad or heard of only two
places where lie could havo his horso fed on
, and that at both of these place* it was
shelled corn front a sack I The country is desti
tute of corn, except what has been hteiy brought
from the West. And yet piautcrs aro making
cotton the primary object, and corn r. crop oi
e ua.1 importance!
Travel ia whatever direction you may, on the
railroads or the Ctmmon roads of the country,
and you will see field* of cottuu along tho route
stretching far back on either side, while the
tii-Ma of c >rn are email au J far between. Tho
chief article 1 now daily carried in wagons from
the city to the country aro corn, hay and bacon.
For eomo time past commercial fertilizers have
been claiming a shore of each loan, bnt these
ertilizers were for cotton, not for corn. The
presumption is a strong one that a large portiou
of the cotton crop of tdeyear ia already pledged
for corn, bacon, and fenilizfrs.
The gentleman first nime J above was in a des
ponding mood about Georgia, and it was not
her critical political relations that gave him
moetooncera, but tho prevalent phrenzy for
planting big crops of cuton and neglecting pro
visions. Ho could seo nothing but impoverish
m tho polity. In his opinion, one of tho great
est blessings that coulu to showered npon this
country would be a killing frost at a period ao
late in the season that the fields planted in cot
ton would have to be replanted with corn and
other prov sion crops. This would be a violent
interposition of Fnrtiience for tbe relief of in
fatuated man, such as wo do not often experi
ence in this generatir n. Bat it is not yet too
late for sensible men to do' something for their
own relief, and. that of their section, without the
frost. If they sell cotton noxt winter, for 15
cents per pound, and hard to boy large'/ of com
at $1.50 or $2 per bnihel, they may be made to
eee how it is tlmt a May iroet could be a great
blessing instead of a • al unity out of season.
living, or disgusted with life, too weak or
ton cowardly to fight, adversity, some
times only temporary, men and women
defy every principle of religion and com
mon sense, and take their lives into their
own hands. It is curious to read in His
tory the apologies found for the crime of
suicide. All that was necessary oexenae
the act. was a so-called reason for it, or a
fancied necessity for it. Longinus, os a
prisoner, took poison, in order to free
his Emperor, Trajan, from tho proposed
hard condition, of his surrender. Seneca
thought suicide better than helpless old
age, and in the case of his young friend,
Tullius Marcelinas, advised suicide rath
er than a lingering, though not incurable
disease. “Fear not death,” indeed, was
among the advance doctrine of the Stoics.
Have tho S toics come to life again in the
19th century? One would suppose so,
from the recent tragedies among us, both
in the crime of suicide and in the higher
crimes of great wrongs to others. We
are reminded of them when we'hear such
preachers sits Frothingham and Beecher,
though both profess to believe in God, if
not in Christian revelation. They first
deify a criinitial, and then pray God to
ble -s their past at d present relations.
Tney many those to whom Christ and
the Cl r.stian religion forbid union, and
set at defiance law and docent public
opinion. One can pardon much to
friendship, but that friendship which calls
npon a public man ostentatiously to do a
great wrong is indefensible. One of the
s-ven sages of Greece, who made no pre-
e ee to religion, I eeaifre he had no
kno ledge of it, congratulated himself
»ud friends that at the close of along
life tho only act that saddened it was the
fact that Le had allowed the love of n
friend to»bscure his sense of justice.
With such examples, even the heatheu

A special committee oi six were appoint
ed to take under consideration the necess
ity of publishing a Sunday school music
book expressly for their own denomina
tion. .
A committee consisting of one delegate
from each Conference was orderd to take
under their supervision the finances of
the Church.
The quudrenial address of the College
of Bishops was read by Bishop Wight-
man. It was an admirable production,
full of practical wisdom and earnest sug
gestion. It was referred to appropriate
committees.
The Committee on Education were in
structed to give especial attention to the
subject of educating young men for the
ministry. Several speeches were made,
all tending to the same end, that a more
thought bystem ought to bo adopted.
Tue most prominent matters to come
before the Conference are the “Boundry
Question.” “Length of Pastoral Term,”
and the election of more Bishops.
Tho boundry issue involves a large pro
portion of the entire churches. There
will be a persistent effort to make con
ference lies conform to State lines/ and
there will bo a very stubborn resistance
in opposition to the scheme.
The extensions of the pastoral term to
four ye.ira by the General Conference in
1608 has not met with that favor which

A Vicious Cat.—A cat nearly caused
tho death of a child in Perry county,
Ohio, a few days ego. Onr mfoimant
states that Mrs. Jeremiah Hull left her
child, aged about nine months, in the
room playing with tho cat while she was
engaged in another part of the house —
After some tim> site went to nee ahont the
child, when she saw the cat sitting on its
breast with its noso inserted in the child’s
mouth and its pawn clasped round its neck.
Mrs. Hull ran and threw the cat from the
child, which was almost lifeless, but the
cat immediately sprang back on the child,
placing its nose in the child’s mouth and
clasping it around the neck ns before. A
second time tbe animal was thrown back,
and then, greatly enraged, it again sprang
forward aud caught the child by the
throat. After releasing the child the cat
was taken out and. immediately killed
The child recovered in a few days. But
for tho timely ret am of the mother 'o
see tho child, it soon would have been
placed beyond Um hope of recovery.

“ We do not pretend to speck for the
Democratic party, nor for any other par
ty ; but wo thiuk we speak tho sentiment*
of the great muss of the intelligent and
reflecting people of Texas, irrespective of
party. \V a think the people have had
enough of warund revolution for tliv
present, Mi l now desire a period of peace
und repose, so that some encouragement
may be given to immigration and capital
to come and assist U9 in building up the
material prosperity of our State. ”
Never—uuver—will your State prosper
ity be increased or fostered as long os the
destructivo “ terms ” yon have “ accept
ed ” remai a in fort*. ‘* Reconstruction"
and “negro suffrage,” bucked by a
standing army, will curse the very germs
of peace und repose yon desire. No on
courage ment can be offered to immigra
tion, capital will not venture into the
South to a degree sufficient to materially
strengthen her as long os the present dom
inant party sustains its power there by
the bullet: and the bayonet, as it certainly
does to-day, ia keeping thirty thoasuntl
troops in tho Southern States to overawe
the white citizens, and protect the nit
in their political debauchery. No!—
When the South " accepted tho situa
tion, ” she simply riveted the shackles np
on her own h mbs. God help her! She
cannot help herself. She is tired of war
and conflict, needs and seeks repose,
hopes and prays for prosperity, while alas 1
the heel of the despot, after five yean of
peace, is still on her neck, and his chains
still fette r her proud, prostrate, but' not
conquered spirit. It is a sad picture, and
when it fii 1 end, or how, or where, is in
the womb of the future; but we have an
abiding faith that there is yet to be, tho’
long in its coming, an awful visitation of
justice upon tho administration of Grant,
and the corrupt mongrels aiding it. In
the next conflict, should it come, the
North will have to strike a blow for her
self and the" South, at the same time. If
tho encroachments continue, the blow
cannot long be delayed.—N.-Y. Day

I was shown a relic of Methbdjsm to
day in the shape of a rtzor nud strap,
which was useu by Bishop Ashery, the
first American Bishop during that year
1781, and subsequently until his death.
The strap is about eight inches in length,
two inches iu breadth, aud half an men
iu thickueod. There is a cell within the
strap wuere the raz jr is deposited. It is
made oi cherry wood, rather, roughly
prepared, bearing the seal of His Majea
ty, the Ktue of England. The razoi
blade is about five iuenes iu length,
more in shape of the common case-kuife

ed with a black horn handle. It was sent
by George J. Clark to be presented to
the Senior Bishop of the AL E Church,
