The American Board —The Sixtieth
Aunual Meeting of the American Board
of Commissioners of Foreign Missions
(Pres.) met October sth. Dr. Mark Hop
kins, of Wiliams College, Mass., pre
sided. After the customary preliminaries,
Rev. S. P. Treat reviewed the condition
of the Board. The total receipts during
the year were $525.214; total expendi
tures, $531,661, showing au indebtedness
of but $6,000. The entire income of the
year may be staled thus: from donations,
$424,457.90 ; from agencies, $93,562 26; from
Other sources, $7,194.73. The revenue
from legacies has been unusually large—
s2o,ooo, at least, in advance of what it was
last year. Mr. Daniel W. Hail, residing
at Washington City, placed SB,OOO in tbe
hands of the Treasurer many years ago,
aud directed that the amouut should be
come the property of the Board after the
death of himself aud his wife, the rightof
calling trie interest thereon in the mean
time being reserved. The survivor has
died within the year; liis gift, therefore,
with another sum of 512.812 92, left to the
Treasurer by his will, has become avail
able for meeting the disbursements of the
year. Adding the $S 000 to the amount of
legacies heretofore received, the total Is
$101,562 26. Forty three missionaries haye
been sent abroad during tbe past year,
which is greater than in any year smee
1856 Two brethren, who were formerly
stationed in the foreign field, subsequent- 1
)y returned to the United Htates, and were
released fioru their connection with tbe
Board, have enlisted in its service a second
time. The two organizations which have
been formed—one at the East and the
other at the West—in the hope of accom
plishing more for the female sex in the
various mis-ion lields, has achieved a suc
cess which the most sanguine could
scarcely have looked for. Theelder Board
of Missions have received $1,540.25; the
Woman’s Board of Mi-sions for the quar
ter has received $3 393 15 ; the total being
sl4 933 50. '1 he support of eighteen of the
female missionaries in the foreign field
has been assumed by tbe Woman’s Board
of Missions; of thirteen by ibe Board lo
cated at Boston, and five by tbe Board for
tbe Interior located at Chicago. The suc
cess of this effort on the part of the Chris
tian women of the churches, is one of the
most encouraging events of the year, The
general statistics of the Board areas fol
lows: Whole number of missions sus
tained, 18; number of stations, 102; out
stations, 539. There are 145 ordained mis
sionaries, aud 207 other laborers, male and
female, sent from this country, besides
981 native helpers. There are 229 organ
ized cbureties, with 20,788 members, of
whom 1 608 have been added within the
year. There are 15,491 pupils under in
struction in the mission schools.
Bishop Marvin.—Bishop Marvin, says
tbe St. Louis Christian Advocate, of Octo
ber27th, reached his residence in Bt. Louis
on Babbath morning last. He lias been
absent for more than fifteen months in the
performance of the do lies of his Episcopal
office ofi the Pacific 2oast. The office is
“a gooti tiling.” The career of the Bishop
shows it to be conspicuous in abundant
labors and severe privations, as well as
abounding with privileged opportunity
and large measures of usefulness. We
met him at his home in the midst of a re
joicing family, and the family of Metho
dism in the city joins in l lie glad welcome.
His health is much improved, and with
the exception of a cold contracted on the
journey it begins to show something of
former strength and elasticity. He in
tends to take the winter for rest and at
tention to his private affairs. This is
needed and deserved. His report of the
state and work of the church on the Pa
cific coast is full of interest. The late ses
sion of tire Pacific Conference was most
interesting ami important. The following
are tbe delegates elected to the General
Conference: Clerical —O. Fisher, E K.
Miller, T. C. Barton. Reserve— George
Sim. Lay— W. E Cooke of Santa Rosa,
Joseyh Rucker of Santa Clara, and W. E.

Dr. Sears.— We learn from Dr. Tucker,
President of tlto Georgia Teachers’ Asso
ciation, thut Dr K. Sears, Agent of the
Peabody Fund, will deliver an address be
fore that body at its session in Macon
November 17ili during the Agricultural
Fair.
Our Sixty-Dollar Proposition.
Under the embarrassing circumstances
witli which tlie Publishing House lias
been surrouuded, no proposition we made
brought us sucli timely relief, or contrib
uted so much to our present prosperity, as
the one requesting that every traveling
preacher purchase sixty dollars’ worth of
our publications.
Although our profits during the past
three years dready exceed $78,000, which
was the amount of the entire debt of the
Puhlisliiug House, on the firstday of June,
1866. yet tlie rapid increase of tbe busi
ness of tlie House has compelled us to use
a large portion of the profits iu so increas
ing our stock as to meet the demands of
the trade, we are therefore left with a
heavy balauceof this debt, which should
be paid before the meetiug of the General
Conference in May next.
We therefore propose, once more to all
the preachers, local and traveling, to
Churches which may desire to furnish
their pews with Hymn-books, to Sunday
schools that may wish to replenish their
libraries, aud to private members of the
Church wno may wish to supply them
selves with libraries, and to ail others who
may desire to aid us iu our efforts to free
tbe House from nil embarrassment, to ac
cept our SIXTY-DOLLAR PROPOSITION, aud
send us an order immediately for the
books.
In addition to the books in the Cata
logue, we invite your attention to the fol
lowing new publications :

Our Terms.
Durine our connection with the Pub

the exception of a hrief iuterim, to ad
here to the cash system. We have fre
quently been appealed to, to relax our
terms, and extend to our patrous short

that we cannot successfully prosecute the
duties assigned us if we yield to these so
licitations. We, therefore, once more beg
leave to inform all our customers that our

Public atlon of the Minute*.
To the Member* of the 8. C. Conference :
I have been requested, as one of the Sec
retaries, to ask your attention to an oldand
troublesome subject. 1 refer to the publi
cation of the minutes of our annual Con
ference. For fifteen or twenty years we
have been annoyed by this comparatively
small matter, and are yet without a settled
plan. Every year we take up the subject
anew. Tbereis, certainly, one way which
is better than all others. Allow me to call
your attention to that way. It is simply,
that each clerical member of the Confer
ence shall bring up two, three, or five dol
lars from his charge, and report it among
other moneys raised for Church purposes.
Out of this fund the work can be done, and
each charge receive the value of its money
in minutes. I might stop here, assured
that our experience testifies to tbe superi
ority of this over all tbe plans we have
tried ; allow me, however, to add a word
or two more as to the advantages of this
method. It gives a plan the best after
years of trial. The amount collected set
tles tbe question of tbe number to be prin
ted. It secures an early publication. They
can be distributed gratuitously. Ten times
tbe usual number may be printed. They
will obtain general circulation, and lastly,
they can be made a capital medium for ad
vertising tbe institutions of the Church.
If the presiding Elders will make a note
of this, and will bring it to the attention
of the Preachers at their quarterly Con
ference ; and if the Preachers will spend a
few miDutes in collecting the small
amounts necessary, a very considerable
annoyance will be abated, and the whole
Conference will be benefited.

GENERAL NEWS.
Agusta, October 26.—Edward Cody, a citizen of
Warrenton, Warren county, was taken from his
house last night by a party of Federal soldiers.
While being carried out of town, Codv escaped,
with two gun shot wounds. The Sherii" reported

Buffalo, October 26.—A severe enow storm

feet fallen at points North and West.
To-day’s Tribune says, editorially: “We do not
esy that General Butterfield was guilty of acts
which uutitted him for the office of Assistant
United States Treasurer in this city; but we do say
that it is a good tiling for the Government that he
no longer holds the office. Whether Gen. Butter
iield acted amiss is to be the subject of an investiga
tion, which wc hold it the part of fair-dealing not
to prejudge. That he was generally distrusted
and so, capable of injuring the credit of the
Government wus a matter that needed no investi
gation, hut called for prompt action. The admin
istration here, as in previous instances, has shown
its determination to have its officials above even
the suspicion of evil, and now why not relieve the
Treasury of its gold surplus by sales in the open
market, pay our debt, stop interest, and relieve
alike all temptation and all cause for fear about
speculations in Government gold?”
Lynchburg, October 27.—1 tis very cold here
to-day. Ice one and a quarter inches. The Fair
is better attended to-day.

counterfeit tobacco 6tamps. All were bailed for
triul. The detectives last night captured SB,OOO
worth of counterfeit tobacco stamps. In the case
heretofore telegraphed of parties charged with the
sale of bogus tobacco stamps, all have been sent on
for trial, except Stone, who is to be examined
November 9th.
Philadelphia, October 28.—1 tit snowing, but
the snow melts as it falls.
Wheeling, October 30 —Returns come in slowly.
Wood and Harrison counties heretofore Republi
can, have gowe Democratic. It will require a week
to determine the result.
Richmond, October 30.—The foundry and ma
chine shops of Talbot Brothers, on Seventeenth
street, were burned to-night. The loss in the
building, machinery and patterns, makes a total
of $105,000, upon which there is no insurance. The
lire originated from the boiler after the workmen
had left, about 8 o’clock.
Wilmington, October 30 —All officers of the
Cuba have been discharged by the Commissioner

to give bail in the sum of"$500 each for their ap
pearance before the United States District Court,

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Washington, October 87.—Report* received at
tlie Agricultural Depot, indicate a falling off in the
tobacco crop of one-third in Virginia and Mary
land, undone-tenth in Kentucky aud the West. The
estimated fulling off In the West will be largely in
creased by early killing frosts which have badly
damaged uncuied tobacco. The bulk of the crop
lias been saved.
The Democrats of California have elected eleven
of the fourteen (14) District Judges.
Assistant Treasurer Butterfield has had intima
tions from both Grant aud Boutwell that his re
signation was desired. Grant wants a solid busi
ness man iu the place.
The papers publish a reported interview between

revenue.
Chief Justice Chase said in the Supreme Court,
to-day, that the question of Jurisdiction in the
Yerger case having beeu decided, counsel could
motion fora writ of habeas corpus whenever they
thought proper.
Washington, October 29.—Revenue to-day
$690,000.
Tlie following Item is furnished from a truthful
source: General Clark and other Texans, and
some Mississippi*!!*, have applied to the President
to have the elections in those States indefinitely
postponed. They insist that the decision in the
Verger case, aud the certainty that Hamilton and
Deni will carry tbe electious, render this necessary.
It is not probable that they will succeed.
It is stated that upon the assembling of Congress
a movement will be inaugurated modifying the
powers of the Supreme Court to tlie extent of sub
jecting all decisions affecting reconstruction to the
revision of a special Joint Judiciary Committee of
Congress. The policy of the Government |in the
Yerger case seems to be to postpone the issue.
Washington, D. C., October29—The Agricultu
ral Report regarding Cotton, shows that fertilizers
were liberally used in the Atlantic States, and
much money was invested in improved imple
ments. These agencies forced the crop to early
maturity. Late picking will be comparatively
light. The drought in the Caroliuas and Georgia
caused early bolls to drop on uplands. The rava
ges of the’ caterpillar and boll worm, though in
some sections severe, were by no means general.
Picking will be over unusually early, except on
plantations short of labor.
The report coneludes: “Detailed and complete
estimates of the aggregate yield have not yet been
calculated. Thercls ua reason to believe, from an
examination of the October reports, that the pre
liminary and conditional estimate heretofore made,
of 2,750,000 bales—tbe only one made this season,
newspaper reports to the contrary nothwithstand
iug —can be exceeded.
Washington, October 31.—Boutwell directs the
Assistant Treasurer, at New York, to give notice
that tlie sale of gold to purchase bouas be con
tinued without change during November.
The debt statement shows a decrease of nearly
seven and a half millions; coin balance, one
hundred aud seventeen millions; currency balance,
seven and a quarter millions. Shipments of frac
tional currency to Charleston aud New Orleans,
fifty thousand dollars; to Mobile, twenty-five thou
sand.
Washington, November I.—Belknap was in
stalled to-day.
A fuller statement of the case of TboriDgton vs.
Smythe and HarUey, shows it to be » bill in equity
for the enforcement of vender’s lien. Smythe and
Hartley purchased Thorington’s land and gave a
promissory note for part payment. The transac
tion occurred in 1864. Without modefying cir
cumstances, Thorington would be entitled to
draw for amount and interest The defence plead
ed that only Confederate notes were current and
the land worth only three thousand dollars iu rea
inouey. The contract price was forty-five thous
and dollars—thirty-five thousand dollars whereof
being actually paid in Confederate notes, and a
note for the remaining ten thousand dollars was to be
discharged in the same manner, and it is claimed on
this state of facts that the vender is entitled to no
relief in the U. S. Court; which claim was sustain
ed by the Court below and the case dismissed.
The questions before the Supreme Court upon ap
peal, are : First, can a contract for the payment
of Confederate notes made during the late rebellion
between parties residing within the so-called Con
federate States, be enforced at all In the Conrts of
the United Statea. Second, can evidence be re
ceived to prove that a promise was expressed for
the payment of anv other than lawful dollars of the
United States ? Third, does the evidence In the
second establish the fact that the note for SIO,OOO
was io be paid by agreement of the parties, in Con
federate notes? The first question Is answered
affirmatively; the second question is answered
affirmatively, with the following remarks; “We
are clearly of opinion that such evidence must be
received iu respect to such contract in order that
justice may be done between the parties, and that
tlie party entitled to be paid in these Confederate
dollars can only receive them at their actual valne
at the time and place of the contract, in lawful
money of the United States.” On the third ques
tion the Court says: “We do not think it neces
sary to go into a detailed examination of the evi
dence ; it is enough to say that it has left no doubt
In our minds that the note for ten thousand dol
lais, to enforce payment of which suit was brought
in the Circait Court, was to be paid by agreement
of the parties in Confederate notes.” *
