GENERAL HARRIsON's RESIGNATION

The following extract is taken from letter
addressed to Gen. Harrison, in May, 1914, by
his military staff on learning his determination to
resign his commission. After speaking Of the
triumph achieved by Gen. Harrison, and Of '',hc
blessings impaired by him to frontier where there
had been no peace for twenty years. they say:
although your country has right to claim
your assistance in her struggles, and you are bound
to afford it upon honorable principles, and how.
ever your retirement may deprive her Of her great
est chiettain, yet, under existing circumstances, We
cannot but approve your determination. De-
prived, as you are, Of the most important preroga-
tives attached to your commission, without the
exercise OF which no officer could serve with
honor 10 himself or advantage 10 his country, and
acting as you lately have done, under crcum-
stances having no parallel in military usage, it
become the first General in the nation 10 protest
against the innovation, and if possible arrest the
progress of a system equally novel and dangerous,
and unqueatlonaby the cause of the failure, de-
fca;s aud disgraces Of the army. The dignifed
| orbearance which marks your conduct under pre-
sent tilcultles is a source Of satisfaction 10 your
friends, and your country will approve your mo-
tives, when she is informed Of the causes which
have compelled her to resign. But a little while,
and the inducements to conceal your motives will
cease to exist. Then an impartial world will de.
light to rank you with Fabius and Washington"

their recent session OF almost eight months? 294

tiers 10 his partizans to promote his own election
In the meantime, the public service neglected,
and the lives Of valuable citizens sacrfced.-
Would such things be, if the President were not
a candidate for reelection? Would party spirit
rage as does, If party men did not hope to retain
or secure Office and cmolument by re electing a
party president? Fellow citizens, reflect on this
subject, To our mind it is clear that when you
abolish this thing Of a President trying to be re-
elected, you "cover the land with blessings and
benefits One term, in our opinion, is enough for
Mr.. VAN BUREN, one term is all we ask for
General HARRIsoN; and we trust that no future
President will ever hold, or attempt to hold his
office longer than one term--Nelc Era.

FROM THE NEW WORLD.
MUSINGS.

BIZ HON. MRS. NORTON.
An! who e'er dreamed, when on Lies flowers,
All fresh and fragrant, lightly pressed
The velvet football Of the Hours,
And Joy and Hope each vision blessed,
That sorrows, such as press me now,
Would shroud the darkened heart and brow
Though friendship, when our sky is light,
In beauty DER our pathway bends
As clouds CLEAN beautiful and bright
When tinged with sunshine-fathless friends
Fen like the summer clouds, are gone
When darkness and the storm come on.
And Loye-tnat incense so divine
OF the fond breast in guileless youth
Flames oft at some unworthy shrine;
And they who trust to pighted truth
Lean on a reed that soon may part,
And send lis shivers through the heart.
And Fame, for which we spend our breath,
Is but meteor of the mind,
That lures US on to toll and death;
And her successful votares find
Hates poisoned flowers amid the chain
Of roses wreathed around the BRAIN
For Envy's eye, and SANDERS tongue,
Must lay the aspiring spirit low,
Although the innocent and young
Be more than orphaned by the blow,
And, for mothers honored name,
Be left heritage of shame.
Joys fount has long since been dried up;
My soul, by care and sorrow riven,
Turns, as drain Life's bitter cup,
From heArtess man to righteous heaven;
And oh! long on Earth's soft breast
To lay my weary head and rest.

MARTIN VAN buren,
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
We promised, in late number Of our paper,
to give to our readers the particulars in the case
decided by the Methodist Episcopal Church, ana
lagous 10 that decided by Martin Van Buren,, ia
the case Of LIEUT. HooE. We will do So in as
brief manner as possible.
The REVEREND SILAs CoMFoRr, Of Missouri
Conference, was arraigned and convicted before
that body, for d NAL administration Of the govern.
ment Of the Church in allowing negro testimony
10 be taken, on trial Of 1chite man Mr. Com
fort appealed from this decision Of the Missouri
Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
recently convened at Baltimore. At this Confer.
ence an investigation Of the case took place up.
on the appeal Of Mr.. Comfort, but unlike Mr.
Van Buren, this highly respectable body OF Chris
tans, determined TO sustain the Missouri Confer
ence in their original decision. and by vote Of
81 to 81 the same General Conference adopted
resolutions excluding negro testimony wherever
by the laws OF the Territory or State, such test.
mony is already excluded But how different is
the course pursued by "the Northern man lcih
Southern principles" He sees in the admission
Of negro testimony upon the trial Of a aChite man,
in the Territory Of Florida, nothing to disapprove.
Oh no. Such distinctions as are madein the South,
between the race Of the uhite man, and that Of the
negro excite in him, none other than emotions Of
disgust. He believes in no such distinctions, and
has always repudiated them. From the advocate
for free negro suffrage in New York. what else
can the South expect?
We learn that the debate which took place in
the Conference at Baltimore, illustrated the great
enormity Of admitting negro testimony, in the
Church, against white men. The Southern cler-
ey stated, with united voice. that an instant d.
vision Of the Church would follow the adoption
Of rule so odious and revolving to the Southern
people. To return home TO their brethren with
such proposition, was an act they dared not per-
form. To DO so, would raise a storm Of ndgna-
ton which would be overwhelming. But how
stands the case with Mr.. Van BnreD! When ap-
pealed to BY high minded Virginian to set aside
the proceedings Of a trial upon which was intro
duced against him negro testimony, this pretended
friend of the South, adding insult 10 injury, con.
temptutously replies that 'tbere ,cas nothing IN
the proceedings tchtch required his interference"
Who can, after this act Of his, believe what his
partizans assert? friend TO the South? Why,
this act itself is enough to stamp him the rereSt
foe that has ever raised hands against our institu-
tons, our privileges, and our rights.

A STREET BRAwL AT TIE CAPITOL OF OHIO
A Mr. Schencl, Midshipman in the Navy, and
Samuel Medary, Editor OF the Ohio Statesman,
had street fight in Columbus, some days ago,
in which the latter got a sound drubbing. We
should not have noticed the affair, but the State
Printer and his friends are striving to turn the
matter to political account by their usual mis-
representations. The facts we believe are briefly
these. A brother of the assailant attended a
Harrison meeting in Clermont county, and made
a speech. Mr. Medary permitted correspond
ent to abuse the meeting and the speaker, in his
paper, in pretty round terms, and to "fnish the
work" Mr.. NJ. editorially published wanton,
insulting libel on the character of the Mother of
Mr.. Schenck. Mr.. S. saw the attack on his pa
rent in the Statesman, at Dayton, and at once
took stage for Columbus, without communicating
his intention TO any one. The morning he ar
rived in Columbus, he met the Editor of the
Statesman in the street, assailed him. and in
fair fight logged him severely As under
stand, there was no interference in the contest,
and Mr.. s. was stranger in Columbus.
