?Hs Brig Francis Lord.-IVe had a
terrible British outrage reported as having
been perpetrated upon the coast of Africa
which went the rounds Of the papers some
four or six weeks ago. We published al
the time the fact, that The owners Of the
brig had received letters from the Captain
dated after the outrage Yves committed !:
which made no mention of the affair. The
brig has now returned, and Capt. Brown
states that a musket ball was fred from
the British brig Alert, and the ball passed
over The Francis Lord; that the comman.
der Of the Alert Immediately hailed the
F. l.. and said she perceived that ball
had been fred, that it was not designed,
and that he regretted the accident and
would inquire into The cause Of it. After
arriving at Sierra Lone, the commander
of The Alert came GU board the F. l.. and
stated that the accident happened through
the carelessness oc the gunner who bad
been severely punished for it, and he made
all the apology which could be asked Of
any officer or gentleman. Capt. Brown
did mol mention in his letters. because he
was entirely satisfied, and counted the in
cidem as not deserving further notice.

The object of that meeting, of course. will
be to pass resolutions relative TO The Annexa-

whole Union. The people of the United States
have not ye; become so dead 10 the lruest in

Cotton.-Since our last notice of the trade,
the cotton market has assumed duller aspect,
owing in great measure to the unwilingness
of holdeis to make concessions, and the advi.
ces daily expected from Liverpool by the Bri-
tannia, which Isl bring dates to The 4th Of this
month. The stocks in the American ports
have been reduced pretty largely, more so,
however, in the Atlantic ports, and the receipts
every where are very light. The receipts in
this market are not worth mentioning; the
stock is still large, though the shipments TO Sa.
vanndh have been somewhat large. The prices
quoted in our review of last Thursday have
been barely maintained; the extremes are Al to
cents; and the snes effected, which were
few, have been at prices ranging from to 64
cents. In the present condition Of our market,
it is impossible to give any correct account oft.

SENATE CHAMBER,


May l6, 1914.
Sir: have seen in the Globe of this
morning an allusion to the time and cir
cumstaaces under which you resigned your
seat in the House of Representatives and
took your seat in the Senate Of the Uni.
ted States. The article in the Globe does
you injustice. know, from frequent con-
versalious with you, that your wish and
previous intention was TO remain in the
House of Representatives until the tariff
was finally disposed of in that body. But,
when The treaty for the annexation of
Texas became the subject Of discussion 10
the Senate, l suggested to you the pro-
priety, in my opinion, Of your taking your
sea, in the Senate without further delay !;
and although you agreed with me that the
Texas question was one of paramount
importance, yet 1 feel convinced that you
left the House before the vote was taken
upon the tariff with great reluctance; and
that you were only induced to do so from
an overruling sense Of public duty, grow
ing out of my conviction, and the conYic-
ZION of your other friends in The Senate,
that the executive action Of the Senate on
matters connected with the. Texas treaty
must necessarily commence, as it did COM
mence, on the very day you took your
seat.
! am, with great respect. your friend
and obedient servant, A. P. BAeBY.

Murder Viii Out.-We learn verbally
a strange story of murder said TO have
been committed al or near Chippewa. A
Captain Brundage, who some years ago
run a little steamboat Victory between this
purt and Chippewa, and who has since re-
sided at or near that place, is the party
implicated. A woman and child were
living with him. Some time ago, but how
long we are not informed. the woman, who
had some six or eight hundred dollars in
cash, and her child disappeared, but no
suspicious were aroused, until one morn
ing when the sexton went into the grave
yard and discovered a new made grave.
He wondered who dug it, and The incident
giving rise to some remarks, it at last came
to the ears of half crazy fellow, called
"old. Moses" living in the neighborhood,
who related the following story. He said
he was lying in the grave yard the night
before, when Brundage brought in wo-
man and child aud buried them. The
grave was Immediately opened, The bod
les Of the woman and child were found in
it. Brundage was forthwith arrested, and
is now in The Jail at Niagara awaiting bis
trial for murder.-Bufdto Com. Adv.

4 SNAKE STORY

Lynchimg Ertraordinary.--A case Of
lynching has recently occurred in Anson
Co., IN. Carolna.) Of quite novel and
interesting character. The parties enga-
ged, were two large coach whip Snakes,
the assailan,s, and worthy citizen Of An
son, The recipient. The latter was travelling
through the woods when, towards night.fa
he was attacked by two enormous snakes,
who wound themselves round his body,
and inflicted on him a summary and ex-
tremely severe punishment. He was Of
course, dreadfully frightened, and after
feeling in his pocket, in vain, for his knife,
succeeded OF length in choking one of his
assaiants, which having disengaged from
his person, he flung some distance from
him, when the other left him. He was
severely cut, by the lashes inflicted upon
him, and still remains on bis person the
marks. The above has been related to us
by gentlemen on whose veracity we fully
rely, as fact, and we record it for the
singularity ofthe occurrence, challenging
al the same time The belief o. our readers
in the truth oflhe slory.--Chera,o Gazette.

Interesting Decision.--The General
Methodist Conference, now in session in
The city of New York, on Saturday last
made au important decision touching the
right of ministers in that persuasion>lo hold
slaves. The facts are thus briefly stated
in the New York Tribune:
Al the last meeting Of the Baltimore
Annual Conference, Francis A. Hardin, a
travelling preacher, was suspended from
his Ministerial functions for refusing 10
emancipale five slaves which had come
into his possession by marriage with Miss
Susan Swan, Of St. Mary's county, Md.
From this decision he appealed to The
General Conference, and after devoling
nearly four days 10 an investigation of the
case and hearing Of the parties. that
body on Saturday last rendered verdict
affirming the decision OF the Baltimore
Conference, by a vote of ~ To- Sc, thus
settling the principle that STAKEHOLDER. in
Stale where the laws do not render
emancipation impossible, ought not 10 be
ordained as preacher in the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
