Church Divi,ious---sI.vcry.

Our readers are aware that, for several years
past, the general conferences Of the Methodist aud
Baptist churches have been the scenes Of animat-
cd discussions on the subject Of slavery. The
n lrlhen Mcthodists contend that no stakeholder
be ordained bishop, or suffered to remain III the
cpiscopacy, and The northern Baplsts contend
for the same rule in relation to missionaries,
which is but another way to declare that slavery
Is unchristi an and 10 place large portion Of the
southern church membership under the law OF
test agans, this assumption of power by the
north; aud as in both churches they were in the
minority no other course was left them but to take
the position Of soccdcTs. The only difficulty in
the way was the common church property, which
being in the hands of the majority, it was bcIiev-
ed the southern proportion OF 1t would not be g..
ven up. But notwithstanding this difficulty, the
division has taken place. The Methodist con-
venton Of the south at Louisville, and the Bap-
us, convention at Augusta, called for the purpose
have consummatcd the work. The convention at
Augusta adjourned ON the oh ul,, having, after
a most elaborate discussion Of the subject, finally
passed, by unanimous vote, a resolution dcclar-
ing their complete Independence of the confer
cacc, and forming new union, to be called the
sionary board to be located at Richmond, and its
home missionary board at Marion, Alabama, to
meet tricunjally, and the next meeting to be held
at Nashvi l., in May, 1916.
The Methodist convention at Louisville al.
journed on the 2)h ul,. after a session Of several
weeks. A resolution was adopted similar to that
in the convention at Augusta, declaring the right
und duty of the southern churches to form them
selves into a separate organization, to be called
the "Mcthodist Episcopal Church, South" but
three members voting in the negative. Louisville
il to be the location of the parent missionary So
cciy OF the new organization, and Petersburg
Virginia, was selected as the place for the frs,
Quadrcnnicl meeting to he held in May, 1916.
As political journalists we may perhaps lay
ourselves open to the charge Of departing from
our ground in making structures on these pIocee-
dings; yet we con1ot refrain from expressing our
solemn belief tina, they portend no good. Two
mighty ligatures that have aided in keeping this
glorious Union together are broken, and the force
that rent them, is added to that which is bearing
on the remaining cords. Yet with an esteemed
cotemporary, We would fln indulge the hope,
shat a movement which, to the human eye,
seems to porend imminent danger, may be so
ovcrruIcd by the Almighty Disposcr oil Events,
as eventually to strengthen the bands Of our m.
lionil Union, and promote the cause Of religion
among the American people,

Tempest in u Tea Pot,

|, appears from the Chicago News Of Monday
that the badgers in and about Milwaukee are
becoming decidedly bclIigorcnt. The News states
that while the Princeton, which had just arrived
at Chicago, was lying in Milwaukee, "a large
mob collected near the Spring Street bridge, and
after some preliminary firing of cannon, etc, the
bridge was demolished, so as to preclude the pos
sibiIity of passing the river at that place. The
bridges below were then destroyed, so tina, it was
quite impossible for teams to cross, and nearly SO
for foo, passengers. 1t appeared that this dis
graceful outbreak was occasioncd by scctionnl
jcalousics, the people on either side of the river
being fearful that their ncighbors were doing too
WE'LL All this, of course, must raise the repu,a.
tation of Milwaukee prodigiousy abroad, and give
her hugely the advantage in her rivalry with
Chicago.

In my last | Informed you who the trustees
would be. The election is over, and, as | anti.
cpa,cd, Capt Swift aud MIR. LCayiti have been
unanimously elected. Capt. Swift was voted for
as president Of the board. Mr.. Lcavitt will pro-
baby act as treasurer. He has already received
the drafts for the ins,ulnanis which have been
paid in Europe The amount of this ins,alment
is S35O,C00 In the U. S. the amount of the frs,
INSTRUMENT is $4,000, making in all $500 900
now paid in, which is 10 be forfeited if the re-
mander is not advanced; so that we have pref
~ good guarantee that the whole will be advanc.
cd as called for. We may now feel US if we had
got beyond the reach of danger.
Capt Swift is now in this city, and says he will
start for Illinois the forepart Of June. Mr.. Lea.
Wit will accompany him. On reaching Lock port
they will organize the board, and appoint their
engineers and officers. So soon as the chief en-
ginecr can organize his corps he will proceed to
make the necessary examinations aud estimates,
preparatory to letting. When this is done, the
main line will be put under contract and, as soon
as the Inc Of tho Fox River aud Kankakcc feed.
ers can be located, they will also be pu, under
contract. The true policy OF the board will be to
finish tho work as soon as possible. The mo.

there can be no reason or excuse for delaying the
speedy completion of the canal. The sooner il
finished the better for the state aud the bondhold

From The London Morning Chronicle, May 8.
The Hllinois Canal,

We learn that information has lately
been received from the United States,
that tax laws have been passed by The
Legislature Of Illinois, for the purpose of
carrying out the arrangement entered in
to by Col. Oakley and Mr.. Ryan, with
the holders Of Illinois Bonds, for Loan
of 100000 dollars to complete the Hi
nois and Michigan Canal. The ne,O Ca
nal Deb, is to be secured out of the Ca
nal and Canal property, but the condi-
tons OF the arrangement. if we recollect
right, as respects the old Illinois Debt,
were, that the payment Of the interest
should be resumed at or before certain
periods, TO an extent proportiona,e to the
state means; and that this interest should
be secured by taxation. If difference
OF opinion had arisen respecting the APP
plication of such conditions, it would not
have been matter of surprise; but we UNI
derstand the reports Of Governor Davis
and Mr.. Leavitt, representing the bond
holders, arc, or the whole, so salislaclo.
ry, that, notwithstanding the uneasiness
created here by The Oregon question, it
is intended forthwith to MAKE the money
subscribed available to the trustees Of the
canal fund, so that no delay NAV occur in
insuring the work on the canal. If, as
we hope, this undertaking, next in inn
portance. perhaps, to the Erie Canal, is
at last placed in tram of completion. the
state and the bondholders will be under
great obligations to Governor Ford, the
commissioners to whom he entrusted the
arrangement Of this affair. and the two
London houses, who, under the most I'M.
favorable circumstances, have, by their
perseverance and management, brought it
to happy conclusion.

We have heard of all sorts of contrivances for

of ours gives US the following anecdote, as mat
ter Of fact, which we consider a novel way ofin-
creasing subscription list, at all events!
A new daily paper started some years ago,
in city not thousand miles from D-t. The
propretors found it "hard shedding at FIRST, and
were obliged to resort to the custom of the "dig.
gins"-of employing agent to prowl around
among the Hoosiers and Wolverines, to collect
names, and obtain the tin. The agent was known
as the ''stou, bullying cuss" Of the--Gazette;
and his chIef recommendations were first rate
qualifications for drinking, and much better for
fighting.
