The Methodist Church Case.

The reader has not forgotten that num-
Der Of years ago, the great body of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, at the South
was forced to separate from the Northern
portion of the Church, on account Of the
continued agitation, in their ecclesiastical
meetings, Of the question of slavery. The
Northern portion of the Church insisted
that it was inconsistent with the discipline
of the Church Cor Bishop to hold slaves,
and actually suspended Bishop Andrew
from his episcopal function, because he
had come into possession of slaves by mar
riage whom he continued to hold. A
clergyman from this State, Rev. Mr.. Hard
ing, had, we believe, been previously sus-
pended from the Baltimore Conference
for similar reason. In consequence of
this course pursued towards the Southern
half Of the Church, her delegates admon-
lshed their Northern brethren that the for
mer would either have to leave the Slave
States. or the Northern portion of the
Church; and accordingly the Southern
delegates subsequently agreed upon plan
OF separation which the Southern Conven-
ton ratified, and carried into effect. But
there was large amount Of funds, invested
in the Book concerns Of New York, Ohio,
&c. amounting to some 100000 or
100000 which belonged to the whole
Church, and of which the Southern half
claimed her ratable share in the separation.
This the North refused to give up, and
hence the Methodist Church South institu-
ted suit in the United States District
Court of New York, for the recovery of
her part of the general fund.
This suit is now on trial before Judges
Bets and Nelson, and from the magni-
tude fthe amount, as well as from the
importance Of the principle, involved, is
very naturally exciting good deal of in
tcrest in all sections of the country. The
counselretained by theplaintiiis are Messrs.
d. Lord Of New York, Reverdy johnson
of Baltimore, and Daniel Webster, (the
latter, however, has not yet appeared in
the case and by the defendants (the Church
North,) Messrs. George Wood of New
York, Rufus Choate of Mass. and Thomas
Ewing of Ohio-an array Of legal talent
but rarely presented in a single eau Sc. A
vast amount Of documentary evidence has
been introduced, and the cause was finally
opened by Mr.. Lord, for the plaintiffs =
On the second day of his speech, and the
fourth of the Court, M. Lord concluded
his argument, and it was expected Mr.
Choate would open the argument the next
day, in behalf of the defendants. We
should take pleasure in laying before our
readers the speeches, evidence &c. in the
cause, but they are too voluminous to adj
init Equalization even in daily paper.

Fatal Mistake Ofa Druggist,

A child about four years old was killed at New
York day two ago by an Overdose of Dover
powders. The prescription ofthc attending pbysi-
clan directed three grains to be made into six doses
but the druggist installing the quantity ordered,
made three doses of the six grains. About six hours
after the medicine was administered the child died.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict in accord
ance with these facts, but nevertheless exempting
the druggist from any blame in consequence Of his
inattention queer verdict.-Nak. Int.
Ifa "queer" one, it appears to us to be
very just verdict. We suppose drug
gists, like other men, are falliblc, and
there is no more reason for holding them
responsible for an involuntary act, than
there would be in furnishing sportsman
who had accidentally shot his comrade.-
1t is true, from the very nature ofthcir call
ing, druggists ought to be held to strict
accountability for all accidents resulting
from culpable negligence, or inexcusable
ignorance Of their profession but it is re-
quirlng rather too much of poor humanity,
to demand that a traffic in oils and arsenic
shall make man infalIible. In the Gaze
cited, 1t was evidently mistake in c
druggist, and that too in compounding a
medicine which, we believe is not usually
regarded as very dangerous. Had the
prescription included arsenic, the druggist
would have been inexcusable for any mis-
take. for in that case he would have been
expected to exercise more than ordinary
vigilance.

~ To-day the great question of SUBJ
scribing 100000 on the part of the County
to the capital stock of the North River
Navigation Company is to be submitted to
the qualified voters of Rockbridge. The
Company is now in the second year of its
operations, and nearly the entire distance
from the mouth of the River to Lexington
is under contract. If this subscription is
made, it will secure an additional aid on
the part Of the State, which, it is represcn-
ted IN the Lexington papers, win be suffi-
Gent to complete the Improvement. The
Stockholders having very wisely determ-
ined to alter the original plan of the work,
SO as to admit the same sized boats now in
use on the James River and kanawha Ca
nal, is the cause of this enlargement Of the
capital, the whole of which, when taken
will be SI75. 900.

We regret to learn by private letter
from Col. Crozct, that serious misfortune
bcfcl the third Tunnel on Saturday last
We give the accounts in his own words as
follows:
1--WE had this day, serious, and at the
same time fortunate accident at the third
Tunnel, which caved in, crushing the tim
bers and completely filing up the whole
excavation about IS feet long. The fortu-
nate part is, that the men all got out in
time. No work had been done there for
about four months, during which it stood
apparently safe. 1t is somewhat singular
that i should have given away after so
long time. just when we were preparing
to arch it. This Is the worst case of tun-
nelling that can be met with; rock requir-
ing blasting. and yet so affected by being
exposed to the air that it crumbles and
slidcs worse than earth. The seams are as
smooth and slippery as If they We're cover;
cd with soap.-iStoxsf0s Spectator.

1t is Mr.. Ralph Waldo Emerson's de-
liberate opinion that the fame of Daniel
Webster "died when the slave law was
born-that those who once delighted to
honor him, have taken his picture from the
wall and thrown the pieces into the gut
ter; have taken his speeches from their
shelves and thurst them into the fire; and
that all the salves Of the New York Com
mittee, cannot compensate him for the
wreck of his fame" Only think of that -

The London National Standard, in an
article devoted to tho Vorld's Exhibition,
INDUCES in a strain Of S0mmcnt on the free
trade professions and policy Of England
that it may be possible for some Of our
fric.ds to profit by. The Standard, after
stating the total number Of exhibitors from
foreign countries at 9,743, Of which France
sends rather more than ,one-third of the
whole. proceeds to say:
These figures must give TO Englishmen
much to think, and to reflect: but few
years ago Belgium could hardly be consid-
cred as manufacturing country. and this
year she sends to Hyde Park the large a.
mount Of 1850 specimens Of her own pro-
ductions. France, in 1915, had but few
and uninportant manufactures, and In
1851 she presents the high number OF
1929 samples Of her commerce. Prussia
is represented by LORE articles Of her own
fabrics, and many States who few years
ago were represented as our customers,
have become manufacturers and concur
rents with us in many foreign as well as in
our own markets. We are afraid that the
progress made by many Of the nations we
have named is owing to the blind policy
England has followed for SO many years;
by imposing many and heavy taxes on the
productions Of other countries, zoe haze
caused them to impose The reyy same duties
on our oun, and in selfdetence they hare
been Obliged to become producers instead Of
6xyeys ofgoods. We quarrel with other
countries for imposing duties on our goods,
and in the same breath we mulct their pro-
ductions to the utmost. We grumble at
the French for laying duty on our sea-
borne coal, and we lay tax OF three or
four times its market value on their BRAN
dy. We ask Government to interfere with
the ministers of the United States on ac-
count of their protective tariff, and we put
and receive duty of something like eight
hundred or nine hundred per cent. on their
tobacco, Intact, are insist on orr goods
being admitted free Of duty abroad, and zee
tar other countries goods wiM tie largest
and most erorbitant duties. We speak a.
bort reciprocity and free trade, but are do
not follou ont oar boast nor our 7,rinci-
PIES"
When we consider the poor figure that
the United States presents in the Worlds
Exhibition alongside of France. England.
and Prussia, and remember the policy by
which the latter States have attained their
proud position as manufacturing nations
what true AMERICAN can hesitate to be-
come the advocate of that policy which has
accomplished so much for them, and that
is capable of accomplishing so much more
for isl With her capital, skill, experience,
accumulated under centuries of protection,
England can afford to cry out Free trade
particularly if she exhausts herselfin the
country without changing her policy,-Re-
