TIE METHODIST CHURCH CASE. This case is
opened in the United States District Court. New
York, before Judges Nelson and Belts The court
room was crowded, and several Methodist clergymen
were present. The following is accurate, though
brief statement of the case:
So The Rev. Francis Harding STAKEHOLDER of the
State of Virginia, was suspended by the Baltimore
Conference, which was held about a wear previous
to the general Conference of 1874 for his connection
with slavery. The action of this body was after
wards confirmed by the General Conference, which
also suspended Bishop Andrew from the performance
OF his official duties, because Of his holding slaves
whom he had obtained possession of by marriage,
and of his refusal to liberale them.
In consequence of the course taken by the Gene
raj Conference, the Southern delegates declared that
continued agitation of this subject would compel
them either abandon the slave States separate
from The y orth.
The southern delegates afterwards agreed upon
what was called plan of separation, and southern
convention held on their return home, resolved 10
tabsh sepeTate organization but the northern
ference which had possession of the funds, refused
10 give any share of them 10 that division of the
church, which became known the South
Methodist Church.
Afler'ths refusal, southern commissioners APP
pointed by the General Conference (South) insti-
Iute this suit for recovery OF between and eight
hundred thousand dollars, the amount claimed by
them part owners of the general fund previous
the separation, and which is present invested in
the Methodist book establishment of Ohio, New
y ork, and the charitable fund of Philadelphia
The counsel employed on the part of the plaintiffs
Mr.. d. Lord and Reverdy Johnson, and for the
deiendents Messrs. George w God and Rufus Choate
Mr.. Thomas Ewing has also been retained counsel
for the plaintiffs
This trial is still going forward. When conclud-
ed, will give readers the result Of it. 1t is
matter which concerns the whole country, and one
in which every Southern especially must take
deep interest

how universally the advertising columns of the

daily see and hear Of parents in the country

ing. A great majority of these, when out of
their apprenticeship, fall into the ranks of the
great army of unemployed gentlemen who

reaches wealth, ten fall and go to the bow-wows
1t is far better to give children good educa-

the reorganization of the Treasury. At the
session of 1886, petitions were again pre-
sented from the clerks. On the 18th April,
1000, a resolution was adopted in the House,
Gaining Tor the names, ages, salaries, dates of
appointment and promotion, and duties OF the
clerks and on the 25th April, one in the
Senate, calling for the opinions of the heads of
Departments upon the justice and propriety of
increasing their compensation, and the proper
amount of such increase. Full and explicit
reports were made in reply to both resolutions.
On the 10th May, 1886, Mr.. Cave johnson,
from the Committee of Ways and Means, made
report statistical and argumentative, in favor
of ,augmenting the salaries of the clerks, and
presented bill for that purpose. The bin pro-
posed to establish five grades Of clerks at sala-
ries respectively of $1,000, $l, 500, ST. 800,
$2,l00, and 2,4O0, and for promotions from
the lower grades to the next above respectively.
The bill failed to become law; but at the next
session, 1867 provision was inserted in the
civil and miscellaneous appropriation bill as a
temporary expedient, allowing for one year to
the clerks over $1 900 and under 1000 per
annum 10 per cent, and to the clerks not over
81, 600 and messengers 20 per cent. on the
amount of their respective salaries. In the act
for the reorganization of the General Land
Office, it was provided that the Departments
should be kept open for business at least ten
hours in summer and eight in winter-Sundays,
the 4th of July, and Christmas day, excepted.
An honest but twain effort was made to enforce
this law. 1t failed from the utter impossibility
Of keeping men together for so many hours
without food, and was abandoned from the con-
viction that six uninterrupted hours of labor
were more effectual than the greater number
thus broken in upon. ra6 a.
