Council Of War, condemning TO death 27

petition.
General technique, the new president
Of Peru. received the executive authority
on the Goth Of april. The occasion was
signalized by two events Of very different
character-The opening of the rail road
from Caloa TO Lima and the breaking out
of revolt in the city Of Arequipa. II
appears that company of the friends OF
Gen. Echiniqe, among them the intend

tho ooh Of A pril, celebrating the inau-
guration of the new president, which took
place the same day at Lima. In the heat
Of their enthusiasm they hung out BAN

This was distasteful TO the population, a
majority of whom were friendly to Vivian.

party Col. Lopez, ordered out troop
of cavalry aud attempted to disperse them.
This brought on a collision; barricades
were thrown up, general fight commenc-
ed, and each party began to plumber the
house Of the other. The Prefect Of the
City attempted to quell the disturbance
but without effect.

A Scene i'm the Lunatic Asylum.

The editor of the New York Mirror gives
some particulars Of the recent visit of Pres
ident Fillmore to the Lunatc Asylum. The
following is brief extracts
On entering the chapel, where some two
hundred of these unfortunates were quietly
seated. the overseer introduced the Presi-
dent of the United States. when all rose, re.
spectfuly bowed. and resumed their seats
Each member Of tho pstty was then intro
dueed by name, when the same ceremony
was profoundly repeated. Mr.. Meltby, a
wise lunatic, then arose and welcomed the
President in a strain Of graceful and touch
ing oloquence that drew tears 20 every eye.
He is tall, thin, pale man, with penetrating
eyes, fine voice, and gestures belonging
to the polite oratory of gentleman Of the old
school,"
The Presidents reply was also very hap
py and very affecting. Lo orderly and well
behaved company surely has not greeted
him in all his travels. In one Of the female
wards, the whole party was introduced indi-
vidually TO an elegantly dressed and most
accomplished lady, tao daughter Of one Of the
most distinguished lawyers New York has
ever produced. She had the'right word
ready for every one who addressed her, and
bouquet of her own arranging, in The most
tasteful and graceful manner. We saw the

She did not appear to be over seventeen

A correspondent writes from Graham

Of any aid from foreign sources, indeed
it is currently stated that the governor will
not take the responsibility of sending for

the repeated service required of them, and
the continued state of uncertainty in which
they live. And even the west feels the in
fluence Of the war most bitterly.

The Methodist Church Case.

The public announcement of the recent de-
cision in this case. has awakened some curiosi-
~ in the community to learn some of the par
ticaiars concerning ito crafty which, so far
as our own readers are concerned, we have
gathered the following. The cause Of division
originally grew out of the slavery question:
Up to within few years this large body of
Christians knew bot one church organization
in the country. North and South existed only
with them as descriptive terms, but about the
year 1914, the slavery question was forced into
their conferences, from the discussions upon
which have sprung the most bitter feuds and
hear,bnrnings. From first considering the
questions whether the holding of slaves as
properly, and whether the countenancinp of
slavery, in any way, can be in accordance with
the principles of The Christian religion feel
ing Of luminosity has been engendered. which
has defed the principles of their religious pro-
fessions to quell, and which has only been
settled by being dragged into the arena Of legal
strife. An immense amount Of property being
held in common by this organization hitherto,
disputes arose as to the rights of the respec-
tive divisions-out of which grew the law suit
which, considering its moral aspect, and the
amount Of property involved, may be consid-
cred as one of the most important law suits thai
has ever occurred ia onr country Eminent
legal talent was secured on each side, and the
case has been amply litigated. The final de-
