FOR DxBr IN EseLkSD.-Ac-
cording to the official returns just issued on
the LIST Of August last, there was no less than
one thousand and ninety eight persons confined
in the various prisons in England for debt. In
the prison at Bedfeyd, one man, whose original
debt was nine shillings, was incarcersted for
twenty days, because he could not pay the ex-
penses Of the suit brought against him.
These amounted 10 FL o., or more than three
times as much as the original debt In snoth-
er case, q man was In prison for ten days be-
cause be could not pay ten shillings and four
pence, being ths e1pences of debt Of three
shillipgs and sixpsncs. In third, the debt
amounted to FL Is Sd, and the costs e. IS I'd.
These, and many similar cases, have attract
ed much attention, and the policy of abolish
ing imprisonment for debt Is now openly dis
cussed.

The Bishop HANLISE CAsE.-On Saturday,
the Methodist General Conference, at Indiana
polls, in the case CT the Rev. Mr.. Harlan,
adopted the following resolution by vote of
139 to6:
Resolved, by the delegates of the several
annual conferences Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in General Conference assembled.
That the decision of the Cincinnati annual
conference of said church, in the case of
Lorenzo D. Harlan, be, and the same is here
by affirmed.
Rev. Mr.. Harlan, 1t will be remembered,
was expelled from the church by the Cincin-
natl conference, tho charges against Bishop
Hamline not being substantiated. The re-
suit of his appeal to the Indianapolis body is
the re affirmation of the Bishops innocence.
The charges against the Bishop were that
Harlan's wife, (whose IN alden name was Mary
Bakery had, before her marriage, in 1910 or
al, been an inmate of Bishop Hamline's house,
aud that Mrs. Hamline had complained to her
of the Bishops infdelity, and related in
stances Of improprieties with young girls She
regarded it as mon0mana in the Bishop, and
alleged that he lost all self-control on certain
occasions. In this belief, Miss Baker said that
after further acquaintance with the Bishop,
given by the Rev. Mr.. Sunderland and q
number of others, establishing tho truth of the
alIeg atoms. On the other hand, Mrs Ham.
line, the wife of the Bishop, testified most
positively that she never told such things to
Mary Baker, and that such things never trans
pired.
The Gazette says that
Ever since the trial commenced, parties
of young ladies have appeared in the rotunda
at the opening Of every session, and either
sent for or stopped clergymen of their &C.
quaintance, to ask admittance. These ladies
know full we'll tho nature Of the trial-they
know that it has been stated in conference
that it was case not proper for them to hear.
If they did not know the doors were closed
they would walk up to the entrance as usual,
and not send for some one to ask If there was
no way in which they could get in.
These are not wantons or gossips, but highly
respectable ladies. They are, however, true
daughters of Eve, brimful Of curiosity--a de-
sire to know good and evil-which, if un-
checked, may lead to tasting forbidden fruit.
This curiosity is one evidence Of their mex.
perierce. They may have less Of it when
The tree Of knowledge has been plucked-all's
And life yields nothing more.

There was no law, as Mr.. j understood it,
which gave one man the right to vote sooner
than it did another after he had become q
citizen of tho United States. The qualifca-
ton Of q voter, as prescribed by the act of
Congress, was that he must be free white
male citizen Of the United States, twenty one
years of age, and q resident for certain
length Of time in the city Another condition
was that he should have been assessed for a
school tax for the year ending the 3lst of De-
cember preceding the election at which he
proposed to vote.
Mr.. Davis, of Maryland, thought the gen.
tleman was undoubtedly in error as to the
law. The law required a person before he
could vote to have been assessed for a school
| tax. Ee could Lot be so assed until he was
tWenty-one years Of age. Unless, therefore,
he was twenty one years OF age on or before
the 3lst Of December, there was no time at
which he could be assessed for the school tax
prior to the election, which was held on the
FIRST Monday in June. Therefore, if he be-
came twenty ono years OF age between the
3lst of December and the first Monday in
June, he was excluded from voting.
Mr.. Jones. am willing to concede that I'M
der the law of Congress, which 1 wished to
correct; but gentlemen on the other side ex-
hibited such opposition to 1t that We had to
drop that part Of the bill.
As he understood the law, no poll tax could
be levied upon person unless he was citizen
of the United States. Then he must not only
be twenty one years Of age prior toor upon the
3lst Of December preceding the election, but
he must be a citizen ut the time the tax was
levied for the year preceding the election a,
ioh he proposed to vote. Consequently he
was not taxed until he was a citizen, and be
| must be taxed and must pay that tax for the
year ending the 3lst December preceding the
election at which it was his intention to vote.
Mr.. Davis, Of Maryland. Where does the
gentleman get that construction Of the law?
