Row in the Colored Baptist Church.

A very sable member of the above named
Church has made us acquainted with a little
squabble which occurred in their place of
worship in this city few nights ago. 1t an
pears that the present installed minister is
not acceptable to his entire congregation. A
portion of them openly proclaim that he has
collected funds in the name of the Church.
which he has never paid over. This is as
stoutly denied upon the other side. Our in.
formant says that a meeting was held few
evenings ago for the purpose of settling some
Church matters, when a move was made to
remove from Church membership, or from
his position as church dignitary, a man
who was little obnoxious to the installed
preacher because of his persistent inquiries
as to the alleged missing funds. The meet
ing was equally divided between the preach.
er (he himself votng) and the obnoxious
member, when the preacher brought in his
wife, in order to have her cast her vote on
his side and so settle the question in his ia
vor. Wherelpon our informant rose to his
feet, armed with club, and vehemently
protested against her voting, charging that
she was no true member, having been snug
gled into the Church by four votes only, when
1t required a much larger number &c. &c
This aroused the wrath of the contendinp
minister, and he advanced with irate de-
'"e"nor upon our informant The latter
raised his club, and was abont TO fry tho
strength of the preachers skull, ty landinp
his weapon upon the top of it, when he was
siezed by the brethren and prevented. In
the turmoil and agitation, the female voted
and the point was decided in favor of the
preacher Our informant says that if h,
"had jist got one pass" at the preachers head
with that ar club" he thinks he would hav,
settled the question for that night, "sho.'
Probably he would.

public will remember the Dutch impostor
who was sentenced to the Chain Gang, for
soliciting charity with forged paper bear
ing the name ofa German doctor Of this city
Yesterday, while Simmons, the Captain of the
Chain Gang, was working them on Second
street, this fellow put out across the Yuba
Bridge, and made straight coat tail down
the Sacramento road. Simmons did not dis
cover him, until he was about hundred
yards off, but, as soon he saw him, left the
balance Of the Gang and "made for" him
with at possible expedition. The Dutchman
did not stop to inquire the rate Of toll at the
Bridge, Tut passed on, and so did Simmons
-who was equally oLlvious of the toll keeper
The Dutchman was better "on the speed
thar Simmons, hut Simmons had the advan
tage Of him in wind and bottom. Simmons
ran him nearly all the way down TO the town
of Eliza, before he caught him, and when Re
brought him back, both were blowing like
porpuses" 1t might have been expected that,
during the chase, the remaining members Of
the Chain Gang would take the opportunity
to leave but they were too honest, and pa
tiently awaited their Captains return. Sim
mons is hard to beat on a long heat.

The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The Philadel-
phia North American, after stating that re
cent experiments and investigations seem to
establish that the failure Of the Atlantic tele-
graph was owing to the defective construc-
ton of the cable in part, but still more to the
negligence with which it was used after it
was made and was yet on shore, adds as fol-
lows:
But, disregarding the responsibilities i'm
posed upon them, the stupid British in charge
of the cable, allowed it to be ruined before
embarkatiOn for it now turns out that the
gutta percha had become melted by exposure
to the sultry heat of midsummer sun, in
stead of being put under shed, us the direc
tors had intended and ordered. Thus the
conductor was twisted by the coils, and in
many places weakened, aud the insulation
destroyed. Worse STILL this ininry was
known before embarkation. and yet the cable
was suffered to go out, though any expert
electrician might have known that it would
result in failure. The defects in it are
easily discoverahe in the remnant left after
the whole line was laid Two pieces of this
were put into use lately at St. Louis. Mo-, for
the cable crossing the Mississippi river to
connect with the telegraph through Illinois
and they failed completely and in cutting
up the cable in New York, for charms, great
defects were discovered in it.

THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 18th.

A COMPETENT CANDIDATE 1t seems to be
generally admitted that the Lecompton can
didates for Office are very competent men
that is, they are very competent to be can
ddates. One of this sort was running on
the Lecompton ticket in a northern county,
las we are informed by gentleman from the
region limited at) in the late campaign. lie
ran for the Office of County Surveyor end
when the resul. was generally ACKNOWLEDGED
to be in favor Of the Lecompton side, he
commenced his preparations for donning the
official mantle of his predecessor He labor
ed, however, under one great drawba TX, and
that was that he knew nothing at all, either
of surveying or anything else. Determined
to post himself in time. he rushed over to
the house of the existing incumbent, who
was then engaged in drifting large mining
diments of arithmetic and the art Of survey
ing AS an inducement, he offered to drift
for his proposed instructor during the day, If
the latter wo1ld teach him at night. The
agreement was made. and the work went on,
the drifting" by day and the instruction
by night for the space of two weeks; and it
may well be believed, that under this system
the physical and mental strength of our hero
was pretty severely taxed. Uncomplaining
ly, however, he pushed on with his diurnal
and nocturnal tasks, until the expiration Of
the time specified. After it was announced
that the votes were counted, he employed a
notary to draw up his bond, obtained his
securities, &c, and went up to take his office,
when, to his profound astoni'hment, he was
politely informed that he ,cas not elected, but
on the contrary, had been beaten by nearly
500 votes.
His instructor has said nothing of hi:
qualifications as a scholar, but speaks highly
of him as day laborer.

The FortSmith Times says: We learn from
a gentleman, from the Cherokee Nation, who
is well posted in Indian matters. that the A
merican Board of Foreign Missions, Boston,
MasO, intend abandoning their Missions in
the Indian country west of Arkansas be
cause the Indians are Shareholders. The
Churches that were planted by this board
under pious men, connected with the Board
upwards of forty years ago. are to be aban-
doned because the Secretary of the Board,
Mr.. Treat, is an Aboliionist. He has been
ut work for several years, in bringing about
this cherished object of his and we presume
he has fully succeeded in AbolitOnizing the
American Board, and the souls OF Indians
must he left to perish because they own
slaves or reside in country that tolerates
the institution. Mr.. Treat has been at war
with the old Missionaries in the Choctaw
Nation for years, on the subject Of slavery
and these men have spent their lives in the
Mission service faithfully. and at last this
new light becomes the Secretary of the Board
and these old Ministers, with their Churches,
are to be abandoned and thrown aside, be-
cause of the existence of slavery in the Ma
ton.
Comment is unnecessary, rs the mere re-
cital of the facts will carry sufficient condem
nation with it, i'll the minds of all good men.
