Tho Columbia &. g. correspondent OF
the New York Herald says
The manner of conducting the business OF
tie houses here differs materially from the
method IN New York. The presidents Of
the two bodies arr Scn dressed in purple
gowns, lined aud friugci with velvet in the
same color, and with kl gloves in their
hands. while the clerks wear flowing silk
robes, after the fashion OF English harris
tiers. The members observe but little order

is going on, ard only seated and silent from
courtesy during debate The fashion, too.

Queens be caught suddenly in the South

House at Representatives three reporters,

eJ for by the fac, that no lobbying is done
on The floor, and no stationery orders arr
allowed. Both members and reporters ARE
furnished with such articles " stationery A.

is all. Another feature OF distraction be-
tween this legislature and our own. is the
tact that every member here pays fun fare
for oil bis railroad riding. No such thing
as free pass to Representative was
ever heard OF in the State. The moral OF
all this Is, that the South Carolipiaus lcgis-

A TRIAL SERMON.

1t will doubtless afford much pleasure
to the friends of Mr. George Dixon, clerk
for so many years of the Abyssinian bap-
tist Church, of this city, to hear that his
son, Mr.. VIM. T. Dixon, preached his trial
sermon on Tuesday evening, September
13, in said church, preparatory to entering
the ministry. We noticed within the al
tar, beside the pastor of the church, ReV'
Mr.. Spelman, the Revs. Messrs. Cary and
Hawkins. The latter is pastor of the Bap-
tist Church at Newburg After the regu-
lar opening service, the candidate took tor
his text the 18th, 10Th, 18th, and l4th
verses of the second chapter of PauPs
Epistle to Titus. We are pleased to
say that the sermon gave evidence OF
much thought and study, and that
we have no doubt of the final success
of this young man in being, by Gods help,
of much usefulness in that branch of the
Church of Christ to which he is attached.
Messrs. Spelman and Cary then made some
very acceptable remarks, after which Dea-
con VIM. Fenwick extended the right hand
to the candidate, invoking the blessings OF
the Lord on his labors in His vineyard.
The father of our young friend then made
a short address, but it was very evident
that his heart was too full for utterance.
The meeting was closed by prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Hawkins, and the benediction
The proceedings seemed to afford much
gratifca ion to the large congregation as
sembled This church is in a very Hour
ishing condition, and numbers on its roll
some 43O members. The society has late
ly purchased very neat church edifce in
Waverly Place, few doors north of Sixth

NEW HAVEN, 0ept. loj 1903
DEAR ANGLo.-To sojourner, the color
ed people of this elm-shaded city present
the appearance Of considerable thrift and
prosperity, which is, in great measure, |
am informed, due to their being totally ex.
empt here, and throughout the State also,
from taxation, as an offset to the depriva-
ton of the exercise of the elective fran
chise, and one of the most important leSlt-
innate results is the great number OF real
estate owners in almost every village, town
and city.
There are quite a number OF coioreo
mechanics here, viz: carriage and Dody
makers, four; carpenters and jolnsrS, eiSn''
boot and shoe makers, four; brick layers
and plasterers, three; carriage and olach,

THE CLOSING MEETING.

The closing meeting of the Association

rian Church, ON Monday evening The

es. The meeting was addressed by the

racuse.
The Rev. Henry Highland Garnet made
the concluding address, in the name of the
Association, bidding an affectionate fare
well to the people, He reminded the min
listers, elders and deacons of the response
bility resting on them, and urged them not
only to renewed but to increased activity
in the great work contemplated by the AS
sociation. He charged the people to be
more afectionate towards each other, and
to work more earnestly for their own and
the elevation of the race.
The meeting was closed with the usual

MISSIONARY MEETING.

On Sunday evening the Missionary
Meeting, appointed by the Association,
was held in Shiloh Presbyterian Church,
New York. The Rev. Henry Highland
Garnet, in the absence of the President of
the Association, conducted the exercises.
The opening prayer was offered by the
Rev. Mr.. Bowman, of Cincinnati. After
singing the hymn "Watchman tell us of
the right" &C., the Rev. Henry H. Garnet
stated the object of the meeting to be that
of hearing addresses from brethren from
various parts Of the country, in reference
to the great subject of Christian Missions,
at home and abroad. He said that men,
bers of the churches had common inter-
est in the object of the Association, and
had duty to perform in connection with
it. Each one could become member by
paying half dollar to its funds annually.
What the Association wanted to do with
the money was to aid feeble churches and
churches which were destitute of ministers.
There were nine churches now without
pastors, and the idea of the Association
was to provide and sustain an evangelist
whose duty it should be to travel and visit
the churches, to encourage and strengthen
them. Another object would be to en-
courage young men to devote themselves
to study, with view to preparation for
the Gospel ministry, and he hoped that ere
long a sufficient number of young men
would be found offering themselves, and
that the needed help would be forthcoming
from the churches, through the Association.
The meetings of the Association during
past week had been of very encouraging
character, and the deliberations had been
characterized by much harmony and broth
erly love.

Believing that the publication of your in

with the wicked prejudice existing against
