was recently made by the Republican

crs, blunt and Mex cnney,) who had
been expelled from the country on &C.
count of their ant;.slavery sentiments.
We have not the least doubt that this
instruction story is a scheme on the
part Of the Methodist Church South,
to secure the expulsion Of all minis.
tiers of the old Methodist Episcopal
Church from the slaveholding States
1t is far more likely that the mob who
dispersed the Conference are at the
bottom of these incendiary proceed
ings, for the sake of pillagc, than that
the Methodist clergy are engaged in
plotting insurrcction among the slaves
We may add that the Methodist
preacher, Blunt, named above, recent
ly preached in this place, and is q
brother of John Blunt, the Sheriff Of
this county. Notwithstanding these
prosecutions of his brother, Sheriff
Blunt still remains the most active
and earnest Democratic politician we
have in Floyd county.

companicd the party, last May. by
whom Laura Harvey, Of Rockford,

the theory of the writer:
There is no doubt but that Macomb

both on the same night, first despatch
ing Lawrence with one well aimed
blow upon the back of the head, and
afterwards killing Miss Harvey lie

of knifes striking the water. whether he

extraordinary things happened on my birth

SINGULAR QUIRK IN HINDoo LAw.-The
Missionary Herald, of March has an account
of a decision made by an English magistrate
Of Amednugger, India, which, if acted upon
will completely revolutionize the positions OF
Christians in India 1t seems that some
Christian converts connected with the society
under the charge of the American missiona
res drew water out of the public tanks
which, as outcasts or low caste people, it was
claimed they had no right to do. An appeal
was made to the magistrate, who decided
that the Christians might have all the rights
which they had before conversion. The
Ilindoos, not satisfied with this, appealed to
the Governor in Council, who not only con-
hrmed the decision of the magistrate, but
went one step further, and reminded the
llindoos that. according to their own Shus
ters, tile caste of the Ruler is equal TO the
| highest" Thus all Christians being of "the
caste of the Ruler" or of the British Queen
are made the highest at once This if carried
out, will relieve Christian missionaries III
India of great deal ofannoyance.
