Des NEoinee Conference on Negro
Suffrage.

: the late session 1f tic lies Maines Con;
ference Of the NJ. L. Church. at Osceola, the
committee on the state of the country, sub
miited the following report. Rev. J. KNOTS
moved to strike out the resolution in favor Of
negro suifIage. Considerable discussion was
thereby provoked, The 0sceola Sentinel says:
ihe melton was supported in debate by
the said Knots. Rev. Mr. Nixon. and Rev.
hir. Iaines; the two latter, howeyer support

The question before the Conference. They

Mr. Mitchell, aud others who believe it good
nethodism to oppose wrong wherever found.
and under any and all circumstances. The
arguments in favor of the motion seemed to
produce but little effect as, if we rightly saw.
Mr.. Knots and Mr. Nixon only voting for it
sll. haines relcsed 20 support his voice
with his vote. After the passage OF the reso-
buttons, Bishop Simpson delivered q short adj
dress on the subject, in which he expressed
himself in fayoT of a7gro suffrage, bat was

by atauoiding the right of suffrage from the
Freedmen, there was, as some contended,
danger of his being re-enslaved, then it tcas
q prooer eHesiioa fer them 10 oct upon. since
slavery was detrimental 10 the interests of the
Church But if, on the contrary no such
danger existed he was of the opinion that
such questions had better be kept out Of the
Conference.
1st ReSolred, That while we render TO Al
mighty God deyout thanksgiving for the sue
cess of our arms, and the return of peace and
prosperity to our land. we will continue to
pray that His guiding hand and supporting
Providence may perpetuate ournationai great
ness aud glory.
I'd Resoace.I That while we lament the un-
timely death of our martyred President
abraham Lincoln we pledge eternal fidelity
to the principles FOR the maintenance of which
his life was sacrificed,
sd. ReSolred. That we have confidence in
the integrity and ability of Andrew johnson
as President of the United States, and we will
pray that God may make him strong in the
support of the principles of justice aud equal
rights.
4th Resolrcd, That to be true to the Freed
men, to the genius of our government, to the
natural rights of man, and the clear indica-
tions Of Providence, we must extend the cleo.
tive franchise without the invidious distinction
of color.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA.
The Iribttae'S special says certain Parties
whose course in regard to finances has al
ways been inimical 10 the Government, are
seizing on the fact of further issue of com
pound interest notes to assert that the value

This is untrue. al the compound interest
NOTES now being put out are exchanged for
those of older date bearing interest. which
accumulation of interest is saved the Coz
ernment, by the cancellation of old notes
or for the redemption of certificates OF in
debtedness. The vnlne Of the currency has
only been increased TO q small degree during
the past summer. which stands as a remarka-
bic fact in view of the enormous acquisitions
from the War Department.

The Mississippi Convention.

The JseksQn Nelos thus concludes an arti
ole commenting on the work of the late Con-
vention:
All the laws passed bear especially upon
the whites and blacks. Robbery, arson, rape
and other dark crimes, are to be punished
with death, no matter what the color of the
offender. The right Of property is to be pro-
tected, whether the owner be Caucasian or
African. INDECENT paupers are to be provi
ded for, and vagrants punished, be they of
what color they may. There has never been
the least objection made to educating the ne
gro; on the contrary, we want no ignorant
class of freedmen among U.s.
