The Legislature of Virginia, before its re-
cess, passed temporary Stay Law, which
we do not believe was well considered. This
law includes all debts contracted since April
Bird, 1865. From all we can learn, through
our Richmond cotemporaries, this was an
oversight, and was sought to be remedied
just prior to the recess, but too late to be
done
: There is no doubt that Stay Law should
be passed, for to allow all debts to be collect
ed at once, under the existing circumstances,
would impoverish the people of our State,
without paying one-half Of their liabilities,
and would be equally bad for both Debtor
and Creditor The passage Of a Stay Law
to include all contracts since April 3D., would
be equally unjust Considering the right to do
go as unquestionable, which is not the case, }
to those men who have stepped forward to as
sIst us by loans, or given us credit to give us
start. Besides this our people do not de-
sire debts contracted since the cessation of
hostilities to be included They expect to be
able to make, upon loans or articles for
which they incurred debts since April 3rd,
enough to pay those dues with interest, and
also little towards liquidating older claims
if the Stay Law should stand as at present
We believe our people would pay as if there
was no such law; but why the necessity for
such an act? Its results would be bad
We therefore call upon our Legislature to
enact proper Stay Law, in reference to
debts contracted prior to April 3rd, 1865,
but let these who have incurred debts since
that time take care of themselves, which we
believe they can and will readily do.
We have received copy of the report of
Mr.. Lawrence Sangston, Secretary of the
Baltimore Agricultural Aid Society, giving
full and detailed account of the operations
of the Society. The object of this assoc;a-
ton was to distribute, to those persons in
Virginia who Lad been deprived of the means
OF prosecuting their agricultural operations,
such agricultural implements, seeds &C.,
as they might need, to be paid FOR after the
next crop should be secured.
tir. Sangston reports the distribution of
ST., l20 worth ofsueh articIesas we're needed
to 912 persons, residing in so Counties, and
estimates the increase in the agricultural pro-
ducts of Virginia, this year, from the efforts
Of the Society, at half a million dollars.
We have ever had kindly feeling for
Raltimoreans, but since theend of hostilities.
the many acts Of kindness to lis and MANY
Of our friends, by the citizens of the Monu-
mental City, have endeared them to us more
than ever. The voluntary efforts Of the Bal
timore, A: 4. Society, for the many needy
farmers Of our State, is a mere general ex-
hlbit Of the generosity Of Baltimoreans, and
their kind feelings for the unfortunate peo-
pie OF our devastated State, and will surely
naat With IL .,lertsd rsvard.

DOG LAws-DEAD DOGs.-If there is
any State law in regard to dogs, or city
ordinance requiring their being kept within
doors or muzzled at this or any other season
Of the year, they should be rigidly enforced.
The Legislature of Ohio has passed a dog
law, by which owners of dogs are liable to
heavy penalties for allowing them to be off
their premises after 7 o'clock, p. NJ. Also,
giving a premium Of two dollars head for
all dogs killed off their owners premises
after o'clock, P. NJ From the first Of July
to the first of October, all dogs allowed to
run at large in the city should be muzzled;
and it Is the duty of the City Council to pass
an ordinance to that effect. We do not APP
prove of the wholesale slaughter of the ca
nine tribe Yet, from the large number of
dead dogs We noticed lying in different parts
of the city yesterday morning, we are led
to believe that systematic plan is being
carried cut to poison all dogs found running
at large. Let US have dog law that viii
relieve the PRISONERS from all nervous APP
prehensions of hydrophobia.

The SPEAKER decided that M. JAR
WIS was entitled to the. privilege claimed
but as there was no quorum present il
would be better, perhaps, to have the mat
ter deferred until a quorum could be Sc
cured.
Mr. ARNELL rose to a question of priv
ilege and submitted thefollowing resolution
ResotUed, That a special committee Of sew
en- be appointed to inquire into and ascer-
tain the extent Of privilege and authority
Of the House of Representative in view of
an alleged breach Of its privileges and dig
nifty ca the part of the Judiciary; and with
authority to send for persons and papers,
and employ counsel.
The SPEAKER said that in view Of the
fact that there was no quorum present, he
could not put the resolution to the House.
Mr. ARNELL appealed from the decision
of the Chair.
The Speakers decision was overruled by
4 vote ef 80 to p
On a suspension Of the rules, the question

put and carried by ayes A, noes :.
The SPEAKER asked that Mr.. NORMAN
occupy the Chair temporarily, as he, Mr..
HEIsKELL, wished to be relieved from APP
pointing the committee referred to in the
resolution.
Mr.. NORMAN took the Chair, and ap-
pointed the following committee: Messrs.
ARNELI, SMITH, of Hardeman, MULLINS,
THoRNBURG, WINES, ELLIOTT and SHEP-
PARD.
Mr.. RICHARDS rose and said that he
had met Mr.. WILLIAMS, the member from
Carter, and that he was requested by him to
say to the House that he, WILLIAMS, was
ready to come before the House to have his
case investigated, whenever a quorum could
be secured.
Mr. MULLINS objected to Mr.. VIII
LIANIs being allowed to communicate to the
House by proxy.
Mr.. RICHARDS thought if some mea-
sures we're not resorted to Immediately, fifty
six members could not be got together this
session. He would favor at once the pass
age Of a resolution adopting a new basis for
a quorum. 1t would have to come to that,
and why not adopt it at once, finish the bust
ness on hand, and go home.
Mr.. WINES, whileadmitting that the new
basis might with propriety be adopted,
thought ffty-six members could certainly be
got together on Mondry.
On motion, the House adjourned until
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

The CHURCH Cash. yesterdays issue
we noticed a case involving the right Of
churches in property held for purposes Of
worship, decided before three Justices in
favor Of the McKendree Church. We have
since been furnished with the following facts:
In 1851 the Trustees appointed by the
quarterly meeting conference Of McKendree
Church, purchased Of RoBr. LUsK lot Of
land next of the Chattanooga depot, and
erected on It a church edifce, which was
dedicated as Caper' Chapel, for the use Of
the colored members Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South. The lot and building
were paid for by moneys derived from the
sale Of the old African Church, and sub
acrptions from citizens, white and colored,
and one-half Of the proceeds Of the sale Of
the old Camp Ground, directed by the Nc
Kendree Church for such purposes. The
old African Church and Capers' Chapel
were both under the control and supervision
Of McKendree Church, and held by Trus-
tees, during their powers from said Quar-
terly Meeting Conference. The ministers
appointed by tho annual Conference in
charge Of Capers' Chapel, generally had
charge Of Capers' Chapel, and occasionally
another minister was added as a missionary
to said chapel This state Of things con
tinued late in 1862, when Rev. DIR. BALD
WIN, the minister in charge, was arrested by
the military authority and sent to Ohio.
He left Capers' Chapel temporarily
m charge Of a colored preacher, who,
with the congregation, continued to wor-
ship there ill 1865, when the Bishop Of
the African Methodist Church came TO the
city aud organized society, n majority Of
the Chapel going over aud joining the new
society, the Bishop advising them to rent
some private house or the chapel to worship
in and not to take the chapel without She
consent Of eli the members Of the old chapel
society. This advice was disregarded by
the new society, who presumed TO claim the
chapel, inasmuch as a majority had left the
old organization and Joined the new. APP
llication was made by committee Of the
trustees, appointed as herein before specified
for the property, to the preacher placed
there by the African Church Bishop. The
preacher Brooks peremptorily refused to
surrender il 10 the proper owners and hence
suit was brought, and decided by three jus
ticcs that the African Methodist Church
claim could not held the property. Upon
this decision they appealed, giving bond and
security for rents and costs. 1t will come
zap before the next Circuit Court for final
decision.

THE Fires LAST NIGHT.-The first alarm
Of fire sounded last night, was caused by a
fire which broke out in the clothing house
of Messrs. We'll & Co, on the south side Of
the Public Square, adjoining the drug store
of Messrs. BERRY, DEnIovILLE & WAR
TON. The fire was occasioned by the use Of
coal oil lamp in the counting-room in the
rear Of the building. The flames spread and
soon burst through the roof and were COM
municated to the rear of the drug store,
threatening at one time most destructive
conhagration. Through the efforts Of the
Fire Department, the flames were at last ex-
tinguished, with loss of $4,000 to $4,000.
and to BERRY, DEnIovLLE & WHARTON of
a like amount. The principal part Of the
losses sustained by these gentlemen was
from water.
While this fire was raging, another alarm
wassounded, occasioned by the breakingo out of
fire in small frame warehouse, owned by
the Government, on Broad street. opposite
the Decatur Railroad depot, which was
burned down, together with two frame
shanties adjoining, used, We believe, as
restaurant, The brick building to the west
owned by DR.. LENoIR, and used as board
ing house. was considerably damaged on the
rcof. and the inmates lost quite seriously
by the hasty removal Of furniture, etc.
