a fact that have been at last reluctantly led
to believe, namely, that 1t would be prudent
in the President to adopt some measures for
his personal safety. The infiammatory ap-

the pitch of fury, and they have been led to

TIE BALTIMORE CONFERENCE.

We give place to the following reference
to this ecclesiastical body. 1t is an extract
from letter written by member of the
Conference in South Western Virginia:
"On the 18th of February, 1866. the Bal
timorc Conference will meetlu Alexandra, Va
Rev. Samuel Register, an honored member
OF that Conference, invites through an 'Ad-
dress the ministers and laity of the Church
within the bounds of the Conference 'to take
part in the reorganization of the nuch-abused
but only true Baltimore Annual Conference
In 1861 the Conference met in Staunton va,
and defined its ecclesiastical position. 1t join
ed issue with the General Conference of the
NJ. 4. Church, North, in respect to action of
that body on the question of slavery land refus-
cd to be governed by what it considered as
unconstitutional Legislation. And yet it
claimed that it forfeited no ecclesiastical rights
and retained its integrity as Conference of
the Methodist Iipiscopal Church.
sThs body will in February become part
of the NJ L. Church, South. This is dis
tinctly avowed by both preachers and people.
1.-THE Supreme Court Of the United States
years ago'decidcd that the NJ. Z Church,
South, was sound in all the constitutional
claims of Merhodism, and equal to the North

GREELEI'S POSITION.
EFFER SON,

The New York Tribune of the 10Th in-
slant, says:
q We do most earnestly desire and labor
for the extension Of the right Of suffrage to
blacks wherever it IS now denied them, and
shall continue to do, though we may not in
slst that either Colorado or Virginia shall be
kept out Of Congress till she couccdcs it,"
And again:
AS the requiring a certain probation of
the frccdmen,we know none who oppose it,
We are more than willing to give a hearty
assent to such probation Only render it
certain that an honest, Industrious. thrifty.
intelligent negro shall not be prescribed mere
ly because of his color or race, and We will
agree to almost anything. And herein we
speak what most Republicans stand ready to
confirm"
If all the Radicals were as reasonable as
Greeley, the Southern States would soon be
fully restored to their position in the Union
The tone of his paper is gradually improving.
He acknowledges at least that.
The good work of reconstruction is pro-
cceding at the South with cheering rapidly.
We say at the South, in contradistcntion Of
what is doing at Washington, though we be-
lie7e that there also all is gong on we'll
But the real reconstruction is proceeding at
the South, this at Washington being only
the shadow. From every side we hail evil
denccs of a growing accord between whites
and blacks, based on consciousness that
their interests are not antagonistic, but iden-
teal. 1t is morally certain that all the fair
middlng cotton that can be grown in 1866
may be sold at twenty-five to thirty cents per
pound in gold, which affords net profit Of
fifteen to twenty cents. In other words, the
labor of each able-bodicd, experienced field
hand will produce, on the average, at least
five hundred dollars worth of cotton, while
the cost of hiring and feeding such field
hand will not average two hundred and fifty
dollars. Assuming that there are to- day one
million negroes in the South who can be
hired to make cotton (there are more than one
million, but not all full hands,) the profit on
their labor for the current year will be two
hundred and fifty million dollars. Now,
there are many pcnnylcss rufians and row.
dies at the South, but they have not full sway
there, while the more intelligent, reputable,
property holding class have all ii deep stake
in the establishment of mutual confidence
and good will between whites and blacks
And this work, with some local interruptions,
is rapidly proceeding"

MIR. EDITOR Il concur with you in your
views as expressed in Your last issue, as to
the necessity Of an extended railroad throurh-
out the Valley Of Virginia, and that more
liberal legislative action should be adoptcd
no mere local interest or interests should be
allowed to subvert great general interest,
such as believe an entire chain of railroad
throughout the Valley would prove to be and
especially should the legislature place bonus
Of 25cts per head upon the travel Oh such
road
But have an objection to that control be-
ing given to that anaconda, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, unless it can be
made sensitive to public and individual rights,
by rigid Legislation See their cxorbtant and
unreasonable rates of way freiytIts, imposed
upon the people along their line, where they
have no alternative except the road wagon,
and it is free from opposition. Then Prcsi-
dent CARROTS last address, upon the occasion
of his reelection, disclOses a great bsorbinc
system. The energy and system of manage
ment of this Company is to be admired and
commended, but its great lack of approzima-
ton to conscience and l;berality, and fairness
Is greatly to be aPprchendcd. l know that
the Inherent and dormant wealth of this
beautiful Valley cannot be developed for many
years to come, except by the aid Of foreign
capital, but l do not want to sec it Crashed
by mercenary hand. that has no mutual
warmth. Let us see that each gets its pro-
portloEatc share Of benefits.

A CONSCIENTIOUS DEMAGoGuE-The
Philadelphia Ledger, speaking of Thaddeus
Stevens attempt to dictate to Congress and
domineer over the President, says:
SIN 1888 at the capital of Pennsylvania,
he whipped his party followers into the wick
ed measure of attempting to set aside the cleo.
ton by the people, and foist upon the Com
monweaIth a minority candidate for Cover
nor, aud a minority Legislature. Three hon
est members of the same party with MI Ste
vens, refused to carry out these reasonable
practices: One of them (John Montelius)
testified before the committee Of Investigation
that he told Mr. Stevens that his conscience
would not permit him to sanction these cor
rupt proceedings" Conscience, indeed

A MESSAGE.

Governor BoremaH, Of West Y Virginia.
State which has its existence by virtue of no
provision of the Federal Constitution, nor by
the will Of the people inhabitiag it, but by
the miserable fiction of military necessity
has addressed his annual message to his leg
islature-a great portion of which is consti-
tuted of members who hold their seats by
the operation Of the baldest frauds upon the
ballot boK5 and this message reads more like
the rant OF such radicals as Stevens, than the
utterances ola executive officer giving out
the affairs of his State; and, indeed, in many
places 1t shows bitterness Of temper utterly
u1becom ng any man protesting to be a states
man.
In that portion OF the message which treats
Of the status of Jefferson, and which most
affects US, the Governor recites his action in
October last, in reference to the election
which 1t was proposed should be held Under
the laws Of Virginia, for the purpose of
securing our representation in the legislative
bodies OF our own State, and points with evil
dent pride and satisfaction to the success he
achieved at that memorable time in prevent
ing that election By the aid Of Mai. Gen.
Emorys military; and travels out of his way
to insult the people Of the county by calling
them hard names: and charging them with
want of subserviency to him and his pro-
carnations. Not content with robbing us Of
our birthright, he denounced US as evil
minded, wicked and seditious people" because
we would not stand tamely and submit quietly
to the laTceny; and, now because we choose
to ask, through the legislative channels, to
have our proper State relations restored to us
and are unwilling to be subjected, either in
our persons or property, to the degrading
legislation Of West Virginia We
speak out Ike men against the absolute dis
reimbursement under which that legislation
puts US, we are pronounced ~ malcontcnts."
and held up to the learned pumpkin heads in
his General Assembly, as unfit associates,

ulate saints of his State, and worthy of no

"Late intelligence from the, Dry Tortugas

occupy one rooDa, and are apparently in good
health. They do the most mental aud degrad-

haved with exemplary propriety since his fall

striving to reinstate. himself IN the good opin-
