TINKER ORDINAHcE.--Someo of the proceed
ings of the immense meeting of the Thinkers,
which lately took place at Prices Church,
near Waynesboro, are Of an interesting char
acter. Several buck negroes being admitted
into the church as members, the question
arose in regard to the usual salutation, whether
1t was to be carried out with regard TO their
colorcd brethren on meeting them. Our read
or are all aware, no doubt, that il is the uni
versal custom among the Thinkers of the male
sex to salute each other with a kiss upon meet
ing. This was the question that now sprung
up, on the admission of. the African membars,
and it found warm opposition, but was finally
carried triumphantly. The question was set
tied that it was q religious duty to salute all
their brethren, no matter whether they be
black or white, and the white brethren were
instructed upon meeting with eolored one,
provided they could do so consistently, to
make the FIRST advance, and then if the col
ored member should refuse to be kissed, he
was not bound 70 insist upon the honor of inn
printing the kiss upon his lips. The white
brother was simply to fulfil his duiy--nothing
more ageystown Null.

! Mr.. EDITOR The absorbing and vital ques,
tions to be presented for the consideration Of
the next Congress, requires more than the
usual care in the selection of our Representa-
tiyes. The writer, feeling the Importance Of
this subject to the whole people of the 9TH
Congressional District, would suggest the
name OF w. VEIRs BoUrc, ESQ.,, ofMontgomery
county, as a man in every respect qualified to
discharge the important trust. His ac-
knowledged ability, frmness, and fidelity to
the interests of the people, point him out as
ono in whom all can have the fullest conf
dence Without detracting in the least from
the distinguished merit Of our present Repre-
sentative, or the fitness Of others whose names
have been mentioned in this connection, the
claims Of Montgomery, and the choice of her
indomitahle Democracy, land none better or
truer can be found in this or any other State)
will hardly be overlooked by the other coun-
ties of the District. SENECA.

The WAY THE South Is MIsREpREsExTED.-
Senator Trumbull, some days since, made
something Of q stir upon petition said to be
from Augusta county, Va, asking for the re-
turn Of federal soldiers there, to keep peace
and order. The Hon. A. H. Fl. Stuart, M G.
elect from that district, never having heard Of
any such petition there, sent to Congress for
copy, but none was allowed to go to him.
Finally, however, one was got, and most Of
the signatures were found to be forgeries.--
Mr., Stuart says;
has had the candor to acknowledge that he
signed it, and that be did so because he had
found the United States troops profitable Gus
toners when they were here before, and he
thought if they were sent back, they would
enlarge his mafkeffor bread. Probably 9TH
ers were Influenced by motives equally patri-
otto and disin.erested.n

WIFE MURDER IN DELAwARR.-A murder
almost as revolving in some of its details as
that Of the Deering family has just come TO
light at Mount Pleasant, Delaware. The
murderer is one A. p. Armstrong, thrifty
farmer in that neighborhood, and his wife the
victim. This couple had not lived happily
for several years, and their disagreements
were the frequent cause Of her absenting her
self from home for several days at a time.
Owing to this habit the murder, which il now
seems was committed on Saturday, the 10th
ult., was not discovered, or even suspected,
until Sunday the 9th. Her absence and the
fact that none of her friends with whom she
usually stayed when away from home knew
of her whereabouts attracted the attention Of
the neighbors, and led to a questioning OF Mr..
Armstrong, whose answers only seemed to
confirm their suspicious offoul play. Accord
ingly general search was instituted, in
which the brutal husband assumed to take
leading part. Parties scattered in all direc-
tons, and searched closely every spot where
the missing woman might possibly be con-
cealed, gradually contracting their search to-
ward the house
The first evidence they discovered was some
loose dirt in one Of the stalls Of the stable.
This Mr.. A. explained by saying that he had
recently filled up q hole in the STALL The
party, not satisfied with the explanation,
began digging, and soon exhumed large
quantity of the missing woman's clothes.
The husband was Immediately taken in Gus
tody, and the interest in the search for the
woman increased. Some persons passing the
hog pen discovered traces of fresh dirt, and
Immediately the floor of the pen was torn up,
when part Of foot appeared. The monster
had dug hole under the pen, thrown his
victim head foremost into IT. and covered her
over with the filth Of the pen. In his haste he
had not entirely buried. his victim, and thus
was revealed the results of bis crime. The
woman was found in a nearly nude state, her
| skull crushed and stab inflicted in her back
and breast She left twin infants only four
months old. The h4rdihood Of man who
could remain quietly at home after having
committed deed so diabolical seems increc-
ible. Even Probst, after the first few hours,
seemed anxious to quit the scene Of his male
| faction. - Cecil Democrat

TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS The United
States Circuit Court met al Richmond, Va,
with view, as it is supposed, of trying
JEFFERSON DAVIS for treason Judge UNDER
wooD, a straggling Yankee sch oolmaster, who,
in the confusion and misery the late horrible
war, was foisted into the bench Of the Circuit
Court OF Virginia, presided, and addressed
the Grand Jury in his usual indecent, bully
ing and vindictive manner. The reason why
Chief Justice CHASE does not attend, is sup
posed TO be that he is fully committed 10 the
same views of State-Rights, for which Mr..
Davis is to be tried for his life.
Messrs. REED, of Philadelphia, BRADY, Of
New York, and BRowS, whose residence we
do not know, appeared as counsel for MI.
Davis, and it is understood that CHARLES
O'CoExER, of New York, one of the most
eminent lawyers of the country, is also en-
gagged or the same side.
Mr.. Reed addressed the Court, and stated
that he found on the records an indictment
against Jefferson Davis for treason, and asked
q Is il TO be tried7 Is it to be withdrawn?
or is it to be suspended If it is to be tried,
speaking for my colleagues and for myself,
and for the absent client, Isay with emphasis,
and say it with earnestness, that we came
here prepared instantly to try that case, and
We shall ask no delay at your Honor's hands,
farther than is necessary to bring the prisoner
to face the Court, and to enable him, under
the statute, in such cases made and provided,
to examine the bill of indictment against him.
We ask speedy trial on any charge that may
be brought against Mr.. Davis, here, or in any
other tribunal in the land. We may be now
here representing dying man. For thirteen
months he has been in prison. The Constitu-
ton guarantees to him not only fair and
impartial trial, but a speedy one, and we
have come, in all sincerity, 10 ask what dis
position is to be made with the bill Of indict-
mcnt against Jefferson Davis, now pending
for high treason?'
[Since the above wasin type, we learn that,
at the request Of the Government, the trial of
Mr.. Davis, at Richmond, has been postponed
until the first Tuesday in october.1
