To Commemorative keep standing at
the head of our editorial column, notice to cor
respondents, informing them, that no notice
will be paid to any communication, unless the
name Of the author accompany it; and yet this
ruls is in vast number Of cases disregarded,
and we are weekly receiving articles for inser-
ton, signed IA Subscriber" ga Friend" &c.
This is positively against the rule above men
toned, which rule will in no instance be depar-
ted from. We frequently receive communica-
tions possessing some merit, which we would be
glad to publish, but for want OF the real namo
of the writer, they cannot appear We will re-
peat here, what our standing notice every week
makes known, that no notice will be taken of
any communication, unless the real ma me of the
writer accompany it, and this rule applies to,
and will be enforced strictly, in all cases, no
mattel whether the article sent for publication be
prose or poetry, well written or badly written,
important or unimportnnt, valuable or vslueess.
We hope correspondents will bear this in mind,
and act accordingly. Wedon't see what objecs
any author can have in refusing his or her name
to the proprietor of newspaper, as the real name
is not given to the public but when writer's
make up their minds TO conceal their names from
the printer, they had just as well keep their COM

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE. This
body, which met at Wliamsport, Pa. on the
7th Of the present month, adjourned finally on
the 18th, after session of six days. The next
conference is to meet at Frederick City, in this

A. Mckee and T. E. Church West Hartford
William NJ. Meminger, John W. Smith, and one
to be supplied Havre de Grace-George W
Heyde We regret to see by the proceedings of
the Conference that the Rev. E. Kinsey the
popular minister in charge of this Circuit
for the last three years, has been transferred to
Cumberland. His several congregations and
numerous friends other than members of his
church, will much regret this decree of the Con-
ference. Since his stay among Us, his deport-
ment as minister of the Gospel and gentle
man, has commanded, and we believe received,
the respect and esteem of all well meaning per-
sons who have in any manner come in contact
with him.

The following is the vote i'll The United States
Senate, on the attempt to pass the negro Bureau
bill oyer the Presidents veto. BY this vote it
will be seen that ont Of the tbirty-sx Abolition
Senators voting, there were but six WI o voted
to sustain the veto, and thirty against it, and a..
of course in favor of the bin, while every Demo-
cratic Senator, except Mr.. Wright, of New Jer-
sey, (who was not present at the time the vote
was taken, voted to sustain tie veto, and con-
sequently against this radical negro project. Mr..
Foot Abolitionist of Vermont, was also absent;
had he and Mr.. Wrigh. been present. the vote
would have stood thirty-one to nineteen. Those
who are properly denominated below as enemies
Of the Government are those who voted for the
passage Of the bill over the Presidents veto, and
those referred to as friends of the Government,
are such rs voted in favor of the veto. So that
out Of thirty-seven- Abolitionists in the Senate,
thjrty-one of them are of what is termed radicals,
and only six of them are denominated conserva-
tves. The following is the vote:

PRoPERTY REsToRED.-We learn from the St.
Mary's Gazette, that the estate of Col. John Fl.
Sothoron, in St. Mary's county, $50 long held
by the Freedmers Bureau ms government farm,
has been restored TO the family Of the owner, by
the order of President Johnson"
1t will be recollected that in the early part of
the war, Col Sothoron had difficulty with n
Federal officer who was making mn attempt to
carry of some of the ColoneIs negroes, which
resulted in the shooting of the officer. Colonel
Sothoron then made his way to Richmond, and
his property was then taken charge of for the
purposes mentioned. Col. Sohoron was n
prominent man in his county, having represent
ed her people in both branches of the Legislature
of the State.

Losses AND MARINE RlsKs.-The
past year including tire winter just closed
will be held memorable in insurance an.
mails, for losses of every kind in land and
marine risks. Good underwriting au-
,hori'ies estimate the grand total Of as
easements upon the insurance companies
at from City to seventy millions Of dol
lars. In January, S7,000,0OO in values
we're wiped out BY CONGREGATIONS, ard
S5,000,000 more in February These
are Of cases of loss exceeding $20,000.-
Those under that amount will carry the
loss to S15,000,000. 1t is estimated that
the marine losses in the same period, on
the ocean and rivers, were $4,000, 600, a
heavy assessment indeed for two months.
1t is gale of disaster that will test all
the strong companies and bring down the
weak ones.

The DEMOCRACY OF PENNSYLVANIA Through
out the State the greatest enthusiasm prevails
among the Democracy, over the nomination OF
Hester Clymer. for Governor of the Common
wealth. Meetings are being constantly held and
resolutions passed, endorsing the nomination,
and the doctrine set forth in the Presidents veto
message on the Freedmen's Bureau bill, and his
reconstruction policy declaring this a white
mans government, and denouncipg the doctrine
OF negro suffrage, and charging that its friends
are not only the enemies of the government but
OF the white race; and that the Democratic par

REPUBLl CAN NOMINATION The Republicans 0
Pennsylvania have nominated John W. Geary,
of Kansas notoriety, for Governor. This man,
like most of his party, pants for the spos of Of
fee. John was at one time a pretended active
Dem ocrat, but in ls54-5, when Know Nothing
ism sprung into being, and promised to carry
everything before it, this plant nominee was
among the first to become member, and on its
fall or surrender to the Republicans, he attached
himself to that organization, and has by it been
rewarded with the Republican nomination for
the executive chair of the Key Stone State. If
he could have had his way in 1876, says the
Lock Haven Democrat, not single foreigner or
Catholic would to-day have the right to vote,
nor would one of these have any thing to say as
to whether Hester Clymer or John w. Geary
should be Governor. Geary, like the party that
nominated him, is radical Abcltionist, and,
like them, ia favor of negro equality. Bat it
matters hut little what he is for, or what he is
against, he will never be more than candidate
for Governor any way.

SOMETHING NEw.-We call attention TO the
advertisement of the Dnplex Elliptic or double
Spring Skirt. Though a recent invention, it
has become very popular, and is rapidly obtain
ing the preference over other kinds in use. The
rods in it are composed each of two delicate and
well-tempered steel springs, which are ingenious
ly braided together edge TO edge, the lower rods
beaver, and having double covering This
popularity of construction makes this skirt very
strong and durable and also exceedingly flexible,
that it rapidly adapts itself to the form of the
wearer, and allows of any amount of doubling
and crushing without injury to It's shape These
skirts are unquestionably the lightest, most de-
sirble, comfortable and economical ever made
These are advantages which ladies, who
have experienced the discomfort and inconveni.
ence of single springs, will duly appreciate.

Afraid of the Dead.

The Independent continues 10 hammer
with GouOlc-leaded type, and With un-
abated vigor against the Presidents poll
cy of reconstruction. 1t is rather curious
to observe the difference of tcne between
the distressed aud alarmed editorial and
the cheerful and satisfied spirit Of Mr..
Beecher's sermon on previous page
The latter gives one Of his characteristic,
and certainly very funny, illustrations Of
that sort of vigilance which watches l:eea-
~ to guard against danger which is
past:
Il have an etching at home which rep
resunts boar-hunt in Northern forest.
Prominent in the picture is huge boar
which the hunters have killed. He lies
on the ground, and by his side are two
huge mastiffs. The boar is euceedmg'y
dead. He is dead in the eye, dead in the
car, dead il the snout, dead in the legs.
And yet one Of tue old inastiis sits look
ing at him as much as if to say, Il would
not believe, thuugh an angel were to af.
firm it, that you were dead ! The other
nastif lies on the snow at n little dis.
;ance, with bis nose on his paws, as if be
would s!cep bnt one eye is open, IS
much as to sly, Il am Watching!
'And there is mauy uian now that is

his paws, watching slavery ! For, al
though it is dead--deal in the eyes, dead
in the ears, dead in the snout, dead in
the legs, dead everywhere, inside and out
they 90 not believe it. (Laughttr.)
Watch, ma>titfs, watch ; but there is no
resurrection for slavery When dangers
come, then up, out, and at them but,
until they come, hope is better than de-
spondency. Until then, courage is better
than this everlasting suspicion and dis.

The COTTON SUppLY.-There have
been various conflicting estimates in the
Southern journals of the probable cotton
supply from the coming crop, varying
from 100000 to 100000 bales. The
growth Of cotton this year depends on
many contingencies, and in making any
estimate of the probable amount that will
be raised, the comparative poverty of the
planters and the scarcity Of labor must
enter largely into the calculation. The
Secretary Of the Treasury estimates the
average annual supply for 1866 and 7
in the United States, at about 100000
bales the New Orleans cotton factors
generally agree in estimating the coming
crop at, 100000 bales but the Nation
al hteitigencer publishes letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury from Louisi-
and planter, Of As years. experience, who
expresses the belief that scarcely 1,000,-
600 bales will be raised this year in the
entire South. At this cary period it is
extremely difficult to procure any data
from which reliable estimate Of the crop
can he made.
