If men would think charitably of each other

If men would think charitably of each other
if each man would give every other man credit
for being as honest himself, migh look for
better state of things than the signs of the times
portend; we ight anticipate at an early day a
subsistence ofthe angry aud dangerous storm that
now seems gathering to whelm Us in anarchy and
national ruin. Then would cease the chickering's
the criminations and recriminations that now fan
the flames of sectional hatred and mar the fair
visage of public peace.-Rutejgh Mder.
That's so, but some show the rascal so
plain that it is impossible TO think charitab!y of
them However. it would be better for all to be
more charitable than they and chickering's and
elimination and recrimination ought to cease, at
least until we get through national difficulties
IF one man thinks smother dishonest it is not ac-
tually necessary to publish it to the world or
raise great fuss about it. Let the good seek to
improve the bad by correct example and pFu-
dent, moderate counsel. The people of the South
will not make much by quarrelling with each other

LOOK OUT.-A number of young men we're

- Ex-PREsIDENT DAvIs.-Letter writers for
Northern papers differ to what is to be done
with Mr. Davis. Some say that he will be re-
leased oil bail this Fall without being tried, whilst
others declare that he will soon be brought to
trial. A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Fortress Monroe says:
''Mr L. II. Chandler. u. S. District Attorney
for the District, and, by virtue of holding this
position, the prosecuting attorney against j eff
Davis, in the trial of the latter set down for next
ington. to arrange the programme of the trial on
behalf of the Government. in case it is decided to
try him on the indictment presented by the Grand
Jury of the United States Circuit Court of Vir-
gna, and pursuant to the adjournment Of the
court at its last session. From what can learn
from Mr. Chandler and other sources the question
OF the trial is at present involved in a good deal
OF mystery. The preponderatng belief indeed
is that there will be no trial; that Mr. Davis at
the coming session of the court will be admitted
to bail, to appear at such time he may be
called for, and that this will be the end of the
whole affair. Others assert that between now
and the appointed tins of trial Mr. Davis will be
either specially pardoned by the President, or
the same result accomplished by general am
nesty proclamation embracing him and all re-
naming unpardoned rebels of the late
AS for Mr. Davis himself am most positively
and authoriatively assured that he desires
interposition of Executive clemency in his behalf,
but speedy, full and impartial trial. and that he

THE METHODIST CHURcH.-The Methodists
of Richmond, Va, have adopted the following
resolutions
"Whereas, The General Conference of the
Methodist E. Church, South, at its late session
held in the city of New Orleans, did, with great
unanimity, adopt plan for the introduction
of the laity representation 10 the Annual and
General Conferences Of the Church, and did Or
der that the same should be submitted to the
several Annual Conferences for three fourths
concurrence, that it might become the tar of
the church, we, the members Of the Trinity
Station, in the city of Richmond, Virginia Con-
ference, in the regular church meeting assem-
bled do hereby wish to express our views and
sentiments upon this great question; therefore,
Resolved, That we hereby express the earn
est wish, that the several Annual Conferences
at their approaching sessions, may give the re-
quired three -tourths vote in order to make the
ptan proposed by the General Conference the
law of our Church
Resolved, That, in our judgment, the failure
Of the Annual Conferences to adopt the plan,
which has received the sanction of the General
Conference, would be followed by sad and disas
trous consequences to Methodism iE these
Southern States
Resolved, That we cordially approve of the
change proposed in the name of our church,
substituting Episcopal Methodist Church, for
Methodist Episcopal Church. South, and hope
that it may be the pleasure of the several An
nual Conferences to sanction the change by the
required vote.

cedar, very thin. about two and half feet

strip is backed or lined with one of white

tightly glued together. To bend these when
dry is to snap them, but on the approach
of bad weather the cedar curlS over until
at times il touches the ground.
