Action Of Conference.

In our issue of last week, we stated upon the
authority of the Baltimore Sun, that both the
change of the name from the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South to Episcopal Methodist
Church, :" and the admission of lay members
into the Conferences had been carried. This
was erroneous, lay representation was carried
by a sufficient number Of votes, but the change
of the name was not The Richmond Enquire,
says that ''the Baltimore Conference Nj. E..
Church South have cast unanimous vote in
favor Of Lay Representation and of changing
the Church name to Episcopal Methodist The
minority vote on Lay Delegation was previously
33 more than one-fourth of the whole vote, on
Lay Representation, and So more than one
fourth on the change of Church name. This
required 80 votes, clear, to carry the first, and
l59 votes to carry the second, under the requisi-
ton for three-fourth' majority The Baltimore
Conference voted on each, 104 yeas with nc
nays. This carries Lay delegation by .fre maj
ority in the vote of the whole Church. The
change of name is lost by IS. 1t is believed that
a conference in Illinois will join the Southern
Church with votes enough, if allowed, to over
come this and thus carry both measures, after
both had been given up for lost"

Southern Teacher INDICATED.

Miss Kate Edison, worthy and intelligent
lady of this county, is the Principal of select
school for young ladies in Lock Haven, Penn
sylvania AS she was from the South, the Re
publican, Radical paper published there, with
the view of injuring her school and exciting
prejudices against her, asserted that she de
nounced Gen. Winfield Scott as traitor to hi
country" and added ''that parents who will
send their children to school where such senti
ments are inculcated by the teacher, must be
either in sympathy with the worst rebel opin
ions and passions, or sadly misapprehend then
duty as parents.
Mr. d. Carskadden, who was chiefly instru
mental in obtaining her services as teacher
takes notice of the remarks of the Republican
and successfully vindicates her and places thu
brand of falsehood upon her asperser in the
following plain language:
''As [ was mainly instrumental in procuring
her valuable services for the position which sht
fills with such signal ability and acceptablenes
to her patrons feel it my duty to pronounce
this precious piece of information foolish anG
unmitigated falsehood, as can be established by
every pupil IN the ScnOOl capaDle OF giving teStl
mony. What miserable, pitiable, cowardly
creature must that man be who prostitutes hi
position as public journalist, in attempting
by such innuendoes, to bring into unfavorablt
notorety an unprotected female far away from
her home and friends and among strangers!
would not trouble you, Messrs Editors, for The
space in your paper to contradict this SANDER
if it's author was as we'll known and duly appre
ciated outside of town as he is in 1t, where eve
ry one seems to know his real value.

Drifting 70 National Repudiation.

We publish on the first page an interesting
article, containing an account OF an interview
with the President, in which he mentions strong
reasons showing that the policy Of the Radicals
is drifting the country to Reputation of the Ma
tional debt. As the Lynchburg Republican
truly says, lit is evident that the President full
ly understands the situation to which the coun-
try is reduced by the mad rule of Radicalism
and clearly foresees how sure and terrible will
be the reaction The people Of the South are
the sufferers now, but the very means which
have been adopted to degrade and ruin us will
ultimately result in the ruin and disgrace of the
Northern people. Before the war; the four
millions of slaves in the South furnished mil
lions on millions of dollars to the capital and
productive industry Of the country. Of this,
the North, through their manufactures, and
commission and importing merchants, reaped
millions of private and sectional wealth, and the
government reaped millions Of her revenue
This immense capital is all swept away by the
war The South is hopelessly bankrupt, and
her surplus productions will not be worth the
count, or pay the tax gatherer. In the place
of this real and productive wealth in the South
this much abused negro aristocracy there has
sprung up at the North an immense bonded
arlstocracy, consisting of those who own the
war securities of the United States. This wealth
Is, of course, unlike the wealth Of slavery, nom
productive, and is simply the evidence Of ma
tons indebtedness. 1t is owned by the few
and rich, and the many and the poor are taxed
every year one hundred and eighty millions of
dollars to pay the interest alone How long,
asks the President, will the laboring classes of
the country endure taxation and poverty, to pay
these rich holders their war gains?
Another significant view is presented by the
President. The Radicals, aided by these arts
tocratic bond holders, have placed the ballot in
the hands Of four millions of ignorant negroes.
These negroes will be just so many votes for
qepudidtion, as soon as these States are annex
ed to the Union again. They will become the
sport of the demagogue, and to escape taxation,
will be readily induced to strip the Northern
aristocracy of their rich legacy in Federal bonds
Having had no part in making the public debts
Of the several States, the votes of these negroes
will also be readily welded to secure repudia-
ton of all State debts These debts are mostly
held at the North, and the loss will be immense.
But they will have none to blame for this state
of things but their own folly and wickedness.
They have shamelessly disregarded the laws
and constitution of the land, and broken down
all the safeguards of liberty and property. It
would be strange if they did not reap the bitter
fruits of their folly"

From the Other Side.

"What," said Virginian in Washington,
the other day, to distinguished conservative
Senator-'What would you advise the South
to do?'' Do said he, in emphatic reply,
''Do? stand to their colors, and win the graft
tude Of Americans for all ages to come, by pre-
serving to the children of their opprcssors, some
remnant of the liberties once ours You can
gain nothing by surrender but hopeless ruin
Degrade yourselves, and the North will lose the
respect which you have heretofore commanded,
even from your bitter foes. Forswear your
manhood and betray the conservative party in
the Union, and your staunchest friends to-day
will be then your most eager prosecutors Dis
sension will rule within your borders, and fac
tons stand ready to welcome within your walls
the enemies who will press from without. You
will be ruled with rod of iron, and there will
be none in the wide world to regret that you
suffer fate justly purchased by your own faith

A Timely Effort to Prevent Reputation.

Mr.. Speaker Baldwin could not have en-
ployed his admitted talents more noby than in
his recent effort to drag up by the drowning
locks from the Slough of Despond the financial
honor of Virginia If he is successful in his eff
forts he will deservedly, in better times, be hon
ored as one of the benefactors of his generation
It this Legislature does not make some provis-
ion for the payment of portion of the interest
upon the public debt, it will be pilloried for
having completed the work of State humiliation
which Congress has commenced, by paving the
way for reputation. 1t will go forth branded
with the reproach of all who hold dear the hon
or of the State, and ladened with the curses of
impoverished widows, orphans and other help
less victims of Legislative imbecility and cri1ni-
nal weakness. -Ric1anaond Times.
A New York correspondent of the Mobile
Register, under date Of February, 25th, writes
1T is the opinion of the ablest Conservatives
in New York that the greatest danger to the
South at the present time comes from the SEEM
ing willingness Of so many leading men to COM
promise with Congress. The President is not
going to back down; he will insist on the South
getting Its rights; let the Southern people
stand firm and they will be saved But if they
show any sign of weakness, Congress will take
advantage of it to exact what no people can
grant without sacrificing their manhood
speak of the next Congress as well as of the
present one, for there is nothing more certain
than that the reconstruction question will be ag-
itated after the fourth of March almost as VIC
lently as it is agtated now

Ebb of the Tide.

At the recent State election in New Hamp-
shire the Radical majority was reduced from
five thousand to three thousand. In vote OF
81 900 the Radicals only carried the State by
5000. The same ratio of reduction would give
the conservatives majority of 10000 in New
York, 5000 in Pennsylvania, and sweep New
Jersey, Nebraska and Oregon. The people OF
the South should be of good cheer, they should
not yield to despair, for there are signs that the
destructive tide of Radicalism is about to ebb.
The ark of the constitution may find an Ararat
to rest upon sooner than we suppose. We are
now looking out with hope to see the return OF
the dove with the olive branch Of peace.

one hundred dollars, and by Imprisonment not

Judge Comstock on the Situation.


| The New York World publishes review of
the political situation, from the able pen of
Judge Comstock of the Supreme Court of APP
peals of New York, from which the following is
| an extract:
But the act (the military bill) has also a
look towards new constitution of civil govern
ment in the Southern States, and this demands
thoughtful attention What will the South
ern people do? According to my advice, they
will do absolutely nothing, except to go on with
their existing State governments, strengthen
and consolidate them, and render them more
and more effectual in the protection of life and
property and in the maintenance of law and Or
der They should do nothing because they are
not required to do anything. Congress, by the
very terms of the act, merely invites the South
to the feast OF universal negro suffrage, and
holds out representation in Congress as the
special alurement to overcome the hesitation
and repugnance which such invitation naturally
produces. But the Southern people may say :
On the whole, we decline the invitation, and
will stay out of Congress until our constitutions.
al right to representation shall be recognized:
Surely no one, not even the EXTREMIST Radical,
can complain of this attitude 1t simply ac-
cepts the situation which Congress itself has
made It is an attitude of obedience to the
law, and cannot be made even the pretext for
future aggression Congress says to the South,
Choose between the alternatives universal
negro suffrage, or misrepresentation. The
South replies, meekly and submissively: we
are grateful for the liberty of choice, and we
prefer representation. Can maignity it.
self find fault with this?
| But representation in Congress will come in
due time with the inevitable course of opinion
and events. 1t is constitutional right. So
exact and explicit is the Constitution on this
point that, if a State is peacefully in the Union,
its right of representation is conclusion which
has both the vividness and the rapidity of the
lightnings flash. Twenty -one States of the
Union are now represented in Congress, which,
by their Constitutions exclude negro suffrage.
How long, then, can this be made pretext for
excluding the South? 1t is now the only pre-
text. The smoke of the political contests of
the last year is rising, and we can see clearly,
we can see even in the very terms Of this mill
tary reconstruction bill, that universal suffrage,
substantially unknown at the North, is now the
very thing, and essentially the only thing, re-
quired at the South. No political party can
long maintain itself in this position. | repeat,
therefore, representation will come in due time.
1t will come as right and without conditions,
or else constitutional government, both at the
North and South, will slowly or rapidly recede
before the advancing march of despotism.
