lit will be remembered while reading
this statement of the liability of the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com
pany for arrears of taxes, that the
Auditor has furnished only the amount
levied for State purposes and for the
general school fund. The assessments
made in the several counties through
which the road passes, for county,
town and district purposes are not re-
turned to the Auditor; and those who
have taxes to pay know very well that
their State taxes are but a mere pit
lance compared with the taxes levied
for local objects. If a full exhibit
could be made, we doubt not the ag-
gregate for the years since the net rev.
enue of the road has reached per cent.
on its capital stock would reach the
handsome sum of $500, 900. In making
these remarks we cast no reflections on
our worthy Auditor, as he has furnished
all the information asked for by the reso-
luton, and we presume all that the
books in his office show.-EDs. INTEL

constitution. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE
PILLS cleanse the stomach OF all bilious or
mucous denominations and, by using the Sea

three remedies, all impurities are expelled

made, which will repel all disease. II pa

REPORT OF TIE COMMITTEE on CIRCUIT
2, BOUNDARIES AND pARsoNAGEs
We believe that the people have become re-
| concilcd to the present arrangement of their
Circuits and Boundaries, with the exception,
as far as ascertained, Of the churches of Bethel,
Zion and Il Station, formerly belonging to St.
Georges Circuit, and embracing about 40
white members, who arc destitute of ministc-
rial service, We recommend that the three
churches be embraced in the ST. Georges Cir
cult.
In regard to the, ParsonaScsl believe that
80 soon the people can be satisfied that the
present Circuits will be retained they will en-
ter heartily into the erection of Parsonagcs for
the comfort of the ministers and their families
and we so recommend.

POPULATION.
The Committee, OIL whom dcyolvcd the duty
OF reporting Interference to the coorcd people,
beg leave to present the following:
We regret that We arc compelled to state
from facts hat'havc come under our own oh.
Rscrvations ndircportcd by others, that there is
in the bounds ofour District Conference wide
spread and growing disaifcction evidenced by
this class of our population towards the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South. With the cx-
ccption of an occasional locality, they have
generally severed their connection with our
Church, and formed themselves into Associa-
tions, whose prevailing sentiment seems to be
Radicalism, instead Of the religion of Christ.
This change in their Church relations, aud
substitution ofpolitcs for religion, VIC deeply
.dcplorc, and would arrest if possible. But
your committee confess to a feeling of great
encouragement in this work We would not,
however, recommend a suspension of effort.
We would say to the officials of our Church
and especially to the Ministers, local and itinc-
rant, that wo should stillgestcmm it our impera-
tive. duty, to do what is in obr power to en-
Tighten and cave the colorcd people, whenever
ana wherever practlcaplc There are few
who arc still disposed to avail themselves of
our instruction, and by pcrscvcring efforts on
their behalf, their numbers may be gradually
augmented. 10 yield to despair, because of
formidable obstacles i'll the way of the discharge
OF duty, is not characteristic of the times, phil
anthropic or christian!
We therefore recommend for adoption by
this Body The following rcsolutions:
LIST. That as Church we arc MS much as
ever interested in the moral" wcll-bcing of the
coored population in our midst.
I'd. That we will not relax our efforts in
the use Of proper means to cnightcn their
mipds, and save their souls from death
All of which is respectfully submitted
t'M NJ. L. BANKS, Chairman
