A LIVELY SCENE IN a METHODIST
CONFERENCE

The New York Tribune, in its report OF
Tuesdays proceedings Of the New York
Methodist Episcopal Conference, says:
The Temperance committee, appointed TO
visit Albany last week, and sound the Le-
gislature, reported that nothing but the
power of money can effect modification
of the excise law in the Assembly, and that
Governor Fenton has so far committed
himself as to say "that law deserves a fair
trial" The announcement having been
applauded, clergyman introduced q reso-
luton requiring the Secretaries to call the
roll of delegates, and suggesting that each
delegate respond with either yea or no to a
total abstinence pledge. The resolution
awoke the sleepers; almost instantaneously
there was hutter all over the house, and
pressure towards the Bishops desk. Near
ly half Of the delegates were on their feet
at one time, and the aisles near the chancel
were thronged by clergymen, who were
yainly striving to get the ear of the presid-
ing oAieer. ~
At length the Rev. Mr.. Foster was heard,
and he said, with emphasis, that while he
had been all his life a Temperance man in
the strictest sense of the phrase, he would
resist the resolution which had been sprung
upon the Conference, and he did not hesi-
tate TO add that if the roll were called he
would record his name among those cler-
gyman who would refuse to be coerced into
taking pledge. The Rev. Charles Gorse
pressed the resolution; if delegates were
not sound to the core on the question of
total abstinence, he wanted to know il. Dr.
Fox characterized the calling of the roll as
an inquisitorial proceeding, and, therefore,
entered his protest. Other gentlemen in
dorsed the remark, and yet others demand
ed the calling Of the roll. But after re-
peated attempts to introduce amendments
the resolution was quashed, and delegates
we're invited to approach the Secretary's
desk and affix their signatures to several
total abstinence pledges which had been
provided. Father Bohlm, an octegenarian,
led with his signature The Conference
then, by rising vote, formally thanked
the metropolitan police commissioners for
their stern enforcement of the excise law.

REMARKABLE DISCLOSURES BY A
COUNTERFEITER.

The Solicitor f,.the United States treasu-
ry has recently received the detailed state
ment of Charles Ulrick, a native of Ger
many, made in the presence of Col. Wood,
chief of the secret service division of the
treasury department, and of Marshal Muir
ray, in the grand Jury room at New York,
about three weeks ago, relative to counter
ieiting. The statement of Ulrick was vol
untary. Ii will he recollected that he was
arrested by Col. Wood in Cincinnati, in
March last, charged with being a counter
feiter Of the national currency, and of haV-
ing counterfeit plates of various denomi-
nations in his possession.
Ulrick gives an interesting history of his
dealings with traders in counterfeit money,
and the names Of the principals for whom
he worked "a an engrayer and printer. In
response TO a question from Marshal Muir
ray, he said he had paid the New York
police detectives and the deputy marshals
as hush money, $4,000 in the aggregate,
besides altering stolen watches for them 50
as to destroy the identity of the time keep
ers. Ulrick acknowledges that he printed
from the $500 plate 500, 600 worth ofnOtes.
lie had intended to print two hundred of
the $500 plate, and if he had not been cap
tured that work,would have been completed
in ten or fifteen days. The plates are now
in the possession of the government, and
are remarkably well executed, and the notes
produced from them calculated TO deceive
even the most expert.
Commenting on Ulrick's revelations,
the New York Sun says:
Z" 1t may astonish people who are not ac-
quainted with these things, but if the
whole truth could be developed, showing
the full extent to which detective corrup-
ton extends, astonishment would be dis
placed by amazement. And these charges
concerning the counterleiters are only a
part of the series of charges to which our
detectives are amenable. 1t is a matter Of
common notoriety among those who under
stand the inner workings of the detective
department, that some of these officers
habitually compromise with criminals for
the return of stolen property. We might
mention special Cases-some Of the bond
robberies, for instance-in which the plain
est evidence Of compounding felony ap'
pears against the officers. There are,
doubtless, some good and honest men
among our detectives, but as a whole the
department is rotten to the core--fuli OF
corruption and rascality.'

From the Cincinnati Enquirer


Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, who is an
ardent Radical in politics, is ont in letter
endeayoring to explain the cause of the
defeat Of his party in Connecticut. de
admits frankly that the cause of the defeat
the change which made Connecticut a
Democratic from Radical State-is di-
rectly tracrable to the military despotism
bill. He says:
Now, il is true that the necessity and
exPediency Of this bill we're directly IN
issue in the election Of last Monday. A
majority Of our people-no matter under
what influences, no matter what mistaken
impression, no matter how much turned
aside by local or personal consideration
did, last Monday, cast their votes against
the blll, and MIR. English's majority of
nine hundred shows the exact preponder-
ance Of sentiment in Connecticut on that
day, in reference TO that particular mode
Of reconstruction"
This is honest and frank, and donbtless
tells the truth a. to the cause Of the result
AZ the last national election for members
Of Congress the Radicals had ten thousand
majority. They are now beaten nearly two
thousand on Congressmen-agAin Of twelve
thousand on ninety thousand votes polled.

VOLUNTARY ExTLES.

From the New Orleans Picayune, April L.
Over three hundred people sail from this
port to-day, on the steamer Marmion, for
Brazil. They are most of them from this
and neighboring States, and leave the coun-
try, voluntary exiles, forever. 1t is a sad
and sorrowful fact to record, but it is nev-
ertheless true. Furthermore, we under
stand that other vessels are to follow the
Marmion, with the same destination, and
that it is probable theySwill go out full of
emigrants. The feeling of discomfort, of
anxiety, Of dependency, runs higher than
eVer-higher even than Immediately after
the close of the war. That, fortunately.
was short lived, in consequence of the libe-
raj and magnanimous policy OF the Presi-
dent; the emigration was arrested, and
many of the exiles found their way ioyfullv
to their former home5. But, unfortunately,
the outward movement now going on can
not be similarly arrested. These people,
with whom we have conversed, are utterly
sick at heart; and when we tell them the
sorrows of exile from this land of their
birth, avow they would rather endure all
and more than all, the fancy can coniure
up, than longer to live here in doubt, anX-
iety and alarm.
They go into exile in far distant land,
where they will find everything conflicting
with their own ideas, manners and customs,
and where, except among themselves, they
will never hear the sound of their own
tongues, nor the chimes of their own Sab
bath bells. A more sorrowful emigration
is not recorded in history, and if anything
could touch the heart, ii is this.
Those who have left are mostly men OF
sinew and practical usefulness, accustomed
to the labors of frontier life, and the fami
lies of such. They are loss TO us, and a
great gain to the country whittier they go.
On the Goth proximo, another frst-class
steamer will sail hence for the same port,
under the auspices of the agent of Brazil,
Gen. d. Goicouria.

BOTHERING A WITNESS.

About twenty years ago, when Franklif
| Pierce and the present Senator Clark stood
at the head of the Hillsborough bar, in
| New Hampshire, there was upon the docke
celebrated suit called the "horse case. y
| This action was brought by Smith q Jones,
| livery stable keepers, against one White, 10
] recover the value of a pair of horses alleged
| TO have been killed by the defendant while
conveying an insane man to the asylum at
Concord. There was plenty of proof that
| the horses had died soon after their arrival
there; but the defendant took the ground that
they died of disease and not from being
overheated, and that sufficient time had
been allowed them to travel that distance
with ease Then it became necessary to
show the jury the time Of starting and the
time of arrival.
Many citizens were brought forward, and
among them tall, bony, slabsided, lanky,
sleepy looking fellow who ofiiciated as host
Ter at the stable. 1 give You the substance
of the examination:
"What time did you say it was when the
horses were driven to the stable?"
"Just as l was going TO dinner"
"What time was it when you went to din
ner the day before-by the clock?'
Just twelve"
"To minute, sir?"
Yes sir"
"What time was it when you went TO
dinner yesterday-by the clock?"
Just twelve"
"TO minute?"
Yes sir"
"What time did you goto dinner the day

"And what time did you go to dinner

"At twelVe?
"To minute, sir?'

"Now, sir, will you be good enough TO
tell the jury what time you went to dinner
three months before the last date-by the
clock?'
"At twelve"
+" To a minute, sir?
" Yes sir"
+" That is all, sir" replied the counsel,
with CLEAN of satisfaction on his face and
a glance at the jury, as much as to say,
"That man has settled his testimony"
And SO we all thought till, Just as he was
leaving the stand, he turned to his question
er and with curious, comical expression on
his face, and drawled out, "1Rdf ere clock
CaS out O. hlter and has stopped at ttpelue for
the last sir months" There was a general
roar in the gallery where sat. Mr.. Clark
sat down, and noticed that the Judge had
to use his handkerchief Just then.

PUNCH.s TRrBUTE TO MR.. FIELD.

The American Parliament has passed
resolution of thanks to Mr.. Cyrus Field
for having made the electric telegraph be-
tween England and the States, and
has ordered a gold medal to be struck
in honor Of Mr.. Fields single-hand-
ed feat. That is quite right Punch
would be the last man to deny that alone
Field did it." We are, not quite sure
whether he LET the water in the space called
the Atlantic ocean, but we know that he
invented electricity and telegraphy, and,
after years Of solitary experiments, per-
fected the cable which is now laid. He
carried it in his own oue-horse gig from
Greenwich to Ireland, and having previ-
ously constructed the machinery for pay
ing it ont, launched the Great Eastern by
his unaided efforts, lifted the rope on board,
and consigned it to the deep with his own
hands. Mr.. Field tied on the New Found
land end with great neatness, and then ran
on with the continuation, and never sat
down. nor even blew his nose, until he had
dispatched the first message. Therefore
the medal is his, and the reverse also. But
in concession to the ignorant preiudices OF
the world, might not just the most modest
space-say the rim-bear in faint letters
the names Of Osborne, Elliot, Anderson,
Canning, and one or two more, who stood
by, with their hands in their pockets, and
saw the smart Cyrus perform the herculean
