ANNUAL. MEETING OF THE GOUNG MEMS
CHRISTIAN ASSoCIATION-PRESID SNY-
DER's REPoRT.-We have obtained copy
of the address delivered by Mr.. Asa Sny-
der at the annual meeting Of the Young
Mems Christian Association on Tuesday
night, and regret that the unusual press
upon our columns prevents our puollshlng
it in full. After referring in an eloquent
manner to the causes which have hlndered
the work of the Association, he presents a
brief but lucid statement OF the history
of the society, its aims, and its results.
Organized in 1854, the membership OF the
Association steadily increased until 1864,
when its zenith was reached, the names OF
l.O64 members then appearing upon its
books. War, however, did its fell work,
and left the society with splendid library
of three thousand volumes reduced to
ashes. One month later it was rejuve-
mated with 2Sl members, and now 627
names are enrolled. The library numbers
2,lO4 volumes-l ,l04 having been added
during the past twelve months, and SS0S
having been collected for the improvement
of this department. The reading-room is
furnished with the leading United States
dailies and a number of English and
American magazines. The editors of the
Richmond Dispatch, Examiner, and Times,
are heartily thanked for free copies OF
their daily issues.
Seven lectures of high order of merit
have been delivered under the auspices of
the association. Daily prayer meetings
have been held since the occupation of the
new rooms, but little interest is reported
in the work. Sunday schools are held at
the Almshouse and Seamen's Bethel,
although there is great lack of male
teachers. At the former place there has
been an average attendance Of seventy
five, and the superintendent has much to
encourage him in his labor of love.
The treasurer's report, as quoted, shows
receipts to the amount Of Sl,632.95, and
disbursements to the same amount, while
an Indebtedness of about 5000 still exists.
A reduction of rent will greatly lessen the
expenses for the coming year.
Mr. Snyder's report closes with recon-
mendation of system OF weekly lectures,
and return of thanks to the members OF
the society who have aidS the president
in the discharge of his duty. The Asso-
citation have shown their appreciation OF
their presiding officer by his unanimous
reelection to the position which he has So
well filed during the past year.

AS distinguished as Mr.. Davis is
acknowledged to be as a statesman and
soldier, as severe as were the tests
by which his manhood and character
have been tried, no period of his his
tory has been so creditable to him as
that which began with the surrender
of Gen. Lee, and closed with his dis
charge on the 18th of the present
month. In all the trying scenes
through which he has passed, during
the last two years, he has neither, by
word or act, forfeited a particle Of the
confidence reposed in him.
He has shown himself worthy of
success by rising superior to defeat.
A single man contending with the
malice and almost demoniac hate of
millions Of his cOuntrymen, his con-
duct has been such as to extort praise
and admiration from the most invete-
rate of his enemies.

We copy from the Mobile Advertiser,
an account of the riot, resulting in
loss OF life, in that city, while Mr..
Kelly, Pennsylvania, was delivering
an inflammatory harangue to pro-
miscuous and excited crowd. These
scenes are the result of the efforts of
men of his class to win votes for their
party by arraying race against race in
the South. The character of their
speeches as reported, shows that they
have not come here to enlighten the
new voter as to his duties, nor to bind
together the broken fragments of the
Union by words of reason and concil-
iation, but to foment strife and to
arouse the demon passions of hate.
AS no good can possibly result from
the display of resentment which these
provocations will naturally produce,
but on the contrary, much harm, we
trust that our people will rule their
spirit and let the emissaries deliver
their harangues without interruption.

There is revolving condition Of
things in Tennessee. The negroes are
enfranchised. A large proportion Of
the white conservatives are disfran-
chised. A most stringent and in
famous law is in force, recognizing
conservatives as criminals to be pun
ished. Brownlow is Governor, and he
has a military force of thousands at
his command, all armed by the radical
Congress to secure radical triumph
in the State.-Louisyiile Journal.
Substitute the word Mississippi for
that of Tennessee in the foregoing,
and you will have a picture of the
condition of affairs here in two years
hence if our elective franchise at the
coming elections, and delegate to the
newly enfranchised voters the power
to act for them. Or if they refuse to
accede to the terms of Reconstruction
rendered by Congress, and await the
of more stringent con-
ditions.
