Interesting Statistical Figures from the
Conferences.

Interesting Statistical Figures from the
Conferences.
A careful compilation of the summaries of the
official statistical returns from the several
annual conferences of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the United States, exhibits a marvel.
lous progress during the past year. There are
sixty.eight annual conferences, an increase of
four over the previous year. This increase has
been obtained by extending the work in the
South. The new conferences organized are:-
Virginia and Nor b Carolina, Texas, Georgia,
and Alabama; and the records show the NUMBER
of travelling preachers, 1889, an increase
over last year of 4l3; local preachers,
la, ,763, an increase of 1I2,579. Ihe number OF
churches (houses of worship) is ll,l39 being
an increase tor the year of GIG; number of par
sonages, 1910, an increase of 256. The total
value OF these church edidces and parsonages is
S4l,Ol2, ,479, beng an increase for the year of
S6,9955I. The increase in parsonage property
alone is nearly million of dollars. OF the
centenary returns, full reports have not yet
been made, some OF them being retained by the
local committees for revision and completion,
but up 10 the 4th instant, thiTty.seven CON
feIenCes had reported total of S6, l4l ,027. The
returns from the remaining conferences will
swell this amount to over seven millions OF dol
lars. While there has been a falling off IN the
amounts raised Tor missions, the total bene-
VIOLENT contributions, exclusive of those for the
centenary cause, are in excess of those of any
previous year. The reports from the Sunday
Schools also show very encouraging advance,
There are over a million of pupils under the
supervision of about l75,000 officers and
teachers.

progress of the Church, by decades, from the

MONEY MAKES THE RADICAL
MARE GO.

At caucus OF the Radical members Of
Congress at Washington, on the 4th inst,
the following proceedings we're had
General Schenck made report of the
expenses of conducting the Southern cams
paign thus far, and the funds collected for
that purpose, showing that $40673 so had
been spent. He suggested that parties be
sent down to the conventions now in session,
TO see that they adopted the right kind of
constitutions. He recommended that the
committee have $4,000 raised immedi.
ately, to he spent during the winter and
spring.
judge Kelly agreed with General
Schenck, except as TO the amount to be
raised. He thought $4,000 would be no
more than enough for the great work that
was vet to be done.
Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, thought the Re-
publican party ought to buckle on its
armor for big fight this summer, and he
knew Of no better help than money to do
the work. Another thing that must be
done, was the removal of every Rebel now
in Office in the South. IL such men as
General Hancock we're TO rule the South,
there was no telling what it would lead TO.
| Congress must step in and put the Rebels
out IL the Generals wouldn't.
Senator Chandler said more had been
accomplished than he thought possible
with the amount of money expended
There was no use in talking. 1t was 9

The following from their resolutions india
Gates the ground they occupy
Resolved, That the people of Georgia &C.
cept in good faith the legitimate results Of
the late war, and renew the expression of
their allegiance TO the Union of the States,
and reiterate their determination to main
tain inviolable the constitution framed by
the fathers of the republic.
Resolved, That we protest, dispassionate.
ly yet firmly, against what is known as the
reconstruction acts of Congress, and against
the vindictive and partisan administration
Of those acts, as wrong in principle, OPP
pressive in action and ruinous to the peo-
pie Of the South, as we'll as hurtful to the
true welfare of every portion of our COM
mon country, and leading directly, if not
Intentionally, TO the permanent supremacy
of the negro race in all those States where
those laws are nov being enforced.
Resolved, That we protest, in like spirit
and manner, against the policy of the
dominant party in Congress, which seeks
p inhict upon the States of the South per-
manent bad government, as a wrong not
only 10 both races in the South, and to the
people Of all parts of the Union, but a
crime against civilization and humanity
which il is the duty of all right-minded
men everywhere 10 discountenance and
condemn.
Resolved, That We enter on record, in
the name and behalf Of the people of this
State, this, our solemn protest against the
assembling of a convention, which we
affirm with evidence before us, has been
ordered under pretense of votes which we're
illegally authorized, forcibiy procured,
fraudulently received, and falsely counted,
"a We believe. And, in view of the solemn
responsibilities OF the issues involved, we
do hereby declare that we will forever hold
the work Of framing a constitution by such
authority, with intent TO be forced by mill
lary power on the free people of this ancient
Commonwealth, as a crime against oul
people, against the continuance of free gov'
ernment against the peace OF society
against the purity of the bAllot-box, anC
against the dignity and character Of repre-
sentative institutions.
