ARREST OF FITZGERALD, THE MUIR.
DEFER OF NUNN.-The Goodman Star
of the 25th, contains the particulars OF
the arrest in Holmes county, of young
Fitzgerald, who murdered Mr. Num-,
a worthy citizen of Noxubee county,
recently, under circumstances of the
most atrocious character. Together
with him was arrested, his elder
brother, as his confessed accomplice.
The younger Fitzgerald acknowledged
himself the murderer ola person resi-
ding in Holmes, named Shilcutt, and
two negroes a short time before the
murder and robbery of Num-.
The precocity ofthis youth, in crime,
is most remarkable. The Star de-
scribes him as not "quite eighteen
''years old, and had face as smooth
las a girrs-possessing fine features.
"and as soft and kindly looking blue
"eye as you would wish to see"

The spirit ofPreaching.

That unearthly sermonizing Of Bax-
ter and Howe, so distracted from all
the temporal and secular interests of
man, so vigorously confined to human
guilt and human redemption that
preaching which upon the face of it
does not seem even to recognize that
man has any relations to this little ball
of earth; which takes him off the
planet entirely, and contamplates him
simply as sinner in the presence of
God; that preaching, so destitute of
all literary, scientific, economical, and
political elements and illusions, was
nevertheless one of the fertile causes
of progress of England and America.
Subtract it as one of the forces of Eng
fish history, and the career of the An
glo-SaXon race would be like that of
Italy and Spain.
Dare, my brethren, to work upon
this theory. Make and keep your SER
mons thoroughly evangelical in their
substantial matter. The temptations
are many, in the present age, to multi
ply topics, and to introduce themes
into the pulpit upon which Christ and
his disciples never preached. 1t is
enough that the disciple be as his mas
ter. And if the Son of God, possess
ing an infinite intelligence, and capa-
BILE of comprehending in his intuition
the whole abyss of truth, physical and
moral, natural and revealed, all art, all |
science, all beauty and all grandeur,
if the Son of God, the omniscient.
One, was nevertheless reticent regard
ing the vast universe of truth that Law
outside of the Christian scheme, and
confined himself to that range ofideas
which relate to sin and redemption,
then who are we that should venture
beyond his limits, and counteract his
example?
If the christian preacher would suf-
fuse his thoughts with that yearning
charity which st. Paul describes, let
lin live in the light of cross, let
lin feel the virtue of expatiatiDg blood
n his conscience The immediate
intuition of the great atonement arms
he preacher with a wonderful tender
less and power of entreaty. Other
doctrines are powerful, but this car
les him beyond himself, and fills him
nth deathless affection for God and
he soul of man, that seems madness
tself to the natural mind. Whit
eld's, Summerield's, and McChoyn's
lowing and seraphic fever were in
pired almost wholly by this single
ruth. And what a pathetic earnest
ess, and what a tender and gentle
ever mingled with the
Lrong 1ood-tide ofChalmers' emotion
fter that memorable sickness when he I
1t weeks upon the brink Of eternity, n
nd there, in the face of endless doom
I'D death, obtained the first clear,
aiming view of his dying Redeemer. 4

NASHVILLE, April Is.
The reverned Bishops of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, who
commence their annual meeting in this
city to-day, are James 0. Andrew,
John Early, 4. M. Marvin, Robert
Paine, George F. Pierce, ID. S. Dog

written first cannot be forgotten in
America so long as bigotry and intol-
erance, and hypocrisy, and avarice,
and dishonesty continue to pitch their
tents about the rear of the church
militant, and to keep Judas eye up
on her temperatures. He is man
of extraordinary meehness and kind
ness: yet, Yankee fanaticism and Gu
pidity selected him as pretext for a
most violent and rapacious attack,
ostensibly upon mote in a brothers.
eye, but really upon a bag Of gold in
his pocket. 1t will be remembered
that the Northern methodists could
proceed no farther in his company, be-
cause he married, some time prior to
1874, a lady who possessed a few
slaves. To keep up appearances, and
hide their real purposes, they agreed
with the representatives of Methodism
in the South upon plan desperation.
Afterwards they sought to keep to
themselves the chief property of the
church, created by contributions Of
Southern as well as Northern Metho-
dists. Their Southern brethren
sought remedy in the Fedral courts
and obtained an equitable division.
Some leading Southern Methodists
have proposed, since the end Of the
civil war, to drop the word & South, 4
in the title of their church; and ma
jority of the last General Conference
sustained the proposition. The final
decision of the matter, however, was
left to the annual conferences. The
result of this vote has not long been
fully ascertained 1t shows, now that
all the conferences have been officially
reported an overwhelming majority
against the change. There are twenty
seven Of these Southern Conferences.
The votes cast are 1,577, of which
1,168 were for retaining the defnitive
word "South," leaving the slender
minority of 409for dropping it. Sew
eral of those conferences which have
the best opportunity to know the aims
and ends of, Northern Methodist
preachers, and who, therefore, under
stand the necessity of some plain,
mark, voted unanimously
against a change Of name-for exam.

How GRACE Shows ITsELF.-The
roots of plants are hid under ground,
so that they themselves are not seen /;
but they appear in their branches,
flowers and fruit, which argue there is
a root and life in them. Thus the
graces of the spirit planted in the soul,
though themselves invisible, yet dis
cover their being and life in the track
of a Christians life, his words, his
actions, and the frame of his carriage.

AS many Of our people entertain
doubts that the South will not be re-
stored to representation and be re-
lieved Of military rule, in the event OF
their compliance with the terms of the
Reconstruction Bills, we will again
call their attention to- the letter of
Senator Sherman, the author of the
scheme:
My earnest conviction is, that the
South should not forego this opportu-
nifty to be restored to representation /;
and you may rely upon it, that q ma
jority of both Houses will adhere to
this offer, and execute it in good faith,
and to the letter, if your people will
do likewise. Neither section can be
prosperous while the present condi-
ton Of military surveillance prevails.

The Great End Of Living.

n reading an obituary notice OF Mrs
rgaret Maltby, wife of Rev. John
III 1ltby, of Bangor, we were forcibly
svlack with remark Of her father,
Rev. William jackson, ID. d., of Dover
VT After she was married, and was
about to leave her fathers house, he
SAID, "Now Margaret, | want you to
remember this one thing-All you can
get out of life Is usefulness"
This is a living truth worthy OF
being engraved on every heart. Its
pratical influence must be highly salu-
tary. 1t will keep constantly before
the mind the great end of living. 1t
is not the great design of God in pla-
cling us in this world, to give us an
opportunity of gratifying our animal
appetites. Such pleasures never sat
isfy, and always end in pain. tits not
the design of God that we should live
for the sake of amassing wealth. This
passion can never be gratified. 1t
rises in its demands by every new ac-
QUESTION. 1t never has enough. The
indulgence of this passion is PERM
cious. 1t is idolatry.
1t is notpart of the design of God in
placing us in this world, that we should
seek after worldly greatness. The in
diligence of this desire is contrary to
the spirit of the Gospel. 1t is also in
yariably attended with cares and per-
plexities 1t is something In anticipa-
ton; but nothing in frution. But he
who lives to do good, or to be useful
has a present satisfaction which no
purely worldly pursuits ever affords.
If, like his master, he goes about do
ing good, or does all things for the
glory of God, he has q peace, which the
world can never give or take away.
Great peace have they which love thy
law. But all the good effects OF a life
of usefulness are not confined to this
world. Whateveris done for the sake
of doing good, will in nowise lose it's
reward. The smallest thing done from
this motive will be remembered in the
day of judgment. A cup of cold water
cannot be given to disciple withoutt
receiving it's appropriate reward. LIE
then the wise saying of DR.. jackson to
his daughter be remembered "All
you can get out of life is usefulness"

RELIGIOUS SERVICE IN PARIS DURING
THE ExPosITIoN-There will be an i'm
mense gathering of strangers in Paris
from all parts of Europe and of the
world. We are glad to see that pro
vision is to be made for the spiritual
wants of this great multitude. An
English correspondent writes that the
Bishop of London has called for large
sums, which will be amply supplied,
for providing preaching in Paris du-
ring the great exhibition. Mr. Spur
geon has secured a large building for
the same purpose. Other dissenters
will occupy other space. Thus Prot
estants of different nations-English,
Scotch and Irish, and Americans. will
be provided with places of worship.
What matter of surprise and rejoic
ing it would be, if this gathering ofthe
nations should witness scenes like
those on the day of Pentecosst New
York Observer.
