LOCAL MATTERS.
THE STATE METHODIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL SOCIETY.
THIRD DAY-THURSDAY.

The Society met at A. Mr.. M. Smith,
vice-president, in the chair. Opened with
religious exercises by Rev. George Riyes,
who read the 46th Psalm, and engaged i'll
singing and prayer.
The minutes of the preceding meeting
were read and approved.
Dr.. Head, chairman Of the Committee on
Presidents Report, submitted the report OF
the committee asking to be discharged, as
they could not concur in the main recon-
mendation of the President on the sub
iect of general agent.
On motion of Rev. ?. A. Peterson, the re-
port was laid on the table for the present.
Rev. F. Nj. Edwards submitted report
in answer to the question, " What is the re-
lation of the family to the Sunday school,
and how shall parents aid in the work Of
Sunday-school Instruction."
On motion, the report was received and
adopted.
Rev. P. A. Peterson, having been re-
quested by the Executive Committee, sub
mitted an elaborate and well-digested essay
in reply to this question. The essay fully
reviews the whole subject, considering it in
all phases, and is considered as one Of the
ablest productions on this subject.
Rev. P. A. Peterson called up the com
mittee's report on the Presidents annual
report, and after some discussion offered
the following resolution:
" ReSoluod, That the report be recon-
mitted with instructions to report specific
ally on each of the recommendations Or
suggestions of the annual report"
Pending this resolution, I. L. Il. Young,
of Petersburg, offered the following resolu-
ton:
"ResoIued, That the Executive Commit
tee be authorized to procure a general
agent for this Society. In the event OF
failure to procure one otherwise, they are
hereby authorized to apply to the proper
authority of the Virginia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South for the
appointment of o suitable agent
This resolution brought up directly the
subject of the appointment of general
agent, and elected great deal OF discus
sion, which consumed nearly the whole
morning hour. The debate pro and con
was very interesting, and called forth the
talents of the following-named gentlemen
in some of their most eloquent efforts
Bishop Doggett, DR.. Head, DR.. Duncan, DR.
CRANBERRY, DR.. Langhorne, Rev. P. A. Pc
terson, Rev. w. G. Lumpkin, Rev. John &
Rowe, Williams 7. Davis, and Asa Snyder
The subject was fully canyassed and the
great Importance of general agent sel
forth by those who were we'll acquainted
with the wants of the Sunday school cause
and the need of an agent.
The Society then voted on the resolution
and it was adopted, thus endorsing the ap'
pointment of an agent, who will be put II
the field as soon as the Executive Committee
can procure suitable person.
On motion Of Rev. P. A. Peterson, it wai

THE SOUTHERN LEGISLATURES.
GEORGIA.

AUGUSTA, Ga, August 6.-The Legisla-
ture to-day elected the entire Republican
ticket of State officers.
A bill was presented providing for an
election to relieve the present military
appointed municipal officers of Augusta.
The Senate adopted, % to is, the MAORI
ty report of its Committee on Privileges
and Elections. The report states that by
Georgia law alone none Of the elections
were legally held, but that military tribu-
nails alone are proper to decide upon the
validity of military orders under which
they were held. The present Legislature,
though elected under this state Of affairs,
was, when organized, placed in possession
of the civil power Of the State, and the
wisest course it can pursue Is to consider
the order of General Meade final and con-
elusive as to the eligibility of its members
and on all other questions. In view OF all
the circumstances they recommend that 1t
be
RESOLVED, That General Order No. 9, OF
General Meade, relating to persons elected
to the Senate, be declared and held to be con-
elusive as to the rights of the persons
