IMPORTANT CHURCH CASE DE.
CHDED

When the Southern separation from
the Methodist Episcopal Church took
place, the courts not only transferred all
the church property in those States to
the Methodist Church South" but allot>
ted to them g pro rata share Of the enor =
nous fund in the Book Concern. Since
the rebellion o case has arisen in Virginia
of some interest. DR.. Lanahan, now one
of the book agents in New York, was in
1865 a presiding elder Of Winchester
(Va.) district, and, in pursuance of
regular appointment, was in the pulpit Of
the church at Winchester on Sunday
morning. While waiting for the time to
open the service, Rev. NorVal Wilson, Of
the Church South, entered and took
possession, and conducted the meeting,
announcing that he would do so twice
each Sunday thereafter. DIR. Lsnahan
stated to the congregation that, for the
sake of order, he had submitted to the
intrusion.
The church has since remained in pos
session OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and Mr.. Wilson and his friends
have prosecuted suit for the recovery
of the property, which had been in their
hands from 1874 to the beginning Of the
rebellion. The case was finally decided
last week by Judge Parker, in favor Of
the present occupants. His decision is
based upon the deed Of conveyance,
which recites tuat the property was con-
veyed to trustees for the benefit of ''the
congregation of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the town Of Winchester and
vicinity" The amount of property in
dispute was about twenty>four thousand
dollars. The judge DEGREES that the bill
of the plaintiffs Church South be dis
missed, This is one of several decisions
of like import recently made in Virginia
and Maryland, all of them in favor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.-Aeao

Banks-singuiar Coincidence.
On Monday last an old and respectable
looking man called upon the firm OF
Messrs. Tapp, Walsh & Berry, of this
city, introducing himselfas z. s. Morgan,
q farmer from Hartford, Conn. He pro-
dueed letter of recommendation from
the firm Of Anthony & Hall, OF New
York, and requested Mr.. Tapp to intro
duce and Vouch for him at the Mer-
chants Bank, as he desired to get q
check of 81, SEQ cashed. The check was
drawn. by the Union National Bank Of
WOonsocket, Rhode Island, on the Suf-
folk National Bank, of Boston.
Mr.. Tapp informed the strange old gen,
tlsman that he did not recognize the
signature Of Messrs. Anthony & Hall
but would introduce him at the Mer-
chants Bank, where he would no doubt
be able to establish the name Of the firm,
and get the check cashed. He was &C
cordingly taken to the bank by Mr.. Tapp ;
but they declined eashing the check, and
Mr.. Morgan left it, promising to call again
in few days. In the meantime, Mr..
Tapp telegrsphed to the firm of Anthony
& Hall, in New York, and yesterday re-
csiVed telegram in reply, stating that
they knew no such man as r. s. Morgan,
aud that the letter referred to was . base
forgery. This, of course, settled Mr..
Morgsn's hash.
What is particularly strange about this
bold attempt at swindling is the fact that
the same game was tried at Memphis, on
last Friday, as We learn from the Ara-
ldnche of that city.-LOuisUile Demo

OBLIGATION OF PERURIANS IN
RROWNLOW'S DOMINIONs.

The Knoxville Press and Herald OF
yesterday says:
The train from the East which arrived
in Knoxville at noon yesterday, con-
tanned as passengers about fifty Peru~
yians, who had left Lima about the mid>
die of November and arrived in New
York on Sunday They were in en- route
for New Orleans under orders from the
Peruvian government to constitute the
crew of one Of the iron clads lately pur-
chased from our government by Peru,
and at present lying off New Orleans
There were ten officers among the party.
The Peruvians were of swarthy cons
plexion and of medium stature. Two Of
them could converse slightly in English,
the rest being in total ignorance of our
language. They were, after leaving Bris'
tol, inclined to transgress the rules gov
erning American citizens in railroad
cars, by smoking. Those who persisted
In that use of the weed were finally in
duced to retire into the smoking car. A
number of ladies entering the ear at u
station were for while unable to
obtain seats, the swarthy strangers SEEM
Ing entirely oblivious of the courtesy
which is the inherent right Of the fair
sex in North America. BY signs and
gestures the suave conductor, Harry
LYLE, induced them to practice their first
lesson in graceful Difference to the ladies
and they retired good-humOredly to the
company of the smokers, where they no
doubt interchanged opinions regarding
the difference in customs and manners
between their own people and our BAR
barous nation. They left on the Chatta-
nooga train at one o'clock.

MIsCEGENArIoN IN KNOxvILLE. :

In the misdemeanor court at Knoxville
the other day. the first case called was
that of the State Us. John and Maria
Gadshaw for lewdness. The Press and
Herald editor was an eye witness to the
trial, and thus refers to the appearance of
the parties, and the facts in the case:
The male offender was rather an odd
looking specimen of the genus homo.
His forehead, retreating on conyerging
Ines, presented somewhat the appear
ance of smoothing iron. He had a
,way~backed nose, well sharpened at the
point, which glistened as if it had been
polished by roofing for gOober peas in
the sand>hills of South Carolina. His
mouth was strikingly suggestive of green
persimmons, while his jaws were admira-
bly, set for cracking hickory-nuts, or IN
heading ten-penny nails. His gray locks
indicated an age Of about tifty>fiye years,
vet his little bullet-eyes had most vii
lainously miscegenating twinkle. OF
course he said he was "not guilty" His
co-defendant uncovered herself and re-
vealed a flfty>year old, dilapidated coun-
tenance, whose description is fully and
graphically given when we say IL acdS jet
OIH
Here was a genuine case of miscegena-
tion-one that would have tenderly
touched the gushing heart Of Greeley, and
secured at once from Gov. Pearne the
religious assurance of an immediate par
don-had they been present. The facts
of the case developed degree of besti-
atty rarely met with even in the crimi-
nal courts. According to the previous
1 confessions of Gadshaw himself, he and
the woman some two or three years ago,
came from South Carolina. She was
formerly his slave, and while she was
vet in a state of bondage, they lived to-
gether in South Carolina as man and
wife. After the emancipation of the
slaves, he says they were regularly mar
ried, but by what agent of the freedS
mems bureau, was not stated. Not finds
ing the atmosphere OF South Carolina
well suited to their condition in life, they
concluded to try the pure, loyal air Of
East Tennessee, and here, in Knox
county, they have been living as man
and wife. 1t was insisted in their behalf
that, having been united in the holy
bonds of wedlock under the civil rights
bill and in South Carolina, they were
entitled to enjoy the rare luxury in Ten,
nessee, or in any other State. His Honor
couldn't see it. They were convicted
and fined fifty dollars and the costs. The
only fault we nave to find with the res
suit is that the court did not send the
hoary headed old miscegenator to prison
for the full term allowed by law.

EAST TENNESSEE CORN CROP =
SHIPMENTS LAST YEAR.
We obtain the following from tn

VIC ODlhiu lhO iOilOhluk uOul THO
Athens TENN Post of yesterday;
We learn from a correct source that,
during the present year, there have bssn
shippeddown the Tennessee river and its
tributaries to Chattanooga, of the crop of
1867, 10000 bushels OF corn. Up the
river, from the country below Chattanoo>
ga, to the same point, $4,000 bushels.
During the same period there were re-
ceived at Chattanooga, from Middle Ten
nessee, over the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga road, $4,000 Understanding
over a million and a half bushels corn
received at Chattanooga and sent South
during the period mentioned. To this we
may add that during portion of the time
from thirty to fifty car loads per day were
received at Dalton, over the East Ten
nessee and Georgia railroad. We also
learn that q considerable amount of the
same product grown in upper East Ten
nessee, found market in the other direc>
ton. From the additional number of
acres planted and gathered in 1868, the
shipments of corn from East Tennessee
next year will be still heavier.
