distressed by the event, and will receive the
sympathy Of the community generally. rflr 4
The money which Crabtree took away with him
IS said to consist Of 900 in seven thirties and
$1,000 in greeDbacks. 1t seems somewhat strange
that 80 large sum OF money should be carried
about in trunk, but We understood the insruc-

WHY GRANT DOES NOT RESIGN

Correspondence of the New Gork Herald.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "A few weeks ago
the question as to whether General Grant
would resign his position as General-in-
Chief of the army before the day Of cleo
finn was extensively discussed. FROM all
The information your correspondent could
obtain at that time in relation to this sub
;ecf II seemed to be almost certain that
Gen. Grant would not resign, aud 1t was
an stated in these dispatches. The sequel
has proved the truth Of that statement.
The day of the election has arrived, and
7 G Grant is still General of the armies
In thus holding on TO his military position
Cen Grant has a very important object in
view, and it is just as certain that
ba will no. resign if he be elected
| to.morrow President of the United States,
nor will he tender Hist resignation until the
! dav of inauguration shall have arrived.
| General Grant achieved succeos in the field
kv carefully studying all the possible
moves Of his opponents, and by torecasllng
| bis own movements in any contingency
He doubtless perceives that his resignation
| yould leave a vacancy at the head OF the
army which will have to be filled. lie
NAV have his preferences as to who shall
ell that vacancy, and, very probably
thinks that if he should have the pIiVil
ege of making the nomination there would
he less difficulty in filling that highly i'm
nortaut grade in the service with the verJ
man who accords best with his ideas of al
aTmv commander. It does not require an!
extraordinary keenness to see that Genera
Grants preference rests upon Lieutenant
General Sherman, who Is next in rank.

the Baltimore Conference South, it il pro
vided that a majority Of the members, TO
be ascertained by vote Of all those emit
tied to that privilege, shall decide TO which
Conference they will belong, and after that
decision has been made, the Circuit Court
of the county in which such church prop
erty is situated shall order the property INFO
the possession and control of the majority.
On Sunday, the members of these
churches, by the unanimous vote OF all
present entitled to vote, decided that they
belonged to the Baltimore Conference
South. Judge Thomas, on Monday, in
