SAcRILE0E.-Some time. during last
week, some dastardly miscreant5 entered ST.
PaulS Episcopal Chu;c h, of this city, and car
ried off the carpeting covering the floor OF the
two aiSles, both of which contained about 40
yards. The robbery was not discovered until
Saturday. The tn ieves obtained admission
through the vestry room door, which had been
left unlocked, but for some reason, best Known
to themselves. they did rot take away other
valuabIes. This is the first case of church sac
rilege that has ever come TO our knwledge in
this city, and for audacity and meaness has
scarcely a parallel. The perpe traitors of the
foul deed are certainly capable of everything
mean in the calendar; we came near saying
murder, but they are not naly enough for that,
they doubtless only aspire to mean, low-lived
petty transactions. Thus far no clue has been
obtained Of the guilty parties. but It is our
fervent hope that they may soon he brought to

CoTToN CRop OF ALaBAMA.-The Mont.
gomery Adrcrtiscr says that, in conversipg
with an old and experienced planter who has
seen much Of the growing crop in the adjoin.
ing counties, he said that the crop is more Sc
riously injured than the planters generally
suppose. The damage from the army worm
aud the boil worm together was considerable.
but the long and continual rains in the early
part of August destroyed the hopes Of a late
crop and caused many of the matured bolls
to rot. Arainy August is always fatal to the
cotton crop. Our informant gives it as his
opinion that the crops of Lowndes aud Mont.
gomery Counties will not yield over one.sixth
of the crops usual average.

The REPORTED ACTION OF THE NEw YoRK
WHOLESALE Day GooDs HousEs.--The New
York Journal of Commerce, alluding edito-
rally to the paragraph stating that the lead.
ing. dry goods houses OF that city had resolved
to extend no credit in future to Southern
dealers, says:
Itturns out now that the representation is
wholly false. We have inquired personally
of "the leading dry goods firms of New
York." and they declare that they never heard
of this meeting until this paragraph was pub
lished, and that they propose to make no
change whatever in relation to their custom
in the Southern States. Tho leading jnbbers
in this city are doubtless divided ntheir per-
sonal relations to the ogreat political par
ties; but there are few of them, VIC have
reason to know, who carry their partisan ship
so far as to interfere with the management Of
their business upon sound mercantile princif
Piles. They invite custom from every section,
and will sell every applicant in good credit
without regard to his political bias. So far
from any unusual restrictions, there has been
an extension of last seasons credit TO worthy
Southern applicants, a very natural result as
the two sections become more intimately con-
nected.

nix that on Friday morning last, between
and 9 o'clock, as the mail carrier between
Lexington Courthouse and Mount Willing, in
Edgefield D strict, was pursuing his journey,
he was waylad near the line Of Edgefeld and
shot from his horse. The assassin shot at
him five times, the last shot only taking eff
feet. The ball struck near the hipjoint and
lodged, it is supposed, in the bowels. Tie

sixty years Of age. and was a man of ire

ATLANTA, September 3.-The House passed
a resolution yesterday to hold two, sessions
during the eligibility discussion. ~ t7Z
This morning, Turner (negro) spoke, and
held the. floor during the session. He, said
that he was entitled to his scat, and that he
would not cr6ge-or beg. There was no par
allel in the history Of the world to the scene
presented to day. Never before was man ar
raigned before legislative body for an of

rights Of man. The Democratic leaders ad-
vised the people to remain. away from the
polls, and blame. them for negroes holding
seats on this floor. Every State reconstructed
under the act shall makeno discrimination on
account of race, color or previous condition.
Submit the question to Congress or'the Con-

taken, the negroes were declared ineligible
by a vote of eighty to twenty.three, unseating
twenty five negroes. -Four remain who claim
To be white men. Their case is sto beinvesti

dust from his feet; the other negroes bowed
10 the Speaker and waved their hats-to the
white members.
