HUMBOLDT Centennial in st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE Hum
bOldt centennial was celebrated here
this afternoon with choice and appro-
pirate music, at Lafayette Park, where
many hundreds of our citizens, mainly
Germans, gathered This evening the
celebration Is continued at Polytech-
mic Hall, the ceremonies being sing
ing by several German singing socie-
ties. An Grafton was delivered in
English by DR.. III. L. Linton, and an
other In German BY Carl SWedeking.
I The hall is crowded, and deep interest
is manifested by all present.
1t proves that the negro who was
reported last night as having escaped
from two gentlemen who were con
Yeying him from the country to one
Of the city police stations, was
the man thatWas shot at the time the
wagon was stopped on the road. The
theory is that the party stepping the
wagon did SO for the purpose of
lynching the negro, but the evidence
at the CoTOner's inquest to-day does
not make it clear. The verdict was
that the negro was shot by persons
unknown, and all the parties under ar
rest were discharged.
The Grand Jury of Monroe County,
H., have found indictments against
McCoole, Gallagher and Allen for a
violation of State law in fighting a
prize fight within that county and
have issued warrants for their arrests.
Waddy Thompson of Memphis, who
came to st, Louis with Perry Fuller,
has been arrested charged with being
connected with Fuller in the Revenue
frauds at New Orleans. Both parties
waived an examination to day and
were ordered by u. S. Commissioner
Eaton to be sent to New Orleans by
the D, s.. Marshal. A deputy q. S.
Marshal is here from New Orleans

down. Since Waddy Thompson has
been here he has entered suit in the

claimed to be due him on cotton spec
Ulations during the war.
= The complaint against Fuller q
Thompson is made by Thomas ..
Kensella, a special Treasury agent,
and charges that from December i,
1868, to April, 1859, they did, at vari-
Gus times, frauduIently and feloniously
remove large. quantities Of sugar,
coffee, pepper, &c, from bonded
warehouses IN New Orleans without
paying duty thereon, and sending
them to st. Louis and selling them
and appropriating the proceeds.

THE Courier of Sunday morning
cacklei considerably over a remark
made in the Conference on Saturday
morning, with reference to that paper,
by w. r. HARMED, Presiding Elder
of the Evansville District We copy
the statement which is again repeated
in lis issue of yesterday:
The conference met again yesterday
morning at o'clock, and proceeded to
business pursuant to adjournment. During
the reading of the minutes the Secretary
was frequently interrupted by members
who wished to have corrections made. Be-
fore the minutes were adopted, Rev. VIM.
f. Harmed. Presiding Elder Of the Evans
vile District, arose and stated that the
Evansville Daily Courier contained a full
report Of yesterday proceedings; that the
report in the Courier was more complete
than that of the Secretary, and that nearly
every minister in the house had secured
copy of the Evansville Courier - Confer
ence proceedings Of Saturday.
The Courier of yesterday says, if
the JOURNAL was complimented for
the fulIness of its reports, or for any
other reason, we did not learn it.
We had not intended alluding to
this matter, but as the Courier
persists in parading it before the
public, we can no longer avoid no
ticing it, however unpleasant it may
be to the gentleman who was so in
discreet as to make the statement
referred to. A careful comparison of
the Conference proceedings of Fri
day, as they appeared in the JOURNAL
and Courier on Saturday morning,
shows that while the ehafFering
among the ministers on the question
of Lay Delegation was reported at
greater length in the Courier, that
paper failed in some FIVE or six
instances to record the action Of
the Conference, which was published
in the JOURNAL, and aCas az The Sec
retargs Minutes. The Courier did no
contain a full report of Fridays pro
ceedings, as any one can see for him.
self by comparing the two papers. Il
is evident that the Presiding Elder
III LIS 6dSCLACoS ~ many sunni
turn for a years gratuitous subscrip
ton to the Daily Courier. did 10
carefully weigh the expression tC
which he was giving utterance
In addition to these omissions o.
the Courier, it did not contain a single
word about the Report of the Mis-
sionary Treasurer, which appeared il
full IN the columns of the JOURNAL.
So far as the Courier publication o.
the Conference proceedings were con
cerned, its readers would never have
known that there had been such 9
thing as a Missionary Report read al
all. We presume most of the minis
ters in the Conference, except Rev. w
E. HARMED, were aware of this fact an
were very much surprised at the state
ments made by him in this partieula
We respectfully submit that mini:

Annexation. MeeiIng.

QUEBEC, Sep. 14.-At an annex
alton meeting held here Sunday after
noon, the following resolutions were
adopted:
1. For many years past we have
seen with deep regret our real estate
sink rapidly, our ship building interest
disappear, perhaps forever, our mag
nificent water power, the greatest In
aggregate Of any single locality on this
continent, rush wildly past our doors,
and our youth, the flower of our popu-
lation, flying to the United States In
countless thousands from the desc
lation which seems to have marked
our city as its own.
2. The differences existing between
the depressed condition Of this do
minion and every increasing pros
perity of our neighboring republic has
impelled US to the conclusion that the
difference has its rise, not In an
imaginary boundary line, but in the
working of the institutions Of the
two countries.
3. It is therefore the deliberate
opinion of this meeting that steps
should be taken at once towards
addressing the Imperial authori les
through His Excellency the Governor
General a respectful petition praying
to be informed whether q nearly
unanimous desire on the part of the
inhabitants of the Dominion for its
incorporation with the Territory of
the United States would not receive
from the British people the same
gracious reception as was accorded
not many years ago to a like request
from the inhabitants of the IOnian
Islands for a union with Greece.
Messrs. O'Farrell and Mr.. Me-
Avery spoke at length on the subject,
and the meeting, after naming the
committee to carry out the resolu-
tions, broke up with three cheers for
annexation and three more for Mr.
O'Donovan, to whose approach O'Far-
rell called attention.
The crowd was very orderly in It;
conduct, and no marks of disapproba
ton were evinced. The police die
not interfere.
