Order from General Soho

Defense OF the Late Assistant Agent
OF the Methodist BOOB Concern.

DefenSe Of thG Late ASSlStans Agent
OF tho Methodist BOOk Concern.
NEW York, October 7.-Rev. Jas.
Porter, late Assistant Agent of the
Methodist Book Concern, prints a
defense against the late aspersions
thrown upon him by the publication
of his rumored defalcation in that
Concern DIR. Porter cOnclusively re-
flutes all imputatiou of improper deal
ings with any one during his official
connection with the Concern. He
shows that he never bought a pound
of paper while there, all purchases of
this nature having been made by Mr..
Goodhugh, the Superintendent of
Printing; also that he never bought a
pennyworth Of supplies for the bind
cry, and that his son never, to his
knowledge, made any purchases of
paper for the Concern. DR.. Porter
proves that instead of deirauding the
Concern, he for several years expend-
ed a thousand dollars a year out of
mis- private funds, to meet his family
expenses, besides performing thou
sands of dollars worth of extra lite
rary service, to aid the Concern out of
embarrassments, amounting to $40,
coo, brought about by the division OF
the capital stock with the Church
South
DIR. Porter says that if it can be
proved he took one penny of commits
sion on purchases for the Concern, he
is willing to be branded as thief and
as a robber, but no such charge has
as yet, emanated from the concern.
The rumors, which have probably
come from outside parties, have ne
cessitated this demand.

After the announcement of the
Directors the meeting adjourned.
A meeting of Directors was held,
subsequently,, and re elected Gen. j
II. Boyle President of the Board, and
Phelps Sassene, Esq Secretary and
Treasurer.
This result of the meeting seemed
TO give great salts, action to the friends
of the road. Mr.. Hanson, the lessee,
is known to be a most energetic and
successful business man, and he
designs building the road at the
earliest possible date. He proposes,
we understand, to complete the road
to the coal mines three miles below
Madisonville, within ninety days, and
some Of his friends are hopeful that
he will complete the whole road
within ten months. Notwithstanding
the contract gives him ten years.
Should he equal the expectations of
his friends the lease of the road will
prove very valuable to all the country
through which 1t runs, as well as to
the business interests of Evansville.

MEMPHIS, July 13.-The Chinese La
Dor Convention was called to order at
10 O'Clock at Greenlaw Opera House.
Colonel j. w. Clapp, of Memphis. de-
livered an exhaustive address, in which
he denied the object of the meeting
was antagenistic to white or black Ia
Dor, but showed that in England the
proportion of area was 9 acres to every
faberer, while in IL Southern States it
was PCS acres. The committee on per-
manent organization reported as
permanent chairman, Ex-Governor
Isham G. Harris, of Tennes-
see, who, on taking the chair,
briefly responded, saying they had met
for action and not for talking. A long
list of Vice Presidents and Secretaries
were then appointed. A committee OF
five was appointed on the order Of bust
ness. After some unimportant business,
the committee reported the following
order of business: First-A committee
to consider the most practical means OF
inducing labor from China or India, as
the population best suited to our
climate, on which j. w. Clapp was ap-
pointed chairman. After the appoint
ment of q committee on Transportation,
Finance and Immigration, telegram
was received from st. Louis saying that
Koopmsn Shoop would be here to.mor-
row. The Convention adjourned until
ten o'clock tomorrow. The meeting
was very large and represents the capt.
tai of the Southwest. Delegates are

.l- WASHINGTON, July IL.
The French Gable.
The Secretary of State has addressed
letter in duplicate to the French and
English Ministers here in regard to the
new Atlantic cable now preparing to
land in Massachusetts,. Mr.. Fish takes
substantially the same ground az was
taken by Attorney General Hoar in his
letteHof four or FIVE weeks ago, viz /:
That while the cable may of course be
landed, it cannot be put into operation
except by consent of Congress. In view
of these two letters, persons here are
specializing as to the course the cable
company will pursue. Whether the
Government would interfere to prevent
them from using thewire, if they choose
to take the risk of getting the consent
Of Congress, is not known.
Town War Claims.
The Government has just agreed to
pay about two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars of Iowa war claims.
The whole claim was originally tritie
in excess of one million dollars, of which
about eight hundred and seventy We
Thousand have now in one form or an
other been paid. The last payment is
made under an act passed by Congress
Mt the late session, and was for moHeys
expended by the State in what is called
frontier defence. The balance of the
claim, about $3.50, 900, is not likely to
pass the auditors without further legis-
lation by Congress.
