Our story now is, of the satisfaction we en-
JOY in wearing the clothes which they make
at the great Brown Hall, Philadelphia.
The fact is, there are no other clothes,
made elsewhere, that look half as well, or
wear half as long as the RoCKHILL & Will
son clothes. The immense and varied as
sortment of fine clothes for Fall which
Rockhill & Wilson now display is worthy
the attention of all who 90 to the city. See

-RoCKHILL & WILSON'S advertisement,
in another column Of this issue, speaks for
itself. The clothes on the backs of our
best citizens also speak volumes in praise
of Rockhill & Wilson's good habits. Both
for men and for the sons of men. Rockhill
& Wilson seem to have everything tho
heart can desire, or the fancy can long af-
ter. Most Of the happy homes in this
vicinity are made happier by the fact that
the men and boys of the household get
their clothes at the great Brown Hall.
Read and see for yourselves, gentlemen.

THE CoMET.-Scientific astronomers pre-
dicted ten years ago that during the months
of July, August and September, 1869, the
most wonderful comet the world had ever
known would approach nearer the earth
than any had ever before, and that either
the comet or the earth would have to change
its course, or collision will be inevitable.
According to astronomers, it was this COM
ct that Immediately preceded the civil wars
of Greece, and was Immediately followed
by the great contagion in Persia and other
eastern countries, a most direful plague
that swept from the earth, in a few weeks,
one half of the people of that country was
visited by it. Some years after this comet
appeared again and was preceded by most
terrible civil war in Rome, and followed by
a plague or scourge that piled the dead up
in heaps in the streets of that proud but
corrupt city, until there was scarcely
enough persons left to bury the dead. The
comet is now visible, having made its
appearance "nearly on time" thus verify
ing the prediction of the astronomers,
"without postponement on account of
weather." 1t may be seen with the naked
eye on any clear night. in the Northern
part of the heavens, after II or 12 clock,
and from that time till day light. 1t will
grow brighter as it approaches the earth.
ESThe " JVlDlington CitU .SoaD" chal-
lenges the world to beat it. 1t is a pure,
harmless, beautiful and effective article,
warrented to do all claimed for it. The
whole country is beginning to appreciate
its superiority. Moore & Bro, manufac-
turers.

WE MEAN YOU.

There are at present thousand persons
in this county who do not subscribe for the
Gazette" who, every week as soon as the
mails are distributed 60 to their neighbors'
houses, stores and shops to read it, and
learn the local news. If they were too
poor to take it we should find no fault with
them for reading their neighbours paper,
for it is an evidence that they consider it a
good paper; but many of them are far
more able to subscribe for it than those
whose paper they read and their excuse is
that they are now taking too many papers,
and can't afford to take their county pa
per- You, it seems, can't afford to do
without it, or you wouldn sponge its read
ing off your neighbor. You don't treat
him fairly, for he wants the paper for him
self and family, and din't subscribe for it
for your accommodation. You don't treat
us fairly, for you get the benefit of all the
time and labor we have expended in max
ing up the paper without giving US any
consideration. This is neither fair, nor
manly, and if you are really taking several
papers now, you ought to discontinue one
of your foreign papers and take a county
paper. Every good citizen in the county

EF The Commoner, of Cincinnati,
is one of the most candid and frank
democratic papers that we read. 1t
does not seek to cover up and hide,
in a multiplicity of words, the prin-
ciples of the party, but boldly and
plainly unfolds them. so that all may
understand who choose to read. In
a recent number it names three cap
ital points which the next Demo-
cratic platform should contain. We
have room now for only one, the
first, to-wit:
The denial of Congressional pow
er to interfere with the ballot or the
bayonet within the States, and af-
frming the latter's absolute control
over both.
How long, think you, would our
government last if it was denied the
power to interfere with the "bayonet
within the States?" Could secession
ask anything more? If that is De-
mocracy, the less we have of it the
better for the perpetuity of our in
stitutions.

re Attorney General WEST has
written letter, in which be says that
there is nothing in the visible ad-
mixture" act, passed by our late demo-
cratic Legislature, that gives the least
color of authority to refuse the vote of
male person of 81 years, in whose
blood the preponderance is of the white
race. Its only effect is to subject ne
groes, those who have preponderance
of black blood, and unnaturalized for
eigners, to a much severer penalty for
voting than white, native illegal voters.
As the Cincinnati Gazette remarks
eve see no cause for this, nor justice
in it; but that is the whole extent of the
act" Unnaturalized foreigners will,
no doubt, thank the Democracy for
CHASING them with negroes in this re-
spect. and making their punishment for
Illegal voting much severer than is met
ed to other persons for the same act.

For the Gallipolis Journal
Bishops and High FunetiOnaries
In the III. E, Church."

The above expression is taken
from one of our city papers, in con-
nection with which some remarks are
made relative to the contemplated
vote to be taken by the laity ON the
question of the introduction of the
element into the General Conference
of said Church.
1t is very manifest that the writer
of the article is not acquainted with
the polity of the Church relative to
her Bishops, for we cannot think
that he would designedly misrepre-
sent them.
1t is but just to say, that the
Bishops of the M. E. Church do not
make any of her laws; neither have
they any power to enact laws for the
ministry or laity. They were never
invested with any power of this kind,
neither can they be. Let US refer to
their sphere of duty and authorities.
Their office is created by the General
Conference, which is a delegated
body of ministers, chosen by ballot
from among their brethren in the
annual conferences. They are to
travel at large among the churches,
and hold annual sessions composed
of the ministry, and to some extent
the laity; in those bodies they decide
questions Of law, subject TO an ap-
peal to General Conference; in the
General Conference they are mere
moderators, and can decide nothing
but points of order, and are liable to
be overruied on appeal to the house.
They are the only men in the NJ.
E. Church who have no vote in any
conference of ministers, quarterly,
annual, or general, and not even a
casting vote ia the case of tie or
equal number of votes pro or con.
They have no right of discussion on
any question pending in any con-
ference. If they speak it is by cour-
tesy, not by legal right. They have
no right of appeal, but are liable to
expulsion for merely improper con-
duct. Here is the authority to sus-
tain this statement.
"To whom is Bishop ameneable
for his conduct Answer, To the
General Conference, who shall have
power to expel him for improper con-
duct if they see Unnecessary"
They have no power to ordain
Bishop, Elder or Deacon, till he is
elected, in which they have no voice
whatever, and when elected they
have no discretionary power, but
must ordain him, whatever doubt
they may have of his fitness.
1t is sometimes said that the
Bishops own all the Church property.
1t is passingly strange how this
assertion has gained any credence
whatever, and especially among
reflective and thinking people.
The fact is, there is not church
in all the connection, or parsonage
that has ever been decided to any
Bishop of the NJ E. Church, neither
can such thing be done, the law of
the church, which is perfectly plain,
forbids 1t. The laity hold all the
church property, by properly con-
stituted beard of trustees, to which
the Bishops are not elegible.
Then, where is the power of the
Bishops in the Methodist ChurchP
In one respect oniy---that is, in ap-
pointing the preachers to their fields
of labor; and this when understood
correctly, does not by any means
place them in the catalogue of sshigh
functionaries," as is claimed by the
writer of the article alluded to.

s9 Col. J. G. Crane, U. S. A,
was foully murdered at Jackson,
Miss, on Tuesday, of last week, by
E. n. Yerger. He was formerly a
resident of Dayton. His murderer,
says the Cincinnati Gazette, if we
mistake not, is the Col. Yerger some
what widely known as editor of the
Jackson, Miss Clarion, one of the
"fre-eating" secessionists of the
John Forsyth school. He also figur-
ed prominently at the Johnson Phil
adelphia Convention. 1t is some
satisfaction to know that he has
been arrested, and as Mississippi is
yet under the immediate control of
the United States authorities, there
is prospect that justice may not be
cheated of it's victim. No account
Of the crime which has been received
indicates that Col. Crane provoked
his fate by any act outside of the
strict line of his official duties.

REUNION OF o. s. AND N. S,

Sabbath before last, Rev. Mr.. MIrcH-
ELL, of the N. S. Church, preached a
sermon on the subject from Ps. 1873. l..
A few of the facts and arguments have
an interest, beyond the limit of his
own congregation, and we will endeav-
or to present. them to our readers.
He commenced his discourse by an
nouneing that "a great fact had just
transpired in the history of American
Presbyterianism. The two General
Assemblies of its two chief branches,
have agreed upon. and adopted, basis
of Reunion, to be submitted to their
respective Presbyteries, two-thirds of
which approving, the Reunion is to be
consummated in the city of Pittsburgh
the second Wednesday of November,
1862" He then stated that ''two
thoughts are prominent in the text, one
the utility and the other the jog of
Christian unity" at is both good and
pleasant for brethren to dwell together in
harmony and peace"
He next adverted to the opposition
of DR.. RoBr. J. BRECKENRIDGE, to Re-
union in all its forms; who declares the
agitation to effect this from beginning
to end, ga most senseless, graceless and
dangerous excitement" Mr.. NJ. said
he should not attempt any reply to
such an opinion, only to say that it diff
fers from that of an overwhelming ma
iority of one of the General Assem-
blies lately in session in the city OF
New York, and of every member of
the other Assembly, which held its ses-
sons in the same city, and at the same
time. In the o. S. Assembly there
were only seven dissenting votes out of
over $50, and in the n. s. Assembly,
the voice was unanimous in favor of re-
union, given by rising vote, after a
brief season spent in silent prayer.
He then stated that few years since
statistics gathered by the Secretaries
of the A. H. M. Society, showed that
the number of churches of over hun
dred members in the
o. S. Assembly was 1853
