TENNESSEE ANNUAL CONFER
ENCE, Nh. E. CHURCH, SOUTH.

PULASKI, Tenn, Oct. 10, 1870.-Slnce
nv last, two scenes have been witnessed
worthy of record. On Saturday DR.. Nc
Ferrin stated the plan for paying the
cold Missionary Debt" 1t is over
thirty thousand dollars, and the Board of
Managers in Nashville have divided it
between more than thirty Annual Confer
ences. This Conference was assessed two
thousand. The veteran Doctor made an
appeal-One Of has dppe0Ls-and the
whole sum was pledged in thirty minutes
by responsible parties. Tennessee throws
out a line to Kentucky and asks her to
come up.
This is no. all. The Conference Board
of Missions held its anniversary that
night. The largest church in Pulaski
was perfectly packed by one of Giles
most brilliant audiences. DR.. Kelley and
DR.. Young were the speakers. They
closed out with six hundred more-cash
on the table. From that same audience
the next day, Sunday, DR.. Green lifted
the largest Conference collection l ever
saw. Giles not only feeds well, but it
contributes largely. The town that enter
tains this body of men next year had
better look to her laurels.
Bishop Doggett preached on Sunday
with great splendor and power. The vast
congregation was charmed, delighted,
moved, instructed. At the close of his
sermon he ordained the following Deacons:
TB Fisher, ] w Hill, D c Miles, A ]
Ford, T S McFerrin, T Alexander, G W
Cook, ] NJ Sowell, L NJ Sanford, R B
Parrott, W T Gill, w NJ P Rippey, W ii
Bass, S Cross, G W johnson.
In the afternoon these persons were Or
dained Elders: w W Jarad, ] S Davis, P
T Martin, E F Lyons, E F Pagan, J R
Randle, F R McGaugh, B F Hudson, W
r McKennon, w B Hall, NJ Ramsey.
The other scene l referred to is this
This Conference was divided last May.
To-day a venerable and beloved member
of the Old Tennessee, but now of the
New North Alabama Conference, the
Rev. Finch P. Scruggs, arose and took
leave in an appropriate and affectienate
address. DR.. Green responded in speech
full of beauty and pathOs. Rev. j. W.
Written followed with manly farewell.
The Bishop suggested q song. 1t was
sung by the Conference and audience.
DR.. Madden led them to the throne of
grace in a solemn prayer. All wept as
the beloved companions and brethren babe
each other adieu.
DR.. Green's great camp meeting closed
last night with about one hundred CONVEX
sions. The revival here continues. 1t Is
now about 10 o'clock at night, but the
revival songs still reach my ears. hope
my next paragraph may contain the ap-
pointments.

Fighting for his Rights-Fears of a
Rig Riot - Government officials
Interfering and Marines Posted
near the Polls.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE election
is progressing with spirit. The colored
voters are exercising the privilege of
voting for the first time. In the 4th ward
a difficulty occurred between Alderman
McCullen and q c0lored man. The latter
struck McCullen for an alleged attempt to
A1ust him from the line of voters. He
then ran, but was pursued, and finally
gave himself up. In the 9Th ward there
was q great crowd, and the polls were OBJ
structed. Finally the United States Mar
shals in'erfered; but the delay will pre-
vent a fun vote, as the voters in one pre-
cinct alone number 900. In anticipation
of a serious riot, the United States Mar
ines have been called to the Marshal's
Office, and posted to be available at short
notice.
In the Goth district there is no Demo-
cratic candidate, and the contest lies be-
tween O'Neill, present member, and
Creely, both Republicans, and each claim
ing to be the regular nominee.
The people are voting on the question
as to the location of the public buildings,
and the excitement on the subject brings
out a large vote. Thus far the advocates
of Penn Square seem to be in the major
ity.
In some of The lower wards, where the
colored vote is large, the colOred voters
were in line at the polls at four o'clock
this morning. In several precincts the
white and coloTcd voters formed in sepa-
rate lines, and the votes were taken al
--ternately from each line.
There Is considerable scratching of
tickets. aud it is thought that VIM. M.

1t will be remembered that on Friday
last the County Court of Wilson, in COM
pliance with an invitation from the David.
son County Court, came in a body to
Nashville and visited the Fair. They were
reraived at the depot, escorted to the
Ccmthouse and entertained by our County
Court in most worthy and .sumptuous
manner. There were forty-five of them
and they returned with grateful remem-
brances of the kind inequalities Of which
they had been made the recipients. In re-
ciprocation of The couriesies, and to show
proper appreciation of their Davidson
county brethren, the Wilson County Court
extended a formal invitation that they
should return the visit The invitation
was accepted, and to-day our worthy
Magistrates will visit Lebanon, where, we

queer Course Of a Coroner.

CHIoAGo, Oct. 1.-THE Coroner of
Peoria, ILL.,, yesterday took possession of
the body of A. L. Wilcox, travelling agent
of the New York Christian Union, who
accidentally shot himself on Saturday,
while showing revolver to some ladies,
and refused to deliver it to his friends.
He insisted on the right TO bury it him
self. The judge ordered the sheriff to
take the body from the coroner, which
was done. Indignation against the coro-
ner is SO. strong that he will be forced to
resign.
