The Trial of the eco {"

A SquabbIe About Market MOneY-A
vOrce Hero.
NEw YORK, Msy 15.-The Blood Claf-
lin case was before Justice LedWith this
evening and proved an immense sensa-
tior. The court room was crowded.
Col. Jas. Harvey Blood is the husband of
Mrs. Victoria Clafin Woodruff. Blood
was charged with attempting to kill the
mother of Ternie Claflin and Mrs. Victo-
ria Woodruff, the feminine brokers Of
Broad street. Mrs. Claflin testified that
the trouble arose because her daughters
and Blood, who was IL business with
them, kept no books, and she had said a
peanut woman would do business better
Blood threatened to kill her and she feared
he would deprive her of her freedom by
causing her srTest as q lunatic. Trouble
was also caused by the witness complain
ing when there was no money to do mar
keting. One time Blood made rush at
her but Mrs Woodruff, a strong woman
when excited, caught him by the neck
and threatened to put him in Jail. She
knew Blood in Chicago, st. Louis, Des-
moines etc, as DR.. Harvey.
Mrs. Spar, daughter of Mrs. Clsfin,
testified that there was good deal of
hard feeling between the mother and her
broker sisters and Blood, and the latter
threatened to wash his hands in the
mothers blood.
Col. Blood denied all, and said he was
divorced from his first wife in 1866, and
the same year married Mrs. Woodruff,
divorced from her in 1868, and she now
occupied separate rooms from him in the
same house. He was in business with
Vic. and Tennie., and the trouble was
that some of the relatives wanted him out
of the family.
The case comes up again tomorrow.

THEKU.KLUx VAR BEGUN.

Grants war on the Ku-Klux-which
would be as farcical as Don Quixote's
assault on the windmills, if it did not
cover deadly design on the liberties of
the countTy-has st length begun in ear
nest. Military officers in South Carolina are
ordered direct from the White House to
arrested suspected citizens in their vicin-
ity. The Governor Of South Carolina
and its officials are Radicals; and if the
ruffians who commit outrsges are known,
why did not the Radical President re-
quest these civil officers, of his own pO-
litical household, to do their swoIn dutyl
That this military interference is ALTO.
gether necessary, is proved by no less an
authority than the Tribune special from
North Carolina published this morning.
Troops were sent from Raleigh to arrest
some sixteen citizens of Rutherford
county. Some of these citizens were
men of property, class whom the civil
law never has any trouble in reaching.
They were men of such character that,
after the grand display of osyonets to ar
rest them, they were Immediately released
on their personal recognisance. Our
Tribune special proceeds: ''The general
impression is that the arrests might as
easily have been made without troops.
Wgs ever humbug so transparent
We are not surprised at tbe strong Ian
guage of Gov. Caldwell against the Ku-
Klux. Every man North or South that
loves bis country, cannot but regard
every midnight robber now as an accom-
plice of the minions who would furnish
the tyrsnt's excuse for the overthrow of
American liberty.

the TU0ch begins to dawn. The King
dom of Heaven is flexible enough to suit
the wants aud the condition of child.
In time of mans extremity there was
Gods opportunity, and he called fisher
men to labor in his cause and endowed
them with power from on high; but God
is not going to do for US what we can do
for ourselves, and this religious education
of our youth is now the basis Of the fu-
ture structure we are to build. If you
wait till your child can articulate the
name of mother and Of father, you have
waited too long. Let your first look be a
look of love. Let your very voice be 8
gospel to your child. God never insti-
tuted a system of grace that is not fsxi.
BILE enough to take in every child, and in
that innumerable company on high the
treble voices of the children shall join
with the grand bass of sages and Eeers to
swell the glad hallelujahs of Heaven.
DR.. A. L. P. Green discussed the sub
jtct of "The best mode of interesting
the parents of Sunday school scholars IN

The following report of the Committee
on Memorials was submitted by Dr.. Ham

Resolved, That this convention memo

answer, the following:
2. Let him infoIm the parents, o.
| guardians of the children, that by thei
baptism their children were made mem
bers of the visible church of Christ tina
their names are recorded in the Bsptisma
Register as such and charge them to brin!
them up in the nurture and sdmonitiOn o
the Lord.
After spirited discussion, DR.. Peter
son moved to lay it On the table, as tb
convention had no right to consider it.

diction at o'clock.

as diVinely appointed to do this work.
Every attraction thus offered to the chill
dren of the Church, will encourage the
efforts of parents, and supplement defec-
tive authority on their part.
In the meantime, let the parents be
taught from the pulpit and in pastoral
visiting, that God, accOrding.to the teach
ings of His word, and the Church, ac-
cording to the declarations of its discip-
line, all parents are held sOlemnly bound
to bring their children to the house of
God, to join in the public worship of the
people; and that al parents be exhorted
to do the same.
Let the Sabbath-schOol be 50 dismissed
that the children mag be taken by their
teachers into the church for worship,
where there is church accommodation
for that purpose; and where there is not,
let the officers of the school complain to
the Qusrterly Conference, thst the trus-
tees nave failed to furnish place in the
house of God, whereby the children may
join in the worship; a complaint looking
10 Church extension, a failure to supply
which, should be accounted q great fault.
Your committee therefore offer the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That the above suggestions
embJdy the best solution of this great
difficulty to which their present hght
leads; and
Resolved, That the same be recon-
mended TO ali concerned.

The following was adopted as subsIi-
tute for the Report of the Committee on

Resolved, That the subject of the re-
lation of baptized children TO the church
is one which does not come properly
within the design of the call for this con-
vention, and therefore it is inexpedient
for us to give an expression of opinion
concerning it.

The Memphis appeal of Saturday
contains long communication from the
Mayor of that city, in which he again
criticises my official action in the sale of
Memphis coupons to Col. W. B. Green
law and others. Irrespective of the fact
that-as | have already intimated-my
attention TO the financial interests
of the State leaves me no time for
newsrap,r controversies in which
my course as Comptroller may be i'm
pugned, l am more than willing TO ac-
cept Mayor Johnson's suggestion that the
whole matter shall be referred to the
Legislature al its next session, for inves-
tigation. In fact as a matter of JUS
tice TO myself, l shall demand such in
vestigstion, confident that the transac-
ton, over which Mayor johnson and
certain disappointed bidders Of such there
were) for the coupons, are so much eX-
crciscd, will be approved by that body.
The elaborate tabular statement by
which the Mayor of Memphis attempts
TO prove that lost to the State 81, 900 or
90 by the bargain could have had no in
fluence whatever with me in my official
capacity, even had the speclous showing
been presented before the sale was COL
summated. That the financial affairs of
Memphis are in q seriously embarrassed
condition is matter of notoriety. These
claims sgaintt her could never have been
collected by the State, for her representa-
tiyes had been shrewd enough TO provide
against such a contingency by securing
the passage of an set (see Chapter CX,
page 10, acts of 1870, by which the
nroperty of all municipal corpo'
ratious are made exempt from execution
or attachment The object of the law,
as am informed by one of the members
from Shelby in thel ast Legislature, was tC
eUdde the payment of the very
class of claims about the tina
settlement of which Mayor johnson
is SO virtuously indignant. The only
way the blood could be got out of th'
turnip was that which has elected sc
much harsh, unjust criticism, but which
am not afraid to submit 10 the test O.
the closest scrutiny. With Mayor John
son, I sqeave its further investigation t.

parliamentary Views of the Treaty
of Washington.
LONDON, May 15.-In the House of
Commons ViscOunt Enfield, the Under
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, said the
Government was not prepared to state the
exact terms of the treaty of Washington,
as the copy of the document had not yet
been received.
Gladstone stated that the Government
was unable to anticipate the exact time
of the arrival of the treaty, but prom
ised that it would instantly be submitted
to Parliament.
In the House of Lords Earl Russell
gsye notice of his intention to move an
address to the Queen against the sanction
or ratification of the Alabama treaty in
case the arbitrators are bound by any
ruIes or conditions other than the law Of
nations, and the English municipal law
existing during the civil war in the United
States. when the alleged depredations
upon American commerce were commit
ted.
Granville said that by the recent con-
ference of the powers reasonable set
tlement of the questions in dispute would
be secured. Russia was fully satisfied,
and all the powers concurred in the new
policy under which Turkey still retained
a stronger naval power il Euxine than
Russia had acquired.
Marquis Salisbury condemned the &C
ton of the Government. Like America
on the Alabama question, the Govern
ment should have waited till a pending
struggle and then demanded satisfaction
of Russia for its course in reference tx
the ueaty of Paris.

tance of our Sunday School cause, and
feeling assured that a Sunday School
Convention of our pastors and laymem-
bers, held during the session of
each of our annual Conferences,
when it can be done without any
additional expense would be of great
benefit to our whole church. We would

these matters under consideration, and If
it meet with their approval to set apart
one evening of the conference week to
be devoted to the discussion of Sunday
school questions, and that the Committee

TIE Senate opened yesterday with
only twelve Senators at their desks for
the consideration of the pending treaty
with England. The correspondents of
the New York Tribune refuse to divulge
the,name of the party they bribed for a
copy of the treaty. 1t remains to be
seen whether the Senate has enough
sense of dignity left to enforce its au-
thority against the BOhemians of the
! eading Radical organ in the country.
