why DIR. Holland left the MethO.
dist Church.

A reporter Of the Louisville Couraer-Jour-
nal has interviewed the venerable father Of
the Rev. DR.. Holland, who resides in that
city, and ascertained some of the reasons
why DR.. II. left the Methodist Church
Said he: There are certain rules Of the Epls-
copacy in the Methodist church, which, in
his mind, are antagonistic to that complete
independence OF ministerial conduct which
should control it. For instance, the Bishop
can say to the minister, Ego here, or 60
there" and he does not demur. His physi-
cal org anization is too delicate to do the
hard work required of itinerant preachers,
and he thinks the mode and manner Of their
appointment begets aspirit ofdemagoguesm
inimealsto bis idea of a. ministers entire in
dependence. But his Grew. DR.. Hollands
views are given in the following letter not
originally intended for publication
l have settled the controversy. have
formed the final decision. must 60 hence.
[ cannot tarry. 1t costs fortune Of friend
ships 1t inficts wound of severed 1850
Citations Still 1 must leave. Ny views,
my tastes, my whole character have 80
changed, that cannot work in harmony with
the government of the Methodist Church.
My soul wants rest, the rest Of congenial
activity I see in your church antiquity,
to excite reverence authority. to quell the
turbulence of doubt; dignity to awe the
mind that must have either the qaietude of
Difference or the noise Of wranglings and
liturgy that helps devotion, tnst trains the
wings Of the soul to fly, that plants against
the wall of heaven ladder on whose rounds
of prayer and praise aspiration can climb
step by step to q vision Of the city all glori-
GUS with the light of God.
He writes further, in letter to his ia
Their, that he does not expect the lattsr's ap-
provsl of his course, but" adds lie, '.this
lis 4 question whose Investigation zforbids
other counsel than what one holds with his
own soul and with hi. own God" He still
esteems the Methodist Church highly be-
lleves it the best organization for spreading
the gospel, and carrying to the frontiers the
first truths of Bible civilization. The father
believes all this, and more. He has lived
too. long in the faith first delivered to his an
cestols 10 be shaken in his devotion to old

"OH, CARRY Me BACK TO OLD VIRGIN
n."-A lady correspondent writes from
New York to the Washington Patriot:
"Almost thirty years ago gentleman
from Boston was travelling through France
in one of the old stages whose compartments
were only obtained at considerable expense,
and met as his fellow-passenger a gentleman
whose general knowledge and cas-, chit-chat
rendered the journey most pleasant. When
the stage arrived the Bostonian disclosed
his nationality, and Mozart eagerly asked
him about the negro melodies, which he had
till then vainly searched for. The gentle
man was about leaving for his own home,
but promised to bring Mozart all that he
could gather of this music on his return to
France. He kept his word and during the
winter after his arrival the masquerades, just
before Lent, were given with all the ell gauce
which distinguished them at the time; for
the nobility, and even members of the royal
family, frequented the gay salons whore
Mozart led the orchestra. On this evening,
at the end of the season of 1874, new
strain, full of tender pathos, seemed deli
cstsly interviewer with the overture. At
first light and graceful, the music was
charming, and then q wall that seemed to
express wild, passionate heart-cry. g und
ed, and the whole assembly, wild with en-
tn usiasm, turned to Mozart, and, with one
shout of applause, lifted the tone master
from his stand and bore him in triumph
round the room. Is there Southerner
who can ever forget this air, or Virginian
who would require to be taught the notes of
oh, Garry Ne Back to Old Virginia's
Shore p This old song Of. the South had
charmed the maestro, and, grating it upon
his own individuality, he had thus inspired
the brilliant circles of France"
The Ku.KLux EpIpEMIe. Admitting
that there disorders in the South, says the
Now York Herald, and particularly in
South Carolina, it is worth of notice, how
ever, that the reported Ku-Klux terrible
outra ges are always made to assume formid-
able character at the time Of elections in the
North, and when radical politicians are
pressed for issues before the people. Conssr-
Yative men who have just come through the
Southern States we're astonished to hear
when they arrived at the North the fright
ful stories Of Ku.Klux enormlties. We are
inclined to think there is much more politl.
cal smoke than real fire in these reports.
WANTS TO MARRY AN AMERIcAN.-lt is
said at the dinner given by Lord Campbell,
in New York, in honor Of the marriage Of
his brother, the Marquis Of Lorpe, with the
Princess Louise, he stated that the Princess
Beatrice had not long sga said to the Queen
''Mother. I am glad that tonlse ip going to
marry subject, because nov suppose I
can marry an American"

President Cant still insists upon Ku-
Klux Legislati On Thursday. 23d inst,
he sent the foil ling message to Congress :

fresident d:snt Sill lnslSts upon Au-
Klux Legislati =. On Thursday, 23d inst,
ne sent the foil ling message to Congress {:
TO the Senate ] House Of Representatives:
A condition affairs now exists in some
of the States the Union, rendering life
and property Insecure, and the carrying of
the mails an TIE collection of the revenue
dangerous
The pro that such g. condition of affairs
exists in ONE localities is now before the
Senate That tn, power to correct these
eyli IS beyond the control to the State au-
tpnlries, do not doubt. That the power
vi the Executive of the United States, act
ing whiting the limits Of existing laws. is
sufficient for present emergencies, is not
clear.
Therefore, l urgently recommend such
Legislation as in the Judgment of Congress,
shall effectually secure life, liberty and pro-
perty, and the enforcement Of law, in all
parts Of the United States
1t may be expedient to provide that such
law as shall be passed in pursuance Of this
recommendation shall expire at the end Of
the next session of Congress.
There is DO other subject on which l
would recommend legislation during the pre-
sent session. u. 5. GRANT.
That there has not been sufficient proof
before either House of Congress to sustain
the assertions of the message, the country
at large knows. Tia. an Investigating
committee has been appointed to ascertain if
n
and U. S. authorities can net suppress un-
der existing laws, and that the Radical Gov
errors Of the South, excepting Holden, who
has lately been deposed, assert that the
State authorities are able to preserve order,
is generally known, yet, with bold hardi-
hood, be asserts that the State authorities can
not quell disturbances, and the q S. Gov
eminent dare not, for want Of further legis-
lation. This is good joke on the part Of
Grant The u. S. Government has dared
anything it pleased, in late years. AS
proof Of this we point to facts we'll known
and to the words Of poor old Thad Stevens,
who honestly and boldly asserted that he
favored and supported certain Congression-
al Legislation, but they were outside even
of the powers delegated in and an infringe
ment of the Constitution. Yet they were
carried and enforced. The real cause of bis
desire for further Legislation Grant was
afraid to proclaim. 1t is the desire for
greater power to control the vote OF the
South The Enforcement bill does not give
him any power and he wants power. Sum-
ner says he would assume king y powers and
prerogatives if he dare. Then for fear q
Democratic Administration might exercise
this power he suggest that the law expire
at the end of the next Congress. If neces-
sary, is it not necessary for oil time and to
provide for all similar future contingencies?
Oh no. Grant only wants to be Presi-
dent once more-after that Dictator or
King, 80 says Sumner.

Mr.. Editor One of the most delightful
musical entertainments that our country
community has ever enjoyed was given at
Bethel Church Cd Tuesday, the 2lst inst,
by Mr.. J. A. Wright and his Singing
Glass which is composed principally of the
members Of the Choir Of Bethel Church, un
der the leadership Of Mr.. B. F. McClung
with a number Of other fine voices.
Some have pronounced the Concert equal
Except in number) to the one. given by the
Musical Association last Spring under the
conduct of Prof Evans It certainly gave
evidence of the musical talent Of the class
and the success OF Mr. Wright as teacher.
The Solo, by Miss Lizzie Wallace, with
Quartette Chorus, as also a solo, ("Gather-
ing Home'') by Miss Anna Smith, and Du-
EFT, ty the latter young lady and Mr..
Wright, deserve special mention as beauti-
full and rendered with taste and skill. There
were some fine Quartettes, double Quartettes
Choruses and Anthems. The pieces sung
were characterized by fine expression and
excellent time, and proved that good atssn
ton had been given to the instructions.
Mr.. Wright has had several classes the
past winter and has succeeded in awaking
an interest in Music, and improving the
singing far beyond any teacher we have had
in this region for some time. We hope he
will continue bis labors for the improvement
Of Sacred Music in our Community and else
