HELPLESS MEN. - Further accounts of the
killing of Abel Gridley, at Warsaw. KY, say
that Gridley was man of some property but
mach feared. His depredations on the neigh
bors became so intolerable that they banded
against him and caught him. There were sew
eral cases of robbery against him in court and
he threatened the lives of the witnesses finally
killing Joseph Worth. The party who attack
ed the jail numbered Is or 100 men from the
country. They broke into the Jail but were
unable to break into Gridleys cage, and shot
at him eight times through the bars. His wife
aud infant were with him at the time He
cursed and defed his murderers to the last. -
The town was picketed and nobody allowed to
interfere. The citizens of Warsaw, despatch
says, deeply regret the occurrence which they
were unable to prevent, but the people of the
country breathe more freely as no mans life
or property was safe while Gridley was alive

OAhDEN, Wv Aosi.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In your issue of the 18th inst. there is a n ed
itorial -"Church and State'-in reference TO
the Methodist State Convention The hrst
part is very appreciative. AS read the essay
which led to the discussion OF which you COM
plain, will you allow nae little space to ex-
nlain orr pesitiop. If the State takes the
ground of no money to any UNCONVENTIONAL
schools, we will give good, hearty, Methodist
amen; but if appropriations are made at all, it
should be done impartially and fairly. The
idea Of the Methodist church becoming the
State church never existed in our widest
dreams. Certainly we have no desire for it,
In England. under the British Lion, the Wes-
leyans came out from the State church, and
we shall never return to one under the wings
of the American eagle. We only desire of the
State. land the rest OF mankind" fair
chance and no special favors The essays will
be published, and will speak for themselves.
Yours truly,
E a. BELMERsKAUsEN.
Mr.. EDIroR,-Your editorial of the 18Th
inst, in relation to the Methodist Convention
contains some differences which are hardly
just to that body.
The essay containing what you deem objec
| tionabe sentiments in regard to late aid to de
| nominational hools were the sentiments o
the author of the essays How tar the con
| vention approved those sentiments, was no
| determined by vote.
| The time devoted to this discussion was briei
aud but little opportunity could be allowed 70
| full discussion OF the subject.
The subject of education was referred to
committee of three persons from each of tn
two conferences of this State, to report at som
| time hereafter.
Methodists of Maire do not ask State pal
rohage for their schools, on denominations
grounds, but simply on the ground of the sci
vice they are rendering in the work of genera
education; much less do they claim or desire
monopoly OF State patronage. They howeve
do object to an unjust discrimination again'
their interests All they ask is equal justice. i

curious facts were developed. 1t was ascertain

judge had fraudulently tempered with the re-
