A PUBLIC THEFT.

Some years since General Buell. was
tried by a ceurt-martial. The record
of that trial has been stolen, because, it
is limited, the evidence preserved was
very damaging to a certain military
celebrity. The House military commit
tee is now investigating the subject, A
Washington special says; The Seere-
tary of War, Judge Advocate Holt, Gen.
Townsend and the chief clerk Of the
War Department were examined, but
they failed to reveal the cause which
led to the disappearance Of the evil
dence or the person who distracted it.
From the facts given to the committee,
it appears that the evidence, together
with the finding Of the court, was placed
in a trunk and sent to the office Of Judge
Advocate General Holt, and that upsn
looking up the trunk, it was found to be
minus the testimony, but the finding Of
the court still remained.

CINCINNATI.

CIScXyATI, May THE Enquirer has
the following: ave are not surprised
at the enthusiasm with which the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Greeley has been received
in the South. The people of that sec
ton are attached to him by the strong
tie of personal gratitude. When the
life OF Jefferson Davis, for his devotion
to their cause, was in imminent danger,
when the cry for his blood was strong
all over the North and West, when such
was the odium of his name that no one
hardly dared say a word in his behalf or
protest against his execution, Mr.. Gree
ley stepped nobly forward, and in prac.
teal manner did that which eventually
gave Mr.. Davis his freedom. He did
this from the noblest convictions Of du-
ty, and risked his personal reputation
and political standing by it. He did
this when men who called themselves
friends of the South-who had acted
with it in the old political association,
and to whom it. at that time, looked for
assistance, stood aloof, either from ter
ror or indifference to Davis fate. This
act of moral courage, and his advocacy
Of universal amnesty to the people of
the South, brought that section Of the
Union 10 his support in the Convention,
and will do the same at the polls. He
is popular with the old Confederates,
and he is equally liked and esteemed by
the negroes, ON account Of his old aboli-
ton exertions in their behalf, and unit
ing these two elements he would be in
good position to restore peace to his

shelby street imprisonment.

The tearing away of the blocks OF
buildings on the corner of Shelby and
Gayose streets is progressing rapidly.
The ground was purchased originally by
Stewart, Brothers 4 Company, but a
large portion Of It has been resold to
other merchants, who intend erecting
fine business houses Immediately,
among others, Fargason 4 Clay, Brooks,
Nealy 4 Co., Cloth 4 Ketman, each Of
whom will move into the new buildings
Stewart Brothers 4 Co. win erect two
houses, will move into one of them and
rent the other. Shelby street will be
widened by fifteen feet. When finished,
this portion Of Shelby street will present
an architectural appearance not to be
equaled in the city, ~ dil I4l niN

A Rack DOWN.

Grants administration has backed
squarely down on the incidental dam
age question. 1t now makes this
proposition: Should Great Britain
propose that, in the event Of her being
a belligerent and we neutral, she will
make no complaints or claims against
the United States for any indirect, re-
mote or consequential injuries or losses
resulting from failure to observe their
neutral duties, the United States, by
accepting the suggestion, would gain an
important concession; and in conse-
quence thereof the United States might
very well agree to say that they will re-
frain from pressing for peeuniary COM
pensation for indirect damages before
the Geneva tribunal. The simple truth
is that this Government requested Gen.
Schenck by cable, to ask the British
Ministry TO propose the very thing it is
represented that this Government ex-
poets from Great Britain, 90 that all
the humiliation might not appear TO
the public to fall on the United States.

WILL NOT AFFILIATE.

The New York Sun says the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church is
threatened with a schism growing out
of the question of union with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. Itappears that
the white Methodists are willing to re-
ceivs their colored brethren on terms OF
perfect equality, while the majority Of
the latter object to an utilization. AT the
African Methodist Zion Conference in
1868, the feeling among the brethren
appeared to be unanimous for union,
and commission was appointed to treat
with commission of the Methodist
General Conference. The two commits
sions met in Philadelphia and agreed
upon certain stipulatioRs, the first OF
which provided that the Zion Methodists
should be received into the Methodist
Church on the basis of absolute and
unqualified ecclesiastical equality. The
union was to be completed so soon as
the General Conferences should ratify
the terms of agreement in the premises
and the terms Of agreement should be
carried out" In order to effect this rat
ifcation the Zion General Conference
adjourned to meet on the first Wednes-
day in May, 1872, in New York city, |
where its sessions would be convenient to !
those of the Methodist General Confer
ence, which is to assemble in Brooklyn |
on the same date. The Board of
Bishops of the African Zion Church |
have, however, since held meeting, and
the majority have decided to call their
General Conference together at Char
lotte, North Carolina, on the third
in June. This, Of course,
postpones any union of the two churches.
While colored men everywhere are ask
ing to have their claims to civil and even
social equality recognized and enforced
by law, it is strange thus to see colored
religious body, most of whose members
are poor, and without the means 10
educate their youth, refusing to
join a wealthy white denomination, pro-
Tossing the same principals, and willing
to receive them on equal terms. 1t is
said that the more intelligent and edu-
Gated clergy among the Zion Methodists
are in favor Of the fusion, but "a crust of
bread and liberty" seems to be the motto
Of the majority.
