or Inadvertently omitted the following in
connection with our assumption that the
course pursued by Mr. Greeley in relation to
jeff Davis was that of true craftsmanship.
If omitted through mistake we would like to
have it appear, a. it gives a reason for the
hope within Us. We said in substance as
follows: " But we have claimed the act of
Mr.. Greeley as one of true craftsmanship.
Let us see. Sherman's slceep to the sea and
Grants persistent hang-dog fight conquered
the South physically, but not like a God.
The smouldering fires Of secession vengeance
are still burning and no arbitrary power can
ever extinguish them. We must have a
higher order Of conquest before the North
and South can ever be reunited The
North must convince the South that She is
not her enemy. She must without arrogance
endeavor to enlighten her intellect and
quicken her moral sense, and in the language
Of Gerritt Smith, She must win the heart OF
the South before we can ever have national
fraternity. How is this desirable result to
be brought about. Not by UindicticeB
adding fuel to the fires of remorse. Is it
asking too much of the North that she be
scrupulously just, patient, forbearing and
merciful to the South? Were we not, with
her verify guilty of our brothers blood
which did 50 much toward demoralizing her
moral sense as well as our own? We remem-

was the wisest and best that could have beer
pursued. Mr.. Greeley and Gerritt Smith car

ance OF unjust and excessive Southern war
claims against the Government which would
heavily increase taxation and seriously i'm
pair the national credit.
| ResOired, We pledge ourselves anew, in
this, our first State Convention for two years,
to the great leading aims Of the Republican
party, namely; the most complete liberty
and the most exact equality of rights, under
the law for all men throughout the Repub-
lie; the promotion of education, intelligence
and thrift of every class, and especially OF
the laboring class of our population; the
most strict observance of the public faith
both toward our creditors by the payment of
the national debt, and toward our soldiers
and sailors by prompt and generous pro
vision for them, their widows and orphans :;
the preservation of peace so far as consistent
with national honor and security the cul-
tlvation of relations of confidence and good
will with all, from the old nations of the
East to the savage tribes Of the West faith
fulness and economy in the administration
of the laws, and promptitude and thorough
ness in the correction and reform of all
abuses in any department of the public ser
vice.
Ex-Governor Fletcher introduced a resolu-

The Methodist Conference.

The General Conference of the Methodist
Church, now in session at Brooklyn, as the
New York Tribune observes, eXcites peculiar
interest from the fact that it is the first time
that the lay and clerical members Of that
body have been brought into equal represen-
tation in its government So far the union
appears to be harmonious and cordial.
Whether it will tend to the development OF
higher motives or more forcible action in the
church remains to be proved. The Metho-
dis is, and has always been, one of the most
healthy and powerful of religious bodies,
although it has heretofore offered the strange
anomaly of a class wholly democratic in its
creed and habits of thought, submitting to a
government more aristOcratic and arbitrary
than that of any other sect, even of the
stately Church of England, from which it
sprang. 1t is not likely, therefore, since the
temper of the Methodists has remained so
admirable and their Christian work so united
while under the yoke, that it will not be
more effective now when all the members of
the body have not only been given their task
but a share in its control.
The point to which we look with interest
in this Conference is the action it may take
upon the practical, vital movements of reform
belonging to to-day. Among the committees
we note that upon the work for Freedmen
and Indian Missions with especial satisfac-
ton; but there are other reforms which call
for equal attention. Both Episcopalians and
Friends in their last authoritative utteranceS
as churches took hold boldly of the subject
of woman'S work and temperance. The
MethOdSts, who usually are first to come to
a hand to hand fight with any of the live
Satans about them, ought not to shut their
eyes to these present foremost issues IN social
life. They have already waged long war
fare against drunkenness, and they should
be first to perceive the new movement by
which that destroyer of our national life Is
threatened in the flank. Women have always
been admitted to a share in their Christian
work so fully that the lay representation at
least ought to be alive to her present needs
and claims, and the imminent perilS to which
she has exposed herself in the manner Of
pressing those claims There are other
problems, too freely, perhaps, discussed by
the secular press which il behOoyeS religious
bodies to grapple with, and that promptly,
bringing to the work all the innocence OF
the dove or wisdom Of the serpent with
which they may be endowed. If the gift OF
Gods grace and the daily service of Christ
fit a man OF a church for more helpful work
in this world or any other, than their irreli-
gious brothers. they should not be chary in
meeting any evil which Is a matter of moral
life and death TO humanity.

a BOLD BANK RoBBERY.-On the Doth pIt
five mounted men rode into Columbia, Adair
County, Kentucky, and having dismounted
at Deposit Bank, two with pistols in their
hands held the horses, while the othar three
with drawn reyolyers, entered the bank
Four disarmed gentlemen, including the
Cashier, were within. One OF the intruders
demanded the keys of the safe and another
attempted to shoot James Glrnett, bank
employee, but be struck up the robbers
weapon, although his hand was burned bv
the explosion. All the bank officers escaped
except the Cashier, who. under fearful
threats, refused TO unlock the safe He was
shot dead and the marauding party pillaged
all the valUables outside the safe, which thew
were unable to unlock. While this was pro-
ceeding the party outside fired their pistols
in all directions, driving everybody off the
street. The raid was SO unexpected it caused
the town to seem panic stricken until the
robbers mounted their horses and dashed
away. The citizens Immediately organized
and started in pursuit, and at last accounts
were gaining rapidly on the fugitives.
The amount stolen Is not supposed to be
large. Great excitement prevails in the
county, and the robbers will probably be
lynched if captured.
These gentlemanly brigands must have
taken lessons at St. Adams few years since,
or else they have been reading up that famous

Above the Clouds,
\ INTERESTING NARRATIVE.

~
Mr.. Robert j. Bell, an Assistant Observer
at the United States Signal station on the
summit OF Mount Washington, writes to the
Philadelphia Bulletin an account of his
everyday experience above the clouds. He
was detailed TO take the place of William
Stevens who died at the station in MID win
ter with no friend near him save his solitary
companion, Sergeant Hearne. party OF
stalwart mountaIneers climbed to the summit
aud took the body down for burial. They
placed it in a box fitted TO runners, which
was permitted To slide down the mountain
side, the men holding on TO ropes attached
TO the rear to regulate the motion and direct
the course. Mr. Bell says
d" We occupy the depot of the Mountain
Railroad, IN which we have two rooms par
tltioned off item by elve) securely chained
to the rocks, so that the wind may not blow
US away. One re use as a kitchen and din
Ing room, and the other as parlor, bed and
dressing room. We also occupy the latter
rs our Office in which We keep our barome-
ters and Geographic instruments, the wire
connecting with LittleJon, y. Il, by which
means we are not wholly excluded from CIV
ilzation, although [ must admit that visitors
are very few-not one since my glorious
, ascent.
We generally supply ourselves in Sep
tember with canned provisions sufficient L
last throughout the winter, reckoning at the
same time 70 give our visitors a squart me Al
when they come Our time we must occupy
chiefly by reading and studying, Tor our out
door amusements are very scarce. Ia case
we do have the pleasure of going outside u
ramble amid the snow and ice on the rocks,
we are obliged to take advantage of the same,
and exercise ourselves by hauling ice, frost
work and snow, SO that we may procure the
water necessary for our cooking and drink
ing purposes, as the weather Is very severe
on the summit, the thermometer since nv
arrival having been most of the time below
zezO, and the wind At 4 hurricane.
- | Will give you a small idea how we felt,
the thermometer standing tOrty-nIne degre. :
below zero, and the wind raging at a hun
bred and twenty miles per hour. The cold
weather which have reference TO occurred
on the 5th OF March, and the mode we adopt
ed TO keep ourselves warm was 10 bring al
the coats and overcoats into roquIsItiOn dur
ing the day, with two large coal tires conun-
of our little bed (Which IS not bad one.
with covering enough TO sufOcAte any man
IN ordinary winter weather, and then | must
confess we suffered with the cold. Ii was
the coolest time that my comrade and | ever
experienced. We do not mind during the
day the thermometer standing ten below
zero, If the wind does not blow too hard
ior then We can have little holiday by 90
ing outside But at night, unless the wind
is blowing at least sixty miles an hour, we
cannot sleep well, for We are too accustomed
to hurricanes.
