I. The weather was yesterday very fair and
hne, and the services were well and nnme-
rously attended at nil the churches OF the
city. There was q specially large ,congrega.
tlon at the Washingt Methodist
Episcopal church, where in the, morning
Bishop Paine preached from the text to be
found In Hebrews, vii, rs. At night
Rev. j. n. Duncan, d. D., preached nm ex-
ceedingly able and eloquent sermon from the
ID chapter Of II. Corinthians, 14th verse.
Some OF the ladies Of the congregation were
SO much mosed by the earnest eIoquence and
pathos Of the speaker that they gave vent to
their feelings In real old.fashloted shouts:
Of the other Richmond preachers, DIR. Lee
preached at Market-Street church at night
from Acts, I'd chapter, LIST, I'd, Sd,
and 4th verses; DR.. Edwards preached at
the Tabb-Street Presbyterian church from
/. Corinthians, I'd chapter; and DR.. Gran-
berry from the words of Christ, The very
hairs Of your head are numbered"
Rev. DR.. A. L. Bledsoe will preach tonight
at the Washiugton-Street Methodist church on
the text, How l Became Methodist"
Rev. r. n. Sledd is announced to preach at
Markct-Street church, but has, learn, been
excused. Rev. DR.. j. e. Edwards is an
nounced to preach there tomorrow night.
a singular and interesting caSe, now be-
fore the Conference, and undecided, Is that
Of the Rev. j. L. Garrett, of the Princess
Anne circuit, who was a gallant Confederate
colonel, and who is charged with unbecomiDg
conduct in regard to love affair in which
he took more interest than suited some Of the
parties in the case. 1t seems that Judge
Whitehurst, one of Mr.. Garrett's own con-
gregation and official body, was engaged to q
young lady whose hand was sought also by q
friend Of Mr.. CARROTS, and the suit of the
latter Mr.. Garrett Is accused of furthering
through his efforts and influence to tbat;ex-
tent that he spoke Ill Of Judge Whitehurst.
Other complications followed, and complaint
was made to the Conference by Rev. p. A..
Peterson, the presiding elder. There is no
charge of immortality, and the penalty, If the
charge against Mr.. Garrett is sustained, will
only be censure by the Bishop. 80
