METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.-The
Book CONCERN SCANbAL.--The General Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
will meet in regular qundrennel session at
Brooklyn on the 1st of May. This body is
the highest legislative and judicial power Of
the Church, in which every State and Terri
tory in the Union, and also Germany, Swtz-
erland, India and China, will be regularly
represented Canada, England, and Ireland,
will be represented by fraternal delegates.
For the first time in the history of the Church
the l;lity will be present to take part in the
deliberations Of the Conference. Many mat
tiers Of interest will engage its attention, in
Guiding the election of five or six bishops
to fill vacancies by death or disability !;
proposed change in the presiding elder
system; the question Of the pastoral
term, and the final settlement of the Book
Concern controversy. The book commit
tee have for some days been engaged III New
York in attempts to harmonize the majority
and minority reports. The former finds the
charges of fraud not sustained, and the latter
asserts that the gIuve<t allegations are sus-
tanned. and states that the course of Dr.. Lam
allan was eminently inconsistent with the
best interests of the Book Concern. The
New York papers say it is not probable that
the committee will agree to report to pre-
sent to the General Conference next week.
Ii is reported that an effort will be made to
try Dr. Lanahan for scandal. The total
number of delegates to the convention is
Asa, representing more than 100000 Of the
followers of Wesley.

MORE TESTIMONY. Our morning papers
have begun an earnest onslaught on the
cliques, rings, and packed ward meetings
that have SO long ruled our municipal affairs
to the great dissatisfaction of the people.
The Enqutrer' led of yesterday morning in
the attack, and the Dispatch follows suit to-
day, and advocates primary election as the
solution of all difficulties. It Is gratifying to
me to see that the evils which have grown up
in our city politics, and which have been SO
long and earnestly battered against In this
correspondence, have attracted the attention
of our local press at last. make no extrava-
gant assertion when say that If the cliques
and rings are allowed to dominate the Con-
sentative party, as they have done heretofore,
that Conservative defeat is certain. An in
dependent or Radical ticket will be elected.

DEATH OF Dir. KIDwELL.-Dr. Zedekiill
Kidwell, of Fairmont, died at his home in
that place at sis o'clock yesterday morning.
His father, Zedekiah kidwel, came from
Eastern Virginia to the Northwest about the
time the Northwestern Virginia turnpike
was made; was bridge-bullder, and built
several of the bridges on that foad. He had
several sons, all of whom, we believe, arc
now dead Victims of consumption except
one, who is Government clerk in Washing
ton city,.
In the ante-bellum times DR.. Kidwell took
a prominent part in the political af1airs Of
Northwestern Virginia. He was member
of Congress for two or three terms from this
district; was for many years member of the
Virginia Board of Public Works and of the
Virginia Legislature. He was always Dc
'mocrat, and personally popular with his
party. He sympathized with the rebellion,
and went off South early in 1861 and re-
manned about Richmond, in some official po-
sition most of the time, we believe. till the
end of the war, coming back to his old home,
after it was over, wrecked in his political for
tunes and broken down in health Wheel

CATS AND Docs IN R1cHMoND.--I venture
to assert that there are more dogs and eats in
Richmond than any other city in the United
States. The darkness acts upon them like
the warm sun upon the snakes aud other
reptiles of the country, or the near approach
Of election days on candidates for Office.
They begin to come forth and stir around.
Scarcely has the sun sunk to rest ere the by
ways and alleys send forth their occupants,
consisting of all. grades, from the ferocous
bull to the tiny terrier. Cats, also, are plen-
tiful, and their screLades are unusually noisy.
Richmond is destined to be second Cairo,
and the idolatrous worship which her citi-
zens have for dogs and cats, judging by the
number, is equal to that of the land of the
Pharaohs. Ii this city Is ever to be repre-
sented in the animal heaven, her tutelar saint
will be dog or clt.--Rtchmond letter IN

few days ago to the effect that Christians
had been subjected to fearful cruelties in ia
pan, but it now appears that said statements
were untrue, and had their origin in the con-
viction of party of counterfeiters.
