JUDGING from what a Georgia paper
says, navigation on the Savannah river
must be in decidedly primitive state. 1t
seems that q steamer got "snAgged' in the
river some time ago. but they stuffed some
rags and things into the hole and she man
well, it was concluded to make another trip,
without repairing, and how many more
does not appear, until one day she got on
sand bar, but the captain pulled her OF and
tied her up for the night. About four
o'clock she gave sudden l1rch, and by the
time the crew could get ashore she went
down. sit is supposed" gravely says the
paper. "that the rags worked out of the
hole"

THE last number of the Freeman, Lon
don, says the great struggle in Great Brit
tant Nonconformists, who uphold the au-
thority of the one Msster-Christ Jesus
the Lord-and regard the Sacred Scriptures
which each man has right to interpret for
himself, as the one written standard of faith
and practice; Rationalists, who acknowl-
edge no authority higher than their own
reason, and who look within for the light
by which they are to find the way Of wis
dom in which men should walk; Roman
Catholics, who accept the Pope as divine
teacher, from whose decisions there is no
appeal. The conflict, adds the Freeman,
will not be between Anglieanism and Ro-
msnism, as the former has long helped the
latter.

On assembling this morning the bill to
reopen the war claims of 1872 was brought
forward before the House.
Mr.. Terry, Of Virginia, explained the
bill by which it appears that both the prin-

interest were wrong there still is a claim
for $3.50, 800 due Virginia, Tennessee,
Maryland, North Carolina and other
States.
4 The bill was opposed by Donan and Pc
tiers, the latter saying if this was allowed,
Massachusetts would be entitled to $780,
900, which would go to the European rail-
road company to which corporation Massa-
chusetts had assigned its interest in the
matter.
{ Messrs. Coburn and Moore opposed the
bill. MessTs. Speer, Harris and Platt sup

H.: A meeting of prominent Liberal Re
publicans and Democrats was held here to-
night which Gov. Palmer, Hon. E. M.

ed to completely reorgsnize the party. A

is chairman, is to prepare an address reaf-
frming the Cincinnati platform, but abso-
lutely in favor of an adjustment of the tar
if to q revenue basis. The address will

particularly railroads, and denounce corrup-
ton in every form. 1t is claimed that 2OO,-
900 farmers will support such an organi-

neither Kitchen nor Hycox, who were
working for Bogy, got any money from
him. He denied any connection between
his transactions and those of Bogy. he no
more anticipated Bogy's election than he
expected to be struck by lightning. He
feared breaking up of the caucus, ex-
pecting a contingency would arise when
the election would come to dead lock and
a compromise man would be put up, and
hoped he would be that man, in much the
same way as Woodson was nominated for
Governor.

Methodist Revival.

The M. E. Church here, during the
meeting just closed, has had such a
revival as it has rarely or never before
had in this place. The number of ac-
cessions to the Church was fortv-two;
and the number of conversions about
the same. Among the accessions are
many of the leading men and women
of our town, and some of the most
promising of the younger people
The meeting was conducted from be-
ginning to end by the resident minister,
Rev. HOMER J.. SMITH, without the assis,
tance of any other clergyman. We
speak only the general sentiment Of this
community in saying that, in addition
to being one o: the most talented
preachers, Rev SMITH is unouestionahly
one of the most efficient Pastors in the
Pittsburgh Conference He has the
rare faculty of winning the esteem
and warm attachment of those inside
and outside his Church, which adds
largely to his usefulness.
