THE COLORED METHODIST
CHURCH.-Rev. G. HINT the pastor
in charge OF this Church here is an
energetic and exceedingly Jealous
cololed gentleman who has persist
entity refused to allow his church to
be made a political engine and he
waged an increasing warfare with
rascalllty in our parish and State
government, on this account he and
his church have fallen into disre.
pute with the politicians of the cor
!npt class and they are now and
have been engaged in the attempt
to break down both Mr.. Hunt and
his church. He has, however, a
rye number OF supporters among
the honest and intelligent colored
people who have now issued an ad
dress calling upon our liberal cit;-
Zens to assist them by donations of
funds for the general purpose of
the church. We hope our citizens
will respond literally to the call of
Mr.. Hunts congregation for We
owe to him q large measure of our
success in securing an honest gov
ornment in this parish.

to prevent this and like state Of things,
and the act Of May 81, 1870, with amend-
ments. was passed to enforce its provisions
The object Of both being to guarantee to
all citizens tho right to vote and to pro-
tect them in the free enjoyment Of that
right.
Enjoined by the Constitution "to take
care that the laws be faithfully executed"
and convinced by undonbted evidence that
violations of said act had been committed,
and that a widespread disregard of it was
contemplated, the proper officers were in-
structed to prosecute the offenders, and
troops were stationed at convenient points
to aid these officers if Necessary, in the per
formance of their official duties. Com
plants are made of this interference by
Federal authority, but if said amendment
and act do not provide for such iuterfer-
ence under the circumstances as above
stated, then they are without meaning,
force or effect, ana the whole scheme of
colored enfranchisement is worse than
mockery and little better than crime.
Possibly Congress may find it due to
truth and Justice to ascertain by means of
. committee, whether the alleged wrongs
to colored citizens for political purposes
are real or tho report s thereof were manu-
factnred for the occasion.
The whole number Of troops in the States
of Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, South
Carolina. North Carolina, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Arkansas Mississippi. Indiana and
Virginia at the time Of the election, were
4O62. This embraces the garrison Of the
forts from the Oelswscs to the Gull.

THE BARTLETT CONvEkTION,

The conservative and liberal citizens
of Shelby county yesterday met the
Democrats in convention, presided over
by Mr.. A. B. Haynes, at the courthouse
in Bartlett, and, after session Of a few
hours, characterized in the main by a
spirit of compromise, agreed to make
the canvass in August next up-
der the Democratic name and
banner. Rarely in the history of this
county has so large a number of repre-
sentative men assembled within its
limits, and seldom has it been given to
newspapers anywhere to report one bet
termanaged, wherein there was so great
avariety of opinion to harmonize. There
were men present who represented every
phase Of political sentiment between
Liberal Republicanism and Democracy.
and yet, all being actuated by a
determination for unity in the public
interests, the proceedings were success
fully conducted to close without any
wrsngling, and through debate which
lasted but little over an hour. Gentle
men who have hitherto differed with
the APPEAL and the Democratic party,
were conspicuous in their efforts for
unity and harmony, and we point with
pride to the speeches of the Democrats
foremost on the occasion as indicating
how generously they met our now polit-
icsl friends, the conservatives and lib
erals. 1t was a real love-feast-the re-
suit Of a spirit we will endeavor to fcs-
ter, and will not willingly see
die; and we feel safe in asserting that
the result, presented in the resolutions
adopted, afford assurances of success
otherwise very doubtful in the contest
with the Radicals in August next. All
voters of Shelby opposed to Radical
ism are now unit, standing upon a
common platform for a common pur-
pose, and supported by the Aualanche,
Register, Ledger and APPEAL, have only
to be true to their resolutions, and nomi-
nate the best men regardless of creed,
nationality, race or past party affilia-
tiOns, to sweep the county next fall.

JACKSON, Miss, February l4.-In the
senate to-day, after a hot and lengthy debate
the house resolution censuring Senator AL
corn, and asking his resignation was tabled
by NoJe Of twenty-four TO four. Lieutenant
Governor Davis took the floor and made
a lengthy speech in opposition to the
resolution. he said Aicorn was the ablest
man IN the party. He had stood by IL in its
darkest days, and was now working in behalf
ofthe levee bill which would do more good for
the State than the fifty-six men in the house
who voted for the resolution could do in their
whole lives. Furlong, Gleed, Gray, Parker
Price and Sullivan, also begged the senate not
10 dlshonor itself by the adoption of such a
resolution. The four voting for the adoption
OF the resolution We're, Little, of Monroe
smith, OF Claiborne, Albright and Shirley, OF
Chickssaw.
In the house the following new bills were.
introduced: Authorizing the construction OF
street railroad in Corinth; TO pay county as
SCISSORS the same amount as paid by the State;
regulating fees and salaries; authors
izing the levee commissioners TO inn
mills on the dollar on assessed property OF the
district, instead Of one cent a pound ON cot
ton and ten cents an acre on land; that State
taxes hereafter be paid in United States cur
rency. Other bills unimpoTtant
In the senate the house bill appropriating
nfty thousand dollars to defray the expenses
OF the legislature, was so amended that no ap-
preparation should be made for the present
session for more than seventy days, and re-
turned TO the house.
The house refused to concur in the amend
ment.
Both houses adjourned to Wednesday next.

all citizens and strangers are requested to de-
pOsit in some place of safe keeping their

are warned, and should see that their houses
are left in charge of some person who will
protect the same in their absence.

but he wanted something done for those who

dates whom he believed to be honest, and who

COMMITTEE ON PERMANENT ORGAN
COMMITTEE oN RESOLUTIONS.

General n. B. Forrest said the next business
before the convention was the appointment
OF committee on resolution. He would
therefore move that a committee of one from
each civil district In the county and one
from each ward of the city of Memphis be
appointed on such committee.
Colonel NJ. ID. l.. Stewart, while not opposing
the motion of General Forrest, thought IL
somewhat impraetlcable, as all the civil dis
triets in the county, and perhaps all the
wards Of the city of Memphis were not repre-
sented in the convention
General Forrest said that in his resolution
ne simply meant to appoint members of the
committee from districts and wards repre-
sented in the convention.
Colonel Stewart moved that the secretary
read the call for the meeting of the conven-
ton. Carried; and
Secretary Notebooks read the following call,
which had been published in the APPEAL,
and other Memphis newspapers, several days
previous to the meeting:

FRUIT PROSPECTS ON THE PoToMAc. The
editor of the Richmond State Journal whose
farm is in Fairfax county, on the Potomac
write. that the peaches are generally Killed 10
all this region except in orchards located along
the immediate bank of the river All other
fruit is unharmed. So far as present appear
snces indicate the crop of cherries, apples and
pears will be large. Some varieties OF peaches
are killed totally, others show scattered set
ting, while few are thick'y set. The expert
enoe here, as elsewhere, shows the great value
of locations adjacent to water for peaches. 1t
has been found, by careful observation, that
the peach will bear one year in three more near
the water than at distance. Eastern Virginia
abounds in splendid sites for peach orchards,
and thousands of fortunes are yet to be made
here growing these delicious fruits. live lose
little fruit the present season by frost, never
mind, the trees will grow the better for rest
and make it up next year.

No bill in regard to the Bankrupt Law has
passed both Houses of Congress this session.
Early in the session the House passed bill
repeating the present Bankrupt Law, but the
Senate refused to concur, and confined its &C.
ton to making several amendments. The bill
passed by the Senate went back to the House,
and there still slumbers in the Judiciary Com.
mittee. As it is getting late in the session and
there is much difference ofopuion between the
Senate and House, it is not considered proba-
BILE that any bill will pass.

Reformed Episcopal Church.

A large congregation attended the services
of the Reformed Episcopal Church yesterday,
held at Lincoln Hall on each Sabbath evening.
The pastor, Rev. VIM. Mcclure, before an
nouncing his text, explained the prominent
points in which the prayer-book of the Reform
ed Church differs from that of the Protestant
Church as regards baptism, the Lords Sup.
per, absolutiop, &c. The word altar also could
not be found in the New Testament as applied
to table on which the Lords Supper was
set, &C., SO. They totally condemned the cere-
mony of the confession of sins to priest and
the obtaining of forgiveness through him. The
Offering of prayers to the Virgin Mary or to
any of the Saints, they claimed, was also un-
sanctioned by the Scriptures, as we'll as the
doctrine of Purgatory, where sinners were said
to 90 for time, and by prayer and repentance
finally entered into the kingdom of Heaven
Rev. MIR. Mcclure preached an able and 10
structive sermon from St. PAUL Epistle to the
Hebrews, xii, ,: Looking unto Jesus, the
Author and Flnisher of our faith; who, for the
joy that was set before Him, endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the
right hand of the throne of God. - Washing
