General Conference Of the Methodist
EpiscODai Cfeurci9 South.

The following are the chief points in Sat
urday's proceedings of the General Confer
| ence:
The Committee on EpiScopacy made {
lengthy report. The committee had care
fully reviewed the lives of the bishops, one
by Que, for the last four years, and founC
them bIamee.s, and recommending that the
Conference take some action expressing the
same. Adopted
Bishop Doggett expressed the thanks OF
the body. They had passed through Sc
we're ordeal, and to have this public quad
rennial recognition vas q source of grail
tude.
The committee recommended the adop-
ton of the following resolution
"Resolced, That we do not concur in the
recommendation to elect two additional
bishops, but tha, we request tue present bsh-
OBS to distribute their laborS, SO as to give
more time to our territory west Of the Mis-
sissippi river, especially i'll Texas and Cali
fornia.'
Mr.. Goodwin offered a substitute as fol-
lows:
"Resolped That this General Conference
elect two additional bishops during the pres
cnt session.
An animated discussion followed, most of
the western and southwestern members sup
porting the substitute, which was finally re-
jccled, the original report being adopted.
In answer 10 a memorial relating to the
matter, the committee did not believe, under
any proper administration, any one preacher
could be kept more than four years in one
charge, except in violation of Discipline.
The committee did not justify action Of this
kind. This awakened some discussion, but
the report was finally adopted.
A resolution instructing the Committee on
Books aud Periodicals to inquire into the
cause of the high price Of books Of the Pub
clearinghouse was adopted.
The Committee On Itineracy recommend
ed non-concurrence in the recommendation
in reference to the granting of license by
the district instead of the anuuaiconferences.
The report was adopted, and the reconsidera-
ton of the report moved and lost.
a resolution requesting the Committee on
Boundaries to make two conferences IN MIS-
souri, was referred TO the Committee on
Boundaries.

world.
There is very little discipline in the Bax-
ter "army"; they get drunk and fight each
other nearly as much as they fight the enemy.
The whole thing Is ridiculous farce, but
almost too bloody to be comicaI.
The BaXterites gained victory last night
of magnitude. They captured Brooks's fam.
lily carriage and coachman. They took the
arms away from the coachman and let him
90. This was true magnanimity.
No day during the week has been without
its murders. nor is it likely the killing pro.
cess will suddenly subside. Last night
heard several shots, but how much damage
they did do not know. -s'1
One difficulty a non-combatant expert.
ences here is in finding place to eat bis
meals away from danger. All the respecta.
bic eating-rooms are between the two hos.
tile camps, where adherents of both parties
are apt to meet and fight as we'll as eat. My
first meal in Little Rock was Interrupted by
4 desperate fight and a dead man not twenty
steps from me. The epicure who tarries
long at his meals on this happy hunting
ground, calling for quail on toast, and all
that sort of thing, may be treated to bullet
on skull before he gets through with it.
1t is generally conceded now that Brooks
will have to yacate the State House. 1t will
be the hardest blow the old man has ever re.
ceived during his long and checkered career.
He seems to have been born to bad luck.
While in the ministry he came very near
lacking but one vote, belieye-being made
Bishop. In the senatorial election two
years ago he came within few votes OF
reaching that coveted position. And now it
seems he must give up the Governorship to
which he was fairly elected beyond the
shadow of o doubt, but "counted out .
then by bis now fast friends, Clayton & Co.
What career what a man; what friends
be had, and what State for him to get into
anyway! :

4 DIS0ORDANT ORGAN

The leading representative in journal
ism of Western Democracy, the St. Louis
Republican, thinks that if Horace Greeley
were living and in one of his most indie
pendent latter-day moods, he certainly
could not fail to be surprised to read the up
turned opinions of the TT 6un6. 1t finds
in a recent number of that journal some
views expressed which are not at all in &C
cordance with the traditions of the ante
bellum days or the days Of Lincoln. ':It
els as outspoken as Democratic patent
''Outside'-all of which marks the change
(which has taken place in the times"
The premises of our contemporary are IN
doubtedly correct. The New York Iri-
bune to-day, so far as the Republican party
is concerned, is more of a Democratic Or
gan than the New York World; indeed, it
has in great measure taken the place of
that sheet in the Democratic thought and
affection; but that it has is no indication
whatever of "a change of the times" Mr..
Greeley's successor is a Democrat, and has
been Democrat for the last seven years.
He did not believe in Mr.. Lincoln and
fought hard to defeat his denomination. He
was opposed to Gen. Grant and the Repub-
ican party in 1868, and of course in 1872,
and, no matter who may be nominated, he
will be opposed to it in 1876.
IfMr. Greeley were alive and at his old
position at the head of the great journal
which he founded, we may be certain that
its tone and policy would be entirely differ
ent and the st. Louis Republican would
derive from its columns very little comfort
or consolation. He was Republican from
conviction, and although he permitted him
self to be made the tool of designing poll
ticians for short time, he would assuredly
have long since made all the reparation
possible to the great party and the great
principles he unwittingly attempted in
moment Of weakness and ambition to in
jure. That he would, as his successor has
done, be found apologizing for outrage and
murder in the South is too absurd to sup
pose possible or probable.

rary, in making these charges, alleges that
which is not true, and which has not a
shadow of foundation in truth. The South
is not more anxious for peace and harmony
and goodwill and brotherly love than the
North. The motto of the party inscribed
upon its banner in every campaign is '1et
us have peace" But the South will not
have it. There can be no peace in the
South unless the white Democrats of the
South are allowed to drive out every black
man; make solitude, and call it peace.
All that the Republican party asks is the
equality of all men before the law. But
that the South will not have; will not toll
crate. The Republican tree which has
overshadowed all the North and the East
and the West must not be permitted to
grow there. 1t is a noxiOus, deadly weed,
and must berooted out. There must be only
one party in the South-the party which
fought for slavery, died for slavery, and at
tempted to destroy the Union to maintain
slavery. As long as the South is of this
idea and faith, just so long will the strug-
gle go on. Misrepresentation like that
copied above, from our Louisville cotem-
porary, only tends to increase the bitter
ness, the hatred and the luminosity of the
strife; to prevent and postpone that peace
full consummation for which we all so de-
yOutlv hone

IT Is WELL KNOWN that the overwhelm-
ing majority of the white men of the
South are either incapable of or are too
lazy to work. They rely on the blacks to
perform all the labor required in tilling the
soil or the manufacture of products of any
kind. This latter fact should teach them
that their reliance will before long prove to
be broken reed unless they change their
treatment Of the laboring classes. En-
couragcment, education and opportunities
to better their condition are what the blacks
require, instead of the lash and the re-
volver. White Leagues, Tax Unions and
kindred organizations serve to demoralize
the labor Of the section, and at the same
time do not advance the morals or integrity
of the sO-called master Spirits

old Confederate flag; but they have SO
nearly approached that reorganization by
marshaling their hosts under the banners
of the Ku-Klux, the White Leagues and
the Tax Unions that the conviction ire
sistibly forces itself upon us of their unre-
pentant determination to accomplish in the
Union what they have failed to accom-
plish outside of it. Everywhere we hear
of this determination. 1t comes to us in
every imaginable shape. 1t finds breath in
the mouthings of Southern stump orators,
who claim that the South is for Southern
ers only" and that "white men should be
governed by white men only" but it finds
its deepest and blacklist development in the
horrible record of midnight murders and
brutal assassination. In plain words, the
ghost of the Confederacy has been invoked
to appear again and lead its former follow
ers in a red carnival of blood.
We say, in answer to this srraignment,
Justice demands that an example shall be
made of some of their most notorious lead
ers, to warn them that the peace and quiet
of the country cannot be disturbed in the
interest of real or imaginary wrongs with
out the natural consequence of deserved
punishment. We cannot afford to tenn
porize with these people any longer, and,
as we have repeatedly said, the great mass
of law-abiding and peaceable people in the
South owe it to their own good name, to
the integrity Of their citizenship, and the
honesty of their professions of loyalty to
lend the authorities a helping hand when
ever the attempt shall be made. "Some-
body's neck ought to be broken" was the
remark of leading Southern Republican
in our presence few days ago; but as we
have explained, the class Of which he is an
acknowledged representative are not just
now in condition to argue the question
with cool and deliberate judgment New
ertheless, the idea that some punishment
is necessary, as matter of precaution for the
future, is gradually gaining ground outside
of their ranks, and it will require but
little more provocation TO enlist others in
the support of the same extreme measures.
In the meantime let the local and State
authorities do their duty, and do it sternly.
If they fail, either because they are unable
to find juries unprecedented enough to
bring in just verdicts, or for any other
reason, the fault will not rest with them.
Let the law take its course, and no limo
cent man will have reason to complain.
Let US talk about mercy when punishment
impends, and then if we can forget the
merciless deeds which go to make up the
groundwork of this new rebellion, we
may be induced again to throw the mantle
of forgiveness and forgetfulness over a
record which stamps the pages of Ameri-
can history with an infamy only equaled
by the excuses of the French revolution.

Mr.. J. AMBLER SMITH, in a campaign
speech at Richmond last Wednesday night,
made, for some reason or another, an at
tack upon Supervising Architect Mulleu.
He declared that Congress had to stop
appropriations for public buildings be-
"cause they were afraid Mullett's ring
"would steal all the money" When Mr..
Smith makes a speech he should endeavor
not to stultify himself and to tell the truth.
Congress did not stop appropriations for
public buildings; on the contrary, it gave
Mr.. Mullett very large ones, and provided
further that they should not lapse, so that
the work might not be interrupted. Mr..
Smith is entirely too imaginative young
gentleman.

FANNING TIE ERBERS.

Under the pretence of harmonizing the
differences between the Northern and
Southern people, the opposition press, al
most without an exception, is and has been
for the last seven years endeavoring to per-
petuate the hatred and enmity which exist
or are supposed to exist between the two
sections. This may not be intentional upon
their part, but whether it is or not there
can be no doubt that such is the result of
their teaching. For instance, here is the
Louisville Courier Journal q paper that
sometimes aims to look beyond mere ex-
pediency and to rise above party, preaching
to its following in the following fashion
There is going to be no peace in the South
Gas matters are moving; none at all; no
''hope Of it. The Radicals may take our
''word for that. If they are patriotic and
'honest they will save the South from an
''archy, and the country from the conse-
''quences Of Southern anarchy, by ceasing
'their iEcendiary talk, and, as thew have
'the power, 90 to work upon a measure
(which shall dissipate the farce of free
government they are enacting in the
South; upon q measure disqualifyinp
''every white man in the South from cfti.
''zenship; upon a measure confscating all
'the property Of the whites; upon meas
cure parceling it out among the blacks;
organizing at once an army big enough to
''enforce their DEGREES. This is the mean
cling Of their windy malignance. if it means
anything. This is the direction of their
'policy, us far as it has any direction.
We deny that such is the purpose or the
policy Of the Republican party of the North.
1t is not endeavoring to confscate the
property Of white Southern men; it is not
endeavOring to disqualily them from citi-
zenship; it is not attempting to parcel out
their property among the blacks. Where
does cur contemporary find the proof OF it?
Thaddcus Stevens alone twice favored a
general confscztion Of the estates of those
who were in rebellion, but the party which
he led in almost everything else declined
70 follow him. 1t could not have lived
month in the North upon such platform
and with such a purpose Our cotempo-

THE effort of Frank Moses. who, through
the most inscrutable designs of Providence,
is allowed to disgrace the office of Governor
of South Carolina, TO attract attention to
his waning career by making demand for
troops to aid in quelling the recent disturb
ance at Edgefeld, is simply laughable. 1t
is true that riots did occur as he represents,
and that g number of Georgia rowdies
crossed the river into South Carolina for
the purpose Of aiding their white brethren
to put down a bloody negro instruction"
but it does not appear that Moses exerted
himself, asst was his duty to do, in any at
tempt to quell the disturbance with the
Legitimate resources at his command. 1t is
a great pity that he did not find it neces-

TWO WEDDINGS.

Out of SO small thing as Miss Grant
wedding some months ago and the mar
rage of one of the daughters of General
Sherman this week some of our cotempo-
raries are endeavoring to create trouble and
dissension. 1t is argued that because Gen
ersl Grant saw fit to have his daughters
marriage solemnized in as private way as
possible, the near friends of the family
only being present, General Sherman, to
show his disapprobation Of the course of
the President in other matters, has deter
mined to invite all the world to his little
affair. A journal supposed to be friendly
to General Sherman, in commenting upon
the matter, says: '1t singularly happens
''that the grand Sherman Fitch wedding is
"to take place on the eve of the departure
"Of the Generals household for st. Louis.
"This doubtless will be held by many peo-
"ple to be Sherman's way of having the
last word, and of showing the White
blouse that some things can be done as
"well as others"
The injudicious friends of General Sher-
man who print statements of this character,
and who indulge in idle gossip of similar
nature, evidently have not the sense to see
in what false and humiliating position
they place him by attributing to him such
mean and petty motives in an event OF so
much importance to him as a father and
man. We are confident that he Is very far
from entertaining them, and that when he
determined, if he did determine at all, to
have public ceremonial, he had no more
thought Of the Grant-Sartoris wedding in
his mind than he had of any other event
in the past. If as it is reported, General
Sherman does not feel as friendly toward
the President now as he did year or two
or ten. years ago, he is too large man to
show that unfriendliness in the way indi-
Gated. All that is said on this subject is,
we are certain, only the mere idle gossip
of lot of people who have nothing else to
talk about. The whole business is too
small for the hero of Atlanta.

THE journals opposed to Senator Car
penter and General Butler are endeavOring
to make point against those gentlemen
arising out of the Kellogg check book and
correspondence. The charge is that they
were paid Ostensibly for legal services, but
in reality to influence their action in Con-
gress. When it is recollected that they
were both the bitter opponents of the Kel-
logg government last winter the assaults
upon them fall to the ground. The report
of an interview with General Butler upon
the subject in our telegraphic news, ex-
plains the whole transaction so far as he is
concerned.

PARTY DIVISIONS in France have at last
assumed definite forms. The Republicans
invariably place a candidate in the field
when an election occurs, and that candi-
date is generally opposed by two others;
one an Orleanist, and the other Bona
partist. Ifthe Orleanists and Bonapartists
would combine they would be able to

THE so-called compromise announced by

have no representation in the election
board; but he silenced them by offering to
appoint men from the Democratic party to
