THERE were over 100 fanatics in

ner denounced as ''gad-abouts" and ''do

courthouse to the temperance fanatics
the Saturday before the election, and we
learn that they claim that certain mat

The GeneraI conference.

The following article from the
Nashville Banners correspondent,
writing from Louisville, in relation
to the proposed re-union.of the two
branches of the Methodist church
in the United States, shows that
there are greater obstacles in the
way Of those who desire it, than
mere questions as to church
property, and the prejudices engen-
dered by former discussions and
eontests:-EDs. WIG & TRIBUNE.
"Fraternai relation is evidently
wished for by both parties, while l
do not think that either branch
contemplates organic union. While
it is true that in doctrine they are
a unit, OF nearly so, yet in Church
government they differ very wide

terms North and South to more
certainly express my ideas) regard
the Episcopacy as an office, while
the Church South regard it as an
order. Many Of the Church North
claim that they have a right to e.
leet Bishop at one session and
displace him at the next, while the
other branch say. Once a bishop al
ways a bishop unless for cause he
should be expelled from the COM
munion. The Southern Church
does not make attendance on class
meetings a test of membership,
while the Northern Church does
In the Northern Church they still
retain the six months probation
feature, which has been discarded
by the VI. E. Church, South 1t is
a condition of NJ. E. Church, that
the applicant for church member
ship shall promise to support aud
maintain the Federal Government,
while no such pledge is required
by the NJ. E. Church, South. In
the annual Conferences Of the
Church, South, there are four lay
delegates from each Presiding Ell
der's district, and in the general
Conference there is an equal num-
Der OF clerical and lay delegates,
while in the Northern Church there
are no lay delegates in their annu-
al Conferences, and only two lay
delegates from each annual Confer
ence in their general Conferences.
In addition to these there are other
minor points of difference in
Church government, from which il
will be seen that there are obsta-
cles in the way of organic union
which are almost insurmountablei

Advanced sheets of the Report
of the Bureau of Agriculture will
contain an interesting compilation
from the census reports of 1870,
from which is shown tho following
facts: In the table giving the shore
per head of wealth, of each State,
Tennessee is put down at 1895 SO.
The share per head is larger, pro-
portionately, in all the other States,
with the exception-Of-nine South
ern States. In the table giving the
amount OF taxation upon each ST.
900 (true value) of property, Ten
nessee stands Sc 79-the lowest of
all the States except Pennsylvania
and Delaware. Taxation per head
for Tennessee is 81 SO, lower than
any State in the Union except Flor
ida, Georgia, North Carolina and
Texas. A table in the repork
showing the decennial progress in
population, indicates an increase of
over thirteen per cent. in the last
ten years.
