Rev.. Dr.. Abby, OF the Mississippi Con-
ference, who is the agent of the General
Conference of the M. E. Church, South,
to prosecute its claims before Congress,
for compensation for it's property taken
during war, made a statement Of his pro-
gress. He said hehad thought, when tax
en- from his circuittwo years ago, to at
tend to this matter, that it would merely
require visit to Washington to- start it
and probably return there to settle it up,
but he had found that things are not done
that way in the National Capitol
1t required time and close attention. This
was the first time he had met the Confer
snce, organized, and he would make to- it
statement in the way of a report to the
effect that this matter was in the hands of
Congress and not under the control of any

ton with Conference only, voted for the
clerical delegates, and the lay delegates on
ly voted for lay delegates. The lay dele
gates to be entitled to vote must be Is
years of age, and have been members of the

dition of the house, will there be any OBJ
lection to the lay delegates going in the
basement to vote.

WESLEYAN FEMALE INSTITUTE.
TheReport of the Wesleyan Female In
stitute was received, showing that notwith-
standing the money panic, and the preva-
lence of yellow fever, in districts where
much Of its patronage comes from, the In
stitute had last year 100 boarding pupils
from States ranging from Maryland to
Texas, and about the same number of day
scholars as In former years. The Institute
has corps Of 20 professors and teachers,
and the report says the pupils have ad-
vanced with rapidity in the s'sanctifed
learning" to be gained there. The Insti-
tute, which is under the patronage Of Bal
timore Conference, has not cost that body
one cent for its maintenance, and now
asks, in view Of the increased demand for
room, for chapel Taereport was referred
to the Educational Committee, and that
portion of it asking for chapel was re-
ferred to special comm ittee, composed Of
Rev. Messrs. Poisal, Dice aud Carter, and
Rev. Messrs. I. w. Carter, VIM. Mines,
Frank Hereford and 4. W. s. Hough.
ExAslINATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF

The reports of examinations of minis

Rev, Gotlieb Meyer, a German, was cleo

ports Bishop Doggett admonished the CON-

Of ministers preparing skeleton sermons

will always be demand for the manufactured
article. We have waterpower in abundance.
If Northern manufacturers can pay trans
portation and insurance on the raw material,
and manufacture it on the frozen streams OF
New England, and realize handsome profits,
WHY cannot the Southern manufacturer who
can purchase it at his very door without the
expense of freight and insurance charges,
compete successfully with Northern manufac-
turers? Our water powers are as good, the
streams seldom frozen, and our climate is
much better we can work more days in the
year; labor can be had cheaper. Besides
making large profits on the capital invested,
YOU will give employment to our poor women
and children, and the cost of manufacturing,
instead of enriching men thousand miles
away, will be spent with our own merchants
and tradesmen, and thus improve the condi-
tion of our State.
I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do not

is made to pass from one apartment to the
other, connecting a clock in sixteen business
wings of the establishment, and regulating
them with such precision, that the whole of
them are always pointing to the same second
of time. In another room was machine, ex-
ceedingly simple, for detecting light gold coins.
A row of them dropped one by one upon
spring scale. If the piece Of gold was of the
standard weight, the scale rose to certain
height, and the coin slid off upon the side of
the box if less than the standard, it rose
little higher, and the coin slid upon the other
side. l asked the weigher what was the aver
age number of light coins that came into his
hands, and, strangely enough, he said it was
question he was not allowed to answer.

pounds sterling in this room," the officer re: re-
marked to me-; "will you take little of it :"

he handed me million sterling Give million
ofdolars, which received with many thanks
for his liberality, but he insisted on my de-
posting it with him again.. as it would be
hardly safe to carry so much money into the
street. I very much fear that I shall never
see that money again. In the vault beneath
the door was director and the cashier count
ing the bags of gold, which men were pitching
down to them, each bag containing thou
sand pounds sterling just from the mint.
This world of money seemed to realize the ia.
bles of Eastern wealth, and gave me new and
strong impressions of the magnitude of the
business done here, and the extent of the re-
lations of this one institution to the commerce
of the world.

CHAPTER II.

/ believe when Mr.. fuckers clerk broke
the thread of my discourse l was making a
calculation. 1 had told how the following
persons realized profits on me:
/. The Raleigh cotton factor.
g. The railroads and steam lines.
g. The Baltimore merchant.
T. The insurance agent.
s. The Northern railroads.
G. The Northern insurance companies.
T. The manufacturer.
8. The wholesale merchant.
g. The railroads on return freight.
TO- The insurance men on the return risk
II. The retail dealer.
These parties all show deep interest in
me, and wish. to say that | entertain no un-
kind feeling toward any of them. The pro-
fits they realized from me were legitimate and
proper, but feel very kindly toward the
man who raised me, and when consider that
he paid all the accumulated profits, added to
the original cost, do not wonder that he
dresses poorly, and is hard pressed to support
his family. l have travelled around and listen
ed to calculating men talk, aud l intend to
whisper word in his ear through the Crescent.
What l want to say to him is this:
Raise your own hogs. Don't buy Western
bacon at high price when cotton is liable to
be at a low price. Sow an acre or two in clo-
yer. 1t will save corn and enable you to feed
your teams better, and it will cost you less
than Northern oats and hay. 1t will enable
you to feed your COWS better, and they will
give more and better milk. Your calves will
grow larger and make finer cattle. Raise
your own corn and wheat. Don't plant all
cotton. Ifyour land is poor SOW peas and
improve it. Save all your barnyard manure,
compost all your vegetable mould, and don't
buy worthless fertilizers.
And when get through whispering to the
farmer, l want to say word or two to the
capitalists
Cotton must be raised in the South There

sg~ The extent Of the panic Of last Septem.
Der is graphically portrayed in the compared
exhibits Of commercial statistics for 1872 and
1873. The amount of liabilities of those who
failed in the former year is estimated at $121,-
900, 1000, and for the latter $2S0,000,000. Five
thousand one hundred and eighty.three per-
SONS, firms and corporations contributed to
the financial distress of 1873. Of these fail.
ures about one.eighth of the whole number
occurred in New York city, and involved the
loss of $92 100000, or about one.third of the
whole amount of the losses. This dispropor-
tion indicates, at the same time, the immense
business Of that city, and the amount OF wild
and reckless speculation.

THE MARINE COURT.

In the suit Of Alexander vs. Bennett, which
an action to recover s., 900 alleged to have been
deposited BY plaintiff with defendant a. loan,
there was quite an important argument yester.
day before Judge Freedman at Special Term or the
superior Court involving the question az to the
construction Of an act passed by the last Legisls-
ture. BY this act any court OF record may in Its
discretion send any action pending therein to the
Marine Court for trial. The motion was to send
the case to the Marine Court. Mr.. Matthew p
breen was In favor OF the motion, anu MIR. Robert
LUDLOW Fowler opposed 1t. the ground Of the
opposition was that II the Judge construed the act
itvorably 20 the motion II would cause vexatlous
70 suitors that any cause OF great magnitude
might DC sent 70 court OF inferior Jurisdiction

10 the latter Court to determine whether the ap.
pellant could appeal to the Court OF Appeals. 1t
vas insisted That the right OF appeal would be
thus delayed and hindered, and that as tt was an
existing statutory right no subsequent statute
could by medication defeat that right but that It

At the Correctional Tribunal OF Rouen General
Lebrun, holding command in that town, ap-
peared the other day as prosecutor against dis
charged French soldier named Lepretre Tor using
abusive language to him. The General deposed
that on the afternoon Of August he went In his
carriage to make call upon the Archbishop. He
was In uniform, and as he drew near to the Archie
piscopal Palace he heard repeated vociicrations
which he thought at first proceeded from some
drunken people quarrehing. But as he alighted
he turned rOand mechanically and saw the de-
fepdsnt hooting him and with menacing gestures
pointing him ont to group OF people He heard
him say, IAN, look ct that one who Is
high up and con demne poor fellows to die OF
hunger" The General rushed at him and called
him cowardly and miserable slanderer. The
man. after hesttating moment as II he meant to
strike him, rushed round and ran away, and he
ran after him. He was arrested by some soldiers
and others who stopped MIN. The General then
SAID, Why do you insult me. wretch that you
and you have the best OF 1t, for you are armed and
am not" Then he conrnued-"You DO pretty
piece OF work; you back up people who betrayed
France and sold ner provinces. they were not
proud then; oh, no.; they crouched before the
enemy. And now your Journals VIII say to-mor-
row that an individual OF the worst sort has tn.
