Methodist General Conference.

The Louisville Commercial has this to say
with reference to the General Conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, to be
held in Louisville KY, the first of May:
1t will be composed of nearly FIVE hundred
members, half of them the most distinguished
ministers of the denomination, and half Its
most prominent lay members. The assemblage
of the Conference will attract besides many
hundreds of visitors interested in Its dellbera-
tions, and anxious to see its members. The
whole South will send representatives to Louis
Vile, and our city is not likely again in long
time to have an opportunity to form and ce-
ment so many valuable friendships as this
meeting will give opportunity for. The Cen
eral Conference is not likely to meet here again
for a generation. Its sessions are held only
once in four years. The convention ~ "hlGn
framed the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at the time when the great division IN
the Methodist Episcopal Church took place,
met here in 1884, thirty years ago. Consider
ing the rapid growth of the country, it Is
lifely that it will be more than thirty years
before it again becomes Louisvlles turn to
entertain another General Conference.
The meeting of the General Conference will
be especially interesting, because it will be the
first at which accredited representatives from
the Methodist Episcopal Church will be pres
ent, the last General Conference of that body,
held at Brooklyn, having provided, for such
representatives. 1t would be a gratifying coin
cidence if Louisville, which was the place
where the division in this great religious body
took definite and prominent form, should be
the place where movement for reunion was
inaugurated. -,
AS we said above, the Conference will con-
tinue in session for month. During its con,
tinuance daily paper, under the editorial
management of Rev. DIR. I. o. Summers, OF
the Nashville Advocate, will be published ior
the purpose of furnishing full official report
of its proceedings.

Col. RICHARD LATHERs.-.The Augusta
ConstitutionaHst says: ''The people of South
Carolina, and more particularly the people of
Charleston, are under great obligations to Col.
Richard Lathers. He has made, by long odds,
the most powerful, practical and, we may add,
eloquent appeals for the salvation of the civil
ization of the Palmetto State. His public
career has been, since the war, one untiring
effort to lift the incubus from that Common
wealth, and, we have reason to know, his en-
deavors have made great and important con-
quests of enlightened Northern opinion in
South Carolina In private life he is the most
useful of citizens. A man Of culture, wealth
and refnement-surrounded too, by a most
interesting family-his splendid hospitality to
all who come to Charleston and get within his
magic circle is something to be remembered:
We do not wonder that the distinguished
Northern visitors now journeying through the
South were received at his elegant mansion in
a style worthy of the ancient renown of Caro-
lima, and that they should have been pleasantly
impressed with the noble Charleston merchants
and professional men gathered together, in his
own inimitable and royal way. Such man as
this is public benefactor. Would that every
Southern city could boast of Lathers, who
knows so we'll how to dispense, for the common
good, the bountiful gifts bestowed by Provi-
dence and won by his superior talent and
energy"

SPEAKING OUT.-At recent serenade in
Charleston, Congressman Ransier delivered
himself in substance as follows:
Among other things, he said that rumors Of
misrule and rascality in South Carolina were
presenting themselves from every side; that
these reports were not confned to Democratic
sources, but that denunciations had been and
were still being made by members of the Re-
publican party. That there was truth in these
rumors, he would not attempt to deny; that
there was corruption in the judiciary, and that
the party had elected to Office men who, to use
no harsher terms, were unn1itigated scoundrels,
every one knew too we'll but the course to re-
dress these wrongs was not by public denun-
Citations, but rather by caucus and party con-
vention. Let each man, he said, act as if by
his simple vote he could wipe out the stain
which rests upon the party, and the evils which
so grievously af1ict us. Let each man feel
that upon him individually rests the work of
reform; that for every dollar of the public
money fraudulently used, for every school.
house closed-in Short for every wrong forced
upon the people, the community at large would
hold him responsible. This was the way to
demonstrate that reconstruction was not q
failure, and that the colored man was fitted in
every respect to assist in the government OF the
country. He warned the colored people and
the Republican party at large against treating
with indifference the rights of others. The
best and only way to keep themselves in power,
and to keep unfringed the rights and priyi-
leges which they now enjoyed, was by a recog-
milton Of the universally of these rights.

MORE READING FARMERs-One thing is
certain, and that is there has never been a
time when the farmers were patronizing the
papers as now. Notwithstanding the hard
times, they will read. They think the news
papers are as necessary for the mind, as food is
for the body-that one should be stinted no
more than the other So far as the agricul-
tural papers in the West are concerned, the
number of readers within twelve-month has
been doubled, and newspapers generally have
largely increased their patronage 1t may be
owing to the Grange excitement; but any
excitement which causes farmers to read more,
and think more, and talk more, is beneficial.
The very association of farmers in the Grange
awakens their minds and leads them to desire
to know what is going on in the world. What
folks have got to say about them, and all that
sort of thing. They want to hear both sides
of the question, and patronize papers that they
may find out all about the stir they are crea-
ting They feel more important, and that
they NAV be able to defend themselves from
opposition. The farmers brain in the aggre-
gate overbalance the brains of all other classes
Combined. Now, if they can be made as sharp
and active, and effective, they are all right.
They seem to appreciate the Importance of this,
and are posting up. They think that perhaps
il will be as we'll to use the brains little more
and the muscle little less-that it will pay
them as we'll to cultivate less cotton and more
brains. We are glad farmers are feeling this
way, and feel certain it will rebound to their
material, intellectual and moral interests

DIsGRACEFUL SCENEs-The General AS
senbly of South Carolina is on the eve OF clos
ing its arduous duties. (0 Its protracted
sessions (extra and regular) have been eventtul
in measures as varied as the contents of Pan
dora's box many being of questionable char.
acter, as many more of useless expense, and
hut few fruitful with good to the State. There
have been scenes, too, that presented the hui
morous and ridiculous character of the Solons /;
but "the last scene of all, which closes this
strange. eventful history" was the shameful
and indecorous proceedings at the session last
evening.
of members was being discussed, when COL
ored member from Orangeburg-Abram Dan
nerly-who was, apparently very much under
the influence of liquor, obtained the floor, and
used such improper language as to force the
Sneaker repeatedly to call him to order. This
excited Dannerly's ire, and increased his foul
and harsh language; when the Speaker was
compelled to order the Sergeant-a Arms to re-
move the offending member That officer be-
inp absent, Assistant Simons attempted to per-
form that duty, but was reslsted-Dannerly
even drawing a weapon. Here arose scene
of confusion Henry Riley, another coored
member, from Orangeburg, went to the assis-
tance of Dannerly and row at once ensued.
Members crowded around, desks and chairs
were upset, oaths and loud foul -mouthed ex-
pressions were to be heard, and finally mus
cular member pushed forward seized one OF
the offending members, and bore him by main
force out of the hall. Quiet was then restored.
Resolutions of censure and expulsion were then
introduced, the offenders were brought before
the M bar of the House, and finally expelled =
Riley by vote of sc to Al, and Dannerly II
to Is. Mr. Crittenden, one of the Conserva-
tive members, attempted to excuse Danner,y

How LONG TO SLEEP.-The fact is that as
life becomes concentrated, and its pursuits
more eager, short sleep and early rising become
impossi5le. We take more sleep than our an
crstors. and we take more because we want
more. Six hours sleep will do very we'll for a
mason or bricklayer, or any other man who has
no exhaustion but that produced by manual la
bor the sooner he takes it after his labor is over
the better. But for the man whose labor is
mental, the stress of work is on his brain and
nervous system, and for him who is tired in
neither "early to bed" nor "early to rise" is
wholesome He keeps letting down to the
level of repose. The longer the interval be-
tween the active use of the brain and his re-
tirement to bed, the better his chance tor sleep
and refreshment. To him an hour after mid
night is probably as good as two hours before 1t,
and even then his sleep will not so completely
and quickly restore him as it will his neighbor
who IS physically tired He EN- must not only go to
bed later, but lie longer His best sleep prob,
ably lies in the early morning hours, when all
the nervous excitement has passed away, and
he is in absolute rest.

INFORMATION TO NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIBERS.
There great many people who do not un-
derstand their obligations to newspapers
Numbers of them think they can take paper
as long as they desire on a credit and have it
discontinued at will and without settling for it..
In this they are greatly mistaken. We give
the law upon the subject as follows:
Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered wishing to con-
tinue their subscription.
If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their periodicals the publishers may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
periodicals from the Office to which they are
directed they are held responsible until they
have settled their bills, aud ordered them dis
continued.
If subscribers move to other places without in
forming publishers, and the papers are sent to
the former direction, they are held responsible.
The Courts have decided that refusing to
take periodicals from the Office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie
evidence of Intentional fraud"
Anv person who receives newspaper and
makes use of it, whether he has ordered it or
not. is held in law to be q subscriber.
IF subscribers pay in advance, they. are bound
to rive notice to the publisher, at the end of
their time. if they do not wish to continue
taking it otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it on, and the subscribers will be re-
sponsible until an express notice, with pay
ment of all arrears, is sent to. the publisher.
Subscribers should also remember that IN
ordering the direction of their paper changed
from one post Office to another. they should De
very particular to state the name of the post
Office the paper is sent to as we'll as the one
they desire it changed to.

VERY S1eN1F1cANr-The last number of
Harpey;s Weekly contains a caricature by Mast
representing the disgraceful condition of that
negro mob called the South Carolina Legisla-
ture. Two black legislators are engaged in
personal alteration, while the goddess Colum-
bia, in the Speakers chair, warns the gentle
men from Dahomey and the gentlemen from
Ashantee that if they do not behave themselves
more properly they will be relegated to back
seats. When Harper leaves off caricaturlng
white men, and turns Mast loose upon political
negroes, it is pretty big straw showing the
way of the wind in certain quarters.

"A solid old farmer talks thus about his
boys: From sixteen to twenty, they knew
more than he did at twenty-five, they knew
as much; at thirty, they were willing to hear
what he had to say; at thirty five. they asked
his advice and he thinks when they get to be
forty, that they will actually acknowledge that
the old man does know something.
