THE reception of n delegation from
the general conference of the northern
Methodist church, by the general con
ference of the southern church, in ses-
sion a few days since at Louisville,
Ky, is favorable sign of return to
more friendly feelings between the two
bodies. We believe the same thing
was attempted three or four years ago,
but without success. The church di-
vided Oh the sectional question between
the south and the north, thirty years
ago. Aside from political antipathies,
since the abolition of slavery, there
has been no serious impeachment to q
reunion. Neither church has ever
been fundamentally organized on Sec
tional questions, but practically they
have been so regarded. If all difficult
ties could be removed, there is no doubt
but what their reunion, as well as that
of the Presbyterian church, would have
a powerful influence in re-establishing
good feeling between the sections.

A LONDON letter writer says the
British navy has been found in con-
dition Of doubtful efficiency. On pa
per, there are fifty-llve iron-cads, of
which forty-one are sea-going and four
teen adapted for harbor and coast de-
fence. OF forty-one sea-going iron
clads, five must be deducted as still on
the docks, and nine others as either
obsolete or not worth repairing forsea-
going purposes. This reduces the list
to twenty-seven, and of these only
fourteen can be regarded as really eff
iective for service at the present mo-
ment, though four more, or eighteen
in all, will perhaps be ready in the
course of the year. Moreover, some of
the ships now undergoing repair can
not be counted upon as good for more
than n year; then, of fourteen IRON
clads for harbor defense, one is build
ing, and there are only eight fit for
service.

The new frontier commander has
been reared in Texas, and though not
on the frontier, he has seen much hard
service during the late war, with credit
to himself. Since the flag went down
at Appomattox, we have seen him in

made the tour of Brazil, and finally
settled down as man Of business at

The Field Hand, the leading organ of the
colored men of the South, says with regard to
the White League movement: ''The apeeches
of to-day and the import Of the press is of the
same character as it was in 1860, and the ind-
vidual who for single moment dreams that
the so-called color line policy is only war
against ignorant negroes is fool, and is I'M
able in the passing events to judge the thoughts
and purposes of men,"
The Louisville Courer-Journal, edited by an
ex-Confederate officer, commenting on the New
Orleans affair, says.
The only pity is, whilst the killing is going
on that, since it is sure to be ruthlessly pun
ished, it is not more thorough and discrimin-

ruin is the price demanded of it by a cold
blooded, calculating partyism, the end of which
must be civil wal, revolution and, ultimately,
dictatorship.

any worse than it is; and, as you are resolved

FIGHT IN CHURoH.-Belvidere, Vt, had a
riot of no mean proportions few nights ago.
A few pew holders of the church there who are
interested in the liquor traffic, having tried
other means of breaking up the meetings of the
Good Templars in the church, sent man who
had been expelled from the lodge, to the door,
and he, by giving the secret rap, got the room
open so that they could go in. The Good TIE NJ
plars at once turned out the intruders, and then
bagan battle with stones and brickbats in
front of the church. The darkness soon be-
came so deep that the parties could not distin-
guish friends from foe, but heroic Temperance
woman came upon the scene with lamps and
lighted the Templars on to victory. The rum
party were driven from the field Fifteen or
twenty persons were wounded. The church,
too, was badly injured. The attacking party
was led by Thomas Potter. sons and brother.
One of the Potters is said to be SO badly wound
ed internally that he cannot recover.

JAY COOKE & Co.'s AFFAIRs-A further ex-
animation of the members of the house of Jay
Cooke & Co. took place before Register Mason
at Philadelphia, Wednesday. Mr.. Cooke is re-
ported as having stated as follows:
"The assets mentioned in the schedules were
purchased with money chiefly; that the bulk of
the Investments were in cash, about 80 per cent.
OF them; each of the firm did not draw out any
specified sum of the profits; they were divided
at the beginning of each year. The assets, ac-
cording to the amount paid for them, were
largely in excess of our liabilities. The accu-
INFLATED profits of 1871 and 1872 of the Phila-
delphia and New York houses amounted to ST.
325 900; We divided in 1872 of the previous year,
$500, 900 in the New York house, and $685., 900
in the Philadelphia house; and in 1873 of the
profits of the previous year over half million
of dollars. There was no diminutiOn of the
profits up to the suspension; we made money
all the time; our books do not show the most of
our business, as many of the transactions were
over the counter, perhaps amounting to thou
sand millions a year.
We divided out $1,5S5, 600, leaving So, 300, 900
undivided; the inability to pay on the 18th of
Sept. 1873, he attributed to having too many
eggs in one basket; the firm had not only made
large advances to the Northern Pacific Railroad
Co., but on the iron also, and when the pinch
came the money was not within reach. There
had been no losses except on the Northern
Pacific Railroad bonds"
