what bishop Haven said.


The Methodist preachers and the Methodist
Sunday School Union held JOINT meeting yes
teriay morning in the Temple Street Methodist
Episcopal Church, the Rev. L. u. Bates presi-
ding.
Bishop Gilbert Haven, in accordance with an
invitation extended by the Preachers meeting
fortnight ago. addressed tho audience on the
condition OF the South. He eaid that there was
one class OF people in the South who had been
recognized as nationality by the rope, and
they would welcome his followers to these
shores bnt the race freed by the people OF the
North will never strike blow against
constitutional liberty. Bishop Haven said that
there is to be tremendous poitlcal,
battle this year, beginning with the election OF
Democratic Speaker of the National House Oh
Representatives. He said that the minister's OF
Boston are in the field of battle; their words are
reported and the Southern papers comment on
them. The question is, "Shali the Northern
people rule the nation z "ohall the PURITAN Vi
tho Cavalier be the ruler?" ''Shall Boston or
Charleston be the centreY' The Methouist
Episcopal Church is the only institution IN the
South to-day that represents the American ma
ton. You must, he said, stand by the Church.
There are in the South nearly OUUO members
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who know
what they believe just as well AZ the people OF
New England, and better. They appreciate I'D
erty and those who gave it to them. They new
er will be betrayers, and let the people OF tne
North never betray them. Inc maicohtentS
of the South know that they were de-
feated by one man, that man is Presl.
dent Grant, and if the people throw him over at
the command of politicians they will rue it.
PRAY, brethren, that President Grant may be re-
| elected Pray for the true people Of the South,
and you will find that thus you will be able to
| keep down the kindred threatening powers III the
| slave power and the power Of the Papacy. Inc
| Rev. DIR. Sherman of Brooklne moved that the
| meeting vote that they had heard the sentiments
| advanced by MIR. Haven with great pleasure and
| hearty approval. This motion was unanimously
| adopted. All opposed were invited to rise, bnt
moi one person rose There was great applause.

REV. EDWARD EVERETT HALEs LECTURE, LAST
EVENING.
Tho unique Characteristic which is exhibited
in many of Rev. Mr.. Hale's stories-"My Dou-
bic, and How he Uudid Me-" 1.-THE Brick
Moon," &c, Sc.--a sort of imaginative jesting
that would be absurd II il we're not witty and ga
tirical, was exhibited in the reverend gentle
man's le cture, last evening, 1t bore no appa-
rent relation to the announced topic. 1t was un-
usually brief for a lecture. (though many one
we have wished quickly ended, and it WAS
not lecture, exactly, but story. An imagina-
ry John Sapp WAS taken to typify the "civil
servers" who. being qualified only for places
VIII re there is nothing in particular to do, are
eternally applying for such positions, and using
all the influence they can command to get into
them. The sketch Of Johns early life, and lack OF
training, his service in the War Department, and
his subsequent career, including his candidacy
for the Legislature, abOunded III good hits and
smooth but pungent satire. For an hours en-
tertainment it WAS q very pleasing lecture,
though people seemed to go away puzzled to
know what estimate to put upon it.
The church was well filed, being the largest
audience in the course, except at the lecture OF
Mrs. Livermore. 1t included many of our most
prominent citizens, who thus showed an appre-
citation of the efforts of the ladies' in the ar
rangement of the Charming Course. They were
no doubt highly gratiied to find SO many people
of culture and refinement present. The decora-
tions were prepared with much taste. An abun-
dance of geraniums and other towering plants
were placed upon the platform, while long Car
olina moss hung from small tree like unto the
live oak and vases of nicely pressed New Eng
land ferns held places on the sides of the pull
pit.
At the conclusion of lie lecture Rev. Mr.. Is
rael announced that BSaid lay lors lecture
would take place on tie Goth inst, and that the
tickets for tue remaining lecture in the course
might be used on this occasion, or they may be
retained for the lecture of Robert Conyer. the
date of which is yet to be announced.
FALL OF A BANK.--While the city employees

fell and as it tumbled without any warning he
was not able to avoid it, aud was buried up to
his waist. shovel handle was firmly wedged
against his ankle and broken, and the ankle was
also slightly fractured. Mr.. Baird was removed
to his home at 18th and Market, where his
wound was dressed by Jno. j. Gallagher, the
druggist. William Humes, residing in Wilson
street. was also in the ditch at the time, but es-
capped injury.

which was largely attended, this morning, the
Water Witch bell was tolled. Mr.. Robinson was
