The Rev. E. B. Otheman, of the
New York Conference, superannuated
on account of ill-health, was recently
driven from the Khnball House, At
lanta, Georgia, because his political
views did not accord with those OF
the majority Of the guests. The land
lord informed him that if he did not
leave, the house would lose all its
Southern customers. The boarders
requested him to give information
to Bishop Haven that no person Of
his and Nh. Otheman's sentiments
could be permitted to reside in that
community. We should not be sur
prised to hear next of the assassina-
ton of Bishop Haven, for he is made
of that stern Methodist stuff of which
the early Methodists were made and
will do his duty regardless Of conse.
quences And these are the "gentle.
men !" who are clamoring for power
and for the control of the government
through the Democratic party!

The California Bank Statement.

New YORK, Aug. 30.-A private despatch
to leading house in the California trade in
this city, dated San Francisco, August Goth,
says: This country is stricken with grief
by the loss of w. c. Ralstop, which is es-
teemed a greater calamity than the failure
of his bank. Many interests and the peo-
pie must suffer loss, the country is prospess
and strong, and business generally checked.
For ourselves, we lose nothing whatever by
the Bank failure and our principal nothing,
except, perhaps, one small amount of bank
stock bought ten years ago, and which will
occasion no Inconvenience. Mr.. Ra]ston's
death was purely accidental, the result.of a
cold bath while in heated and excited
state.

A state Treasures Crime.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 99:-The startling
discovery that the State Treasurer of New
Jersey, Josephus sevey, Jr., has embezzled
money and properly. of the State amounting
to nearly $500, 900, causes the greatest ex-
citement, astonishment, and confusion,
which is increased by the fact that Mr.. sevey
is reported to have fled from Trenton as
soon as he learned that warrant had been
issued for his arrest.
1t is stated that the money was drawn
from time to time from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, upon the agent of which
Mr.. Sevey called and collected moneys some
times in advance. How he disclosed of it is
not known, and will not be known for some
days. The Governor is expected specially
to investigate the affair at once.
