SYNOD Oh THE REFORMED EPIscoPA-
LIANs.-Ths Reformed Episcopalians as
sembled in Chicago on Tuesday in syno-
dical convention. the first of the kind
ever held in the country. There were
eight churches represented, six Of which
are in Chicago. The delegates number
ed tifty-one, of whom forty three were
lay members. A constitution was adop-
ted for the government of the synod,
which must. however, receive the appro-
val of the general council. The chief
business of the convention was the cleo
ton of the synodical bishop, and to this
position Rev. Chas. Edward Cheney, of
Chicago, at present missionary bishop of
the Northwest, was chosen. Rev. MIR.
Cheney, since his secession from the
Episcopal Church, has been one of the
foremost in the ranks of the Reformed
Church. A standing committee was also
elected, whose functions are much the
same as these of the rec ular Episcopal
dioceses

A NEGRo'S TERRIBLE CRIME.

He Kils His Otcn Child after Subject, ns
Her to Terrible Torture.
James LIE Vance. negro. was brought
up from Hammond on last Sunday by De-
putty Sheriff Willis and lodged in Jail,
charged with the murder of his own child,
a little girl only seven years of age. 1t
Is said he took board about three or
four inches wide and an inch thick and
beat the child until it was almost dead.
He then tied its hands behind it, tied q
rope around its ankles, and taking it to q
well, reversed it and let it down the well
head foremost, and dipped it up and
down until his murderous propensities
were fully satisfied. He then took it
out, laid it on the ground, and like ar
unfeeling brute, gazed on it in its last
gasping agonies Of death. There were
two or three negro women present, among
them the mother Of the child. and we are
told none OF them raised voice against
it. The cause Of this brutal treatment
was, the father had purchased ten cents
worth of crackers and sent them home
by the child to the mother, who pretend
ed to be sick. When the father returned
the mother complained of not having
TO eat, and declared that the
child did not give them to her. The child
insisted to the last that it did, and sub
sequent inquiry has proven the trut of
the child's story, and the falsity OF the
mothers statement.---Am La Demo-

Prosperity of Charleston,

From the Springfield, Mass, Republican,.
Southern journals are adopting the
western habit of printing annual reviews
OF the growth of their respective cities
In industry and trade. New Orleans is.
OF course, much depressed at the sharp
competition Of st. Louis and Memphis,
and by her political misfortunes. The
sugar crop of Louisiana, however, is large
this year and agriculture generally
remunerative. Atlanta is the most
thriving city in the southwest, having
increased immensely in population and
manufactures in ten years,
Charleston is tie most prosperous COM
mercial city. She Is favored by u wise
and liberal administration Of railroad
feeders, and is peculiarly fortunate in
the variety and richness Of the
natural products of which she is the
market. These are naval stores-an en-.
tirely new and growing trade-cotton,
rice, lumber, and phosphates. Charles
ton is now the third cotton port and mar
kets eleven per cent. of the whole crop
OF Carolina rice she has q monopoly the
trade in phosphates, crude and manu-
factured, last year amounted to two mil
liom dollars. Richmond is also quite
prosperous, the cheapness of labor en-
abling her great iron industries to keep
in operation all through the dali season.
and take orders from New England and
the West, when Pittsburg kas been idle.
Colored labor proves to be a strong
point, instead Of the weak one, in this
case.

Found Innocent after Being in

JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 30-William NJ.
Stout, who was sentenced from Brown
county in September, 1871, to twenty
years Imprisonment in the State Pen
itentiary for murder, has been pardon
ed by Governor Bevcridge. Stout was
convicted on purely circumstantial
evidence, and, since his incarceration,
facts have been developed which clear
ly indicate his innocence of the crime.
Hence the pardon. He carries with him
a written statement from tho Warden,
Major X. w. McClaughry, to the
above effect, which statement alsc
testifies to his excellent conduct while
prisoner. The pardon gives great
satisfaction here, especially to those
who are familiar with the circumstan-
ces of Stout's case.

forty pounds of powder are consumed at
a charge-the largest charge ever fred
from cannon-and projectiles of about
l ,25S pounds. The muzzle velocity
ranged from about l 400 feet per second
to l,550. 1t is supposed that the new
gun would probably carry haf-ton
shot eight or ten miles; but though
there are already guns which can carry
five or six miles, something over two
miles is the maximum for practical pur-
