The Baltimore Conference.
From the Kentucky tNorthern) Presby-
ran.

Since our last issue the Minutes OF
the Baltimore Conference have been
given to the public. Most, if not all,
Of the denominational papers Of the
Church South publish the entire
correspondence, and we regret that
it has not been published by the pa
pers of our own Church. So far as
we have observed, it appears only in
the Presbyterian Weekly. 1t is mat
ter of grave importance, and it ap-
pears to US that our ministers and
churches should have an opportunity
of forming an Independent judgment
in regard to it. Some of our papers,
which gave an account of the Con-
ference before the correspondence
was published in full, were misled
by the telegraphic report, and pre-
sented 4 view which was not quite
lust to the Committee of the South
ern Church. 1t was stated that they
demanded the repeal of the acts and
deliverances of our Church, of which
they complained. This was a mis-
take. We regret that we are unable
to publish the correspondence entire,
but must content ourselves with Civ
ing a very brief outline.
After giving an outline of the cor
respondence, and quoting the request
of the Southern Committee and the
refusal of the Northern Committee,
the Kcntueky Presbyterian continues:
There are certain points in the
final reply of our Committee, as given
above, to which We desire to call the
attention Of the Church. We regard

aNo. Miss Dean, not too late" said
a stern, manly voice, as a form dark
cned the doorway.
'sllr. Earle, as I live. And in the

Lora meant to be scornful, but her

CAS- you please" said Miss Dean
in a voice trembling with passion, as
she arose and swept from the room.
Edward crossed the room to where
Florence sat, with bowed head and
taking one Of her hands, he said:

words of a conversation l deemed it

that l heard YOU say made me doubt
that YOU ever wrote this.
He placed in her hands the note
he had found.
Florence read it through, and then
said, looking into his face with those
troubled eyes:
"No, Edward, l never wrote this.
Some enemy has been at work.
They did not question who, for it
was very evident to both who the
guilty person was.
Florence confessed that she con-
scnted to test his love, and both
shuddercd when they thought of how
near their lives came to bcingwreck-
ed. 1t was a perfect reconciliation.
Miss Dean left the city the next
day in disgust. A month later she
received cards of invitation to attend
the wedding of Florence Ray and
Edward Earle; but she very politely
declined the invitation.

AMENITIES OF LIFE N COLORADO
Twelve or fifteen armed men wentto
the house of Elisha Gibbs, raped at
the door and told him they would
give him fifteen minutes tocome out.
Gibbs told them he would come as
soon as he dressed. After waiting
until they thought the time was up,
some of the party placed an armful
or two of straw against the door and
was in the act of lighting it when
Gibbs commenced firing at them
with revolver. David and Samuel
Boone, Mr.. Kane and Mr.. Reed were
shot. David Boone died the next
night. Samuel Boone died on Satur-
day night. Kane's wound was pro-
nounced fatal By the PHYSICIANS in
attendance, and he is doubtless dead
ere this. Reed received an ugly flesh
wound. After the shooting was over
Gibbs piekedup two guns, a rife, and
q hat, which had been dropped BY
his yisitors.-Fdir PAY Sentinel.

.'0h, Flo. am so glad you have
GOMEZ And the treacherous face
was wreathed in smiles. Il want
you to do my hair just the best you
can. l know I'm a great bother, but
YOU are a darling and won't mind.
Florence kissed the pouting red
lips her cousin held up to her.
NO coz, you are not a bother. 1t
is pleasure for me to help YOU"
"Flo, do you think l amvery beau
tiful?" said Lora, when her cousin
stood unwinding the coils Of her
magnificent hair.
"Yes, dear, l wish l were half as
beautiful"
Il wonder if Edward Earle thinks
so, too" she said, watching Flo
through her half closed lids.
"Why?'
Il mean to win him if l can"
"Loraln said Florence, her face
flushing, then turning pale. "You
know Edward is my afGanced."
"Well, supposing he is; if he would
leave you for a beautiful face he is
not worthy of you. Florence, dare
you let this be a test to see if he will
remain true?"
Did there creep a doubt into the
girls mind that caused her to hesi.
tate and for q moment to remain 81,
lent? When she spoke, it was with
a white yet determined face, and her
voice sounded strange and cold.
II am willing"
But Florence's heart fell within
her when her cousins toilet was fin
ished, and she stood before her a
very queen in her rich robes of silk
and lace, with glittering diamondsin
her ears and at her throat. "Would
she stand the test?" she asked her
self.
Every eye was turned toward Miss
Dean that evening when she swept
into the parlors. Her beauty, and
gay, sparkling manner, soon brought
a crowd of admirers around her, and,
lured by those bright eyes, Edward
Earle found himself among them.
Florence Ray only needed that one
evening to tell how the contest would
end, and who would be winner; yet
she had consented to the trial, and
come what might, she would hide all
her suffering, and act her part.
That evening was fair sample Of
the days which followed. Edward
rarely sought Florence's side, and she
stood proudly aloof, never by sign or
word exhibiting her true feelings.
To do Edward Earle justice, his
love for Florence was still the same.
He was merely fascinated with her
cousin, and repelled by her manner

Nnai is Yhought of our Senator.

Unless a statement We find in the
Cincinnati Commercial does him in
justice, Senator Caperton, of West
Virginia, intends todistinguish hiIn-

that he has committed himself to the
return of the national constitution

oppression. ."-Wds5iagtoa Star.
This is all bosh about Senator Ca
perton. There is not more conserv-
ative man in the whole country than
he, and none more resigned to the
constitution of the country as it is.
He will however, no doubt resist
with frmness, all Radical encroach-
ments upon the few rights remain
ing to the South under Radical rul-
ing, and resist 'to the knife and the

ion and outrage upon the liberties

expect OF desire. Is it to continue the
strife for establishing the independent
sovereignty of the States? Do they not
know that there is not Yankee Demo.
crat who would not inform upon them
Instantly, and take the contract for their

Democrats fought the war for fear the
Southern Democrats would escape? In
that case, what could the Yankee Demo-
Gratis have done in the Union2 1t was an
understood thing. The Republican party
intended to maintain the Union. The
Yankee Democrats wished to catch their
fugitive brethren and make them vote the
Yankee Democratic ticket. :.
There never was such cordial execu.
ton Of OF the fugitive slave law as when

btity. we avail ourselves Of the occasion
TO remind tho colored people that thei,
rights are at stake to greater extent than
they perhaps suppose. Suffrage and pc.
hhcal equality are not, perhaps, out Of
the woods altogether, and exaggerated
representations Of such disturbances are
intended to prejudice the Northern PEG,
pie, and induce them to remand the col
ored people to to the guardianship Of the
more intelligent, for generation or so at
least. The colored people will remember
that the miners in an extensive region OF
Pennsylvania were for nearly year on
strike. for higher wages; that during
that period they led lawless life, have
taken life and destroyed property. and
that the. State authorities were obliged
to call out military force to suppress the
insurrection. 20.
These and other offenses have been by
no means placarded with such conspicu-
Gus headings as have been all the disturb,
ances among the-colored people.
We do not complain Of the prominent
condemnation given to violation of law or
order by any; We only exhort our friends of
the press to apply this highly illustrative
literature to blazon all offenders, without
pausing to note the complexion of the
fingers that commit the act of theft, arson
OF murder. We have elsewhere shown
that these sensational headings have kept
away money and enterprise, and 50 great
y endan1aged the; ma,erialsnd industrial
interests Of the city.
Weno~ exhort the colored people 90
remember that every act Of violated law
attributed to them impairs the strength
Of their friends, andimperils the duration
of their rights. Why, then, should the |
,olore d people permit riotous demonstra.
ions against the Jaw. and why should
newspapers initiate their circulation bv
'xaggerating such events if they occurs !

TRUE COLOR POLICY.

There is department Of common in.
terest upon which no Democrat has
spoken or can speak instructively. Il is
the indispensable ability of the negro to
cultivate the soil, to aid the commerce
and to make the manufactures Of the
South. The Democrat can not speak of
these subjects because ii was principle
OF the Southern Democracy to despise
and resist all modes Of material develop
men,. The foes of maritime interest.
the enemies on principle of the mechanic
arts and the opponents everywhere in
the South of railroads and all other facili-
lies OF internal and foreign commerce, we
can not expect one Of these political phi
losophers to appreciate either the adop-
'ion OF such measures Of development or
to accept negro agency in their establish
ment among US. Yet the indisposition of
the whites to engage in the mixed indus
tries, the superior capacity of the negro to
endure the climate, and the economy vita
which his labor may be furnished, render
1t certain these mixed industries will be
confided to the negroes as the only peo.
pie IN the South who can compete with
the laborers in the mixed industries else,
where. To render this invaluable agency
effective will require education and i'm
proved facilities. Some day the Southern
people will comprehend what a mine of
unworked ability exists among them
They will recognize the rights Of the ne
gro They will go long stride further
they will educate and employ the colored
race in all those pursuits which the I
Southern white people have never ye. /
conducted. but without which all the I
money made from the Southern sun and
soil is exchanged against the products of
intelligent industry. Yes; q Southern
