ter and outrageous denunciation of people
and parties which compare, to say the least,
favorably with those it is acting with. 1t
should first take the beam out of the eyes at
bone, before clamoring for the mote else
Where. Its reckless and totally defenceless
charges against the Republicans indicate the
absence of legitimate argument, and attract
to it contempt rather than approval. It is a
poor cause that has to depend upon billings
| gate to sustain it. There has been as much
'venaiity, roguery and corruption" around
and about the Capitol at Richmond as any
other place we know of, and it comes with

ton of the present Democratic Congress,

Recently new denomination of the col
ored Methodists, styled the Southern Metho-
dist church, has been started at Atlanta,
Georgia, by members OF the regular colored
Methodist church which extends all over
the country. They allege as cause for sepa-
ration that the burdens inflicted upon them
| by the national church were unequal and
| unjust, and they complain that they do not
get fair share of the honors and privileges.
| There are, they say, six colored bishops in
| the church, every one of whom lives in the
| North, and they require each of the two col
ored Methodist Conferences in Georgia to
| pay $1,000 year, or $4,000 between them.
| The bishops seldom come South, and the
reformers say ''they do no good when they
| do come, but only ask for money" 1t is
| declared that they get nearly $50, 900 year
| from all the colored Methodists in the South,
