At the last conference of the NJ. E.
Church South, held at Opelousas, it
was decided to hold the next annual
conference at New Orleans 10 Decem-
Der. Since tho terrible scourge has
visited that city, it has occurred +"
many members Of the body that the
people of New Orleans will be in no
condition to entertain the conference.
Although there would be little if any
danger. The church at this place is
perfectly willing to receive that body
and during tho past week the matter
has been discussed and met with

County Attorneys Salary.

The appeal of J. =. Sanderfnr, Coun-
~ Attorney, from the allowance made
him by the Cour, of Claims, came up
in the Circuit Court at its recent ses-
sioa and he was ALLOW ed an additional
500. For the year ending Septem-
her, 1875, Mr.. S. was allowed $3.50,
ani afterwards an additional $50,
making 500. For the year ending
September, 1876, he was allowed $3.50
and afterwards an additional $50, total
$500. For the year ending Septem-
her, 1877, after repeated ballors and
several tie votes, he was allowed $500.
All of these allowances we're acquiesced
in by him and the money received.
This fall he asked an allowance of 5000
and was voted $500 by the magistrates.
How does it happen that he did not
appeal from the allowance for the year
ending September. 1876? $500 will
buy more things TO live on, aud sup
port family better, now than it would
in 1876. How does it happen that
Mr.. Sanderfur never asked an allow
ance of 5000 before this fall? Are
his duties more arduous? Wonder il
the electicn last summer did not have
something to do with preventing the
asking of larger allowances and ap.
pcals to the Circuit Court? If Mr..
Sanderfur had appealed from the al.
lowanccs of the magistrates, aud asked
a salary of 5000 previous to last Au.
gust. he would not have been "unani.

summer. We do not know, but We
