Delegate Mcconnell argued In support OF

be put to the non-payment of taxes In future,
and thus put up the credit Of the State.
Delegate Lyons hoped that some fixed time

Delegate Bridger should vote against all
the proposed amendments. He favored the
article just as it came from the committee.
He opposed any further relief to nom axpay-
ers. He found that great part OF the taxes
due was owed by rich corporations, who
would never pay as long as they could resist
their payment or bring the necessary 1nflu-
ences to bear upon the Legislature to remit

JOHN WESLEY A RTTUALIST-Th Rev
Dr. Rlgg, president of the British Wesley

Jonn wesley churchmanship-a question

cusslon on both sides of the Atlantic. DR.
Rigg shows the great founder of Method.

travagant type in his early ministerial life.
Even when he visited the State Of Georgia
ne refused to recognize the baptism of any
person who had not been baptized by an
EPiscopally ordained clergyman; he insist
eu on rcDaptiZing children who had been
otherwise baptized; he refused the Lords

hearers there because he had been other.

out the coionists with his three public SER
vices especially with the PRAYER Book ev-
cry DAY; he would baptize children only by
immersion; he even denied the burial SER
vice to the dead who had not received what
he considered orthodox baptism; he slept
ON the ground rcther than a bed; he de-
cllned all food except bread and water, and
went Darefooted for the encouragement Of
the poor boys of his school. In fact, the

century excepting the Roman Catholics)
were the little band of Methodists at OK

Sunday; they tasted twice every week;
they went in a sort Of procession to St.
Mary's Church mid the laughter of their
fellow students. But in his later years
Wesley tended toward the other extreme,
and there is no candid student of his lite
and writings who will not admit that, of

DEvESs AND THE JURY SYsTEM.-At-
torney-General Devens, in his argument on
the Virginia civil-rlghts cases before the
Supreme Court of the United States week
before last, asserted that every individual
IN the country could and should, if on trial,
demand a jury of his own nationality. A
Frenchman should have a French jury; a
GERMAN, a German jury, ETC., etc. 1t is
net that Devens believes in any such jury
system, for of course he does not, but what
snaIl be thought of any man who would ad-
vance such an argument That he does
not really approve of it, but makes the case
70 much the worse so far as he is concerned.

resigns during the present administl alton,

A TRIBUTE TO VIRTUE On Wednesday
last a monument was unveiled in Spartan
burg county over the remains Of the late
Miss Francis Woodward, the young woman
who was so brutally murdered by John j.
Moore on the 5th of June last. The monu-
ment, which is of Italian marble, which
stands six feet high on a base Of native
granite, was purchased by subscriptions
raised in the neighborhood. The inscrIp-
ton is cut on a raised shield facing the
east. which is as follows:
In Memory of Francis Woodward,

She loved her Church, and proved her
fidelity in the sacrifice of her life.

BLEEDING FROM WoUNDs.-Asa Kemper,
Ross county, Ohio, says that bleeding from
a wound on a man or beast may be stopped
by a mixture of common salt, in equal parts,
bound on with a white cloth. II the bleed
ing be profase, use a large quantity, say
from one to three pints. 1t may be left for
hours, or even days, if necessary. In this
name he saved the life of a horse which
was bleeding from a wounded artery; the
bleeding ceased in five minutes after the
application. 1t was left on three days,
when it worked loose, and was easily re-
moved from the wound, which very soon
healed.
