The subject methods Of Pastoral Work." Mr..
Gault insisted that none of the embership of the
churches should be sighted because the tendency

acquainted with the members OF his church and

and papers, visiting theatres. balls aud parties.
The point which the Comic, ence at Disagree
ment most was whether every pastoral visit should
begin end with prayer, or whether pray should
be offered all at such visits. Brother Rhodes did
not believe any rulc could be laid down that all

animosity to exist among Jewish ministers Of
opposite views. Such is by means the case, and

was that regard the present newspaper exultation
over pulpit Interchange" as an evidence of this
fraternity ridiculous, for 1t IL patent to oil who

was not cultivated twenty years ago. when pre-
dccssors fought out their bitter battles of orthodoxy
versus reform with luminosity which to-day
only appears when some surviving veteran of those
days finds his opportunity. We Of to-day are past

DECISION IN ADMIRALTY.
Three Years Imprisonment for Taking
Life and Two Years for Robbery.

Among the decisions handed down yesterday by
the General Term of the Court OF Common Pleas
was that in the suit Of Rufus Story against the New
York Elevated Railroad Company. which came before
the Court appeal. The plaintiff is the owner OF
Nos and Front street. at the OF Moore street.
and claims be the of half OF the bed OF the
street. He brought this suit to restrain the Elevated
Railroad Company from building their road oppo-
site his premises. 1t was claimed that the two
lots were under conveyed by the city i'll
1878 and that Front street was not
then constructed and the strip which became the
street was not excepted from the description, the
plaintiff owned the fee of one-half the street III
front of his premises On the argument below
however. the late Judge Robinson overrued TINS
point and refused to sustain the injunction Judge
Beach. who writes the opinion OF the General Term
holds that the original grant under which the plain
tf claims does not convey fee to any part OF the
street upon which the elevated road Is erected III

public Doubtless the plaintiff Is entitled 10 Inc use
OF the street in common with others and may COM

lee of Front street remains in the city, conclude

GENERAL RUBEN DAVIS.

We admit on our first page letter from
Gen Ruben Davis on the question of the
necessity for a new party to carry out
Greenback principles. We do this because
we look upon him as an amiable old gen
tleman of the old school, with an alum
dance of views, and feel anxious to please
him. He is, in fact, one of the political
landmarks of Mississippi, and has been
during the present century beacon light
for the Democracy, but he has strayed in
his old age, virtually denied the faith, and
roamed ont of the orthodox ranks. We have
some hopes, notwithstanding his present
heresics, of winning him back to the faith
full.
His letter is, perhaps about the best that
could have been written on his side of the
subject, but it will signally fail to convince
any thinking man of the necessity of a
Gteenback party. He makes some vital
mistakes in his references to recent Demo-
cratic history, which we have no space now
to point out or controvert. The main
point we have endeavored to press in these
columns lie has conveniently ignored, and
that is that the Democratic party of Mis-
sissippi is as much in favor of financial re-
form, as much opposed TO the paralyzing
class legislation of Congress during the last
twelve or fifteen years, as the so-called
Greenbackers. And if this is true, then
the Democratic party of Mississippi being
already an organized institution, with good
promise of continued ascendancy in the
State, is more likely to be able to effect
financial relief than a mere moonstruck
party with no organization, no recognized
leadership, and scarcely any following. In
this view Of the case we contend that there
is no necessity for the Greenback party,
and if it draws off any considerable num-
Der of Democrats it would OILY increase
the chances for Radical restoration. Does
any true man Of the State desire to lend his
aid in that direction? We hope not And
is there a man in Mississippi who is wild
enough to believe that the so-called Green
back party has the ghost of a chance for
success? We think not Then it follows
that the so-called Greenback party subsidies
into feeble coadjutor Of the Radical par
ty, and is only calculated to bring morsel
Of comfort to that decayed concern,
Gen. Davis is in the wrong boat-it is
not a congenIal boat TO him. He can't
harmonic with such a case as Modest Mus.
And we hope be viii consent 10 let the par
ty die out in Mus's hands. Musgrove is
the proper leader for such a party. There
is no sense in having sueh party, and there
is precious little sense in Musgrove.
