A Small Affair.

II seems that the strike Of the night
hands at Pusey's cotton factory was
rather small affair, only one man and
q few boys having been engaged in it.
Mr.. Smith, we are also informed, did
not prompt it, and knew nothing Of it
until it had been agreed upon. The
wages, it is also said, were equal to
those paid to similar hands at other

CONFERENCE nURMssEs.
EaHf0n Dfstrica-G0ssfp About the
Ministers and Their Ambitions.

Special Correspondence of the Republican.
DOVER, Del, March II, 1880.
Conference has not launched out far
enough or the meeting Of ministers has
not been sufficient to find out the sson
dts" II the four districts are not
thrown into three, it is expected that
the Rev. Henry Colclazer will be an
pointed Elder of Easton District, His
age, talents and experience entitle him
to the position. He is gentleman of
culture and honor and one of the mest
finished speakers Of the Conference. It
is to be hoped that his age will not in
terpose any objection, for age adds
wisdom, and the Office is now cousider-
ed very much thes Fifth wheel Of the
wagon,
Conference has passed a resolution
requesting the Bishop to consolidate
the four districts linto'three. If 1t should
be reoonsidered and received thew
would be glad that Rev. Mr.. Cololazer
be Presiding Elder. There is a grow
ing restlessness with the office Of Presi-
ding elder whether it be from a sort of
high readiness the Office generates or
from supposed favoritism or useless
ness we know not but there is q ten
dency to require some attention and as
the least to render them responsible TO
the preachers and that they shou'd
choose their own rulers. The presi-
ding elders made reports Of their dis
tricts. Rev. W. Todd's, report was
mixed with merry description of his
district as an animal with one part an
head aother the ears, so much the
body and another parts the legs and
claws and the other the caudle
appendage the tail viewing from certain
points to the Bishops head description
was encouraging.
Rev. Mr.. Hill gave an encouraging
account of his district, eulogized several
Of his preachers, particularly Rev.
I. Il. Martindale, and Middletown had
the prospect Of q bright future.
Rev. Mr.. Mann was announced by
the Bishop as transferred. Ithad been
said there would be some appeal from
his administration at Union but we
suppose the transfer will preslude any
complaint to this conference. When
Mr.. Matlack's name was called. Rev. /.
7. Cooper inquired of the Bishop il
complaint had not been put into his
hand. The Bishop replied he did not
understand it as charge.
r.Cooper then said he made charge
of mal-administration in the case Of
George s. Hagany against beth him
and j. A. B. Wilson. 1t was then pass-
ed 80 as to give time to formulate the
charges This charge Of mal-adminis-
does not affect the character but
the administration Of the men. Mr.. Malta
lieu of Millingtsn addressed the con-
ference very atfectingly and interesting
ly on the subject Of the debt Of Milling
ton church in which he had given
thousands Of dollars, there remained
still debt Of three or four thousand.
He would make proposition if the con-
ference would devise means 10 give dve
hundred dollars, he would give the ball
anoe and set the church free. The toils
and saorifce of the benevolent gentle
man is worthy example 10 many other
church members whose means exceed
his,

Mr.. Bright, President of the Levy

opposition to having those persons
placed on the assessment list whose
names are justly entitled to appear
there. Here, where Mr.. Bright is bet
ter known than in Wilmington, he is
looked upon as a conscientious, up
right, honest and useful citizen, one
who would scorn to be guilty Of doing
low or mean action, even to further the
ends Of his party. Iknow that it his
desire to have all assessed who are en-
titled, but he is not the whole Court;
nor neither does he, or can he, assume
the role of q Dictator, and conseq aently
your structures on him are entirely too
severe and unmerited. Possibly some
Of the members would stcop to any
thing to accomplish their purpose Of
disfranchising their peers, poor in

Bright is not hand-in-glove with proud
perpetrators at any time. scrutinizs

AT rsJnrcn COURT.
How Arthur Emerson's Course OF
True Love Failed te Ran Smooth.

People at police court winked and
smiled last night at the only case thai
was tried. Samuel Burroughs, a man
Of a family, living in South Whining
ton, was charged by beardless swain
named Arthur Emerson with threaten
ing to kill him. The cause Of it all
was shown by the evidence to be the
persistent attentions OF Emerson to An.
mia Burroughs, daughter Of the defend
ant. The lovers took a walk together
last Monday evening, and the father,
thinking they had gone off to get mar
riea, armed himself with q pick-a1e
handle and pursued the recreant rair.
He found them In the house of Emer-
sons sister, between IL and IL o'clock.
He cut short the billing and ceoing,
and compelled his daughter to accom-
pany him home, and at the same time
threatened to punish young Emerson
with his hastily improvised oudgel.
Burroughs, II seems, had forbid Emer-
son paying attention to his daughter
until she was eighteen.
