The market for wool has presented no new

in the Judgment of your correspondent,
they will be for years to come, all that
their friends asked for them from this
General Conference
Much. more could be said in review of
what the Conference has failed to do, but
your readers will be interested in a few
items with reference to what has been
done since my last letter.
Friday of last week it was decided by
the Conference that hereafter the white
schools of the South shall receive aid in
common with the colored schools of that
section from the Freedman's Aid Society
On Saturday occurred the first and only
call for the separation of the
LAYMES AND MINISTER'S
In the taking of the vote on pending mo-
ton. The motion was to consolidate two
papers published in the South which have
lost the Church large sum OF money. A
majority of the ministers opposed this con-
solidation, but most of the laymen, as a
measure OF business economy, favored it,
and they wanted to put themselves on
record in this matter. Hence the call by
a layman for this separation in voting-a
call which was sustained, though the rum
pus which ensued, consuming two hours of
precious time, would have disgraced a po-
litical convention.
The proposition to introduce lay repre-
sentatives into the annual Conferences
came to an untimely end. The committee
to consider this measure reported in favor
of it, and were confident their report
would be adopted; but, to their deep
modification, they have now learned that
the best prophets cannot always tell be-
forehand what the General Conference will
do, for ere the discussion on the report
had progressed very far, Mr.. Taylor, an
Ohio lawyer, got the floor, and after a rat
ting little speech, ia which he said,
among other things, that he could see no
good purpose that laymen could serve in
the annual Conferences unless it was to sit
on the platform with the bishops, to show
off their good looks, he moved to lay the
recommendation of the committee on the
table, which motion prevailed by vote OF
1874 to l56.
The Committee on Episcopacy recon-
mended the Conference to elect Mission
airy Bishop for Liberia. This was another
effort to get coiored man on the Episco-
pal Board, but it failed so completely as
not to be even considered by the Confer
ence.
Since my last the following officers have
been elected J. w. Phillips and Sanford
Hunt, book agents at New York j. l.
Walden and W. P Stowe, book agents at
Cincinnati Z. @. Fuller, editor Methodist
Advocate, Atlanta, Ca; j. G. Hanzell,
editor Southeastern Aduocate, New Or
leans B. F. Cary, editor California 4dyo-
cate, San Francisco.
The Conference, on account of its great
haste to adjourn, left much important busi-
ness unfinished.
The next General Conference will be
held at Philadelphia in May, 1854.

a really meritorious article is made up of CON-

overruled the motion and the case was con-
tinued till tomorrow, as the Mayor has thus
far eluded the officer who is to serve him

how be cured himself of drunkenness by the
help of Hop Bitters. His is wonderful case.
He is well known in Rochester, N. Y, by all
the drinking people there. He is known in

in fact, all over the country, as he has spent
thousands of dollars for rum. honestly be-

names but no relief and now she is restored

fused, and hot words followed. Fuqua then
get on the horse, rode a mile, procured a
pistol, and returning shot Rice, killing him
Instantly. Several persons were present, but
having no arms could not prevent the muir
derer from escaping. The latter remained
secreted in Lake county for three months,
and then left for the Modoc country. a re-
ward of $500 was offered for his arrest.
There are now in this jail one convicted
murderer, two persons charged with forgery,
two with burglary, one for murder, and one
for assault to murder.

As result of an extended inquiry into
the phenomenon of the passivity of iron,
the nature of which has been very little
understood, M. Varenne, French chem
ist, believes he has succeeded in proving
the phenomenon to be due entirely to a
gaseous film on the surface of the metal, a
conclusion which seems to be confirmed by
the fact that the passive condition is over
come by shocks, feeble current of gas or
of electricity, and finally by the fact that
such passivity ceases entirely in a vacuum.
