The session of the Delhi District Con.
ference of tho M. E. Church South
closed Its exercises on tho 3Oth ult.
During the time occupied by it's labors
several sermons of great interest were
preached by ministers attending, Con-
spic.,oas among these were two ser
mons by Bishop Keener. They were
fully in keeping with the standard OK
pected Of him, and evinced great
thought ana considerable originality.
The Bishop made the ex erclses inter-
esttng by employing much humor in
interrogating tho preachers in reference
to the spiritual condition Of their vari-
GUS charges. The most of their reports
were unfavorable, as the country, in Il
greater portion of the district, has been
inundated. Withai, the session was
agreeable, and mnrh good, we hope,
will Ito tho outcome.

GEN. ". 8. HANCOCK.

If Gen. Phil Sheridan told q friend
last week, as reported, that In a race
for the White House Hancock would
beat Grant, then Gen. Phil Sheridan
has political sagacity.-N. Y. Sun.
And we think II Gen. Phil Sheridan
did not say what he is reported to have
told his friend, then he is sna,sti,g in
political sagacfty. We have maintained
from the beginning that the noinina-
tlon Of Grant was no bar TO the nomi-
nation, of Hancock, but would be a
conspicuous, IL not paramount reason
for nominating him. Grants personal
war achievements opposing he car
rles Chicago either by storm, or Siege
are no greater than Hancock g, and by
no more than Lees outshf.ie Jackson's,
except that Grant was Hancock's chief,
and thus absorbed all heglory of every
general and private In subduing the
South. On the score OF courage, skill,
devotion, manly blows and results,
Hancock is the peer Of any commander
who fought against the South, aud on
that score nothing Is to be appreheuded
from contrast with Gen. Grant. 't,i- .
But should this not be mathemati-
caliy, or even sentimentaliy, true, the
nomination Of Hancock will bring
with 1t no such obstacle as question:
bic loyalty, OF lack of wounds received
In preserving the Union intact, as will
be the case # Bayard is nominated, or
In the nomination of almost any other
Democrat now prominently urged for
the nomination. Remembering the
tactics of the Republicans since the
War, we are anxious to see tho Demo-
Gratis enter the canvass with leader
free from all manner Of suspicion as to
his loyalty to tho Union, so that the
question may be eliminated, and the
South, the .ssolid South" not be any
longer burthened with an issue so
easily banished into political exile.
Make it worthless baggage abandoned
camp cquipage land the South Mt once
has tho advantage OF making an ag-
gressfve campaign, which is the true
and safer plan of battle, now that the
Republicans arc losing power, and
which must be pursued In the ap-
preaching campaign if the Democrats
are to be successful. ... Hit
There are other cogent reasons tor
the nomination of Hancock. We shall
not do ofiense to the intelligence of the
reader by contrasting the civil records
of Grant and Hancock. AS we'll at
tempt parallel between treacherous
cape and bold, towering promontory.
Grant, the military dragon In civil
office, Hancock, the civilian and states
man In military command,-and you
have the true analysis of the characters
and records Of the two men. .
With Gen. Hancock for President,
and ex-Gov. Palmer, or Mr.. Morrison,
both of Illinois, for Vice-President,
we shall have no apprehensions of de-
feat, no matter whether the Chicago
convention settles upon Grant, or upon
some other disciple of Radicalism,

Our national interests, varied and pro-

GEN. HANCOCR'S LETTER or 40
CEPI,ANCE

We publish in another column General
Hancock's letter of acceptance. 1t is an
able and patriotic production and has the
ring of the statesman-soldier and the sol
dier-statesman. His bold and manly decla-
ration at the very start, to the effect that
the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution, 'embody-
ing the results of the war of the Union"
are to be regarded as sacred andinviolable, is
decidedly opportune, uttered at the right time
by the right man, and must disarm those
whose vocation for the past twenty years
has been the preaching of hate and distrust.
His reverence for the Constitution as the
supreme law of the land and his expressed
determination in case of his election to its
full maintenance and support must and will
evoke the warmest admiration of all who
feel an interest in the security and glory of
our country and its institutions.
Grasping, as though with an intuitive
sense, that vital principle which underlies
the system of our government that fraud
IiluSb nOt SuDftIl, lOl iOlNt heoNiOJ h"ihNi y
a faithful and honest administration of the
laws, he has risen to a sublime recognition of
the monstrous wrong that has followed in the
violent abuse of this sacred function, and has
most clearly expressed that which the phi
losphy of history has shown the purest and
noblest constitutions and the wisest and
most humane laws are useless unless they
are honestly and impartially executed.
He does not forget TO allude in the most
forcible and practical manner to that branch
of civil service reform to be permanently
established and recognized by the people in
filling the elective Offices. lie is in favor of
an active appreciation Of high standard Of
qualification for Office, that which will best
develop healthy and efficient discharge
of the duties of the office and operate in sue
cessfully rejecting those who may he cor
rupt or incompetent.
In language that is as forcibie as his desire
is ardent he urges Us to the cultivation
of friendly sentiments, such sentiments OF
friendship as will strengthen the bond OF
Union and oblitcratc sectional hate or dis
cord
His appreciation ofhu economical admin
istration of the government is best eyinced
in the earnest and emphatic way in which
he has alluded to our public credit and that
system of legislative enactment and gener-
Gus rivalry as will encourage and give inn
petus to the industries of the country, and
thus enable us to extend our commercial re
lations TO every land the sun shines upon.
In short, TO sum up the admirable parts of
this splendid document of State, is to pro
nounce it such as to challenge the admira-
ton of the heart and mind. 1t brings about
the restoration OF confidence in the expires
sions of a man whose ability i recognized,
whose patriotism has been tried and whose
nomination for the highest Office in the land
tells of the coming dawn of that splendid
era that is To naugura,e the restoration of
peace and prosperity.

DARIUS CLAGETT.

Mr., f. l.. Moore Thy note requesting a
statement Of wheat crop came duly to hand.
sowed 20 acres of wheat last fall all but one
acre with 0ne-Fourth Fertilizer. Aimed to
get on 400 pounds per acre, but fell short OF
that amount from rs to so pounds except on
the first acre, where we put on 600 pounds.
My crop averaged about 224 bushels per acre.
The acre where the 600 pounds was put on
was best all through the season, and would
have yielded, if thrashed alone perhaps 80 or
IS bushels per acre. A heavy dressing would
have paid this dry season but for wet sea-

pounds per acre, but at considerable greater
cost. could see no difference in the wheat
