CONFERENCE ACADEMY.
DOVER, DEL, March 10. 1881.

DOVER, DEL, March 10, 1881.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Our attention has
been called to the publication in your
columns of the following paragraph:
"rhe Wilmington Conference Aca-
denny, which has had heavy debt
upon its hands for several years, ON
which it is now unable to pay the in
terest, will likely be allowed by the
Conference to be sold. For several
years the influence of the Conference
has prevented its sale, and it Ii con-
sidered no longer expedient to do 30.
In event of its sale, it will probably be
purchased by private parties, yet run
as Methodist school,"
We know not by what authority
this publication was made, and there
fore intend no personal thrust at any
one, but deem it our duty, as officers
of the Academy, to denounce the al
legation, by whomsoever made, to be
unqualifiedly untrue, and we fear,
| malicious.
The Academy is now In O better
condition financially than it has ever
before been, and has a larger number
OF students than it has ever before had.
The entire debt of the Academy, with
the exception of 50, ,150, is held by Cit
liens of this town. Of this 81, $50,
fifteen hundred will net be due until
1885.
Who the wiseacre that knows so
m uch about the condition of the
Academy can be, we are not informed.
We say to every person interested that
the A Academy will not be sold, but
will continue to exist as a monument
to Methodist enterprise.
We take pleasure in acknowledging
the obligations of the Academy to the
Conference for It's constant support and
sympathy, and to the members there
OF for the pecuniary aid they have so
generously rendered it ard for their
personal influence in its behalf.
We, also, desire to extend to the lay
men of the church and all other patrons
of the Academy, the thanks of the
trustees for their support and pecuni.
ary aid, and beg leave to assure both
ministers and laymen of our sincere
belief that this worthy object of their
munificence and fostering care need
not and will not prove failure, but
will continue to exist as al enduring
testimonial of the wisdom of its foun-
ders, under the auspices and subject
to the visitation of the Wilmington
Conference.

TAKEN FROM THE TRAIN

Just before the departure of the
2:l5 tain for New York, this morn
ing, John Gallagher, puddler from
New York, being very drunk, acted
in such a disordetly manner that
Sergeant Jones elected hun from the
depot. He boarded the train on its
arrival, and during the few minutes
it stopped amused himself by max
ing faces at Sergeant Jones and Off
GERS Richardson and Thomas. No
notice was taken of this, but just as
the train moved of he came TO the
door and cried out, "Go to hell, you
Delaware sons of b-s," where
upon officer Richardson sprang upon
the platform and snatched him oil
upon the pavement. He was taken
to the police station and this morns
ing Mayor Almond fined hun one
dollar and costs.

We think this is fair statement of the Ques-
ton, and while We do not assume 10 say how IL
should be decided, we feel confident that the
Receivers win decide it rightly and justly. They
have always shown disposition to do all in
their power to serve the many diverse and con-
fictlng interests entrusted to them in . just and
impartial manner, and we believe they will con-
tinue 10 do long as they retain control OF the
road.
The FLoRIDHAN's information is to the effect
that the people along the line of the road, espe-
cially the business men, IS well ~ the railroad
operatives themselves, very greatly prefer night
schedule; and that the officials of the Florida
Central road are ready at any time to adopt
night schedule The Sunday train on the Live
Oak branch has been discontinued within the
past few days, and the necessity OF an improve
ment in our mail facilities on week days, thus
rendered all the more important; and the demand
for change on the part of the people all along
the line, will scarcely be satisfied with anything
| less than the adoption of schedule which shall
deliver the mails without the present delay.
The FLoRIDIAN has taken considerable pains
10 follow this matter up and get at the " true in
wardness" of it. 1t is one in which the entire
people of the eastern and southern portions Of
the State are equally interested with the railroad
companies, and its solution may now be looked
| for at an early day.

The New York Legislature is still engaged in
the performance of its Justly celebrated and
great emotional and sensational dramatic mas
ter-piecep entitled "Vindication, or Ways that are
Dark and Tricks that are Vain"
The monotony of the performance was varied
last week, by a cunning attempt on the part of
Governor Cornell to bring matters to crisis by
deciding that he would not count the votes Of
Jacobs on the ground of ineligibility, he being
State Senator; but the Democrats held caucus
and selected Clarkson N. Potter to take the
place of Jacobs They also resolved that all
pairs should be submitted TO committee, and
that they would vote as a unit for final adjourn
ment whenever opportunity offered The last
vote Of which we have news was taken on Sat

The virtuously indignant Brady, Of Star.route
swindle fame, made bold effort to create di-
verson among his enemies on Thursday by APP
pealing, through his counsel, TO the District
Criminal Court for a speedy hearing by the
grand jury Of the charges against him. The
counsel for the Government simply stated in re-
ply that the Governments case was not ready
for the grand jury, that it was being prepared as
fast as possible, and that when ready 1t would
be presented, and not before. The court very
properly ruled that it would not undertake to
hasten matter of so much importance, and that
the injured Brady must bide his time.

The Land Sale.

The article in another column on the four
million land sale, taken from the FLoRIDIAN,
will be read with interest by all. The Union
has already informed its readers of the sale and
some of the particular points in the contract be-
tween the State and purchasing company. We
haartlEd d6 dor See How there can be any ques
ton concerning the wisdom of the SALE 1t may
be matter of regret, as suggested by the Fer
nandina Mirror, that our poverty and past inn
providence cOmpels US 10 part with so large a
portion of our public lands, but since the fnan-
cial embarrassments of the Internal Improve
ment Fund were so heavy, and growing year by
year more onerous and pressing, there was but
one way out, and that way the present admins
tration has happily found.
The purchasing party is composed of live bus
mess men they have made the investment be-
cause they believe it will pay, and we may rest
assured that they will take such course in the
management of their purchase as will, in their
opinion, render 1t the most productive. An
idea of their plans may be gathered by the state
ment of few facts: An agent of the company
will leave New York tomorrow (25lh) for Eu-
rope; an Office will be established in London at
once; they have applied for five thousand PAM
phlets on Florida, 10 be distributed in England,
Ireland and Scotland, and for translation into
French, German, Spanish and Italian. These
facts indicate that the company will at once be-
come an active immigration agency, operating
in Europe, and with that greatest of all ncen-
lives, self interest, melting them to a thorough
working OF the field. We are also assured that
English capital. to very large amount. has been
offered, and that great interest has been shown
by German capitalists in the enterprise. Ex-
Governor Stafford, one of the directors of the
company, is expected here within the next few
days, in company with a California gentleman,
whose business is the settling of German colon
lists. He proposes TO examine the country, with
viIw to bringing hither immigrants from that
country.
The Union does not believe in going into
ecstacies over this or any other schemes IL thinks
the best way is TO keep cool. judge every enter
prise by the actual developments as they occur
and patiently wait for accomplished results be-
fore Growing very loudly; but ii recognizes the
fact that when far-seeing and successful business
men put their money into any enterprise, that
they have faith in its success. Judged by this
test the people of Florida justified in expect
ing something more than promises from the
gentlemen who have invested so largely In our
lands, and who have undertaken one of the
largest contracts for reclamation of overlooked
lands ever made in the entire history of civiliza

1T seems that Col. Dudley, of Indiana, the
new Commissioner of Pensions, was not an APP
plicant for Mr.. Bentley's shoes. He had been
about Washington for some weeks, hopeful of
an Office, in view of his services in Indiana prior
TO Dorsey's assumption of command there. but
had fixed his aims on the Patent rather than the
Pension Bureau; still, as Mr.. Garfield wanted to
get place empty in the latter, and Col Dudley
was open to any really good, empty place, they
were not long in coming TO terms.
The bayonet will soon be abolished The
report of the surgical department of the French
government showed that of the wounded in the
Franco Prussian war less than one-half of one
per cent had been wounded by the bayOnet, al
though there had been many bayonet charges
and fights. The minister of war accordingly
recommended that the bayonet be dispensed with
and banished from the army as unnecessary and
superfuous The chief of the ordinance bureau
at Washington makes a similar recommendation
for our army.

Capt. VIM. B. Davis, who came TO Florida
before the Indian war, died at Greenwich, Conn,
short time since. At the outbreak of the Indian
war, although he was favorite with them, but
knowing their treachery, he embarked with the
other settlers, about thirty in number, in rickety
boats for St. Augustine, place of safety. After
some years he again returned to Fort Capron un-
der command of Capt. Doubleday, and took
charge of the cutter to bring supplies to the quar-
termaster. Upon the opening of the civil war,
being Unionist he was at his wits end to know
where to flee for safety. Captain Baxter, of the
Z. s. Brig, Gem of the Seas, stationed off the
coast, hearing of his danger, took him TO Key
West. After many years OF poverty and distress
there he was appointed keeper of the Jupiter
Light and remained there until his infrmities
disabled him from performing the duties of
the position. He then returned to Fort Capron
which at that time was a settlement of three
families Here he was found by member Of his
family who urged him TO return North 10 live
