The Rev. Mr.. StaDsbury who, act
ing under the authority of Bishop
Brown, of the African Methodist
Episcopal Conference, attempted to
preach in the Bethel Church a few
Sundays ago, and had gone but q little
way beyond the text, before he was
unceremoniously elected into the
street by the church Trustees, has
lost his case in the Superior Court.
The Trustees, before the advent in
the city of the Rev. Mr.. Stansbury,
had hired the Rev. Mr.. johnson, Of
New Jersey, land were determined
that no one but he should preach to
them. The Rev. Mr.. Stansbury made
charges against his assallants, and
they were fined in the City Court for
assault. He also sued out a writ of
mandamus to compel the Trustees to
give him admission to the pulpit and

Miss Susan B. Anthony has written a
circular letter to all the members of the
House who were not present when 1t was
decided not to continue committee on
woman's suffrage, asking them which
way they would have voted had they
been present, the idea being, if there is
any chance of success to bring the reso
luton up again. The letter is written by
Miss Anthony's secretary and signed by
Miss Anthony. One of the members

The present pastor, Rev. Beverly
Jones, is much beloved by. his congre,
CATION, and by his efforts has sue,
ceeded in building the present house
of worship. The valuable piece OF
property once owned by this church,
situated in South Third street, was
sacrificed at a great loss, through bad
financial management The congre-
CATION worshipped in Franklin Hall
during the greater part of last winter,
but like the earnest band of workers
they are, finally surmounted all diff
culties, and again have the pleasure
of wor.hiping under their own vine
and fig tree. There are many hard
and earnest workers in the congrega
ton, principally among them being
Louis White, Messrs. Braxton, Moten,
Jackson and Jones. The choir at
tached to the church lacks that dis
cip!ine and training which character
ICES our other church choirs, but they
are making strenuous efforts toward
Improvement. The Sunday-school is
well attended, and is superintended
by Mr.. Robert Darlington. Proba
bly, the largest revival held in the
city this season was held at this
church, and was the result of adding
many to its membership.

Der Of the press now holding a seat in the
reporters gallery, against whom charges
have been or may be preferred, has been
guilty of conduct that ought TO deprive
him of his right to such seat.
Mr. Peelle, of Indiana, opposed the
amendment. He did not believe it fair
to the press or fair to the House to APP
point committee TO investigate immagi-
nary charges against reporters. No man
should be investigated unless he had
been named and charges brought for
ward.
Mr.. Warner modified his amendment
by striking out the words ''or may be, .
and as modified the amendment was
adopted.
Mr.. Kasson, of Iowa, moved to refer
the whole matter to the Committee on
the Judiciary, but this was defeated by a
party vote, and theresolution as amended
was adopted.
Gen. Boynton's Denial.
General BoyntOn, in an interview at
the close of General Keifer's speech yes
terday, said he had simply to say, on the
responsibility that he was soon to assume
under oath before the committee of in
vestigation, that he never had one word
of conversation with General Keifer on
the merits of the M'Garrahan bill at any
time or anywhere, except as stated in his
published letter, and that the pretended
details of a conversation with him as
given by General Keifer on the floor yes
terday formed one colossal falsehood
and that he desired his denial to be con-
sidered so broad as to cover every point
of that speech, and of his letter which
suggested Cprrupt action.
A Statement from ETr. Shaw.
VIM. b. Shaw, the special correspon-
dent whose name was mentioned in the
statement made by ex-Speaker Keifer
yesterday with regard to General Boyn-
ton, was asked last night what had
brought nm into the controversy. He
said: Mr.. Keifer must be in scsperate
straits when he finds necessity to resur-
rect story that was fully investigated
years ago and laid aside as not worth the
consideration of Congress. In regard to
the allegation made by Mr. Keifer that /
received $1,000 from the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, there is nothing
new in it, and my testimony in
the matter as given before a
committee of the House is a sufficient
refutaton of the charges he insinuates. |
suspect that the greatest Offense | have
been guilty of in Mr. Keifer's opinion
was to preside at a meeting of the cores
pondcnts in which the resolutions were
adopted that criticised somewhat unfavOr,
ably the official action of Mr. Keller in
throwing open the reporters gallery OF
the House to the crowd, to the exclusion
of legitimate newspapers, in the closing
hours OF the last Congress. -

marks made by Senator Thurman, Saturday
concerning the position taken by Mr.. Glib
son regarding an investigation into the al.
fairs Of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum AZ
Williamsburg. Mr.. Gibson, in speaking TO
the resolution he introduced into The
House, said he understood there were al
most as many officials nj the asylum ~
there were inmates, and that there We're
negro officials exercising authority over
white inmates.
Mr. Thurman, Of bedford, who is also q
member Of the board Of directors Of the usy-
lum, denied the statement
MIR. Gibson gave his reason for introduce
ing the resolution, declaring that he felt il
his duty rs representative of the people
TO make these inquiries. He also took oc-
casion to say that he did not believe in
members Of the General Assembly holding
places upon asylum boards when they had
To vote as legislators upon matters affecting
them rs asylum directors
In his remarks Mr. Gibson referred to
Senator Thurman rs "the member from
Goose creek" and he further said that
they the directors had not managed the
affairs of that asylum with serene sobriety
and had not devoted To the interests Of The,
institution that sober consideration which
they were entitled to"

A MAN Who BETRAYED ANDREW JOHN
soN.-Buck Lewis died a night or two ago
after brief illness. Lewis was at Que time
the body servant Of Andrew Johnson when
that distinguished Tennesseean was Presi-
dent Of the United States, and created quite
sensation in Washington about that time
by revealing some of the great commoner's
private affairs to the Presidents enemies.
This was done while the great impeachment
trial was going on aud when it was told became
the ruling sensation of the hour aud was com.
mon theme for speculation during many months
following. President Johnson discharged Lewis
at that time and he came back TO this city, where
he has remained since Lewis has since frequent
ly suffered great want, and he told friend of his
that President Iohnsons words, when he dis
charged him. had often come to his mind during
his misforunes The words referred to by Lewis
are these Take this 800 bill aud go where

Incorrect Coupons.

The Senate, on the 18th instant, agreed
to the following
Hr%oircd That the Auditor Of Public Ac-
counts be requested to inform this body
whether all the requirements of the statute
of March 80 1871, were followed in the issu-
incc of tho evidence of indebtedness of the
State under the statute.
Yesterday Auditor Marye replied, saying ::
II beg leave to renly that under the act Of
March 20, ISL, the treasurer was charged
with the duty of having prepared the bonds
with coupons and certificates to he issued.
The bonds and certificates were TO be signed
by the Treasurer and counter signed by the

signed by the Treasurer, or TAO smile of
Ills signature was to be stamped or engraved
thereon. By the law The bonds and COP
poms OF said issEo when returned in fund.- no

ond Auditor.

not enable mt To respond TO your inquiry,
referred the resolution, however, to the
Treasurer and Second Auditor, and am au-
Ihnrzcd by them to make the following
statement:
y comparison Of the bonds aud coupons
issued under the act of March 80, 1871, with
the term; 81 said act, shows that the bonds
are printed according to the terms of the
act, but the coupons are not. The variance
is this: The act provides that the coupons
shall lie payable semi-annnally and be re-
ceivablc ut aud after maturity for all taxes,
debts, dues, and demands due the State,
which shall he so expressed on their face.
The coupons as printed and issued have not
the word dues on their face.

nration upon this subject from w. r. Mere.
