A Sketch Of its Work.

Inc seventeenth SEMI annual SeS.
sion of the M. E. Conference for the
Huntsville District brought it's labor:
to close last Monday at noon.
The report Of the Presiding Elder
Or. A. S. Lakin, beginning with Ste.
venson and taking up each Charge,
represented good spiritual progress
in the work. The financial showing
was poor.

The following Temperance pledge
was adopted:
Resolved, That we as body of
Methodist preachers abstain from the
use of all kinds Of spirituous liquors
as a beverage and from the use Of to-
bacco.
The following Circuits were united:
Scottsboro with Stevenson; Gunters-
vile with Claysville.
Decatur was selected as the meet
ing place of the next District Con-
ference.
A resolution of thanks to the citi-
zens of Huntsville for their hospita-
BILE entertainment was offered and
unanimously adopted.
Ordered by the Conference that all
Local preachers who failed in the ex-
animation, be continued in the first
year for examination next year.
The Conference was quite rigid in
requiring higher qualification in
Local preachers and Exhorters ap.
plying for advancement. The COM
mittee put the test quite thoroughly
and applicants unable to read or
write and not exhibiting any great
amount of familiarity with the Scrip
lures were promptly set aside. To-
bacco chewers were knocked out
wherever found, unless they promis-
ed to reform. A higher STANDARD d in
the ministry is great need of the
day.

ertywould be swept from the face OF the earth,
than was lost in the last five years war; bank
ruptcy and paupersm would prevail; the only
rival England has in; the manufacture OF the
goods we most consume, would be destroyed, and
She would have monopoly. She would then
charge what she pleased for her product and offer
what he pleased for cotton, nd +. 100, at
her own price. Political schemes OF this char
acter are more revolutionary and dangerous
than even those proceeding 1860.
1t would seem incredible that Alabama, with
more square miles of coal and iron than the mil
lionaire State Of Pennsylvania, should be found
sending men to Congress whose votes will be cast
for Englands profit, to retard the development OF
her limitless mines and roll back the golden wave
that is setting to the South. This will conslgn

THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL

is measure which passed the Senate and went to
the House of Representatives April 7th,
1SS4-more than three months before its ad-
journment. This bill was never taken from the
Speakers table, but died with the adjournment,
though there was democratic majority in the
House of about seventy votes. The bill in SUBJ
stance provides that there shall be paid from the
Treasury, certain sums of money to be expended
in the States according to the ratio of iiteracy.
On this subject the democratic platform declares
that, ',ce opposed to any propositions, which,
upon any pretert would convert the general Gov
ernment into machine for collecting taxes to be
distributed among the states the citizens there

wise and judicious system Of general education
by adequate appropriations from the national
revenues whenever the same is needed" As a
matter of course, no man can advocate the Blair
Bill and stand on the democratic platform. He
Is on the Republican platform when he advocates
it. The people will never obtain educational
aid at the hands of the Democratic party. II
was placed at their feet in Congress and they re-
fused to stoop and pick it up. That portion Of
the bill which requires the state to appropriate
sum equal to that allotted to the state by Con

its corporal and file Of soldiers to fill it. As in
struments of the federal government for war
purposes they were more potent than cannon
or muskets. They are more dangerous to-day,
though more insidious to the people of the Uni
ted States than they were in 1863 as active war
agencies. The system conceived by that
great minister of finance, Mr.. Chase, when he
was driven to the wall and was compelled to pur-
sue his concession to the calculating money pow
er until he yielded to them monopoly of bank
ing privileges A man wishing to establish a
National Bank, took his 100000 in per cent.
bonds, and deposited them in the Treasury where
they remained his property, he drawing his
semi-annual interest; he then received his char
ter and $50, 900 in blank bank notes; to these he
signed the names Of the bank officers; this made
them money and the bank loans this $50 900 at
eight per cent. interest, which, with the seven
per cent. interest on his bonds, gives the bank
fifteen per cent per annum interest on the
500, 600 investment; other banks were subStan-
TALLY taxed out Of existence. This subsidy was
extorted from Mr.. Chase by the distress OF war;
the distress has long since passed away, but the
banks remain. The National Bank note circu-

gitimate child Of the constitution. Thus, the
way is open for remedial legislation in the fu-
ture.
