We may well pause a moment and .
contemplate the results of this begin .
ming. There are very few men in this
country who do not attribute the great |
struggle on slavery largely to the atti- |
tude of Methodism. This small Christ /
mas Conference of sixty Methodist /
preachers, deereed in the name of the |
Golden Rule, the Declaration of Inde- |
pendence, and every principle of the
Revolution, that slavery should be eX-
tirpated. And it has been extirpated.
The friends of slavery, and they were
many and powerful, said it should be
perpetuated and extended. 1t is a mat
ter Of history, not only written in
books, but craven in the deepest scars
and most painful experiences of many
living men, how they sought to perpet-
uate this great evil, but it was all in
vain, it died and perished forever.
To-day the Methodist Episcopal
Church stands on the same ground
these distinguished fathers did, on the
temperance question. We have inheri-
ted our sentiment and our league of
determined strife against the liquor
trade and the drinking habit, from the
! position assumed at the very organiza-
tion of the Church. We may honor
these noble men for their correct views
and consistent position.
A skillful architect forms a cOncep-
ton of the edifice to be erected Its
details are wrought out in his mind.
It's proportions, apartments, ornaments
and arrangements are all complete as
he contemplates them. The Metho-
dist Episcopal Church is as yet an un-
/ finished edifce. As we now see it it
has magnificent proportions. Its foun-
dation stones are laid in Europe, Asia
and Africa, as we'll as America. Its
apartments and arrangements compre-
hend the religious needs of the world.
Its ornaments are the historic events
in the interests of human liberty and
ightenment, which are already set
as capstones upon buttresses and col
umns that stand as firm as 1.-THE ever
lasting hills" We do not suppose that
either Coke or Asbury, greeting each
other so fOndly at Barratt's Chapel,
imagined all we see, or knew where
unto this Church, planted in the wild
erness, would grow but we do sup
pose, that as the oak is in the acorn,
so this mighty edilice is the outcome OF
their religious convictions, hopes, pur-
poses and doings. Then, as we rejoice
in our heritage, and thank God for the
inspiration which hope of dominion fol
Christ in all the world begets in us
and feel and believe that we of the
Methodist Episcopal Church are set fol
the triumph of the right, the elevation
of men, and the glory of God, so We
conceive, that by the measure of these
trancendently valuable things, we may
estimate the importance of that meet

Merchant Tailoring.

We have a very full
stock of the finest Foreign
and Domestic Suitings to be
found. Our Cutters and
Tailors are the best. What
we have said about prices
will the more readily be seen
in this department, as any
business man can readily
see how we can afford to
make them much lower. We
do an immense trade and
hope to increase it, we are
sure we will when the people
find us out, as many have
done. We are now making
great preparations for the
Fall and Winter trade, and
want everybody to know it
and come and see us.

A BIG SUIT.-Much interest was felt
in the case of Whedbee & Dickinson VS.
Geo. w. Williams, Administrator of
David r Murchison. The suit was one
involving e large sum ofmoney, the pro-
ceeds Of a sale of bonds ofthe Carolina
Central railroad, which were purchased
from a pool in New York. The plain
tiff, Whedbee, claims that he had an I'M
d~erstauding with Murchison to the effect
that if the slatter wished to buy the
bonds as an Investment he could do so,
but if bought to sell again he was to
share with him in the profits; that Muir
Gibson did afterwards sell the bonds to
the Seaboard railroad, without dividing
the proceeds. The defense claims that
Murchison bought the bonds as an in
vestment; that his sale of them was an
after-thought /; and that the plaintiff was
not entitled to a share of the profits.
Among the witnesses were a number
of prominent gentlemen, John NJ. Rob-
inson, John D. Williams, and others.
Mr.. Williams while under cross-exami-
nation as to his financial standing, testifi-
ed that his stock in the business of Messrs
Williams, Murchison & Co., of New
York, was worth 5000, 900, and that he
could raise a quarter of million dollars
in a days time. This fact is here stated
by way Of showing what can be done in
even old Rip Van Wrinkle North Caro-
lima. Mr.. Williams began life as a far
mer's boy.
