American English.

A very erroneous impression gener-
ally exists in this country as to the
manner in which the English language
is spoken in the United States. This has
arisen in some degree from the circum-
stance that travellers have dwelt upon
and exaggerated snch peculiarities oflan-
guage ns have come under their obser-
vation in various parts Of the Union; but
also in greater measure from the fact
that in English novels and dramas in
which an American figures-no matter
whether the character depicted be rep
resented as man Of good social position
and, presumably, fair education, or not
he is made to express himself in dia-
let happily combining the peculiurities

from Maine to Texas. With. the cxcep-
ton Of the late Mr.. Anthony Trollope's

younger Fenton in Yatcs's "Black
Sheep;" or the American traveller in
''Mugby Junction''-in each and every
instance the result is to convey n most
erroneous idea as to the manner in which
our common tongue is ordinarily spoken
in the United States.
1t is the same on the stage. The dialect
on which Americans are usually made
to express themselves in English dramas
is rs incorrect and absurd as was the
language put into the mouths Of their
Irish characters by the playwright of
the carly part Of the eighteenth CEN
tury.
AS matter Of fact, the speech Of edu-
Gated Americans differs but little from
that of the same class in Great Britain;
while, as regards the great bulk Of the
people of the United States, there can be
no question but that they speak purer
and more idiomatic English than do the
masses here. In every State of the
Union the language of the inhabitants
can be understood without the slightest
difficulty. This is more than can be
said of the dialects of the peasantry in
various parts of England, these being
in many instances perfectly unintelli-
gIble to stranger. Again, the fucncy
OF expression and command Of language
possessed by Americans even in the
humber ranks Of life forms marked
contrast to the poverty Of speech Of the
same class in this country, where, as an
eminent philolgist has declared, very
considerable proportion Of the agricul-
tural population habitually make use
of vocabulary not exceeding 800
words.-Chamber'S Journal.

Politics Of the War.

WASHINGTON, February 2l.-The re-
discussion of the politiccl features Of the
terms first offered to Gen Johnston's
army and overruled at Washington is
likely to lean to the development of some
facts which are new. An ex officer Of
the volunteer forces, who was at Ralci. h
with Gen. Sherman's army, tells an
interesting story Of some private dis
cussions among prominent officers,
which were mainly confined to those
who commanded armies or corps. He
says that when the troops Of Gen. Sher-
nao formed junction with Gen .Scho-
fields army Goldsboro,, a plan for a
National Catservtive party, which was
said to have originated in Washington,
was laid before most Of the leading off,
GERS. Montgomery Blair was repre-
sented as the leading spirit at the Ma
tional Capital.
According to the views which were
presented for him through his brother.
Gen. Frank Blair, and other, there was a
very general dissatisfaction nj the North
with the radical views held by Secretary
Stanton. Secretary Chase Ben Wade
Zachsriah Chandler, Charles Sumner
and others. AS to Mr. Lincoln, it
was still question whether he would
finally side with the Radicals or favor a
co.'s
therefore proposed that the prominent
officers Of the army should unite in an
effort to influence the soldiers to favor,
so soon as the war ended and the ques-
ton Of reconstruction came up, the or
ganization Of National Conservative
party which should ignore all the Rad
ical leaders named and others of their
class: which should also exclude the
Northern Copperheads as necessary
condition to soldiers support; which
should be made up Of war Democrats
and Southern politicians and officers.
and provide prominent places for all
Northern officers who would join the
movement. The proposition was re-
ceiving much attention at the various
headquarters about Goldsboro' when the
news came Of the surrender, Of Lee. A
number of leading officers favored it,
and several were found, upon sounding
them, to be much opposed. 1t is be-
lievcd to have prompted the liberal spirit
with which Gen. Sherman acted when
making his terms with Gen. Johnston.
The excitement ut the North attending
the assassination Of President Lincoln,
and the Interpretation put upon the
Sherman terms by Secretary Stanton
made it impossible to pursue the plan
further at that time.
According to the same authority, later
in the same year Montgomery Blair and
those working with him in the matter
revived his scheme, and agents were
dispatched to various military head
headquarters to unfold it. The break ol
President Johnson with his party was
the result, and at the Arm-in- Arm Con:
vention in Philadelphia in August, 1866
the new party was organized upon the
. identical propositions originally sen,

The Southern Methodist Senate.

The General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South. meets
quadrennially, and, according to the
Book Of Discipline Of that Church, Gin
the month of April or May" Itmects
this year, and ut Richmond, Virginia
The one hundredth anniversary of the
Methodist Episcopal Church's formal
organization was celebrated in Decem-
Der, 1884, at the city Of Baltimore,
where the Church was organized at the
celebrated "Christmas Conference'' of
1884.
The original Methodist Episcopal
Church was separated into two distinct
branches. of CO. ordinate authority and
jurisdiction, by the action Of the General
Conference which met in New York
city in May, 1884. This was practically
the division of the Church into North
ern and Southern Church. The occasion
Of the division was the agitation Of the
slavery question. The Northern Church
kept the old lame, and is still called
the Methods. Episcopal Church. The
Southern Church took the name Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and
was formally organized into seperatc
body in ls45, at Louisville, Kentucky.
Its fist General Conference was held at
Petersburg. Virginia, in 1916.
The General Conference has met reg
ularly every four years since, except at
the appointed time in 1862, when the
civil war inter!erred. The session this
year will be the tenth. 1t will be COM
posed of nearly 275 members-one-hal
of whom will be laymen. The delegates
are elected by the annual Conferences,
each Conference being entitled to one
clerical delegate to every thirty-six
members, and to an equal number Of
lay delegates. The South Carolina Con-
ference at its recent session in Columb bia
elected the following delegates:

The Bishops preside at the sessions of
the General Conference, and in case no
Bishop is present the Conference
chooses president pro TEN. The bus
mess of the General, Conference is to
make rules and regulations for the
Church, under wise constitutional li,ni-
ta,ions, and to provide by necessary leg
lslation for running the machinery Of
this existensive and aggressive Church.
1t Will legislate for about one million
members, who are organized into forty
Conferences, distributed along the At
lantic and Gulf coasts, from Maryland
to Mexico. There are three Confer
ences on the Pacific coast, several in the
far West, one in the Indian Territory
and one in Illinois; besides the original
territory, in the Southern States, to
which the Church was at first confin-
ed.
Besides it's mission work in this coun-
try among the Mexicans, Indians, Ger
mans and in the Territories and on the
Pacific coast. the Church has missions in
China and Brazil. All these will engage
the attention Of the General Conference.
Several additional Bishops will be
elected.

 This evening at this opera house the spec tacular drama Lost in London, will be pre- sented for the first time in this city by New ton Beers and his company of artists. The Bridgeport Standard says of the piece, which was presented in that city last evening: MT. and Mrs. Beers acting was splendid, and a large audience applauded them. Of MT. Beers talent much has been said in our own columns. He has appeared here from time to time and with renewed success Now he has part peculiarly adapted to him. He seems to be the Swart King he repre- sents, and in his wandering in search of his lost wife his tenderness and devotion are so we'll portrayed that the severest critic could find no weak spot in his acting. The scenery is effective, realistic and the last scene beau tiful.

An Enormous Land Snake that Is
 Playing Havoc With Live Stock.
 BOSTON, Sept. 15.-A special to an even ing paper from Clinton, Mass, says: The interest in the sea serpent in this vicinity has suddenly been extinguished by the ap- pearance in the neighborhood of an enor- nous land snake which is playing havoc with live stock. The most extravagant stories have been told of the serpents size. The length given varies from twenty-five to forty-five feet and it's circumference from that of two gallon keg up to the size of 8 barrel. It is believed to be the reptile that escaped from travelling circus some four years ago and was never heard of afterwards. The lost serpent was a magnificent boa twenty-five feet long. The serpent that is now causing excitement has been seen by several people and nightly sheep and calves disappear, it is believed through the instru- mentality of the monster. Bands of hunters have started from surrounding towns to kill the serpent, but are badly frightened at the prospect of meeting it. The serpent haunts the locality known as the s'dismal swamps."

 READING, Mass, September 15.-The thirty-eighth anniversary of the Boston North Baptist association was held here to- day, the local church being packed. The committee appointed to investigate the Bow
 doin Square church reports that the associa-
 tion was voluntary and that it had right to
 sever connection with any delinque nt church for instance, any church which might openly allow it's members to indulge polyg- amy. The committee asked that the associ- ation dissolve it's connection with the Bow doin Square church. Rev. W. w. Downs objected to the report, but it was formally accepted. MT. Downs was allowed to speak and addressed the association for half an hour, reviewing the scandal with which he has been connected and protesting his inno- cence. When MT. Downs undertook to de- scribe the affair in Mrs. Tabor's room when the officers burst in the door he was eau tioned to discuss the subject in proper manner. He continued to talk until the association voted to cut off discussion. Mr. Downs especially requested that his church be allowed to withdraw and it was unani- mously granted.

An Elsquent Tempersnce Orator

Michael J. Tanning, the Michigan temper ance orator, addressed crowd of people frcm the steps of the old State House last night His speech was an eloquent one and was listened to with marked interest by his hearers. He spoke of prohibition as related to the labor interests, and held that neither of the two great parties came up to the scratch. He attacked free trade and protection as inconsequential to the working men, and held that prohibition was of in finitely more importance to the millions. The speaker challenged any leading Republican of this city to meet him in debate on the is- sues.
