egates met at different places on the
mountain and the result was two
different sessions Of the convention
and neither knew of the existence of
the other until the night session. Two
sets of minutes were present one by
each secretary. The same line of
business was pursued by both and
the matter was passe as the browning
pleasantly Of the day.
My article is already long enough,
but must not close without word
Of praise for the Penny Savings
Bank and its able managers. Mes
srs. White and Willis 1t was through
the courtesy and energy of these gen.
tlemea that the convention was CIV

mountain. Mr.. Willis acted as con.
ductor of the excursion trains which
carried the delegation. On our re-
turn the delegation in u body visited
the bank. where we met a cordial
welcome by the gentlemen already
PANIED. Let not the reader imagine
that this bank is all on paper. 1t is
not, it is Oh one of the most promi-
nent streets in the city. Has cap.
ital stock of fifty thousand dollars
and every thing looks as respectful
and digni6ed and as business like as
either Of our banks in Huntsville.

That these meetingsare doing good
to the colored race of this city and
the country at large can readily be
seen by the attention with which the
proceedings Of the convention are
listened to by the audience.
Among the visiting delegates are
some Of the brightest lights Of the
colored race, notably being DR..
Hammond, Of Ohio. who is celebra-
ted speaker, and DIR. Revels- The

The negro race is a highly pro-
gressive one. 1t has shown itself to
be endowed with an energy and
characteristic traits that fit it for
great deeds in the onward march Of
the worlds civilization. This state
ment is forcibly emphasized in the
deliberations of the presiding elders
Of the Southern conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal church who
have Just closed their session in the
Wiley Memorial church in this city.
For q long time this race Of people
was loaded with peculiar contempt
and referred to with expressions Of
sarcastic utterance by those who pro-
fessed to see nothing in them more
than the mere brute and fit only for
the most degrading manual labor.
But after twenty five years Of free
dom they have exhibited progress
in civilization and the arts never
seen In any other people and are
challenging the admiration even Of
those who formerly regarded them
only as beasts of burden on level
with the OK and the ass. No one
who witnessed any of the proceedings
Of the body above referred to could
but be greatly impressed with the
acumen and knowledge. the sound
common sense and the practical wis,
dom manifested by.these representa-
tive of this race as they sat in codn>
sci together upon the issues pertain
ing to the better advancement Of
their kilh and kin. The proceed !.
inys would have done credit to any
body of men of whatever nationality
or color and we are glad to take this
opportunity in emphasizing the re
markable development Of this erst,
while degraded and enslaved people.

A SERIOUS charge.

lie Baltimore oUW pubitsheu thc
following serious charge against the
clerks Office Of Dorchester county
Mr.. Robert G. Henry, of Dorchester
county, late deputy clerk of the Cir
cult Court and democratic candidate
for the clerkship at the last election,
has preferred serious against Mr..
Lake, the clerk OF the Circuit court
for that county, and has c0mmunl-
Gated them, with documentary eyi-
dence, to the Governor. Mr. Lake
was elected ON the republican ticket
clerk Of the Circuit Court for Dor
chester County twelve years ago. BY
the next election he had become a
democrat, and was nominated for the
clerkship by that party and re cleo
ted. This year he was candidate
for re nomination before the demo
cratic convention, but was beaten for
the nomination by Robert G. Henry
his deputy. He then went into the
fusion movement and was nominated
on that ticket and elected by large
majority. Now Mr.. Henry, who has
been deputy for many years, writes
to the Governor, accusing his former
chief, Mr.. Lake, of making false re-
turns Of the receipts of his office to
the treasury of the State and swear
ing to these false returns, knowing
them to be false. Lakes reply to
the charges was that his deputy, Mr..
Henry, had conducted the office, and
if there were any irregularities he
alone knew of them and had perpe-
tla'ed them; that he, Mr.. Lake, had
no Knowledge of them. In rejoinder,
Mr.. Henry produced anote said to
be in Lakes handwriting, but not
bearing his signature, giving direc-
ton to Henry how to reduce the ap.
parent amount of the receipts of the
Office from some $4,000 down to 49,,
900 The clerks are compelled by
law to pay over to the State all re
ceipts Of the office over So, 900 a year
after the payment of the expenses of
the office. One of the methods sug-
gested in tins paper was to cut down
the sum of $2,S15, which the books
showed that the county had paid to
the clerks office, SO that it should
appear in the statement of rece pts
of the Office at 50, 900, and to reduce
the apparent receipts from other
fees between one and two hundred
dollars. All this was accordingly
done Mr.. Henry's charges were
referred by the Governor to the
attorney general. who examined the
documentary evidence submitted to
him, and then suggested that AS Mr..
Poe will be sworn in on the l4th inst.
the papers should be sent 10 him,
which was done. The Governor has
directed the States attorney for Dor
chester county to proceed in the
matter without delay, and has sug
gested that he request the court to
call the grand jury in special session.

The study on 1.-THE Old Nature" by
Mr.. Sayford yesterday was the most in
teresting of the afternoon meetings.
These are continually increasing in at
tendance, and are perhaps more help
full to Christians than the evening adj
dresses. The change i'll the hour to 4:30
brought out more business men than at
any previous meeting. But, as Mr..
Sayford said about his own business be-
fore his conversion, ''lt is easy enough
to arrange your business so that it does
not suffer if you wish to 20 to a horse
race, but it is impossible for most men
TO do it in order to study about God"
The meeting in the evening was we'll
attended. The address was upon "Plen-
teous Redemption" 1t was a solemn
meeting, and many Christians expressed
their desire to live nearer God than they
had before. Almost all of Mr.. SayfOrd'S
efforts thus far have been to raise the
standard of Christian living among
church members. Night after night the
same people drink in his words as if
they had never heard the Bible teach
ingS before. They certainly never heard
them eXpOunded by a sincerer man.
Sayford to remain over Sunday to adj
dress a meeting of men again. Many
would like to hear an address similar to
that of last Sunday.
The subject this afternoon is "The
New Nature" at 80 o'clock. The
evening service continues at 7:45.

NEW PRESIDING ELDER.
Rev. Mckinley Succeeds Rev.
Forbes in the Office.

Rev. Robert Forbes, presiding elder
of the Methodist church of this district,
has resigned, and Bishop Fitzgerald has
appointed as his successor Rev. William
Mckinley, of Hamline. The latter gen.
tleman entered on the duties of his po-
sition week ago, Immediately after his
appointment. Rev. Mr.. Forbes at once
retired to private life, and will rest en-
tirely from church work for a time.
Elder Forbes is one of the beSt-knoWn
ministers in the state. and certainly one
of the most Woodworking. He was
formerly pastor of the Bates Avenue NJ.
E. church, in which position he was
succeeded by Rev. j. III. Dewart. The
cause of the resignation of Mr.. Forbes
is the subject of widespread comment
III Methodist circles. 1t is asserted in
some quarters that the result has been
brought about by unfortunate domestic
affairs, and in others that the rev.
erend gentleman has become mentally
unbalanced as result of overwork. A
couple of months ago Rev. Mr.. Forbes
went abroad in the hope of regaining his
health, but he returned almost immedi-
ately and is said TO have derived no
benefit from the trip. The resignation
is much regretted by the late elders

and laymen of the church, who have
recognized his great and Jealous work

1t Didn't Pay.

TORONTO. Ont, May 4.-Last year the
canal tariff on coal coming from upper
lake ports was reduced from 20 to 10
cents for Canadian vessels at the re-
quest of the marine association, the OBJ
ject being to aid the native craft in their
endeavor to get share of the through
coal traffic. This season the old rate has
been restored by the department of
canals at Ottawa on the ground that the
10 cent rate was merely tentative and
did not yield enough revenue to defr ay
the cost of the inspection of the vesSe Is.
