| The New York Journal of C0Ha-


plcrce, in noticing the rejection by the


Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of


the offer of union from the Methodist


Episcopal Church, North, says:


The Southern Conference have decided
unanimously against reuniting with the
Northern branch. This determination
will be less disappointing to the Northern
NethOdists than if an opposite course


had been expected by them. The propo-


sition made by the Northern Conference,
was of q character that evidently antici-
pated rejection-if it was not put for


ward expressly to be rejected. Judged
by those rules of etiquette which apply
as fully to religious as secular matters,


the offer of the Northern Commissioners


could not have been accepted without
some humiliation and loss of sell respect


upon the part of the SOutherners. In de-


Ginning it they but acted as the dignita-
ries of any Church in the world would
act under like circumstances.


''The instructions given to the Commits
siOners from the Northern Conference di-
rected them first to confer with the late
Commission from the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church with q view 10 q
union, and afterwards to negotiate with


similar Commissions from any Methodist


Church that may desire like union
The colored Methodist Church is here
mentioned by name and put first as the
principal object of Northern solicitude,

branch. To the latter it appeared, as a

One of the many stories floating about
Paris in connection with the ravages of
the smallpox, is that of a lover who has
taken the disease from his lady and has
become frightfully pitted in consequence,
while she escaped with an unbroken skin.
At their first meeting, after both had re-
coverd, he dropped on his knees before the
lady and pointing to his face thanked her
for so many marks of love.

A Sacramento Union editor in the issue
of Tuesday last, under the head of "Aim
Of the Bourbons," airs bis ignorance and
satisfies his malignity by attacking the Dem
ocratic party through some remarks reported
to have been made by Senator Thurman, OF
Ohio, in a late speech. If the Union writer
believes his own deductions, he deserves to
be pitied by all men, and, if not, then
the want Of courage is all that will keep him
from making his mark in the world as a
great criminal. We think it very likely that
Senator Thurman did say that neither the
thirteenth, fourteenth, or fifteenth amend
ments were legally adopted or valid as part
of the Federal Constitution, because such is
the literal and judicial fact. But in this
opinion the Union discovers the rc-enslave-
nent of all the negroes or the taxation of the
north for the payment of their old masters
for their value, as soon as the Democracy
regain power We used the word "ignor-
ance," because, if the Union writer believes
that one man out of thousand in the Dem
ocratic party would consent to such a re-en-
slavement, or payment for the negroes, then
his superlative innocence is established The
Southern States, at the urgent demand OF
President johnson, abolished slavery in their
own State Constitutions, as well as forever
repudiated the Confederate debt; and this
was the only abolition of slavery that ever
occurred in the country which is legal or
binding The submission of the thirteenth
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments by a
Congress in which portion of the States
were deprived of representation, was void
and illegal, and their ratification by those
unrepresented States was no more legal OF
binding than would be a treaty by the pris-
oner Napoleon, or the obtaining of money by
n robber at the muzzle of cooked pistol.


Senator Thurman is second to no man in
America to-day, as a statesman and const-
tutonal lawyer. Indeed, for the last decade
he has stood as the larger and legal advis-
er Of lawyers in the very center of popula-
ton, civilization and craftsmanship, the great
Central States of the Union without peer


When the Union says, "either this gen
eral REINSTATEMENT or else compensation for
the lost negroes, is what Thurman and his
sort are laboring for" it perpetrates a silly
SANDER which every intelligent man in the
country knows is falsehood, and one that
is SO gross and unjustiGable as to make us
regret to find it in the columns of any paper
claiming intelligence and rcspectability.

done or is doing it. Ours is not the sort Of

A New LAND DISTRICT. The late laws


passed by Congress for the disposal of mi


ming as well as agricultural lands adds i'm


mensely to the business of the Land Offices


and demands the creation of new districts at
eligible points. The constant contests be-
tween the various claimants under the differ
ent laws for the disposal of quartz mines and
agricultural lands and the attendance of nu-
merous witnesses renders it an absolute hard
ship, and often defeats the ends of Justice


where parties are poor to drag them fifty and
hundred miles to Land Office To meet
the wants of the public in this regard Land
Office should be established at Auburn. This
district should comprise Sierra, Nevada and
Placer counties and all that portion Of Ell
Dorado county lying north of the South
Fork of the American river. This territory
is sufficiently large, and under the approach
ing magnitude of the land business would
furnish all the business one Office could do,
and do it properly. The President is au-
thorized to form new land districts wherever
the wants Of the public demands them, and
this territory cries aloud for one and Auburn
is the business center where it should be To-
Gated. The increased business in the first
year would more than remunerate the Gov
ernmeat for all the expense Of establishing it.
The people of the territory named would, we
feel confident, unitedly join in the application
Give us the District and good officers, and
both the Government and people would be
vastly benefited. Get up the petition,-

COLLISION ON THE RICHMOND, FREEERIcKs-
BURG AND PoToMAc RAILRoAD.-Un yester-
day, as the mail train bound South reached
the suburbs of the city on Broad street,
at Elba Park, 1t collided with the passenger
train which on its way to the Fair grounds
had been stopped on the siding. The ac-
cident was caused by the unaccountable
confusion of the switch tender at that
point. who, when the mail train had nearly
arrived at the switch, which was in the cor
rect position, suddenly changed it so as to
direct this train into the siding. But for
the immediate reversal of the engines the
loss of life and limb might have been fright
full. Fortunately, the shock was compara-
lively slight, and the passengers on the
flats (of which the excursion train was COM
posed) had sufficient time to Jump from
them. One Of these flats was thrown COM
pletely upon the top of the one next to it,
and both pretty we'll wrecked. The engine
of the mail train was deprived OF its pilot
and thrown from the roadway, causing a
detention of about an hour. Only one per-
SON was at all injured, and he very slightly
about the leg and back.

Onoe there was bad little boy whose
name was Jim-though if you will notice,
you will And that bad little boys are near
ly ell called James in your Sunday School
books. 1t was very strange bat very true,
this one was called Jim.


He didn't have any sick mother either
"a sick mother who had consumption
and was pious, and would be glad to lie
down in the grave and be at rest, but for
the strong love she bore for her boy, and
anxiety that the world would be cOld and
harsh to him when she was gone. Most
bad boys in the Sunday books are named
James, and have sick mothers, who teach
them to say, "Now 1 lay me down." &c,
and then sing them to sleep with sweet
plaintive voices and then kiss them good
night, and kneel down by the bedside and
weep.


But it was different with this fellow
He was named Jim, and there wasn't any
thing the matter with his mother-no
consumption or anything of that kind.
She was rather stout than otherwise, and
she was not pious moreover she was not
anxious on Jims account; she said i he
were to break his neck it would not be
much loss she spanked him to sleep, and
she never kissed him good night, on the
contrary she boxed his ears when she was
ready to leave him.


Once this bad little boy stole the key
of the pantry, and slipped in there and
helped himself to some jam, and filled
the vessel up with tar, so that his mother
could never know the difference; but all
at once feeling didn't come over him,
and something didn't seem to whisper to
him 'Is it right to disobey my mother
Isn't it sinful to do this? Where do little
boys go to who gobble up their mothers
jam ?" And then he didn't go and tell
his mother everything about it, and beg
her forgiveness, and be blessed by her
with tears of pride and thankfulness in
her eyes. No, that is the way with all
other bad boys in the books, but it hap
pened otherwise with this Jim, strangely
enough. He ate that jam and said it was
bully, in his sinful way /; and then he put
in the tar and said it was bully also and
laughed and said that it was bully enough,
and that .'the old woman would snort
when she found it out" And when she
did find it out he denied knowing any
thing about it, and she whipped him se-
verely, and he did the crying himself.
Everything about this boy was curious
everything turned ont differently with
him from the way it does to the bad James
in the books.

TRANSPORTATION on CATTLE. 49, The
resolution offered by Mr.. Sumner on Mon
day, looking to legislation for the proper
transportation of cattle on railroads, 90
as to provide them with ventilation, water
and ample space, met with a favorable re-
sponse, and will likely result in as strin-
gent a bill as it is in the power of Con-
gress to pass, though there is some doubt
expressed about the authority of Congress
ia the premises. The showing made by
Mr., Sumner of the barbarous practice
upon cattle 5n tansitu upon the railroads
was such as not only to call for legislation
to put stop to it, but to show every in.
telligent person that the consequences was
to throw upon the market diseased cattle,
seriously affecting the health of our
people.
