Mr. Gaston, of Bellaire, 0. Rev. J. H. Aughey, of Dallas, opened the quostion, "The devotional exercises of the Sunday school." The address was short but pointed, and showed a devo tional and earnest spirit in the man who made it. Mr. Aughey is one of the best workers in the body. Rev. 0. P. Masden followed in a written addrese, prepared evidently with care, on "Teaching; its responsibilities and re> wards." Tho large audience gave un* divided attention to the address, which was delivered eloquently. "Concerning modes of gaining atten tion," was opened by Hon. b. L. Oraumer in a forcible talk of twenty-five minutes. The Judge spoke without znanuecript and kept up a glowing Interest in bia subject. Rev. Geo. ?. Hite, of Zune Street M. E. Church spoke on the "Preparation of teachers-their studies," in a very practi cal and sensible address, replete with good illustration. He felt that human nature needs to be studied as well as books. The committee to nominate an organi zing committee reported tho following: The committee appoined to nominate a committee to make arrangements for hold ing a State Sabbath School Convention, reported the following resolution, which was adopted: Itoolvcd, That five in number of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

The Committee on Resolutions reported as follows: Whekkah, Wo are firmly persuaded of the importance of instilling into the minds of the children of our country the truth of God's Word aud of leading them to the Saviour; and Wn krkas, We regard the Sabbath school as one of tho principal instrumen talities by which the object may bo ac complished; therefore * Jiaolml, That we bear our testimony to the great importance of the Sunday school work as a means of giving iucreaB ed vitality and energy to the church, and I of obeying our Saviour's injunction, "Feed Sly lambs. Kaolcti, That we are convinced pi the necessity'of increased effort in building up onr Sabbath scliool, and that Chris tians rauBl practice the scriptural prin ciple "to go out to the highways and hc<llies, and compel them to come in." ItaoM, Tbat we express it as our con viction thatSunday school work to be suc cessful must be done thoroughly! tbat superintendents and teachers must pre pare themselves for this work by prayer and by careful study ol the lesson. Jlnolrttl, That great care should be used in tlio selection of libraries for our Sab bath tehools. That only those books should bo introduced that are scriptural and calculated to lead the mind to Christ, and that we express our appreciation of the value of propor Sabbath school pe riodicals as a means of iucreased interest. Ihtolval, That we solouinlv warn the children and youth of the Sabbath Bchools under our Jurisdiction against the preva lent vicesof profanity,Sabbath desecration, disobedience to parents and reading light and immoral literature, earnestly warn them against the formation ol au appetite lor alcoholic liquors, and against the use less, expensive, offensive and filthy habit of using that vile narcotic tobacco, in any of its forms. Uruhtd, That we regard it as of para mount importance to foster the habit of beneficence in our Sabbath school by af fording the children and youth an oppor tunity for freiiuontly contributing to prop er obiects of beneficence. tinoM, Tbat we believe that County Sunday School Conventions are a most potent instrumentality in awakeniug throughout the counties au interest in the Sunday School cause, and we earnest ly urge all the friends of the Sunday School to oncourage the nounty conven tions by their personal attendance, their propers and their influence, exerted in every possible way to secure this desira ble end: the salvation and moral culture of the rising generation, llttohtd, That we return our heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of Wheeling, for their kindness in so hospitably and gener ously providing for tho entertainment of the members of the convention; we would also include in our expression of thanks, the trustees of this church for the use of their edifice, and to the editors of the daily papers, who have given so full a re port of the doings of the convention. The fourth session was closed with prayer by Itov. <i, C. Wilding, of tho Thomson M. K. Church, iRland. . ClOHtDKNOMNlun. Fourth Street M. K. Church never con tained a more attentive audience than that which greeted the Sunday School speakers last night Rev. \V. B. Thomson, of the Disciples' Church, conducted the devotional part of the scrvice and did it well. The hymns were well selected, the scripture selections appropriate, and tho prayers short and fervent. "Blent be the til Dial binds Our lieatU in Christian lore," was the opening Hymn, the tuno being the much liked and suitable ono of "Denis." Hon. John H. Atkinson, of New Cum berland introduced the subject of Normal Classes in an nddressof fifteen minutes. He regarded these agencies as of great practical value to the proper training of teachers for their responsible work. "Teachers' Meetings" wfls the next topic, and was well and warmly treated by W. J. W. Cowden, Ksq., of the U. P. Church, of this city. Mr. Cowden has been active in our city association and evidently cave due attention to his sub ject, speaking not alone from observation, out from oxnsrience. ltev. J. S. Pomeroy, of Moundsvllle, was introduced, who spoke on the mission of tho Sabbath school in promoting benevo lence. Mr. Pomeroy is noted for earnest ness in whatever he undertakes and what soever subject he handles, and his address laBt night was notan exception. He spoke vigorously and certainly made it under stood that he does not believe in a religion that does not produce liberality. He felt that to live for others and not for thorn selves alone, shonld be taught evory Sun day school scholar. The mission of the Sabbath school in promoting Sabbath observance, was ably handled by Kev. Dr. McClnreof this city. Our readers are well acquainted with the clear and forcible expositions of Dr. Mc Clure on any subject assigned him. A clear thinker and careful writer, ho pre semed thoughts aud arguments last night which, added to his already wide reputa tion, and which must have been most grateful to the friends of Sunday observ ance. Kev. L. J. Clancy followed Dr. MoClure in a moat pleasing and proiitabie address on "The mission of the Sunday-school in promoting city missions. Mr, Clancy is a great favorite with Sunday-school people lu all this section. He is an old man with a young heart and says he keeps himself young by religious work and asso ciation with young christians. A man of warm sympathies, he warmly advocated mission work among the poor and desti tute. His address was full of incidents, touching in their nature and calculated to touch the hardest heart "The Heavens are telling the Glory of God," from the oratorio of the Creation, was magnificently rendered by the united choirs, many of the auditors saying "Oh, what a power in music, these people have not only given us entertainment for the bodv, but also for the mind, heart and soul. TUB CLOSING ItOUBS of the convention were perhaps its most precious hours. A number of delegates spoke touchingly of their pleasure in be* ing present at the convention, and of their appreciation of great results to the Sun* day School work of the State from it. It seemed remarkable how much was said, and well said, in so short a time last night. "Wtien shall *. nmt again, Meet n?'?r to .ercr," was beautifully sung to the tune of Unity, ami left a deep impression. The 1'reeident addressed the convention in appropriate parting words. Rev. Mr. Maiden made the closing prayer, and the first Pan Han dle'Sunday School Convention adjourned to meet aguin at the call of the Committee on Organization. OONVJUrriONALlTIW. The olde?t young m?n in the convention was Rev. T. F. Clancy. The addresses as a general thing were too long. The executive committee which got up the programme and made arrangements for the convention did their work well." The committee consists of Rev. J. D. Mof fat, Rev. T. P. Clancv, 0. K. EllifriU, A. 11. Beuch and Rev. L. H. Jenkyns. The music of the day sessions was led by Prof. Beach, Mr. Mack Rellly presiding at the orgau. The denominations were so mixed up in the convention that yon could not tell "tother from which." The convonliou thanked the dailies for theic "admirable reports." Thanks! Judge Cranmer makes a more pleasant impression at Suuday school conventions than at Police Court. Our Hancock, Marshall and Marion visitors expressed themselves as well pleased with tho hospitality of the nail city. There was no color line in the conven tion. Tilt: KIUIIT or l'KTITIO.V Tin- Arrcnl of (lie County Conaitnbtilnry by Chief of Police Nwceney-Excitement1 Among the hliouldcr>Titppertt- Have the Public Auy Rlghta Which "JnmcM the I Tyrnnl" 1m UouimI to lteM|iect? | A good deal of excitoment was occasion [sionedon the streets last evening by tho report that the county constables had beon arrested by City Sergeant Sweeney, for petitioning Council to prohibit his depu ties from serving civil process, thereby in terfering with the police and obstructing them in' the discharge of their duty. A visit to police headquarters developed nothing, except that Police Clerk Darrah said no warrants hud been issued and that the arrests must have been made "on flight." He bau bearu that Constable Ex Icy had beeu arrested by the Sergeant and Silt in the lockup, aud shortly afterwards Ir. Ed. Dunaway and Couocflmau Ralph Arkle had appeared and oirered to give bail for Exley a appearance at court, out did not find the Sergeant in at the time, and the rosult was not known at the City Building. A trip to the lockup resultod in the re porter finding General Wallace, the lock up keeper, discussing "the resolutions of '08" with an Italian in the back olllee. The General said Exley had been brought in by the City Sergeant about four o'clock in the afternoon on a charge of interfering with the police and obstructing them iu the discharge of their duty. Exlev statod to him that his sole offense consisted in signing the petition above referred to, and Bent for Constable Love, another signer, to bail him out, which Love declined to do, alleging that he had no money for Buch purposes. The Goneral stated fur ther that Love had expressed an opinion to the effect thaat the whole proceeding was an infernal outrage, but, as a city official, he considered be had noth ing to do with the merits of the case. His business was to make a supe rior article of ink, aud enforce the provi sions of the city oidinance entitled an ordinance inrolaUontotho election, duties and compensation of the city lockup. Shortly after Constable Love retired, he was informed that Councilman Arklo and Counsellor Dunaway had furnished se curity for Exley's apnearauce, and this complying with the ordinance he had re leased the prisoner, who disappeared, up Twelfth street. A soarch for Exley failed to find that gentleman, and it was rumored that ho had gone into one of the coal banks and did not intend to come out un til the cruel war was over, Constable St. Myers, who generally occupies an alert aud statuesquo attitude at the Court Houso corner, could not be found, and constables Martin, Cooper, Genoa Price and Richard Richardson, it was stated, had retired early. There was a full house, however, at JuBticeMillor's, every body being present except Constable Love's dog "Peter, who went home when the disturbance commenced; aud the arbitrary action ot the City Sergeant was generally denounced. Justice Miller Baid the right of petition, which was secured by Magna Charta, and in defence of which some of the noblost blood in Christendom had boen shed, had pretty much died out in this country. Constablo Love said it was the damdest thing he ever heard of. The idea of a mau being arrested for expressing his honest sentiments, and asking for the redress of a notorious grievance! He had heard that the balance of the county constables were to be arrested to-morrow, but while the rest of them could do as they pleased, he would carry his cane to the Supreme Court oefpre he would knock undor. Reporter-But, Colonol, how can Swee ney do these things without a warrant? Love-Do! He 11 do anything. He is going crazy. Look at all he has been doing for tho last four weeks. * Prosecuting Attorney Jordan, who was present, Was appealed to for a professional opinion, but declined to commit himself until the mattor came bofore him officially. Counsellor Henry Pendleton also declined to forestall the courts, and as most of the other attorneys wero reported in attend ance at the eveniugsosslon of the Sunday School Convention the reporter gave up the idea of Becuring the law on the sub ject for the time being. Another reporter for this paper found Chief of Police Sweeney later In the even iug, but that official sustained his reputa tion as a man of few words, and was reti cent to the point of taciturnity. He pulled his mustache vigorously and spit profuse ly, while ho stated that he bad accepted the proposition of EJxley, to make a test case. ''I will show them," said he, "that my p'lice cannot be interfered with, with impunity. Law and order must be pre served. There ought to ho an Inorease of tho police foroe. if anybody thinks there is anything wrong with my otlice, lot thorn ask lor a committee of investigation." From indications late last night, the nightwatchmpn aro not to be Included in tho present raid.l Officer Perry Tracy Is on the comer of Fourteenth and Market, as we go to press, and officers Murdoch and Junkins are vigorously patrolling their blocks. It ought to be stated, how ever, that they are not signers. There is probably no truth either in the report that Bulger's wooden Indian will be arrested, his name not appearing upon the petition. l'MUONAL MIKTIOK.-Caplaln Robert Cowan is at Baltimore. Dr. D.

Attorney General White says he has not lost Interest iu the law and order movement, but he thinks the ordinance proposed will not pass Council, and con siders a failure to pass It altor trying would be worse than sc trial, Uncle John Boring, who has more political sagaoity than any othor Demo crat iu the Fourth ward, says it is Sey mour or Bayard.
