ferrcd to a Committee of Conference.

Acknowledgment.
Wo take occasion to specially thank
Hon. Wm. Ci utchficld for various pa
pers and documents from Washing

a working member, rarely being absent
from his scat during the sessions of (he

Adjourned.
The Methodist General Confcrenco
adjourned last week. Tho Courier-Journal
says, "it will be a long time before
we shall sco here so imposing an aggrc
gut ion of theological brains as during
tho last month wo hare had In the midst
of us, and wo saw It broken down'and
scattered abroad with something of the
feeling one experiences In seeing a
beautiful and imposing structuro tum
bled into ruins."
A New Epidemic.
A letter from Naples says they hare
anew epidemic thero which threatens
to mnkoa tour of the world as a sup
plcnicntal scourge to tho cholera. It is
a spasmodic, intermittent fever in the
outset, lapsing afterward into a con
tinuous fever, and again becoming in
termittent. It is accompanied with in
(lamination of tho spleen and brain.
There is also a comatoso stupor, suc
ceeded by what seems to be a recovery
of health, but tho next day the patient
Is attacked again, sinks into a coma, and
dies.
Engaged.
The other night a weak-eyed youth
was silting in church wholly forgetful
of his surroundings and lost in beatific
contemplation of a certain young wo
man, touching whom he cherished vio
lent designs, when suddouly a hand was
laid upon his shoulder and a deep
contralto voico thundered in his car:
"Young man, you look us if you want
ed to go to Jesus 1 Won't you come to
Jesus?" Whereupon ho was struck all
of a heap as It were, and stammered:
"I would I want that is, I should liko
to go, yon know, but not this evening,
thank you; I havo an engagement."

A StivJf Senator on the Civil
1 Itlghtu r.in.
Dr. WP. Jonta, thn Slate Fcrmtor
from N'aiiville, and a Republican, has
writltn n letter to the Itullctlii upon the
civil rVi.tti bill, from which the follow
ing Ii extracted :
Tills jrfthc moat critical period in the
lilnlory d (ho colored people since lliey
werefrcwlino!:, ami if left to themselves
thcirrliaiccs for education will bo lire
tricvbly lost They, in (heir (oily,
arc cont to exchange a bon of price
less worth for something of less value
thrui a 'jncss of pottage." If we are to
hmefrct school, in w hich they are to
be M ncrt, equal participants, another
and larger convention, or many small
ones must repeal their hasty and unfor
tunn'o action, and this action must not
bo dltiYcd. Otherwise their only hope
of eduction and elevation is gone, per
hapi forever, and with the repeal of the
pubic -ftehool law, that repeal being
etM!M about by their nn-ajful ac
tion, they w ill Do not only wUiiotrc fa
ciiiiiis for general education, but inea
sura hi v without sympathy, and if these
tilings come to pass it needs no prophet
tc foresee their doom here and else
where. You arc very largely under the esti
mate, when you 6ay, "niutey-nine out of
every hundred, of tho w hile people in
both iiolitical parlies bio opposed to
mixed schools." Doubtless nine bun
di ed and iiitiety-uine in every I lion
sand tie not only to, but fu4Iy de
(er'iiiicd not to vote a dollar for such
schools.
My nrqnaintaneo is ,iimcwhat exteiuh
cd in tVnucsxce, but in the vholo cata
logue, from Carter to Shelby, I do not
know of more than ono or two, perhaps
threo, whom I could even suspect of
favoring this feature of the civil rights
bill, tud 1 do uot positively know of
ono who does.
Should the supplementary civil rights
bill pass the Congress of tho United
States, and receive (ho approval of (lie
President, no power between, Imuvcu
and ciM) could cuforco (ho mixed
school feature.
Do no. (he colored people know that
322,331 cjnstiluto only a moiety over
one-four. Ii of the population of our
Stale, uixl that a thousand dollars of
persona ly being exempt from execution
mid taxi'.ion. that comparatively few of
the hc.ils o( families among thetu pay
a property tax at all? and hence their
ileiiiiinis upon three-fourths of thoo
who pry the school money is, to say the
least, i i bad tustc. Did they not know
such a demand would beget bad feeling,
and lead ;o tho repeal of the school tax ?
It has alr;udy had this effect in several
counties.
Hithero the white peoplo of Tonnes-'
see. irrespective of party, through their
Renrescitatlves and otherwise, have
acted robly in regard to providing
equal educational advantages for the
colored people, tho range or s inly, Mm
sholfistic period, and the distribution of
sclnol money being as hoerni ns to
white children. If this courteous and
kindly consideration shall be treated
with further disdain and contempt, will
not the outstretched hand be withdrawn
and will thev not be laughed nt in their
cMrcinity and mocked in their ingo
rauec? O, I beg you, sir, speak gently, but
speak again and again most earnestly to
these erring peoplo; beg them (o let
well enough alono to wait further in
dications. Diicktown Copper mines.
Tho Cleveland Panncr man has been
up to Diicktown and say a :
l'verything is wearing a cheerful and
prosperous appearance about Duck,
(own. There is no lull in (ho mining
operations, but on tho contrary that in
terest is being more and moro aug
mented every day, by tho addition of
new buildings and machinery to facili
tate tho successful development of tho
inexhaustablo copper supply of that
region. Within tho past twelvemonths
extensive works havo been put up at
Marv mine ; a narrow gaguo railroad
hasbeeti built from that point to the
smellers and refinery at Isabella; new
buildings ttfo going up at tho latter place
for a blast fnrnaco and cngiiio house;
at the East Tennessee mino a new shaft,
now two hundred and fifty feet deep,
is being sunk ; more work Is now being
dono at tho London mines than nt nny
time since tho war; tho diamond drill
is doing a good work In discovering
copper deposits. In fact an inimeuso
business in mining is being carried on,
and tho beauty of it is it Is paying, not
only tho company, but tho entire com
mutiity. Money is more plentiful there,
and thero Is less complaint of hard
times, than at any placo that wo have
visited sttico tho Into panic.
Crime Jit South Carolina.
Commenting upon tho Indictment of
Governor Moses, a Columbia journal
exclaims :
What havo we come to? Fraudulent
pay certificates, County Trcasuicr's de
falcations, tho losing of acts of the Leg
islature, bankruptcy, and now an in
dictment by the Grand jury on infa
mous charges all mailers in which the
Governor of tho Stato is implicated!
These things show South Carolina in
a most odious light. They nre the lit
accompaniments of tho process w hich
is now going on all over tho Stale of
selling (ho people's properly for taxes
they cannot slid should not pay. In
fumy and outrage cannot go anv fur
ther. Will I l.o government tit Wash
ington look nt our condition ?
Tho New York editorial excursion
Ntt havo swung around tho southern
circle and passed on in the direction of
(heir homes. They have been heartily
welcomed and entertained at every
point vNMed, and had a good time generally.
a.. .Il.le Article. ,m ;
'We clip the following wcft-timl re-
, marks from the Cleveland Connuercfal
Republictn of last week:
Tho Civil Rights 11111 has passed the
Senate. Its provisions are such as to
eomprl the admission of colored citizens
into all public conveyance on land or
on water, hotel;, theatres and nil places
of public amusement. AUo into com
mon schools and all institutions of
learning or benevolence, mpponed In
whole or in part by general taxation.
The bill ha yc. to pas the llouso of
Representatives and receive the mine
ll in of the President before it become
a law. And we hope with the school
feat nre attached It 'may never pass (ho
Hou .c, but if it does that il will fail for
want of the President's sanction. Wo
have converse.! with a great many ci(i
Zeus both white and cmored and have
not heard an expression In favor of
mixed school, and no r.ot tcnov there
is a white man in Riadley county who
favors any such measure or would sup
port any 'man who would advocate it,
nor any respectable number of colored
men who would insist on such folly,
it may appear justifiable to person liv
ing in Maine or Ycinionl, but it will
take almost an age t satisfy this people
that such action was either demanded or
desired by the niu of (ho colored peo
ple themselves. Under tho present
State School Law the colored peo
ple havo enjoyed an equal share of
school tax in educating their children,
ami are still enjoying it, but pass this
bill into a law and school houses will bo
liko the heads of a few fanatics empty,
and our colored citizens w ill iiutt that
they, or (heir would-be friend havo
dropped tho substance in grasping at
the shadow. Wo havo advocated tho
advancement of tho colored race, their
right to testify in court, admission to
tho jury nud ballot box, a fair division
of school lax, the education of them
selves and their children, but wo must
now oppose a mcasuro that some of
them may cherish, oppose it from lion-
rut coniritttotid f ripeht, Hot ,X'iudi.ia.
Oppose It for their own good, and the
good of their children, because, pass
this bill and tho whole school system of
Tennessee will go to the ground.
Tho sentiment here expressed is that
of nine-tenths of the white republicans
of tho Slate.

Nashville, May 27, 1871. )
Tn County Superintendent and PuMic School
. J)ii,c'ctoilliruiiu'liout thcMiitt' ol'Tmtioiiscc:
The civil rights bill, pending before
the United States Congress, in its pro
visions concerning public schools, is In
direct conflict with tho law of Tennes
see under which tho public school sys
tem of (ho Stale is organized, and by
which its officers nre governed. I( is
fin ll.'.i .nuae !.. noiifliut willl !Q 12tll
Section of Article H of tho Constitu
tion, which provides: "Xo school estab
lished or aided under this section shall
allow white- and negro children (o be
received as scholars together in the
same school." So that what tho bill
commands, our Stato Constitution and
public school law forbid. That bill has
already passed tho Senate, and nil the
indications point to its passago by tho
House of Representatives.
In view of tho fact dial In many
counties, schools now closed, aro ex
peeled to !u ru-opened for (he Slimmer
session, in tho mouth of June, nud Inas
much as it is desirable to avoid, as far
ns possible, the embarrassments that
will necessarily follow the enactment of
the civil rights bill, I deem it tho part
of prudence to suggest that for the pre
sent, and until further advised, no
new contracts with teachers, for either
whii op ooloi-eil school, bo entered in
to by school directors. I5y observing
this suggestion much complication and
Unnecessary expenso may bo avoided.
Should (ho ci'il rights bill fail to
pass, then no serious harm can havo re
suited from this admonition. Should
it beeomo a law, in its present, shape,
then further instructions from this office
will beeomo necessary, and will bo
promptly trlven. Very respectfully,
J.vo. M. Fi.kmino, State Sup't.

Tho Ringhampton J!cjublicnn tells the
following:
On Whitney sired last Friday night,
Just before 12 o'clock, a family of fivo
per-sons'wero tnved from death by the
motherdrcamlr.gthal a woman, dressed
in w hite, stood at tho bedside, sii)lng,
"Get up, get up immediately; you nre
wanted." On reaching tho foot of the
stairs sho found her lamp, which she
left on tho table, had exploded, end all
Hint rr tir.ni- in ilnmrn. In nliofl (into
tho fiio would have reached Ihem. A
few palls of water extinguished tho fire.
Thn woinnn In white was seen but a mo
ment; where sho came from or where
she has gone Is slili a mystery.

Thus (ho Columbus (Ga.) J'li'im'rcr
slugs a verso ol (he song of (ho South :
A sorry sight it Is to see a spike

rhf DenroM Sunday.
Beautiful ! ietfiful P mentally cjae-
ulatf d Deneon Itarnea, at the rlM of "
sermon about Heaven. . "Those are toy
ideas exactly.
And so enrapted was lie with Ids
thought, as he passed from the rhnrch,
he forgot to ask lame old Mrs. Howe to
ride homo with h'm, as was his usual
custom.
'Perhaps It is jut as well,' he thought
'for she is a worldly old woman,
and would probably have drawn my
thoughts away from Heaven.'
At the dinner table Id son exclaimed,
'Oh father, 1 have a situation at last.'
'Hare you forgotten ills Sunday?'
asked hi "father, sternly. 'Don't let mo
hear any moro such talk.'
John ate his dinner In silence. How
could his situation la a wrong thing to
speak of on Sunday ? He was so thank
ful for it that it seemed to coma from
the hand of God. God knew all about
the restless months In which ho had an-
sweredan advertisement every day,
When tho minister gavo (hanks In
church for all (he nmrcics of the week.
John's heart gavo a thankful throb, and
ho determined anew to acknowledge
(iod in all his ways. John ate his din.
ner in silence, while his father thought
about Heaven.
In the afternoon Mr. Pmrnes' nephew,
a stranger in tho place, camo over from
his boiuding-placo. and sot on the piaz
talking w ith John.
'I can't allow this Tom,' said Mr.
Rarnea. coining to (ho door with tho
hi hie in his hand; 'von must not tit
hero breaking (ho Sabbath. Go back (o
your boarding-houso and read soma
"good book.'
Tom slatted up angrily, and spent the
afternoon fishing and bathing with an
old colored man, his only other ac
quaintance, in tho place, whlto Deacon
Itamcs set in a large rocking chair with a
handkerchief over his bead, and thought
of heaven.
Presently, his two little grsnddangh
tors canto out on (ho piazza with a largo
picture-book and sat down bv him.
Thar was a flutter of leaved and a
great buzzing as tho little yellow heads
bent over tho book, and finally they
laughed outright.
'Children, where' your mother?'
sternly demanded Deacon Panics,
springing (o his fee(.
'Up stairs putting baby to sleep,' they
both answered together.
Deacon Ilarnes strode Into thn hall.
'Ellen! Ellen!' he shouted; 'I should
think. you might keep these children
quiet on Sabbnth. Thov wont allow mo
to think.'
Ellen had been awakened all night
with fretful baby. Sho hail hushed him.
and had just fallen asleep, when her lath
er's voice aroused her and woko tho

"Pteaso send them upstairs,' said sho,
wearily.
And all that snllrr afternoon sho

To bo a man, and to appear lo bo a
man, are two very different things ; nud
yet, though strange It may seem, thero
aro fow who can tell the true from thn
false the getilno from tho bogus coin.
Rut thero are many who choose and
select tho counterfeit, because It appears
to bo more dazzling to tho eye. Such
persons look at the shadow, but not
tho substance ; nt tho outward Instead
of tho inward. Many appear lo think
if they wear fine clothes, sud put on
style, and smoko their mcerchaum, and
their choico Uavnnas, and occasionally
sip tho most costly wines and chain
pAgncs, (hey havo beeomo men. Wo
pity such short-sighted beings; 'thoy
have eyes, but they seo not curs havo
they, but (hey hear not, neither do thoy
understand," when told that such hnbl'.a
mako them less than men.
Wo havo many boys among us that
havo grown up to tho stature of men,
but they aro boys still. Ono hundred
and sixty pounds of muslo and bono Is
not a man. Tho swine often attains that
weight, btitttcy nro not men. To be ft
man, one must think a man' thought
mid do a man's deeds. This implies
moro than one would stipposo on first
sight; It includes all that makes n man
noble, puro and God-like. It iucliides
self-government, without which man U
liltlo abovo tho beasts of tho field
but with which all hi faculties and
powers nro subdued and controlo.1.
When this is accomplished, then, and
not until then, dots he stand foithin
that noblo nud God-liko sensea Man.

. "The littlo vlllaifo paper" Is the best
paper in tho world. N'o other contains
tho marriages and death, to any no
thing of divorces and births; no other
relutegtho accidents happening before

gives tho time of (ho next ball, picnic,
or political meeting; no other discusses
(ho affairs of (ho town and county, thn
arrival of new goods on (ho mcn hanl's
counter, or of a new Ijat on tho editor's

lias ever enjoyed a well managed one
feels indeed lost. The well edited, vil

and Is, in thn samn proportion, tho best
