RELIGIOUS.
The Methodists.
In the General Conference ot the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, at Memphis on Tues?
day, there was much discussion on the report
of the Committee on Missions.
That portion declaring the action of Smith?
son, the treasurer or the foreign board, in in?
vesting funds in Erie stock a reckless Wall
street speculation was discussed at great
length,, without action. The report of the
committee accepting Bledsoe's Quarterly Re?
view provoked an extended debate, during
which one member said he understood Bled3oe
was an Episcopalian. This looked like a bid
for him to come over. Another characterized
the Review as an Armstrong gun. Dr. Bun
nell said, as experience has shown, that most
disastrous consequences would follow the ex?
plosion of guns of large calibre. He thought
an explosion would foTlow the adoption of the
resolution which would shake the church from
pillar to dome. The report was finally adopted.
The Committee on Sunday-schools made an
elaborate report providing lor a general secre?
tary of Sunday-schools to be elected by the
General Conference, and secretaries to each.
Annual Conference, who shall report to the

more efficient and uniform system. After a
lengthy discussion the report was adopted.
The Presbyterians.
The business before the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church at Louisville, on
Tuesday, was the reception of fraternal saluta?
tions from other religious bodies, and the se?
lection of Huntsville, Alabama, for the next
meeting of the conference, after two ballots.
At night an enthusiastic foreign missionary
meeting was held, and addressed by the Rev.
J. T. Wilson, ot South Carolina, and by the
Rev. Allen Wright, of the Choctaw Nation, and
the Rev. B. M. Palmer, ol New Orleans.
Up to this time the assembly has been hold?
ing only one session, and th's morning lt waa
a very brief one, in order to give the commit?
tees time to digest and prepare subjects for
consideration.
The Presbyterian General Synod, at Phila?
delphia, was engaged on Tuesday in the dis?
cussion of the report of the Committee on Re?
construction of Boundaries; among others
those of the Synods of China, Siam and Japan.
LOUISVTLLE, May 26.
The Presbyterian General Assembly met
yesterday. The subject of most intense inter?
est was the reception of the delegates from
Northern Presbyterian churches, consisting of
the Rev. Dr. Backus, of Baltimore; Rev. Dr.
Yan Dyke, of Brooklyn, and the Hon. W. E.
Dodge, of New Tork. They presented resolu?
tions ofthat assembly expressing fraternal re?
gard, and followed them with remarks, in
which it was stated that they came not to
ask ' for reunion, nor to ask for im?
mediate correspondence, but to ask
the appointment of a committee to
meet a similar committee appointed by the
Northern Assembly, and to confer respecting
varied matters and questions of Jurisdiction
and property rights between the two Oisera
blies, and to secure, if possible, the adjust?
ment of all differences between the two bodies
on a basis Just and honorable to all, and worthy
of Christian men. While they were speaking,
there was breathless interest and deep emo?
tion, forming a scene that will not soon be for?
gotten. The kind words of the speakers evi?
dently found a lodgment In the hearts ol* those
to whom they were addressed. The overtures
were referred to the Committee on Foreign
Correspondence, which was directed to prepare
a well considered reply.
The Baptists.
The fifty-sixth annual meeting of tho Ameri?
can Baptist Missionary Union was opened at
Philadelphia on Tuesday. No business of
much importance came up, except a statement
of the receipts and expenditures, showing an
excess of the hatter of over nineteen thousand
dollars.
Sunday-School Union.
The celebratiop of the forty-sixth anniver?
sary of the American Sunday-School Union at
Philadelphia, on Tuesday, seems to have been
of peculiar interest. About five hundred chil?
dren united in singing chants and hymns,
which were interspersed by appropriate ad?
dresses. It .was stated that during the year
there had been visited and aided 4250 schools,
containing 32,497 teachers and 273,346 scholars.
American Israelites.
The Board of Delegates of American Israel?
ites met In New York on Monday evening.
Delegates were present from Baltimore, Wash?
ington, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, Philadelphia,
Boston, and other cities. Mr. A. Hart, of Phil?
adelphia, presided, and the proceedings were
opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Isaacs.
The secretary read thc report of the Execu- i
tive Committee for Hie past year. Among ?
other things, the v, 'umittee reported that a
concession had been gained from the Governor
ol> y ria for thc purpose of acquiring land for
the establishment of a Jewish agricultural
school, and as soon as it was confirmed at Con?
stantinople the school would at once be begun.
The committee strenuously urged that energy
and industry should be Infused among the
Jewish population of Palestine. The report
said that the condition of the Jews in Rouma
nia had not improved. Scenes of violence
had recently taken place at Bucharest,
and a number of families had been turned
out ot their homes at Yacco and Galatz. In
Russia a large number of families had been like?
wise turned out of their homes in consequence
or the revival of an old law which pro?
hibited Israelites from residing near the fron?
tier. The United States Minister at St. Peters?
burg had been instructed to protest against
these persecutions of the Jews. Destitute and
ignorant Jews should not be sect to America
indiscriminately. Mr. Hallevy's mission to
China bad not yet, for some unknown cause,
been undertaken. The Universal Alliance had
held their annual meeting lately in Paris,
under the presidency of Mr. Cremleux. There
were about 12,000 members now dwelling iu
all parts of the globe. The Alliance bad estab?
lished numerous schools in Syria und thc East.
The committee recommended that means
should be adopted to have a la-w passed in all
the States or America similar to that of the
State of New York, providing that Jews who
keep their Sabbath should not oe prevented
from following their avocations on Sunday,
provided they did not interfere with the rights
or other denominations.
CINCINNATI, May 2G.
The Reformed Presbyterian Synod have
voted 10 for, 27 against the proposed basis of
union. The proposition for a new union from
the committee was defeated.
TUE BODY OK DB SOTO.-An extraordinary
story regarding the probable discovery or the
copper-fasteneil coffin containing the body or
the renowned explorer, De Soto, is told by the
Memphis Appeal. It appears that Captain John
Cowdon, who for many years has devoted him?
self to the task ol dragging up wrecked ves?
sels from the fathomless abysses along the
Mississippi, has for several weeks past been
making a survey or the localities which may
contain uncounted wealth, and while in?
specting thc waler line along the east?
ern shore, he discovered the bow ot' a small
copper-fastened vessel protruding into the
river. It was also observed that trees from
five to seven feet, in diameter grew immediate?
ly above the buried boat, and that the roots of
these gigantic cypresses were twined about
the ancient vessel. The theory or John Cow?
don is that, considering its dimensions, twice
as great as those of a modern yawl, its copper
fastening, the length of time it has rested be?
neath the soil and water, as shown by the
mighty trees that stand above it, the sunken
craft contains the body of the three hundred
years burled De Soto.

THE BALL ROLLING !
THE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE RIS?
ING FOR REFORM.
JSdgefield, Fairfield, York, Greenville
and Oeonee Respond to the Call.
[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE NEWS. ]
COLUMBIA, May 26.
The intelligence that reaches here from all
sections of the State, as to the reawakened
spirit ol the people and their enthusiasm for
the Reform movement, is highly cheering.
In addition to the sixteen counties already
mentioned as having taken action with a view
to be represented ir. the June Convention, we
have authentic information to-night that
Edgefield, Fairfield, York, Greenville and
Oeonee have issued calls for county meetings
on the Ctn of June, to choose delegates to rep?
resent those counties in Columbia.
Richland is going to heartily second the
voice of Charleston iu behalf of-Retrenchment
and Reform.
The onslaughts ol'Senator Cain, in the M is
sionary Record, have at length awakened the
Scott Ring to the necessity of seeming to do
something in the line of honesty and retrench?
ment. The advisory board of the land com?
mission held a meeting to-night, for the pur?
pose of arraigning Mr. State Treasurer N Iles
G. Parker for his course in regard to the pur?
chase of certain lands in Charleston Comfy.
It appears that six tracts of land were bought
of Mr. Schley, at aNmt $30,000, for which the
State was charged and paid $120,000. The
lands bad not even been seen by the commis?
sioner, nor by any member of the board, and
are now represented os almost worthless. The
investigation is now in progress, under the
direction of Secretary of State Cardozo.
THE GOOD WORK.
THE STATE RALLIES FOR REFORM.
Richland Moves.
The Columbia papers publish the following
cali: "The citizens of Richland, white ana
colored. Irrespective of party, but who are in
favor of economy, retrenchment and reform,
low taxes and a wise, patriotic and honest ad?
ministration of our sfcxtc government, arc re?
quested to meet In their respective townships
on Saturday, 28th Instant, and select lour del?
egates each to attend a county convention, to
be held at Columbia on the first Monday In
June next, for the purpose of appointing dele?
gates to the State Convention, which will as?
semble on the 15th ofthat month.
Lose no Time.
[From the Newberry Herald.]
Thc ball is in motion for the overthrow of
the vile government which now fetters the
State, and which is ruining her best Interests.
I and it cannot be long surely ere the end shall
be seen. No matter what the means, ii it be
not dishonorable, so thc end be right. We
confess to have despaired of any carly resultR
troon a convention, thinking that the lime had
not quite come when anything like reason or
truth or sense could be made to enter the
minds of a people, so Infatuated and blinded by
the specious lies of Radical teachings, as the
colored people are, but subsequent events are
bringing out new lights; the rogues are fall?
ing out among themselves and are peaching,
and when rogues fall out honest men come in
for the share unjustly held from them. So it
is now. The pickings, and stealings, and ap?
propriations, and greasings, have not been
equally distributed, and the "loyal,"' lor some?
time dissatisfied, arc breaking out in threats,
and tales are being told which the string-hold?
ers would like to keep back; but what is to be
will be, and they must stand the storm,. The
ring in Columbia ls much exercised, the trea?
sury is ebbing low, the hungry expectants are
tired Of waiting, and for some time losing
hope, have been looking Into and seeing with
their own eyes what is to be seen. That
time is the good time, when the dupes are no
longer to be imposed on, and made to believe
that the moon is made of green cheese, and
that there can be cut from lt Blices enough to
satisfy them all. That will be tbe good time
when it comes. It has not yet come, but come
it must, and then honesty and truth shall be
established in tbe country, and peace, harmo?
ny and. prosperity prevail. In the meantime
let the convention, which ls a Axed fact, meet
in .lune, and let wedges be entered wherever
there is an opening, and where there is none
let one be made. Let the convention be beld,
and well attended, for in the multitude of
counsellors there is safety.
What to Teach thc Colored Man.
[From the Sumter Watchman.]
At the close of the late war we found the
negro free.? We persistently refused him the
full measure of legal rights accorded to the
white man. In our pride and prejudice we
stood mute, with arms and hands folded In
stupidity and delay, looking upon the anoma?
lous scene being enacted around us, strangers
by the hundreds and thousands flocking Into
the State from all parts of the globe, holding to
views and political principles antagonistlcol to
our own. These principles, so obnoxious and
pernicious to the best interest ol both white and
black, were rapidly and successfully Inculcated
into the mind of-the negro. In the meantime
he was made "a voter, carrying along with
it the undoubted right to hold office. He was
successfully led off from his former master in
sympathy and affection..anil united with his
new-made acquaintance in sympathy and po?
litical principle, and by his vote, so adroitly
drawn away Irom our own grasp, placed these
imported hybrids and himself in power, and
has held the reins of State until there is abso?
lutely nothing left but a wretched wreck-the
skin and bones of a once proud and noble peo?
ple.
Now we claim that the white man is supe?
rior to the negro. God bas stamped thc mark
ol superiority upon the brow of the white man.
He has also stamped the mark ol' inferiority
upon thc brow of the negro.
Then let us demonstrate our superiority
over him by inculcating into his mind proper
principles of political economy. Let us edu?
cate him in thc honest principles of industry,
elevate his mind, if possible, to the highest
standard of integrity and good morals; prove
to him that his former master is his best
friend. Convince him, if possible, that hon?
esty is as essential in politics as in morals
that he, too, is a sufferer by a thieving, pilfer?
ing administration ol' the government ; that
the party in power are using him as a
tool to keep themselves in power and place,
while he toils and sweats in the labors
of the field; that wc recognize in him all the
rights the law gives him, and we propose to
take none away from him. Do this and invite
him with all others who desire reform in our
government, to unite with us in one grand ef?
fort to overthrow the political Sodom and
Gomorrah of the State. Do this and we may,
perchance, win them back to ns. Is this yield?
ing political principle ? We think not. Should
we not make an effort to save the State in the
great struggle before ns ? Let us not sit down
with folded arms because heretofore we have
been unsuccessful.
THK BRITISH POSTOFFICE SAVINGS BANKS
continue to prosper, and business done in?
creases rapidly. There was not a postoflice
bank in Great Britain, until the 16th ol' Sep?
tember, 1861, and at the end ot thc year 18G9,
there was ?13,224,209 due to depositors. The
interest paid to depositors, or added to the
credit side of their accounts, now exceeds
?300,000 a year. The amount paid in and the
amount drawn out in the course ol' the year,
are very large; In the year 1869, ?5.787.218 was
received from depositors, and ?1,227,650 was
paid to depositors.

Knight of tho Old Dominion-Crown
lng of the Queens.
At the second day of the Grand Tournament

Tuesday, thertfwas a large attendance, Includ?
ing many ladies.
At 3 o'clock the knights, Horace Bailey, of
Virginia; A. Brockenbrough, of the District of
Columbia; Eddie Gallagher, of Virginia; Dr. C.
A. Fox, of Virginia; W. A. Jarboe, of Maryland;
C. K. McBIair, of the District of Columbia; W.
G. Ballev, of Virginia; F. Mosalr, Jr., ol' the
District of Columbia; R. H. Marshall, of Mary?
land; S. P. Maury, of New York, and W. P.
Colley, of the District of Columbia, made a
grand parade.
After which Mayor Kalbfleisch, of Brooklyn,
introduced Colonel A. H. Dawson, of Georgia,
who delivered a charge to the knights, and
congratulated them on the skill displayed at
the previous tournament.
Tilting then commenced. Dr. C. A. Fox, as
the Knight of the Old Dominion, won the first
prize; Horace Bailey, ?as the Knight of Vir?
ginia, the second; James D. Walsh, ol'the Dis-,
trlct of Columbia, aa the Knight of the Black
Plume, the third, and R. H. Marshall, as the
Knight of Indiana, the fourth.
The first prize was a fine black horse: the
seconda diamond-set ladles'watch and chain;
the third a ladles' watch, and the fourth a
moss agate set of sleeve buttons.
The best horsemanship ever witnessed in
Brooklyn was displayed by J. N. Gallagher, of
Virginia, who, notwithstanding the bad and
unmanagable horse he rode, succeeded in
one of the runs In taking the ring from the left
aide of the horse instead of thc right In con?
sequence of the bad shying of his norse he was
ruled ont.
The following ladies were seated as queens
Miss Belle Robinson, by Eddie Gallagher

fleisch, by R, H. Hareford; Miss Van Brent, by
J. W. Walsh; Miss Spinner, daughter of the
United States treasurer, by J. I. Harrison, and
Miss Cashel, by Horace Bailey.
Mr. Stone, of the Journal of Commerce,
then addressed the knights, queen Band maids.
He congratulated the knights on the success
they achieved, and Implored those who hail
power to use lt mercifully on their faithful
subjects. He said the same hearts beat North
and South, and he and all present would glad?
ly take all their Southern brethren to heart,
for all loved them.
The occasion ended with a grand ball. An?
other tournament wlU be given next week
nearer New York, the distance of this one
from the city keeping many from attending
who otherwise would have done so.
THE POPE'S REPLY.
Cardinal Auto ntl ll to the Emperors.
The Puris Universe publishes the reply of
Cardinal Antonelli to the memorandum pre?
sented to the Court of Rome by Count Dani,
on the subject of the Council:
The answer, which is of great length, ex?
tending over two columns and a hali* ol' that
Journal, aims at establishing the fact that civil
governments have nothing to do with the d"e
fiberatlons of that body. If the Pope asks the
bishops to proclaim him Infallible and superior
to all temporal powers, those attributes have
always existed, and are, moreover, purely doc?
trinal and speculative. They do not consti?
tute an encroachment of which any one has a
right to complain. Such, in substance, is the
note from the Vatiean, which concludes by
the declaration that the dispatch from thc late
Minister of Foreign Affairs will not be com?
municated to the assembly ol'the fathers.
Advices from Vienna moullon another letter
from the Cardinal to the Emperor Francis
Joseph's government, and likwiso referring to
the Connell. It seems to be sharper in tone
than that to the Cabinet of the Tuileries.
sr.lJiK LEXOy I) JE AD.
Thackeray, Douglas Jerrold, Leech and
now Lemon-The Brain? of London
Punch. .
The distinguished English journalist, Mark
Lemon, editor of Punch, is dead. He had
been ailing some time, but lt was only during
the last few days that the physicians lost hope
ol'his recovery.
Mr. Lemon was born In London on the 20th
of November, 1809. He entered his literary
career as a writer for the stage, and in that
? haunch ol'literature, he produced either singly
or in copartnership with others, upward of
sixty plays, farces and other dramatic compo?
sitions. Of these the best known ls the popu?
lar and well-known comedy, "The Serious
Family," with its inimitable Aminldab Sleek.
But it was in connection with Punch that
Mark Lemon was most widely known. He
became Joint editor of that famous periodical
at its beginning In 1841. Two years later he
was appointed sole editor, and that position
he held until bis death. As an actor, too. he
had considerable ability, and was a conspicu?
ous member of the Savage Club. His read?
ings of Falstaff in 1868 were also a decided
success. Critics united in saying that the pon?
derous knight had never before been so faith?
fully represented.
Mark Lemon's death creates another gap in
the ranks of the wits who used to gather
round the festive board at the Portugal Tav?
ern every Wednesday. Douglas Jerrold has
gone; so have Thackeray and John Leech. It
was at one of these dinners that Thackeray
happily said that "Punch could not be good
without Lemon."
A SUICIDE AT KING STREE.
[From the Klngstree Star.]
Our citizens were startled on Monday even?
ing last by the announcement that Mr. Edwin
L. Levin bad committed suicide at Mrs.
Gewlnner's hotel, in this place, by shooting
himself through the head with a pistol. Mr.
Levin was in his store aa usual until about
half-past two o'clock, attending to his business.
He walked from his store down the street to
the hotel, and spoke to several persons
there and Immediately walked into a
passageway in the rear part of the house,
where he engaged in some conversation
with a lady friend, during which time he drew
a small pocket pistol and said he was going to
shoot himself, at the same time making the at?
tempt to put the pistol to his head. The lady
jerked his hands down and begged him to de?
sist, and endeavored to give the alarm; but
this, we arc inlormed, excited him still more,
and lie unloosed the hold ol' Iiis friend and shot
himself before she could reach the adjoining
room. The bull entered thc forehead central?
ly, passing directly through thc brain and lodg?
ing in the back part ol' the head, killing him
almost instantly.
Mr. Levin was a young merchant of our vil?
lage, and was much esteemed for his staunch
arid correct principles and general good de?
meanor as a citizen. He had just returned the
night before from a short visit a few miles
from Hie village, and appeared to be in his
usual spirits, exhibiting no indication ol' any
mental'derangement. He was slightly under
the influence of liquor at the time ne commit?
ted the fatal act, but was, apparently, perfect?
ly rational. What induced him to destroy
himself is a mystery to every one.
