Some days ago the Obsrvei came out in condemnation of-the free treat the managers of the State Fair offered to the journalists of the State to induce them to aJLteud the Fall exhibition of that societ We are glad to-eee the Salisbury Examiner endorses our views upon the subject and it argues with nmch' plausibility that the press of the State willjriever have any independence and freedom of thOUght as long as they feel .themselves-underoUigations or gratitude to'any corporation or socie ty.

After being remonstrated with for some time by the officers of the church, they left in the most boisterous manner and took a position at the well immediately outside of the church, and used insult ing language to several ladies who re paired there to get a drink of water There were excessively disagreeable and annoying, and disturbed the reli gious exercises of the day greatly, stil the whites were patient and used no violence, as they knew the simple creatures had been induced by design ing white Radicals, in order to create a disturbance for political purposes. In the language of Gov. Ames, the late notorious carpet-bag Radical Governor of now redeemed Mississippi, "thirty or forty dead niggers would help the Radical party amazingly just now. We ask all peace ' loving colored peo pie to frown down such efforts to ex cite race conflicts and consign the demagogues who encourage such out rages to a political oblivion.

' Cape May. If. JM Aug. 23. The hoards of commissioners appointed by he Methodist .Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South, to remove all obstacles . to fraternity between the two- Church's, "have been in session at Congress hall during the ast ten days. lhey concluded their abors this - evening and issued the bllowing address : . To the Bishops, the Ministers and the Members of the Methodist Jfyiscopal Church and of the Methodist Episcopal Church South: " Dear Fathers and Brethereu : Wfi the commissioners appointed by, authority of the general conferences, respectively, . . of the above named churches to remove all obstacles to formal fraternity, and to adjust . all existing difficulties ' between ' them, deem it proper, in advance of our report to the general conferences of our respective Churches, to communi cate to you in general terms the results of the recent harmonious session of our joint commission,: . ! Pursuant to previous appointment we convened at Cape May, . J.,u; On the 16th . dav of August, 187Q, and were avorea by the attendance oi au. oi the members of both boafds of com missioners. After a written communi cation from the commissioners of the Methodist Episcopal Church South was received and answered by the commis sioners of the Methodist Church, both. boards met in ioint session, the. Jabors of which were continued during .seven days. . We have had a lull and tree conier- ence and interchange of view respecting the important matters that claimed our united consideration. If any in , the Churches entertained the fear previous do our meeting luat we uuuiu nuvnnam 1 1 ll A 1J L iAv. complete harmony ol sentiment toucn- ine the momentous questions to be determined, they will be rejojcea to earn that, after having given due attention to all questions involved in the proper construction of , . A ! PLATFORM OF COMPLETE FRATERNITY between- the two ereat bnnehes of Episcopal Methodism in the United States, we have arrived at the settlement of every matter altecting, as we suppose the nrinciples of a lasting and cordial adiustment. We have the satisiaction to declare that our aspirations, for har mony oi views on vital points nave been realized. Hv divine guidance, as we trust, we hive been able, after frank interchange of views and prayer ful endeavor, to harmonize all diner- ences and to arrive at the desired con summation of unanimous agreement of .complete fraternity. We believe that no principle of honor on either 6ide has been invaded. We struck the KEY NOTE Of BROTHERLY LOVE till lt sounded high and clear, and so have been enabled to reach the ele ments of perfect harmony. No diverg ence of sentiment mars the complete unanimity of the joint commission touching the essential principles ol fraternization. At the beginning of our consultations one great question seem ed to overshadow all others, lt con cerns the relation of the two Churches to each other, to Episcopal Methodism To this important matter our most earnest thought and prayerful delivera tion were first directed, and the result attained occasioned the interchange of rejoicing congratulations between members of the joint commission. We adopted without a dissenting voice the following. DECLARATION AND BASIS OF FRATER NITY. As to the status of the Methodist Episcopal Church and of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and their co ordinate relation as legitimate branches ofEpiscopal Methodism, eachol said Churches is a legitimate branch Episcopal Methodism in the United States, naving a common origin in the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized i ca j it. - : . . : in iy, ttiiu since vue ojgaui.anuii u. the Methodist Episcopal Church South, was consummated, in 1845, by the voluntary exercise of the Southern annual conference's ministers and members to adhere to that communion it has been an evangelical .Church reared on Scriptural loundations, and her ministers and members, with those of the Methodist JbmscoDal .

' TO CHURCH "PROPERTY to and some special cases that could not conveniently be referred to the opera tion of a general rule. - There were, two principal questions to be. considered with regard to the church? ('property in dispute between local societies of the two Churches: First. As to the legal ownership of said property. V4 Second. As to whether it will consist with strict equity or promote Christian harmony or the cause of religion to dis possess those societies now using church property which was originally intended for their Use and occupancy, and of which tbeyimay have acquired possession, though. they may have lost legal title j to it by their transfer from the! one Church to the other. , i4$Jv Wehave considered the papers in al cases that have been brought to our notice. These arose : in the following States: Virginia -West Virginia, Mary land. Tennessee.! Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina. In re spect of some of these cases we have particular directions, but for all other cases the joint commission unanimously adopted the-following' rules for the adjustment of adverse claims to Church property ,. , -pRULe It A In cases' not adjudicated by the joint commission jtmyr society either Church, cohstitntecl according to;' its discipline now occupying the; Church property, shall remain in possession the roof, provided that - where i th ere is now in the same place a society of those members attached to the other Chproh, and .MKigutei3t'S$B4in03 Ihe fkae of, the pK)perty, the , latter . shall - b,e entitled to possession.-.( , , ;, ' RULE 2. , : ; , Forasmuch as. we, have" no power, to annul decision respecting hurch propr erty made by the State courts th jint commission ordain in respect thereof- r. - - ; i First biq sfich A-decisio has been inudeH)r lryhicri there exists an agreement, the same Bhallvbe carried out m: good faith; ii-Wf:?r-'t:t' 4 ; Second, in communities where there are two societies, one belonging to the Methodist .Episcopal Church and the othei- to the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which have adversely claimed the Church property, it is re commended that without delay they amicably compose their f differences, irrespective of the strict legal title, and , settle the same according to. Christian i principles, the equities of the particu- ar case, and. so far as practicable ; according to the principle of the fore-. going rules.' . --.;"' But if such settlement . 6annot- be peedily made then the question shall be referred f for equitable decision to three arbitrators, one to be. chosen by each claimant from their respective societies, arid the two thus chosen shall select a third person not connect ed with either ol . said Uhurcnes, ana the decision of any two of them shall te final. ... .

RULE 4. J.; . .. These rules shall take effect imme diately. In urder tj furthelf promote the peaceful results contemplated by this joint commission, and ; to remove as lar as may be all occasion and. especi any to ireeuu , iiiA.iiuxnjer-j?ccasion for hostility between thfe two Churches, we recommend to memhers of both, as a wise rule of settlement where property is in contest and 4bne or both are weak, that they ''compose their differences by uniting . in " the ' same communion, and in all oases that i.he ministers and memberaecognizeeach other in all relations of Ira tern ity and ue possessed of ecclesiastical' rights and privileges of- equal' dignity' arid validity lliey should each '. receive from the other ministers and members in good standing with the same alacrity and credit as if coming froni their own Church, and without mter- erence with each other s institutions r missions, tbey shou,lffp nevertheless co-operate in all Christian enterprise's. It is not be supposed in respect of some matters Of mere opinion, that' all ministers and members in either Church will be in accord, but' we trust and believe that a spirit of fellowship and mutual regard will pervade THE RECONCILED RA1 KS of the entire ministry nd : member ship ef both Churches We believe also that their supremeTAllegiance to the cause of the UreW Master will triumph oyer all variatiqf s of personal sentiment, and will so exalt the claims of brotherly affection Ahat frum this auspicious hour a1 new epoch in Meth odism will begin its brighter 1 istory, so that we shall . know no unfr.tiernal Methodism in this the-United -S'ates, or even in the wide world. To all we commend the wise conn sels given in lszu to missionaries and members of the Methodist Episcopa Church and of the Wesleyan connec tion in the Canadas by Bishop Mc Kendree and the Wesleyan committee namely, feel that you are one with your brethren, embarked in the same great cause, andeminermy of 'the same religious lamiiy, and if any warm . i it spirits rise up ana trouble you, re member that you are to act on the principles now sanctioned and avow ed" by the two connections, and not upou local prejudices. - We cannot restrain the expression, of our united congratulations to both of the great Churches whose commissions we have executed in uniting between them the broken cords oi affectionate and brotherly fraternization. Henceforth they may hail each other as from the auxiliary of . ONE GREAT. ARMY. . The only differences they will foster will be those friendly rivalries that spring from earnest endeavors to further to the utmost the triumps of the gospel of peace. Whatever pro gress is made by toe ooe Uhurch or by the other will occasion general joy They will rejoice in each other's sue cess as a common good, and amid the thousand glorious memories of Meth odism they will go - forward devoted to their one work of spreading the tcrip turai holiness over these lands. Two by two the opostles began the promul gation of Christianity in the world They were companion evangelists, dis tinct in their several individualities but they were at the same time one in spirit, purpose and fellowship. Their itinerant successors in the chief churches of American Method ism in restored fraternity will vie with each other to wave the banner of the Cross in this Western world and hereafter will proemirr. that these Churches are one in spirit and in pur pose, one in fellowship: Astronomers tell us of dual stars revolving together in mutual relation and harmony whose different color, are so much the complement of each ether as to produce a pure white flight of exceed ing brilliancy. The dual Churches o American Methodism will 9 henceforth revolve in mutual fellowship and har mony, so much the .complement o one another as to produce the pure and BLENDED LIGHT OF CJHRTsTIiN CHARITY and fraternal love. j'These fraternal Churches have no further occasionfor sectional disputes or acrimonious differences. They may henceforth remember their commrP origjn. pur sue their frUit-bearlng work, and ; re joice in 'their own and each other's success while engaged in the same great mission of converging the world to Chri3t, Distinct! ve ieatu res of pro fesion ; and polity are bound up with the name of Episcopal Methed'iam.
