NIGHT DISPATCHES. Hon A H Stephens says this was a proud day for Georgia. He pronounces the speeches of Representatives Felton and Bell, on the resumption repeal, as the best ot the session. Ihe speech ot Mr Steele, of North Carolina, was also highly applauded. (It seems that our Congressman has been beard at last on the floor of the halla of Coni?ress. It should be oecu- Uftrly grat ifyiDg t0 Mr Steele's friends mat tne speecn reierreu to isaeemeu oi sufficient importance to be telegraphed throughout the country. Ed.

House A resolution 'for the hnal adiourn jaent of this session on the 22i ot .November as reportea irom me committee on Ways and Means, but it was not deemed desirable to take ac tion on it at present. The bill to repeat ihe resumption act was taken up and discussed by Jjeiton and Bell, of Georgia, Davis and Steele, of North Carolina, and Reagan, of Tex as, in favor of tbe repeal, and by Unit tinden, Bacon and Townsend, of New York, and Hardenbergh, of New Jer Bey, against it. There was quite a scene when Felton, of Georgia, describ- ed the financial condition of the coun trv as a storm and hurricane at sea in which ships were going down by nun dreds, and precious lives were being eneulfed bv thousands, while the wreckers, headed by the gentleman from New York (Chittenden), were standing on the shore, waiting to gath er up the spoils, and asserting ,, that things would, right themselves. Chittenden, who is somewhat deaf, came over to tbe Democratic side to hear more distinctly, and made several fruitless attempts to get a hearing, but was lauebed and shouted down, and was told by Douglas, of Virginia, when he asked for a minute of time, that the wrecker could not get half a minute He subsequently got five minutes of Hardenbereh's time, and replied to Felton, denouncing the repeal of the resumption act as involving the honor and reputation of the government and detrimental to the best interests of the whole country. The Texas delegation, it is under stood, have had a full conference upon matters pertaining to the interests of their State, and agreed upon the gene ral outlines of a bill to make a judicial district and reorganize the federal dis trict of that State. The matter of the Pacific Railroad was also dis There seemed to be entire unanjrsMty on ine point mat govern ment ereouragement should be ex tended to one main line west from Fort Worth directly to San Diego, without any connection with the Sou- tnern xracinc, onaiuorum. aisu, eu - couragement to one direct line from the same point, on the already com pleted road on the eastern boundary I of Texas, to the Mississippi river at Memphis, Vicksburg, .or New Orleans, as might be deemed best by the interests east of tbe Mississippi to be enectea htr it.

Signs of activity in Servia are mul tiplying. Fresh troops are marching to the Iron tier, ine lurks are work ine nieht and day. The capture of the position which Gen Skobelorf has been X . . ,Ji . attaching, wouiu iuru an me intervene ine works towards Radizevo, Tutchen- iza and Grivitza. It seems pretty cer tain that the fighting has not yet begun for the redoubts themselves but for the rifle pits in front of them. The redoubts are the same which were temporarily occupied by Gen Skobeloff in the bat tle of September 11th. According to to-day s rumors from the Russian camp, preparations are making for a general assault on Plev- mi 11 ji na.

A special dispatch from Belgrade to the Political Correspondence says Servia has replied to the Porte's demand for withdrawal of the Servian troops from the frontier, that it is impossible to leave tne inhab itants of the frontier without military protection. Losdon, November 14. A special dispatch from Oittenje to the Times has the following : "JJesides the cap ture of the fort at Suturmans, com manding the town of Autivari, as re ported yesterday, the Montenegrins have taken four block houses towards Scutari. Spuz is suffering greatly from bombardment. Telegraphic and road communication between Podo goritza and Scutari is interrupted. The total Turkish force in Albania is only eighteen battalions. There is no force at Autivari or Scutari sumcient to op pose the Montenegrins." A special from Erzeroum to the Daily Telegraph says: "All is going well here. Reinforcements are continually arriving. The Turkixh troops are in excellent spirits and confident of their ability to hold the town." DIISSIOI WOBK. Report of tbe Missionary Society of the method ist Church. New York, Nov 14. The annual meeting of the general committee of the l k m i . Li rii n. ii J ' i. in 'y oui "ie uou! o tl. r.u treasurer and assistant treasurer for 1876 was read, showing the receipts from Eastern conferences for that year to be $403,102: in 1877, they were $417,560; from Western conferences: 1876, $191,086 ; 1877, $211,417-showing an increase of $34,788. The disburse ments for 1877 were : for foreign mis sions, $258,781 ; for domestic missions, $254,927; incidental expenses. $46,346 ; leaving the treasury in debt $82,824. Bishop Harris urged that the receipts from the Missionary Advocate, legacies and receipts from other sources outside of the church contributions, should be kept as a source of permanent reve nue. Lhe Advocate, however, has been discontinued, and legacies are always uncertain. Dr Doshiell proposed that the board should appropriate this year not to ex ceed $650,000, tow amount to include $125,000 of back debt. Bishop Simpson thought the appro priations tor missions should he in creased and a smaller amount of the back debt should be paid, or the cash indebtedness of $82,824 be paid in full. Dr Ihomas Price, of Philadelphia, thought if the members ot the church e8 throughout the country heard of thjg controversy recarding expend! turej3tpf money, a far lees amount would be raised in 1878 than ever before. Dr Curry believed that the debt should be paid in three yearly instal menta, and by that means more money could be devoted to missions Several other speakers addressed the committee upon the subject of paying on the, total indebtedness at once CHUiiCU AND STATE. The Decision of an Important Ecclesiastical Case Williamspoet, Pa., November 14. The case of Father Stack against Bishop O rlara, which has been in liti gation for six years, has been decided in favor of the priest. Judge Gamble, acting as chancellor in the Court of Pleas, hied an elaborate opinion, in which ne maintains that the power exer cised in the case by Bishop O Hara is un warranted by the canon laws, and that even if the discipline or the church al lowed it, the church power must nev- erthelesss be condemned as contrary to the law of the land and prejudicial to the rights ot citizenship. The supe rionty of tbe civil over ecclesiastic law is expressly asserted. The decree of the court accordingly declares that the removal of Father Stack by Bishop O Hara as a punishment for a suppos ed offence, was unlawful : that the pro- niouiuu uirecwju iu raiuer ciacK, ior bidding him to exercise any priestly functions in Wuiiamsport, was unlawfu J but a decree of restoration ig not grant 1 ea as asseu ior on me grouna mat it might be injudicious to disturb the present state of things in the congre gation, this point, however, is an open question, if the bishop should appeal from the present decision to the Supreme uourt. r Fire Items.

National v-wwv iiiij vuuiui v. liii m.i inv i tirpublican of the Xth. If the Congressional tinkers in many instances, men who being unable to successfully conduct their own busi ness are sent to Congress to manage the business of the people want to put the country on its feet, let them adopt Mr Phillips' bill. He deserves the thanks of the counfrv if he will push this measure through without de- ay, because he has struck the root of our financial trouble, and promises the people an essy, fair, honorable and satisfactory solution, as we tried to ex plain in a leading editorial in a recent issue of the Observer. A Yery Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Menell's Hepatine for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, bv oar druggists, in Charlotte, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepa tine into tnis coanlry, but a9 there are flftv doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents a dose is cbeap enough for a medi cine that cures dyspepsia and liver com piaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at all druggists. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver compia:nt, intne world Kfgular s ze bot tles, nty doses $1. A CARD.
