A .Successful Hunt
v A party of three young men of this
city started out on a hun.t a few day s
ago, ana returned wun twemy-one
rabbits and birds in proportion mak
ing an aggregate weight of about eighty
pounds of meat, A noted colored
sportsman accompanied the party, and
himself "jt.mped" seventeen of the
twenty-onejabbits, and one of them he
ran down 'and caught in a square race
without ihe assistance of the dogs. It
is related, too, of this latter-day Nim
rpd, that a few weeks ago he went out
hunting with one of the fine shots of
the city, and when they came to count
up game in the evening it was found
that of the seven, rabbits which had
been killed, the white eportsrnan had
killed two with his fine breech-loading
shot gun while the darkey had killed
the other five with rocks and sticks.
Tne Proposed Clinic.
We agree with our excellent neigh
bor, the Democrat, as to the merits of
the proposition which Drs Gregory,
Battle and Jones & Graham make to
the b.pard of aldermen, to hold public
clinics at a specified place and at stated
times, where and when the poor of the
city, may be examined and prescribed
for free 6T 'all cost. This service
thes physician agree to render in con
sideration of their exemption from the
pity tax on physicians which is a mere
bagatelle which would scarcely be
missed from the fund which the city
derives from taxation. We can scarce
ly conceive how the board of aldermen
could confer a greater charity upon
the poor in our midst than by the
means suggested, and in the interest
of humanity we hope that at its next
meeting the board will take the matter
from the table and pass it.

man, prohibiting an expelled member
of the conference from being promoted
to orders until e shall have been a
member two years, and tben in the
regular order.
Rev C R Harris.' offered a series of
preambles and resOlUlioils relative to
the interest of the Sabbath school, and
union with the C. M. E. Church.
Bro. Harris expressed himself warm
and with all other colored Methodists
in ihie- proper time.
Upon these subjects much discussion
ensued.
C. R. Harris' speech in favor of union
was the ni0att powerful and methodical
we everhard hifi make;
The resolution of union was as fol
lows : ,
Whereas, The General Conference
minutes have been delayed in their
publication : and
W HEREAS,lhe action of said confer
ence relative to organic union with the
O. M. E. Church in America is not
generally understood ; and
Whereas, ihe second Wednesday in
May, 1878, was selected as the time, and
Washington City the place, of holding
a general tcouvenuoiuior the puipose
of uniting these two bodies of Metho
dists; therefore,

that he was at last enabled to make an
official announcement of the death of
Bishop Marviq. The Nashville Chris
tian Advocate, the official organ -pf, tie
Church, had come to hand, and'eon
tained full particulars.
Ihe secretary then read a clipping
from that paper, reciting the sad story
of his death, and giving a brief histori
cal sketch of his life The article was
read in a very affecting maimer, and
produced a profound sensation in
the audience, many of the ministers
and others who had known the distin
guished divine being moved to tears. It
is a noteworthy fact that when his
name is mentioned iu the conference
it is with expressions of the greatest
respect and the most profound sorrow.
It was anqounced that Bev Dr A H
Bedford, superintendent of the pub
lishing house, located in Nashville,
had arrived, and would address the

following were reported : Thos Reagan,
Alfred Carson, Jcs M Matthews, R M
Hoyle, J T Littlejohn, Jas W Craig and
Kagler. Their characters hav
ing been approve!, they were duly
elected.
Under the
question, "What local
preachers are elected elders i" the fol
lowing were reported : Edward A Wil-
.son and Abner K Murchison. David
Brown was reported as having been
elected at tbe conference at Charlotte
but not yet ordained.
The above having stood satisfactory
examinations as to character were
declared elected elders.
The liishop directed the deacoca to
appear at the Jiethodist church to-day
with their Rituals on hand for ordina
tion, and informed the elders elect that
they would be required to appear at
7 o'clock this evening for the same
purpose.
Dr A H Re dford then addressed the
conference for over an hour in advo
cacy of the claims of the publishing
house, the time for the adjournment
having been extended for a half hour
to allow him to conclude. He told of
the struggles of that institution for an
existence, of the discouragement he
had received on every hand; of the
failure of the religious press to sustain
him ; of the great loss it had incurred
by fire, which bad destroyed a portion
of the building, but 6aid that notwith
standing this it had succeeded, having
for several years doubled its annual
income of the prev ious year.
On being questioned by some of the
ministers as to how he had been able
to start the institution without funds,
he hesitated a moment and then told
that he used his own funds for this
purpose, and that now everything he
had oq earth was mortgaged to keep it
from going down.
It wiil be impossible to follow Dr
Redford through the eloauent and
manly appeal he made. It must be
sufficient to say that he created a pro
found impression. In some portions
of the address he completely carried
away his hearers, and caused many of
them to shed tears. When, finally, he
asked if the NorLh Carolina Conference
would give the appropriation asked, a
half.dozen voices responded in the af
firmative.
Rev V O Gannon, pastor of the
Salisbury church, then made the fol
lowing announcements for services to
day (Sunday) :
Metiiodisi church Bishop Doggett
at 11 a. m ; the administration of the
Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at 3 p.
m., conducted by Rjvs J H Wheeler

Baptist church (Meroney's Hall),

and at 7 p. m., by Rev J B Bobbitt, D.
D.
Oa motion the decision to the effect
that Bishop Doggett should preach a
memorial sermon on the death of
Bishop Marvin was revoked, and it was
announced that the sermon would be
preached this (Sunday) morning at 11
o'clock.
The conference then adjourned till
9:30 Monday morning.
CONFERENCE NOTE3,
The failure of Bishop Doggett to ar
rive at the beginning of the meeting,
has cause much delay iu the business,
and it is now generally believed that
the business of the present session can
not be concluded until before Wednes
day night. . Much of the routine busi
ness, has now been disposed of, and
some interesting and important ques
tions will be discussed this week. The
Committee to whom was referred the
question of the division of the confer
ence, with a view of combining the
western portion of its territory with the
seventeen counties in the extreme
werteru par-t of the State, now
attached to the Holston conference,
have decided to report in favor of
memorializing the General Confer
ence to this effect.
This is probably the most important
measure which will engage, the atten
tion of the conference. Should the
Ge neral . Qcmeyence consent to the
division, Charlotte will be in the West
ern Conference;-

have been made upon the streets since
