EDWARD, CONIOLAND, BS)., i KILLED. "A' e have never been called upon to report a sadder occurrence than the accidental killiBer of Edward Co- nigland, Esq., of Halifax, N. C, on Tuesday afternoon, by a railroad train. He was returning from hia plantation to his home, on the out skirts of the town, and was walking upon the railroad track. Being ex tremely deaf, he neither heard the cars nor the - repeated signals of alarm, and was hurried into eter nity without " any sense of im- lnnHinrr nonrra'v Ann knew him well. A noble man has fallen with his mental pow ers in unabated , vigor. ' Wo write the simple truth when we say that a brave, chivalrous, honest, just, true man has thus perished under the !nossaddemng circumstances. He was a gentleman of fine abilities, was well read in certain departments, and was a capital lawyer.- - a.tr - was u widower, but leaves several children to mourn over their melancholy be reavement. He was thrice married, was a native of Ireland, and was about sixty-two years of age. No man in Halifax county was held in higher esteem, Tand no man more de served the confidence of the people. He was a member of the Roman Catholic Church.' ; . , . .,,. "The elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, Hue too a man." Judge Humphreys has delivered an opinion favorable to John J. Pat terson, and hie has been discharged. Gov. Hampton, of South Carolina, had made a requisition for the varlet, but the Judge held that South Caro linatad no power; t vacate the Sen ator's commission. He was no fugi tive from justice, but Was in Wash ington in the discharge of hia official duties. TheSenate will have to judge for itself. How long would such a fellow be allowed to remain in that body if it were composed of men of a high sense of dignity and honor? We are pleased to see it stated that Senator Butler, of South Carolina, will soon make a statement, in the TJ. S. Senate, of the Hamburg massacre, and demand an investigation. He has been the . object of ' unmitigated abuse and slander,, but now that his voice can be heard he wilL demand a scrutinzing investigation into the whole matter.

Washington, Dec. 2. - The case of Mr. Eustis, of Louisi ana, which was reported favorably from the committee pn Privileges and Elections yesterday, ' will, it is ex pected, be taken up before the Christ mas holidays. Three of the Republi can members of the committee (Messrs. Ingalls, McMillan and Cam eron of Wisconsin) ' will submit a minority report against Eustis. The committee decide that Mr. Eustis is entitled to the seat from January 12, 1876, which would only entitle him to draw pay from that time, instead of since March 4, 1873, the beginning of the term for which he was electod. Pinchback got all the money for the intervening period. It is not now believed that there will be any seri ous contest made over the admission of Mr. Eustis. - Statements are made- to-day that investigations now in progress in Louisiana will result in furnishing such facts as will lead to the criminal indictment of Mr. Kellogg. The re sult will be, it is said, his speedy loss of the seat into which he has just been voted. Mr. Kellogg, in con versation, stales in the most positive manner that he defies the closest scrutiny into every act of his since his residence in Louisiana. He says the opposition to him in that State have been trying for years to get their finger upon something to make a case against' him, but they cannot do it. How the Democrats Like ibe flfeaaage Special to Richmond Dispatch. .Washington, Dec. 3. : The message is regarded as an able one by Democrats. Many of them, however, say that there are too many paternal recommendations in it. It does not please the Radicals. Its financial doctrines in the main satisfy the hard-money men, except such as are uncompromisingly in favor oF a single standard of value. On the other hand, the soft-money men say that the President follows Sherman blindly, and that Sherman is as much a representative of Wall street as if its money-changers were speaking through him. Apropos to this branch of the message, it ought to be stated that the silver bill, which passed the House, has been reported to the Sen ate with-amendments, the chief of which are that the Government shall be paid for coinage, and that it shall not be issued in greater sums than from two to four millions, per month. Tlie Republieasa Dotfce a Vote oh Be olatlona f Thanks to Sir. Mayes. Washington Special to Dispatch, Dec. 3. The sensation in Congress to-day was the series of resolutions which Mr. Knapp, of Illinois, offered in the House, which declared that the Presi dent, for refusing troops to assist in upholding a pretended government in South Carolina, and thereby re storing to the people of that State .local self-government, entitled him to the thanks of the American peo ple. As soon as their tenor was com prehended there was a good deal of excitement on the Republican sido Colger excitedly moved - toadjourn, and called the ayes and noes. . Gar field called out to him, "Let's have no filibustering,but vote them down." Prudence prevailed, however, and tho roll was finally called on the motion to adjourn, but before it could be read the Speaker declared the extra session at an end.

Robinson then asked that the Conference consider the question of raemoralizing the General Conference for a division of the North Carolina Conference,' immediately after the election of delegates. On motion this was agreed to. Rev. T. H. Pegram, late of the Methodist Protestant Church, then came forward and took the vows of ordination. (Election of delegates to General Conference next took place. We have already published the list of the elected). .The committee on the division of the Conference then reported. . . After setting forth various reasons for a division tho report concluded as fol lows: i1!' "With these reasons slated, your Committee submit the following: s "Resolved, That we, as a Confer ence, memorialize the General Con ference, which meets in Atlanta in May next, to transfer to the North Carolina Conference all the territory in the State of North Carolina within the bounds of the Virginia and Hol ston Conferences " ; "Resolved, But if in the wisdom of that body they should refuse the re quest to transfer the territory of the Virginia Conference in this State,and will transfer us the territory of the Holston Conference within this State, we request that a division be made, the line Tanning along the Eastern boundaries of the Charlotte and Sal isbury districts on the east, and with the State lines of North Carolina on the west."

See-i ing thai ttey hai enough "already The pre-i prietor refused to let them have any more, whereupon they got wrathy. One of the party went outside and was in the act of taking down the - sign, when policeman Woebse, who was on that beat, asked him what he was -about. - He replied that be was taking down the man's sign, ' as the proprietor of the saloon thus advertised that he kept a bar-iobm, while he could get nothing to drink in it but water. The officer ordered him to desist, threatening to take him to the guard house if he did not, whereupon the proceedings were stopped and the officer moved on. In a few min utes afterwards., he : returned and found that the same man .had gone into the saloon aud made an assault upon the pro prietor. He started to arrest the offender, when the latter made tracks fpr.his vessel, which was lying at the wharf in fiont of the saloon. : .The. officer followed r; and caught him. just as he was in 'the act of climbing up the rope ladder to the deck of the vessel; but' as he got his arms around the waist of -Andersen, .Joseph-' Carlsen ran up and seized the Officer; saying with an oath that he should hot arrest his com rade. Other seamen in the meantime had gathered around, and Andersen escaped up the ladder and got on board of his vessel.' Officer Woebse drew his pistol . to defend himself if necessary, andwith the assist ance of one or two other policemen," Carl sen was taken to the guard house.
