What is to be the future of Trinity no ohe knows, as it. is thought the present management will surrender at the approaching conference. Then what next? A denomination com mits a great blunder when she per mits other communions to educate her 'boys.'' and this the Methodists will learn to their sorrow when they abandon Trinity. A church with a membership in the State of .upwards .of 'seventv thousand, should have ter runs. If with no beginning we can compel the business man from Jlong Kong,.

Raltimore drummers are two hundred "boys" at Trinity rather than one hundred and fifteen. tin: country has lost nothing;. We mean t(n say in the defeat of Morrison : for Congress. It is true that a portion of the press is bewail ing and bemoaning his defeat as a public calamity, but Thk 1'i.axt can't see it that way. On the other hand, we rejoice that he has been defeated. We say this in connection with this, statement, that Thk I'laxt is most heartily in favor of the adjustment, of the 'inequalities of the tariff. The whole of this iniquitous war measure ought to be revised and reduced, ami certainly with. Morrison, of Illi nois, in charge of the measure, no. relief was possible. Governed by wild vagerics, and ill logical notions, he was' one of those who would rule a party or wreck it. We have been struck with one newspapeix-omnient in connection with the defeat ofMo'r .rison, that tells the tale : "It is st:;tfd liy persons, who should know, hi his district, that his defeat was due to per sonal and private reasons." ' lha! at last his own constituency has had enough of Morrison's vulgar ity aud profanity. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they do say they grind exceedingly small. There isin Xortli Carolina a states man who, at the late Chicago con vention was flying a Morrison kite, who has habits somewhat akin to the Illinois blackguard, that the gods are after with their mills, if we mis take not, and Tiik Plant don't care how soon they grind the grist.

On Thursday night, the Senator delivered jm address at Metropolitan Hall before a crowded and -packed house, upon -temperance and educa tion. He strenuously advocated legislation requiring the 'teachers "of all schools to teach the effects- of alcohol on the human system and then talked education of the brain in a masterly manner. The distin guished Speaker, as is the case with most speakers .upon this subject, did 'not allude to the great danger men aceing tlie country from too much education and Hraining of the brain and no 'education and training for the hands. Onb illustrative instance : Shaw I'niversity, of this city, during the past ten years has turned out not less jthan 3,0C0 well educated young colored men. If there is one of this lairge number who is now telling the tail, or who is engaged in any pursuit that require manual labor, he jis not known to the college authorities ; all are engaged in teach ing school, preaching, clerking, ttc The same is true of the young white men and to a greater extent. The question how perplexing the minds of many far-seeing men is, what is to become pf the agricultural interests in the neaj- future should this deple tion of labor jcontinue ? Perha ps the evil might be remedied by educate ing the hand as well as the brain, and the capacity for trades and agri culture would doubtless cause'mdre young men to seek these avenues for a livelihood than do under the Wt'rfi'rn Si'iilinrl : getting stirred! up oiver the prospects of having the Southern Atlantic tt North Western Railroad to run through that countV.

Ala., super intendent of the Charlotte Street Railway Company arrived at the Central Hotel last evening, and an nounced to, an pbsetor reporter that not be found out, but it seems now safe to say that cither from the stove or defective pipe fixtures the fire begah. When men began to gather about Atvvatcr's store, it was sugges ted that I ' ' . i THE DOOR RE r.RoKKX open and the fire reached in that way, but others counseled otherwise saying that would give; air to the fire and fan the flames, and Mr. !
