THE EMPEROR'S ADDRESS. GERMANY'S REICHSTAC HEARS THE PATRIOTIC MESSAGE, Blsmarek's Pathetic Words-He Says AU Na ions Brought Sorrow to the Grave of the Dead Monarch. Bmnm, March 19.-The Reichstag was packed with people today when the Em peror's message was read to the national body. The message said: "We, Frederick, bythe grace of God Emperor of Germany, of Prussia, etc., proclaim that, with the demise of our beloved father under God's inscrutable will, the imperial dignity, with the Prussian crown, has devolved upon us and we have taken upon ourselves the rights and duties bound up therewith. We are resolved to keep inviolable and firmly uphold the imperial constitution end in this sense to conscientiously respect and guard the constitutional rights of the indi vidual Federal States ann the Reichstag. JUSTICE, FEEEDOM AND OEDER. "Fully conscious of our exalted task, it will, after the example of our ever-remem bered father, always be our endeavor, in conjunction with princes and free towns of the federation, and with the constitutional co-operation of the Reichstag, to shield jus tice, freedom and order throughout the Fatherland, safeguardthe honor of the Em pire, maintain peace at home and abroad and foster the welfare of the people. "By the unanimous readinesswith which the Reichstag agreed to the proposals to strengthen the deensive power'of the Fath erland in order to assure the security of the Empire, the late deeply lamented Emeror bad the last days of his life rejoi and atrengthed. He was not longer permitted to express his thanks to the Richstag. All the more, therefore, do we feel the need of transmitting to the Reichstag this legacy of its imperial master, who is now resting with God. "We express our thanks in recognition of the patriotism and devotion it has again shown. Trusting confidently to the devo tion andtried love for theFatherland of the whole people and the people's representa tives we place the Empire's future in God's hands. "Given at Charlottenburg the 15th day of March, 188. FREER~cL." Countersigned) BrsEcm L REPEATED BURSTS OF APPLAUSE. The message was readby Herr Plesdorff, the President of the Reichstag, who re quested permission of the House to submit to it tomorrow a draft of an address in re ply to the message, expressing devotion to the Emperor. request was unani mously' granted. Herr Piesdorff then an nounced that he, with the Vice Presidents of the House, had, in the name of the Reichstag, asked for audiences with the Emperor, Empress, the Empress Augusta and the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, which willshortly be granted. He then ex pressed, amid repeated bursts of applause, the thanks of the House for the resolutions of sympathy with Germany passed by foreign parliamenta. PRT3CE BISMARCE SPEAKS. Then Prince Bismarck, rising, said: "It will afford me greater satisfaction if I am permitted to consider myself charged by the House to communicate the thanks of the Reichstag to these friendly governments whose Parliaments have expressed sym pathy with the grief surrounding us. Such expressions have come not only from our countrymen in all parts of the world, the latest received being from a far German colony in Corea, but from all quartersof the globe, mostly accompanied brequests to lay wreaths and palms on the ror's tomb. "Such widespread sympathy on the occa sion of the death of a sovereign has never yet been recorded. History tells us that the disappearance of great men, notably the death of Napoleon I. and Louis XIV., caused a violent shock. But that wreaths and palms from neighboring people and from peoples at the Antipodes should be laid at the tomb of a deceased monach is unprecedented in history. No monarch ever before was so respected as to cause all the natins of the earth to bring to his grave signs of sorrow. [Applause.] "Rgrigthe special task I deieto undertake, the expression of our gratitude cannot be addressed to all the States of the world. The communications received from our nearer neighbors are especially sympa thetic, for Instance, those from Austria, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Bgimand Denmark. The former rela tions of the last mentioned country to Ger many must have awakened sad recollec tions. The great figure just gone exercised on all aides such a healing influence that not only the Danish Government, but both Houses of the Lgsauesend to the Ger man pepeworhyexpressions of sym path. Aplue. I shall thank you to empower me to express thanks to these friendly nations, upon whose sympathy the peace of the future resta more firmly than upon written treaties." There were loud and prolonged cheers as Bismarck took his seat. IN~ TEE LANGTAG. The united sitting of the Landtag to hear the royal manewas invested with un usual interest anid the galleries overflowed with visitors. As soon as the members had assembled Prince Bismarck, accompa nied by all the Ministers of State, entered the hall and read the message. When the Chancenlor had ceased reading the Dude yon Ratlbor, President of the Upper House, said that It was not withia his province to say how each house would reply to the meage. He would now simply ask the ausembly'to mark the King's faithful at tachment and devotion and unite in the cry of "Long live KigFrederick." The cheer was thrice rpae.The Diet forth with adjourned. Crown Prince Wiliam is indisposed. Professor Bergmann will remain in attend ance upon te Emperor. His Majesty somewhat overexerted himseif last week, and his doctors urg that he take absclute rest from work. Tey also advise out-door exercise at Wiesbaden. The Emperor will prbably depart for that place in a fort eply of the German Belehstag to the Imperial Message. Bzx.m, March 20.-In the Reichstag to dayvPresident von Wedell Piesdorf read the address of that body in reply to the Imperial mesae. The adssexrse gratitude to the Eperor for overcoming all obstacles in the way of his assumning his duties with out delay; thanks hisMajesty for the assur ances his message gave; laments the loss of the ruler to whom Germany owes the re construction of her unity, and assures the Emperor of the unswerving fidelity of the Reichstag, in order to accomplish all the tasks the Emperr William marked out and bequeathedto the Germans. The ad dress was unanimously adopted. A motion was also adopted requesting Prince Blszmarck to Indroduce at the next session of the Reichstag a bill to esect a monument to Em err Wiiam. nhe LdTagemn aopted its address in reply to the royal message by unimous vote. There is an element of deep pathos in the Imperial proclamations and royal mes sage and the addresses of the legislative bodies in reply to them. The spectacle of a new monarch confronted at his first step toware the throne with the absolute cer tainty that his days of life are few, assur ring his people of his devotion to their in terests and determination to preserve the peace of the country regardless of his own pitiable condition, must excite the com passion of the world. In response to these meaningless, because impotent, assurances, an assemblage of statesmen, every one of them knowing full well that the author of these words is incurably ill and cannot at the best live many months, gravely, and, of course, from their their hearts assure their sovereign of their wishes that he may be fully restored to health. Dr. Friedberg. Prussian Minister of Jus tice, writes a denial of the statement that the conference of Ministers discussed the question of a regency. It is expected that the Emperor will pro claim extensive amnesty to political and other offenders on Thursday. Count Radolinski has been appointed Chief Marshal of the Count; Court Secken dorf, Major Domo; Count Stolberg, Chief Chamberlain, and Countess Bruhl, Lady of the Palace. Presbyterian Reunion. One of the most interesting matters in yesterday's American was the corres pondence between the reunion commit tees of the Presbyterian General Assem bly and the Southern General Assembly. This correspondence embodies the differ enoes which have prevented the consoli dation of the two great branches of Pres byterianism in this country, and the letters will be submitted to the coming General Assemblies. No religious news of the day is more interesting, and no one can read the expressions from the committees without being impressed by the cordial feeling and deep religions earnestness that have marked the delib erations of the eminent men who have handled a difficult subject so smo'thly. Briefly, the Southern commii tee asks the Northern committee-we use the sectional adjectives merely for conve nience-how its Church stands on the following points of dotrine: 1, Spirit uality of the Church. 2, The relation of the colored people inthe South to the Church, or their incorporation into it. 3, The powers and responsibilities of boards, and to what extent these boards are under control of the General Assem bly. 4, The attitude of opinion touch ing those portions of the Confession of Faith which more specifically in.olve the great system of truth known as the Cal vinistic, and particularly whether there is traceable any distinct tincture of such Pelagian and semi-Pelagian heresies as were matter for controversy in 1837. On the first point the differences be tween the two assemblies are not great. On the second point they radically dis agree. "In our Church," says the South ern committee, "entire independence of the colored people in their church or ganization is the policy which has been adopted, coupled with the largest possi ble measure of aid, spiritual, intellectual and material, which can be given by our Church and people to our colored brethren." The Northern committee replies: "Our Church is not in favor of setting off its colored members into a separate, independent 'organization. We believe that we have a great work to do among the colored people for their own salvation and for the good of the country, and this to be done by recog nizing those who are in the Church as entitled to all the rights and privileges that are involved in Church member ship and ordination." This expression is modified so as to leave present colored presbyteries in statu quo, if they desired it, with repre sentatives in the General Assembly. Upon the third point the disagreement is not radical, 'and upon the fourth point there is no special difference. It can be seen, however, that both committees hold tenaciously to their doctrines and policies. Their heartseseen tobe for re union, but their consciences keep them back. It would be a great event that would witness the consolidation of Presbyte rianism in this country, with its thirteen thousand churches, its ten thousand ministers, and its million and more mem bers.-Baltimore American. 'HOME RULERS ON TOP. They Have More Power Than the Government in Ireland. Lonos, March 21.--The banquet of the National League in honor of St. Patrick, which was held in the Cannon Street Hotel last evening, was the occasion of a most en thusiastic gathering of prominent Home Rulers and the delivery of several extreme ly fiery and defiant speeches. Mr. John Dillon presided, and in a speech acknowl edging the honor asserted that the Nation alists had the upper hand in Ireland o, more and meant to keep it. He himse, he declared, had more power in many parts 'of Ireland than the Government had. He was constantly in receipt of letters asking him to settle disputes between landlord and tenant, in most of which cases his selection as arbitrator was proposed by the former. As evidence of the changed state of affairs and the realization of the landlords that the fight was a losing one, Mr. Dillon cited the case of Sir Henry Burke, who under the pressure of the plan of campaign capitu lated a few weeks ago and granted to the tenants on his estate near Loughrea, not only a reduction of 25 per cent., but also paid the legal costs, restored evicted ten ants to their holdings, and paid the expense of their maintenance while they were ex cluded from their homes. The sad history of the past, Mr. Dillon said, would never be repeated in Ireland. Other landlords must follow the example of Sir Henry Burke. The days of wholesale evictions were over, Mr. Balfour to the contrary notwithstanding, and the practice of im prisoning Irishmen under the elastic pro visions of the Crimes Act, merely because they were Irishmen. is rapidly nearing its close. Concluding he said that the toast "Ireland a Nation," then proposed, was never drunk under more fitting circum stances or with brighter prospects of real ization. Father Byone of Boston responded to the toast: "The Friends of Ireland." The American press, he said, was almost unan imous in favoring Irish home rule. The friends of Ireland in America, would con tinue to support her claims to autonomy with tongue, pen and purse, though they had no desire to direct the policy of those who were doing the real work necessary to achieve Irish nationality, and he would take back with him most positive assur ances of the feelings of gratitude and ap - dao of th. Irih at home toward the THE DIOCESAN CONVEYTION. Mr. McCrady's Views-Ordination Gives no Right to Sit in the Convention-The Laity Advised to Abstain for the Present. To the Clergy and Laity of the Pro testant Episcopal Church in South Car olina-Dear Brethren: I see by the Bishop's late pastoral of March 10th, in stant, there is danger of a very serious misunderstanding between our clergy and laity, which I think may be avoided. The pastoral seems to declare that the laity condemn the clergy for their vote on the admission of a colored clergy man. This is a total misapprehension. As one of those who retired from the last Convention, I beg leave to say (and I think my years, being one of the oldest members of the Church now living, en title me to speak) that we have never objected to the votes of the clergy, be cause that was the exercise of an un doubted right; but we have retired after the presiding officer had deprived us of our right to vote. The clergy and the Bishop being firmly resolved together, our safety only rested on our right to call for a vote by orders, and in that way to prevent the action contemplated by the clergy. This was our right under the constitution, and we had good ground for our action, and our action was strictly under the constitution of the Convention. We denied no one's right as we recognized it under that constitution. The pastoral says we deny the right of an ordained minister of our Church to exercise his privileges under our consti tutien on account of his color. We deny that a clergyman has any privileges by virtue of his ordination under our con stitution. This is the question between the clergy and ourselves, and is a con stitutional one, and the only difference is as to the construction of the words of that constitution, and. certainly, upon the construction of that instrument, the laity have as good right to their opinion as the clergy. But the real difficulty is that some of the clergy hold that their ordination entitles them to sit in our body, while the laity insist that the Con vention is not the Church, and their ordination gives them no such right, while others of them hold to the mean ing of the word "clergyman," as used in our constitution. On both these ques tions we maintain that the laity have as much right to their opinion as the clergy. Now, the only way in which we can express our opinions is by our votes, whenever the vote is to be taken by orders, and our right to call for a vote by orders, whenever two delegations agree to call for it. It was on a vote by orders, as to the organz ation, that the question in the last Convention came up. Upon an appeal from the decision of the Chair in favor of the clergy's views, to which a large majority of the laity was opposed, the Bishop, after stating that he would receive no further appeal, but would go on to the regular orders, as though the body was organized, put the question fairly to the Convention, and a vote by orders was called for, and he announced that his decision was not sustained by the Convention but was re jected; and then turned to the secretary and directed him to proceed to the order of business and declared that he would entertain no appeals. Upon this decla ration the majority of the laity retired, Deleving it to be their duty so to do, as their votes were not respected, and, by retiring, considered the Convention as ended. The laity certainly cannot go to the Convention at Anderson without ac knowledging the validity of the acts of those who remained in the last Conven. tion, which they cannot do without put. ting themselves at the mercy of the clergy, while the constitution puts them on an equal footing when they disagree. Their remedy is to abstain from Con ventions until their rights are recognized, or some arrangement made to compose the difficulty. We do not ask the clergy to give up anything, but simply to sub. mit to the constitution. We are not asking them now to do more than to submit to a proper rule governing all legislative assemblies; that when the de cision of the Chair is appealed from, the bo itself is to decide, and its decisionis I shall say nothing more now, when there seems to be a possibility of haine our differences, than this: Kindness may do much, but such attempts to force the colored cleg upon us, however un willing, may possbybring on all the troubles anticipated inthe pastoral. EDwAnD McCn~ar. The Eplacopal Conference. One of the lay de-legates to the Episcopal conference which was held on Wednesday, in relation to the coming Diocesan Con vention, was asked yesterday if he could give for publication some of the details of the conference. He said that he had no reason to with hold any information as to any action taker by the conference, for the reason that uc action was taken. As a matter of fact, the basis of whatever agreement might here after be arrived at was not formulated by the conference. There were no resolution: passed expressive of the views submitted by any or all of the members of the body. He said, however, that nearly every mem br, lay and clerical, had views, and these views were stated and discussed. The con ference, he said, was not sufficiently repre sentative, as to number, to warrant any definite action, which could only be had when other delegates, lay and clerical, should have been heard from. He under stood that such members would have been been heard from yesterday, and it was then expected that the general opinion of repre sentatives, lay and clerical, could so far be arrived at that plan of action could be put in shape. This delegate declined to give his own views as expressed in the conference; but he had no objection to stating that, from the temper and tone and earnestness of the discussions, there was no doubt that there would be entire harmony at the next Dio cesan Convention.. The information was also obtained, irom a member of St. Philip's congregation, that the divisions in the diocese would be re conced by the adoption of the Tvirginia compromise, or rather plan, whereby, as it is stated, the colored minister would be de prived of none of his rights as a clergyman, but that cach and every .right could be ex ercised either in a separate convocation, or by a restriction solely as to the manner in which the colored member should become a lawmaker of the diocese.-News and Courier, March 28.

A Practical Farmer's Experiments With a New Food and Forage Crop. (From the Greenville News.) The popular idea of a bean crop is a few rows of the plants in a garden in tended to supply the family table for the vegetable season, and a field of beans would only be looked for in an immense truck farm. But B. F. Perry has been experimenting on his Sans Souci farm near the city with a new variety of bean, which he believes is calculated to revolu tionize agriculture in this country by furnishing a wonderfully prolific, valua ble and cheap food and feed crop that can be adapted to any soil. The new vegetable is called the "Soja Bean." It came from China, whence 4 civilized Europe has captured so many < of its most valuable discoveries, and was introduced in Europe at the Vienna Ex position. The cultivation of the bean spread rapidly in Europe, whence it naturally spread to this country. Mr. Perry saw accounts of its remarkable t growth and great food value, and along with Col. Wash Shell, of Laurens, he ordered last fall a peck of the "Soja's" paying S1.50 a peck. He planted an acre and last fall gathered 39 bushels exclusive of eleven bushels wasted, which he sold for $1 a peck or $4 a bushel, making $156 as a return for the acre. Mr. Perry is delighted with the new crop and has great faith in its possibili ties. The bean will grow in any soil, he says. It does well in low ground too wet for anything else and yet it is hardy enough to stand the severest drought. It requires less cultivation than cotton, being planted in rows three feet apart and two feet apart in the drill with three stalks in a hill. The beans are about the size of cow peas, yellow when dried, and with a very thin shell. They come three in a pod and the pods grow thickly on a stalk about like an ordinary cotton stalk. The plant sheds its leaves, furnishing fertilizing material for the ground equal to cow pea vines, and the crop _s har vested by pulling the stalks up by the roots and storing them in barn until they are cured. Then the beans easily shell out, and the stalks can be fed to cattle, making a feed which experts, Mr. Perry says, consider equal to Timothy The great value of the Soja bean, how ever, comes in the bean itself. It pro duces prolifically, making on rich ground with good cultivation, 100 bushels an acre. The fruit, according to analysis, contains twice as much nutritive matter as either corn or cow peas. As feed for cattle it is far Latter, Mr. Perry says, than cow peas, and it makes a splendid table dish. The beans are so rich that they can be cooked in water alone, not requiring any butter. Mr. Perry expects to plant several acres in the beans this season. He has had demands for more than his last year's crop for seed, sending some ship ments to Arkansas and to Alabama. He. has furnished President McBryde, of the : State College, with supplies of seed for - the State Experimental Stations, and has shipped sample lots to many promi nent farmers in the State. He believes the Soja bean is the coming crop for this country for farmers who have stock. Progres in the State. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record of this week contains the following statement of new enterprises in this State for the past week: Aiken.-The building of a large hotel is being agitated. Aiken.-The Aiken Institute, recently mentioned as chartered, will erect a build ing to cost from $4,000 to $8,000. Barnwell.-It is stated that a street rail road will be built. Charleston.-Wm. M.

PIANOS AND ORGANS. We are prepared to sell Pianos and Organs of the best make at factory prices for Cash or easy Instalments. Pianos from $210 up; Organs from $24 up.

"It is swell," as the man remarked who had been presented with a black eye. A health writer says: "The wash-tub is an excellent cymnasium." But wifl our3 young ladies tackle kindly- to it? As Mr. Bacon says in Shakspeare's works, "Ay, there's the rub!" And it is the "rub" that makes the wash-tub unpopular as a gym nasium. Violent shocks of earthquakes have con tinued in the province of Tunnan, Cnina, during the last three weeks, destroying many towns and an immense of shipping at Kienshin.

While crossing the Missouri River, a few mils -north of Bismarch, D~ak., Wednes day, "Eagle Head," a well-known Indian scout, and John Warren, a white hunter, were drowned. They had been in pursuit of game and while crossing the ri'.er ran into an air hole and were carried beneath the ice.
