-XIsCEGENATION IN PENIsYLTTI. WHITE WeN ELOPES w Arn.x N: . mc n Alavist named Gri1ith, in Pernsyv,nia, who is represented to be one of the best tze in the 'co -nty,n hch h lives. was r'ecent i astoni.-hed thAt hsdaugiter h:d p,t into prtc his teach Ing-MissGrifith had eloped with a imk neao. h w e4ployed by her father TLis iaid; to 1aVe horified her miscezcuation parent, and has 'had the pair arrested, and the nero cor.:nt ed for trial. But the proceedings is wrong i; is ie al wbat court has dared to commit thi negro for exercising a constitutional right ?3B-slies, th is negro has been in the habit of sich'-riding Wit GrifUth's daughter, and othcr females of the family. He was on perfect equaity with them he eat at the same table and slept under the same roof. and he had frequently heard Griffith say"a nege was plenty good for a poor wine girl." T refo- the negro is not only legally, but so -chly be' -equal. And how can the daughter be ttamed ; she was taught miscegeuation by her de*r p-a-r-i-e--t ; she saw it Practised in he' father'-s house; she consi dred it purely a t r of tase&afd smell wha: partlcuiar- negro She ~ebdhav~e, and no doubt ,er se!ect,o d cre6it to both, as the negro is s-' to be fall blooded.

And she will have him. Her parent, who now prctends to see the - re Tolting features of his miscegenation teachings, and shrinks with horror from its practice, cannot prevent this union. The nero is his eual in this matter; his superior before the la w. The Civil Rights bill will -ive the maiden her b,ck nigger, despite all th eforts OL he g ent to the contrary. The onIv thing she has to fear is the constacy of her gay Lothario. If her darling Africk-Americau citizen remains true during the weary hours of his imprisonment, she will hve him; her father's party have secured this ine"sl rnable blessing for her, and it were a pity ,he should not enjoy Eet nigger to the fullest extent. We wish her joy ; we wish the nigger jOy ; nd oh ! how heartily we do wish Gn h joy, and aL the Northern uiscegenationists to boot. 3diss Griffith is about seventeen years of age, and is said to be a fine looking girl.

The Philadelphia Enquirer, says the Carolinian, arades on its first page a broadside view of the eering family, seven ia number, who were late l murdered in the Quaker City, all laid out ia heir comns in the undertaker's room! What a propensity the Editor of the aforesaid nquirer must have for the horrible and the ;hastly! We are comm;nded to bury our dead out of ~ight, but the Editor of the Enquirer parades the -ctims of a murderer in their ghastly shrotads, to he morbid curiosity of his readers of the City of ~rother!v Love !^ The editor, if a moralist, and not too much ie to the sale of the morning edhtion of the En ~uirer, cannot be ,ignorant of the great truth hih the poet is so well expressed, andi which has been~ so often quoted, that it surely must have et his eve. We requote it to him again that e may get it by heart, and act accordingly: "Vice is a monster of such frightful mien, As to be hated, needs but to he seen; But, soon too oft, familiar with her face; We first endure--then pit y-then e mbrace." Think of the little children in the morning at bho'breakihst table; horrii'd over this ghastly ~icture in the undertaker's room-the whole ering family murdered and laid out I Tocor ittle things, how frightened they will be at night, tnd hoar they will huddle close together as they alk of it in the darkness ! One of these children-ma: be a man hereafter ontemplating crime-will remember how he buddered when a boy at this scene, and how he ot used to such scenes before he himself became n actor in a simuilar one, by becomning familiar with such exhibitions in the broad first pamge of e Philadelphia Daily EInquirer Methtodist Episcopal Church Conference.

M71.NfIN T WATU.-The oxceedib; dii Culty ii keeping the promise made la-t we, to publish the proceedings of the meeting he'd un der the dan of O'Neili's niil, we hope will be ap preciated when it is knowr , what a sorry plight the panevs were received. Mueh of the intter being i!!eqble is omitted, among i, many inter estin icidents, naturally arising from the mix in, of so many different characters. At one stage of the proceedings it was feared that a row would ensue and break up the whole thing ; it; happened through the mischievo-:s pranks of an eel who, seeing a sucker asleep, with his head resting Cu the Seeretarys taWJI, wigged his tail up to the other's nose,.causing such a fright that in a Imoment a dreadful scene of confusion took p)lace. Happily order was soon restored by the president, t1he eel expeiled and a snuff box pre sentedU to Sucker to keep him awake. The meet mug W' 11ot impromiptu, though on this occasion hastily C!1ed together, tid theref"e but few ou 01ie 0f the iondiaeneghor.iood att:nded. The selecdon of oUcers had been nande in cau eus, a comuttee also picked out and notilled, who had already privately prepired a pream'ble and resolutions, so 'hat one mighlt very well say that the whole thing was all cut and dried, and all that re.1ained to be done %.as for the pvci dent to take the chair, or rather to back up against a slippery rock and call the meeting to order. It was here discovered that no prepara tion had been made, neither table, light, pen, ink or paper at hand. A par y of young suaers outside kicking up a noss were despatched to Senn's for these necessary articles, which furt, nately v were soon brought down, but in a most miserable condition, the ink originally pale wU." ruined by the stopper being out the bottle, which of course becaie tilled n ith river water, tie paper torn and wet, and t1he point of the pen bent by being jobbed at a mud turtle by one tie youTng suckers. It will be understood, there fore, that in the first place the papers were bad Iy drawn up, and made worse thro;igh t"he tip up Scott': creek and the riin mentioned bst week. Hence the great difliculty in prepariig it for press. Most of the above has been subsv quently learned through a private note of apolo gy from the Secretary. Below is the report: 10 o'clock, I'. if., Dam, Dush river.-Meetin called to order, president against a rock, cxpin ed biieflv o1)je-ct of meeting ; said his attention had been called in the afternoon to a singular looking object seen in the water, differing alo gethier from anything ever before noticed. Slipp ed out himself to be satisfied that it was so, wen as c!ose as it was safe to do,and soon saw that it was only dangerous to the young and inexp rienced 'smtall fry,' and immediately issued an or der to take mud or get into holes. Was sorry to say, notwithstanding his warning, (and yet pleased because much valuable information was gained from the acciden;t) one of his brother's children playing about carelessly was taken prisoner by this ugtly thing. Fortunately, however, he slipped through a hole got back home safe, but badl frightened,to his overjoyed parents. As soon as quiet was restored, he was c!osely questioned. lIe remembered while frisking about seeing some thing dark like a cloud, thought a storm was brewing, but before he could get away was caught and drawn upward. Was only up for a momen.t, but saw six white men, one boy, a freed man and several little freed nigs. T wo of the white men tall, one large.r than the oiher ; were all dressed, and not in the water; thle concern which caught him was four cornered, looked like the top of a French bedstead, (recollected seeing one going over the bridge once,) and had a long pole attached for a handle. Just here he slipped through back into the water. Asked if lhe heard any remarks made. Yes, one, "it's a humbug, vou North Carolina tar heel." Did not hear more. Now these are the main facts, and it would be a satisfacetion, under more ft.vorable circumstances, to hear some of you espress opin ions, but as tihe night is so dark, and it a raining too, it is anything but pleasant out here in the cold and wet, i'm soaked to. the skin now as must be the most of' you, therefore it will be w eli to dispense with any other remarks, arid immediate ly proceed to appoint a committee to draft a preamble and resolutions, which it is hoped will cover the whole ground of complaint.~ Iwol simply state further. that from the description~ given, I think thec cause of alarm unnecessary, with due precaution, but still it should be viewed! with scorn and indignation; it is evidently a net new fashioned, but a sorry affair, as the name IIumbug implies ;that it is intended-to Lake us in is evMecnt, but k will nor if we are true to our selves (erles of we will, we will), and judging from the expression "tar hiel" it is of North Carolina invention, therefore we must denounce 'as natives of South -Carolina waters. Other ioportant matters might be here spoken of and iscussed, as for instance whether under the civil -ights bill we are reqmuired to take kinidly toa freed as well as a white man's hook, whether trot inesare legitimnate, and whether authority can1 >c L.ought to show that seining is not dar.gerous and :.t'atening to our constitution, but I am again reminded of the rain, one big drop has early blin ded me, while another slipping down my baAk has brought en sympto:ns of neura!gia, a hoarse laugh from a frog,) with these brief re arks, I propose that a committee, to consist of essrs.

In five minutes comumittee reported the follow ng which was unantimously adopted: Whereas, we learn with indignation, mingled ith sorrow and pain, that a new effort is beingr mnde by a party of sand-lappers, headed hy one ar-heel, to introduce a new fan:-led contrivanee nto use by name "Ujmbeg," to prey upon the peaceful denuizens of these waters. And whereas, our liv-es have bceu for a lon.g. nu-uber of year's in continualIjeopardy, evekince'the introduction f seines, gill n;ets, trott lines, &e., and that the ntroduction of the humbug calls for an expres ion of scorn and contempt.

It is :oing uncotnmon for a young nn1 to Cve his sea in the street cars to an older man-al.% ays to a 'ady. There are seve ra tailways in the city-diverging from and crosing each other. 0::-rs are building. The whites and coiored ride in separate cars. That for th- color-d has two stars on each outer side. And w.e.n t!e cars Meoiing to two branches of a common track are runninig on the track com mon to each branch, the gree belong to one branch, and the ,- to the other. If a grcen ore don't lok out he will take the grcen when lie sho:hLi ta%e the yellow. ahd he will take the star when he should take- the p7,in one. On one oe casioi, a few days af-ter- my arrival, I took the right one so far forth as concerned the question of the color of the passengers, but the wrong one as to the hr.uch I should go on reaching the fork. I s,ial not tell you al! the fun result ing fron geting lost, but refer you to my room pate, Dr. B., who after enijoyig hugely and lauingE1::i- my: wailng four squares to get right., himsel under the i1fluence of a similar nleas urc(?) trip foun-1 himself only twenty squares frotm the ig1ht place. He had another advantage -1ls was in the night--mine in the day. Shoe makers and Laeksmiths have much to do,and I trow make mony. Th"e stone pavrement for men and horses uses up leather and iron, and woe be to the man w ho has corns, tight boots -and no monOy. A Blhop for -ach State or Conference does not meet with sullicient favor to carry it; from four to six will probably, in accordance withhe. recom.mendation of the Committee on Episcopacy, be all that wll be added to the present number. We learn th,t the venerable BiAop Soule is not expected to live but a fnw days. Bishop A drew in a ver ai'ectig ~address to-dayj asked the General Conference to retire him as a super annuate, IenLC1 ing that he thought that was the proper co-rse when a Diahop had rca'ched seven ty years. The Conferene to-day passed unanimrously a report providing.that the colored people of the ' ch n-ch V.hen they so desired, and it is judged ex p ndient, shall be organized into a separate charge and in:o a district, and evetrinto an numal Con ference, and thley may, whenf two or more Con ferences grow up--be, if. judged txpe~alent by the be.neh of DiThops, be erganizedI into a sepa rate Gencral C:otfrence, i.e. a separate church. So far the buisiness of th. session has been tran sa.ctcd in the best spirit-athough there is of course variety and differene.e of opinion on mTny topies. I think it vecry certain that the "probatioi" feature of the church will be discontinued. And I am also certaiu that it is Itte, I am tired and this letter is l9ng enough. S'. H. B.
