OBZTmCJES, SOUTH.. : Eighty-third Annual Se*gion. SECOND DAT. The (Jonierence met ye-iterday morning pur sunn t to adjournment, a: half-past 9 o'clock the ROT. Bishop George P. Pierce in the chair. The meeting was opened by the usual religious services, conducted by tho Rev. ll. A. 0. Walker. The minutes of the day before were -then resM and confirmed, and the names of several mem? bers who had arrived since the opening of the session reported. In, pursuance of- the regular business, the names of several members of the Conference were called, and their characters passed. The venerable Rev. Dr. Bachman was Intro? duced, and briefly addressed the Conference. Rev. Dr. Poisal, or Baltimore, was then Intro? duced, and presented the claims or the Southern Quarterly Review, published In Baltimore under the editorial care of Dr. A. T. Bledsoe, and now adopted as the organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Sooth. Bishop Pierce, from the obalr, commended the Review to the patronage of the Conference. The business was then suspended, and Dr. L. Pierce, of Georgia, preached the annual sermon before the Conference on the ministerial office. The discourse was listened to with profound at? tention, and at Its close the-Conference adopted, by a rising vote, a resolution offered by the Rev. H. A. C. Walker, expressing the pleasure of the Conference at having this venerable servant of God among them, and their high appreciation or the sage counsel deUvered by him. Dr. Harrison, editor of the New Monthly Maga? zine, was Introduced, and addressed the Confer? ence m regard to various works issued from the publishing house of the church at Nashville. July Harris, a colored preacher, was elected to deacon's orders. Credentials of ordination were restored to C. H. Spears and Wesley Bod le. The announcements for preaching were then* made and the Conference adjourned at half-past 2 P. M., with thfc benediction from the chair. THE BRIGN'OLI-MCCULLOCH MARRIAGE.-The marriage of these musical artists, which took place (says the New Tork Herald) in Canada, last summer, was celebrated by the customary recep? tion or friends a few days ago at the residence of the bridegroom, In Eighty-fourth street. It would have occurred earlier, but for the fact that the Signor was fulfilling an engageaient with the NUlsson Company. INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY-.-The Gentle? men's Assoc atlon, auxiliary to the Confederate Widow's Home, has appointed its first ann Iver sary Tor Monday night, at the Music Hail of the Academy of Music. The annual oration will be delivered by Major Theodore G. Barker. The cause ls one which enlists the Interest of our wbole people, and with snoh an advocate, it will not fall to command attention. THE NONDESCRIPT IN FLORIDA.-The celebra? ted Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker, a species of bloomerite i mortality, was lu Savannah at the last accounts en route for Florida. She proposes to establish her peculiar school of woman's rights' In the latter i unfortunate s tate, and nurse ber own personal cor- ; porosity. A Savannah paper says her dress was of Confederate gray extending to her knees, the i balance cf her attire being a serviceable pair of i bifurcated unmentionables, terminating In a i pretty pair of gaiter boots. THE COUNTY SENATORIAL ELECTION.-Curb- 1 Btono gossip among the corner politicians points unerringly In the direction of a colored candidate for the now vacant office of senator front Charles . 1 ton. Whether Parson Adams or Parson Cain,' or some other person whose name has not been pub- ' llshed to the world, will be chosen, are questions for time and the caucus to solve; but all the chances are In favor of equal division of the ' donors between the two races. In other words, Senator Corbin ls regarded as a sumc.cntly dis- 1 linet, emphatic aud Individualized representative 1 >f the white element to hold his own and satis ry 1 tepubllcau consistency. It ls als) urged that an tonest and capable colored senator is to be pre- 5 erred to a doubtful white Radical, who may pos- 1 tess more Intellectual force than moral virtue, rbis ls true, and if the Republicans make their ' ;holce of a colored man on such terms they may jlalm -forgiveness for their shortcomings in 1 nany other respects. B. 0. B. !- Which being translated means tho Blessings or Bankruptcy-blessings that have >een dispensed to a very large crowd or passen? gers on that high pressure steamboat yclept ?Insolvent Debts." They are generally blessings jr a character, however, which the recipients, be- 1 'ore they get the Tull benefit of the shower, dis- 1 tover to be very muc^i disguise!. For instance, to ' >e button-holed by a phyloinomlcally ugly 1.0. 1 J. on every street corner; to be rung up by hungry 1 ?Hectors at carly hours In the morning, and iraylayed In the evening; to be followed by shadows which haunt yon by day and become i Hg h tm ares In your sleep; to be worried, chaffed, l loused, enraged, upset; to contemplate vengeful I issault and battery on your tormentors, and \ lommlt Imaginary suicide on yourself; to lose I rour appetite, become dyspeptic, and morally i mn "down at the heel;" to have your tender Ut? ile wife periodically Inquire "what makes you ook so blue?" and pathetically suggest castor oil ' ts an aperient-these are only some of the pre- ' Imluary tortures or thc bankrupt process-the ' 'blessings In disguise." . . I Then to go before the well-fed registrar, whoso ' "ntness throws your poor anatomy lu the shade, 1 ?nd intensifies the contrast between your past 1 ind present; there make out yonr schedule of lebts, conscious all the while that thc world owes rou more than you owe lt, aud have the same paraded before this eye aud that, criticised by i a wye rs and scanned by courts-that's a torment, i ;oo. Finally, however, when yonr unhappy ? ?orpse has been sat upon until every joint has ihrteked, and Judge and jury have submitted meir verdict, and you are pronounced free to be ?'own wherever the wind listeth, though you may itand. therein clothes that are only a slightlm. movement on the toilette of Father Adam-say a ieck-tie and a pair, of shoe-strings, which have seen In mercy left-ah, yes, here's where ;he real "blessings" come tn. Your creditors "bless" you mightily-over the lert. Your former "friends"-who fed on your bounty and enjoyed rour sunshine-they, too, bless you ror a poor miserable broken down bankrupt, and turn the sold shoulder. In your Imagination all the world lojks askance and walks on the opposite Bide of the street. But no, thank God, not all. In a man's darkest hour there ls always a ray of human twilight striving to dispel the gloom; human sympathy somewhere burns to reach misfortune. By and by it finds its object, and then the scene begins to change, and life to build Itself anew on bright' er-but really, reader, your pardon-. We com? menced to wrlie only a paragraph stating that, since 1867 there have been eu te: ed on the docket or the registrar in bankruptcy for this district upwards of five hundred and forty-one cases, of which number ab ut three hundred have been discharged from their legal obligations. The sta? tistics of t li2 office, however, show that not more than one In twenty declares a dividend worth the trouble of securing lt. In a single Instance, a dividend of one hundred per cent, was deoiared, or dollar ror dollar paid with interest. The next highest was flrty-seven and one sixth per cent., from which figure there is a sort or facills decensus Averni, until you are among Insignificant and uuappreclable Perns like three-eighths and two-fifteenths of one per cent. vulgar fractions in a double sense, standing there In black and white to tell the world ho w mathe? matically poor a mah may become, when he gets Into a bankrupt court and does his honorable duty, and what a skeleton prosperity appears when stripped of the last shirt on Its back. Speaking or the B. 0. B., lt is but tasteful to say that in the administration of the affairs of his offlce, the registrar, Mr. J. 0. Carpenter, 'has uni? formly exhibited a spirit of courtesy and accom? modation, which has won the appreciative regard of all who haye had anything to do with the hu? mane institution. "MUM'S THE J^u^JThe brokers com? posing .Che Charleston,,,Stock. Board yesterday; passed a resolution' agahist the continuance ef toe publication of the weekly official stock list. We understand that the board went further and prohibited thepnbilcation, either In the newspa? pers or lu letter-sheet form of any similar price list of stock, Ac., by any Individual member* of the board. This action will account for the non? appearance In this issue of THE HEWS of the usual weekly official stock list. THE PRATT .INQUEST.-A coroner's Jury was empanelled yesterday morning to Inquire into the cause of the death of Captain Horace A. Pratt, who was one of the sufferers at the explosion at the Etiwan Works, and died from the effects or the injuries he then received. The evidence in the lato Williams Inquest was submitted, but not proving sufficient to satisfy the Jury, they, ad? journed over until to-day, when they will meet at the City Heiland examine several witnesses who have been summoned. Fina.-The fire briefly recorded in THR NEWB of yesterday, occurred about hair-past 1 o'clock, A. M., in the blacksmith shop In thc rear of C. Bart A Co.'s fruit store on Harket street. Extending to the front, the greater portion of the store was injured, and the stock badly damaged by water. Scorched cocoanuts, demoralized bananas, mushy-looking oranges and lemons, and moist books, made a dreary aspect yesterday of what had been a bnsy place. Three appraisers were engaged in estimating the damage. The accounts were saved. Daring the fire, a large amount of fruit and fireworks was stolen. Some of the thieves were arrested, but let off with a reprimand. Messrs. Bart A Co. were insured in the North British Mercantile Insurance Company for live thousand dollars. IXION AT THE ACADEMY.-The rollicking bur? lesque of Ixion, and his flirta; lons la the realms of Olympus, was given last night In very spirited style by the beauteous Blondes. The divinities kept the audience in a roar throughout the per? formance, and we hardly know whether the palm ought to be awarded to the raging Mars, with his fearful sabre Oe mon pere, or to the witching Minerva, with her Lilliputian helmet and Brob dlgnaglan chignon, who seemed to possess the faculty of communicating to the* house the good spirits she so copiously and frequently Imbibed from the handy flask in -her delicate reticule. Miss Weber, as Ixion, was, as usual, Immense. Her songs and especially her dances were sys? tematically and enthusiastically encored. This troupe grows In public favor nightly. This (Fri? day) evening ls the fashionable night, and the great musical extravaganza of Lurline, which is to be piesented, will be sure to attract a crowded house. The ladles and children are delighted at the prospect of an Ernanl matinee to-morrow. CLUBS AND STABS.-Jolla Simons, > rrested for being drunk and disorderly on East Bay, and for general vagrancy, was ordered to leave the city. Henry Ellison, lodged for stealing a watch, was detained for further examination. The watch, which was round In bis possession, was tho prop - erty of Mr. Henry L; Faber, and has been return? ed to the lucky owner, by whom lt has been given un as lost for the last eighteen months. Reuben Crawford, Ned Small, Robert Prloleau sud Preston Owens, arrested while In the act or Healing rice from the schooner Palmetto, lying at ctn soim"s Mill wharr, were turned over to the State for prosecution. John Hopkins, lodged for larceny- of United ?tates currency to the value of $8 22, was held for further examination. Mr. O. V. Hunter, wnose arrest for soliciting orders without a license was noticed yesterday, was discharged, there being no proof of his hav? ing obtained an order. George Green, Charles Robertson and Charles Robinson, arre-ted tor stealing fruit at the Ure In Market street, were discharged with a reprimand. Robert Macbsth, arrested for stealing a box or gloves from a store in King street, had a prelimi? nary hearing and was remanded for further el? imination. Two cows found going at large In Rutledge itreet were taken to the Statlonhouse yard and )rdered to be advertised. P. Walsh and James smith were examined be 'ore Trial Justice J. G.
