Vr, Monroe, oL4he Civil CouH, to answer ] b to the charge of contempt of court in disregarding the order of Jndge -Eight er. They were ably defended by ex Gov. Nicholls, who declared the whole proceedings in violation of the State constitution, but Judge Monroe sen tenced them to ten days imprionment in the parish prison, where they are now locked up. The matter has cre ated crcat excitement in town. THE CHINESE. A modified anti-Cbinese bill will probably pass both houses of Congress, prohibiting the immigration of Chinese for ten years. The debate elicited by the previous bill, together with the talk occasioned by the President's veto, has created an interest in this type of Mon golian which probably would otherwise have been postponed for years to come. Their residence here, and its effects upon the morals, the business and the politics of our country, is a grave question, and one which, up to this time, has been re garded almost invariably in but one way, viz : with aversion. Those with whom the Chinaman is most closely in contact are most bitter in their denunci ations of his vices, which they represent as composing his entire character; while those who claim to be unbiased by prejudice, draw at least an uninvi ting picture of his morals. Mr. Jennings S. Cox, in a graphic lecture, the other night, before the Young Men's Christian Association of New York, very cleverly portrayed the good and bad features of the Mongolian pest. The Chinese in California, ac* ?ording to this authority, have a super ficial cleanliness. They are handy at ill things and easily taught. 'The mer chants are affable and their stores are models of neatness and order. They ire ; quick calculators. The laboring class is superior to that of auy other nation, not excepting Americans ; their Jay's work is laid out in the' morning md systematized ;; their laundries are scattered all over the city ; they are ex cellent gardeners and are valuable as farm bands. In the trades and io the irts, when imitation is required, they ire unsurpassed.' They work cheap ind so drive out all other labor. They Day their debts scrupulously. These ire some of their excellent qualities. The reverse side of this picture is this : They are slaves to the Six Companies. Politically, they have no love for a free government and no wish to become American citizens; they are Chinese irst, last and all the time. They have he utmost contempt for our system of government, but conceal it. They are spiritualists, fatalists and worshippers )f images made by their own hands. iVh?n they burn their J?ss sticks , and ireworks over the grave the whole thing s finished. As Christians they are not i success- Mr. Cox illustrated this lat er-point thus: 'My cook left me to be come a minister, and ended up by be soming a boy in a butcher shop. Gam bling is a passion with them,-as isopitjjft smoking. All that the lbwep^c?asses eem to live for is to get thpongli their york andrget to an opium den They are juilty otmost abominable practices Host of the woman sent here are for he purpose of prostitution. Their po: iteness is on the surface, and I have tnown them to kill a man who owed hem twen ty-five cents. The mother will ell her daughter to a life of shame for a ?w dollars.' With all the superiority which Chris ianity and science has conferred upon us s a nation, with the immense advantage f having sprung from a younger stock, re cannot be uninjured by an unlimited nflux of such people as Mr. Cox de er ibes.

The General Conference i>f the Methodist Episcopal Chmrch South. One of the most important ecclesiasti al bodies within the United States? he General Conference of the Methodist episcopal Church South?met at Nash ille, Tcnn., on last Wednesday.! This ody is presided over by the Bishops, 3 composed of delegates both h y and lerical, elected by the .annual Iconfer nces, and meets every four yea r$. It s the supreme legislature and judicial >ody of the church, and represents the uost talented men within its bounds. >reviou8 to the political agitationj which inally culminated in the civil, war, here was but one General Conference irhich controlled the entire Metihodist ?burch of America; but since! that ime it has been divided, each portion ssuming by way of distinction the suf ixes North and South. / Since the last meeting of the Opnfer nce three of the eight Bishops [ have lied?Marvin, Doggett and Wigh|tmau ?and of the remaining five, Bushop -"aine is at his home iu Mississippi, too nfeebled by age and infirmities jto do urther work. The remaining foujr are ?ishops McTeyre, Keener, Pearcft and ?a vanaugh. 'Il The delegates from this StzM are lev. A. M. Sbipp, D. D., at pnesent Professor in Vanderbilt Uuivek-sity, ?fimuel B. Jones, D. 1)., W. W. a)un an, D. D., 0. A. Darby, D. D.,- and lev. W. P. Morgan ; and the laymen ire President James H. Carlisle* of ^Vofford College, General William Stokes of Barnwell, F. A. Conner of Vbbevi?le, W. H. Newton of Marl'boro, md W. T. D. Cousar of Chester. ? At the present meeting matters of jrave interest to the whole church,;now j lumbering nearly a million communi ants, will be considered and acted ipon, among the more important of vbich arc Church extension, the Jkjuor [ucstion, the extending of increased aid o the six million negroes of the South, he question of dropping the sjifBx couth from the name of the Chcjrcb, he election of bishops and the different neasures that may be introduced look ng toward increased fraternity und final inion with the Methodist ?pisci>pa? Jhurcb. On the liquor question some .etion is likely to be taken afiirmatory if the views of those who hold that the ;hurch should stand clearly committed gainst not simply the use of liquor/ as , beverage, but its ruanufactue \ d ale.' 1 At least four new Bishops will^e lectcd, and perhaps six, to fill toe acancies caused by death and to meet he demand upon their superintendence y the astonishing expansion of Metho ?-'S: dism withio the Southern jurisdiction. The Conference is made up of the ablest men to be found within its bounds, and, as a result, its quadren nial meetings mark, epochs in the steady advancement of this branch of the church in number and influence. In connection with the General Con ference is the meeting of several socie ties whose work is auxiliary to that of the Conference. The principal of these is the! Woman-'s Missionary Society, which holds its fourth annual meeting on the 18th of May. Kepresentative women from thirty-nine auxiliary State organizations will be in attendance, the boundaries of the work embracing the territory from Maryland to New Caledo nia and from Colorado to Florida, and numbering within its organization over 26,000 members. THE ELECTION TRIALS. Charleston, S. C, May 1?In the United Stats Circuit Court here to-day, the jury charged with the case of the United States against John T. Hogg and others, accused of obstructing qual ified voters, in Barnwell county at the election in 1S80, were called into Court at one, p. m., and having failed to agree on a verdict, they were discharg ed and a mistrial entered. The jury stood ten for acquittal and two for con viction. The Government this morning took up the case of the United States against John B. Nixon, Maurice Maguire and John C Levin, Managers of Election at Hope engine house pre cinct, in this city, at the election in 1880. The charge is stuffing the bal lot box. The Government examined five witnesses, one of whom testified that there was an excess of 1,079 tickets in the box over the number of names on the poll list. Another testi fied that he saw one of the managers with his hand in the box after the poll closed, and three testified that they saw two of the managers putting something resembling tickets into the hole in the ! ballot box during the day. Charleston, May 2.?In the United States Court, to-day, the trial of the Managers of Elections at Hope Engine House Precinct in the city of Charles ton, was resumed. In addition to the testimony for the prosecution sub mitted yesterday, the District Attorney to-day examined five witnesses. No new facts were brought out by the prosecution. The defense then opened and examined Jno. B. Nixon, Julian C Levin, two of the defendants, and five other withesses, Up to the hour of adjournment. Testimony for the de fense goes to show that the Republican Supervisor, who now testifies against managers, said on the night of the elec tion, after the polls were closed, that he was thoroughly satisfied with the manner in which the managers had con ducted the election, aud tHat the mana gers could uofhave committed the acts with which they are charged without being seen by those immediately around them. Charleston, MavJ3.-^11^,1% ?ftjfr^ StaiesCv^Ui^Jourt to*day the case of ??tHjfclted Stages vs, the Managers of Election at Hope Engine House Pre sinct was resum?V?. The defense closed its testimony and i,he government p\it up a number of witnesses who swofe that the reputation >f Rev. A. S Dob^s (one of the wit nesses for the prosecution whose verac ity had been impungied) was good and that would believe hi?m on his oath. Argument was theti opened for the prosecution by Warden R. Marshall one of the'District Attorney's assistants. Colonel C. R. Miles\ then followed with an argument for th?? defense. j Charleston, S. C , M^y 4.?In thej United States Circuit Coutt to-da/ E& Judge A. G. Magrath was heard for the defense in the case of the United States vs. the three Managers of Elec tion at Hope Engine House in this city. District Attorney Melton closed for the prosecution Judge Bond simply told the jury that there was no law in the case?that it was one solely of fact, and they must take the record and find their verdict. The jury then retired and at night fall had not yet agreed. The return to the rule against the two jurors, Fountain and Strom, who dissented from the -verdict in the Acton case, was read, in which it was stated on oath that they had been subject to undue pressure by the officers in charge of the jury, and that they had signed the verdict upon the distinct under standing that there was no punishment attached to the first count, upon which alone the verdict of guilty was found. The District Attorney then submit ted affidavits from five of the jurors who were on the jury with Strom and Foun tain, in which their statements were de nied. In reply the counsel for the jurors submitted the affidavit of another one of the jurors sustaining the statements of Strom r.^d Fountain. Counsel for the jurors then took the position that it was not in the power of the District Attorney to institute pro ceedings against them ; that the jurors were beyond his reach, and that they had not been brought by the District Attorney, but were pressed by the Con stitution and law of the land as the judges to try the case ; and that unless they were guilty of contempt of Court, neither the District Attorney nor the Court had the power to proceed against them. Judge Bond said he did not care to hear argument and intimated that he would discharge the rule at a future time. It was then arranged that argument in arrest of judgment in the Acton case would be heard next Wednesday, and that until then the Court would hear only civil cases. From the Neics-and Courier of May 7. The jury charged with the case of the United States against Jno. B. Nixon, Maurice Maguire and Julian C- Levin, managers of election at the Hope En gine-house precinct in this city in 1880, having failed to agree upon a verdict up to 3 o'clock yesterday, were after that time brought into Court. Judge Bond asked the foreman, Mr. M. G McBlair, if they had agreed to a verdict. The foreman replied that they had not. Judge Bond then being further in- | formed by the foreman that the cause of i disagreement was difference of opinion as to the facts, ordered a mistrial to be entered and discharged the jury. The jurors looked very tired and seedy, hav ing been kept together under close sur veillance, night and day, since Monday morning last. It is stated that the jury stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal as to Nixon, ten for conviction and two for acquittal as to Levin, and the entire jury agreed to the acquittal of Maguire.
