CIVIL RIGHTS TO COLORED CITIZENS. ‘Phe Car Prokibitions Withdrawn and “white Balling” Done Away With in Richmond— General Schoffeld’s Act of Conciliation Sue iD RicHMonD, Va., Feb. 19, 1872. During the administration of General J. M. Scho- fleid as Commander of District No.1 there was a conflict between the white and colored citizens as to the right of the latter to ride on the street cars, An appeal was made to the General by the negroes to enforce their rights in this particular, and, as a compromise, he designated certain of the cars, in which no negroes were to ride, by a ‘white ball” on tne roof of tne carat either end. This distinction has been maintained until the present as an estab- lishea fixture and also as a memento of military re- construction. This evening the stockholders of the City Railway Company held their annual meeting, and during the session they were waited on by a@ delegation of the leading colored citizens of the city, who presented a petition in a mild and becoming manner age! that the white bails on the cars be abolished, and that hereafver no distinction be made as to the rignt of any citizen to ride in all the cars. They were met in the game spirit by the stockholders, who unanimously acceded to their re- quest, which shows a thorougn disposition on the Part of the people of Virginia to grant the negroes all the Civii rights they are entitled to.

Sir Charles Dilke’s Movement Towards Demo- cratic Goveroment—‘‘Aristucratic Ignorance of American Institutions.” : Lonpon, Feb, 19, 1872, Sir Charles Vilke addressed his constituents in Chelsea this evening, The meeting was crowded, and at the outset was slightly disorderly. Ample precauons, however, had been taken against trouble. The piatform was raised so high that it could not be scaled, the seats were nailed to the floor, and the police were on hand in force. The first symptoms of disorder soon subsided and the organization of the meeting was completed. Sir Charles Dilke then delivered a long and pow- erful speech. He protested against the effort to sup- press free discussion on the subject of the monar- chical principle. ‘He had,” ne said, “attacked the monarchy because of the eviis it engendered, Never did the rich less understand the wants of the poor, and should they continue to ignore them grave results would follow.” He warned his op- ponents to “beware, or they might push the people too far.” Alluding to the relations of England and the United States, he attributed the existing state of ill-feeling to ‘the ignorance whicn prevatied in aristocratic circles of American institutions.” At the beginning and the close of his address the orator received an ovation of cheers. Sir Henry Hoare, the collegue of Sir Charles in Parilament, spoke in defence of the Crown. He was frequently interrupted by the audience, but no violence was attempted either by the hberals or the conservatives, FRANCE.

A Halifax Journal Giving Data on the Existence of a Secret Treaty Between Canada and Great Britain—Why the Document Was Not'Made Public Before the Re- cent Alabama Question Arose. Hauirax, N.8., Feb, 19, 1872, The Chronicle, in reply to an editorial in the Toronto Globe ridiculing the story of the secret treaty, reasserts its authenticity, and says tt is creditably informed that it was signed after the conclusion of the Washington negotiations by Lord De Gray for the British government and Sir John A. Macdonald, as Premter of Canada, on the part of the Governor General. The chief points had been mutually agreed upon between the two governments some years previously, and, 80 far as Great Britain was concerned, it had then been definitely settled as the basis of her future colonial policy. When Lord Bury long since published his draft of the treaty it was not deemed advisable to reduce the understanding to the shape of a formal com- pact, until the apparently satisfactory conclusion of the Alabama difmiculty by the Washingvon Treaty had, as was thought, finally relieved England trom danger and further entanglements on this Con- tinent. The Chrontcle says that only Lord Lisgar, Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George F, Cartier are Cognizant of the trea:y, and menuons some circum- stances which indicate the fact of its existence. The following are the principal points in the arti- cle referred to in tne foregoing despatch :— Somebody has been playing off a joke upon our contemporary of the Halifax Chronicle, From “information received” of “an extraordinary and uniooked-for character,” it alleges that a secret treaty exists between the Dominion and Imperial governments providing for the peaceful separa- tion of the two countries. If there is any one who feels alarmed at this disclosure let him allay his fears with the assurance that had y such document been sigaed, sealed and orm to between the two alleged parties, it would not have been worth the paper it was written upon. Treaties are maue between independent rulers, not between the sovereign and her servants, suchas Governor General. There may, Of course, be agreements as to policy between the government of Canada and the Colonial Office, but there is no treaty-making power either in the British Ministers or in the Privy Council of the Dommton: It there were ever to arise a Minister in Canada who could engage in such an intrigue, he would ve checkmated 1D an instant by his own Parliament; and, so long as we have free represen- tative institutions, our fate is im our own hands. We have, however, @ clue to the discovery of this latest ‘‘mare’s nest.’ Some seven or eignt years ago, at a time of consid- eravie popular excitement in England as to the state of our Canadian defences, Viscount Bury, a son-in-law of the late Sir Allan Mc! Ut been Civil Secretary in Cal Elgio, and afterwards to Sir Edmund Head, wrote a book called “The Exodus of the Western Nations,” Inspired, no doubt, by temporary sur- rounding influences, Lord Bury incorporated in this very heavy piece of literature @ scheme tor the separation of Canada trom Great Britain. The people of England have, since Lord Bury wrote, attained & much higher appreciation of the value and importance of colonial connections than they Possessed in 1865, and the Briush Minister who was detected in any conspiracy to disintegrate the empire would be accorded ag short a suriit as the Canadian who should be found to be his ace complice, WEATHER REPORT.

Two Youths Paying Their Respects to One Young Lady—Actuated by the Green-Eyed Monster One Quarrels with and Shoots the Other, Things Having Gone Far Enough. Boston, Feb. 19, 1872. Another unpleasant love affair last night distin. guished the manutacturing city of Lowell. The soctal position of the parties connected therewith, their general respectability and the singular nature of the circumstances of the case;.render the affair one of more than ordinary: importance. The facts may be briefy stated. For some months past Messra. Charles E. Kimball and Charles R.. Watts have been paying their attentions to Miss Ella Spofford, daughter of Deacon Abraham Spofford, and appeared to receive almost an equal share of her regards—so much so that a strong feel- ing of jealousy was created vetween them. Last evening Kimball accompanied Miss Spoford to the John street Congregational church, and returned with her to her home on Mount Vernon street, entering the house and remaining in social conver- sation with her until after ten o'clock, when he came out, After bidding her good night ne discovered Watts stauding on the sidewalk, and accused nim of having followed the couple home, An indignant deniai followed and this led to mutual recrimina- ons and a general row. FINALLY WATTS DREW A PISTOL from his side pocket, and, with the exclamation, “This thing has gone lar enough,” he fired two shots at Kimball's body. One of them took effect in te right arm and the ouher was lodged in the lun; of the victim, inflicting a dangerous and probab! a fatal wound. A great crowd gathered about the Spot, and the assassin, wno is only sixteen years old, Was taken to the station house. Kimball was removed to his home and properly cared tor. An interview with Watts develops the facts that he does not attemptto palliate or deny his crime, but is only sorry that a fatal result was not assured beyond the possibility of a doubt, The affair has caused great excitement 1n Lowell, and the general sympathy 1s with the assassin on account of a be- lef that he ts partially insane, ‘The Chelsea (Mass.)

CotumBia, 8. C., Feb, 19, 1872. The State Republican Convention for nominating delegates to the National Republican Presidential Convention met in the State House in this city this evening at five o'clock, There are about two hun- dred delegates, of whom about four-fiiths are col- ored and nine-tenths oficenolders, All the mem- bers of the General Assembly are members, Upon calling the Convention to order tne great- est disorder prevailed, &. B. Ellivtt (colored), Mem- ber of Congress from this State, was nominated for temporary chatrman. R. H, Gleaves, an Officeholder and colored poll- tician from Beaufort county, was also nominated, and upon this the Convention split, ‘The colored Members were as bitter and as abusive of each other as members of Congress, and amid a perfect din and uproar of “points of order, privilege, ques- tuons, previous questions’! and other filibustering motions, over three hours were frittered away. R. C. Delarge, colored Member of Congress from this State, nolding a printed ticket for candidates in his hand, said that neither he nor the colored peo- ple would vote for It, even IF IT HAD JESUS CHRIST'S NAME ON IT; nay, even if Governor Scott's name was on it, The Chairman, Lieutenant Governor Ranster, colored, was perfectly powerless to keep order, and abuse and recriminations were kept up by the members in the most fashionable manner. Finally, after about tnree and a half hours of this pandemonium, a colored member, with lungs more sientorian than the rest, shouted aoove the din the name of F. J. Moses, Jr., the Speaker of the liouse of Representatives, tor temporary ehairman. This seemea to act as oil upon the wroubled waters, and the motion was carried by acclamation, On taking the chair Moses said:—We have met at @ time when all who feel an interest in the spocess of the great republican party feel that a crisis 1s upon us, both in our State and national affairs; at a time When most of us at home are united, but when afar off on the watch towers of freedom we find sentinels who have proved faithiess and abandoned their trusts.

Itimerant Versus Settled Minlstry=Both Sides of the Case. Yesterday the discuasion turned upon the ad- visability of extenaing the term of Methodist pas- tors, in special cases, beyond three years, the limié at which it is now dxed. Dr. Crawford, the President of the Preachers’ Association, opened the discus- sion, and took strong ground in favor of the itiner- ant system, though there are very weighty objec- tions against it, some of which he also presented, For instance, agaiust it, it was urged that the finan- clal considerations tended to make ministers indolent; the shifting every three years deprived Methodist ministers of anything de- serving the name of a home, and greatly in- Jured if it did not destroy the inflaence of home, It 18 imposstble, under the triennial changes, fora Methodist minister to present to his congregation or to the world a Christian home, and he (the speaker) wondered not that so many munisters’ families are aot what they ought to be, but rather that so many of them are as good and pure as they are. ‘Then, again, this changing tends to mental laziness. A minister who has prepared sermons enough for one term 18 inclined to repeat those ser- mons to every new charge rather than to study afresh for each separate congregation; and the time that should be devote to study is spent in other, perhaps secular business, ag 1s too often the case, and the man contents himselr with meagre success in his ministry, These and some other OBJECTIONS AGAINST THE ITINERACY were presentea in the strongest light they would bear. But over against these were placed several other important and weighty considerations, such as the beneit which ministers and people derive from the change which brings an abie and success: ful ministry within reach of every church ana every Clags of the community, and which surs up & spirit of emulation in Christian work in the breast of most ministers, He showed that among denomina- tions which have a settled ministry the vads are decidedly im favor of the itineracy. The Congrega- Uonalists of New England, for instance, have about one-third of their churches without ministers and their ministers without churches. The Presbyte- Tians of the United States have about two thousand churches unsupplied and about the same number Of ministers without charges. The Baptists are no better, and the Episcopaitans are nearly as vad. And the average length of the pastoral term in the first named denomination 18 buc three and a half Years, and in special cases it does aot exceed six months; so that the Methodists have the advantage, since their changes are effected UNIFORMLY AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE to any, and all friction between ministers and people is avoided at the same time. He opposed a settled ministry in special cases, also because it created caste which lity soul abhorred. Lt cuuld not cut horizontally as every just rule should do, He op- posed it also because 1i could not be enforced. The bishops would be unable and unwilling to carry 1b out, and the churches or conferences, he believed, ‘Would not undertake the task. He thougnt a better remedy would be to let Methodist ministers who are opposed to the itineracy leave the denomination aud go into another which has a settled miuistry, and where they could low be more useful. He would be very glaa if every vacant churca in vhe country was filled with a Methodist munisier, and he believed there is room enough and work enough tor ail, both for the intunerant and the set- ed pastor, in this country. If the proposed change was adopted he velieved 1t would Kill tue Church in tive years, The Rev. George L, TayLor said that on one charge where he spent two years there was a Con- gregational vhurch which had had three settled pas- tors within that time, and to whom forty trial ser- mons had been preached, and when he was leaving the place the churcn was without a pastor. Mr. Taylor was appointed to open we discussion on this topic next Monday, The Rev. J. 8. WILLIS spoke in favor of a settled munistry in special cases, and said that, the Metuo- dist Church betng NO LONGER A MISSIONARY CHURCH, the itineracy was not as necessary to Its success now as it had been tn the days of Wesley. The suce cess of Methodism was due, he thought, very largely, to tts flexibility; but to bind tt vy iron rules would kill 1, ‘The tendency of the peopie is to centralization, and he thought he saw in tne Metho- dist churches to-day a tendency vo diocesanism. He did not believe in confining Methodism to the poor and allowing rich sinners to go to the devil or to other denominations, He was in favor of havin, one class of Churches and preachers for the rich an other classes of each lor the poor, fhe meeung, however, was. decidedly against this ea, MEL HODIST CONFERENCE. CONVENTION, Methodism To Be United in This City for Mis- stonary and Church Extension Purposes— One Conference Only for Now York. ‘The Uity Sunday School and Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was founded nearly ten years ago, and by ita organization and office it was to supply churches and mission stations to the neglected neighborhoods of the city. In its experience the necessity for establishing churches rather than missions became more and miore apparent, and a year ago its title was changed into that of the City Church Extension and Mission. ary Soctety, It has founded about a dozen churches since its orgauization, besides establishing several Sunday schools and preaching places in neglected localities. Bat in raising lunds and carrying on these enterprises the Society has found itself greatly hampered by the fact that this city, in which it labors exclusively, is divided between the New York and New York East Conferences. ‘This division was made by the General Conference which met in Pittsburg in 1848, upon the recom- mendation of the New York Annual Conference made and adopted two years before. Sogreat dif- culties beset chem that, in fact, though not in hame, two sets of missions ana missionaries have existed here for a long ume, and @ jealousy has sprung up between tne Conferences. The society has recently agitated the subject of opliterating the dividing line, which is now Third avenue, and throwing tne city into one Conference, Last niglt@ meeting in this Le- half was held in Seventh street Methodist Episcopal church, at which Dr, Curry presided, and the fol- lowing resolution was presented by @ committee and discussed :— Resolved, That, in the judcment of this Convention, the division of’ New York city between two Conferences is detri- mental to the best interests of Methodism, we petition the General Conference, which meets in Brooklyn in May, 1872, to obliterate this line, Messrs. Forrester, Uckershausen, Ross, Weed, Fer- Merwin and several other ministers and laymen took part ia the discussion. Dr. Ferris and Mr. Ockershausen showed that when the ditvi- sion was made the number oi churches in each was equal—thirteen; but now the New York Kast nas but twelve churches and a membership of 4,467 in the city, whue the New York Conference has twen- ty-three churches and a membership of 27,608, On the east of the boundary line there are not less than 600,000 souls, ana Methodism is rapidly waning there, and must go down, it was said, unless it becomes a nuit in the city. Mr. Longking did not remember more than one church erected on the east side since the division, and that was alterwards solid. He strongly advocated obiiterat- ing the line or extenatng it to Lexington or Fifch avenue. After considerable discussion pro and con the above resolution was adopted and the oftl- cers of the meeting were Instructed to report the action of tae Convenion to the General Coulerence, THE GREAT WESTERN STORMS, Discovery of Additional Disasters—Sad Death of a Medical Man—Tbe Mutilated Body Found by His Dog—A Train Six Weeks Travelling Two Handred Miles. Sr1oux Cry, Lowa, Feb. 19, 1872. A distressing incident of the terrible storms that have swept over this region during the present winter is connected with the discovery ofthe re- mains of Dr. Hall, of Osceola county, lowa.

Yesterday afternoon the Grand Jury of Hudson county, now in session at Jersey City, appeared in court before Jugue Bedle and presented @ batch of forty-five indictmeats.

Hoifman und otaer promineat members the Bar were present, Judge Bedle asked the tore- man, Mr. Aldridge, if the Grand Jury nad completed their labors, to which the foreman replied in the negative, “Judge Bedle then formed the Grand Jury that the verm of the Circuit Court was euded and that the term of the Oyer Was saspended, 80 a togive him an opportunity of preparing for the | Supreme Court Session at Trenton.

That body bids fair to become as fa- mous as Judge Bediord’s Grand Jury, which brought Tammany down trom its lofty pedestal. Taoere is every reason to velleve that among the ine dictments presented are to be found some agalust the members of the Ring, especially the Board of Public Works. The necessity for obtaining legal assistance for the District Attor- ney becomes more apparent every day, and the | presence of tne Attorney General f hereacgs: | conirms the opinion that the State is engaged in earaess. in thelr holy work of bringing unscrupulous thieves to jusiice. This Grand Jury nas been longer in session and has found more indictmencs than any other Grand Jury of the county, and it is quite posstbie that it may call for an extension the unprecedented long term of six weeks. .
