tic 1 ccausq its party isn't so badly beaten as lal in the city elections this year.—• Hen- is some of its charming rhetoric:

Lvansville led off in Indiana. Indianapolis followed in a way that is an improvement upon its usual sluggard style. Tone Haute spoke ont nobly, Madison thundered, Columbus reverbrated and Pen: echoed!

Glory to God! White men rule in Indiana. White men will rule in American."

And yet the author of that stuff is the gentleman who a few weeks ago, wrote a fawning letter inviting Fred. Douglas and his friends to accept his hospitalities!.

Tijk following note which was accidentally omitted from our telegraphic news yesterday, was dropped. on Tuesday, from a balloon high in the air, moving in a southeasterly direction, near Montpelier, Blackford county. It was fastened to a loose piece of wood and iron weighing about one and a half pounds:

Sailed from Toronto, April 2Sth, for New York. Met with adverse winds, and bv a sudden movement of the balloon Mr. Lagrange was thrown out, I suppose, as near as I could determine, over the southern part of Michigan. Not knowing how to manage the ship, it has been tossed to and fro in all directions since he fell out. I am alone and no earthly power can save iuc. I drop these lines, hoping some human will hnd them and communicate to my parents the tidings of my melnncholy fate. To heaven I commit my soul. Please send them this note. Address Ralph Lawrence, Upper Canoda. [Su-ned] Bertha Lawrence."

The matter has a fishy" look.

The responsible editor of the rooster department of the Journal crows lustily over the city elections held, in this State on Tuesday. If he will make a careful survey of the field, he will not find much cause fbGfexcesiiite hilarity. But the fact is, Democracy is so used to being whipped, £hat anything less than ja thorough trashing seems like a "Democratic victory."

Rays the'Jiay'-etiraptured editor of the La'ayette Journal: "What a delicious choir sings in God's temple during the priesthood of May. How ring the fields aod woods, this lovely month, with glad sounds. We should not like to trust the best and holiest things we have on earth to that man or that woipan upon whose cars the cooing ot' dares, the songs of robins, the bleating of sheep, the lowing of cows, and even the cawing of crows, fall unheard or in harsh discordance."

GREEWCASTE.E."

The city election came off on Tuesday, as per statute, resulting in the election of the Republican ticket, witlFthe exception of two Councilmen in the first ward ryV stratagem to ity ^government.

They, however, found the peoj|l« little uy of this chaff. The late Mayor was elected on a retrenchment ticket but, soon after entering his office, managed to get his compensation nearly doubled, out of the city coffers. Seeing the apathy of the people to lay hold of their flimsey bait, they came ont on Saturday evening with a second circular, signed by the hungry candidates, pleging themselves, if elected, not to levy more than twenty-five cents tax, on the hundred dollars valuation, for' city parjjoses*-

Withi the more

thoughtful, this wis promising a little too much, for it was easy to be seen that such a tax, after paying the extremely moderate wages for which the hungry candidates were willing to work, would leave nothing in the treasury, either for city improvements, or carrying on the public schools. Many of the less informed, however, were deceived by this» last dodge, and voted the Democratic ticket. Then, to cap all, on Monday night they got up a fusion ticket, with which they expected to cancel a goodly number of Republican votes the Democracy of course always voting their straight ticket. But they were unfortunate in their selection o? candidates lor when the ticket made its appearance, on Tuesday morning, they nearly all repudiated it, so that very few were cast.

Graham was about to examine the witness further in this strain, but the Recorder ruled it inadmissible.

Graham was about to examine the witness on the meeting of McFarland and Richardson in the Astor House, which Browne testified to yesterday. Some argument was had as to the admissibility of this evidence, which was intended to prove that McFarland merely went in there on business, to serve a summons on Richardson,

Much argument arose in regard to the admissibility of this testimony, Mr. Graham arguing it was right that Richardson's sentiments towards the prisoner should be made known to the jury._

Mr. Gerry then submitted "bn November 21, 1859. It commenced— "My Darling Husband," and acknowledged receipt of McFarland's letter and twenty dollars, and states how she will dispose of the sum.

MeIcphis, May#5.—General Oonfe^enoe of the Methodkt Episcopal Church, Conference wm called to order nromptly at 9 o'clock by Bishop Paine of Mississippi. After the usual religious exercises and praver by Bishop Andrews, of Ga., and reading of the miu utev Bishop Pierce, of Ga., took the qhair. Roll was called and all the Bull-

Sooth, 2d daj.

The standing commitees were tlieh announced. A message was received from Bishop Early, stating he hoped to be with the Conference before its adjournment.

Special committees were appointed on Orphans Homes, revised Hymn book and Finance.

The address of the Bishops was then read by Bishop Wightman. The address, after counselling moderation in the deliberations in the conference, pays an doll en tribute to the memory of Bishop Jale. deceased says despite poverty and peraefctitioa even to strife and death Jn some portions of the country, the ministers have been faithful to their vows the church has steadilv advanced refers to. the introduction of laymen in Confidences refers at length to the baneful effects of fiafhionahle and worldly pleasures contrasts the condoct of the present generation with the past in this respect.urges ministers to urge upon their charges the necessity of family worship sets forth that the number ot young men offering for the ministry is wholly inadequate to the demands of the church urges steps to be taken to remedy this also improve the literature and publications of the church, and that efforts be made to improve the religious condition bf colored people, who, despite treacherous teachings of those who had sought to array them against us, have steadily succeedsd, and are now progressing^ especially in the Garolinas, Georgia and Florida.

The address was brief and pointed, and was listened to very attentively.— The address was responded to by the venerable Dr. Pierce, of Georgia, father of Bishop Pierce, who showed that the spiritual condition of the church, a great work to be accomplished was paramount. To this end he favored the nnion of the early Wesley an Societies. The Bishops address was then referred to appropriate committee. -j* Mtwt law?# aiit. ai •m W IiOUlSVIIJLE*
