THK0PKIIIO XKRCISK A PRAISK 9CKKTINO CHCKCH DiOMTARIKS PRESENT BIsHOPS AND 8HOKETARIBS PRAYERS AND AD DBKSHK- SONG IN HINDOOfTANKK OMTA DsaiNNiya. The first meeting of the anniversary of the MUaionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was held at Roberts Park last ciarht. For nie reason Bishop Bjwman, who was expected to preside, wai not present. The Rev. ' Dr. W. H. Goode, f Indiana, occapiod the chair. The service began by alnglDK a hymn, "From all that dwell below the sklea," which waa followed by a prayer offered fey the Kev. Dr. Andrus, ot Eransvllle. Scripture was r6ad by tbe presidio; officer, another hymn waa sung and the meeting was ready ior business. Upon the platform were several men of eminence In the church and wide ce'ebrity. Foremost anions: these waa the genial Bishop Harris, wbo is just now j ESPECIALLY CONSPICUOUS, because of h'.s successful journey round the world on a tour of Episcopal visitation to ill the prominent miwion fields of the cbarcb. IIa waa once the missionary secretary, one of the highest offices in the gift of the Methodist church. In that caEaclty be became well and widely nown over all this country. The biabop w always remarkable lor a spirit of hearty Rod humor, which seemed to be contagious whenever he appeared In publle. This quality still appears, but the fine, dark hair of the farmer days is now silvered with age and toll, deepite bla merry nature. Both Dr. Dashielland Dr. John M. Reid,the present mieelona.yy secretaries, were on hand. Besides those mentioned there were tbe Bevs. Parkhnrat and Spancer, who, also, describe miaslenary operations In ragan lands, from Ersooal observation; the Kev. N. L. rakerman, Dr. Edwards, editor of the North weal ern Christian Advocate at Chicago, and througbout tbe audience were preachers ot note irom abroad and resident in this city. Others are to come. Bishops Foster and Bowman will be hereto-day, and many other If adlrg lights ot the pulpit. : The chairman, Dr. Goode, expressed bis pleasure In meeting so many on this important occasion. lie was lad that no fixed programme bad been laid down, and thought that the meeting would be carried on in an easy and spontaoeoua manner. lie would firBt call on Bishop Harris for a short address, bishop Harris's remarks. He said he was willing to begin and break the ice it the others would only got in afterwards. He had been for many years deeply interested in the missionary work of thechurob, and for a great part of bis lile had made It a aubjct of special attention. It grows upon me, eaid the bishop. It is said that familiarity breeds contempt, but such is not my experience in this noble missionary work of the church. Every day brings it nearer to my affections, my conti dence and my heart. More and more I find it an occasion for gratitude to God that tto missionary work is doing to much and bo much good. If I were to speak ot the causes lor praise at this meeting, I would mention the Influence of tbe um&ionary work on the churob at home, its reflex influence in which the principle that action and reaction are equal la exemplified, and I some times think ttat the reaction is equal to tbe action and a littlo more so. lie would mention but two or three points: 1, Henoted the col tan t and steady growth ot tbo missionary spirit in tbe church. Never were the cougrejiationa so large to listen to tbe accounts of the work. Never was there a time when so much published information waa desired. Never was tnere less unfavorable criticism. Never before did the church pray more devoutedly and earnestly. All these things indicate 'tbe missionary spirit of the eburcb. 2. Tbere never was a time when there was a greater readiness on the part ot young men and women to engage in the missionary work. A long list ol names is held in reeorve in New York ot those waitiug to go, men called to preach, lull of faith and tbe Holy Ghost. Tbls springs out of tbe missionary work. 5. The financial affairs ot tbe country have not been tbe Lea:, and the board had not dared to hope tor an Increase of contributions ; they bad only hoped not to be overthrown.' But he rejoiced that we have maintained our contributions to a better degree tban any other organization. lie supposed it waa uoi ;n obdcr to orrxa ant reproaches as it was a private meeting. But while he thanked God lor what bad been dooe. be wished it not to be understood that be considered that tbe church bad done all she could or should have done. Yet be did not wish any to feel that we are pn tbe downgrade. We are going on and on till Jtbe whole world shall be converted to Go j. When we step out of this country tbere are reasons lor giatitude. No missionaries have died withiu the last year, but all are well and cheerful, happy in their work and succeselul in their fields ol labor. I venture to awert that the harvest of souls gathered into tbe garner of God is greater tban the harvest at home during tbe last year, in ' proportion to tbe investment that is made in each. The increase is In as great ratio in the missionary field as here, and tr is I regard as a reason for gratitude that the gospel is the power of God. I do not believe In measuring by tbe results ot to-day. It is lor ns to do our duty and Christ w ill take tbe responsibility; but it la cheering that our labor has not been in vain in the Lord. I expect to have missionaries iu our fields by tbe thousands where they are now counted by the hundreds. A ong.l "Glorious things of Thee are spoken," was then introduced. dr. dashjbl, the missionary's secretary, then spoke. lie thought it was unnecessary to break the ice as there was no ice to be broken. It was the best "send ofT' of any meeting be had attended for a y6ar, but if any Ice was to be broken, where Bishop Harris could get through the rest would be able to follow, but in tbls missionary work it was Lard to fol.'ow the doctor, for be bad given it a study of life, and had visited and examined ail th field of missionary work, lie had t-n aked why they wont away out V7 sL to Indianapolis to bold this 0.09tiog. Um toll tbun that it was because the people believd in the mitsiooary society. On caure ot ibar, ksiving , which be would DCtloe 14 that the peoplo have a desire for information in rxrii to tbe missionary work. '1 gr a: t tr.ingof tbe church was to have fici.'iti tor sending missionary Iuformatio to t be ip)e. Tte bishops had helped ry ih-ir circular letter last year, ami re considered that' much ol the ri:ct"- in collections waa due to tbit letter. A second cauto

for praise waa that tbe church bad com to

a fuller appreciation of the needs of the work, and the consecration of their sub stance to It. Tbere were more hearts tban ever consecrated to this work, and an in creasing numberof those, wbo loved to live because they lived to blees the Lord, whose lives were GREAT MEROT SKATS IN THIS WORLD over which no cloud rests. A third cause ot thanksgiving was that In the field where least bad been expected, there were Indications of triumph. This was a cause ot thanks. He referred to the progress of missionary work among the Latin race, where formerly success had been indifferent, and tbe South American mission, we were told that It was a iailuro and that it was best to abandon- the field ; but now there are indications that in South America we are about to achieve a great success. Then we ventured into Italy and we were told tbe frame thing, that we would fail. Bishop Harris himself had had but little faith in Italy, but when he visited the mission tbere he became suddenly converted, and was convinced that no place was fuller of promise tban Italy. He made similar remarks in re gard to Mexico. The success in these three misoions we regard a a special cause lor praito and ibauksgiving. It shows THE POWER OF CHRISTI ANITT to overcome the Influence of Romanism. One other cause of gratitude be would mention. He had been tbanklul that God had put It into the heart of the Episcopacy and the authority of the church . to aend Bishop Harris on a voyage around the world, that be could return and give an account ol all the missionary work. Dr. Bay Its remarked that there were three present who had been around the world. , Brother Rpencor was preeent . and asaed . to sing a Bong . in the native tongue of the Christians in Hindoo. Mr. Spencer sang a song in Ilindoostanee and also the eong of the Ninety and Nine. COU JOHN VT, HAT was called upon. He said he wai thanklul for a greit many things, and one waa that he Bometlmes got control of a certain stingy old Methodist, John W. Ray, and made him give of hia meana to the missionary cause.' I think I have lived it years more than Methuselah did in hia whole life time. I am amazed that I live in a country that bas auch a spiritual power, and with tbe promise being fulfilled that every knee shall bow and everv tongue confess that Jesus la the Christ." The boys in the streets are whlatliog Zion'a tunes. A lawyer came into his office; he made no pro fession of religion but was einging one of the old Methodist tnnea that hia mother sang, lie waa giaa tnat tna convention naa come to this puce; he hoped it would be ol more benefit to us than it would be to them. I am amazed, that with all the power that we have, tbe means that we bave. that tbe church is ao reluctant to do her duty. The secretaries should not have to plead for money. It la a disgrace. They ought never to be called upon, but we should fill their hands. He hoped for a better record here. He thanked God for bard times, for when we bave monoy enough we dldn t feel that It waa any bur den to ive. it was benenoent to make a tauriflce in giving. DR. REID, tbe missionary's secretary, was called upon. He stated that be was gla d they had a clear night. Twelve years ago, during the missionary anniversary here, there wai a great storm which prevented manj from coming out. Dr. Harri said; "I know that, for I was there," It came to bis mind as be tramped through tbe snow rt Columbus, Ohio, last night, and found tbere a lull bouse, that tbore was a deep interest in the church in this holy cause. He recalled an incident in 1806, when at Columbus, Ohio, Bishop Klngsley waa present, and tbere spoke with unusual power. When he stood tbere in tbe same place last night be thought of that time, and of Bishop Kingsley, who fell midway in his voyage around tbe world, which Bishop Harris bad been able to accomplish, and Broth ers Parkburst and upenoer were also present, who bave been tbemselves to look at our misaions in foreign lands. He h;'d all the time been occupied with Christmas thought. He thanked God for his sin, that He gave Him for man, and for the gospel ot his sin, that it was a portable gospel, and willke9pin any climate. He reterred to the mission in FooChan, that he read from the. figures, and the figures tbemselrea showed that with the church and 1,200 members, during tbe past year 230 adults bad been bap tized and ISO infants. Take tbe came number at home and where could they show such bucccsj. He also referred to the auecesa ot the mission In Japan. The REV. MR. PARKHURST said that he bad enjoyed a good time. Tbe cause of thanksgiving which be desired to mention was that among the converts in foreign lands be lound tbere were reil Methodists; that these converts toldtbeir experience in the same language and with the eame expressions of Christians in this land. He bad talked with a native Chinaman who bad been converted, and Lad taken down his description of his conversion and he found it to be tbe same, and expressed In tto same language that converts use in a Christian land. He further stated that these foreign Christians bave tbe same Methodist ideas of discipline, and referred to a visit to tbe bouse of a convert where be saw a paper pastrd on tbe wall which he asked a friend to read, and be lound that it waa a list of tbe members Ot the class, and that all the members attended the class-meeting. They were poor heathen and hadn't learned better tban to attend class-meeting yet. The speaker made an interesting argument to show that to-day tbe worid la ruled by the gospel, that tbe predominant nations of the earth are those wbo recognize the principles of the gospel, and that through their influence tbe missionary and tbe Christian are safe to travel in all lands on account of tbe protection of Christian nations.

LOUIS, COFKaSKS AND EXPLAINS HIS CONNECTION WITH IHK WHI8KT RING SATING IT GREW OUT OF ORDERS FROM HEADQUARTERS TO RAISE CAMPAIGN FUND. The St. Louis special to the Chicago Timps of yesterday savt: Tbe former collector of Internal revenue in tbe second district ol Missouri, comprising several counties in tbe southeastern part of tbe state, was Lindsay Murdock, of Marble HiiL Murdock was on terms of thorough understanding with McDonaM and Joyce, and well into the socrets of the ring. In the mountainous and set tied parts oi Murdock's district there was always more or less illicit distilling going on, similar to tbat in tbe mountainous dis trict of West TfiBnessee. Periodically, in or der to make a grand show of efficiency, McDonald and Joyoe would make a raid down Into Southeast Mlsionrl, capture three or four ten-gallon stills in out of-the way places and then rest on their laurels, in June, 1873. Murdock, Irom motives of remorse or itar of ultimate exposure, came to St. Louis and wrote out a lull account of all be knew respecting the whisky frauds being per petrated in Missouri. This account was sworn to before a Judge and acknowledged before wltnee;s. Three copies were made of tbe document, and each copy sworn and certifitd to. They were mailed separ ately one copy to Fi evident Grant, one copy to Col. O. K. Babcock, and one copy to the then Secretary Richardson. The fact that these were thus addressed and mailed was attcated by three witnesses. Not a word ever came from Washington in re sponse. Tbe document contained A FDLI. BTATKMKNT OF WHAT WAS GOtNG ON here, a worn to by a collector ot Internal revenue. Murdock was Boon afterward re moved from office. Last summer, when the grand jury were first investigating tbe whisky frauds, Murdock came up to the city, and would probably have gone before that body and testified as to what he knew. Soon alter his arrival, however, he went, by appointment, to tbe Planters' House to meet Joyce aad McDonald He was shown up to a room, and as soon as he entered the door was locked. Without any ceremony McDonald and Joyce denounced him, and gave him a most unmercilul thrashing. When he got out ol the room be waa covered with blood, and bis face was peeled and a mass or contusions, without wait ing to prefer charges of assault or to make his revelationa of what he knew of wbiaky frauds, Murdock got out ot town and has hardly ventured here since. The fact of the transmission ot tbe documentary evidence to these three Washington parties is attested cow by tbo Judge before whom tbo oath was taken and one of tbe witnesses. Nothing was taid of this matter till alter tbe recent trouble with Uendorson, and tbe possibility of the implication of Grant, when those facts, with others, were brouabt to tbe at tention of the government officials. M'DONALD CONFESSES. The most startling Information tbat bag been developed from the " crooked whisky" business, ot late, comes from General John McDonald, the convicted criminal, who is now In jail awaiting aenlonce. it bas not even been whispered abroad in this city, but when it Is promulgated it will create a sen sation second to none in tbe history of all this dark business. Just how it was obtained must remain a mystery for the present. Suffice) it to say, that a prominent and in every respect reliable gentleman called on General McDonald to-day and had a long interview, and that "walls bave ears." During tbe conversation Uen. McDonald conlessed to him his complicity with the so-called whisky ring, but claimed as a matter oi abstract justice be waa Innocent. He explained tbat the inception of the scheme resulted from "oraers from headquarters" to raise a fund for campaign pur posts. At first he was loth to enter into lit, but at length considered It in the nature of an order, and endeavored to carry it out. Tbo money was raised and regularly applied to the purpose for which it was Intended. Alter the machinery ' bad boen prepared and set in motion, the eaee with which it manufactured wealth to subserve political ends induced tbe engineers to apply its workings to their own personal aggrandisement, and the application was quite generally made. Thus it waa that they all got into it, and were SWEPT ALONO ON THE FULL TIDE OF PROSPERITY for years. Gen. McDonald stated tbat Avery was Innocent ol tbe alleged offense for which he bas been convicted. He said he could have made a fortune out of the ring If he had consented to co-operate with it, but tbat he bad made nothing, and although a man of good habits, and economical, bas not to-day enough money to pay bis lawyers' tees. The immured general asserted that tbe notes and telearams att flouted to Col. BacMik were bona fide, but he positively asserted that none of thorn pertained to the wbUky puslneas. His explanation was, tbat during tbe late Collector Ford's administration, a womaa employed in his office was authorized to act aa his deputy; tbat considerable controversy sprang out of this arrangement, and tbat Babcock'a enigmatical notes ana telegrams all had reference to tbls woman and tbe official position she occupied. Those who bave the best opportunities of knowing tbe secrets of the ring, do not hesitate to declare that the late Collector Ford was, toward tbe last, inveigled into the nne, and that his sudden death waa the direct result of hia mortification and shame. It ia aald that McKee, of the Globe-Democrat, was directly rci ponslble for the implication of Ford; tbat McKee had long had knowledge of tbe existenoe of the ring, and been clamorous for admission, but bad been shoved aside. 1 At last he waa Informed that, he could be admitted to membership on one condition, viz.: tbat he induce Ford to participate in the steal, or to connive at it. Tbe tatk was undertaken, accomplished with great difficulty, and McKee was rewarded according to promise. Immediately thereafter tbe Globe becam lavish in its expenditures, and in the course of time McKee purchased over $500,000 worth ot property. A terrible runaway Accident occurred near McCook, Dakota, eight miles west of Sioux City, on Tuesday, by which three men were seriously injured, none of them escaping without some bones brokeD, and one man waa hurt s badly about the head that tbe doctnis aay he i aa not recover. Hia name isCady, a Scotchman, who bas lor many years led the life of a hermit, hia only habitation being a bole dag in the ground, far distant from any neighbor.

Editorial Correspondente of the 8em'ioeI-l On Board a Steamer on ihi Uhk", Dec. 13, 1S75. A representative of the Sentinel, weeding bis way upon a little steamer up tbe Ohio, restlessly gnawed the end of a pen cil, with the ruling passion rather predominant, and cast. about . him for some topic upon which Le might indulge bis propensity to write, and tin ally fell upon the idea tbat it would be a good tbing to interview a fwrmer or two upon tbe tobacco crops ol Kentucky. Macon and Bracken counties are famous . lor the quality of tobacco grown upon their rocky billfid ts, and It is i wonderful what rich mines of wraith are cont&iLci on the shallow mir 'a?e of these hills, the like ot wbicb in Indiana would be deemed entirely worthless, laking advantage ot a lull in tbe conversation ol a couple of gentlemen, the modest representative of the Sentinel suggested tbat fathered tobacco fields indicated tbat tbere whs likely a good crop this season. ' Kentucky gentlemca are alwavs polite and affable, and it was not long before all tbe facta touching tbe liebt leaf, tbe heavy tobacco and all tbe varieties were dis posed ol safely ia tbe barn; also, the amount proDaDiy iross Ditten. and tbe pro table price next spring, and where the best market would be lor Mason county leaf. CROOKED WHISKY IN THB MOUNTAINS. It incidentally cropped out tbat our interviewed was a cltiz9n of Bracken atd was fust returning from Covington, where he had been serving as a United States grand Juror, where he had been summoned by tbe court to look Into the aubject or crooked whisky in tbe northern mountainous districts of Kentucky. Tbe Interviewer had heard ot such things in tbe papers, and was really anxious to know if tbe same sort of crookedness was going on away up in the mountain diatricts,where the people never go away from home more than once in a life time and where they still vote lor Mr. Clay, and nave their periodical gatherings on Saturdays for shooting matcbei, where Daniel Booue shot his first, thirtieth or three hundred and fifty-second bear. Il was but a abort time betöre tbe whole story waa narrated. The grand jurv waa in lesaion a week, and forty indictments or mor 4 were found. The district attorney, Wharton, by name, if my memory aervea me, from louisvlllc, does not fancy tbat other district attorneys all over tbe country should be reaping all the glory, and be lie supinely upon his back. in the very region where whiskv had Its origin, where whisky "as is wbUky," Is still made. So he determined to bring things to a focus, and threw out a drag net, by marshal and deputy, and the result was tbat bo got on the track ol a decidedly rich thing, that will GIVK THE COURT OCCUPATION eight or ten months at least, and if tbe gov ernment carries out tbe prosecutions, it will require a larger force of men to execute tbe lawa than ever Victor Emanuel employed in ferreting out the briganda of Italy. In diclments were lound against parties all over the district. But tbe Sentinel repre sentatlve was more deeply interested in a single county the county of Letcher, away up the other side oi nowhere, it naa long boon suspected mat an tne corn and rye grown up there was not led to the hogs nor made into Kentucky hoe-cake. But there could never ne iouna a marshal who was willing to venture np into that re gion to Inquire into tbe facts. They bave up tbere iquirrel guns and such thlnga. They don't crack loud, but when one goes off the bullet lodges in something alive every time. Fortunately for tbe district attorney he caught a fellow wbo bad moved away from tbere after be had been Ku-Kluxed five or six times, and he was brought down to Covington and put upon the witness stand. He was cbary of speech, and kept looking over bis shoulder every time be would tell anything, and scanned everybody ai if measuring tbe possibility of their being a Ku-Kluxer irom that region hearing him. But tbe truth came to the surface whisky waa made In Letcher county. He knew of one man wbo made it on Jones creek. The laots all came out. His still was back of tbe kitchen; be made at least fifteen or twenty gallons a month, of the genuine stuff, without leave or license from the government. But tbe witness waa pressed closer, and he knew of another man who did likewise and still another, and so THE TRUE INWARDNESS OF IT WA8 REACHED, and it was discovered that seventeen stills in Letcher county, within a region of fifteen miles, were making whisky. They did not run it off on railroads with false invoices as coal oil or lime. Ttaej did not send it to some rascally rectifier to spoil, but they kept it at borne to peddle ahd drink. Thus ever since the taxing of whisky-making wa? thought of, and years before,!these private distilleries for home consumption bave cone on with none to molest . or make them afraid. Ihey have beard up there of Grant and Bristow, and It bas somehow got abroad among tbem tbat a license is necessary but t does not disturb them in the least, ine district attorney bas real mountain trout on his books, but he will have a happy time in getting the delinquents Into his dutches. One can well Imagine what the i evidence would be it it were possible to get the distillers and their customers into court. There would be no reading of cypher dispatcher no feeing of rascally gangers ana inspectors It would rather be alter tbls fashion: "Bill Mason male the stuff reaular every winter, and peddled it out by tbe Jug full hlsseif; I got two quarts every Saturday myseii; l traasa nve kqairrela and two coon kins a many time for a half gallon, audit was good licker too, and ust lemme say, u anybody oomes loounround about Bill Mason . . THE DEVIL WILL BE TO PAY. A school teacher was talking something about tbat ar once and be hain't been beard of since.' The district attorney wont interfere with Letcher county crooked whisky. fa marshal was heard of within fifty miles of Jones creek, tbere would be a thousand new bullets moulded at once, and a straDger that happened around there would be sure to disappear De lore asyngnt. not tue in dictments are all ready. Tbe facta were too plain for thelurv to overlook, seventeen stills in Letcher county hold out against tbe beet govemmf nment tbe sun ever anone upon, and tbat. too. In Brlstow's own sta e. "Let no goilty man escape" disturbs tbem not. ibe brigade from t. Louis may wend tbeir way to Jefferson City. Even Bahcockmay be torn Irom the fellnwhip ot Ulysses, and the cottage at Lone Branch know him no more forever. Tbe McGuirea and McDonalds, tbe Bioebams and Hills may yield to the strongarm of tbe govern ment. bat Letcber county wilt stand out. reeolute In tbe maintenanceof county rights and neiahborbood whisky, long after Grant ahall have retired to tbe St. Louis faim.
