WAsurrioxort, March 17.—Efon. Wm. A.. Graham, Senator elect from North Carolina, publishes a statement, from which it ap pears that, in January, he addressed a letter to Senator Fessenden, suggesting that it --would be but justice to . permit the dele &lion elected from each State to be present, at the reception of all evidence touching such a State or any of its members before the Committee'on Recon struction, with =the priveligei of cross-ex . =Dining witnesses, =idol introducing other evidence if they ehall deem it proper—to which Senator Fessenden replied: Dear tifir—lt is not'customary to allow a cross-examination of witnesses before a committee appointed to report on a sub ject not involvmg individuals. The committee is supposed to be desirous to ascertain the truth, and capable of mak ing all the examinations . necessary. The committee'is quite willing however to ex . amine any witnesses who may be produced, having a knowledge of the subject matter, to any reasonable extent. The credentials of gentlemen claiming to be Senators have not been referxed to this committee; there is no probability that they will be. Mr. Graham subsequently replied—My sole purpose is to aid the committee, so far as tb State is concerned, in ascertaining 'the truth, and to guard• against ex-parte tes timony from unknown or 'irresponsible sources. If, therefore, the committee will at any time furnish notice of the points in which evidence is desired, or prejudicial testimony which it is necessary to meet, my colleagues and myself will gladly avail ourselves of its permission to offer such re levant proof as may be in our power.

Hari;`was announced as follows: The Court find the wrong complained of corrected,.and agree to the passage of his character. The recoxrunendations from the churches of Local Preachers to be elected to Dea- cons' orders were taken up, and the follow ing, after being considered, were elected to be ordeineci Local Deacons in the church. G. H. Bickley, J. M. Goldey, Purdy D. Barnhart, J. Parrish, H. White. F. Brady, 3-. R. Dickroy. F. Minzer, A. McDowell, A. Black, F. M. Chatham, W. R. McFarlane, W. H. C. Long, D.. R. Wright, and J. Miller. The following Local Deacons were elected to - Local Elders' orders: J. W. McGill, G. W. Unkle, S. Webb, H. H. Davis, P. .Hoffman, R. S. McWilliams. The case of young men who hive been on trial in• the Conference for two years, was then taken up. They are now eligible to membership in the' Conferunce, and to be invested with Deacon's orders. They were called before the altar' to be examined by the Bishop, not in referenc,e to their literary or scientific attainments, but as touching their internal experience and convictions as to their Divine call to the work of the sacred office. The solemnity of their present position was impressed upon them by the Bishop, who reminded them of the awful responsibility of their vows, which are binding in force as long as they live. He referred to the large number in this country of various churches, who once took upon them the vows that they were now about to take, and had departed from the sacred office. In contradistinc tion fromthis he instanced the British Wesleyan Ministry. The late - Rev. Dr. Newton' when in this country years ago was asked if ministers in that country fre quently retired from the work of the ministry. To this interrogatory the Dr. replied that in forty-one years he hid known of but two. One of these voluntarily retired from the ministry, fell into sin, and died without hope; the other returned after a time, made a full confession with tears', and was re stored. The Bishop expressed deep regret that the same could not be said of the ministry in this country. • The peculiarities of the Methodist Minis try were then dwelt upon. The Bishop stated that, without any disposition to un 'denote other systems, the Methodist had no risk from a comparison with them. No Methodist Church is without a Pastor, and no minister, who desires it, is without a Pastoral charge. In New England it had been said that there were four •hnndred churches (not Methodist) without any Pastor. In connection with this it was a singular fact that there were 400 preachers without pastoral charge. Certainly there must be in such a system a lack of practical wisdom. The Bishop reminded them of the wisdom' of always making the best of-every appoint ment, and doing all the good they can in alit cases, whether they were perfectly satisfied with the charge, or the charge with them, or otherwhise. The questions framed by the founder of Methodism were then pre sented to the class by the Bishop, and re sponded to in a distinct tone of voice. Very apt and impressive remarks were mede in reference to each question by the Bishop. Upon the subject of "Holiness," and the mode of preaching, "not too long or too loud," and - the other practical and most im portant duties of the ministry, the Bishop was very happy and pointed. During this service the vast audience lis tened with breathless attention. The fol lowing were then admitted into the Confer ence and elected to Deacon's orders, after being reported upon by the Committee of Examination and Presiding Elden Wm. P. Howell, Jos. R. T.Gray, Leoni das Dobson, Charles W. Biley, Jacob S. Hughes, James F. McClelland, Samuel A. Renner, Henry F. Isett,Edward P. Aldred; Wilmer Coffman, Benjamin T. String, Jno. Stringer and Thos. E. Martindale. Albert Jump was continued on trial at his own reque s t. Pending this question the Rev. Bishops James, Simpson and Thomson entered the house and were presented to the confer ence, the body rising. Rev. W. Trickett was pieced neon the an pernumary liat, on account of failing health. The Centenary Committee reported an order of exercises for Monday next, in St. George's church, at 10i, sermon by Rev. Dr. ' Castle, and in the evening a public meeting to be addressed by the Rev. Drs. Durbin, Monroe, Moore and Rev. J. W. Jackson. The chair to , be occupied by the preSiding Bishop. The report was adopted.

This may be used, as heretofore, in the purchase of additional paid•up Lugar:nee, or towards the payment of premiums during the current year, at the option of the Assured. In view of the probabilities of an epidemic in the cenntry during the coming season, it was deemed prudent to retain the balance of the surplus, amounting to over ftOO,OOZ4 as a special contingent fund.

So that a policy-holder, by applying . his dividends to the payment of future premiums, not only avoids all further outlay, but his policy annually increases in amount. The dividends on policies.of a more recent date, including those issued last year, may be applied in like man ner to the fall extent of their accumulations. Insurers who does not thus apply their dividends, have the fall benefit of the large additions to their policies, as shown In the above table, and may, at any future period, use such portions of their dividends in the pay ment of any one or more premiums, as they may desire.

All of the above policies have been paid to the ormers,and it will be seen that they receive a SUBPLIZIS above all they have paid to the Coinpaay, with compound interest at six per cent., and no charge whatever for pewee or cost of Insurance meanwhile. It will be noticed as a peculiarity of our system, that, while the dividends are moderate at the beginning;na , all dividends must be which are declared upon just and equitable principles, yet they rapidly increase each. year as the policy grows older, so that eventually the insurance becomes paid op in full.
