From Washington.
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.

The finding of the Court of Inqtury in the
case of Rev. H. F. 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,

SIIIIPLDS OVER ALL TI TUT ITLES--
The TOTAL SURPLUS, as above, being $4,194,038, a Dividend was declared on Feb
ruary Ist, amounting to
To be distributed among the Policy Holders in equitable proportions. 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. Bhonld this ex
traordinary reserve be found unnecessary, the sum so retained will be divided among those Pol icy Holders to
whom it belongs, at a future division.
Dividends are made ANNITA_LLY, and the Assured can always use such Dividends to reduce their next an
nual premium.
The Company recognizes the principle that AMPLE SECURITY is a paramount consideration in Life
ranee, and neither in form or amount will any dividend be declared incompatible with that principle.
In addition to the proper reserve for reinsurance of outstanding risks, there still remains an undivided snr
phut of ;lawn

In reduction of premiums; or on "paid-up" policies they may be drawn in CASH on the date of each policy in

*The annual dividends on these policies exceed the annual premiums. 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.
