The New England Manufactures*’ Con
vention will assemble at Worcester Mass,
to-day. Maine sends a numerous delegation
and a very strong one, representing the more
important branches ot our manufacturing in
dustry. It is true that the purposes the con
vention has in view have been in >ome sense
anticipated. The current of public opinion is
all one way. Senator Morrill of Vermont
proposes that only 8300,000,000 of revenue "hall
he raised from all sources; and as the tariff
which there is no serious lalk of modifying, is
sure to yield Lall, at least, of that sum, his
proposition is to raise only 8150,000,000 from
the interual revenue, thus relieving produc
tive industry of the burdens now resting upon
it. Even Commissioner Wells, who insists
that 850,000,000 shaft be paid annually on the
national debt, would look to internal revenue
aources for only $170,000,000—nearly a hundrid
millions less than last year. But the decisive
action of the House committee of ways and
means is the fact which should at once restore
confidence to our manufacturers. That com
mittee has adopted as the basis of Its delibera
tions in framing a new revenue law Ihe prin
ciple that only 8150.000,000 shall be raised from
internal taxation, and that the whole srtv
shall be levied upon luxuries and the earnings
of capital. The question of relieving manu
facturers from oppressive taxation may, there
fore, be considered as practically settled. But
though one of the leading subjects beforc.the
late national convention at Cleveland has al
most ceased to be a matter for discussion, yet
there are others so important that they can
hardly be called secondary which will claim
the attention of the delegates. Methods of
evading the collection of taxes have been de
vised with so much ingenuity by persons who
would otherwise pay the greater part of the
revenue, that it is ot great .importance that'
equally ingenious methods of enforcing collec
tion should be invented. The system of ap
pointments to revenue offices also needs thor
ough revision. In one respect New England
sentiment is opposed to the conclusions reach
ed by the Cleveland Convention—the post
ponement of small annual payments of the na
tional dobt. On this point tho Commercial
Bulletin, a souud financial authority, says:
We trust our friends at Worcester will not
endorse the proposition to indefinitely post
pone the payment of.tlie public debt, or rath
er, to make no provision for its further imme
diate reduction. Such a procrastinating poli
cy would, of course, be deeply injurious to the
public credit, and wc do not wonder that some
of our New England delegates at Cleveland
declined to affix their signatures to the memo
rial which recommended it. While we believe
the popular mind is in favor of rigid economy
in the administration of government, and the
cutting off of all superfluous expenses, we do
not believe that it is in favor of making the
national debt a permanent institution, or of
cutting down taxes to a point which will pre
vent its further constant reduction.
11k. Hubbard, Republican member of Con
gress from West Virginia is, we say It not pro
ianely, a brick. His ideas of retrenchment arc
original and startling. He believes that re
trenchment, like charity, should begin at
home, and proposes, therefore, that the great
work ot saving the public funds should be com
menced by taking off one thousand dollars
from the annual salary of himself and his
brother members,aud by cutting down the mile
age (“swindle,” as an exchange habitually calls
It,) from 20 to 10 cents a mile. In the matter
of salary alone this would insure an annual
saving of nearly three hundred thonsand dol
lars, as Congress Is at present constituted.
How much the reduction in mileage would
save, Heaven only knows, tinder the present
law, new members draw mileage for each of
the throe regular sessions during the term for
which they are elected, while old members
draw for two. Having a strong conviction
that the p-otestatious of Democratic politicians
with regard to economy and retrenchment
come from the very bottoms of their hearts, we
expect to see every one of their representatives
in Congress helping Mr. Hubbard pash his
bill through with the utmost vigor. Messrs.
Eldridge, Brooks, Wood and Morrissey will
hasten with cheerful alacrity to offer their
thousand dollars on the altar of patriotism. It
may be suggested by uncharitable Republicans
that it was owing chiefly to Democratic effort
and Democratic votes that the salary of Con
gressman was advanced from $3,000 to $5,000,
and that no Democrat has refused, like Ml.
Hnbbard, to draw the larger sum. But perhaps
they are penitent. We shall sood see.
The Arrest of Train.— How pleased Train
was that his European voyage had given him
lreeh notoriety at the very outset appears Irom
the following special cable dispatch which he
immediately sent to the New York World:
Have Just been arrested by the British Gov
ernment. Vt as seized on the Scotia immedi
ately upon my arrival out. Have told the
Uerby Cabinet that the American ultimatum
19 payment of the Alabama claims aud release
of American citizens, or war,
The New York papers, however do not take
a humorous view of the subject, hut talk more
belligerently than at any time since the Mason
and Slidell affair. The Tribune says that the
American people must take decided ground,
and that Sir. Train must be promptly given
up. The Post says the arrest is an outrage,
calling for immediate interposition on the
part ot our authorities. The Commercial Ad
\ertiser and the Times are equally emphatic,
While the World not only echoes their senti
ments hut gives a significant recital of the
well known Martin Roszta case, which occur
red some fifteen years ago.
A New Secret Political Societv—A New
Hampshire correspondent gfves the following
account of affairs in that State:
The license law Republicans and Democrats
do not affiliate here as they did in Massachu
setts last fall. The P. L. L.’s were oganized in
the western part of the State, and tire Demo
crate finding that the Republicans had an or
ganization similar to theirs, aud with the same
name, immediately made a change, and adopt
ed tin* title E.T., which is supposed to mean
Equal laxalion." Both are secret organiza
tions, aud are numerous-throughout the S ate.
J.heir plans are not known, but each will la
bor for party interests. The very fact that
they are secret attracts the masses, and they
are glowing in membership ani power daily.
Political Nolen.
The President is trying to get rid of John P'
ri ile, United States Minister to Spain. Mi
Hale has been notified through the State de
partment that his resignation will be accepted.
This is hard to understand. McCracken, who
viliified most of our foreign ambassadors in the
most shameful manner, heard nothing, when
listening at Mr. Hate’s key-hole, that could
give Mr. Johnson the slightest offence.
Senator Dixon expresses fear ol the Demo
crats losing the next election in Connecticut.
He say* that there are a large amount of bonds
held by wealthy Democrats ail over the State,
and that the Democratic party iu the west are
determined to commit the party to the policy
of paying the bonds in greenbacks; and on
that issue he says they will lose all hope iu the
New England States.
Next Mornlay au election will take place in
the 8th Ohio Congressional! District to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Hamil
ton, who was killed by his insane son. The
Republicans have nominated Gen. John Beat
ty, a gallant Union soldier, and the Democrats
have selected as his opponent one Barnabas
Burns.
\ allandigham’s organ, the Dayton Empire,
threatens to leave the Democratic party, that
has so ungratefully treated the great martyr.
Where will it go?
_T1? ^a?hI“*ton correspondent of the Boston
Post still insists that Forney, Secretary of the
Senate, has been guilty of fiuaneial irregular
ities in his office, and that his accounts show a
deficit.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times sums up the narrative of the in
terviews between the President and Gen. Grant
on the Stanton matter with the flowing re
mark: “The whole thing in a nutshell is just
this. The President dared not take the re
sponsility of a violation oi the tenure of office
law, nor give Gen. Grant any order involving
such gn act, yet he hoped he might be able to
seduce Gen. Grant into such a course, and
thus use him in keeping Mr. Stanton out.
without burning his own fingers. He was too
•low in acting on the suggestion of Gov. Cox’s
name, and the Senate and Stanton were too
quick tor him in their actiou. It is difllcult to
see w to s to blame for his discomfiture but
himself.

wtth Gen. Hancock. The New York Day
Book .calls him “the hangman of Mr. Sur
ratt," and the Columbus (Ohio) Crisis
•ays: “Behind this Hancock nomination is the
ghost of a murdered woman, the shadow „f
which may not be distinct, but is yet visible."
The Newburyport Herald thinks that Major
Beu. Perlcy Poor, who is “Perley” of the
Boston Journal, would make a good Repre
sentative to Congress from the district which
last year elected Gen. Butler.

We have received ^'o. 28 of the first volume
of the Republican, a weekly newspaper, pub
lished iu Athens, Tennessee, and edited by Mr.
Nelson S. Cobleigh, whom our leaders will
know better when we introduce him as our
special conespondent in Paris last summer
during the continuance of the Great Exposi
tion. Mr. Cobleigh is a New Englander of the
strictest sect, born in Boston aud educated at
Harvard, but his paper is nevertheless, while
distinctly Republican, tree from the asperity
and assumption which some of our Republi
can friends et the Kouth have though it neces
sary aud proper to put on. Mr. Cobleigh meets
his readers as a gentleman should, respecting
their opinions while claiming respect for his
own, believing that he is right aud confidently
expecting the right to prevail in good season
with a lair hearing. We wish there were more
men of the same stamp in charge of Southern
newspapers.
Wxthiv Six Himjhed Miles of thi Pole.
—An exchange gives an interesting account of
a recent exploration of the Arctic Ocean. The
violent storms of last spring and summer so
cleared the Arctic Oceau ot ice that a steam
whaler, the Arctic, of Dundee, Scotland, Capt.
Wells, sailed further north than aDy navigator
hud previously reached. On the 20th of .Tune
*ast Capt. Wells proceeded up Baffin’s Bay,
crossed the lace of the glacier of Melville Bay,
steamed away past Cary Isles and Hakluyt
Island, visited Whale Sound of Baffin, and the
subsequent scene of Dr. Kane’s adventures.
Capt. Wells tlieu finding open water to the
north crossed to the west side of Smith's
• Sound, and still, tempted by a fine open sea,
•cut Otrtill he sighted Kane’s glacier of Hum
boldt, aud must, he says, have been in tbe 79th
north parallel—considerably north of where
Capt. Shepard Osborne reached in 1850 in the
Pioneer—beyoud Iugletield in tbe Priuce Al
bert, aud beyond Katie in tbe Advance. The
bold Dundee whaler was still in open water,
aud would have continued his course north
ward had he seen a fish. There was no indi
cation of ice to the-northward, the sky blue
aud watery, and only a few streams of light ice
to be seen. This was only 060 miles from the
pole. It is very probable that, by the use of
steam, the Arctic Ocean will be thoroughly ex
plored.
Mn. Cart’s Conundrum.—Mr. Samuel F.
Cary was elected to Congress last fall lfom
the Cincinnati district in Ohio as a working
man's candidate. He used to he a uoted teni
erance reformer, but lias lately devoted him
self to the advocacy of a greenback currency.
He is called bv courtesy a Republican—thiet
ly, we suppose, on account of his obstinate re
tusal to stand on a single plank o! the Repub
lican platform. To call him so is the same
kind of paradox which delights our Demo
cratic contemporaries when they call the New
York Post, Times and Commercial Advertiser
and the Springfield Republican, Republican
journals. On Monday when the new recon
struction bill was under |consideration in the
House of Representatives, Mr. Cary forgot his
greenbacks for a moment, and propounded to
Mr. Bingham, |who reported the bill from the
reconstruction committee and who engineers
it in the House, the following questions:
First—If General Grttnt shall refuse to exe
cute the provisions of this law, or if, in its
execution, he shall act in an oppressive and
Cruel manner, to what tribunal will he he
amenable for liis nonfeasance or malfeasance.
Second—By the terms of the bill the Rresi
dent cannot intelere. Can the General be
tried by Court Martial, and if so by whose
orders’.’ and who shall constitute the Court?
Third.—Not being a civil officer, can he be
impeached? or il so, by whom and before what
tribunal?
Fourth—If be cannot be arraigned by any
earthly tribunal, is he not made an absolute
despot?
Mr. Bingham did not give it up,- but dis
posed/of his colleague and his objections
thus:
M.v colleague rises in his seat and asks
whether the Genera) of the army is responsible
in case he violates this law and tramples upon
the lights of the people. I regret that my
colleague deemed it his duty to make such in
quiry. I say to the General of the army—1
say to every other judicial and executive of
ficer of the Government—that he is neither
above the people nor above the people’s laws.
The General of your army is but the creature
of a Congressional enactment. The breath
which made him General may unmake him to
morrow. I answer my colleague further, that
by the 5th section of the bill, if the General of
the army be guilty of any violation of this law,
he is liable, by its very terms, to be arraigned
before the civil tribunals of the United States,
on an indictment, and held to answer for his
high misdemeanors, and on conviction is liable
to take his place in the penitentiary and pay
a forfeit not exceeding $5000. I trust that my
colleague is satislied with the severity of the
penalty.
Itepori of the Kailroad Coitiuiinsioners.
We conden se the following from an abstract
qf the report of the railroad commissioners,
prepared by Col. A. W. Wildes, of Skowhe
gan, chairman of the hoard:
Xh■ European and North American railway
ranks high among the railroad enterprises of
the State. It is graded and the track is laid
to Orono, and it is proposed to open the road
for travel to Oldtowu in the spring. In two
or three years the entire road will have been
completed.
An examination has been made for a road
from Portland to Ogdensburg, New York. It
is hoped that the road will be huilt, as it
would secure to Portland a large portion of
the trade of New Hampshire and Vermont,
and mak * it a depot for the granaries of the
W est.
The road-bed of the Dexter and Newport
railroad is almost ready for the superstructure.
The enterprise has been pushed forward by
the energy of the people of Dexter and Co
riuua. The road will be opened for travel by
the first of July, securing a connection with
tile -Maine Central Kailroad at Newport.
Three routes have been surveyed, all ol them
feasible. The importance of this road to Bel
fast, which lias a fine harbor and superior fa
cilities ior the outlet of the manufactures and
produce of the interior sectiou of the State
cannot he estimated. It is understood fhat
the construction of the roadwill.be commenced
soon.
A route for a railroad has been surveyed
from a point of connection with the European
and North American Railroad at Oldtowu to
Dover in Piscataquis County, passing from
Oldtowu through Alton, Lagrange,Gieeuvill),
Milo and Sebec to Dover and Foxcrott, run
ning within about four and a half miles ol the
slate quarries at Brownville, and about fifteen
miles of the iron works, making the whole
length of the road about forty miles. There is
a good prospect that work will be commenced
within the next two years.
The route for the Knox and Lincoln Rail
road has been surveyed. This road commen
ces at Bath and passes through the wealthy
seaboard towns of Woolwich, Wiscasset
Danianscotta and Waldoborougb, to Rock
land, a distance of4d miles. As the engineer
has not yet made his report, the commission
ers are unable to speak as to the characteris
tics of the route; nut of its importance and
convenience there cannot be a doubt. This
will connect with the Portlaud and Kennebec
Railroad at Bath.
The Portland an d Rooh ster Railroad ex
tension from Saco River to Alfred has been
iiearly completed; the Portland and Oxford
Ceutral Railroad has been extended from
East Sumner to Hartford, and it is proposed
to extend the road still further the coming
Slimmer. A new road is propo ed from West
Waterville by way of Norridgewock to Anson,
Somerset County, Surveys were made iu
1847, and a charter obtained, but nothing fur
ther was done until the last two years, when
an effort has been made which is likely to
prove successful.
The P. S.&k. R. R. is leased jointly by the
Eastern and Boston & Maine Railroads al
though operating under a distinet organiza
tion.
There are but two aud one-half miles of the
Boston and Maine Railroad within the limits
ol the State. This road is, as usual, in excel
lent condition. The Portsmouth, Great Falls
and Conway Railroad is owned and controlled
by the Eastern Railroad of Now Hampshire
aud Massachusetts, having about three and a
half miles within the State. The Portland aud
Kennebec, and Somerset and Kennebec Rail
roads, have been well managed, aud the trains
run with great regularity and freedom trout
accident. The wor.k of repairing and renew
ing the track, 1 ridges and station buildings
has been carried forward.
The Bangor, Oldtown and Milford Railroad
from Bangor to Milford, thirteen miles, is in a
good state of repair.
The Androscoggin Railroad, from Bruns
wick to Farmington, including the branch to
Lewiston, since the commencement of the
lease by which the whole line was put under
one management, has been greatly improved,
and is now in better condition than ever be
fore.
The Grand Trunk Railway extends 80 miles
within the limits ol the State, from Portland
to Gilead. The commissioners are sorry to be
ob.iged to make au unfavorable report of the
management aud condition of this road. The
great importance of this road to the business
interests of the State, precludes the idea of
asking for an in junction, hut if there is no im
provement the coming summer, the commis
sioners will be obliged to resort to extreme
measures.
.. The democratic conserva
nnt *o California, are crying
t ritaX Vv'ti1*16 t'-Ia!ln-v and outrages perpe
frd-.bLIh •rarti^1 Pa‘ty in Tennessee; and
vet it is notorious that, of the eleven seceded
Mates, Tennessee is the only one in a flourish
ing condition, iiebel passengers on tbe trains
from Virginia, the Carolina*, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Texas and elsewhere, say a« soon as
they enter the State of Tennessee they see
signs of prosperity and evidences of plenty.
Not so, they say, in the unreconstructed
States. Poverty and want and confusion are
the order of the day. So much for radical rule
in Tennessee. And if these Southern States
are ever restored to prosperity,it will be under
the control of a radical Congress and a loyal
■r resident. The former we have now, the laiter
we shall have after November next.—Kaoxvillt
Whig.
Orr. Bqnds in Europe.—The N'ew York
■ftlqes is surprised that our bonds ha>e main
tained thejpselves so steadily in Europe dur
ing the violent fluctuations of gold in the
American market since the lsf instant. They
have only varied a fraction of one per cent,
one way or the other. It is evident that our
political sensations Induce trtesserleeling of
distrust there than in our own country.
Recreant Republicans. — A Washington
correspondent writes that the New Hampshire
Demoorau who are in that city seeking places
wherewith to procure voters have unquestion
ably received aid and comfort from a few who
have heretofore called themselves Republicans.
This has been demonstrated to the leading
friends of Gen Grant, who are very properly
indignant at such duplicity, and who declare
that when the General becomes President these
men must not attempt to say that they were
members of the Republican party.
The Denver Branch of the Pacific Rail
road is to bo built during the coming year.
The territory of Colorado is to furnish £300,
000 of the funds, and the Union Pac.fic rail
road the rest. Cheyenne is to be the point of
junction with the Union Pacific road.
According to a supplementary report of
Commissioner Wells, the amount of sales by
the classes of dealers named below lias been as
follows during the past year: Wholesale deal
e.s, nearly £0,230,000,000; wholesale liquor
dealers, £009,000,000; retail dealers, £437,000,
000; retail liquor dealers, £1,483,000,000; sales
merchandise by auctioneers, £240,000,000; sales
of merchandise by commercial brokers, 8830,
000,000. Total, nearly £12.000,000,000.
The next Quarterly .Session of the Grand
Division of Sons of Temperance will he held
at Richmond, commencing Tuesday, January
28th, 1868, at 3 o’clock P. X. It is specially de
sirable that every Division be represented.
Return Tickets will he granted by all the Rail
roads.
Snow Storm.—We were visited yesterday
with a regular old fashioned Northeast snow
storin. A large quantity of snow fell during
the day, and it has drifted badly, spoling the
splendid sleighing we have been enjoying for
some weeks. The railroad trains wore hut
little behind time during the day, but the train
from Boston in the evening was an hour late.
Temperance at Ke.vnebukk.—We learn
that a Temperance meeting will be held at
Keuuebunk to-morrow forenoon, afternoon
and evening, and that a delegation will go out
from this city. If the weather should be
stormy, there will be no postponement on that
account. A very pleasant and profitable
meeting may be expected.
Lecture at Saccabappa.—Bev. Mr. Bolles,
of this city, delivered his lecture—“Inside and
Outside"—to a very appreciative audience in
Saccarappa on Monday evening. It were well
tor the people of that village, as else where,—
and none more clearly perceive the fact than
those who were present,—if they would think
less of outside and more of the inside than
they have been accustomed to do. Iu the
realm of nature it is the superstitious, and in
the realm of mind it is the superficial, who
dwell on the surface, and neglect to explore
and discover the grander elements within.—
The desire is general that the lecture may be
repeated; and we trust it will he.
Slow.—“Van” is a witty dog,and sometimes
gets off curious sayings. A day or two since
he perpetrated the lollowing: John- is
noted as a fearfully slow coach, requiring at
least double hours for anything. A few nights
ago lie aqd Joe B. “sat up” with a sick man,
or rather Joe did, while John at about eleven
o’clock lay down and went lo sleep, remaining
close wrapt iu the arms of Somnus till five iu
the morning. The next day Van beard the
story of John’s watchfulness, and as some
one remarked that his five hours’ sleep would
enable him to keep awake the next day Van
delivered himself as follows: “No, poor fel
low, he probably did not sleep more than ten
minutes; he is so slots he could not do more than
that in five hours."
It has already been announced that the
celebration of the anniversary of the eman
cipation proclamation will take place at
City Hall on Monday evening. It was a
source of great regret to the citizens of
Portland as well as to the colored people who
have the matter under their more immediate
charge, that the celebration could not have
taken place on the evening of the 1st of Janu
ary, but theie are many reasons why it may
take place nearly a month later with equal
propriety and, if anything, with more satisfac
tion to all parties interested. Since the first of
January much has been done at the national
capital which indicates a firm intention on the
part of Congress to complete the work of jus
tice which was begun by Abraham Lincoln on
the 1st of January, 1863. The Great Emanci
pator’s proclamation of freedom to the slave
would have lost half its value, if Congress had
left the colored race unprotected by the pos
session of civil and political rights, to the mer
cy of vagrant laws and unjust police regula
tions that remanded them to virtual slavery.
The establishment of republican institutions
in the South, is a necessary complement of
emancipation. We now have much fuller as
surance that such institutions will be rigidly
exacted of the Southern people as a bond for
their future good behaviour, than we had at
the beginning of the month. The Fortieth
Congress is as inexorable as fate in its crusade
against oppression. It may move Blowly and
hesitatingly, but it plants a “ terrible fixed
foot” that cannot move backward. It will take
no step that may engender unnecessary strife;
it will not wantonly bring itself in conflict
with the co-ordinate branches of the govern
ment; but within its legitimate sphere of ac
tion, sustained by a liberty-loving people, it
will little heed the obstacles placed in its path
by recreant Executives or by Conservative
Courts.

The Maine Democrat says last week, whi'e
Mr. YVilliam Johnson, of Saco Pool, was dig
ging clams, he came upou a cannon ball which
was undoubtedly fired by the British during
the w.ir ot 1812, as they then took possession
ot that locality, and destroyed quite a number
of vessels ami other property. The hulks ot
several of the old vessels are now to be seen
partially embedded iu the mud at the wharf,
near the house of George Bryant, Esq., where
they*were scuttled and sunk over fifty years

ing holden within not .less than 30 days next
preceding the session ot the Annual Confer
ences, shall elect not less than throe nor more
than nine Delegates from each District, the
number to be determined by a fixed ratio of
representation of membership, to represent
the laity in Annual Conferences.
Rights of Delegates in Annual Confer
ences.—Lay Delegates to the Annual Confer
ences shall have the right to take part in all

and to vott ou all questions, except those re
lating to passage of character, aud the trial of

gates to the General Conference, equal in

Conference shall have the right to take part lu
all the deliberations of that body, to act an all
committees, except those on Itinerancy and
Episcopacy, and to vote on all questions ex
cept those relating to the trial of ministers.
Which, after thorough discussion, was
adopted; and the meeting adjourned to 7
o’clock P. M.
EVENING SESSION.
Religious exercises were conducted by Rev.
Mr, Sawyer of Bath.
Rev. E. R. Keyes of Portland made appro- ’
prfate opening temaM, welcoming the Cotw
▼eption to the city, and expr.-*g hi to self
emphatically in favor ol th; obfcot for which
itivas convened, and iiWdgiug jhii^ active ef
forts in its behalf.
Hon. J. J. Perry of Oxford Was nest called
upon. The goodly numb.-i- which had assem
bled on a day so unfavorable Was evidence to
his mind that the*peoph- were’- fully awskt to
the subject under consideration.
Tbe next speaker was the iicv, a|r. Gee of
Tennessee. It had seemed strange to him
that our Methodist fathers had laded to make
provision for lay ‘representation4. The lav
preaebing in Mr. Wesley’s time was the great
secret of tbe success of Methodism. ] redid
not look upon this movement as revolutiona
ry. It is progress, and progress of the right
kind. In regard to the divine right of the
clergy to govern the church, lie said, the Pope
was born ot that idea, and he Loped Ihev
might soon die together.
Mr. Gee s remarks were spirited and Wire
listened to with marked attention:'
Rev. J. B. Gould,of Bangor, was next called
upon. If he were to make a speech he should
feel like attacking the first wpi-jl of the plan;
he would like to have thai word “male'’ re
moved; he wanted to see the day whpu all
such distinctions would he done away.
Rev. Gilbert Haviii. editor of JStnnti Herald,
followed. There was nothing clearer to hisj
mind than the propriety of the representation
of the church in the legislation of the church.
The Methodist Church has never been airaid
to review ils discipjisland modify* whore
the interests of the church seemed to demand
it. It is not' afraid to meet this question and
act upon it as Providence directs.
Dr. Cummings, President of Westeyan Uni
versity of Middletown, said it was unju-t hr
attribute tq those w Uu actively fa vqr this uiovt -
ment a disposition to du avvifys Vhfh «auy dis
tinctions which arc of God.
If iu the primitive church laymen oonld
take part in the selection of an apostle, is it
treason to that church for laymen to take part
iu the election of a book agent or an editor?
The speaker referred to the work oi the last
General Conference to show that only a small
part of that business has auy speoia] reference
to ministerial interests. It is the business and
work of the Church, and it is important that
there should be an expression from the Church
on these matters. When it is admitted that
there is nothing wrong iu the participation o’f
the Laity in the government of the Church it
becomes a question of expediency.
We cannot give an adequate report of the
Doctor’s speech. His arguments were con
vincing, and must have strengthened the ad
vocates of lay representation in thuir views.
The resolutions whic h were adopted wo are
obliged to defer until to-morrow. The meet
ing adjourned about 10 o’clock. A meeting
for prayer and conference will he held iu the
Church qt half-past 8 o'clock this morni ng.
Tbc Cow of Alfred H'iar.
Mn. Editor:—A statement made in Mon
day’s Press concerning the death of Alfred
Wise, a poor debtor, in the prison, will beat
correcting in some of its particulars. The debt
originally due his landlady was about $25. He
had reduced it to $11, and told her when she
came to see himAfaal be would pdy her as soon
as he got the money. The next day he was ar
rested and thrown into prison. Wise was not
“able to pay.” In the first place he had not
steady work. In the second place he was not
a sound, healthy man. The answer he made
to his employer when his aid Was offered, was
this, “That he did not think he was able to,
work; that he was sick, and it was better for
him to he in prison than out as lie had no
money and wonld be better taken rare-ef.”
No doubt some others might have demo .better
than he did, yet he did all he could, and what
more is asked? I think the lady in question
acted a little too quick in the matter, but I can
hardly blame her, so long as such a law as im
prisonment lor debt remains un flic statute
hooka of the State of Maine—a law which re
calls the whipping post and pillorv.

Deering Hali..—Notwithstanding it stunn
ed last evening, the exhibition at Deering Hall
drew a large crowd. And well it might, for it

grace and a splendid physical developemcut,

Messes, ftawkes and Gentleman, Deputy
State Constables, have resigned. These resigna
tions leave but ope Constable i n tlie cou nty. The
Star mentions the main cause for this rebel
lion, the action of Mr. Nye, who refuses to ap
prove the bills of liis deputies for fees. There
has been considerable complaint about this
matter of fees, and while the charges of the
deputies were doubtless made in good iiiith,
and they have an unquestionable right to leave
an unremunerative employment, we believe
Mr. Nya's course is in accordance with, the
law and will mccL t}ra approbation oi the peo
ple of the State.
