The Detroit Methodist Conference
ON Politics and ministerial Can.
didates.
The following resolutions were passed by
the Detroit Conference of the NJ. E. Church
at its recent session at Ypsilunti, and order
ed published
ReSolued, That while the Christian min
listers are authorized and required by the
Word of God to preach against all sin wher-
ever found, and in their civil relations should
act up to the full measure OF their RESPONSE
bility as citizens, yet our judgment is that it
is entirely inconsistent with their vocation for
them to engage in political matters in such
a way and to such an extent as will class
them with political partizans.
ResolUed, That a profession of devotion
to the work Of the ministry and restless de.
sire for civil and political Office are totally
irreconcilable, that while one is seeking of.
flee through the ordinary political maneuv-
rings of the day he can neither be in the
spirit nor properly discharge the duties of
the ministry; and that we request every
member of this body either to abstain from
personal efforts to procure office or to retire
altogether from the Conference.
Rssolved, That should any member OF
this body pledge the aid of Methodist minis
ters and the votes of Methodist members to
any party or candidate for office, or should
threaten the displeasure of the Methodist
public and the Withdrawal of their influence
in case his preferences are not complied
with, he would be guilty of high misde.
mea8eT, and would merit the censure of this
Confesence.

ALI Swept Away.

Among the many sad incidents, says the
New Orleans Delta of the present epidemic
which have come TO onr knowledge, and
which we have generally nbstaned from pub.
fishing, is the following, perhaps unsurpass-
ed in affective interest: "h German who
came to this city many years since, has uc-
quired large property, and last Spring he
sent over to "faderland" and removed to this
city all the members of his immediate family
in number some seven or eight-father,
mother, brothers and sisters. Not long af-
ter their arrival the pestiIence entered his
household, and ceased not its work of death
until every one of the newly arrived relatives
were carried fort to their graves in strange
land which they had come so far to fill.

Saved her Life but Lost her JeW
n1rV.

The Cincinnati Gazette tells most singu-
lar incident of lady Of that city who had
engaged passage on the Austria, but not
liking her state room, took passage on ano-
ther ship, although she was obliged to lose
the passage money, which was paid in ad.
vance. Alter her passage had been taken
in another ship. feeling seized her that the
vessel she was to sail in would be lost, and
she with it, and SO controlling was this feel.
ing that she stripped herself of all her Jew
elry, watch, rings, pins, brooches and chains
to large amount, and entrusted the casket
containing them to the captain of the Aus.
tria with directions in case of her loss to
send them to her friends. The lady arrived
safe, the jewelry was lost with the Austria.
Will not those who dwell upon PRESENT.
ments make note of this one, as showing
that they are as likely to be wrong as right.

OOluB AWUy WIN tNO A<sSW yCNS'
The Young Mems Christian Association oil
Pittsburg have adopted policy which must
be alarming to the lawyers Of that city. At
a recent meeting, resolutions were adopted
foFthe appointment Of committee of arbi-
tration, before whom the members Of the
association, and all others who may wish to
have their personal differences settled, in
obedience to Christian rules, may bring their
matters of controversy. A Pittsburg cores
pondent of a religious paper writing on the
subject says:
The object of this movement is to open
the way for a more general observation Of
the injunctions plainly given by Paul, in the
sixth chapter Of his first Epistle to the Cor
inthians. 1t has long been a disgrace to
those calling themselves Christians, that,
instead Of an attempt amcably to settle their
differences, as those who have renounced
the world and become brethren in Christ,
they "go to law" with each other, "and that
before unbelievers." How often, when
member of one denomination of Evangelical
Christians has sued member Of another,
and the courtroom has become the scene of
hostile if not reveDgeful measures between
them, do the people OF the world, standing
by, exclaim "Bebold how the Christians
LOVE one another 7" The day is past for
converting people to christianity by only an
exhibition of its theory-by preaching of
love, good will and forbearance, while its
professors upon every occasion of fancied in
suit or injury, rush upon each other with all
the bitterness of litigation. 1t is to be hop
ed that the steps taken by the association Of
our city will be initiated, and that churches,
individually, will also join in the effort to
show the world that when they pray, "Tby
will be done on earth as it is in Heaven"
they mean something more than the express
sion of an abstract idea.

w- Witchcraft, magic and sorcery, in
olden times, were the means by which pro-
fessors of these black arts obtained the
mastery and control OF their fellows. 1t
has been supposed that the power of the
magician was gone, and that witchcraft
had lost its spell But we don't know
about this. aat tiY Y.'i .a. f.I. 1r
On what other theory can be explained
the conduct of multitudes of people for the
last few days? We have seen scores-we
might say hundreds-of otherwise seDsi-
BILE citizens-gentlemen, who, on ordinary
occasions, seem to place fair value upon
money, and labor diligently to obtain it,,
rushing in crowds to the counter of Mr.. o.
Branch, and with eager haste, hand him
over the gold, and silver, and bank bills,
and beg him to take their "piles," with an
earnestness that is truly amasing! .,.
Every man wants to be before his neigh
Dor, and while Mr.. B, is taking the money
from one. dozen more are crowding each
other to see who can come in next. We
have seen gentleman waiting all day and
far into the night, for their turn TO come,
and when, at last, they have been per-
mitted to give up their handful of cash,
the look of anxious care and deep solicit
ude which marked their features while
waiting. instantly give place to sense of
relief and with u lighter purse and hearts
so, so-wend their winding ways
through mud and moonshine, to their
homes in the town or country, as the case
might be. I'm .ral,f 1.e aa
Now, what but the mighty power Oh
magic gives Mr.. Oren Branch such abso-
lutte control over the people of this County?
Here are Republicans, Democrats, Amer
leans and Old-Line Whigs-men of all
parties in politics, and all creeds in relig-
ion. and all nationalities by birth, crowd
ing in promiscuous mass, as if moved BY
one impulse. And. strange to say, they
all ask the same questions, and each. tries
to get rid of his money first? Is Mr.. Ore'
