For the TRIBUsE.

In the bod geyille Chronicle of Nav 2Sth,
Is published an account taken from the
y. \. independent Of a meeting Of the
solid mel" OF the Methodist Episcopal
church of New York City, TO consider the
question of Lay Delegation, OF which the
editor of the Chronicle makes certain mis-
statements and comments which II unoor
rected are of a character to place said
church in a false position, before the pub
lie. This is my plea for Indulgence In
YOUR columns His first statement either
betrays great amount of ignorance on
the subject of lay delegation now being
agitated in the NJ E. Church, or other
wise an intention to misrepresent said
church to the public. He says, we had
thought that the matter Of l,y delegation
had been entirely hushed, at least for the
present generation, in the NJ. +. Church
Now the gentleman, occupying as lie does,
the chair editorial of q sister church, and
who presumes to inform the public of
what is going on in the church" but es-
pecially the NJ f. church, ought to have
known that, instead of the question being
''hushed for a generation, that the laity
of that church by authority, and at the
request Of the General Conference held in
1860 are now considering that question,
and are requested to east their vote for or
against Said vote to be reported to the
next General Conference, which will meet
in Phil delphis. N May 1864; the subject
then will doubtless receive the careful
consideration of that body He next states,
"we are puzzled TO know whether this
lay delegation notion is step in the ret
rograde or in the advance | very much

well known that lnIs gentleman has be-n

Income Tax for 1869

The Income Tax is imposed upon a GER
tain propo. ton of the income of these two
classes, viz:
l. Every person residing in the United
States; and every citizen ~esidino abroad
who is in the employment of the Govern
ment of the United States
, Every citizen of the United States
residing abroad, and not in the employ
ment of the Government of the United
States.
Every person in the first class will be
taxed at the rate of three per cent when
his or her annual gains, profits or income
exceed 5000, and do net exceed $4,000.
after the following deductions are made
from the gross amounts returned, (as per
table, page . viz:
l. The 5000 allowed by law

Whenever the taxable income of a res>
ident in the United States, ascertained a.
above, exceeds $4,000, and upon . por-
ton of said amount three per cent. has
been withheld by the officers OF companies
corporations and associations, from inter
est or dividends therein due him, such in
come will be subject to tax of tive per
cent. additional upon so much thereof as
may have been previously subjected to a
duty of three per cent by the officers of
the companies, corporations or associa-
ttons aforesaid.
But in no case, whether a person is sub
iect to a tax of three or FIVE per cent, is
a higher rate of tax than | per cent. TO
be collected from that portion of income
derived from interest upon notes, bonds
or other securities of the United States
Where a husband and wife live togeth-
err and their taxable income IS in excess

FREEDOM SHRfEKERs.

The new born zeal of large class of
professed democrats for freedom of speech
and freedom of the press, but lily COM
ports with the course of the same party
and same men lew years, or even few
months since, when they were justifying
and eysR appl2uding the hanging of men
in Kansas and all through the Southern
States, for uttering their views upon the
evils of slavery. They could then look
with complacency upon the acts of mobs
that were lynchins Iuen for the exercise
OF freedom of speech, and rejoice at the
mobbing of newspapers for abusing, as
they termed it, the freedom of the press
When Charles Sumner was struck down
in the Halls of our National Legislature,
for no other act than the exercise of free
dom of speech in public debate, the al
most universal cry of the latter day dem
ocrats was, Served Kim right" When
the press and types of Lovejoy were
thrown into the river at Alton, IL, and
Mr.. Lovejoy himself was murdered by

Republican prints would cause general
closing of printing Offices, and arrest of
all who would dare to utter treason

gentleman does not forget to inform rs
that "the Primitive Methodists have this
lay delegation as n prominent character
istic," but he does forget to tell us that
some Of the ''solid men" of that church
have said I'VE have too much of it" And
that the greater question has recently
been agitated in their annual Conference
if not to do away with it, At least to mod
ify it. He next charges that ''some gem
tlemen of the N. E. persuasion have hoot-
ed them for this lay delegation OF this
your correspondent pleads both ignoranc
and innocence. If, however, this gentle
man be the eKponen. Of lay delegation a.
existing in his church, (and suppose he
is, as he is their only official editer in the
q. 50 then the charge he makes if not
true, certainly ought to be. An editorial
of his on this subject published in . pa-
per entitled "The Pilgrim" in which he
attempts 80 answer an objection against
the lay representation as it exists in the
P. NJ. Church, viz, two Law delegates to
one ministerial in which he stated that il
is a wise arrangement frem the fact that
in point of intelligence and influence it
required two laymen to contend with one
of the ministry, U do net give the exact
quotation as | quote from memory, but
vouch for the statement being substantial
ly correet.) Now if these be his views
on the character of the laity of his church,
every lsyman Of common sense ought to
hoot its author and the church which
sanctions his views. He finally says 'ths
NJ <. church is struggling to come a. this
same thing" that is, lay delegation as it
exists in his church. This is not SO. The
lay proposition in the NJ E. Church il
only to admit it o the General Conference
which is only composed of one out of thir-
ty-seven ministers, nd meeting quadren-
nially, That of the p. NJ. church is to the
yearly conference and composed of all
its ministers. They have also two lay rep.
resentatives for each minister for the rea-
son assigned by the gentleman, but the
NJ. K. church at the farthest, only propo-
ses an equal representation, for the worry
good reason that they estimate their iaity
higher, both intellectually and iafiuen-
italy than they, hence the difference is
a wide one, not 'the same thing" by snv
means, and it would be well for the gen
tleman of the Chronicle" to understand
that when the NJ E. Church adopts a sys-
tenn of lay delegation like unto theirs,
that the laity within her pale will have
become greatly degenerated, period so
far in the distance that even his far-see-
ing eye cannot discover it's dawn
