Qbita9o Grlbul>t,
FRIDAY, JANUARY Is, 1884.


-
This question was propounded the othct
dry in railroad car, waiting the tedious re.
movA Of IN obstructing train in its, way, by
an individual Of an inquiring turn Of mind.
Some hnd no opinion 10 offer. One thought
1t would end In year, One was sure It would
stop In three months, While the inquirer him
sell was Of opinion that 1t had about three
years yet TO run.
Probably these va riant notions arc about
sample Of those gcnr1ully abroad. The truth
ts, the Rar is kind OF milestone into which
nobody can look, much further than pertor-
alton Is made; and any one speculation about
1t is linble to turn ont ns false as any other,
apparently more absurd. War is a very un-
certain game, in any event; and this is rather
more uncertain than most. ,
But Vc hayc some clements which NAV "a.
tionall5 go into calculation; and these all
point to an carly termination of it-always
provided it IL carried on upon one side with
the vigor which tho case dcmauds, aud as II
IL might last seven years longer. But what
is an carly termination, Some people hive
queer notions of tho length Of wars. They

1. fB In Lis letter to Lincoln of July 2, 1869,
Gen. Mcclellan says, that a declaration Of
"radlcal views upon slavery will dlsinte;rate
" our present armies and render hopeless the
" effort to obtain other soldiers" :
Subsequent events not only wholly disprove
McClcllan's prediction, but have dcmonstra-
ted TINT 1t was the declaration and adoption
OF radical views that have saved the country
from uticr destruction. It was the pro-sla-
very policy on which the war Was conducted
for the first two years that 60 nearly ship.
wrecked the Union cause. Lust year the rad.
ica. plan was tried with the most gratifying
results. Another year Of It will crush tho re-
be1lion and end the war
~ The Boston Traveller says: "Among
Other Northern projects to develop the re.
sources Of the South, under the cou,lng re-
Etne Of free soil nnd free men, Is that of an
sntcrprising lady Of this city, who has organ
lied m expedition to North Carollnn for the
purpose Of working In the extensive pins re-
gions Of That State now under Federal pro-
lection. She takes with her several expert
cnccd mechanics, with tools and other noccs-
sary articles. A vessel chartered by the lady
sailed several days since.

THE ARGURLLRs CASE.

I. All the nations of Cbrstendom (and the
JEFF. Davis conspiracy to boot) are now united
in condemnation and Introduction OF the over.
seas or African Slave.Trade. BY our laws, and
those of most civilized nations, it is denounced
as Piracy, the most heinous, abhorent exc
cradle Of felonies.
III. This country has hOnorably combined
with all the great maritime nations OF Europe
in league which has for its avowed and sole
end the extirpaton Of this infamous traffic, and
has, throughout the last, thirty or forty years,
spent many millions Of dollars and sacrificed
many precious lives to secure this end.
III. Spain, through her remaining American
possessions, is tho only existing refuge Of this
iHhumsn trade. Her laws condemn il; her
Government has bound itself by treaties to sup
press it; yet slaves, to the average number Of
some ten thousand per annum, are still clan,
destinely shipped from the western coast OF
Africa and run into one or another of the small
er ports of Cuba. where they arc readily Snug

PROHIBITION OF sLAvRHOLDING
IN TIKI N. X. CHURCH..

The General Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, which represents the largest
Protestant denomination Of this country,
passed, on Tuesday, resolution which will
mark q turning point in the history Of the
relation Of the American Churches to Slavery.
After brief, and, as it seems, on the whole,
dispassionate discussion, it was resolved, by 204
Yeas to 8 Nays, so TO change the General
Rule" az TO forbid slaveholding altogether.
The minority consisted of 3 delegates from the
West Virginia Conference, 2 from the Ken
lucky, 2 from the Baltimore, and l from
the East Baltimore Conference. All the
delegates Of the Missouri and Arkansas
Conference, as well as tho entire delegation OF
the Philadelphia Conference, which comprises
parts of Maryland and Delaware, voted with
the majority. SO also did the majority of the
delegates from the Baltimore and East Bal
timorc Conferences. The delegates Of those
Conferences which lie wholly within tho Free
States showed very remarkable unanimity in
favor Of the report, not casting q single vote
against it. Most of the speakers of the minority
are known as Ant-Slavery men, and announced
themselves as such, and they only declared
themselves against the measure On the ground
Of expediency.
In order to become an obligatory law, the
resolution just passed must DO presented to
each Annual Conference, Of which there are
forty eight within the boundaries of the United
States, and so soon as three-fourths Of the
members Of all the Annual Conferences who
may be present and vote thereon shall have
concurred, tho proposed change takes effect.
AS the vote Of the General Conference indicates,
this concurrence OF tho Annual Conferences is
not in tho least doubtful. 1t may possibly be
rejected by three, the West Virginia, tho Ken.
lucky, and the Baltimore Conferences, and q
few votes may be cast against it in two other
Border Conferences EAST Baltimore and Phila.
delphia); but oil tho others will pass it with
entire, or nearly entire, unanmity. A year
from to-day the vote Of all the Annual Confer.
ences will have been ascertained, and then the
Methodist Episcopal Church will take her place
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1864-05-24

at the head of the Anti-Slsvery churches OF the
United States.
The effect of this change upon the Anti-Slay-
cry sentiment of the country cannot fan To DC
marked. Hitherto only number OF the smaller
denominations Of the country had taken this
position. Thus among the MethodiStS only the
Wesleyans, with membership of about Il ,ooO,
the Free Methodsts and the Independent
MethOdists, two small organizations OF recent
origin, had excluded shareholders from Their
communion, while the Methodist Episcopal
Church, with about 900, 600 members, only pro-
Ihbted the buyng and selling Of slaves, and
the Methodist Protestant Church (abOut 9O, 600
mcmbers) had no general law on the subject OF
slaveholding. Among the Prcsbyterians, the
United Presbytorians $4,000 member'), the
Reformed PreSbyteranS 15,OO0) and the Free
Presbyterian Synod $1,000 mcmbcrS), did not
allow slaycholdng; while no such prohibition
was enforced among the Old-School Presbytc-
rianS 600 900 members) the New-School Pres
byterians 1876, 900 memberS), or the Cumberland
|Prcsbytorians (about 100000 mcmberS). Among
the other denominations, "the United Brethren
in Christ" who number about 100, 900 commun-
icants, and the Friends, adhered to Slavery
forbdding policy, while the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, the Roman Catholic. the Luther
ans the German and Dutch Reformed, and
the UnverSalists refraincd from lcgislatlng on
tho subject.
The General Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church consists only Of clerical DEL
egates. But the laity. in this question, are by
no means behind the clergy. Alta General Con-
ycntion of Laymen from all parts Of the coun-
try, which met in the first days Of the present
week in Philadelphia to memorabilia the Gen
eral Conference for the introduction of lay dele
cations into the church assemblies, resolutions
were introduced in favor of the abolition OF
Slavery in Church and State, and they passed
without a dissenting voice, although many men,
bcrs of the Convention were known to have
had heretofore very conservative yiewso the
subject Of Slavery.
Now that the most numerous of the American
Churches has placed itself at the head of the
Anti-Slavery Churches Of the country, we may
expect that Others will speedily follow.
