N. E. Methodist Convention.
correspouaepce of the bellows Fails Times

This Convention was held in Boston,
June 5, 6, and Z. A full thousand dele
gates, lay and clerical, came together
from all parts of New England. More
than eighty Methodist ministers from Yer
mont were present.
This Convention has no precedent in
the whole century of American Metho-
dsm. But it will mark an epoch in the
history of that church. Henceforth such
conventions of contiguous conferences will
be feature of Methodism. So let il be.
Several hundred earnest ministers, each
attended by a lay member of bis church
assembled as brethren, not to make laws,
but to pray and sing together and to cul-
tivate the correctional spirit of the denom-
ination and to consider measures for more
efficient evangelization, must be useful in
any denomination.
Eminent men were present. Bishop
Simpson, J. T. Peck d. d. of California,
Senator Evans from the "vetoed State
Colorado, w. Butler, d. d. returned from
the India mission, and others known in the
nation and the church.
The work and wants of N. e. Metho-
dists were thoroughly discussed, and
doubtless this Methodist centenary year
will be much more marked year in New
England because of this convention.
The common sentiment of the homeward.
bound delegates on Friday last was " We
think more Of Methodism than we did,
The convention began in the Spirit, pro.
| crossed with increasing fraternal feeling
and closed very happily.
| N. E. Methodism shows no signs of de
cay. Seventy-six years ago, the founder
of Methodism in New England hitchet
his itinerant horse somewhere in the tow
mon, set it beneath grand old elm, the
biggest and Oldest elm in all New Eng
land, took his stand upon it, sung hymn
prayed, sung again and then preached tt
the hundreds gathered by the novelty, the
first Methodist sermon in Boston. Tha
old elm still stands; the woodman spares
that tree, SO may the storms let it live til
hundreds of generations of N. E. Metho
dists shall have stood beneath the sacred
branches of this their trysting tree"
/ Seventy-six years! Surely in this tim,
I" the Lord hath done them great good
To-day they enroll 100000 members
III, 900 Sabbath School scholars. They
have in New England 90 churches, 43(
parsonages. Their church property i
valued at S4,250,0O0.
The Convention met in Grace church
Temple st, and was organized with Lieut.
Gov. Claffiin, President. That spaciou
edifice was too small for the multitude, s,
the Convention adjourned to Tremon
Temple. And this was filled at ever,

In noticing an article in the Bedford IN
qairer, recently, in regard to our Common
School System, we were, by some unaccoun-
table oversight on our part led to treat it as a
communication instead of an editorial. We
regret that this blunder was made on our part
and would take this opportunity of correcting
the error We should be sorry to do injustice
to any one, and as we are not in the habit OF
either boTYoriRg or stealing our editorial ar,
ticles, we would not wish to accuse others of
doing the same We would say in regard to
the articles referred to, that they are amongst
the ablest aud most interesting that we have
read on this subject, and are well worthy of
persual. We would especially commend ar
ticle No. of the series to the notice of all
the readers of that very excellent paper, aud

If so, it shall be duly and properly credited

from our reportive remarks on what might
be sonstrued into left handed compliment,
we viii here state that. as far as our knowl-
edge extends they have always been strictly

they forget that Congress is the law making
power and that there people are repre-

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY TREATY

On Wednesday, February 7th, the Com
niittee of Ways and Means rejected the
proposition to renew or even to extend the
time Of the notice to stop the operations of
the Treaty. The Canadian ministers are
said to be in great tribulation over the loss
of the advantages of this one sided Demo
cratic Freetrade Treaty In another column
will be found broad hint at the means by
which they hoped to get this infamous, and
for us, suicidal treaty renewed. For once
we have reason to believe that British gold
has failed to buy a free trade treaty. The
Committee of Ways and Means deserve the
thanks Of the country for their prompt and
unequivocal action. While this nice little
Canadian scheme seems to have fallen
through despite the indefinite amount of
the recent fund voted by their parliament
for buying it through at Washington, there
is an extraordinary activity among the Dem
ocratic Freetraders to obtain reduction of
our present tariff or at least prevent any
increase that might be favorable to our own
and injurious to the manufacturing interests
of British capitalists How much British
gold has been appropriated for this purpose
has not transpired, but it has no doubt re-
quired quite round sum to infuse such ac-
tivity as is now displayed by their satellites
In propagating their free-trade ideas If
our readers win read the article in another
column, entitled British corruption fund
they win get an idea of how and by whom
Free Trade has been promoted here in form
er days.
