The National Inteligencer, which is now re-
gafded as the Presidents organ, says on the
question of removal from Office, TT seems very
evident that the President should have the
power of removal, where there's is corruption or
ineficiencyi in office; and there could be no OBJ
lection to the great mass of officers haUiny "a
Jfred.terra, during ,cticb they should not be re-
moved, except for cause. There are two objects
of immense Importance which should be keptin
view first, prompt mode of removing a cor
rupt or incompetent officer; second fixed
tenure of office. by which the Presidential cleo
tions should not be great battles for spoils This
prompt removal for cause cannot be placed IN

The New England Methodist Conference.

a.fI 4as-tsf-r slf-f DOSION, Ouuc y, lCOO.
The Convention of ministers and members
of the Methodist Episcopal church of New
England, met in Grace Church, in this city,
to-day, at 10 o'clock, A. M. The body is COM
posed of an equal number of clerical and lay
delegates; that is, each pastor and one lay
delegate from each local church. They ale
not all present; but very large number of
delegates and visitors are in attendance. Sew
eral distinguished gentlemen from beyond
New England are expected; among them
Bishop Simpson and Rev. Abel Stevens,
LII D., the historian of Methodism, whose
works are taking the place of the histories of
English authors even in Great Britain. Our
Methodist friends expect a good time, and
their expectations will doubtless be fully graf
ified. Their friends in Boston and vicinity
have spared no pains to furnish the delegates
free entertainment, and to give tkem most
earnest christian reception. This is the first
free Methodist Episcopal church in Boston,
built one or two years since, with fine organ
and galleries on three sides. 6 u
The services were commenced with vol
untary on the organ. Rev. VIM. Mcdonald
took charge of the religious services, Rev. Mr..
Collier read the scriptures, and Rev. Dr. True
offered prayer. A very blessed influence rest
ed upon the audience. Hon. VIM. Clafin,
Lieut.. Governor of Massachusetts, was chosen
President by acclamation; and Rev. Mr..
Manning, Secretary pro tenn. While the COM
mittee on permanent organization were con-
sulting, quarter OF an hour was devoted to
social and fraternal greetings. Vice Presi-
dents, Secretaries, and Committees on relig-
ious service business, statistics, and finance
were appointed. As the church was crowded
during this first meeting it was voted to
meet at fremont Temple this afternoon
Rev. Mr.. Mcdonald, pastor Of the church, de-
livered an excellent address OF welcome which
was greeted with cheers and hearty christian
responses. The convention bids fair TO be a
great and noble success. There are $4,000
members of the Methodist Episcopal church
in New England, and they have 750 spires
pointing towards heaven. What has God
wrought since Lee preached his first sermon
in Boston under the Elm Tree on the Com
mon! Yours truly, E. A. II.

"A new White House" is talked of in WASH
ington, and the matter is before Congress. The
residence of the President is badly placed, and
it is not unlikely that the effect of bad air on
Presidents can be seen-or heard-in the bad
language of some Presidents The fever-and-
ague grows in the White House, and to suffer
from that complaint is enough to convert a
saint into demon.
