The contest IN the Methodist Episcopal
Church upon the introduction of lay dele
gates into the General Conference was de-
eiled, virtually, on Saturday last, by the
vote Of the East Maine Annual Conference;
4,9OC ministers have voted age, and :, G34 no.
Should the Mission Conference in Ger
many, which has forty-fve members, vote
against it, the opponents Of the measure
would still lack one vote of one-fourth Of
the whole vote cast The three-fourths
vote necessary to carry the measure Is,
therefore, assured The vote OF the 1Aity
Of the Church having been overwhelmingly
in the same direction, this revolution in the
constitution Of the Methodist Church, to
avoid which she submitted to the secession,
about forty years ago, of tho Metho-
dist Protestant Church, and which.
Mt q later period, both her 1aity
mud clergy Toted down By large
majority has Mt Last been consun1nated,
nainly by efforts put forth in ten years.
The movement is IN democratic direction,
and is usually accepted as in harmony with
the genius Of our age and institutions. But
church Is inherently q theocracy, and
whether successful theocracJ Is IN accord
with democratic principles and forms Of
government, remains to be seen. The
Methodist Church, ruled by its clergy only,
has been body of vast senergy, and, per-
haps, one Of the most successful propaganda
ist institutions ever founded In taking the
1aity into partnership in the exercise OF
governmental functions, it accommodates
itself to an element necessarily less earnest,
devoted and spiritual, and assimilates its
form of government to that Of churches
which have proved themselves less united
and powerful

The bar of this city have been in tho
habit of complaining that, in the selection
OF candidates for Judges, their wishes and
preferences have not been consulted by the
nominating conventions The present OPP
poztunity seems to be most favorable one
for the legal profession to demonstrate
their ability and wisdom in tho selection Of
candidates for judicial positions. If there
is any unanimity of feeling among the
members of the bar on this subject, now is
the time for them to exhibit it #, in the
selection of Judges, they are willing to suz-
render political prejudices, now Is the time
for them to do SO. Should large majority
of the bar Of this city agree upon candi-
dates for Judges to be elected under the
new constitution, the public would be quite
likely to accept the names thus presented,
but if there should prove to be about as
much difference Of opinion among the
members Of the bnr as with the public, tho
people will be very apt to take the matter
into their own hands, and decide the ques-
ton for themselves.
Is it not possible, at q general meeting of
the bar, to arrive at and obtain an express
sion Of its opinion rs to what gentlemen
they desire to see elevated to the position
request Will hardly answer the purpose.
Signatures to such papers are so easily pro-
cnred, that they rarely express the real sen
tinents of the signers, and are as often
given rs mere matter of accommodation
