Methodist Reunion

The example Of the Prcsbyteri-
ans in uniting in one Church organ
ihation after thirty years of dlyl-
sion, is having its effect upon the
Nethodists. Like the Presbyteri-
ans. their divisions have not pro
ce,d d from doctrinal dissensions,
but from questions of moral and
ecclesiastical discipline. The Pro
testant Methodists Withdrew from
IL G mother Church on the question
of lay representation in their Con
ferencesS and on the appointment
of ministers by the Bishops. SO
far as appointments are concerned
the power Of Bishops to appoint
has been so modified that il is pref
tv generally known before Il Con
ference assemblies where the prin-
ciple portion Of them are to be as
signed. The admission of the
laity to the General Conference, on
which the Protestant Methodists
withdrew, has at last trlumphed, the
progressive spirit Of the present age
having come up to the stand taken
forty years ago by the Radicals, as
they were at the time called by those
who differed with them on this quns-
ton, The mother Church having
adopted all these contested points,
there can be no reason why they
should not come together again III
Christian and fraternal union
The other great question of diff
ference (slaycry) has passed away,
and should now be regarded as a
dead issue. 1t is one on which
politicians may keep mp a contest
and manifest bitterness OF spirit,
but professors Of religion ought to
he the first TO join hands in brother
" love, and to set an example for
the emulation Of those who are still
outside Of church organizations.-
The New York Methodist, in al
Iuding to the question Of union and
the grounds Of separation, says;
"They who went from us preach
the same word which we preach;
have the same evangelizing spirit;
use the same appliances anhrejoice
in the name which is common to us
all. In order to union no doctrlnal
disputes have to be composed-no
new definitions Of articles olfaith to
be made. We have only to forget
and forgive" :"
The PrcsbJ tcrians, as an exires-
sion Of joy and Thanksgiving over
their reunion, have resolved to dedi-
cate five millions Of their property
to the promotion ofCmistianity, and
we feel confident that before the close
Of the present year there will be a
grand jubilee in the Methodist
Church over q reunion that Will
prevent its energies from being i'm
paired and its resources and useful
ness wasted. When a Christian
Church stands divided and antag-
onistic over dead issues, we cannot
expect peace, harmony and good
fellowship among those who do not
profess to be governed by the teach
ing Of Christianity. Baltimore

The Coming Financial Embar-
rassment Of the State.


Auditor Goldman, in his able re-
port s! ows that on the 18th of NO
vember 1870, there will be but SO4,-
0S3. I3 in tbs General Revenue Fund
of the State TO meet the eXpendl'
lures of the first quarter OF 1871
which will amount to at least
S40p, 900, besides the repayment Of
$4,000 of a transfer to the gen
eral revenue fund authorized by the
late Democratic Legislature, making
about 100000 to be provided for
by increased taxation in 1870
This will require an increase OF J
Of Il mill to the rate oflevy torState
purposes. OF this state of affairs,
Auditor Goldman says:
"The embarrassment Of this fund
has been produced by the increased
expenses of the last two sessions
of the General Assembly, by the
addition Of eleven new judges to
the judicial forces of the State, by
the purchase of land and establish
ing thereon q Reform School for
Girls, the unusual expenses Of tray
cling committees of the Legisla-
ttre, and the extraordinary appro-
priations for miscellaneous purpo-
ses made at the last two sessions OF
the General Assembly,
The Sinking Fund has been tenn
porurily,depleted in two ways-lst,
by reducing the levy in its favor
from one and two-tcnths Of a mill
to seven. tcnths of a mill and, I'd,
by temporary transfers to the Cen
eraI Revenue Fund The last can
and will be repaired by repayment
of the sums transferred; bit the
first (the reduction Of the levy will
occasion a serious loss to the peo-
pie, by compelling them to pay a
large amount Of interest for sever
al years on $570,000 Of the public
debt, that would otherwise have
been paid in the year 1870.

HDemoeratic triumph.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, who is behind
the scenes at the federal capitol, gives
the following account of the confirma-
ton of Akerman:
Contrary to public expectation, and
greatly to the dissatisfaction of many
Republican members of the House, Aker-
man, the new Attorney General, was
confirmed by the Senate. g.
The confirmation, it appears, was car
ried in session ofless than three min
utes, and when the nomination was re,
ported by Mr.. Trumbull, without any re-
commentator, the Senate was more
than ordinary full. The Vice Presi,
dent asked if there was any objection
to its consideration, and Mr. Fowler, in
a loud tone of voice, said u object"
Then, as one objection would throw il
over for one day, the Senators commenc
ed to leave, and Fowler, watching his
chance, withdrew his objection, and nc
other made any, the confirmation was al
once chronicled. .-. o.,
The democrats are highly elated and
consider this their greatest victory o
the winter campaign. There seems t.
be no disposition upon the part Of any
Senator to try to get reconsideration
Mr.. Akerman arrived here about three
hours after this confirmation, and to
night called upon the President to THANH
him for the distinction he had conferred
upon him.

Revolution Threatened by Senator
Drake.

The desperate and revolutionary de-
signs of the Radical party are clearly
indicated by the savage remark ofSena-
tor DRAKE last Saturday, when, in
speaking OF the alleged election frauds
in New York, he predicted general
civil war ascertain" if the candidate for
the next Presidency should be elected
by such another fraudulent vote in that
State.
If such an utterance as this were
made by any member Of the Democratic
party, or by any rebel, it would be at
once chronicled as treason, but coming
from the lips of such a black mouthed
Republican as DRAKE, it will pass with
his revolutionary party as simply test
of true orthodoxy. When the Radi-
Gals wanted to increase their numbers in
the Senate to a two-thirds vote, they
proceeded at once to expel aSenator from
New Jersey and exclude two from
Georgia and two from some other State;
and to admit two or more States without
the necessary population to entitle them
to admission. And when the House
wants TO accomplish the same result
the dominant party proceeds to cX-
clude every Democrat and to adj
nit every Radical contestant that is
necessary to accomplish their devilish
purposes. This is what the Radicals
did III both Houses to impeach Presi-
dent JOHNSON and to pass the recon
struction bills over his vetoes; and now
when public sentiment begins to run
dangerously against their future success
the arrogant DKAKE threatens the peo-
ple with revolution and violence if they
succeed in expelling the Republicans
from power in the next Presidential
election AS for his talk about fraud
in the New York elections or any other
election, it is simply bosh, He means
10 assert anything as fraud where the
Democrats succeed in defeating the
Radicals; and havingal the power and
all the money in their hands their des-
perate purpose is already fixed to carry
tho neyt Presidential elnction nv rOr-
ruption if they can and bv violence if
necessary.
The Democrats and Conservatives Of
the country should at once take warn
ing from this declaration Of the tyrant
DRAKE and prepare to crush them with
such an overwhelming vote as will defy
both their threats and their violence.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1870-06-28

shows clearly that the compromise
consists only of an evasion OF the whole
question. To satisfy the "let-up" wing,
the resolution simply endorses the action
of the Legislature, and to conciliate the
"bitter-enders, itleaves every member Of
the party free to think, speak and vote"
as he pleases. That is to say, there is
no endorsement of the FLICK amend
ment intended, and every member OF
the party and the party itself is left free
to reject that amendment at the next
meeting of the Legislature, and they
will do it if they succeed in retaining
power!
We are particular in exposing this
hypocritical and fraudulent resolution
of the Radical Convention, because it
was designed to heal serious breach in
the ranks of that party at the expense
of the rights and liberties of our people.
For its leaders knew very well that to
have declared openly against any
change in our constitution or registra,
ton law would have exposed them to
certain defeat, while to leave the party
untrammelled upon that vitality impor'
tant subject and free to "think, speak
and vote" for themselves would give
them all manner of room for practicing
falsehood deception and fraud upon the
people.

Address 10 the American People.

We publish this morning an import
ant address of the Democratic Senators
ana Representatives in Congress to the
people of the United States, and CON-
mend it to the careful attention of our
friends in this State The time has
come for some Radical change in the
administration of our Government, if
we do not wish to see.our country DRIFT
very speedily into military despotism and
universal bankruptcy. This short address
from Washington is not alone to the
Democracy of the country, but to the
friends Of constitutional, economical
and honest government in every State
of the Union, and appeals alike to men
of all past political alliances to come to
the rescue of their country from the
hands of the political Vandalls who
now revel in the once conse-
Grated halls of constitutional lib
erty. Old Wings, Democrats, Con
servatives and moderate Republicans
can respond to this call and join hands
in the coming struggle for the restora-
ton OF constitutional law, liberty and
right. The appeal which the address
makes to our Southern brethren is eX-
cellent, and cannot fail to be respected
in that quarter. In this State our
friends can send AZ least two good mem
bers 70 he House Of Representatives,
and by proper industry and determine
ton can add one Senator TO the list OF
our victorious column. There must be
no lack. of energy and unanimity in re-
gard to this important matter, and the
sooner our friends move in solid column
to battle the better.
