LAY DELEGATION IN THE METHODIST
CHURCH.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

From the N. Y. Tribune ...H
The long and animated contest in the
Methodist Episcopal Church on the introduce
ton of lay delegation into the Quadrennial
General Conference was finally decided by the
vote, on Saturday last, of the East Maine An
nual Conference. The vote of this body, the
last in the United States before which the
subject had to be brought, swells the number
of ministers voting aye to the requisite three
fourths: 1906 ministers have now voted for
and 1884 against the proposed change. The
Mission Conference in Germany, which has
45 members, remains TO be heard from; but
as its total VOTE even if solidly cast against
laysdelegation, would still give to the oppo-
nents of the measure one vote less than one
fourth of the whole vote cast, lay delegation
may now be proclaimed as having been car
ried, and as being henceforth an integral
part of the economy of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
The struggle, which now belongs to the
past has been in some respects one of gene
raj interest 1t is a remarkable instance of
how the large Protestant denominations ac-
commodate themselves to the tendencies of
the age and the sentiments of the people
Methodism has grown strong in this country,
not only without recognizing in its church
constitution the principle of lay delegation,
but in spirit of decided opposition to it;
and it was one of the most effective
arguT ents of the opponents of change
that a system under which Episcopal
Methodism had within brief period become
the most numerous of the Protestant demo-
limitations ia the country should not be
abandoned for one whose efficacy had yet to
be tested. About forty years since the Church
consented to the withdrawal of large body
of members, who have since become known
as the Methodist Protestant Church, rather
than admit the laity to the councils of the
denomination. Some years ago q vote was
taken of both ministry and laity on the sub
ject, when il was found that decided ma
jority Of both were opposed to lay delegation.

BLOODY TALK OF PEACE.

From the NJ y World. Sd
High officials in Washington, it was re-
ported recently, confidently believed that
there would be no general Indian war. Com
missioner Parker and Secretary Bellknap
placed great hopes in an approaching confer
ence with Red Cloud. The American people,
while they are not apprehensive of general
massacre, do not perhaps share in their COM
placency. At all events, there came a stimuli
taneous report, by the way of Chicago, of
what our Western friends would call a very
satisfactory slaughter of savages in Wyoming
Territory; and pleasing warwhoop is
sounded by the dwellers in Iowa for Sheri-
dan and vengeance, the Ogallalahs
being npon them. incidentally it may
be mentioned that the same despatch
rounds itself up by chronieling the
murder of Mr.. David p Dudley, eight miles
from Kit Carson City Whether Commits
sioner Parker and Secretary Belkrap had
prior information of these amiable incidents
upon which they based their official assur-
ances, or whether they only made them out
of their superior knowledge of the propensity
of the Indian and the white man to exchange
blankets and eternal friendship, cannot Of
course be definitely known. In either case
the conclusion is q most pusillanimous one,
at variance with the sickeniRg fact that we
have had a very general Indian war in the
west lof the last twenty years, and are likely
to have until, in the interminable course of
squaw slaughter, the sources of Indian life
and Indian troubles are extirpated
With the affrighted citizens of Iowa calling
for Sheridan, and that ruthless agent of civili1
zation marshalling his Christian troopers in
the cause of retribution, it does not appear
TO the sensitive mind east of the Mississippi
that big palsver with Red Cloud and the
usual interchange of bronze medals and red
tape at Washington will do much to arrest
the acrimonious war of races which has been
raging over half the continent, to our dis
grace, ever since we set ourselves up as a
Christian nation.
The truth is that there has been at no time
within q year any danger of an Indian wal
other than that which has not been inter
mitted for decade, and which is merely the
strife OF an antagonism born of ignorance
and injury IN one party and antipathy and
seinshness In the other. With the troubles
growing out Of this anomalous condition of q
new country the Government of the United
States has dealt in q petty, vacillating, anC
often cruel spirit that would have disgraced
Territorial sheriff. 1t has been consisten
only in its determination, which il has neve
dared to acknowledge. 1t has undertaken Il

The turning Of the tide began in 1860, when
the friends of the reform, undaunted by
former defeats, began to call in the aid of the
press, and established the Methodist as the
struggle has been hard one, but il is now
over. In ten years they have revolutionized
the Methodist system of church government.
The presence of prominent laymen at the
next General Conference cannot fail to add
largely to the interest which the reading
public always take in church assemblies repre-
senting SO large portion Of the people. The
Methodist Church counts so many members
in the highest Offices of the Government and
the front ranks of society, that long array
of wellknown names may be expected in the
roll of the next conference

EMIGRATION-ALAR IN GERMANY.
From the N. Y. Sun Ha.
The total number of emigrants who arrived
at this port from Europe during last week
was 9O17.
Unless a white man is not equal to negro,
the value of this importation of brains, bone,
and muscle, computed on the worth
of Southern slave before the war,
increases the positive wealth of this country
by the enormous amount of over nine mil
lions of dollars within week.
OF this mass of 9O17 souls, no less than
2452 came from North Germany. This fact
alone is sufficient to account for the discredit
lately attempted to be thrown, nominally by
the managers of the Stock Exchanges of
Frankfort and Hamburg, but really by the
German Government, on certain American
securities.
That the rulers of Europe, who estimate
men and women of the working classes SIM
ply as producing and consuming machines,
should be appalled, by the remarkable extent
of the exodus from their dominions is natu-
raj But both labor and capital must find
the best market in free country. Ame-
rican stocks and bonds, based on good secu-
rites, are being rapidly absorbed in all the
money markets of Europe, simply in accord
ance with the immutable law that six per
cent. will attract more capital than three; and
no legislation can be ultimately effectual in
retaining labor in country where poverty is
the rule.
We understand that so alarmed has the
German Government lately become at the
possibility of having the rates of labor ma
terially increased by this rapid diminution
I of the supply, that bill will shortly be pre-
ssnted to the Chambers whose object is the
restriction of emigration by the imposition
of heavy tax on every subject leaving the
country. az, f-.r,sy Trf Lr. l..., Ir-Js-.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHRISTIANITY.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHRISTIANITY.
Ffonp the N. Y. Tribune.
The citizens of Randolph county, ILL.,, to
the number of one thousand, petitioned the
Constitutional Convention 'tin favor of the
recognition of Almighty God and the Chris
tian religion in the Constitution of the State;"
but the gentleman who presented the petition
declared that he did not agree with the petit
TONERS. Now, man may well have the
highest reverence for the Deity, and the most
abiding faith in the distinctive doctrines of
Christianity, and yet he may think it neither
proper nor to be desired that, upon purely
political document there should be ingrafted
declaration of religious belief There would
be no little indignation, and it would be just,
if any Legislature should declare the exist
ence of God and the truth of Christianity
by statute; indeed, there are those who would
feel that there would be in such legislation
SAVIOR of profanity; and yet we are unable to
see that there would be any difference be-
tween such a statute and q declaration of
faith in the fundamental secular law of the
State. There are, we know, State constitu-
tions containing such declarations; but in
almost every case the fact is unknown to the
people, and does not exercise the smallest
influence over their belief or their disbelief.
The truth is, that such political affirma-
tions of religious faith are not creditable to
Christianity, since they imply that it is weak
enough to need documentary evidence of this
kind; whereas, every church, every prayer,
every gathering together on the Lords Day,
is better affirmation of Christian truth than
any formal assertion put like purple patch
into State Constitution. Unquestionably,
Christianity is, and in some form will remain,
the religion of the land, as it is destined to be
the religion of the world. Its influence will
be felt, as it should be, in legislation; but we
60 af hat
not established specially for its support and
propagation; and that history is full of warn
ing against any union of Church and State.
If Christianity needed these quasi political
declarations, they might have our hearty ap-
proval. AS it is, out of respect for Christi
anity, we do not think that they are generally
desirable. ..f
