Methodist Conference Debnters,

After q session of five weeks the General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
will adjourn on Tuesday next. A large ma
jority of the delegates have never been in the
Supreme Council of the Methodist Church,
= and they have listened and learned during the
j. present session. Their voices have been rarely
heard except ct roll call or in privileged mo-
! tons and questions. The laymen are, of
{ course, entirely new. Many of these, however,
+ have taken prominent parts in the various
= subjects that have been discussed before the
: Conference. Foremost among the ministerial
; debaters stands the venerable DR.. Henry Slicer,
! of Baltimore, the steadfast friend of DR.. Lana
han, late an agent Of the Book Concern. His
shining and happy face, flowing white hair
and clear, fute-like voice promptly arrests
attention. He is full of mirth and humor,
which he unsparingly throws into his
speeches But while the delegates laugh at
his witticisms and applaud him, they rarely,
Hit, indeed, at all, vote for the side that he ad-
vocates. The Doctor has passed his allotted
+ three score years and ten, and is the oldest
5 effective minister in the Conference.
After DR.. Slicer may be named DR.. Curry,
: of New York, as q debater-not, indeed, sec
ond to any in abilities, but rather in years and
\ in the paucity of his words. Originally law
yer, he is thorough analyst in parlia-
mentary tactics and in theological and legisla-
: tive topics. He is quick to perceive point of
b strength or of weakness in proposition or an
argument, and his expose of it is equivalent
, in many cases, to its condemnation or ap-
rroval, as the case may be, by the Conference.
: As an editor of the Church paper, notwith-
standing he took the unpopular side on the lay
delegation question and maintained it with q
pertinacity worthy of better cause the Con-
ference testified its approval of his bold and
independent course by reelection, and also
Ed by adopting several measures which he had
advocated in his journal.
Opposed to Dr. Curry on almost every ques-
: ton is Rev. J. M. Buckley, of Brooklyn, q
much younger man, who also in earlier days
studied law, but left the bar for the pulpit
He has good analytical powers, very excellent
memory, clear and forcible method of stating
= case, and no lack of sarcastic wit to be used
against the side that he opposes. But his
arguments are not always very convincing to
his co-delegates.
Rev. DR.. Perrine. of Michigansscan hardly
T. be classed as debater, though no is a great
speech maker and thorough radical lie
: laws the axe ut the root of every measure, and
If he cannot trace it back to the apostolic days,
g or at least to John Wesley's times, its founda-
ton is sandy. and he opposes it on principle
Aud if the Conference will not listen to his
speeches he prints them in pamphlet or some

WE PUBLISH ir the HERALD to-day the COM

James Gordon Bennett and the sketches OF
his life given in some of their columns. We
reproduce the latter without any correction OF
the errors and inaccuracies incident to such

points are gathered. 1t is gratifying to note
how generously his contemporaries recognize
the valuable services rendered by Mr.. Bennett
to the cause Of journalism, and how cheerfully
they do justice to his energy enterprise and

acknowledgment of those who have been his
colaborers and competitors that he leaves the

The REVOLUTION IN MEXICO has apparently
received its finishing blow in the battle near
Monterey, as was foreshadowed by our special
dispatches yesterday. We give to-day the
latest telegram received from our correspond
ent in Camargo, announcing the utter defeat of
the revolutionists and the occupation of Monte
rey by the government troops under General
Corrella General Treviho, the revolutionary
commander, escaped, only with small guard,
toward the mountains. This is good news for
President Juarez, but the question whether the
downfall of the revolution will restore peace to
Mexico is open to grave doubt.

THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. st appears
that after all the efforts in Congress to adjourn
to-day, as had been determined some time ago,
or, at latest, on some day early in the week,
the adjournment is deferred till next Monday.
1t is doubtful if the session will end at that
time, though Congress has voted to adjourn
then, for the Philadelphia Convention will
cause recess, probably, and there is great
deal Of unfinished business to clear up. Some
Of the Senators and members anticipate a
longer session, or an extra session, and it is
possible the resolution fixing the 10th Of june
for adjournment may yet be rescinded.

Latest Phase OF 9Ae Trca
Difficulty.

Our latest news shows little prospect Of our
government and that of England coming to an
understanding with regard to the treaty diff
Guilty. Earl Granville, 1t seems insists upon
more explanations relative to the scope, mean
! ing and limitation of the Senate amendment to
the Supplemental Treaty; while, it is said, both
= the administration at Washington and Senators
are not disposed to take any further action in
! the matter. We are not informed as to what
] is meant precisely by the explanations re-
aquired; but suppose, from the general tenor Of
: the dispatches, both from London and Wash
ington, that the British government demands
Ia more explicit remuneration Of the indirect
4 claims. Members Of the Cabinet and leading
I administration Senators begin to be Indifferent
d about the treaty; and some even, it is said, do
: not hesitate to express the hope that it may
y fail It is thought, probably, that the whole
affair is SO muddled that another treaty or
amendment might be better made hereafter.
! This would accord with the advice we have
sgiven. The British government may have
/ some such idea, as it asks for time to consider
/ the last proposition Of the Senate, and as the
delay might lead to postponement of the
meeting Of the Geneva Board of Arbitration.
! It should be remembered that this Board
should meet on the 18th of this month, and
/ that, considering the few days intervening,
\ the press of business and political matters
upon the administration and Senate in the
meantime, as we'll as the difficulties in the way
sof coming to an understanding it appears
likely now that there will have to be new
diplomatic shuttle in the future. Earl Gran
! vile suggested treaty, to be ratified at once,
agreeing to adjourn the arbitration. 1t is too
I late for that now, and in any event it was
I scarcely likely to be acceded to- The simpler
: way seems to be recommendation by
i the two to the arbitrators themselves to-
postpone their offices in the matter. We
cannot tell what day may bring forth; but,
from present indications, the postponement of
10 settlement is probable. The experience of
the past will not be lost, and when negotia-
tons shall be resumed more ability and frank
ness may be shown and satisfactory result
,be reached

jersey CRY FRAUDS AND JERSEY JUSTICE. =
Tho trial of Bumsted, Walsh and vreeland for
conspiring to defraud the municipality of Jersey
City was brought to a close on Saturday, when
a verdict of guilty was brought in by the jury
against Bumsted and vreeland The speech
Of Attorney General Gilchrist was remarkably
able, and the charge of Judge Bedle to the jury
left the accused little room to hope Sentence
is reserved till next Saturday week. The pun.
ishment in such cases is imprisonment at hard
labor in the State Prison for two years and 0
fine Of five hundred dollars; and it is not i'm.
probable that the full penalty will be inflicted

other form, and places copy in every dele
gates hand, so that they may at least read his
words of wisdom.
Rev. James Lynch, of Mississippi, is o
coiored man, possessing fine natural gifts Of
oratory good reasoning powers and great
earnestness on matters in which his race and
people are Interested He has made but one
real speech before the General Conference,
and that was against the election of a colored
bishop and SO convincing were his arguments
that, as if by mutual consent, the matter was
allowed to drop.
Dr. A. J. Kynett, of Upper Iowa, Is greatly
interested in the extension and increase az
churches throughout the sparsely settled por-
tons of our country, and his speeches have
been mainly directed toward that end. He is
q tall man and has voice remarkable for it's
compass and clearness, and both of those
qualities command attention and help to carry
conviction.
Among the lay debaters most prominently
stands Judge McCalmont, of Erie, man Of
me stature and a very good parlamentarian.
Ihere IS huskiness in his speech and utter
ance which is not very agreeable, especially
when he becomes warmed in debate He
takes part in nearly every discussion and
offers excellent advice.
Judge Goodrich, of Chicago, is q man of few
words, but they are golden words They drop
wisdom and instruction, and after he has
spoken little more may be said. His long and
large experience in the law and his position in
the Church give him great weight with his COL
leagues and with the Conference.
Judge Cooley, of Upper Iowa, occasionally
enters the arena in debate and, like his legal
brother from Illinois, his speeches have con-
sentative tendency and tranquillizing effect.
His duties as one of the secretaries prevent
him, however, from taking prominent part in
the deliberations of the body.
Mr.. B. r. Bonner, of St. Louis, is one of the
|calmest and most discreet debaters in the Con-
ference, and very great weight is attached to
his sayings. He stands high among the Meth
odists of the Mississippi Valley and hence
more than merely personal influence. He has
displayed very excellent Judgment in his dis
cussion of every measure that has come before
the body, and SO impressed was the Conference
with his qualifications in this regard that he
was unanimously chosen chairman of its two
most important committees on Book Concern
matters. And this General Conference must
be convinced that the lay representatives are a
conservative and not radical element in its
midst, and one to be encouraged rather than
|opposed.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1872-06-03

law has been triied with and justice delayed!
Let us hope that Jersey will give an example
which will be initiated all over the Union, and
that New York will catch the contagion and
ALLOW the law to take its course. Corruption
in high places. unless promptly punished. will
accomplish the ruin of the republic.

any other government officials. It is only the
sore-headed ofice-seekers whose merits are
not recognized by the administration who are
constantly complaining of tho Presidents
nepotism. The President has shown his
readiness to turn adrift all incompetent and
unfaithful public officers no matter whose
family they may be connected with, and that
| is all the people desire to know. In
like manner the gifts bestowed upon the
General who saved the Union for forty
millions of people, and who protected every
loyal citizen in the enjoyment Of his property,
are regarded as rejecting honor alike upon
the donors and the recipient. They were the
offering of grateful hearts to one who merited
more from his fellow countrymen than wealth
could bestow upon him. If General Grant, on his
accession to political power, evinced his
friendliness towards those who had thus given
evidence of their appreciation of his gallant
services in the field, the American people will
applaud him for the act and not all the musty
authorities and WORKOUT platitudes that
even the Senatorial bookworm can
cite and utter will change their YER
dict. Gratitude may appear singular
quality in politician, but as General Grant is I
not politician he may be excused for possess !
ing it. The friends of the administration at \
Washington may at least rest assured that
Senator Summers attack upon the President
will do no harm to any person, unless, indeed,
it should unhappily prove the occasion of in
ficting upon us another batch of unnecessary
