Committee, which fortunately was largely
composed of members from States which
would gain a member by the bill. II thus
secured attention, and eventually favora-
BILE report from the committee. But the
temper of the House was averse to OPEN
ing the apportionment AFTER II had been
once settled, and Il was soon found that the
only hope of the bill was in getting mem
bers interested in 1t by personal influence
aud argument. To this end Mr.. Willard la
bored persstently. Mr.. Poland gave the
important assistance which his popularity
and influence among the Representatives
enabled him to render. Mr.. Smith also
felt strong and hopeful interest in the
bill, ard did what he could when in Wash
ington. The bill passed the House finally.
without debate, by strong majority. In
the Senate, Mr.. Edmunds took charge of
II, but argued the question in conversation
with senators, till majority for IL was Sc.
cured. II was thus the bill was finally
carried. To the result all of our Vermont
delegation contributed, though not all in
equal degree, and all in proportion to their
share in the work should share in the cred
it of securing our State from the loss of
third of its representation.

GR.s.vY .s.vD WILSON.

The work at Philadelphia Is complete.
Never were the principles, the intelligence
and the strength of the Republican party
better represented in council, and never
were the results accomplished more in ac-
cordance with the requirements and the
desires of the people who compose the rank
and file of that party. The nomination of
L. S. Grant as President Ivy the unprece-
dented endorsement of every vote from the
entire Union of thrty-seven states and six
territories, without single dissenting voice
from the seven hundred and fiity-two dele
gates, is most remarkable and significant
Renaissance when taken in connection
with the sweeping accusations brought
against him by the leaders of the Cincin-
natl movement and the bold and bitter de-
nuncialions of Charles Sumner. What is
the meaning of it7 Have the intelligent
masses of the country who compose the
Republican party become the willing sla-
YES of military leader, who having been
elevated to power by their ballots now
turns to rule the nation by the force of that
power through the use of corrupt means
and by the aid ola subsidized constituency?
II S'' 'hNii has ouHh "
lower depth of degradation and infamy
than did France at the feet of Louis Napo-
leon. Has our President proved himself
incompetent TO perform his duties, narrow
minded, seli-opinionated, deceitful, cor
rupt? Such is The declaration and such the
prete nded belief OF some who have labored
to defeat his re- denomination and the action
of the Philadelphia convention is the re-
sponse which the people give TO that ac-
cusation. Let him condemn and repudiate
the popular judgment who may, the tri-
umphant re. election of President Grant In
November scarcely admits of reasonable
doubt, whatever may I've the final policy of
the opposition.
As the associate of Gen. Grant, Henry
Wilson of Massachusetts is every way
worthy. Unsullied in character and in re-
cord, strong in honesty, integrity, and love
of liberty, no more fitting or popular candi-
date for the Vice Presidency could have
been selected. His name will prove a
tower of strength, not only in New Eng
land but throughout the West and South
as well and should he ever be called upon
10 administer the affairs of the nation, the
party which made such administration
possible will have no occasion for self-re-
proach. Three cheers for Grant and Will

The Free Press. In speaking of the seryi-
ees rendered In procuring the passage of
supplemental apportionmentb bill where
by Vermont keeps her number of Con-
gressmen good, says:
Tho Press of our State have very general
ly given cordial recognition of the services
of Mr.. willard, who introduced the bill
and took the chief laboring oar in securing
its passage. Perhaps some others of the
Vermont delegation, who also rendered eff
ticlent service TO the same end, have hard
ly had such mention as they deserved. We
have gathered from the record and other
sources of information the following facts !:
The plan OF securing third member for
Vermont, by increasing by nine the total
number of members as fixed by the orig
inal apportionment bill, was first sug-
gested by Judge Poland. Mr.. Poland
proposed 1t in the form of an amendment
to the original bill, and supported it in a
1--WE minutes speech, which was all the
time ne was allowed. The bearings of the
amendment were probably not all under
stood by the House, in the hasty discus
sion given to 1t, and II was voted down. A
similar amendment was offered in the
Senate by Mr.. Morrill,, and was voted
down there, although both our Senators
showed in clear and forcible speeches the
injustice done TO our State in the appor-
tionment. After the passage of the bill,
our three representatives, consulted togeth-
err on what measures could be taken to
still secure TO our State her three mem

THE .uETHODEST GENE
CO.rFBR.f.vCR.

This body closed its quadrennial session
Tuesday June 4. The composition and
work of this chief assembly of the NJ. f.
church make it worthy of more than cas-
ual notice.
For the first time the aymen had voice
and vote in the legislation of this Church.
And the elastic easily adjustable machinery
of Methodisn worked very naturally with
this new wheel added. Ministers and lay
men not only sung and prayed, but they
del LIBERATED and voted As one body. And
the sons of color and of slavery were there
in freedom and in the fellowship and es-
TEEN of their white brethren. Among the
best speeches were those made by Cordozo
of South Carolina and Lynch of MISSISSIPPI
pi. Probably 10 General Conference for
twenty eight years has been so important.
The memorable Book concern troubles took
up much of the time. The conclusions
reached in this matter were that the
agents have been honorable and Just
hat in the Bindery department frauds had
been perpetrated and losses sustained
that the business members of the concern
had not in past years been sufficiently
guarded that the concern Is financially
sound. The guilty man in the Bindery de-
partment is not a member OF the NJ. T..
church, and more than year ago he was
dismissed. New men have been put in
charge of the concern-Rev. r. Nelson and
J. NJ. Phillips, Esq. Mr.. Phillips is
business man with considerable experience
in the kind of work which this calls him
to. We congratulate the NJ. +. church on
this new and wise departure of putting
business laymen into its business posi-
tons.
Eight new bishops were chosen. Thos.
Bowman, VIM. l.. Harris, r. 5. Foster, |.

Heretofore Methodist Bishops have cho-
sen their own places of residence. These
men are instructed TO reside -one al Bos-
ton, one at st. Paul, one ut st. Louis, one
at San Francisco, one at Atlanta, one at
Omaha or Council Bluffs, one at Cincinnati,
and one at Chicago.
Heretofore the Book concern has paid
the salaries and travelling expenses OF the
Bishops. Now they are to be supported by

rern to cheaper its publications and make
