The White and the Colorcd MethOdists

The African Methodist Episcopal Zion
Church is threatened with u schism grow
ing out of the question of union with the
Methodist Episcopal Church. II appears
that the white Methodists are willing to
receive their colored brethren on terms of
perfect equality, while the majority OF the
latter object 10 nu aiiiliation.
At the African Methodist Zion Confer
ence i'm 1868, the feeling among the brethren
appeared to be unanimous for union. and
a commission was appointed TO treat with
a commission of the Methodist General
Conference. The two commissions met IN
Philadelphia and ngreed upon certain stip-
ulations, the first of which provided that
the Zion Methodists should be received into
the Methodist Church on the basis Of alb
solute and unqualified ecclesiastical equali-
ty." The union was TO be completed I" so
soon rs the General Conferences should
ratify the terms of agreement In the
premises and the terms of agreement
should be carried out" In order to effect
this ratification the Zion General Confer
ence adjourned TO meet on the first We'd
| nesday in May, 1872, in New York city,
where its sessions would be convenient 10
| those of the Methodist General Conference,
| which is to assemble in Brooklyn on the
same date. The Board Of Bishops of the
African Zion Church have, however, since
| held meeting, and the majority have de-
| cided TO call their General Conference TO-
| gether at Charlotte, North Carolina, on the
| third "wednesday in June. This, Of course
| postpones any union Of the two churches.
While colored men everywhere are ask
| ing to have their claims 10 civil and even
social equality recognized and enforced by
| law, il Is strange thus to see Il colorcd re-
| ligious body, most of whose members are
| poor, and without the means to properly
educate their youth, refusing to join I
wealthy white denomination, PROCESSING
the same principles, and willing to receiv,
them on equal terms. II Is said that tn
more intelligent and better educated clerP!
among the Zion Methodist- are in favor o
the fusion, but "a crust of bread and lib
erty" seems to be- the motto of the ma
ionty.

River territory, and striking tho southern
branch OF the Saskatchewan about in lat
itude 63 deg. Thence II will proceed due
west and cross the Rocky Mountains
wherever practicable puSs can bc found,
after which il will turn northward again
10 avoid the great bend in the Columbia
River. Having got safely around that, IL
will strike southwardly and reach Puget
Sound i'm latitude 40 deg. so min, not far
north of the boundary line separating
Canada from the United states.
The length of the line from Lake Nip
issing to Puget Sound is estimated at two
thousand seven hundred miles, and along
the whole line there are not to-day more
than 10000 inhabitants. Nor is it possible
that there can over be II population whose
traffic would suffice to pay the expenses or
such u railroad, much less to render it
profitable. We dare say there is II great
deal Of habitablc land in British Columbia,
and that la the thousand miles distance be-
tween the Red River and the Rocky Noun
tains il Is possible TO cultivate considera-
BILE portion of the soil and to raise crops
there; but these crops must be mainly con-
fined To wheat, rye, and potatoes. More
over, in that high northern latitude
the cold is terrible in the winter
along the whole distance, and the
accumulation of snow will greatly ex-
coed anything that has been seen during
the past season on the line of the Union
Pacific, where traffic has been arrested for
five months together. How, then, can such
n railroad ever compete with the Northern
Pacific, the Union Pacific, and the South
oin Pacific for the transcoutineutal busi-
ness between Asia and Europe, which ii is
expected will yet he attracted this way Inc
question answers itself. The project of the
Canada Pacific Railway is one that might
possibly be realized If the British Govern
ment should undertake to furnish, or
rather to squander, all the money for its
construction, and TO pay its running ex-
penses afterward. But the Canadians will
not be willing to tax themselves for the
purpose. The capitalists foolish enough to
undertake such an enterprise will not he

Farm Labor in England.


Tho movement among the agricultural
laborcrs OF warwickshire continues to oc-
cupy largo share of public attention in
England, and the agitation is extending TO
other counties. Nee tings have been held
i'm buckingham hire, Norfolk, Dorsctshire,
and elsewhere and unions are forming in
all directions. The mechanics of London,
Birmingham, aud other cities have mani
fcsted their sympathy by public meetings,
and I'm the more substantial form of contri-
buttons of money.
A special meeting OF the Warwickshire
Chamber of Agriculture called to discuss
the labor question, was attended by the
leading lludownc. and tcndn, farmers of
the county, who all seemed fully impressed
with the Importance Of TIA, crisis. The tOno
Of the speakers was mod rate and conCiia-
tory, and measures were adopted to pro-
cure conference between properly mp
pointed repre- cntatiV Is of the landowners,
farmers, and luborcrs of South Warwick
shire. The most notable feature 1f the
proceeding. on this occasion, however, was
the advocacy, by the Earl Of DESB1GH, Of II
system which would give TO the agIicultu-
raj laborer share of the profits of his
labor The Earl said that such plan had
for years been in successful operation in
some parts OF Italy. There a man leases
land, selects the laborurs TO assist him in
cultiyating il, and agrees to allow them
certain share of the profits in lieu of wages.
Lord DENBrgH said there would doubt
less be some difficulty about the adoption
OF such n system OF cooperation, but he
thought IL possible TO put the expenses of
rent, taxes, interest of capital in stock aud
implements, ana the cost OF working the
farm, against the profits realized, and the
balance Of the profit would be the amount
to be divided. This system had worked so
well in Italy that hardly Il poor laborcr
could be found in the regions where il Is
applied, and why should IL not prove
equally. successful in England?
II will be seen that the system prop osed
by Lord DENBIGH il very similar to that
80 extensively adopted In the Southern
states in this country, Of working planta-
tions on shares. This plan has not proved
so successful in the South rs could be de-
sired; but it does not follow tnat IL Is not
adapted TO the present condition Of Eng
land where th1 agricultural laborcrs are
Of altogether q different class. In the South
The laboreIs are nearly all negroes who
Lave Just been libclutcd from slavery.
| la, ing always associated labor with bond
| age, il is hardly TO be expected that the
newly enfIanchised freedmen should at
once settle into habits of steady industry
In England all this is different Again, in
this country every able-bodicd man of or
binary industry may become the owner OF
"A farm. In England, owing TO the high
cost of land and the great expense attend
ing transfers Of real estate few poor men
can hope ever TO become landed propIie'
| tors, even on the smallest scale. The near
est approach TO an interest in the soil that
they could hope for would be afforded by

Cumulative voting in the London School
Board has not only efrectually prevented any
undue aggression on the part OF the majority,
but It has prevented either the majority or
minority from accomplishing anything whatever
For eighteen months the Board has spent Its
time In wrangllng, without coming to any con-
cluslon upon any subject. Its members have
failed to divide into any two parties, but have
formed dozen, each one insisting on its own
way, and succeeding In nothing. The Board
have not even been able to agree on a reading
book. No schools have been established, and
the ablest men In the Board have resigned In
disgust. II the majority plan Of voting had been
adopted, the strongest party would have carried

had the schools in operation. Minority repre-
