On the first trial OF their strength, in o
question involving their rights and priv.
leges, the lay delegates to the general
Methodist Episcopal Conference in
Brooklyn, won decided victory. At
Fridays session q good deal Of debate
arose upon the proposition of Rev. DR..
Haven that the Committee Of Appeals,
whose duty it is to try clergymen, should
be composed Of clcrgymen alone. The
proposition was voted down by decided
majority, and subsequent motion to
allow any clergyman who objected to
trial by laymen to be tried by ministers
alone was laid on the table.

The Coming Pope.

Tie most likely successor to the
present Pope is Cardinal Antonio
Maria Panebianco, of the order of St.
Francis. He was born at Terrannova,
in Sicily, on the 18th Of August, 1903,
and was made Cardinal by Plus IN, in
the consistory of the eth of September
1861. He has always professod great
admiration for Pope Sixtus v, whose
life was his favorite study, and in
whose cell he lived. One day, while
in reverie, he suddenly heard a
knock at his door, and voice told
him that he would be Cardinal. This
announcement did not surprise him /;
he merely replied, "Lo sapevo," and
ne will, says the Ga=setta, doubtless
say the same when he learns that he
has been elected Pope. Cardinal
PanebiancO once swore before Con-
ova's monument to Clement XIV, that
he would restore the Order of the
jesuits to its former greatness; and
this is said to be the great object of
his life. He is the intimate friend of
Father. Bekx, the general of the order,
but, like bis model Sixtus v, he is
excessively reserved, carefully con.
cealing from every one his intentions
for the future. He praises the Sylla-
bus, and defends the principle Of in
fallibility with extraordinary skill and
theological knowledge. As for Plus
TX, he has thorough beliefiu the Car
dinal since a Young Italian girl pro-
phesied some twenty years ago that
the next Pope would be monk of the
order of St. Francis. Mystical" con-
cludes the Gassetta, "as Sayoparola,
Panebianco is the slave of a medieval
Utopia which moves him to revive the
Church, Of tue thirteenth century and
the Society OF Jesns, which does not
believe i'll mysticism, regards him with
anxiety, not quite knowing whether
hei friend oran enemy."-[Gazzetta

4 Touching Incident.

A recent sketch Of the lives of great
lawyers contains this touching Incl
dent in the life of William Writ:
II his younger days he was a victim
to that passion for intoxicating drinks
which has been the bane of so MANY
distinguished in the legal profession.
Affianced to beautiful and accom-
plished young woman, he had made
and broken repeated pledges of amend
ment, and she, after patiently and
kindly enduring his disgraceful babit.
had at length dismissed him, deeming
him incorrigible. Their next meeting
after his dismissal vas in a public
street in the city of Richmond. Writ
lay drunk and asleep on the sidewalk
on hot summer day, tho rays of the
sun pouring down on his uncovered
head, and the flies crawling over his
swollen features. As the young lady
approached in her walk, her attention
was attracted by the spectacle, strange
to her eyes, but, alas! so common to
Others who knew the victim as to at
tract little remark. She did not at
first recognize the sleeper, and was
about to hasten on, when she was led
by one of those impulses which form
the turning points in human lives to
scrntinize his features. What was her
emotion when she recognized in him
her discarded lover! She drew forth
her handkerchief and carefully spread
it over his face and hurried away
Wher Writ came to himself he found
the handkerchief, and in ono corner
the initials Of the beloved name. With
a heart almost breaking with grief and
remorse, he made new VOW of refor-
nation. He kept that vow, and he
married the owner of the handker-
chief.

the same oath which we all had taken
on entering the order ii. e.) not

THE LIBERAL PLATFORM.

We, the Liberal Party of tho Stat
of Louisiana in Convention assembled
hereby proclaim aud adopt the TO
lowing as our platform Of principles
essential to the redemption of our be
loved State from the evils of misgov
ernment, and tending to the restora
sion of just, wise and patriotic rule
the vindication of the rights of til
sovereign people.
J. We recognize the platform of tn
Cincinnati Convention of the Liberia
Republicans, as ratified and indorset
by the National Democratic Conven
ton, as eminen;ly judicious and repre-
senting the sympathies and needs o
our State and country, and We recog
nize IN the national standard bearer!
of the great Peoples Party, Horace
Greeley and Benjamin Gratz Brown
men of sterling worth, capable of res,
toring the government to the simplci.
ty and purity of its earlier years, when
Washington, Adams and Jefferson, Were
guardians of eur liberties. We there.
fore pledge them our undivided and
earnest support.
2. We recognize the political and
civil rights of all men, and pledge our
selves to maintain them, and we in
vite all mea, without regard to past
political differences, to unite with Us
in our honest effort to accomplish such
salutary reforms as are now or may be
demanded by the people.
3. We demand that our State gov
eminent shall be administered Justly
and economically; and to that end we
pledge ourselves to the abolition of
useless offices, the reduction of exorbi-
tant salaries of officials, the early re-
demption of the legal obligations of the
State and the reduction of taxation as
speedily as possible.
!. We demand that laws shall be
enacted for the punishment of bribery,
and That the powers of the executive
be diminished, being inconsistent with
republican institutions, and subversiye
of the wishes of the people.
5 Recognizing public education as
an imperative necessity and guardian
of CIR liberties, we pledge ourselves to
maintain a generous and bene6cent
free school system, which shall be ex-
tended to every portion of the State,
and embrace in its privileges the chill
dren of all classes, and we shall de-
mead strict economy and perform

A CHARACTER" FOR GENERAL
D1x.-The New York Tribune furnishes
the following certificate of character
for General Dix:
General Dix entered political life as
a supporter of Adams and Clay. They
were beaten, and he promptly went
over to the Jackson party, where he
was presently provided with an Office.
He chung to that party till the last
hour, when it fell from power with
Buchanan. Then he as promptly ad
hered to the republicans, and was soon
quartered afresh in the Treasury. He
never yet deserted party while it had
control of the Treasury. It will not
be time for him to join the liberals un-
til next March.
