Determined Opposition to the Proposed
Taxation Of Church Property.
Among the amendments TO the New Jersey State
constitution suggested by the Governors Commits
sion is providing Tor the taxation Of all church
property. The matter is now before the Legisla-
ture, and meanwhile the Methodist clergy are de-
veloping most determined opposition to the
measure. A number OF them held a ting yes
terday in one Of the parlors OF ST. Paus church, in
Newark. The first business in order, after the usual
devotional exercises, the delivery OF vigorous
address IN favor OF the measure by layman, Mr..
L. Drake, who declared that the taxation of church
property was right; that the Church would do
wrong TO place Itself in position resisting taxa
ton on the plea that the Church was promoting
good order. intelligence ana good government;
that the Catholic Church paid its share OF taxes
as it was; that there was no good reason why
any other private property in Princeton; and,
finally, that in his opinion the Church should be
put in a position wnere 1t could stand up and say
1t was taxpayer, as no one thing retarded the
growth OF the Church so much as the non taxation
OF church property Strong GROUND was taken in

stituency. The proceedings closed by resolution
to print 5000 tracts Tor circulation In opposition
to the measure The New Jersey Historical So
ciety, the Presbytery Of New Brunswick and the
faculty OF Princeton College have all declared in
opposition also. One OF the most prominent lay
Methodists OF New Jersey, who Is In favor Of the

Confidence Game.

Confidence men are plenty at present
In Cairo, and they all seem to be doing
pretty fair business, considering the dull
times. Yesterday morning n confidence
man, named Vim. Richardson, met q
young man by the name Of VIM. Tracy,
and learning that he had fifty dollars,
made it point to strike up conversation
with him. After talking for some time,
Richardson limited to Tracy that if he
had thirty dollars in addition to five
which he already had, he could make a
nice thing out of it, for he knew just
where and how to go about 1t. Tracy
proposed to lend the money to Richard
son, provided he should receive an equal
share of the profits. OF course Richard
son did not want to use Mr.. Tracy's
money without paying him for it, and he
accepted the proposition of the latter gen.
tleman. When the money was safely
slowed away in his pocket, Richardson
had occasion to Ego and see a man.
telling Tracy that he would return in an
hour. With this he left, and has no
since been seen or heard of.
