AT the Methodist Preachers meeting,
held yesterday at the Book Concern, the
Rev. Thomas Lee presented the follow
ing paper, which, on motion of Rev. DR..
Payne, was laid OH the table Tor future
discussion:
"Having read in the secular papers an
account OF the proceedings of a meeting
of Methodist ministers, lately beid in the
city of Boston, relating to the nomina-
tion Of President Grant for third term
for the Presidency OF the United States,
and having learned with regret that
Bishop Gilbert Haven made himself es-
pecially prominent in the matter
"Resolved, That without expressing
any opinion on the third term movement,
il is our deliberate judgment that our
respected Bishop Haven aud the minis
try Of the Boston meeting referred to
were guilty of a very grave error by thus
publicly committing themselves before
the people TO political action in this mat
ter.
Resolved, That as ministers Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, we are un-
alterably opposed to any interference by
ecclesiastical bodies with the politics ol
the country"

years run riot over that island, to the
great detriment Of American interests,
and to the outrage Of humanity. The
President's recent Message has called
forth an expression OF sentiment in Eng
land looking to precisely the same issue
to which we directed the public atten
ton. The London Times Of the 9th, in
an editorial on the Message, says:
'If Spain can not suppress the Cuban rebels,
II the island must be half ruined while she
holds it. II she will not put an end to the insti-
tuition which is the main source of disturbance,

The reports just issued from the De-
partment Of Agriculture for November
and December, show that the aggregate
Of crops for the present year is unusually
large. The corn crop is the largest ever
grown in the country. But the quality
is not so good as in 1874. The cotton
yield will probably exceed 1900, 900 bales,
which has been heretofore regarded as
the maximum of this country's product.
The tobacco crop is reported 75 per- cent.
greater than last year. Nebraska is
taking high rank as tobacco State. Its
yield this year is reported as very large.

me letter which he had received from
Colonel Hallam, in which that worthy
gentleman expressed his deepest sympa-
thy. The letter went on to say that the
writer had adjusted matters at home as
delicately as he could; and that, had he
for moment supposed that Mr.: Farrars
had mistaken his wife for his daughter,
his friend should have spared the unfor-
tunate denouement in the drawing-room:
The occurrence which so nearly cost
him his life was never again reverted TO

seems quite contented with his bachelor

Bishop Haven's third-term nomination
OF General Grant is acting upon the poll
ticians like galyanic shock upon the
nerves of a dead frog. The spasm is
sudden. The convulsions are start
ling. To be sure, there is not the
sign of possibility that this Episcopal
utterance from the good Methodist di-
vine can have the slightest tendency to-
wards bringing this defunct thing to life
again; but then it makes IL kick, you
see. 1t is therefore interesting as an
experiment in political galvanism.
BY its application spasmodic
convulsions are produced. thus
showing to the satisfaction OF scientific
curio sity that, though really dead, the
sensitive political nerve of third-term-
ism has not yet entirely lost its excl
liability; especially when the electric
force is applied through the medium of
conductor as powerful as a Methodist
Bishop.
But, no Amatter what may be the eff
forts at resuscitaAacn, the fact Is that
Julius Casar, with his thirty two mortal
wounds upon hin, is not more thor
oughly dead thanis this moribund SUBJ
ject of third-termism; and any
attempt at it's resurrection
by any Bishop Of any Church.
whether Protestant, Catholic, or Mor-
mon, whether OF the regular Apostolic
succession or ofthe roundabout Arian
heresy, will prove sorrowful waste Of
the divine episcopal affiatus. The People
have already held Coroners inquest
upon the remains, and pronounced it a
case OF death by suicide while in state
of temporary delirium.
AS to Bishop Haven's utterance on the
subject, Rev. pr. Payne pronounced the
true verdict on the whole matter when
he called it a tempest in teapot. And
that is all there -is Of 1t. These spasms
are bull its post-mortem commissions un.

yanic shock proceeding from Method

at the unexpected result.

evidence that there was some feeling on
the subject, and as might be expected the
meeting was marked by heated discussions
and not little confusion. In the absence
of the Town Clerk the meeting was call
ed to order by G. W. King of the board
of Selectmen, and Chester Thomas was
subsequently chosen Moderator and c. W.
King Town Clerk pro TEN. DR.. III. A.
Cutting addressed the meeting in favor Of
Issuing the bonds at once taking the
ground that the town was under obliga-
tisn to do so. The contract was entered
into when it WAS very dou1s:ul il the Z
G. & NJ. r. r. would be built where it
now is, and the people Of Lunenburg felt
that it would be profitable investment.
When it was found that the B, G. &. NJ.
road was to be extended many felt that
there was no necessity for the action they
had taken, and he had hoped that it might
turn out that they were not bound to issue
the bonds. H0 had consulted the best
authority in the State of Vermont and
taken especial pains to inform himself
concerning the acts of the Legislature
relating to this road and the statute un
der which the contract was made, and
was forced to conclude that there was no
way by which the issuing of the bonds
could legally be avoided. Hon. Jonah
Brooks spoke in opposition to the posi-
tion of Dr.. Cutting declaring that the
whole thing was based upon fraud and
injustice. He was opposed to having the
town issue its bonds, and claimed that
they could not legally be compelled to do
so. The meeting finally adjourned with
out taking vote, to meet again on the
afternoon of November 9th.
