extracts from Governor Tilden's letter OF
acceptance cover all the important points
embraced In IL:
Federal taxes for the last eleven years
reach the gigantic sum Of $4,000. 00O. 900.
and local taxation has amounted TO two
thirds a. much more. The vast aggregate
IL no less than 81 500. 100000. This enor-
nous taxation which followed the civil
conflict has greatly impaired our aggre-
gate wealth. and has made q prompt re-
duction Of expenses Indispensable. II was
aggravated by tho moet unscientific and
iil-adIusted methods Of taxation. that in
creased the sacrifices Of the people far be-
yond the receipts Of the treasury. II was
aggravated by q financial policy which
tended to diminish the energy. skill and
economy OF production and the frugality
Of private consumption. and induced mis-
calculation In business and an unremun-
eratiye use OF capital and labor. even In
prosperous times. The daily wants OF in
dustrious communities press closely upon
their daily earnings, and the margin OF
possible national savings Ia az best but .
small percentage Of national earnings.
Yet now, for these eleven years. the Gov
eminent consumption has been larger than
the national earnings, larger than the
whole people could possibly save. ever in
PROSPEROUS times. The consequences OF
these errors are now a public calamity ;
but they were never doubtful. never IN
visible: they were necessary and inevlta-
BILE. and were foreseen and depleted when
the waves OF That fictitious prosperity ran
highest. In . speech made by me on the
cath Of September, 1868. IT. was said oil
these taxes that they bore heavily upon
every mans income, upon every industry.
and upon every business in.the country.
and year by year they are destined 10 press
still more heavily unless the people arrest
the system that gives Use TO them. II was
quite easy when values were doubling
under repeated issues Of legal.tender paper

fecede and sink toward their natural scale.

HOUSE

Mr.. Hewitt introduced q bill in rela-
ton to savings .nks. 1t provides for
amending the revised statutes so that no
stamp tax shall be required on receipts to
savings banks or institutions for savings,
having no capital stock and doing no
other business than receiving deposits to
be loaned or invested for the sole bene.
fit of parties making such deposits with
out profit or compensation to the associa.
ton. Referred
The House then went into Committee
of the Whole on the postotfice appropria-
tion bill with Mr.. Springer in the chair,
and was addressed by Mr.. HOLMAN on
his motion. The item for the compensa-
tion of postmasters was increased from
$6,5OO,0 600 to $G,800,000
Mr.. Mutcher made point of order
on paragraph appropriating 81, ,6oO,OOO
for letter carriers, which contains pro-
visions abolishing the letter carrier sys-
tenn in all cit .es OF less than 10000 iahab
itants. He argued that the question OF
economy, as presented in the provision,
was one of argument and influence.
After long discussion, Mr.. Springer
(chirman) decided the point OF order.
He said that although two cities in his
own district would be effected by the
provision, he trusted he would be able to
divest himself of all personal consdera-
tion in deciding a question of so much
importance to a.great many cities. 1t
seemed plain to him that the abolition OF
an office was prima facie retrench-
ment OF expenditures, and therefore he
overruled the point of order.
Mr.. Mutchelr then moved to strike out
the provision abolishing the free deliv.
cry system in cities Of less that 10000 in.
habitants.
Without disposing of the question, the
committee rose and the House adjourned.

a,aut Powder Explosion.

New YORK, May 6.-Just before !
o'clock tonight, an explosion occurred in
the magazine of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Company
in which were stored the giant powder
and plycerine used for blasting in the
tunnel Just outside Of Jersey City. The
explosion aroused all New York, and in.
auiries showed that the buildings within
"A radius of two miles were more or less
damaged. In the absence OF knowledge
the cause is attributed to strike.
Over forty thousand people visited the
scene of the explosion in
Jersey City to day. The alb
sence of dangerous injury to any
person is something wonderful, when the
riddled residences in the neighborhood
are seen. The windows of all the houses
in the neighborbood Of the heights were
shattered. In several instances bricks
pierced the wooden structures, tearing 6
down ceilings. breaking window sashes.
and demolishing door posts. Doors
we're blown on their hinges, trees up
rooted, and whole masses of earth IN
front Of the powder magazine chiselled
cleanly out by the force oi the explosion.
Allthe street lamps and lights in houses
As far MS the New York ferries
were instantly put out, and but
for the clear moonlight the whole
of Jersey City and Hoboken would have
been enveloped IN complete darkness. a
number of houses nre so shattered that
they viii have TO be built. La this city
and Brooklyn the report was so loud that
every body supposed the explosion had
occurred in their immediate vicinity.
The police failed to trace anything that
leads to suppose the strikers were the
perpet ra,ors of the deed. The opinion is
becoming general that spontaneous com
bus,ion WAS the cause. No correct esti
mate OF the loss has been made, but the
first reports are likely exaggerated.

An EIopiaY Clergy the
Country Coming TO?

The Catlettsburg (ky.) Sentinel of the
9th ultimo says: at becomes our
painful duty to record the most az gra-
waited and humiliating case of clerical
apostasy which ever blackened the good
name OF this part of Kentucky. Rev.
l.. ID. Parker, ofthe Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Presiding Elder of the Ash
land district, and delegate elect to the
General Conference (now in session IN
Baltimore,) has abandoned his family,
and fled the country with Miss Trinvilla
Sweetnam, OF Louisa, Kentucky. Elder
Parker has been Presiding Elder of this
district for three years, residing part of
the time at Louisa, but for some time
past at Ashland, and at the recent ses-
sion Of the conference was returned to
the district. Miss Sweetnam is about Is
years of age, belongs toa good family,
and her father is, we learn, local min
lster in that church. The parties left
here by different boats, but both took the
same boat at Ashland, and were last
heard of at Cincinnati on the way to the
railroad depot, and said to be bonnd for
California"

Methodi.t General Conference

BALTIMORE, May 6.-1n the Metho.
dist Episcopal Conference to-day, Bishop
Hanes presiding, communications from
the Bishops was read expressive OF the
pleasure and qualification at the manner
in which fratornal messages had been re-
ceived by the General Conference South.
The paper was ordered published with
the address of the Bishop.
Rev. j. l.. Lanahan presented CON-
municatiou signed by certain ministers
in this city which was referred to the
COMMITTEES on Book Concern without be.
ing read.
A committee was appointed to prepare
succinct code of ecclesiastical jurispru-
dence and procedure embracing the gen.
eral principles applicable to the church
trials submitted by majority and minor
ity reports.
The hour for receiving fraternal mes
sages from the British Wesleyan Coz fer
ence having arrived, Rev. Pope,
professor of theology in Did bury Col
lege, Manchester, and Rev. James Har-
rison Rigg, president of the Westminster
Training College, London, were intro
duced, and the answer OF the British
Conference to the address of the General
Conference held in Brooklyn in 1872 was
presented and read. The answer is one
OF cordial fraterna greeting and encour.
agement, succinctly reviewing the great
work of the church, its steady progress
and rapid increase IN both hemispheres.
Professor Pope then addressed the
Conference.
Referring to the Centennial rs common
to the nation and Methodlsm in the
United Ststes, he said you and we are
alike generous and Christian enough to
rejoice together in the great event,
which hundred years ago displayed
the hand of providence in
making YOU an independent
people great in themselves, and strong In
the prophesy of larger greatness. We
know full well that no act Of indepeR-
dencr can make you in the deepest sense
independent of England. We hold you
by an indissolubie band. The blood in
your veins beats time to the pulsations
of our hearts. and ours beats time TO
yours; but after all your Centennial has
been fully shown TO be a religious festival
at the foot of the Heavenly throne
You are bent on superadding to
your national and civil rejoicing great
tribute to Him who took up your National
Independence into His counsel
for the govrnment of the
world. May He accept your
tributes and sanctify your national
wear to the increase of grace in your
hearts, households, ministry and COM
mon work. Rev. DR.. Rigg followed
in an interesting and able speech, after
which, the conference adjourned.
