PREACHERS MEETING.

The Preachers Meeting, this morning
was opened with devotional exercises by
Elder Quigg. Miscellaneous matters
were disposed of, when Elder Quige
then said If he remembered rightly one
of the Bishops told him case had been
settled by the highest court in the coun-
try, that the quarterly Conference was
the church. Many things are done by
the official members that have no author
Ity at all. Bro. Mann paid his respects
to communication that appeared in the
Ra9ublicdn of last week which he con-
slider disgrace to the writer. He also
said the, board of stewards have ne au-
thority of law unless they are called
together by the pastor. Without him
they have no power, their action is void.
A. d. Davis desired this discussion
should 60 on, as he has been brighteh>
ed up himself In some of the churches
the board of Trustees and Board Of
Stewards we assure the preachers have
no rights, and there are some of these
churches not hundred miles from wills
mington. These boards fix on a man
and they say they must have him or
nobody, ignoring the quarterly confer
ence which is the real body that should
be respected.
He thought the appointments should
be left to the Elder Bishop, and the Lord
make the appointments without these
other boards.
Bro. Houston who was to open the dis>
cusslon came in at this juncture and Bro.
DAVIS gave way to him.
The Rev. gentlemen desired all to re
member that he is not mad when he was
awaked to what seemed to be excitement
when it was impeious to be quiet. His
remark was written down. He paid es
pecial attention to the temperance cause
in this city. Mr.. butchers speech was
read, in which he says what has been
given, was given in free heart and it
was received IN the same. He then paid
his respects to dress. He said ministers
ought to preach piety. And, that the ser
want girl should be taught that she must
not expect to dress as her mistress, it
was out of place, for servants to do such
things. He said many inimitable things;
he is to have the floor next Monday
morning TO continue the same question.
Adjourned.

sEAsoNABLE LEGISLATION.

The conclusions reached by the
"Tramp Convention" in Baltimore
are entitled to great respect on ac-
count of the high character of the
delegates and their familiarity with
all aspects of the subject under dis
cussion. The convention was called
by the Prisoners Aid Society, the
purpose of whose corporate existence
is to befriend the criminal and the
outcast, and to restore them to ways
of honesty and industry, Eminent
clergymen, jurists and philanthropy
lists were invited to be present, and
the meeting was one of the strongest
representations of those and other
good classes ever held in Maryland
If such a convention had leanings
and prejudioes, these would be sub
posed to be toward the tramps as an
abused and misunderstood race of
men. Ali that charity and kindness
could plead in his behalf might be
expected by the tramp from such a
body. He cannot complain that the
Convention did not give him q
fair show" for his case occupied their
time and thoughts for the best part of
two days.
The action which they finally
took was that to which all true
philanthropists and all upholders
of law and order have been for
ced in every country where the
tramp has been intelligently trea-
ted. Their object is, primarily,
the good of the tramp himself by
curing his vagrancy, and second
ly, the protection of the public
against him. This they would
accomplish in Maryland by the
adoption of law providing in
substance that all professional
tramps shall be arrested and sent
to work in the House of Correc-
ton. The effect oi such a statute,
if enfroced, would surely be to
keep these vagabonds out of
Maryland. This has been the
uniform operation of such a
system wherever int reduced in
the United States

How can Chamberlain hold on to
tho office of Governor in opposition
to the taxpayers and respectable
people all over the State, defentod
at tho polls and counted in by fraud,
and inaugurated by en- illegal Log
islature OF course he could not
remain q single hour in the Office
but for q bJdy-guard Of Federal
soldiers which President Grant
keeps around him. He cannot re-
main thus long. Deprived OF all
authority by the decision OF the
Supreme Court, as he will be, and
utterly dorided by the people, what
can he do? Ho can appeal to
President Grant, and what will
he do? If ho proceeds further to
bolster the illegal government he
encounters tho decisions of tho
courts and the public verdict in
many forms, and stands forth boldly
as tho usurpor still defying law and

ment. 1t would be well for this
