Liverpool, Odessa, and other
grain marts in Europe, is much
greater than in January Of last
year, and that wheat is reaching
the market from localities whence
none was expected. The ring
still holds it's wheat at prices which
it cannot be proftably shipped
abroad, and the crop in this coun-
try last year was so large that they
have not been able, as they ex-
pected, to control the market, and
prices are dropping in spite Of all
their efforts to keep them up.
During the past two weeks there
has been an average decline in
prices of about twelve cents per
bushel. Since the spectators
have attempted to corner the
market, thereis no telling how
the prices may go

In accordance with a resolution
adopted at the General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in session at Baltimore in 1876,
there are steps now being taken to
hold an Ecumenical Council of
Methodism at place and date yet
to be named The resolution di-
rected the Bishops of the Church
to appoint committee to take the
subject of an Ecumenical Council
into consideration, to correspond
with the different Methodist bodies
in every part of the world, and to
arrange for such a council, in or
der "to consider the topics relat-
ing to the position, work and re-
sponsibility of Methodism for the
worlds evangelization." The oh
ject of the movement is to consoi-
date the various interests of Meth
odism, establish fraternity and co
operation among it's branches md
to discuss the points of theology
and usages common to the whole
Church. The committee ordered
on the subject was appointed af-
terward by the Board of Bishops,
Bishop Simpson being selected as
chairman. The committee has
laid the matter of the proposed
Ecumenical Council before the re
preventative bodies of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, the
American Wesleyan Church, the
Evangelical Association, the Meth
odist Church and the Methodist
Episcopal Church of Canada, and
the Wesleyan Methodists of Great
Britain. As favorable responses

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

hAIAIG O1D ALQL0Lh LON'
We see from the New York pa
pers that there is some probabili-
ty of the agitation of the railroad
question in the. legislature of that
State. We will endeavor to keep
our readers informed upon any dis
cussions that may take place there
upon the subject. A bill has been
published which we presume will
be introduced in that body, some
what similar, we should Judge
from the comments we have seen
upon it, to that one known as the
johnson Bill before our West
Virginia Legislature last winter.
The New York Tribune is very Sc
we're upon certain provisions of it,
as can be seen by the following
extract from that paper:
Section 46prohibits and preference
of large shippers, which is as absurd
as if an act should prohibit Mr..
Thurber, or any other wholesale
merchant, from selling by the cargo
at a lower rate than by the pound.
Again, the bill requires the charge
of the same rate per ton per mile for
long or for short distances. This is
even less rational than the wild and
unpracticable measures which have
proved so injurious in some Western
States that a popular outcry for their
repeal has become far stronger than
the demand which prompted their
passage. Such provisions are so obvi-
ously contrary to public policy and
equal justice that it is hard to see
hyw any court can give them effect.

Col. Jake Jackson, of Parkers-
burg, is announced as q candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor. He is q first class man
for any position, and would make
a good Governor, but we had an
idea that his friends in the First
District were keeping him in train
ing for another tilt for Col. Ben.
Wilson's place. He seems to be
about the only man in the District
who could stand any show in a
fight with Col. Ben. But who
knows but that Col. Ben. is at the
bottom of the movement, and that
he has adopted this plan to get
Col Jake out of his way. Col
Ben. has a long head, and he is
as smart-if not little smarter
than the smartest of EN-.
