INTERN .1iONAL METHODIST CON
FERENCE.

The Ecumcnical Council uf the Meth
dist denominations Of the world, which
met in London on the 7th inst, is largely
attended by representatives of the vari-
Gus branches Of Methodsm in the world
and premises to be a most interesting
and important gathering for the inter-
eats of that sect. The conference con-
sists of 400 members, divided equally
between the American and European
sections, and beineen the ministry and
the laity OF the American delegates
the southern aud northern churches send
lis, the colored Mcthodists %, the Ca

OF the non American delegates the Wes-

Bishop Simpson, of America, preached
the Introductory sermon, and fervent
prayers for the recovery Of President
Garfield were offered up. 1t was decid-

THE NEW YORK SENATOR'S.

1t is very generally thought that the
United States Senate will refuse to ad-
nit Miller and Lapham, the new Scna.
tors from New York, until the charges
OF bribery of the members Of the I.egis-
lature during the ballotings for Senator'S
is investigated This will consume some
time and in the interim President pro
tempore will, if occasion permit, be se-
lected from among the Democrats. Sen
tor Bayard will most likely be the Dem
ocrat selected, and the party will do
itself honor in his promotion. There
seems to be absolutely TO concurrence
from the Democratic members with Sem
ator BecE's proposition to elect mode
rate Republican, like Senator Anthony
OF Rhode Island, for the sake Of harmo.
ny. There is no course consistent with
wisdom and duty for the Democrats
except to investigate the manner of the
election of Lapham and Miller, and if
it should appear that they were elected
by Legislature which had been bribed
against the stalwarts, they should not
be admitted to seats in the Senate. Du.
ring this investigation the Senate cannot
consistently with its own dignity post
pone organization, and when it comes to
organize it would be the grossest political
cowardice for it to yield the Offices to the
Republicans. If President Garfield
phould die the election of presiding of.
fcer would be the first work before the
Senate, after swearing in the new mem
hers. The seats ofthc New York Senators
could not be taken during the inves,iga-
ton into their election, and therefore or
ganization would proceed without them.
If Gen. ArlLur should not become Pres
ident, he would preside over the Senate,
and might for time defeat the election
Of President pro tempo,r, but little
nerve on the part Of the Democratic Sem
ators will give them control of the officers
of the Senate for another term Of two

Among our other troubles it is en-
nounced that the crop of growing hogs a
twenty five per cent. less than last year
and consequently the price Of meat will
be about thirty per cent. higher than this
year. The way to remedy that is TO con-
sume less meat. As general thing per-
sons Use more hog meat than coDduces to
health. Pay more attention to milk and
butter, and raise more poultry and keep
the beef of the country at home, and we
will live better on three. quarters of our
present pork supply than we now do on

A Shot at Gulteau.

WAsHISGToN. September L.
At seven O'Clock Sunday evening an at
temp: was made to kill Guiteau in his cell.
At that hour Battery B Second artillery,
Was relieving Captain Graves command,
which had been on duty at the Jail the pre-
vious twenty-f,ur hours. The battery ar
rived in their wagons. in the first OF
which was stated First Sergeant Mason.
as the wagon drew up in front OF the
Jail Mason Jumped out. threw his
cap aside, and. with musket on hi.
shoulder. proceeded Id the right wing of the
Jail. A few seconds brought him abreast u
the window through which Giteau had
been often seen. Putting his gun to his
shoulder, the clear report which rang
through the Jail told the story Of his inten-
,ioi aud nct. The ball grazed Guteau's $
lea'. and penetrated his coat, which was
hanging OH the side OF the cell.
Sergeant Mason surrendered himself to
his commanding officer, Captain McGilvery,
who immediately put min under arrest.
Mason is u native o. Virginia, and has been
nineteen years in the service. He says lie
shot for the rurpnse Of killing Guiteau. and
is sorry he missed him. He had tired of
riding over the cobbe stones to jail eyery
day to guard the life of such n man as
Guteau. He made up his mind to kill
him. He loaded his gun before he left tn G
arsenal. and soon rs he reached the Jail he
went to the window where Cuitcau usually
stands, and gaping for the arrival of the
guard. That he fired, and that is all there
is about it.
Gu'tcau was overcome with fear, aud he
pleaded for removal TO another part of the
building. HIS request will probably be
granted.
