WE REGRET to notice that our es- teemed Bro. Gill, of the Atkins News, IS not entirely pleased with the re cent county convention, and regard his reflections thereon as not calcu- lated to promote harmony of feeling among democrats. In justice to the venerable presiding officer of the convention, we will say that if "dry bones' can rattle to the music of true democracy as lively as they did that day, the lst inst, then give the people of Pope more of the "dry hones' and plenty of them. Col. Barker filled the bill, as chairman of the convention, to the satifaction of the body. With all candor, and without fear of contradiction, we state that the convention of last Thursday was one of the best repre- sentative bodies we ever saw, and the proceedings throughout were characterized with the greatest har- mony and due regard for democrat- lc usage, Come, come, Bro Gill, let us take everything calmly, for all things cannot be done as each indi- yldual would wish.

German and Irish Immigrants.

Over 10000 immigrants landed at Castle Garden last week, bringing the score, since January lst, up to about 2l6,000. This is over 45,000 more than the total for the same pc riod of the hitherto unprecedented year 1881. The great and increas ing source of immigration is now Germany; whereas a recent parlia. mentary return shows that the i'm. migrants from Irish ports in 1881 were about 1000 fewer than in 1880. From 1852 to 1855 the number of emigrants, natives of Ireland, who left Irish ports, averaged l48,965 every year; from 1856 to 1866 it fell of to an average of SS,272; from 1866 to 1876 to an average of 74,667. In 1852 it had been 190,322, threaten ing the depopulation of the island; but in 1877 it had fallen to 5,503 Then it began to increase, year by year, as times grew prosperous here until in 1880 it had reached 95,577 Then came another turn, and 6 strange one; for while our genera immigration continued to increase Irish emigration decreased to 7S,719 The emigration from Ireland in tn, last thirty years has been about 2, 750. .000 But this total will be sool surpassed by thirty consecutive year of German emigration, If the latte continues It's present rate of in crease.

THE METHODIST CHURCHES.

The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
is now in session at Nashville, and
the fact has given rise to a renewal
of the discussion which comes up
periodically, of the question of a
union between the two branches of
Episcopal Methodism in this coun-
try. We do not know certainly that
it is best that there should be a
union, and yet We know of no
reason why they should not unite.
The two branches were one previous
to 1874, when there was a division
growing out of the slavery discussion.
Slavery having been abolished and
the disturbing cause having been re
moved, it is hard so see, now, why
these two churches-the Methodist
Episcopal Church and the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South,
should antagonize each other.
Their church doctrines are the
same, and their form Of government
the same, and it is difficult for out
siders, and insiders too for that mat
ter, to understand why there should
be two organizations OF the same
church.
There are two reasons it seems to
US, very strong ones, why there
should be union of the two organi-
cations. One of these is an eco
nomic reason. Both branches of
Methodism operate and own i'm
mense publishing interests. The pub
fishing house of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, is the
largest in the South. The Method
list Episcopal Church has millions in
vested in publishing houses at New
York and Cincinnati. If the two
churches were to unite, these i'm
mense adjustments, which exer
else such commanding influence,
could be operated more economi~
eally and save to the church hun
dreds of thousands every year. And
again, as one church the vast mis-
sionary enterprises carried on by
Methodism could be conducted more
effectively and with far less expense
than by two churches acting indie
pently of each other.
But there is another consideration
which should prove weighty, unless
there is some very good reason why
these churches should not unite. [
would do much towards wiping GU
sectionalism in our political affairs
The people of the two sections, Nortl
and South, were alienated from eacl
other by the fierce discussions grow
ing cut of the same question whicl
split the Methodist Episcopal Church
The secession of the church in til
South in 1874, did great deal t.
strengthen the sentiment in favor G
secession in the South.
The Methodist church is power
full and influential organization
and the fact that i
divided on the slavery question dit
