 PHmADELPHIA, May 22.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 ssIf anyone had predicted, about the time John Brown was hanged, that General con ference of the M. E. Church would do, in 1884, what this body is now doing. what would have bssn thought of such a prophetP" Such was the question put to the writer dur- the editorship of the Southwestern Christian Adveoats. That the track had been left clear for these d1sky sons of Africa was all the more remarkable from the fact that the po- sition is one which scores of white men would be glad to fiji, and which heretofore, like the other editorships of the church, has been looked upon as an exclusive property of his class. Nor less remarkable was the fact that the successful competitor. Marshall W. Tay- Tor, D. D., should be man who, despite his dark complexion, is generally conceded to measure up, in point of culture and talent, with almost any in the conference belonging in the favorite Caucasian race. MT Taylor is . mulatto. He has an intellectual looking face and 8 manner as quiet and retiring as that of modest woman. His views on the relation Of the tuo races are less radical than those held by most of his brethren. He believes that colered man is as good as 8 white man only when his personal character entities him to such rank, and vice versa. Mr. Taylor's career in the conference has

Considerable sympathy is felt fer the editors. who failed 10 secure reelection, but rotation in office is one of the fundamental lava of Methodisu. as it is of our Rlorio1s republican form oe government, and it is perhaps well thaf sn experience which comee Co the regular pastor every two or three years should occasfonalIv fall to the lot of those who fill the biR ofacos of the church.
 To the above list of editors must be adde, the name of Marshalf ". Taylor, D. D., the colored man, who takes charge of the Chris. tian Advocate at New Orleans.
 Now that the elections are all over tbe copfereRce will settle down to ita legislative work. This, however, will have to be done hastily, for in week from this day the body will probably adjourn.
 We have had so far large amount of slate hx:ng and any quantity of talk, but the welghty matters that call for careful action have yet to come up. The committee are i'm structed to have all their reports in by Satur- day. Then it will be known definitelv whak Is before us, though it is questionable if aII these reports will be acted upon. Soon two sessions day will be the order, with speech. es cut down to three minutes- in lenRth. Then, probably, as was the case four years ago, grinding committee will be appoint. ed, to whom will be referred the reports or the vari0us committees, and who will sift out the more important, and leave the oth- CTS to siunaher for another ouadrennium But for the irrepressible tendency of some of the brethren to kill time by useless talk. not only would the conference get throuoR decently with all it's work, but it would be able to adjourn several days earlier and thus save the church for that period the s35 a minute, which it is said to cost while in proo- ress.
 As every one expected, the voice of the conference upon the great temperance issue IS no uncertain one. The standard erected for individuals is total abstinence, and the u!timatum desired for the State, total prohi- h1tlon- License and tax laws are con demned, as providing for the continuance of the traffic without obyiating it's evils.

 MT. Blaine's friends in Washington think that he will be nominated on the second ballot, and President Arthur's friends figure that he (Arthur) will have 356 votes on the first ballot, and "A more on the second, which will give him 1S more than s ma jority. One thing is certain. Blaine and Arthur cannot both be nominated on the second ballot And it is quite probable that neither of them will be.
 A Wall street broker tells the following cheerful little tale: ''Tsn years ago I knew e man who had eleven millions and seven children. One day I asked him why he did not retire.

 A queer story comes from Baltimore It is stated that g Mrs. Elizabeth Wardsll of that city is suing for divorce upon the ground that at the time she was married she was so far under the influence of drugs ad- mipistered with malice afosethonght as to be half uncpnseious and not at all the mistress of her own actions.

 An interesting question as to the custodian of lost unclaimed government bonds has been decided at the treasury department. It ap pears that the officers of trust company in one of the northern cities, in arranging their offices at the close of business @ short time ago, found two United States coupon bonds of small denomination, the ownership of which they were unable to determine After making several intellectual efforts to ascertain who was the owner of the bonds, they were presented at the treasury department for re- dsmptien, with the understanding that the money should be held by the trust company in trust for the owner in case he should ever present himself An investigation at the de- partment also failed to disclose the owner ship of the bonds Payment on them to the trust company was refused. That company thereupon made 8 formal demand on the de- partment for the return of the bonds. Sec retary Folger decided not to seceds to the demand, on the ground that tn. treasury de- ! oartment is the proper bailee for such un- claimed bonds and also on the ground that l he finder of bond note has no lawful right 1 ,f action against the makes.

makes q monumental ass of himself by
accepting a dinner from Jay Gould and
other New York millionaires, and an
address from a lot of preachers whose
spokesman, unrebuked by him. declared
against the Democracy as the party of
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion
Mr.. Blaine said nothing then and has
said nothing since to repudiate this
preachers sentiment. His friends,
after they have taken day or two to
discover how it damages him, have
undertaken to repudiate it for him.
They are moved to declare its author a
fool, not because of his sentiment, but
because of the folly of an expression
which drives from Blaine his Irish
Catholic vote. But the folly is really
