SIR: Mr.. Conant and Mr.. Lathrop, writers OF
the two letters which appear in tOdIys TRIBUNE dis
cussing the point which raised in relation to Section
OF the Dors leImer Bill take directly opposite grounds
1t seems therefore that the confusion which dreaded
rs to the construction Of that section already exists
Mr Conant thinks that it Will be necessary FOR foren
author To make arrangements" within the time of
limitation for publication in this country Ar LatArop
explains that foreign author "efec publication IN
this country by circulating FOR sale here s1aA EDITION
from abroad
M Lathrops letter is clear, brief and 10 the point and
il is 70 he desired that courts in Section Is IN
altered will construs It he predicts. But Is il $50

there very great doubts of what construction VIII ne
placed loose and ambiguous section II any i'm

or whether they should be funded into bonds
when tho currency becomes redundant He
would wipe tho national banks out of exist
ence. The eastern democrats of the Tilden
school will not assent to any such doctrine as
this, hut it is not dstastcful to the average
western democrat. Gen. Butler knows the
feelings Of the masses of the party upon this
question, and no has not alionatod them by
his letter. Tho national democrats conven-
ton may possibly refrain from making fling
at tho national banks, although majority
of tho party would like to SEQ the Butler
plank put into the platform.
In summing up the matters to which no
thinks tho government ought to give atten-
tion Con. Butler constructs very good poll
tical PLATFORM and tho mode Of expression
could scarcely be improved upon: Tho in
terosts Of labor; tho preservation of tho
lands Of the people for the benefit Of tho peo-
pie tho control of agencies created by tho
government to be used for tho good of tho
people to regulate and control a system of
interstate commerce, which shall control
and cheapon transportation of persons,
freight, aud intelligence, and to protect all
in their just rights and conino all to their
true duties, to the end that there may be in
this country equality of rights, equality Of
burdens, equality of privileges, and equality
of powers to all persons under tho law"
That is not a bad political platform,

the Mount Lebanon mission in the Holy
Land was read. The mission is in u most
fourishing condition. The committee to
whom was referred certain propositions from
Rhode Island, Salem, and Dover in ro-
lation to united meetings, made i'm
portant recommendations, which were
adOpted-namely quarterly, monthly,
and preparativo meetings may be held as
united meetings of men and women Friends,
whenever, in the judgment of said meeting,
it is desirable. The united quarterly and
monthly meetings shall appoint one man
and one woman rs clerks, and where the
superior meeting holds separate session, sep
arate reports shall be had. The united
preparative meetings may appoint but one
clerk, either man or a woman, whenever
the discipline requires concurrent action.
All such business may be done separately or
in joint session. All tho recommendations
