Inevitably the old heads have fared the best in this contest, for they were better up in the business, and their forms and voices were more familiar to the presiding officers. Among the new men who have made
 their mark Is Dr. Leonard, of Ohio. But to show that the chair is no respecter of persons it need only be mentioned that another new and $distin- guished member, Governor R. E. Pattison
 of this State, has several times struggled for recognition without once receiving it. In the routine business there are four men who con- stantly take part and to whom the conference always listens with interest. One of these is Dr. Curry. the veteran ex-editor, man of wiry frame, husky and rather weak voice, snowy head, with an abundance of brains in 1t, and knowledge of the affairs of the church which makes the whole conference regard him as 8 sort of high priest on all mat ters coming before it.
 Another is Dr. J. M Buckley the brilliant editor of the Christian Advocate Dr. Buck ley IS short in stature, has strong features, speaks with great fueney and effect, parts his dark hair very much in the middle, as 0 matter Of necessity. owing to the tendency of his massive dome to tower up above it's sur. round1ngs, and is altogether one of the brightest and best informed men in the whole church. The other two are Dr. Lanahan, of Baltimore, whose forte seems to be the moV- ing Of the previous question, and Dr. George B. Aara, of New York, who, being an expert in handhHg fine team of fast horses, is also quite accomplished in driving the conference forward on the luminous path of its proper duty, when other heads not SO clear, have gotten 1t into muddles of difficulty.
 Since writing the above the result of the sixth ballot has been declared, electing Dr. c. H. Fowler to the @ piscopacy. Bishop Fowler IS native of Canada, but was taken early in life to Illinois, where ms chief honors have been won. He IS forty-seven, graduate of Genesee coI- iege and of Garrett Biblical Institute He entered the Rock River conference (Illinois) m 1861, and was a successful pastor of several or the large Methodist churches in Chicago. lnce then he has been editor of the Christian Advocate, and is now one of the secretaries of the missionary society. He is not at all gray, but is inclined to be bald His massive head sdorns the top of & substantial frame, and he Is equally stalwart in intellect and character. The youngest of the new bishops, he Is also ln some respects, the most brilliant and will no doubt make shining mark in his new and exalted position.

HANK OEEICERa.

The developments of last week in New York have called attention sharply to the fact that man may be president of e national
 bank and yet not be fit for the place. It has 1 also been seen that the directors of na- 1 tional bank may not actually direct it's affairs,
 but may leave this direction to speculating president. It has become plain, too, that it is not very safe for national bank to have 8
 of high-hying brokers.
 It is evident that something should, if pos
 sible, be done to prevent such abuse of op= portunities as has been lately brought to
 light. But how to do 1t is @ very difficult
 question. Senator Cullom has introduced a
 bill imposing penalty of five years impris-
 onment or 8 fine of $1O, 900 upon any of the
 chief executive officers of a national
 bank who shall Ideal, trade or
 otherwise engage in speculation in stocks,
 bonds. or other securities, or in grain, pro-
 visions, produce, or oil on margins on his
 own individual account. or for his own per-
 sonal profit, either directly or indirectly" or
 who has 'tany partnership or other financial interest in the operations of any private
 banking or brokerage firm or business" If such measure as this could be made efec- tive it would do great deal of good, but it would be comparatively easy to svads it, at least until the harm which it was to prevent was done Bank presidents and cashiers who want to speculate will find some way to gratify their desire, no matter what the law is. And we suppose that in the fu- ture, as in the past, we shall hear of banks broken by speculating officers. After all, the only thing that can be done to make banks sounaer is to make as sure, as possible that men of the right kind are in control of them. The Bridgeport Standard says with truth: There are men in every community who would, no doubt, be willing to assume the responsibility of bank oficsrs, for the honor of the ofioe, and the compensation al- lowed, who would conscientiously devote their time to tho management of the bank, and in whose hands the funds would be safe, or as safe as possible under the circumstances of risk and danger appertaining to banking business in general even when properly conducted. When banks are thus ofhcersd, and when boards of directors attend to their whole duty, appreciating the full responsibility of their position, as advisors and protectors of others and absent peoples interests and funds, then the business will be properly conducted and we shall hear of less suspen- sions and failures than we now do.
 Deplorabls as the recent disclosures in New York are they will have good effect. For g time, at least, bank officers will not speculate much and bank directors will really direct.

The General Conference.

The Great Struggle Ou the Bishop Quss- tfOn-The Bishops Chosen-A squnbble The Work of Commtttess-The Talk CTS.
 PHnADELPH1A, May 15. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Tonight, which marks the end of the sec. ond week of the conference, brings us to the close of great struggle on the bishop ques- tion. On Friday last the committee on epis- copacy, following the lead of the committee ou missiens, decided to recommend the fixing of episcopal residences in India and Europe The idea vas not to elect missionary bish- ops for those countries, but to send there bishops having squsl power with the other members of the Episcopal board, and liable with the rest to take their turn in meeting annual conferences in the home work. On Saturday this recommendation came before the conference for debate. The struggle was upon the first proposition, and t was under stood that en adverse decision upon that would involve the defeat for the present of the other proposal The discussion lasted through the whole of Saturdays session and was renewed with increased vigor on Mon- day. Nor was it finished even then, but vent ever to Wednesday, and absorbed the entire attention of the conference on that day also. Finally, after one of the most ex- citing and able debates that has occurred in the General conference for several quadren- niums, 8 vote was taken. The iaymen asked that the vote be by orders-that is, that the ministers and laymen vote separately, which was done. This move made it necessary, in order to the adoption of the new plan, that the proposition should be sustained, not only by majority of the whole house, but by 6 | concurrent majority of the two parts into which the house was divided. Upon this reck the measure came to grief. the vote be 1 ing as follows: Ministers in favor of send 1 ing bishop to reside in India, IA ]; against. no; majority in favor, 34. 1symen in ia. ] vor, 59; against. s1; majority of laymeH

The Press ON the Mutt Verdict.

The Press ON the Mutt SerOAtt.
NEW York, Jan 23.-The opin-
ions of the Eastern press on Nuts
acq initial are Singh arly mixed and
divergent. The Tribune thinks.
strictly speaking, it is failure OF
of Justice. What is to be regretted,
however, is the abuse Of the plea OF
insanity. Had the law permitted,
it is ce,t tain that plain statement
of the fact would have ensured
Nuts acqpittal without any such
subterfuge.
The Herald takes similar view,
but thinks insanity the only relia
bic plea recognized by the Law.
The acquittal will be criticized as
being contrary to law. the evidence
in the case and the strict require
ments of Justice, but how many are
there who would not hesitate to act
az James Mutt did under the same
provocation? And how many juries
would not do as the Pittsburg jury
has done. This, the Herald says, is
a practical view of the case, at any
rate.
The Times reviews the case and
concludes that the verdict is mis-
carriage ofjustice, an ingenious in
vasion of all forms of law.
The Evening Post holds the same
opinion,
The World heads the dispatch
announcing the acquittai in big
type, "The Killing of Dukes no
Crime" and says editorially, that
It 5 just verdict in law tbatyoung
Nuts mind was unsettled, but after
all the strong and prominent fca-
sare of the case is the feeling, that
James Mutt did natural act, in
stead of criminal one, when he
shot down the miserable hound
who had bl;ghted young girls
life and twice murdered her father.
The Philadelphia Ledger says:
The verdict is as usual in the ia ce
of facts and law, as was the verdict
in the Dukes case.
The Philadelphia Press and
Times justify the verdict on the
ground Of tie exceptional nature OF
the case.
