The 59th annual session of the Tro,
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church will be held at Johnstown, n. T.,
May 81, continuing from six to eight
days. The session proper, however. does
not begin until the 22d, the first day be.

1t is probable that there will be a large
attendance and arrangements have been
made whereby members of the confer
ence, buying full-fare tickets one way,
are entitled to return tickets ut one-third
the regular rates.
The Herald has the following explana-
tons and possible changes in its issue of
Monday: although all appointments
are made by the conference cabinet,
which consists of the bishop and the
presiding elders, and it is impossible to
fortell with certainty the various changes,
it is thought there will probably be many
made, especially in the New York sec
ton of the conference.
presiding Elder Aaron d. Heaxt of
of the Pittsburgh district will retire, his
term having expired, and among the
possibilities, Rev. George w. Brown of
Glens Falls is mentioned as likely to fill
une Vacancy
REV. Henry A. Starks of Burlington
has received a call from Lansing6urg,
n. Y, and he will probably be appointed
there. DR.. Charles w. Rowley of Glov-
ersville, n. Y, will be transferred to an
other conference and his position will
presumably be filled by a New Hamp.
shire man. Rev, Chapman II. Hawley of
Brandon and f. X. Potter of Pittsford
will receive other charges.
Among the Vermont churches where
the pastors have served five years and
changes are consequently necessary are

That any party holding the opinion

We sought to protect the district from
Mr.. Livingston in the caucus and also in
the school meeting. We did our best to
save the district from the intrusion of
such as he into their councils, believing
that his election would deal the greatest
possible blow to our public schools.

CORRESPONDENCE.


Dangerous aud DIsgracefuI Falsshoods
Mr.. Editor:-The article signed by tn,
Graded School teachers, and published
in the BANNER of last week, exoneratinn
the superintendent from the charge
made by Livingston in tho Reformer, is a
troublesome one lIr l.; iagstOn.
The RCOrmtFS statement that Mr..
! Da'i> compelled the teachers to sign the
article, cOnvicting Livingston OF ISLANDER
and falsehood, is the vilest of all that
moral lepel's disgraceful and dangerous
libcls. The yillainy of saying in public
print that our body of teachers could be
induced to make or sign a statement un-
true! That their words are false when
opposed to the statements of the creature
Livingston! That one dastardly outrage
of Livingston's is sufficient TO prove that
he knows nothing of the high character
of those who have our schools in charge!
Ponder upon it, good people of Benning-
ton! Livingston publishes in his paper
that eleven women of character and high
position in this community are liars, be-
cause their word differs from his in
matter upon which their opportunity of
knowing the truth is ten thousand-fold
greater than hisl
question of social safety of every woman
IN this place. 1t is not a question of the
school or the Superintendent. 1t is a
dastardly crime upon our civilization.
1t surpasses in erormity all the crimes
done by Livingston in this town hereto
fore. What does it mean? Has this
villain come to point
where he can, in a public newspaper, |
brand the ladies of this community as |
liars because they dare to stand for right !
and truth against him? Can these things |
20 on and this coiner of scandal remain |
unrebuked? Does this |
coward already see that he has gone a
step too far in his dastardly infamy?
Does he already fear the consequences TO
himself? Will he, under pressure of
public opinion, try to make fawning
lpology?
If he does, will he pretend that he re-
racts because of information furnished
him that he was wrong? That will be
more subterfuge. lie knew he was
laundering these la lies when he wrote
lis dastardly article. The statement
igned by the Graded School teachers
avs in self that it was signed by them
Unsolicited and uRdSked.
An apology from Livingston will not
vail him unless his whole course is re-
such reformation he
an make no redress. The deed is done
is proper reward is the universal con-
of every honorable and high
minded citizen, and is the only redress
hat the community, in spirit of right
nd justice will accept. x.Y.z.

M. Editor:-If Editor Livingston
really desire TO hear the truth about the

read the following account by one who is
acquainted with the facts.
A year ago Mr.. Livingston took advan-

district and furnished to the support of
the Weld elemental considerable body Of
voters, which did great injury TO Mr.
Weld by its presence.

the presence Of this following to reflect
upon the undoubted responsibility of the

knows, that his candidacy was a bitter
pill 10 the 90 men who voted for him and
for Mr.. Cooper. The open assertions of
