understand onch othcr botter than mon can
hone ~ do. Concurrence In this Wow was
expressed by the Rev. THOMAS ii. HUNT OF
Manchester. England who thought that as
women constitute the majority OF attend
en.s o. church they should. as matter
oc justice an6 duty. assume part OF the
wv.k pertaining to tho Christian ministry.
Ito e.!al that in the capacity Of preachers
and pastors women might oven gain adj
mlssion whore men could not. and that in
the hour OF sickness and death their minis
tretlons would be OF superlntivo value.
On the other hand, the Rev. DIR. BuoKIRr
Of New York. editor OF the Christian Aduo-
cate characterized the utterances OF the
favorcrs Of woman's admission to the pulpit
90 platitudes. and thought that sensible wo-
men would feel sick at heart to hear them.
IIo fell back on the Apostles Injunction and
rcassorted on PAuL's authority that women
ought not to take the place OF men. They
could not. he said. do the work Of preachers
without collision with tho laws OF nature.
They might DO mothers or they might be
preachers. but they could not be both On
the same side spoke the Rev. DR.. Hoss Of
tho Methodist Episcopal Church. South. who
held that II Con had intended man aud wo-
man to do the same work He would have
made them alike. He was disconnected.
however. when. having invited any one In
the conference who had higher estimate
Of woman to show himself. large proper
ton OF the delegates stood up.
Replying to tho argument drawn by
DR.. Hoss from physiology. the Rev.
DR.. HOOP OF the African Methodist
Church told the congress that his
mother believed that Cop had a pur-
pose In talking from man . rib instead
OF any other bono. from which to create the
woman. The choice was made In order thnt
she might DO put neither under the mans
foot nor above his head. but that she might
stand aldo by eide with him In all good
works. He added thnt tho African Method
ist Church had no trouble with the woman
question. In that organization perfect
equality was conceded to woman. and. II
she had call to preach. she preached. We
may neation finally that the Rev. STEWART
HoosES Of England said that tho particular
body which he represented had for the last
eighty years had woman preachers among
them whose work had been source of use-
fulness and honor. Uo could see no reason
why II COP Ind bestowed on women ability
to preach the Gospel. man should debar
them from exercising the gift. Az matter
OF fact In bis own experience. women had
made many converts. and such credentials
would have been accepted a. sufficient by
PAUL himself.
As We have seen. tho champions Of wo-
mans right to preach seem to have been too
strong for their opponents in the Methodist
conference. 80 far as speaking IL concerned.
It remains to be determined. however.
whether they will also manage to obtain .
preponderance OF votes.

Mr.. Blaine Speaks to Bucyrus.

The best certificate OF Mr.. BnAnaE's re-
stored health and mental vigor IL the letter
concerning reciprocity and the MCKINLEY
bill. which the Secretary Of State has writ
ten from Augusta to Republican editor in
Ohio. This document certainly affords no
evidence Of impairment In the 6rmness Of
grasp. precision Of touch. or clearness Of
sight and statement which In the past have
distinguished Mr.. B1AnlE's intellectual
operations.
There IL, indeed, . refinement Of precise
statement In this letter which may not COM
mend It to unqualified approval In all Re
publican quarters. Mr.. BLAINE writes to
remind Bucyrus and all Ohio that his
famous criticism OF the original MCKINLEY
bill. namely. that 1t did not open market
for another bushel Of wheat or another
pound Of pork. was uttered before the rec
iprocity provision was attached to that
measure. This Is the historical truth. It
was Mr.. BLAINE's criticism Of what he re-
garded AZ an imperfect bill. although not
necessarily from bis point of view bad
bill. which compelled the insertion Of the
reciprocity clause. By his bold and out
spoken course in July OF last year the SEQ
k0LeGy VI. 0koto pokuopo uAO uOt dcCOupu5u
all that he desired. but he gained great
deal In the direction contemplated by bis
brilliant policy.
So Mr.. BLAINE now tells Bucyrus and the
whole United States that having perfected
the originally defective measure proposed
by Major MCKINLEY by the addition of q
feature which has commanded admiration
everywhere as astroke Of genius. he became
. cordial supporter Of the bill. And he goes
on to show how well his Idea Of reciprocity
Is working for the benefit Of the American
producer. particularly for the American pro-
Queer Of pork, under the new agreement with
Germany.
This concise. dignifled. and exceedingly
adrolt manifesto Of self-assertion is not the
production Of broxen-down invalid. It
marks Mr.. BnANR's remittance In person.
and In his old form. Democrats as well as
Republicans will be glad that the silence of
months Is at an end. Largo politics are
more inspiring to friend and foe than small
politics. and Republican politics with Mr..
BLAINE out resemble the principal agricul-
tural product Of the Bermudas.

the matter OF his retention to the Corporn-
ton Counsel, who on Friday last filed ON
opinion favorable to Capt. COPELAND.
The COPELAND case differed from the
WAsuDuEN case in this: that whereas there
was no doubt OF the latter's actual service
In the field and participation In hostillties.
Mr.. COPELAND was only constructively o
soldier, never having left the State. never
having forsakcn his post on the police force
for the purpose. and having. In fact. been
connected with the army no longer than
forty-one days, which were passed on
Staten Island.
A graduate from the ranks Of the National
Guard, Mr.. COPELAND had an expert
knowledge OF military tactics. and he had
been detailed by the Police Board to In
struct the force In the drill manual and IN
military evolutions. In the second year OF
the war. trained instructors being then In
demand. he was appointed. as the Corpora
ton Counsel's opinion recites. by the Adju-
tant-Gencral OF the State. Adjutant OF the
Second Regiment OF tho metropolitan
Guards. He enlisted as such for the period
OF three years, and served actually forty
one days. from Aug. IA. 1862. to Sept. rs
1862, until It was in readiness to depart from
Camp Washington. on Staten Island. At
the end Of forty-one days he rendered his
resignation as q member Of the army. and
resumed his work upon the police force.
The Corporation Counsel says to the
Board OF Police:
"upon these facts I advise you that Capt COPELAND
Is an honorably discharged soldier who served In the
army Of the United States In the late war The fact OF
his military service and subsequent honorable dis.
charge therefore, IL sufficient to confer upon him the
status an honoraby discharged soldier without re-
gard to the onyth of time Of his service"
Accordingly Capt. COPELAND will remain
upon the force from which civilian at the
age age OF 60 would have been dropped.
and he may continue to serve until such
time as he dies or resigns. or until he be-
comes physically incapacitated.
The case Ia interesting as showing to
what extremitles the legislation for Union
soldiers and sailors may lead in this State.
1t is to be doubted II tho gratitude Of q
commonwealth for Its servitors. actual or
constructive. was ever before carried quite
80 far. Capt. COPELAND Is In the primo Of
life. vigorous and robust, but that fact
would not have secured him immunity from
retirement from active service. It was his
forty-one days muster on Staten Island.
