The delay in passing the Power or hehovai
bill is naturally arousing suspicion, both IN Al
bany and New-York. The Legislature has been
in session practically three weeks. but no prog
ress toward the enactment of this measure has
vet been made. 1t is true that three bills have
been introduced on the subject. but the object
of SO many Is seemingly to secure plausible
reason for delay. Assemblyman O'Grady, Of
Rochester, and Senator Parsons, Of Rochester,
are the chairmen Of the two committees on
cities Why are they preventing the passage Of
a bill giving Mayor Strong control over the city
government? Our Albany correspondent peril
nently quotes what Governor Morton said in his
message on this subject-that the passage of
such a bill lis an immediate requirement" at
the hands Of the Legislature. Why, then, all
this delay?

Epworth League at Chattanooga, and the
impression there made upon him, but
he took occasion TO discuss the League
movement in all its bearings. aud gave
earnest and practical advice as TO the
proper line OF policy 20 be pursued. He
declared that loyalty to the church was
OF first importance, and the fact should
never be lost sight OF that the league
is an Institution OF the church. and not
something separate and distinct from II.
