Methodist Episcopal Conference at its
next annual session, which will be
held at Cambridge, Nd, in March,
and devote the ensuing year to pastoral
work. In the event OF the Rev. Il. q.

rington pastorate. now filed by Mr..

Dover, Jan. with the assistance
of the Democrats. the Regular Re-
publicans have broken the foolish
deadlock, and succeeded in effecting
the permanent organization Of the
House of Representatives. The work
performed yesterday was surprising,
because it was supposed that the
Democrats would not return to the
Regulars aid SO soon after the un-
gracious response of the Regulars to
tho oyerttlres made on Wednesday by
tho Democrats. To all well-thinking
citizens, the unrayeling of tho tangle
is gratifying. The result accomplished
yesterday was not more surprising to
anybody than to the Addicksites. Com
menting upon tho termination Of the
fizzle, they said: "Wc wcro given our
medicine, and took it," The firmness
displayed by them throughout the
factional fight would, in a better
cause, have been highly oommendable.
Efforts to scatter their forces were
futile; on all tho ballots they voted
solidly for their nominee for the
SpealIcrship. The officers chosen by
the House are:
OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE.
Speaker Theodore +. Clark, New
Castle county.
Clerk Benjamin Il. Sheppard, New
Castle county.
Sergeant-at- Arms--Andrew Easham
Sussex county.
Chaplain The Rev. Joseph Brown
Turner, Kent county.
Page = Harvey Palmatory, Ken
county.
Reading Clerk William I. Parker
Sussex county.
Soon after the opening of the door
of the hall of the House OF Repro
sentatives yesterday morning, the tiooI
and lobby teemed with members ant
spectators. After the Regulars and Ad
dicksites had conferred for half al
hour, ami failed to agree, Representa-
tive Jenkins, tho acting Speaker
called the House TO order. To roll-cal
33 members responded. Representa-
tives Conoway and Pilling. who ar
seriously i'll, were the absentees.
