The .lleetlnffa f the ftlethodlat Rtnte Conven-lleo-Tlir Nerood lay's Henalon The Topic nnd the Dlneunalon. The second day's session of the Methodist S'ate Convention was held this mornlugln Horticultural Hall. The proceedings were opeDed with devo fonal exercises. The 103d psalm was read by Kev. tleorge Peck. 1 he hymn, ''Before Jehovah's Awful Throne," was sung nuder the direction of Mr. Wil liam (1. Fischer, aud prayer was offered by Mr. Peck. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Bishop Simpson then took the chair, and the special order for the morning session, the reading of the essay on the topic of "The Type -of Piety necessary to the highest prosperity of the Church," was called for. The commltteo on the topic con sisted of Rev. George l'eck, I). D., Kev. . 1). Car low. 1). D.. and Kev. F. Hodgson. Tne essay was read by the Rev. Mr. Hodgson. The following U an abstract of the essay: Among the elements of church prosperity we place number ratio of increase numbers bearing an enuour luting proportion, not only to vttier religious donomina tioDH, but to the whole population. Pecuniary resources must also be included. Money ia indispensable, and the more there is of it in the Church the better it is for the Church, if it be honest ly obtained and consecrated to right uses A not her element is found in places of worship, a le ftists in nnmbeis, and well adapted to the wants and tastes of those who are to occupy them. Educational facilities, sufficiently under the Uhuruh's control to pro tect its sons and daughters from error, is another cle ment. Very prominent among tbo elements of success is a rest less, irrepressible spirit of propagandist!!, with effective means therefor. Another is to be found in an amule sup ply of devoted and efficient ministers. One by no moms to be overlooked is a creed so obviously scriptural and in accordance with common sense as to command not only the assent but also tbe affections of its ministers and people. Also a government which is mainly t he outgrowth of tbe spiritual life of the body, and distinguished by its adaptation to the leading objects of corporate church ex istence. Another is a general harmony, with so much difference of opinion and agit ation of quest ions as belong to freedom of thought and its brotherly and Christian ex pression. Nor would we omit to mentioa territorial expansion, and an intention to ocoupy ultimately all irround not already occupied by organizations to which we fan conscientiously entrust the spiritual interests of the people. but the chief element of a Church's prosperity is the salvation of men upon a large scale. It ia aHfcuiued that pioty is essential to the Church's sio cefts. This piety must be real. The experience of church member must correspond with tbe apostolic description. 't here are some things to be avoided if we would lead en our Church to complete triuraob. We inuit guard against the tendencies of ritualism. Tne sacraments must not be lightly esteemed. The Uharoh ninst lose by tbeir negUct. but sue n?ay lose immeasurably more by their nerverainn. Is there not a leaning of tbe minds of some Methodists to the doctrine of baptismal regener tinny We must also guard against that do. id forunlnin which may exist where there are no tendencies to ritual ism. Of this we have bad many striking examples. There is also that form of re igious culture and mani festation which magnifies nndnly the emotional purl. Oa tbe cntrary. this part of the religious life maybe dis- Caraged and depressed to the great detriment of tile hurcb, under the pretext of cultivating the conscience and the moral principles. It is tbe absence of religious joy and ant husiaxra which makes the theatre, and the opera, and the bops of so ranob account with some pro fessed Christians. And if the feelings and their ex ores Moos are to be kept and er such imperious control in the house of God, so that there cannot be an amen except it be read from the book, and hosanaas and hallelujahs are contraband and disorderly, except they come from a god ltmtand paid quartette, human nature will generally assert and indemnify itself by wild excitement elsewhere, and under other circumstances. Certain other defective types of religious character may be described thus: There are those who are ever ready to pray inpublio, and bear their testimony, and visit the Mick. Tney have ablessirg for every good cause, and tor all the poor. They say b ye clothed and paid, but they do not give, or if they give they give it sparingly and grudgingly. These remarks have reference of course to those who oan pay if they will. On tue othar hand there are those who seem to measure their piety and the piety of ethers by the extent of their donations. They will not visit the rich or speak to their neighbors on tbe subject of religion. '1 here is a style of piety which alms at professing a good profession on every public occasion, while there is ano' tier atyle which avoids profession. It has no religion to talk bout, or if it attempt a statement of personal experience it is in terms so aelt-deprecating yon might almoit con clude that unsuccessful conflicts with innate depravity were its loftiest ideal of personal religion. The grace of rod is not honored by it. There isalso the periodic typu. It oomes on on Sundays and iatermits during the Wdk, And sometimes entirely for months, and reappear at tho protracted meeting or the revival with encourring Uut delusive promise of pennanence. The type of piety noceaaary to the highest prosperity of the Church must unite what is good in all types. I' mutt kave its beginning in conviction for sin a painful cou- lotion that sin begets trouble, Wat the way of ttie trans gressor ia hard, with a consoiouBness of personal condom nation. -i his must graduate into repentance a sense of dissatisfaction, not with Mod's taw and administration, but with our own condition and conduct, aa whul y in tbe wrong and with sin itaelf aa an abominable thing justly bated and punished by God. This must eventuate iu strong faith in Christ. We must have a piety which insists imperatively upon being present aad presiding over tue pailor, tbe drawing-ioom, the dining room, tbe nursery, the kitcbeu. the store, the counting-room ; tbe ottice, ihe exchange, tbe Held, the barn, the political ssseuilily, the ball el just ioa, the henate and all the hign places of national authority as well as iu the assemblies and ju di catories of the Church. Perhaps some one is ready to say, Well the essayist makes no reference to thedovtrise ot entire aanotiliaati jii. Hoes be i ot believe it? 1 do! Ves, 1 do as iiruily as 1 be lieve tbe doctrine of the divinity of OorMt, or of atone ment by Christ, or of justification by faith, or of tbe re aurreviion ol the dead, of future and eternal piiiishmant, 4r nf everlasting glory and haopmess tor t he rights us. The inquiry resolvjs itself luti this. What is tne will of Jod m Christ Jesus concerning u-t The question bjf.ire us is not left to tua discretion of tne cburoh. Much has beea said by writers and preachers abut elevauaf tn.j standard of piety in thoVjnuroh. That is hxel we caunit t-hange it. We may improve greatly the average o- taa Church's pietv, but not its staadard. There it is uplifted us a manuestation ot tbe in tnitold wis lorn of O il. In every branch ef tu Christian Cnurch there are some exemplifying the h.guekl sltle of Christian tuauhood aud womanhood. This must also be the experience of the iuaases, in the Chun-h, ot all it member or with few ex ceptions. Discipline mut do iis work Tne rich an 1 the pirn, the learned and inn uoloarncd tbe old aud tin y ung, must preaa towards tue mark Cive us on J aucU Oburuk ss this, O lxrd, it it be 1'by will lot it be tii Methotlibt Kpiscopal tJburch-not to stand alone, but to lead off - the rest will soon tollosr and ettnd abreast emu us Then wdl the great Ohurch militant move ou to de cisive victory, li wilt ast up toe banner of the cross all over tbe earth. As a polisued mirror it will redact t h a lory of ttod ns vivid snd tlain ooruscat.'ong upon the Heavens and the mill iuin will soon coma. After tne reading ox the eaaay a nyun wa no?. Musical exercise were also luterspersad dirou'i outthe entire proceedings. The discussion oa the BUbject or tne essay men commenced. The Kev. J. B. i'addook made a forcible a 1 Irnsi on Mie subject, and waa followed by Kev. It. il. Craver, who said that he felt perfectly assured thut every man born within the pale of ChrisxtviKy wn convinced that the religion of Jesus U a pj-ver 1 1 convert the world. The subject, under the clreu instance, la cjin rumiiled to ua In an eralneut neuse. The temper or the times ia such that the public mind Is drawn to wards materialism, and It should be the highest iu.il of the Church to counteract the baleful tend n -y. The reverend gentleman continued at length. Kev. John A. Oere neat followed. H4 tid as regards the elevation of toe standard of C uisMaoity be cook! not agree a ita tha au h r of the essay. It can't be rt me. The pietv should ba the same that our foielatturs ei pressed and enjoyed.. It ahuli ii -t be tlevated or altered, but we saoald howl strictly to that. If we mind that strictly, tha stan dard wbl be high enough. l!ev J. Walker Jackson said that he had the iiit Ideas aa relates to the standard of piet. Kev. Mr. A. Ourney, president of the National Joo,l Treacher's Convention, waa Introduced aud iiiaiie an addreas. lie said that he believed in a piey that makes a man par one hundred cents oh a miliar, aud luakeg him deal honestly with his fellow jum, A -hat Uicgs lutn to fiiust, and that taxes the cross In the marts of dally trade. I be lieve In a plrty which ta nt fault-finding, but will take )nst whatever minister 0d sends them. I believe a brighter day is dawning throngn the In strumentality of the Methodist Church, and 1 rejoice with yeu for It Kev. Mr. Thrnsh, of the Central Prmnylvanla conference, and Kev w. m. orey, or tne rnnaiei phta Conference, followed. Mr. (trey aaltl that he believed In the specialty of the Methodist Church. The time Is not far off when but few will be left In nncertalnty concerning the doctrines of the Church. All its doctrines are founded noon the Word of Ood. It la thought strange that a minister can occupy the same pulpit for years and not devote one Sunday to the explanation and teaching of the doctrines of the Church, and it Is strange. We have much to fear from th inmeneeof respectability, we are more In danger of bcoinlng cold from It than from all onr extreme Methodist customs. The extreme doctrine of extreme sanctlfJcUlon should be held to. We pay deference to all law and authority in the Church. Methodism has been pro gressive. It has made law for Itself according to the popnlarsentlmcnt and has not waited for the law to oe mane. A member In the andlence sent a written query to Kev. George Peck, asking for a reply. The qury waa as follows: "Can a manual ways ascertain the exact time of his conversion?" Dr. Peck read the query and replied to it. He said that In some canes the time could be fixed and In some cases It conld not. But the fixing of the time was not necessary for the salvation of the S'ml. Kev. J. Walker Jackson offered the following, which was unanimously adopted: litfohml. That we have heard wti very great Jilensure and satisfaction the reti.. t mi the "Type of 'icty necessary to the h irV'it prosperity of the Church," and that we hcM and no adopt said re port as a declaration of our sentiment upon that Im portant sun cct. A resolution was oilored by the Secretary and adopted, empowering a committee, cor slating or oue from each conference, to procure the name of sub scribers to tne printed minutes or tue convention. The following r a-ucs were announced as the mem bers of the committee : Pittsburg Conference J. H. Conkle. Krie Conference A. S. Dobbs. Central Pennsylvania Conference J W. (X'ker- man. Wyoming Conference De Witt C Omstcd. Phliadelphla Conference Samuel W. Thomas. East Genesee Conference c. L F. Howe. Kust Oerman Conference Kev. West, Plummr. The convention then adjourned until 1)4 P. M. with the singing of the doxology and the benedic tion.

Special Veepatck to Tha KMMng Telegraph. Washikotov, Oct. 19 Gen. Cameron, who arrived last night, and Jalge Kelley, who arrived this morn ing, were both at the White House to-day ant had au interview with the President. Kelley got in first and was warmly received by Grant, who congratu lated the Judge on his defeat of Colonel Thomas and the free-traders in the Fourth district. Kelley had scarcely got nDder way with what he had to say to the President before Cameron's card came In, followed closely by tha old man hltnaell. Of course, aovthlng like private talk on the part of Kelley with the President was brought to a olose. The conversation became general, and turnod almost entirely upon the late election In your State. Doth Cameron and Kelley were surprised at how little the President seemed to know of the resale He did not seem to have heard of the defeat of Gil Allan or of Donley. Altogether, he expressed him self as well pleas m1 with the result in the State. Both Kelley and Cameron nnlted in urging tike ap pointment of Douglass, of Pennsylvania, the present Deputy Commissioner, as Uomuitsslouer of Internal Revenue in the place of Delano. There is reason t believe the President has about made up his mind to give Douglass the place, de spite. Bontwell, who wants a gentleman named Par neil appointed. Douglass has the Inside track at preset) t. But there were other matters about which Came ron and Kelley, who are not the best of friends, wished to rpeak about to the President privately. Each sat waiting for the other to go, but it was no go. Cameron having come In last, nad the best of Kellev, and finally the latter got up and left Came ron niaster of the field. Kelley intends going ba",k later in the day to have his say out. It is understood that when Kelley left Cameron cautioned trant that tue member rrom the Fourth district would near watching, but the Pre sident didn't take to the suggestion, and intimated tbat Kelley had taught him all he knows about the tariff and protection to home industry. He thought that on the whole Kelley was not a kad fellow, and significantly added vhat he (Kelley) had Just Informed him that he bad no axe to grind and no favors to ask. This was a hint so broad and so homelv that Cameron said he believed he would go, and thereupon left the presence. FROM THE so um. Narrow Eacapea from Death. Staunton, Vs., Oct. 19 W. W.

Chlorotonulaar a Crauy Man. I The New Haven A'ewa of octooer IT says: There Is eonune.d at onr almshouse a man who is mad as a March hare. He ta religiously crazy, very vola tile, ugly iu temper, and filthy beyond desciipttou. Yestrday It became necestary to have him taken from the cell where he baa been coudued, iu order to have It thoroughly cleaned. Dr. Ward tried a'l the persuasion be was capable of to Induce the madman to be quiet and allow himself to be taken care of, but the poor fellow's ruiud was wandering among the turned walls of'Zion, where the serpents hiss and spit, and the birds of evil hide, and he becarua violent and dangerous. It was also ascertained that the madman had secreted In the nasty straw of his otil a razor and other things. It was concluded to be a good plan to try the persuasive lutlueuce of chloroform, and a hole was bored in the floor over his cell with an inch and a quarter auger. As boo a as the hole waa made, the crazy man would stop it up with rags by means of a slick that he had pro cured, and the doctors had a lively .time. Dr. Binseil, who was present, produced from among his repertory of Instruments a machine like a garden syringe. ud came to tbe little half-moon hole in front of the cell. The machine was full of chloroform. The man, exulting in his strategy aud throwing tbintrs around In ahuwe and unpieaaaut manner, presented a full face front to the hole lu the door, whereupon the doctor let drive the contents of the machlue.

STRCET-CAU GY MX AS TICS. A Youac I.adv JaiupUU Experleure Is a hard teacher, aa waa Illustrated yesterday afternoon at the Intersection of North Cnptt 1 sfreet and Lelaware avenue wttn North B street. For weeks, nnd even months pant, the ooca- pants or tne "rea ' cars nave otrcn snen a display of agility on the part of one or t to l who, who gene rally leave the car at that locality with tie remark to the conductor, "Oh, no. thank you, don't stop; I can get off ail right,-' Weil, they generally do, but yesterday one didn't. About B o'clock In tne after noon, as red car SO wss approaculng Wnrdetnin's old factory, on Capitol Hill, ihree of the p.iwngers, an elderly lady and gentleman, and a young lady, looking to be about twenty-two yars of sge, arose, nnd without signifying to tho conductor tbat t hey wished the car to stop, pro ceeded to the rear, aa if lo laave. He politely, with bond on bell strap said, "One moment, I'll stop the car." Old gentleman "Oh. no, sir, din'itop ; we are all thre nsed to getting off tho cars in motion." Conductor "All right, sir; Just as you wish." Ar rivirg then at the corner, the car was proceeding quite s'owly, when the old gentleman and laly landed themselves safely, but It was "hl-bnck--lo-do"when the yonng lady, attired in blue silk, alpine hat, pret'y shawl, and well-fitting hinh boot, attempted to make her exit, for in conse quence of some entsnrjlement of the last mentioned articles, she fU directly across the next track, her shawl going oneway, her hat another, and her dress promiscuous like. Ladies In the car said, '-oh, my!" and gentlemen directed their gaze to the oilier side of the street with a great appearance of interest. The conductor again apolo gized, so as to set himself right, while men on the platform said, "Well, It will teach her a lesson." The old lady helped the yonng one np, her first anx ious look being given to her hands, the kid gloves on which were split from a to izzaid. That party will no doubt ttop the car hereafter. Pahinyton Star. Daniel OTcFarlaad aa Toodlrn. Patrolman Carrick, ;or.tho Twentieth Precinct Police, walking through 1 hirtleth street, about 1 p. M. yesternay, upon nenring Sixth avenue, saw a man meandering toward him with most unsteady feet, whose torn and blood-stained clothing, and tie sotted lace, cut here and there as if by a fall, told the tale of a common drunkard. The officer caught hold of the man and auk en him his name, but his mumbled snd incoherent reply could not bo un derstood and he accordingly took his prisoner to the Jefferson Market Police Court. Here the drunken man was placed in what la known as the "cage," where, on one of its wooden benches, ho was left to repose during a recess in the session of the Court. At 4 o'clock the drunkard had sufficiently recovered his senses to be brought before Justice Fowler. The officer stated the facts of the arrest, and said that at the time he made the arrest the prisoner was in immediate danger or fall ing through a cellar of great depth. The prisoner seemed to resent this Insinuation as to his physical fallibility, and said in a loud tone of voice tbat his name was Daniel McFarland, and that he had escaped greater dangers than the one that threatened him in falling down a cellar. PlacKig his hand in his coat pocket, after a moment's search beheld up a package of letters, saying tbat he was the man who shot Albert D. Richardson, and that there wss tbe proof of his wife's Infidelity (showing some letters). The examination or tue prisoner was adiourned until 9 o'clock this morning, in the meanwhile to be Incarcerated in a cell of the court prison. IS. Y. MONEY 11 A It UK r YE4TEUDAY. From the Xi Y. Herald. "The activity at tbe Produce Kzchanne showed a marked diminution to-day ander tbe advanoe In freights ana while brsadmufTs were not lower the market was heavy. Tbe teUgTams from Chicago report a similar state of atfaira in tbat city, the ratee by lake propellers having; been advanced on tbe expectation of heavier abinmeata and a saowjuent competition for freights. Doubtless tbe heavier tone of the market is due in a measure to tbe re port by cable thai an armUtioe between France and Prus sia is very probable, the ant ci pat ion of peace serving to check tbe speculation tor sucb an export ot breadstaru as would result were tbe combatants to prolong hostilities indefinitely. "Moreover, the gold market was weak, and by itsdscline checked purchases for export, aa it likewise onecked the sbipment of stock now in tbe city. The deoline in o d waa due directly to telegrams from Europe that an armis tice wss very likely to be broujtbt about between France nd PriiRia ponding negotiations for peace. Tbe earliest sales at tbe Hoard were at ll3US'n. from whioa ihre was a preRsure oi sales to 113 V- Here toe leading bankers in foreign exchange advanced their rates quite sharply and gold reacted to 1 IU '.i, the final sales this evening oc curring at that figure. As far as might be judged fiom tbe course of the gnld loan market, it would sooni that the holders of gold have not entirely relinquished their idea of causing an advance, f jr tbe rate of borrowing, which ranged frjin Hut to 1-64 in tbe forenoon, was put up an high as 1-16 be fore tbe close of transactions outnide tne Clearing House. It is not supposed tbe 'bull' interest is extensive or Eowerful, but its management of tha loan market as oertainlv been siillful. One cause of the taiiure of tbe conspiracy in September, 1869, was toe bad grace with which the 'bulla' then managed their gold : for they let tbe 'bears' obtain tba upper hand in the loan inarkft and were constantly paying eitr.ivi gunt rates to bave tbeir gold carried. In the present movement tbe 'bulls' bave seldom Riven tbe 'bears' an opportunity to get the gold without paying a considera tion for ita use. and they appear to bava drawn or iooed the reins at will. That they exerted tbeir power in this direction to-day waa quite visible, and tbe employment of tboir resources in this respect was one of the reasons for the reaction in gold. On the other band, tbe 'betrs' move quite cot tidently against them, inaamuob as tbe market already sivea them a large prolit and in view of tbe Iprospective disbursement o' tbe November interest on tbe pnblio deot The rise in exchange has, however, complicated tbe tempo rary situation, though tbe further declension cf gold is only a matter of afewdajaor a tew woeki, aooording as tbe question of frfights shall adjust itaelf ta permit a heavier export of produce. Wbile tiie market for bread sFuffs, aa above noted, haa been heavy and duber, tbe prospect of peaoe in Kurope has revived tha demand for cotton in Liverpool. where tbe murket to-day was firm and active, with heavy sales of the staple, so taut if thers continue an olistaole to the export of breadatuti's we shall see a vast improvement in our exports of cotton, and the value of gold determined by onr increased trade in this article. Scan the situation as we may, it seems impoMsible that oiroumatanoes wl conspire to arrest our steady progress in prosperity and to a fnrtner obliteration ot toe gold premium. "The scarcity of commercial bills arming out of the de creased export of the past week and tke check to the mevement of brea'stuffs impelled the leading bankers to advaace the rates of exchange to-day, aad the market closed fully one-ball per cent, bigber tnan at the opening. Other reasons are also assigned or this movement, tha most prominent being the anticipation of a large demand to meet tbe payment of the coupons oo our five-twenties held in Kurope aud tbe apprehension tht in cats of poace following the negotiations said to be now pending in Ko rope, there will be a withdrawal of the foreign capital wtiich bad been sent here oat of tbe glut of London. "In face of tbe larger deal-ngs at the Htoci. Kxchsote dnrina the oast weok tbe money market works easily at five per cent., tbe latter being tbe teneral rate on call loans, with Dledge of miscellaneous collaterals. Hoi-tjw- sts on Governments as a rule nay five per cent., wit h ex ceptions at six per cent. Tba rate is oondned to this limit, and transactions at four or seven percent sre so rarely exceptional as not to be fairly quotable. In com mercial paper there is a diminished movameut, but rates remain unchanged." PHILADELPHIA" STOCK EXCHANGE SALES Reported by De Haven k, Bro., No. 40 S. Third street. BETWEEN BOARDS.
