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,

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

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

strictly to that. If we mind that strictly, tha stan

Kev. Mr. A. Ourney, president of the National

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

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

But there were other matters about which Came

A COXXKCTICUT SENSATION.
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. It
struck fair aud tilled his beard and moustache, aud
very soon he became quiet as a lamb under tne
atonlehing novelty of treatment. After he bad
beensuboued, he was brought out of bis cell aud
thoroughly wathed all over aud put Into clean
clothing and transferred to another cell which had
bei n prepared, there to stay until another removal
shall become necessary.

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."
