Jnst new there are some people who think that the bottom has been reached, Just as there have been such opinions at every Btep of the down grade of the past two years With nearly every ene the wish Is father te the thought, and as a steady run of less is net an ngreoable oxperlence, the suf ferers are excusable for hoping for a ehange In the tide upon very Mwsy grounds. It is certain that the present depression In trade Is'net going te con cen con tlniie for evor ; but whlle the turn in the lane la bound te ceme seme time, there is no geed reason te expect that It will ceme very seen. These periods of trade depressions de net ceme without cause or go without reasen ; and the occasion of the present situation does net seem ob3cure, though many poeplo pretest that it is te them alto gether unaccountable. There nre always plenty of people who are never able te account for the fact that things turn out as they did net expect ; deeming their Judgment u reproof, they conceive it mi mi raculeusly strange that it should have beeu disappointed. The fact Is, however, that the Judgment of the great majority of peeple is net very geed, while that of no man Is perfect. The best opinions may be set at naught by ndverse facts ; and it has ceme te be a saying, much respected for its truth by the wise men who find themselves se often disappointed, that nothing Is se sure te hnppen as the unexpected." Certainly no ene expected two years age that by this time there would be n depression in stock values of fifteen hun dred or two thousand mllllonsef dollars; nor would anyene have believed that such a depression could come without a financial crisis and universal bankrupt. cy. But it has ceme,nnd the paper value has gene and no considerable number of financial shipwrecks have occurred. The 103333 sjem te have generally been suf fcred by these who are able te stand thorn, though no doubt there are a great many financial edifices, of beautiful out slde 'exterior, which nre as dry inside as a Dead Sea apple, and which will tumble down befere the rough gale3 of the coming seasons. But unexpected as Is the existing depres slen in trade there is nothing strange in it, sinca it is the naturu' consequence of the undue stimulation Mint preceded it. It is net caused by monetary stringency, since meney is cheap. It is seeking in vestment wherever It can safely place itself te earn a modest Interest. A few years age it would have scorned such investment. Then it hungered for greatreturns for usance rather than for the safety of the principal, which was assumed te bis secured where se great profit; was premised. Capital seems te be always Inclined te the two extremes of undue caution and undue rash ness. The happy medium is net struck, because most capitalists have thelr capital in their cash instead of in thefrsense in their pockets Instead of in their heads. It is te this fact that our present con dition is due. It has been discerned by the Jay Goulds of the stock market, who have watered the stocks of existing cor porations, imd created ethers out of wiud en the smallest foundation of solid subjtnncp. Kallreads have been pre jected everywhere, and built where they were net needed and could net for years earn their fixed charges by .their legitimate business. They have been built and equipped entirely out of meney borrowed en thelr bends, which have been made te yield a handsome surplus for the profit of the construction com mittee, organized by Us promoters, who iiave besides received a bonus of the bands and rich salaries as efllcers. lteads already built that have been profitless have been taken us potter's clay Inte the hands of the speculators nnd combined and manufactured and dressed up se as , te invite the sale of their stock of fancy' prices. Devices have been exhausted te give fictitious values te worthless prop erties and the New Yeik stock exchange Im3 given its aid te the swindles. The result was a great business in construction of all kinds ; which stimu lated production of all kinds, nnd espe cially of Iren manufacture, and when the tail broke, business and manu facturers of every kind fell flat en its back along with stock speculation. The stock market is said te be dependent en the iron market ,nud Unit the state of tlie latter is n true Index of the true con dition of the former. And It Is true, though it was the stock exaltation and depression which exalted and depressed the iron market, Instead of the Influence proceeding from the latter. The iron industry is largely dependent upon the railroad Industry. The production of Iren and Hteel has been enlarged te meet the great railroad demand which has existed In periods of railroad building activity. The productive capacity of the country Is greater thai) the demand in periods of Inactivity in railroad construction and maintenance, such as the present. Every railroad in the land is economic lug te its utmost stretch of pessibili ty, because Its revenues are diminishing and its dividend and interest amount is net. In truth, there are but a dozen rail roads In the country that are paying dividends, and they are In greater dis tress than the ethers, because they have this additional prevision te make. The Pennsylvania railroad managoment has turned oil its spigot expondlture, and Is trying hard tosteptho bunghele leakage. Its purchasing department has almost lest the recollection of the appoarance of a requisition ; and a general holiday calm " prevails In the oflke of the purchasing agenta of all the railroad, who stay at home and play with their wives and babies, nnd gardens nnd furms.lf they are Jucky enough te be blessed with these bigullemqnta of a llfe of leisure. ;New, In this state of affairs, who can see signs of a spoedy revival of business briskness ? The men who have stolen the money te build unneeded railroads, have exhausted that scheme te get rich THE METHODISTS, A 1IUKK7.Y TIME X.X THE UONVKMTIUW, forward te have thelr lingers burned. Mennwhlle the country will have te pled along slowly, until with Its natural growth a natural equilibrium of supply and demand will come about, In which modernto rewards will be meted ent te capital nnd labor. There Is no occasion for the present fright of capital or of Its fear te trust Itself out of a napkin, it can Una nbundantjsafe and profitable Investment If Jit puts Its spectacles en. "When It buys a stock like Western Union tele graph that is intrinsically dear at n quarter of its capital, because It Is a bub- bio that has prospered en a nioneptly that ha3 sought and never failed te grasp, it will ceme te grief of ceurse , but when it invests in a stock like the Lehigh A'nl ley railroad, for Instance, where a solid dollar is found betwixt every one In its capital account, it cannot go wrong. If there was nlways such discrimination In lnvestment as i3 premised new there would be no chance for Jay Goulds te rlae as the mushrooms of a night. nAllRIEll ItKNKATM T1IKIH STATION.

BnnwsTrn writes te an Inquiring friend, who hap pens te be a delf gate te the Republican national convention from this state, that if Arthur is net made the nominee of his pnrty the probabilities are that it will end in the dissolution of the lie publican party. "The people," he says, " are a Httle tired of that party, and the tlosef discipline nnd the patriotic sentiments that bound men te it are re laxing every day. These who were at its birth, and these who were engaged in Us work duritu the days preceding the rebellion, and during the dasef that dreadful war, had sentiments and con cen con victlens that persuaded thorn te de all things, suffer all things for it as an act of public duty , and men did go great lengths and submit te thlugs tha. often times were intolerable for the sake of upholding that party in Its organization and strengthening the bauds et the gov ernment." The attorney general, how hew how ever, recognizes that these tinv'.s are past aud that a new generation has ceme upon the scene, who will net be satisfied with the methods and the makeshifts that have sus tained the Republican party in power for the past few j ears. While an observation of this fact leads him te thosuppertot Arthur, it is noteworthy that many of his party associates who came te ether conclusienflld favor ether candidates, give the 3am reasons for their course and express the same ap prehensiens for the future of their party.

The first session of the rcoend week's convention of the Methodist Kplsoepal conference was characterized by two im pertant matters and a slde dobate upon Mm question of tliue for oleeting the new bishops. The momerlals from the several annual conferences were presented and appropriately referred te the standing cemmittees. Uy the aotlen of the confer ence last week a large number of papers nre sent dlrcet te these committees with out dobate. Dy the adoption ei this plan the conleronco has saved itselt seme tlve days of work, which the delegates aver cau be dovetod te the consideration of matters of mere gcneral Interest te the public, aud of greater importance te the church. AU papers considered of any Importance cau find their way te the standing oemmitteos, but it Is only stteh as the committees, which number nearly a hundred members each, may consider vital that find their way befere tliei:encral conference ler fiunl action. uether important matter placed en record was the quadrennial address of the beard of bishops, presented through tueir secretary, Bishop Harris. The report, which was very full and completo, was a presentation of the work porfermod during the past four years. The present status of the church, as per the report : Bishops, 11 ; presiding eilers, 477 ; ministers filling pulpits. 12.023 : members. 1.7S0.090. an increase, during the past quadrcuuium of leS,77. The number of ehurches reported was 1,711, and places of wershlpare belng erected at the r.ue of two a day. An allusion te tlie church taking a mere deeided stau 1 upon the question of pro hibition was greeted with applause An An other very important matter was the indirect recommendation that candidates for the ministry be placed upon a longer probation than that new existin. Tlie present length of time ia two years. A better plan than the old ene new In use, for the retiring of aged and disabled miuistcrF, was rocemmendod, aud the unefilcial negotiations of ministers and people about appointments was regarded as ene of the perils te be avoided by the church. The report closed with a recom mendation te cnlarge the beard of bishops. The fact that 0,000 copies of the addresa were ordered printed was evidonce of it) importance and inlluoneo upon the con cen con ventien. An Kxcitlnc lime. At the opening of the session it looked as though the delegates were taking u holiday or observiug " Ditte Monday," as it is termed by the divines. Most of thorn were slew in gathering, net mere thau half the number belng present at the opening religious sjrvice. liy 10 o'clock, however, the seats were well lilted, and it only needed n spjrk te set the convention all ablaze. This was furnished by Rev. Dr. Hattleld, formerly of Bread and Aroh street church, Philadelphia, who upon a motion te proceed te tlte oleotton of bishops u Wednesday, whieh had been urge.l by Chaplain McC tbe, te Btep the electioneering and canvassing for this sacred oihce said : "Next te the reputation of my wife and family, there is nothing in the world that concerns me se clesely as the reputation of the Mothedbt church. I was bem In the church aud my affection for it is imperish able. I am deeply impressed, therefore, when I think hew seriously the reputation of the chureh is threatened by what has been said and dene in this matter of the election of bishops. Thore was a time when delegates would spend hours en their knees aud then rise te cast a vete for bishops. That time scorns te have given way te a period of caucusing, leg rolling and wire pulling.

"I will net ba interrup ted," he said. "It is an eutrage that a matt can hardly get out of a car bofero seme ene oemes te him, and ." "Order erder," rang in all parts of the hall, while a score of delegatcs heutcd for rcc ignition. Amid the confusion Dr. lUldw.n, of Baltimore, succeeded in rais ing tlie point that Dr. Hatileld was out of erdei The chair ruled that he was net, but that he still had the fleer Dr. Hat Hat Held resumed, though nmld continued interruption, and succeeded in saying : "I declare that it is nu ttnscemly and ttubo ttube ttubo ceming thing that mnmbers ei this body eatt hardly set feet iu lVtiutylvauia he fore they are button holed by delegatcs, who suggest all kinds of combinations." "I object te that relleotieu upon Pennsylvania," criad Rev. Mr. Beylo, of Pittsburg. "That remark,-' said Dx. Hatileld, ecernfully, turning in tlie direction of Mr. Beylo, " was evtdeutly itttonded te be witty, but It lacks force Thore was no tolleetion made upon Pennsylvania." A delcgate in the rear of the hall ob jected that Dr. Hatfield's remarks wero reflections upon mombers of the body wtiheut partictilatUlug. ' I did net refer te that brother nor his couferonce," said Dr Hatileld. 'But we cannot afl'etd that our garments should even smell of fire. Our reputation should be that of Cesar's wife.

JSiiss liiiiian was in tue uauit ei utKiug daily drives with tlie coaehman, and lln.-illv her f.iimlv,H HllsnlcietlB WCrO aroused and Novtllie was discharged. He aud the girl, however, continued te meet clandestinely up te a few days age. On Friday afternoon last Lillian went out for a walk and did net nturtt. She had just received the monthly stijxmd allowed her by her father as pin money, and the fears of the family wete aroused that she had llewn from the parental reef. I was learued that Newlhe had disappeared quietly a day or two befere. Detcctives traced the girl and tlie oeach matt te Teledo. Mr. Whitney chartered a special trnln and retailed Teledo Saturday night, but tee late, for the runaways had disappeared after getting married, and their wltercabjuts lias uet been uiscoveren.

Friday night Jttstice of the Pcace C. I. Scott was rented out and performed the ceremony. Te the justice, the coachman gravely asserted that his estate in England was tied up iu the chancery courts, and that he should send the certtlleate of his marrlage te the American minister at Londen, con veying by his remarks the impression that his marriage was necessary te assist him te recover possesien of his property. Ne bclief whatever is placed in his assertions. Miss Whitney is an accomplished young woman, and had everythiug that wealth could bestow. Her mother is prostrated with grief, and fears are entertained for her lifeaud rcafeu. Itiselaimed by their friends that Mies Whitney has been act ing quecrly of late, and that her mind Is deranged.

The lierks cittnty '83 crop of sced leaf has passed into tlie packer hands, witlt the oxceptiou of a few odds nnd ends scat tered throughout seme of the different townships. In Brcokneck and Robeson townships, Berks county, thore will be about the same number of acres planted in tobacco as last year, principally soed leaf, hut Caernarvon BerkB, Carnarvon Lancaster, Honoybreok, Chester oeunty, will plant principally Havana soed. The Tobacco LeaJ approves most lteartl -ly the plan adopted by the leading eigar manufacturers of San Franolsce te previde themselvcH with competent and loyal eigar tn ikers in the future by establishing an approntice noheol hi San Franolsce, in which te train young men in tlte art of cigar making. Lecal Tobacne Market Thore is no ehange te report in our local market. Large quantities of '63 leaf are being received nt the waroheusoH, where packing gees en as briskly as evor, and reports continue fayorable as te the condition of tlie tobacco rocelvod. It is conceded that the paokers, who have been for seme years past paying tee much for the new leaf, have made a goad thing of it this year, as prlces were gonerally low aud the tobaeco gonerally geed. The crop has been bought up quite clesely ; iusome townships thore 1b scarce ly a planting left in the hands of tlte giower, and in noue of them is thore re maining mere than ene fourth of tlie orep, and this is belng rapidly ploked up by buyers who were late in entering the market. Theso who entered the Held early nnd scen red the cream of the orep are new chuckling evor tlie faet that thelr competitors, who doerled the crop, in hopes that they oeuld thus " bear " the market and buy low, are new paying mere for Bocettd rate goods than the early buyers paid for first rate. There oentltiuos te be a fair demand for old leaf ; nbeut 200 eases or '81 and 200 of 82 are reported ns belng Beld during the week, and there was probably a geed de il cold that has net been reported, The season has been backward, and noue of tlte young plants, oxetpt theso crown under ulftM. nre ynt lit for netting out. We have teard ofneno belng ynt planted, but the warm, moist wo.tther of the nasr. few days will no doubt indtice many growers te set out a part of their plaits. It Is net Ukely, howevor, that there will be any great extent of ground planted until alter the 20th Inst. It is bollevod that fully ene half, If net two thirds, of the '81 orep In this county will be Havana soed. MMicitter Wltu n Unme irem Yetk Altar ft Upliltleia Contest.
