The new organization in which the EVEN ING Buz -E united with the Day, Post, fitar,Llerald, and the Sunday papers of Phila delplua, and with a number of influential jour nals in Boston, New York, Newark, Baltimore and other places, is lengthening its cords and strengthening its stakes in the most satisfactory manner. The old monopoly of the Associated Press not only served us very. imperfectly, but charged us very exorbitant rates for what news it did supply; and our readers must be abun dantly satisfied that we have served them well by cutting loose horn the fossilized Associated Press and supplying them with the greatly increased variety of news from all parts of the world with which•oxr telegraphic columns are now daily crowded. The American Press Association is, as yet, in its infancy, bunt is &tending its operations, with great energy, and, as a natural result, is' rapidly attracting the notice and securing the support of the , press throughout the country.; lispecially'at the West and Southwest are its advantages appreciated, and we have almost daily notice of fresh additions to the list of its patrons. Among the latest of these are the, Louisville • Courier-Journal; the Memphis Evening Ledger and the New Albany Com mercial, and these only serve to represent the general sentiment of encouragement which is coming from all parts of the great West to the , new enterprise. One or two private attempts which have monopoly, and which have failed for want of proper organisation, have had the effect of dis couraging many journals which would be only too glad to break away from the Associated Press,. and give their readers the better news of the . American Press A;sociation, at its lOWer. rates, if they were assured of its per manent success. To all .such doubters we would say that the American Press Associa tion means to succeed, and that it has already demonstrated its ability to maintain a fair And active competition with its older rival. The more rapidly these timid journals join our enterprise the more quickly will• they and their readers enjoy its benefits, while their he,Sita tion and doubt may possibly result in their finding their enjoyment of an equal participation in all the advantages of membership in the, Association somewhat restricted by a proper regard for the first claims of those who have taken the labor and risk of this enterprise. We have heretofore invited our old friends of the Asiociated Press to "'come with us and we will do them good." We repeat the invitation, only with the admonition of the possible dau ger of their being ultimately " left out in the sold." GENERAL PRINCIPLES. The Chairman of the Ways and Means Com mittee, Mr. E. W. Davis, hag made an explana tion on the floor of the House, in which he de fines his position in regard to the Border Raid bill. Mr. Davis defends his action in voting for 'the bill in committee, on the ground of gen eral principles." He brought the bill out of committee !' in order to have the opinion of the House on it." He complains bitterly that the vote in committee should have been made public, and thinks that what is done, in com mittee is.not the business of the newspapers or the public. Mr. Davis does not appear to hays directed his remarks to the EVENING BULLETIN, but as we were the first to publish the action o the committee, and have freely criticized it as we think it deserved, we have this to say in re card to Mr. Davis's explanation : With regard . .to the publicity given to the ac Lion of the committee, it is admitted that, as a general rule, and "on general principles," the proceedings of Standing committees aro not published. Perhaps it would be ,better if they were. There ought not to he anything done in committee which will not bear the light. But even if "general principles" favor the secresy of the committee room, particular prin ciples demanded that in the case of the Border Raid swindle, every step of its progress should be , clearly known and understood by the people. Our - correspondents at Har risburg are live men, and, without resorting to any improper or unusual ~ means, they learned that a stout fight had been made in committee against this - wholesale robbery, and it was perfectly right that the people should know who were break ing into, and who were guarding the Treasury in this raid upon its coffers. We expect and re :quire our correspondents to keep us fully ad vised Of all such movements, and we are serv ing not only the public but the Legislature itself, when, in a case of great public interest like this, we place the check of notoriety upon schemes yvhich are only dangerous so long as they can be carried on in secret. But Mr. Davis Bays that he brought this bill out of committee on " general principles." What the " general principles" are that govern the present Legislature, it would not be very hard to.define ; but Mr, Davis probably does not refer to these. He wishes to convey the idea that it is a " general principle " that all bills must be reported favorably froM com mittee, in order to secure for them a discus sion in the House. We believe there are three methods of dealing with bills in committee. They may be reported favorably; they may be reported negatively; and, by certain usago,they may never be reported at all. In -- the case of the Border Raid bill, Mr. Davis thought proper to report it favorably on "general principles." But why did be not report it negatively; on the same " general principles," and so put the op ., position which he now says he has always en - tertairied. toward this swindle, on the record `from the start ? Air. Davis's true plat, In this business, would have been to Come out boldly and say that he was satisfied, from the overwhelming express ion of public opinion, that the bill was a bad \ - • • ' r - • ___L I LL4" .

He :would have made more, for; himself by such a prianly,straightfoward course,' in self-respect and the approbation of his con- . stituents, than the most venal member of the , Legislature can, make in money during the entire session. • ' SKI.LpED LABOR. ' One of the great troubles of the hour in the various departments of. manufactures is • the' .want of skilled labor. The general complaint amongst employers . is that 'whilst there . is plenty of labor offering, they cannot get the . sort they want. . Competent workmen are, scarce, and consequently much work remains undone, whilst those who ought to be able to . do it are starving. , Surely this great evil merits far more attention than it receives. NO trade can be. learned' without a proper educa tion or without the opportunities of learning: And so far from these opportunities existing— so far from any attempt being made to educate good workmen, on the contrary obstacles diffi cult to overcome are purposely placed in the way of such education. Except where education is bestowed by the State, it must be paid for, and, there are two ways of paying. The lawyer, the physician, the book-keeper, the artist—all these, and many others, pay with money for their instruction. Those who baize not money, or have not Mends to assist' with money, can only pay in one other way: „by givinga reasonable amount of their own labor, after it becomes valuable,to pay for the rendering it so, and thiS is Apprenticement. The Apprentice system has many„ good points about it ; it has, however, somewhat fallen .be hind the times, and needs acomple,te reorgani ,zation. On the one hand, the master should make same money remuneration to the ap prentice, at least after the first year ; on the other, the master should be secured against a. violation of agreement by the apprentice running awaylefere his service has redeemed, his teaching. And after perfecting a reason able system, there should be every encourage ment extended, to employers to take apprentices. For want of instruction, the number of skilled workmen does not increase in propor- GlOlll.O 6lltl IIIUIVAZAI ari pasistammusvaATaariiii same time these multitudes of young men growing up are living on their friends, doing nothing, lounging at corners and at engine houses, learning all kinds of evil, and preparing to live a whole life of idleness and vice, who ought now to be becoming skilful bands in the many openings which exist for lucrative em ployment. A very little 'considreation will show that at the present moment, whilst we have great numbers of idle workmen and artisans amongst us, we are nevertheless importing great quan- tities of foreign products. If we do not feel, the pressure of paying for them, it is simply. because we are postponing the day of settle-. ment, and are at this moment using the ruin= ous policy .of sending quantities of bonds abroad, whilst we are receiving not one penny in cash payment for them. If we did receive cash for these bonds, gold would be now at, par, and all the uncertainties that oppress trade would be happily dispelled. But for all these bonds we receive manufactures only in pay ment. The whole system is wrong, and had we bad for thirty years back a thorough,ef fective and popular apprentice system com bined with a steadily high tariff, we should now be making , an enormous proportion of those manufactures which we are purchasing 1 to such disadvantage across the water. , There is perhaps now not one thoughtful man in the community who does not more or less feel the necessity of having some system by which young men can be instructed in hose branches of work which • require skill, dexterity and experience. Of men who are willing to work but cannot do the work wanted for want of instruction when they were capable of learning, we have, unfortunately, too many; and of young men who prefer to lounge and idle rather than work we , have also a super flinty. Perhaps never in the world's history has intelligent labor been paid as now. Take even the coarser sorts: the plumber, the plas terer, the stonemason,. the bricklayer, the one week's labor of any of these will buy - at •this day, four barrels of ,/tour. The thing is al most incredible, but true. It has never before been so, we believe, in the history of the world. At the same time, many a man's family is starving, or kept from it by charity, because ) he has been, by an ingenious and complete system, debarred from learning any 'mechani cal trade, mut consequently his work is worth less, or what amounts to the same thing, is not wanted. What this system is, viz.: the rule that a master mechanic, though he may em ploy a hundred hands, shall not have more than two apprentices, las been "already sub-' ciently explained in these columns. The treaty for the annexation of San Do mingo was rejected yesterday in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations by a vote of five to two. We believe that this vote fairly indicates the sentiment of the benate, and proves that the treaty would have been repu diated even if it had been reported from the Committee. The scheme now may be . regarded as defeated finally ; and we congratulate the country upon the result. If we had purchased San Domingo, we should have benefitted no. body but a few speculators and army contrac tors, while we would have added to our debt and provided endless trouble for ourselves in the future. We hope that the fate of this un dertaking will effectually prevent the organiza tion of any more schemes of annexation. Bantling. Du rborow & Co..

CONFERENCE, Commencement• of the Eighty-Third Session at Pottsville, Pa. PENNSYLVANIA. rovectal bewitch to the,Phila. Evening Bniletin4 The Philadelphia Annual Conference. POTTBvimx, March 16.—The Philadelphia Annual Conference of the Methodist Bpisco- . pal Church commenced its ,eightptididnession in the M. B. Church of Pottsville, Pennsylva nia, this morning.—Bishop Matthew Simpson presiding. ,The previous sessions of the Conference have been held principally in Philadelphia, and occasionally in other localities, as Wit : mington, Milford, Smyrna (Del.), and Easton, Md.• In our own State, at Harrisburg, West Chester, Easton and Reading. This is the first time they have met in the coal region. The Church, after ,years of struggle and labor, has reached a position of influence, and is a power in - the community. The venerable Henry Beam (the patriarch of Methodism), now in his ninety-fifth year, about sixty years ago . preached at Potts' , Iron Works, now in the borough of Pottsville. There was then but one or two Methodists in the place. In 1829 Rev. William Hunter Bill was sent to this place, as a mission with a member ship of about twenty. The next year Rev..J. McCool was sent as a stationed preacher, and - in that year they built the old church. In 1869 they reported a membership of 397; Proba- Hebei's, 08 ; the church valued at $25000. 'The noble-hearted Citizens have vied with each other in making arrangements to enter tain the two hundred aim fifty ministers in at -tendance.. Distinguished delegates are in, at-. tendanee, such an Rev. J. Holdich, D.„ Secretary of American Bible Society; Rev. It. L. Dashiell, D. D., President of Dickinson College ; Rev. John Wilson, A.

Devoted brethren have finished their work, and received an honorable discharge. " They rest from their labors; and their works follow them." They are Rev. Thomas Childs, Rev. C. Wilters_ Rev. C. W. Agars, and Rev. Franklin Moore, a D. The Committee of Examination on the course of study for the ministers of the first, second, third and fourth year, convened the several classes to be exaasined on Monday evening, the 14th.

Anniversaries was the Conference Church Extension Society, which occurred iu the M. E. Church last evening. The General Soeiety was organized by direction of the. General Conference of 1864, and was incorporated by the Legisla: time of Pennsylvania, March 13, 1865. The Society embodies— First--The General Committee of Chinch Extension, which determines for the year ensuing: I. The amount the Church shall be asked to contribute through the regular col lectione;_ 2. The amount that may be appro priated by donations and loans ; and 3. rho distribution of both collections to be made and appropriations authorized among the Conferences severally. Second—The Parent Board of Managers. This is charged with "the management and disposition of all the affairs and property of the Society." • Third—ln each Conference, the Conference Board of Church Extension baying charge of all the interests and work of Church Exten sion within the bounds of the Conference. Income is derived from two sources: I. From annual collections, creating the General Fund. 2. From special donations and bequests, cre ating the Loan Fund. This fund is designed to aid a multitude of cases, too weak to build. within themselveii, that would soon become strong by building a suitable church. They are aided by a temporary loan, bearing tittle or no interest. and in a few years return the amount borrowed, to be loaned agai n.to others. in like manner. The fund is a perpetual fund, cannot be diverted for current expenseft, and in no case can the loan exceed five thousand dollars. ProviSion is also made for those who may have means to be devoted to religious uses, but who way need or desire the income from the same during their lifetime, shall re ceive an annuity equal to a reasonable interest on the amount contribided to the "Loan Fund." The General Society realized in 1869, for the General Fund, 378,000, relieving seventy-five churches in donations ranging from $25 to $l,OOO. The Loan Fund has reached a capital of $130,000 in subscriptions and pledges. Realized in cash, $14,000. This fund is paid in teu annual instalments. They have loaned from 'sloo to $5,000 in special cases The. Conference Society receipts- will be near $6,000. The assessment is $6,500. Ten„ churches have been assisted to the amount of $3,420 from the General Fund, and from the Loan Fund $4,300. The addresses on the occasion were from the eloquent Bishop Simpson and Chaplain McCabe, of Libby Prison fame, who serves as the special agent of the Loan Fund. The, Conference was called to order by BishoP Simpson at nine o'clock this morning. Religious services were conducted by the pre siding.

Mr. Reinoehl said that there had been an understanding when the committee was ap pointed that no expense should accrue to the State. Mr. Brown (Dem.) had offered the original resolution appointing the committee, and there bad been aprovision that there shou id he no expense to the State. He asserted that there bad never been an order issued to the Chairman to have a single witness subtapnaed; the gentleman who had assumed to he Chair man bad taken it upon himself. The Com mittee had been turned into a farce, and this resolution for pay should be voted down. , Mr. Elliott said that the gentleman from Clarion (Mr. Brown) bad never met the Com mittee after the first session. It bad met, or , ganized, and directed its Chairman to issue pubpa;nas to certain parties, some of whom were examined. Mr. Steel, of Schuylkill, denied that there was to be any visit to Philadelphia.

Mr. Beans moved that the bill be sent back to the Local Judiciary Committee, and said that he understood the Corporation Committee had already appointed a sub-committee to go to Philadelphia and investigate. He (Beans) had - astrong suspicion that there would be an attempt to bleed somebody. In the debate which ensued, Mr. Davis took occasion to say that he would oppose any . measure whichtwould in any way affect the water supply of Philadelphia. This point he insisted on with much earnest ness Mr. Beans opposed the Scudder's Falls bill, as being very injurious to his constituents. His motion to change its reference was lost.
