AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.
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" . " J . • 7 PA.,V!

and unpdpular one, and that he washed his ,
bands of it. 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.

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 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. The closing session was
last evening, and, their business completed,
they were prepared to report this morning.
These studies embrace General Theology,
Church Bistory, Homiletics, Mental and
• Moral Philosophy, Butler's Analogy, &c. The
course of reading embraces a wide and
varied range. Those that complete two years
course, are elected to deacons orders ; four
years, elected to elder's orders.
The first of the Conference.. 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.

'From tho Herald of to•day.]
TrasnAY, March 15.—There was a more quiet condi
tion of affairs to-day owing to the steadier feeling in the
gold market.
. •
The transactions in the precious metal were less ex
cited than any day since the great decline commenced,
and the fluctuations were !hutted to a margin of about
three-quarters per cent., the earliest salmi before the
board being made as low as 11114, from which there was
a steady advance to 112%,which point was barely touched
soon alter two o'clock, NVIIVII it became known in the
Gold Room that after a brief contest in thellonso of Rep
resentatives the Funding bill had been referred to the
Committee and Curren c y , eans instead of the Committee
on Banking
being regarded as fatal to its chances of passage in the
form it left the Senate. The Gold Room ts, however, be
coming very obtuse to these Washington telegrams. A
weeksf intelligence snch g r eat ve would, a few
ago, have produce e xcitement- but after
the movement to 1123,; the market became quiet and dull.
Hero the cable reported-gin advance to-91 for Live-twee
ties in London, and alirMer market for cotton in Liver
pool and gold declined again to 1111 i,", closing finally al a
reaction to 1111401112. The foreign exchange market
was hem y, quiet and dullon the basis of 107?ittiOS for
the varions'grades of bankers Sixty day atoning
Ihe money market was irregular, with rates on ex
treme quotations ranging from four 'to seven per cant.
The general business was at five to six per cent. Four
and seven per cent. were the exceptions, the former on
governments, the latter on stock collaterals. In the
earlier hours of business, lenders wore disposed to dis•
•count tie activity which la expected during the month of
April, and hence soma borrowers paid as high as seven
per cent. on eall. Before three o'clock. however,londers •
were offering money He low as five percent. ongood stock
collaterals to prime houses. Thobauks aredolugnothing
in paper. On the street the rates for flret-class denble
name acceptances range from seven to nine, and for
single names frotu seven to twelve per cent.

This amendment is intended to secure the

Horse,—Mr. Adaire offered a resolution
• paying the clerk of the Rouse Treasury Inves
tigating Committee $6OO.
Mr. Brown made an unsuccessful attempt
to reduce the amount t 0 .5400. Passed.
The Philadelphians voting for $6OO were :
Adaire, Albright, Bunn,
Cloud, Comly,Daily,
Davis, Elliott, Forsyth, Hong, Johnston, Jo
sephs. Maxwell, Mooney. Absent, or not vot
in Thomas, Stokes, Miller.
Mr. Mooney (Dem.) offered a resolution
paying Thomas Wilson, Sergeant-at,Arms,
42;,7 50 for witness fees and services rendered
in attending the Police Bill Investigating
Committee.
Mr. Davis (Rep.) in aired hiw_many
nJau wren sworn.
Mr. Bunn (Rep.) replied that about four had
been sworn, but that some thirty or forty had
been aubiaenaed.
Mr. Davis—Why were the rest not sworn?
Mr. Bunn did not think that the Sergeant
at-Arms should antler for the neglect of others;
the - witnesses bad been sttbraenaed, but the
Committee bad failed to obtain a quorum.
Mr. Davis said it was not right for the
House to pay any bill until it was itemized,
and then it should only pay for the witnesses
who were sworn, and no more.
Mr. Elliott was one of the unfortunates
who had been members of the Police Bill In=
vestigating Committee. The Committee had
undertook to meet once a week, but had failed
to obtain their quorums. - The Sergeant•at.
Arms, however, had attended to his duty,and
was clearly entitled to his pay, although he
(Mr. Elliott) knew nothing about the amount
of the WS,
Mr. Reinoehl (Rep.), said that this whole af
fair was an illustration of the tremendous
frauds resulting from the appointment of in
vestigating committees. if the committee
bad never had a quorum, by what authority
had the Chairman issued subpomas ?
Mr. Elliot replied that the committee had
bad one meeting at which there had been a
quorum.
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. Brown (Democrat) moved to postpone
the subject for the present, and to reouire the
bill to be itemized, which was agreed to by a
standing vote of forty-six ayes to four nays.
Among the noes the Philadelphians were:
Stokes, Elliott and Bunn.
A certain bill was introduced into the House
last Monday by Mr. Dimmick, authorizing
the Scudder's Falls Water Company to main
tain a dam, etc., across the Delaware river,
above Trenton. This bill bad originally been
reported by the Speaker pro. tem., Davis, to
the Local Judiciary Committee, but had after
wards been sent to the Corporation Com
mittee.
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.
