"A BILL has been introduced into the legis

the bill; its alders and abettors.

a statesman, eminently fitting him for the

unreasonable to infer that he feels he must
either attain jhat high position this year, or
not at all. His judgment, moreover, must
satisfy him that he stands no chance what

THE NEW BOL2STY BELL, - which beneral
SCELENCK has - remodelled since its defeat -in
the Senate at the last session, substitutes
Government land-scrip in lieu of money.
The old bill owed its defeat, it-is under
stood, to the apprehension that the money
appropriation, which it authorized, say $lOO
per year to each honorably" discharged sol
dier and sailor, would result in increasing
thepublic debt by several millions. A still
greater difficulty . was found in harmonizing
the views of EaStefit and Western mem
ber, growing out of the fact that the pay
ment of large bounties to avoid
.drafts was
much more general in the Atlantic States.
It 'is believed that, the new bill will be
cordially supported by a majority, of mem
bers in both houses, and that this tipprol

will be quite as acceptable to the people as

THE WORLD MOVES:
We lniVe'an abiding faith in the ultimate •
triumph of every sound principle, whether
of individual morality or of public law
Nations, like individual citizens, are sub
ject to the irreaistible power of truth and
jusiice, although they may be longer able,.;
thrdugh the greater difficulty of reaching
the collective conscience, to 'shield from the
attack their old prejudices, or the, peculiar
interests of a governing class.. But that Pub
lic conscience is sure to be touched at last;
the policy of a nation, foreign or domestic,
is inevitably progressive toward its
emancipation from error, and the triumph of
right May be counted upon in a year, a
generation or a cYcle;tis morally and abso
lutely a certainty.: Since Christendom
emerged from the reign of mere brute force
in the dark middle ages, its history abounds
with proofs of the truth of • our remark,
wldle not an instance can be found, in its
annals' :of brigiitening and elevating pro
gress; of the ultimate defeat or extinction
of great principles founded upon the higher
obligations of the individual mini to himself
And his race, •or of nations either to them
selves or to othernationa of the earth as in
terpreted
under the precepts of Divine'lau
thority. - -
The march of enlightened knowledge has
no brighter and more cheering illustration,
-
and yields no hope niore encouraging of the
final assimilation of those hundreds of ,mil
lions of our race who accept the great truths
of Christianity, than in the present rapid
velopment of perfected ideas of personal
liberty. No truth lies nearer than this to the
foundations of Social Progress; and none is
more essential to the final triumph of Chriat.
• ianity throughout the earth.: The more that
all the barrieis of international prejudice are
broken down; that the fictitious and arbi
trary lines which separate Christian peoples
are obliterated; that . the inter 7 connuunion.of
all civilized and enlightened. men, hitherto'
subjects of no matter what particular govi
eminent, is relieVed• from the restrictions
"which international jealousies; rivalries or
other false estimates lof necessity have im:
posed; the more, in short, that Christendom
becomes everywhere homogeneous upon the
'basis of a Common civilization, common
'privileges, and a common acceptance of the
high truths deduced from the common faith
in'one God, one salvation and one great re
velation for hunian guidance, by so much
the more will we hope for the speedy christ.
ianization of the earth and the proinised
millennial glories.
Will not the future historian, albeit writ
ing. in some far off age yet to come, detect
the elimination and establishment of - one
Vitally essential (lenient in the progress of
civilization, towards, the goal which the race
is destined to teach, !in the recent acknowl
edgment• by two Christian nations of the
right of individual citizens to the pursuit of I
their personal happiness irrespective of any
obligationSpf allegiance heretofore deemed I
inherent in their nativity? It is not simply
the adjudication,' for a mere present con
venience, of a question found to be tempor
arily embarrassing, for which we commend
the recent- treaty concerning expatriation
between the United. States and. Prussia. It
is, as, the true statesman must regard it, as
the philosopher will welcome it, and as the
historian will record it, the first successful
vindication, of a principle vitally impulsive
in the world's progress to that one great civ
ilization 'which is in time to embrace all the
nations on the globe.
The mighty power of that principle thus
once acknowledged, is again shown, for a
third great nation of Christendom avows its
readinessto accept it and endorses its adop
tion into linternational law. Great-Britain
surrenders the prejudices of eight hundred
years, seals up the records Which attest her
devotion to the now exploded feudal error,
and avows herself ready to inaugurate the.
developer'! truthand to accept a larger and
better vieitof i the personal rights of man.
We may well be encouraged to repeat our
utterance of a felt days since; that the three
nations thus uniting in the - Vindication of a
principle will give it an increasing moral in
.- fluence; justifying - the hope that the present
generation will behold it everywhere recog
nized in the law of nations.
THE CITY WATER SUPPLY.,
The' imperative necessity of providing
without delay an' adequate: supply of pure
water for this city engages the attention not
only of the press, but also .of the public au
thorities. It is needless to recapitulate the
facts upon which that necessity becomes Ur
gent. We have only to recollect the ex
treme imp,urity of this vitally essential ele
ment of public health as well as ctinveni-
Ance, during the last season, to be morally
certain that.the nuisance will soon return in
its regular annual course, and that while we
may enjoy s during a . few of the winter
months, aPiiitial exemption from the inflic
tion, we may safely count upon our "Seater"
supply as being, for two-thirds of each year,
a mere distribution of a nasty abomination,
to grow only the nastier with each succeed
ing year.
To meet this exigency, the City Council
have been already, authorized to contract a
new loan of 4;1,000,000, the proceeds: of
which are to be devoted to securing, in
some way, ptire -water for our citizens. The
authorities will, we are satisfied, apply to
every-Attainable source of informiition, arid
exhaust the whole field of inquiry in care
ful research, with uOmpUtetlt .* Pflhiecrini
aid, ,and having wisely in view not only the
present needs, but, the, prospective require
ments of themillion of human beings who,
, .
in another generation, may, occupy this scat
of industry and wealth. The importance:-
of adequately providing against all Roritin- -
, gencies for years to come cannot be too
highly appreciated. - - •

side . of - orrrAtbottom dollar," we shouhliookr 1"
to purity ar.d abundarico of supply as, the
paramount considerations. Of all the f)lans 1
which have been suggested. we propose a
recapitulation as follows :
1. From the Kiskiminetas. :This stream
was dried up last summer and for a period
did not exist. It is therefore out of the
question
2. The canal scheme, or the occupation of
the Westeru diviSion of the Pennsylvania
,Canal' from the mountains to this point.
But since .printing Our O . WII suggestions in
this. direction, We learn that the -present-oc-
citpation of this line, by, the West Pennsyl
vania railway, also puts this plan out of the
question
3, It is proposed to go up the Youghio-
glieny river to a point, say a distance of
seventeen miles frcm the cites .
there reach an elevation of 21 feet 3 inches
above low water mark here. This affords a
fall of 15 inches per. mile following.the
Course of the §treams. The mater-supply
thence•would tlndoubtedly be abundant and
of the finest quality, free from any disturb
ing causes. The present receiving reservoir
is 160 feet above lowrwater murk, but a
yroper conduit-pipe, having a capacity to pass .
0,000,000 gallons each 24 hours, would need
a grade or frill of only 12 inches per mile.
We should need, therefore, to elevate it only
156 feet to reach our reservoir. The cost of
-such a conduit is estimated nt $225,000 per
mile, or ittqtal for the 17 miles of $3,825,000.
Tito . pumplug-engiries, each of them compe-
tent to raise the'entire daily flow; with the
necessary reservoirs, connecting
,pipes and
engine-house would' cost say $400,000 more,
in all a total of $4,225,000.
But it is ascertained that, as the Mononga
hela describes a great bend, lige that of a
horse-shoe, in its course, an air-line route
would reach the same head f,f supply on the
Youghiogheny in eight and a half miles.
The work would be, per mile, considerably
more expensive, the conduit pipe would
cross the Monongahela tn•ice, over into Mif
flin and back to this Side, /necessitating two
aqueducts, each of which would be as ex
pensive.as one mile of the conduit on dry
ground. The total cost of this air-line, as
proposed, would be say $2,772,500.
Again, by using for the conduit, instead
of. the continuous chamber of brick, pipes of
cast iron, four feet in diameter; these, when
laid, would cost sl7s,oooper.inile, or $5O,
000 less than the brick conduit of the same
diameter. But as the friction is greater
in small than in large pipes.., a great
e'r fall must be allowed for, and the engines
would have to raise the water twelve feet
higher.
4. It is • proposed to go twit point on the
Allegheny river,•one hundred and six miles
above the city, conducting the water thence,
with a fall of two and a half feet per mile, in
conduit pipes, relying .upon gravity alone.
The cost of this: project is-evidently so.
Much greater as to forbid its , consideraiion.
5. Another plan is suggested, also taking
supply from the Allegheny, and which, we
are informed by a competent engineer,..
would entail a cost not more than half that
of the air-line supply. 'as above- estimated
from the - Youghiogheny. The suggestion
of this engineer is to go up the Allegheny,
say five miles only; l and remove the pump
ing engines to the upper end of the-island
above Sharpsburg, which might be six miles
from 'the present reservoir; dig four trenches,
one hundred feet apart,' and each from six
to eight hundred feet` long, and five or six
feet deep, in the middle of the
_rlier; lay
therein pipes perforated oil their upper surface
with small hol€4, and so oonstructed as to'
permit the raising of the top of the pipe when
choked; cover these pipes with gravel and
sand up flush with the bottom of the river
bed; the supply-pipes to the pumps to be
connected with these filtering pipes at about
the middle of the same, and. thereby, draw
ing the water tlg.ongh the 'filter-bed. front L
distance of say. four" hundred feet on each
side, and the supply pipe having fall enough
to conduct the water into a vault or cham
ber at the bank from whence the pumps
would lift it into a new receiving. reservoir
high enough to permit a flow thence to the
'present distributing reservoir This filter
- would have a surface of 320,000 square feet,
and WOuld cost say $50,000, and the whole :
cos% of the 'scheme is estimated at $1,360,000.
But this may be reduced by leading the
conduit in an air -line, passing near East'
Pberty, and saving a mile of, distance over
the river route; the redhction is estimated at
9,t 175,000, making the total cost per air -line,
oily $1,185,000.• • •
O. The same authority suggests another
plan, viz: To build a pair of parallel walls
on the gravel-bottom of the Allegheny at
a distance of four hundred feet from the,
shore, and of six hundred or eight hundred
feet In length - in the ..direction of the cur
rent; fill in between these walls with gravel,
. joining the . receinng :vault. by proper pipes,.
tapping the pure - element, which would in
'filtrate-up from beneath these walls. Based
upon the last named proposition, the same
authority s'uggest's the expediency of going
say . three - miles further up - the Jiver, to
ensure *eater freedom . from impurities, but
with a corresponding increase of expense.
It is well to bear in mind in connection
with thesUbject °filtration,- that it is a well
ascertained fact that water does not purify.
itself in a state of rest in the reservoir.

it is also to be - remembered that each of them,

[Special Correspondence of the Pittsburgh acette.]
• GREENSBURG,MareIi 1868:
Yesterday (Sabbath) the different pulpits
in Greensburg were, filled by the members
of the Conference: The• Methodist Church,
as usual' on such occasions, was the center
of attraction. A Conference Love Feast
was held at nine in the morning and was
well attended by ministers and rityrnen. It
was a season of refreshing to all; to the gray
haired pilgrim nearing the dose of the
Jour
ney, and to the young just starting as well. "I
Many a heart melted, and many an aye
overflowed, as past trials and triumphs were
recounted, and the joyful hope indulged of
ono dayl ,
"Gathering at the river,
IVhire bright angelitbet have trod." I
The venerable Robert Boyd, the oldest
member of the Conference, expressed - the
conviction that he was attending its session
for the; last time. He is solemnly and
j'patiently awaiting his transfer, and even
oyfully, singe -
"I brush the dews on Jordan's
..Werossing must be near."'
Sadlywillhe be ulissed, and long will
his memory be cherished by his brethren.,
The numbers increased until the hour for
preaching arrived, by which time the house
was crowded with worshipers, anxious' to ,
hear 'Bishop Kingsley. Ho chose: as his
text a Part of the 6th verse of `the 14th
chapter' of the gospel by St. John, "I am
the way, and the truth, and the life," and
preached a masterly sermon. Its - delivery
occupied an hour and' a quarter„ but the
immense throng, Many of whom were com
pelled. tia stand dating the entire service,
manifested nci•signs of Unessincsit. ,The
Bishop's manner is simple and dirkt, and.
the Sermon was full of thought and : at=_:
tended with great nnotien. Re will be.
MEE
I
heartily welcomed by. the Conference at its
ifilturelieisiori k botlitS* T rreacherand pre
' siding officer. At the close of the sermon
ten persons were ordained deacons.
In the afternoon, at three o'clock; Rev.
Edward I3irkett, formerly stationed at
Liberty street, 'in Pittsburgh, delivered :a
most effective sermon, after which three
1 persons Were ordained Eldera. Mr. Birkett
1 is justly recognized as a man of fine pulpit
powers and decided ability. Many of his
sermons. are model§ of fine thought and
' polished diction.
Dr. C. A. Holmes, President of the Wes
leyan University, Mount Pleasant, lowa,
preached in the Court House, -at the, same
hour, to
a a crowded audience. He , was
fornierly member of the Conference, and
occupied many of its prominent places.
- At night the Churoh was again filled to
hear the annual missionary sermon byßev.
James Henderson,rof Wellsville, O. Mr.
Hendeison received his appointment at the
last ' session. His -sermon was plain and
practical, and was an earnest appeal in be
half of the great ru(ssiopary interests of the
ehurch. -
This morning Conference met at the usua.
hour, and was opened with religious ser
vices-conducied ,y. Dr. George Loomis.
But little business` remained to be disposed
of. The Stewards made their final report,
which was adopted without discussion, ac- -
cording to previous . arrangement. The re
ports of the committees on Freedmen's
Aid Society and Church ExtenSion, laid ox
the table for further consideration, were
taken up and disposed of. The committee
on memoirs. also presented their report
which was adopted. 'Three members died
during the year, S. R. Brockheimer, T. J.
Higgins and Alex: Bell.
On 3 item of the report on Freedmen's Aid
Society demands notice. It recommends to
the General Conference the propriety of in
stituting a fundamental change in the Mis
sionary machinery of the church, dividing
it into different departments. -
Thursday afternoon o r next year's session
was I appointed IA a time for a memorial
•meeting.
A resolution was also adopted reCom
mending, the next General Conference to so
-revise the ritual that there will he a uniform
rule for conducting religious services in the
M. E. Church. .•.
The Committee on Tract Cause reported
as the aggregate collection for the year
$473 40, an increase of $5l on last year.
The-business, hiving all been disposed of,
the closing hour arrived, an hour_ full of
deep interest to every itinerant minister.
Many go,toliew and untried fields of labor,
and all leave with the deep conviction that
at the next j roll-call some will
,be missing
and the Bishop and Secretary be called upon
to write after their nam e s—deceased. With
tearful eyes hasty farewells are uttered and
each hastens away to his new home .to toil
and suffer for the Master.
