THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY. OCTOBER 23, 1877 e —————— MINISTERS’ MEETINGS. Tegular Weekly Gatheriog of the City Das. tors, The Methodist mintsters held thielr uanal weekly meeting yestorday morning, the Rev, Mr. Kellogg conducting the opening religious exerciacs. Elder Jatkins called attentlon to the fact that officers would have to be elected. On motlon, Messrs. Williamson, Youker, and Boring were appointed & committee to make pominations. After conferring together, they reported as follows: Prestdent—The Rev. W. C, Willing. Vice- Prestdenl—The Re' 'A. Labor, Secretary—The Rev, T. Frecutire Committee~The HReve, A. Gurney, Jolin Atkinson, and John Schuell, The report was concarred In, and Brother Willing, on taking the chalr, said he was before the bretbren for prayers—before Viem for work. 1t would be a matter of griel o him I he thought ho should undertake to do uis work without thelr heartlest co-operation. {1e hiad the bigzest Jobon his hands Le over bad lad~—the largest and heaviest pastoral wark In the world. I anything should send & man on his knees It was that, The fact thst Brother Jutkine worked so faithfully seemed to the speaker to fncrease his responsibility. 1t secin- ed to liim there was broader work than had ever teen done. He had the fullest conviction that. Mcthodismn was of God. Though bLorn and brought up.a Presbyterian, ho didn't think be was _any the worse for it As soont ss ho came to matusity, he realized that tha Methodist Churchi was the true church, and he needed to be prayed for Lo be Saved from bigory In that direction.

I lie told funny storles, to do which he was inclined, he ought to be rebuked, since ft was & poor way to spend time when there was work to do. If they stirred each other mentally, they would be ytreatly helptul, and God would give them a bleased year, Elder Jutkins, {n retiring, said that for the first filtcen years of his ministre, as the resull of half-meant remarks he nad heard, be had had the lmpression that he would locate before Tie became Prestding Elder, That sawe lnpre sion was upon the mind of every youug ma though thoroughly pure and honest, aud it was caused by the somowhat fippant remarks of ministers and people In reference to the oilee, In laying down tho work, be did so with a sense of rellef, but with the feelinz that there was no actunl practical work fn Methodism of greater fmportance than that of the Presiding Fider. He kept the ministry up to pitch, Unless tined, a plano did not give forth musie, A diligent ef- fort had neen maie to sccure reports from min- isters to the Quarterly Conference. He wished the laymen would hol TREACHERS TO AN ACCOUNT for thelr work, ulhc( ought to be held to ac- count. Nomen, ICdisposed to_shirk, were lees responsible than ministers. They worked not fora commission, but fora lnluiy‘ Nothing coulil put aprod {nto them oxcept the Quarterly Conference. An ciliclent miuistry would be deé- veloped If the reports were. muade that the dis- cipltne cailed tor, and which ministers had sol- emnly bromized to moke. e bad also sought tobring up the class-neetinz system. Grant that it was his hobby. Ile hoped that the prop- osition, that the reform of n great body could not he accomvlished, would proveuntrue, If it wos fmpossible to bring about re- forn, & pgreat denl of the work do- g~ was useless, DIg his hoarcrs know that if next Sunday morning every seat in every Protestant ehuieh fn Chivago were fllled theroa would be 400,000 people out of thechureht In thut great muss was the social, polit religlous problem of this city, and, through this vity, of the Inud. . Did they’ know and realize that 8o great a proportion of the people were leaving out the great eloment of welf-govern- ment,—the cultivation of the consclence, What wero they tado! 1le did not_know of anything except to start a church for these people, with conditions adapted to them. If thers was such a chureh in Chicugo he dldn’t know of {t. Thera were churches adupted “to well-dressed, pros- perous, and ehumh-fin(nlz people. Pews wwere owned and ocenpled by them; the minlaters ln the pulpit were sdapted to them, and poor churches were struegling to get into this atmosphere. What was nceded were churches formed of poor people, common people, luboring lmnu!u.—churchcn formed out of waterinl that had never liyed In the atinoaphere of Chirlstian influcnees, and in which eyerything was adupted to them, They conld not be reachied by minis- ters visiting them. Another plan must be de- vised. What, he did not know. e believed there was a beefoning in that direction, which, it properly enltlvated, would resuit fu the * cont sammation devoutly to be wished, The great. cat mistake Methodism ever made was in letting the fence do While human naturo existed, men would want to gu inslde of an inclogure to sco what was golng on. He commonded this thought ta the miulsters as somcthing worthy of thelr attentlon. Bomcbody would go into this work and orzunizo n class church, Ho didn’t sco any harm fo that, A church was needed for peoplo who knew notbing about 8 plano, but could appreciate & bras band. In conclusion, he sald he en- tered upon his pastorate expecting the blessing of God. Ho dld not part with the brethren entirely, The Mintsters’ Aasociation belonzed to thie whole Northwest, umil ke would perhaps be with them more or I [Ap- plause.] TUANKS AND GOOD WIBIES, The Rev.

The reslutions were adopted by a risiog vote, m;r_ue Rev, Mr. Willlaimson offered tha follows Retoleed, That we, the Chicsgo Preachers’ Mecting, requeat our Brestding Klder to take I mediate acllon, according to the rulo of thy Disci- Pline, louking to the oryanization of a District ‘onference in the Chicago Distzict, o sald the object was 1o hold those appolut- €d to work resnonsible for thelr Adelity to it. ‘The Rev, Mr. Caldwell remarked that (f it was contemplated to_ traj Quarterly Conlerenco, he was upposed to the resolutlun, ¥ Mr. Willlamson sald fifty of the local preach- ers could bo used in the work Brother .rutklnl Lt alluded to.

Ile couldn'’t sve how o District Conferenco was going to work the vlass of men who hud licenses lu thelr pockets, but gave no ocular demoustration of the fact. Mr. Youker lgilk\l in favor of the scheme, since a Istrlct Confercuce wus well qualified to deal with traveling and local ministers, The Rev.

The Rev, Mr. Spencer raid that fhere wosa maultitude of people who could not be gottenin- to the Church cxcept by secondary agencles, ‘The local preachers should elevate them ont of thelr firat position of rebellon against Chriat, and lead them to hear the ministers. One o the features of the weakness of Methadiets was the individuality of chitrelies. It wasimportant to et the laymen togetber and fecl that they were one. The Rev.

Mr. Philllps’ Statement Controverted by Ex- Recrotary Fish. Roston Krening Tranacript, Bome statements having been mwade by Mr. Phillivs in bis lecture at Newton last cveulng that dealt with questiona and persous of peen- Nur intercst to Bustonians, Mr. Fisb, who Is at present fu this ity aa delegate to the Eplscopal Convention, was waited upon by a reporter this wmorning, and during the conversation that fol- lowed the fucts related below were brought out: With repard to the allezed negligence of the Iate Mr. Sumuer while Chairinan of the Forclzn Affairs Corumittee, Mr. Fish said it was n foct that was susceptibie of proof from thie Senato records that drafts of treaties, from eizht to ecleven In number, remafned in the hands of the Commitice lor scveral months, some of them, as near as Mr, Fish could remember, for more than two years, Mr., Fish did not finpute this delay of public business to nctzllm:nre on the part of Mr, Bum- ner; the fact, however, remained that business was dclayed, together with another fact, that after Mr. Sutuner's retiracy the entire batel of treatics waus disposcd of fu Iess than four manths. The reasons for the removal of Mr. Sumner from the Chalrmanship of the Forclen Afalrs Committec were then spoken of. The state- ment that P'reeident Grant placed the 8an Do- mingo trcnly into Mr. Sumner's hands, as relat- cd by Mr. Phillips, Mr. Fish characterized s ridiculously untrue. The President never had the treaty papers in his possession, They were in the hands of the Becretary of State, "The facts were these: The President, In couveraation with Mr, Bumner, lald nefore that gentleman the featurea of the treaty, ‘This inforination was fmparted orally; no written or printea document was read to the Semator. Mr, Sumner made no oppesition to any of its features: indecd. so warmly did he express his approval of [t that a gentlcuan prescut at the interview, who, prior to that time, had placed Ulmaclf in opposition to the measure, was made frisndly to it solely by ths arguments used by Mr, Sumner. Mr. Fish saga that Ms. Bumner continued to favor the treaty until tho aclection of o Com- missloner to Sun Domingo came ur for settle- ment, and when he found that J. M. Ashley, of Olifo, was not to be the nominee, e then all at once lost fntercst In the treaty, until finally he placed hitmeell in direct opposition to it, The couversation between President Grant and Mr. Sumner took place toward the lust of December, 1850, o the [at of January followlnir, ond_in February, Mr, Fish says, two Senators, Carl Behurz and Mr. 8tewart, of Nevada, geutlo- men of oppeeite political viows, canvassed the Benate, mu?mun\] tho treaty could not pasa that bady, that it was dead, :\f;. Sumner was not removed from the For- efgn Comnittecat the reassembling of Con- gress (o the fall, but upou the meeting of the new Congress in 1871 e was nat reavpofuted, fis term had explrea; be was not removed. ‘There were good reazons for his being left off tho Comtnittee at this time, Mr. Fish thinks. e was not at that thne on apeaking terms with cither the President or the SBevretary of Btate,— = tnost unpleasant state of thinzs to cxist be- tween the holder of go finportant a position ns lllt filled and the first otlleers of tho Adminlstra- thon. Mr, Fish, on being aaked whetlier he had ever wrged the English mission upon Mr. Sumner, sold there was a long ulur{ cobnected with that, which hie proceeded to tell, aa tollows: e called u Mr. Buinuer one day Inthe spring of 1870, sud, Anding that gentleman in seewnlng great distress, sald to hims ** Mr, Sum- ner, you are Wrouging yoursell to lat thiugs trouble you as you do. Now the Ban Dominge treuty {8 “dewd; the BSenata hus been canvasseil by men of both skles, avd 1L can’t go through, Why don't you report it, and have doue with 1t Mr. Sum- ner replied, with much emotion, * Mr. Fisl, you can’t understand my sltustic Your fam- ily relations are all pleasant. Why, many and many & night when 1 go to bed 1 altmost wish that'l way never awake!! Mr, Fish advised him to seek now scenes; told him he was getting morbld over his troubles, anc spnke of a visit to Europe s temporary relfef, Mr, Sunner said e couliln’t 2o, 08 b had his book to finfsh. Mr, Flah said that needn’t interfere, The Duk uke of Argyll aud others In England would be glad to rece{vn him futo thelr houses, whers he would be shown abundant npxmrluul&{ for study amnd writing, Mr, SBumner then advanced the ob- fection that he could not well afford the ex- pensc, Upon this, Mr, Fish saye be incautfous- ly remarked: * Why not go as Mlulster" This was ssid on the inoment, without previous thougnt, and was the result of Mr. Flsh's warm lrlemllh‘[l for nnd personal interest in Mr. Sutn- ner, The Beeretary for the fnstant forgot, (n s pervonal symputhy, that he was a Govern- ment ofticer, Ar.” Sumuer, ho said, brightened up st once wheu this sugzestion was dropued, and bis cageruess somowhat ulnrmed Mr. Fish, whao then saw that he had sald too much, Mr, Sumner sald he dld not llke to interfere with Uls friemd Motley, upon which Mr. Fish, secing an opportunity to retrace his steps, tohl him ho might go {u bis private capacityy that there would bu a lobg recess of Congress, which would give him ample thne to mnake a visit sbrogd. Mr., Flsh says this was ail the “urz- lug " ho exercised upon Mr. Suuiner to take the mfillou to St. Jumes. . The reason for Mr. Motley's removal was found lu considerations of state, e misropre- sented the Government on the Alabama ques- tlou, especially In the two speecies made by him before his arrival at his past. Mr, Fish said bo siways cutertafued the bigh- est feclings of fricndship aud csteem for Mr. Motley, snd it pained bim when he wus furced tocominuuicate with Mr. Morun, our Consul at Liverpool, Instead of Mr. Motley. Ar. Fish denied the conversation between him and Mr, Sumner, whereln the latter sald, *5ir, you sru the toul of the President for Luse pur- l)onu, and this removal s out of spite.”” Mr. Phillips, he sald, quoted this (rom a speech pur- ronl to Lave been dellsered by Mr. Sumner u the United Stutes Senate. But that specch was never delivered. Three tines did this op- rnfluuny J,mueu; itaelf wheu it wight Lave been utroduced, but upon ueither occasion was it heurd. About a bundred copies of it werc priuted tor sewml-private circulatlon, and one eentleman having o copy of it read it befora an assewbly of twenty-five or thirty, amoug whom wes a méwber of the Washivgton press, sud :hrfiu;h bim §t becse known to the Adwminis- ration. . Mr. Fish sald, in speaking of the attitude of Carl 8churs, that ho was in sympathy with Mr. Suwwer in unfricodly fecting toward the late Aduifolstration, and he thought an examiuation of the eulogy prouounced by Mr. Curtis upon Mr. Sumuper in city would fail to discover ony of tho assertions reflecting upon Gen, ?uunt’l goverpuwent found in the spesch of Alr, urz. e — A Dog, & Mau, and = AMule, Atlanta (Gu.} Constitution. A North Caroilua wazouer sold bis dog to a Laurens Couuty wan the other day for halta barrel of sorgluw sirup. The do, however, refused to be suld sud took refuzo under the wagow, Tho Laurcus Cousty wan crawled adter him swith a plece of meat In one aand and a rope in the ather. Although there were peveral spectators of the scene that ensued, 1t Is dini- onlt to get at the facts. All agres that there wan a scuflle under the wagon, sccompanied by yelpa and yeils; but no one is willing to aflirin that the man had the dog or the dog hal the nan. Finally, the dog, ne it would reem, brushied up azainst the hind legs of the off mule and then all waa atill. It Is not certalz what kllied the dog. One of the spuctators safd he thought he heard a trace-chaln rattle, but when hie went round to examine the mule sbe was asleen. The man had lost his hat, his enat, nmil the greater part of his trousers, and sihsequent examination nroved that the dog died with ong ear and & handful of hair In his mouth. e —— T NASBY.

Judxie Howard is & Virginian by birth, a young mau of magniticent Yhynlml proportivus, who aistinguished limsclf In the Confederate army hl{ his daring and coolness in wmany battles, ekirmishes, nod Individual rencontres with the Federal troops. Some of his cxploits were war- vels of Intrepidity. Although frequently wound- ed, hishealth bas not suffered in tholeast, After [y mx::gurnm'uly brief course of wtinly, he rrasped the theory and practice of the luw, an h: o short time he' beeawe one of the ablest at- tornevs at the Sau Antonto Bar. e subsc- quently removed to 'El Puso, where, comblnfy, with Cardis, the Republican regfme which cons trofled the elections aml the county was overs thrown, Howurd was rewarded—thanks in a great measure to Cardis—by the appuintment of District Judge, which was tendered him by Gov. Cake. HBeing very ambitious, a feud arose between him and Carnlis, Louls Cardls is an [talian by birth, and served under Garibaldias a Cuptuin, Ile 1s an expe- rienced pollticlan, being u man of great shrewd- ness and nerve. le understands the Mexican churacter to perfection; hence it is not strange that ‘he can command thelr votes, their scrvices, and ucrhaps even thelr lives, such influence dves he exert over them, In the contest for political supremacy Cardls was victorious, runnjuer as an Independent tor the Texas Senate, and beatlng Ilowarl, who wua the regular nomince. There was_afight Inthe strectsof Austinin which Cardis rather got the worst of it, and there was quite o recent dificulty st El Puso which ro- sulted in Howard being indicted for attempting to kill and_murder, and e was In the hauds of tho Bherill at the thme he was seized by an artned Mexiean Joree, tied hand and fuot, placed 1 4 wagrou, uud taken to San Elizario.

The fmportance of theso salt Yunds ] ovrlm:l to the fact that, there belug cothing of the kind in that purt of Mexico wljacent to El Puaso County, large quuutities wers exported to quile a distance oto the interior; in fuct, the laree City of Chikuabun, lu Mcxico, obtalns fts salt supply principally from this source.

Tue route is in danger of teing broker up by In- diaws, and Cardls has made jucessant applica- tion lor troops. ‘The friends of Howardallege that Cardis is at the bottom of the whule trouble, be having the double deslign of causing the Mexicans to murder Howan! and thus get nid of & rival, and at the same tinie vecessitate the sending of troops to El Paso, which would ussist him” in lus mail arraugements, What futdation there is fn a1 this it {a Impussible 10 tell ut this distance from the scene of sctfon.

THE KEELEY MOTOR. The Result of an Investigntion of Its Werits and Demerits, Philadelyhia Dulistin, Oct, 18, As the result of an Investigation of the merits and demerits of the Keeloy motor,—an Investi- gation extending over several years,—the fol- lowing statement of oplulous can scarcely fail to be of interest to the publie. It should be premised that theso opinfons are not urged as authoritative; all that can be clatmed for them is that they arc the utterances of fntellizent men who, from baving a flrm faith fo the value of tno motor nvented by Mr. Keeley, liave come o belleve that it is valueleas, . Mr. Keeley unquestionnbly has made & discov- ery that mnyd)one-l—thnt robably docs pos- ecss—sclentific valuo; proctically, however, It Is worthless, In urging it upoa the public he is not gullty of fraud; ho simply s lsboring under adelusion, This delusion extends to all active- 1y cogawed {n furthering the coterprise. The social and business standing of the gentlemen whom he has gathered about him, and who have contributed funds for ng on the work, is such os absolutely to forbid the assumption that anything but the purcst honesty characterizes the undertaking. The practical disalilities which prevent the motor from fullilling it avowed "purpoes of moving machinery at an equal cost with steam ~-i% shiould be remembered that much less cost {s claimed for ft—are these: Fimit, the machinery necessary to produce the power that Mr. Keeley claims to produce, and that he cer- tainly does produce with {t, s so costly as to place it beyond the reoch of ordinary manu- fucturers. The machine now in use cost more thun $60,000, and whils subscquent machines would cost very considerably less, as appliances und methods of construction become simplified, the cost would still be Jurely In exvess of that of the ordinary steam-eneine. (2) In manipu- lating each encine the services would be requir- ed, uot of an ordinary encineer, but of & man of exceptiong] scfantitlc attainments, who would thoreuchly understand the theory of its working, and woulil be prepared to act 1o sud- den and dangerous emergencles, (3) The re- sults obtalned aro altogether uncertaln, Before direct results are socured, prelimivary resulls must be seeured ; that is, the couditiou of work- jng s de{nendcnt upon the contingeney of befng in a condition to work, and neither state Is wholly within the controt of the manipulator. Mr. Keeley himselt can never predict with cer- tajuty the result of anattempt to start the en- gine Into motion: every manipulation that he makes partakes of the nature of an experiment. The engine oy or may not respond to bls at- tempt to start i, In short, it 18 beyond tho power of Lls control; atd all of his effurts to bring It under bis control—cflorts constantly made durine s number of vesrs—lave been futlle, ’1) Even admitting that he may over- come this difliculty, the results obtalned are so violent thst thesho-kund jaruponthicmachinery tend raplaly to weaken it and ueccssitate continual- expouse for repalrs, (5) 1t 1s ime posaible to priciuce the power In volume sullle clently grest to run tnachinery with it uninte rantedly ; uctnully, the thiie’ required for g ating u given smotnt of power §s greater thy the tiuie that same amonnt of power will main- tuln the muchluery in moth A sixth disabiljty, but of less finportance than elther of the others, is touud i the fact that the puwer is not applicable to any existiug form of steam engiue, ‘To utllize it 8 new furm of en- gtue must be devised, aud onw of wuch nicer construction than even the finest of thuas now used in cotinection with steam; the extreme aubtlety of the vapor requiring 8 closencss of ‘mmlnz fur beyond suything vet accomnplisbed u practical wechanics.
