ill Long on the I Alb uf August lor Tit Vtir York Blot. This sad nHWrj of which wo gave a brief account last week, is provoking comment all over the and the discussion of its various hut occupied large space in the New York dailies during the part week.

It been kaown for weeks that the Orangemen Intended to make a parade on the 18th of Joly, Md that this parade would have an effect and tended to provoke a riot. It absolutely unpardonable that In in Impending contingency wbkh endanpired the public peiice.the dty government Hnd the State Government dkl wise line or ncdon provision determine upon line or ncdon by which they would flrmly In nn attitude of muliml rapport.

We know not, not confer with each other, and by termine upo ey would flr liml rapport and care not to by whoMlhult It Is, that the plainest maxims of polltlciil prudence were disregarded In tbU foreseen emergency. But quite sure we arc tlmt If Mayor Hall dkl not consult with Oov.

Either the policy first adopted by the Mayor, or the policy substituted at the tail moment by the Governor, would bari been defensible but Ingenuity seeks In Tain for any adequate defense of their want of concert and mutual support. White we would not have advlfted the suppression of the parade as an original proposition, we surely would not him abandoned It alter it ami been once adopted and proclaimed.

If it had been adliered to, It would at least have had the merit of success. Mad there been no procession there wnukl hare been no riot and we know no good reason why the caprice of two hundred bigoted Orangemen should subject the city to the calling out of ten thousand militia to put down irob which would not have gathered without their provocation. The Oovernor's flnal action la generally applauded but If that was the proper course to pursue, he Is Inexcusable for reaching so tardy a decision. Prom the Tribune. TUB TAMMABY IIIOT.

Methodism in- Iowa, The following statistics are compiled from papers read before the recent Methodist Convention at Iowa City: The first Methodist sermon preached within thu limits of the present State of Iowa wns preached nt Dubuque, Nov. Olh, 1833, by Rev, Barton Randall, in the tavern of James Harrison, on the site ot tbe present Julien House. In the spring of 1834 a subscription was raised lo build a log meeting house, nt a cost of $255.

This was the first house of worship in Iowa. It has always been claimed that ihe first Methodist sermon in Iowa was preached in Burlington, but this seems not to be true. 'However, in 1834, Rev. Barton H. Cartwright entered Iowa as a preacher.

Determined to go to his w.ork at his own cost, he took with him from Illinois four yoke of oxen and the necessary implements to carry on a farm. During the week he labored, and on the Sabbath-gathered together such as wonld listen to him, and addressed them. He preached his first sermon in Iowa in 1835, at the house of Dr. William R. Ross, on North Hill, from the text, "Whom wo preach," etc.

After the sermon class of seven members was formed, of whom Dr. Ross was the leader. The same summer the celebrated Peter Cartwright visited Burlington nnd held a two days'meet- ing. May 30th, 1835, the first quarterly meeting in Iowa was held at Burlington, at which time eighteen joined the church. In 1838 there were 191 members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1860, 1870, 00,870.

The aggregate value of church property is $1,502,200. During the last thirteen years they have built, on an overage, 21 churches and 10 parsonages a year. The salary of their ministers has averaged 1840 the ratio of E. Church members to tho population of the 'State was 3.65 per cent; in 1870, 5.10 per cent Adding to the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church that of the other branches of the Methodist family, they number 72,567, while the aggregate membership of all the other Evangelical Churches in the State, including 10,000 Friends, is only 71,631, a result that is hardly to be believed were it not supported by figures.
