Renewed Charges of Bulljlsni Against the Baltimore Team The New York Men Fairly Frightened Oat of Yictory How the Records Stand. About 3,000 peoplo witnessed a base ball contest at St. George, S. yesterday which completely disgusted every reputable patron of the game present. The occasion was tho first appearance of the Baltimore team at St, George, and thoy afforded the crowd a fair Bample of what professional base ball playing would eventually como to be If the rowdy, blackguard tactics of tho existing Baltimore team, headed by their bully captain, wore allowed to become the rule of play.

No team ever had a bettor chance to win a gamo than tho Mets had yesterday at tho end of the fifth Inning, but thoy allowed themselves to be Impudently bulldozed out of it, and thar, too, with tho umpire having full power to put a stop to the bullying kicking indulged in, but who had not the courage to do his duty. In six innings of the game tho Mots outplayod the' visitors, but In two Innings they lost tholr heads and the gamo, too. The score below gives the figures: METROPOLITAN. I BALTIMORE. B.lB.r.O.

Such contests as that of yesterday, It allowed to become tho rule of professional playing, would drive every lady patron having auy respect for hor Bolf Irom the grand stands aud attract the vory rlf rafT of the populace who rush to see every slugger of tho pugilistic fraternity mash hia opponent to insensibility. The Met3 had a lesson in daring, reckless base running givon them yesterday which thoy ought to profit by. Holbert's generating ot of the field was badly missed yesterday. At Cincinnati yesterday tho Louisvllles, who are now playing good ball again, took the Cincinnntls into camp by 12 to 11; and that, too, with Mullano in tho box.

But Ramsey again pitched a strong gamo for Loulsvillo. No other American club gamo was played East or West. Tho record to day stauds as follows: fir i Cluba WAY HE DID WOT MON THEM. Tbo Governor Gives Hi Ilejisons for Disapproving. Certain Bills.

Following ore the memoranda filed by the Governor with some of the more important bills that were not signed: Assembly bill Ho. 1,026, to appropriate 5,000 for the expenses of a commission to be appointed for tho purpose of making examinations and trials of recent Inventions of military small arms, suitable for the use of the National Guard. The principal argument urged in support of this bill is the necessity of correspondence in caliber botweon tho arms used by the State and by the United States. It is considered probable that the United States will soon make examinations and trials with reference to a change of the caliber of the arms carrlod by United States troops. Consid erlnghe superior facilities which the General Government has for making examinations, trials and tests of military inventions, there seems to bo no good reason why the State should at the present time undertake to make experiments which are apparently unnecessary, nor does there appear to be any bucU pressing necessity for Immediate action that we cannot afford to wait for the doelslon ot the General Government.

Sonato bill No. 457, to define the duties of dock masters in tho City of New York. Defectively drafted. This bill proposes' to define tho duties of dock masters by referenco to a previous act, whlah is referred to only by a mloquotod title without mention of chapter, year or Ojate of passage. The courts would not undertake to identify tho act referred to.

As tho substance of the bill depends entirely upon tho roforenco to the previous atatute, tho bill woul have no effect if It bocame a law. I regret exceedingly that my approval of this bill would bo useless, as the objecti Bought to be gained aro thoroughly approved by tho local authorities of Now York City, and aro, as I believe, highly meritorious. But this error cannot now bo corrected so as to give the bill any vitality, without calling an extra session of the Legislature. Tho Legislature ought to employ compo'ont counsel to bo chargod with the responsibility of seeing that all such errors In bills are called to the attenliop. of tho Legislature before final action la then had thereon.

Seuato bill (not to authorize business corporations organized under chapter OH, of the act of 1875, to mortgage their real estate Defectively drafted. This bill should tare boon drafted to amend section 13, of tho act of 1875, which provides that tho corporations formed thereunder may Issue bonds, but by manifest oversight omitted to authorize the execution of mortgages to secure such bonds. This bill, however, is dratted as independent of and merely supplemental to tho act of 1875, and provides that "ovory corporation formed under this act" may mortgago, etc. But no corporations can be formed under "this act." Corporations formod uudor the net of 1875 were evidoutly intended. If this bill should become a law the authority of the corporations formed under tho act of 1875 to mortgage thoir real estate would still remain substantially as doubtful as at present.

No practical benefit would therefore result from executive approval of this bill. I regret this vory much, as it ia desirable that these corporations should have unquestionable authority to mortgage their real proporty, and ns tho absence of such authority is clearly a cams omissus in the original act. Assem bly bill No. 560, to amend section 2 of chapter the Laws of 1870, relating to tho assessment of real estate ou a of boudod dout iuccurrod in tho construction of railfoadB. Defectively drafted.

Tho chapter proposed to bo amended by this bill having boon entirely repealed by section 0 ot chapter 336, of the Laws of 18S0, Is be ybud the possibility of amendment. This hill Is another of the frequently recurring Illustrations of the propriety of my repeated rocom moudation to the Legislature that competent counsel should bo employed by thorn to seo that nil bills should be In propor legal form beforo thoy reach the Executivo chamber. Senate bill No. 557, to amend ohapter 269, of the Laws of 1880, rolntlug lo the roviow of illegal, erroneous aud unequal asseasmonts by allowing costs ngalnst tho municipality in all casos where Judgment shall be directed in favor of the petitioner. As the law now standB the petitioner does not recover costs unless it shall appear to the court that the assessors or other officers acted with gross uog ligonce, in bad faith, or with malice.

This Is as far as tho law ought to go in awarding, costs to tho petitioner. It should bo borne in mind fhat the act of 1880 is essentially a mattor of favor to the party assessed. He has his "day in court" and it is his duty to appoar bofore tho assessors, when thoy sit, according to duo notice to hear complaints and correct their rolls. If he fails so to appear, and afterward finds faint with his assessment, he should not be allowed costs for moro correction of inadvortont errors on tho part of the assessors, Assombly bill No. 338, directing tho Commissioners of Excise of the Town of Corning, in Slouben County, to pay one half of tho monoys arising from licenses for the salo of liquor In the Village of C'oru ing to the St.

Joseph's Orphan Asylum of said village. Tho poor authorities throughout tho State are now prohibited by law from allowing pauper children to remain in the poor houses, and aro required to place them Instead in orphan asylums controlled by authorities of tlio same roligious faith as tho parents of such ohlldren, or In famillos. Under this law all tho various orphan asylums are, or are entitled to be, paid by the propor authorities for tho support of all tho pauper children In their custody. Orphan asylums have tho caro of but very children who aro not entitled 'to entire or partial support from the regularly eoiistitutod poor funds. These asylums should be fully paid for tho caro of such children under oxiating laws.

For tho State to go further and authorize them to receive public monoys for tho support of Indigout children who aro not legally entitled lo receive help from the poor authorities would be a dangerous precedent The Governor says that tho reason he refused to sign the bill allowing tho First Brlg.ido to use Con tral Park for parade purposes was bocauso tho dty authorities opposod the measure.

They, moreover, relato to transactions not embraced in the momorial, and which aro said to have occurred subsequently to thedatoof that document These charges the presiding older refused to entertain and declined to give his reasons therefor. Tho complolnanta wrote him more explicitly and pointed out tho Beotlons of tho Discipline under which the.complatnt was laid, to which ho responded, after some Irrelevant remarks, by recommending the complainants and those who thought with them to leave tho church if they could not get on with their pastor.

Theso charges and specifications havo boen rldl culoil by a portion of tho Bocular press as too trifling to require consideration. Well, these gontlomen will, I trust, In tho exuberance of their Christian charity, overlook my dissent Irom their opinions aud allow me to say that few Christian ministers or' laymen familiar with the Scriptures aud with the Methodist discipline, will so regard them. Certainly tho engendering ot a party spirit in a church and creating ill blood over tho communion tablo, to say nothing of a violation of discipline iu tho reception of members into tho church, nffeetlne as it does tho very composition of the church, and being organic In Its nature, are propor subjects of complaint. Iu tho vory address mado by tho pastor at tho communion are those words: "Ye that do truly and earnestly repent of your sins, and are in love and charily wich your neighbors, and intend to load a new life, following the commandments of God. walking from hencotorth iu his holy ways, take this holy sacramont to yourcomfort." Whether those dorout words and tho wholo naturo and design of the sacramont are in accordance with tho address and exhortations complained of by thoso local brethren, It does not require much ncutonoss to determine.

Yet thoso constitute but a portion of the specifications presented with tho chargos. To my mind it would be difficult to concoive of anything more objectionable in tho manner of administering tho sacramont aud iu somo of tho other matters described. It may bo askod, "What rule of. dlscipllno was violatod by Pastor Milieu, supposing thoso sialo menis to be true?" And, "What was Presiding Elder Adams' duly in tho premisos To answer theso questions lot us look into the discipline, par. 214, sec.

1. 1. When a member of an annual conference is undor report of boing guilty of somo crime expressly forbiddon in the word of Ood, suIl ciout to exclude a person from tho kingdom of grace and glory, in tho intorval botweon the sessions of tho annual conference tho prosidiug older shall call not less than Ilvo nor moro than nine mombers of the conference to investigate tho caso." 2. In ca3es of improper tempers, words or actions, tho person so offending shall be admonished by his senior In office. Should a second transgression take place one, two or throo ministers or preachers are to bo taken as witnesses.

If bo be not then cured let tho presiding elder procoed as in par. 211, sec. 1. In Baker on tho Discipline, tho highost authority on ecclosiastical law in the M. E.

Church, sec. undor (ho heading, "Church Offupses," it is said: "All ncilonable ofleusos may he brought under one of tho following rules: 1. A crime expressly forbidden by tho word of God sufficient to excludo a porson from the kingdom of grace and glory. 2. Neglect of duties and'of tho moans of grace, imprudent conduct, indulging sinful words, tempers or actions, the buying, solliug or using of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, dancing.playing at games of chance, attending theaters, honso races, circuses, dancing parties, or patronizing dancing schools, ox taking such otltor amusements as are obviously of misleading or questionable moral tondency, or disobedience to tho ordor ami discipline of tho church.

Hero follow three moro subdivisions or classifications of offenses, but thoir enumeration is of no moment for tho purposes of my argument. The learned author proceeds: "If the oftenso belong to tho first class, no church labor is necessary before tho presentation of tho charge; in all other casos preliminary stops must be taken." My opinion Is that thee chargos do not como under tho first hoad, and consequently the presiding older could not bring tho accused before an investigating committee to answor for his couduct: but thoy clearly camo under the aecond head, and It was unquestionably tho duty of the presiding oldor, if ho boliov od tho allegations, to admonish the pastor in private; if he changed his course tho full end of disciplino would bo obtained; If not, then on a second offense tho accused 9hould bo admonished In tho presonce of "oue, two or throo and "If not then cured," It is the theory of this ecclesiastical statute that a matter which at first was of tho mild form of iraprurlenco or other minor offense culminates into a crime and Is to be treatod as such by bringing tho accused before an investigating committee possessing power to inflict punishment commeuaurato with tho offon30. I regard this provision of tho ecclesiastical lair as not only merciful to tho offender, but wise In Its Influence upon tho Church, answering tho highest ends of all punishmont, tho correction of tho offender and an example for tho benefit of others, bosido being calculated to romove from society tho effects of tho evils complained of. But if tho presiding elder, who is an executivo officer, declines to take the preliminary stops required by tho Discipline, and he cannot be compelled to act In the premises, tho way to reach tho offense is blockod and a griovanco may bo continuod Indefinitely. But fortunatofy there is a provision of law to moot such a caso, as we Bhall Bee horeaftor.

Light may be thrown upon this subject by considering tho duties of a presiding elder. And, first, aa to his appointment: "Presiding oldors are to bo chosen by tho bishops, by whom they aro also to bo stationed and changed" par. 1G9). Second, from among tho dutlo3 specified I select tho following from par. 171: "In tho absenco of a bishop to take chargo of all the elders and deacons, traveling and local preachera and oxhorters in his district" And "to take care that every part of our discipline bo enforced in his district." Obviously, If the prosidlng eldor refuses to act In any given case, tho aggriovod parties have thoir remedy in a formal complaint to tho bishop; aud should tho bishop himself rofuse remedy, the case may be carrlod to the gouoral conlorence, wbon tho highest tribunal in the church may dotormiuo both tho wisdom of those officers iu their official and tho right in thoir exocutivo capacity to rofuso to attend to such offensea when presented by responsible complainants.

"Complaint against the administration of a bishop may bo forwarded to the gouoral couforenco and entertained there provided that iu its judgment he has had duo notico that such complaint will bo mado" (Discipline, 18S4, paragraph 213). But what is to ho dono should tho accused de jy th minor chargos? Undoubtedly, tho presiding oldor mu3t satisfy hlmsolf as to tho truth of the chargos by an Investigation of the lostimouy In tho presence of plaintiff an'', defendant only, oralilodby tho counsel of a soloct numhor of his ministerial brethren, or by somo other mothod which would Buggest itsolf to a prudout administrator desirous at oiico to protect tho Just rights of tho prenchor undor his care and tho religious interest of tho congregation. Thus it will bo soon that ampli rrevlsion is mado by tho Disciplino of the M. E. Church to correct abusos, to euro offenders and to promoto tho onds of truth and Justice, The wisdom of our lathers In framing this excellent manual, though obvious onough in its ritual and in the constitution of tho chucch, is most conspicuous iu tho Christian spirit evincod in ifs criminal codo, lis wholo procoduro is based upon the practical teachings of tho Now Testamont, and as a Methodist I am not afraid to challougo for it tho scrutiny of all Christian churches.

In this caso thoro can be no suspicion of anything moro than an error iu Judgment on tho part of tho administration, and it will bo soon that ovou for this tho Dfscipliuo provides an adoquato remedy. Tho Methodist is the only church that makes a regular annual examination of tho charactor of its ministers, and this practice prevails among all branches of tho denomination tho parent body in England, tho Methodist Episcopal Church, and thoir uuinorous offshoots. That examination extends into what somo may considor trivial matters, but whore tho qualifications of tho ministry ur con corned nothing is really trivial. A chargo of imprudence, bo far as it goes, is Just as serious as a chargo of immorality. In fact, a miuistor may make much worso havoc of tho flock of Christ by such practices as aro complained of by those Washington stroot brethren than by acts of immorality.

In the laitor case his example would bo shunnod aud good pooplo might bear with ids infirmities; but such proceedings as are complained of In tho specifications contained in this momorial and iu tho bill of charges presonted by tho local preachers lead to tho extinction of piety and to tho complete disintegration of a church. Whether theso complaints aro well founded I cannot say; but I do say thoy are proper subjects of fnveslfgatiod. What is a presiding oldor for, If It is not to attond to such maltors? Ho receives a portion of his salary from thoso pooplo to look nftor tho interests of tholr chargo. I trust tho groat Methodist Episcopal Church wijl never sink so low as to become Indifferent to tho strict onforcomont of disciplino upon its own ministers. Aliqdis.

EDWARD LA DYING. A Well Known JSrooklyn Stii'fvrincr from Cancer, Edward Lamb, the comedian, rho30 fac i is familiar to almost every adult in Brooklyn, is dying at his home, 370 Sixth street, of cancer of tho stomnch. Mr. Lamb aomo wooks ago returned from a Western trip with company which ho managed aa well aa aciod with on tho stago. Ho then had some troublo with his stomach, but attributed it to indigestion.

The troublo, howover, increased until it was impossible for Mr. Lamb to retain any solid food, and, bocoming alarmed, ho consultod his physician. Tlio doctor discovered symptoms of cancer, and is now certain that tbo pationt is beyond any bono of recovery. Mr. Lamb has boon conllued to his bod since Juno 1.

Dr. L. Barstow Irish, his physician, said last night "Thoro ie no doubt that thla Is Vr. Lamb's last illness, llo understands that, although ho doos not know that his disease is of a canccn.us nature. Wo havo been compelled to koop him in Ignorance of that fact, so that ho may not become too oxcitod.

I htve hold several consultations with Professor Skono and Dr. Torry, and they agree with my diagnosis of the case and support my theory that doath will afTord the only relief Mr. Lamb will evor know. It is a question of a few weoks only, possibly a fow days. The growth of tlio cancer is porcofitihlo daily and must cause tho patient intense suffering.

Ho is kept partly undor tho inlluonco of nnodyuos, but will not rjermit us to uso morphia to a very great ox tont. He is perfectly conscious and hits daily intercourse with his family, who aro his only visitors. Although a largo number of his old professional friends havo called at tho house, none of thoin havo boon permitted to aoo Mr. Lamb. Tho task which Mr.

Lamb undertook iu tho Spring undoubtedly hastened his prostration. Ho playotl tlion on pure grit, llo had not realls strength to stand, and for days together ate no food at all. Tho otTect after oneh meal was ao trying that he "oforred to go hungry. Frequently during that engagement ho was prostratod, and always requirod rest botwoen his appearoncos ou the stage. Now his trouble has gono so far that hia death Is merely a question of how long it will take him to starve." Mr.

Lamb is 6" years of ago. Ills family consists of a wife and live children throo sous and tivo daughlors. Tho sons nro actors, ami tlie youngest daughter, Miss Mluuio Lamb, has always takon an active interest in tho work of amateur dramatic societies iu Brooklyn. Tho other daughter is Mrs. Corwiu, tho wife of tho manager at Toledo, for the Standard Oil Company.

The singing was rathor limited, consisting of a pretty duet, "Whon Lifo is Hrightoat," by Lulu Smith and Eva Drako, aud tho two songs, "Old Fif toon" and "Class Song," which wero sung by tho school. Tlio class song was as follows: Summer's sun is glowing o'or us, Touder Juno is reiguiug uow, And our life is all beforo us, Autumn's fruit and Winter's snow. But of eitlur little reck wo, AH our hearts with Joy o'orflow Joy commix't with teudor sadness, Alma ilator's tribute duo.

Many Tflio Pat Up Their Money DisappointedRichmond Captures the Beach Suburban Good Racing on Two Traekg. Exile ran a bad fourth in tho renewal of the Suburban at a mile and a quarter at Brighton Beach yosterday, was walked two mllo to tho Sheepshead Bay track and thoro won tho renewal of tho Bay Eldgo Handicap at a mile and a half, with 121 pounds up, within a half Becoud of the record made by Luke Blackburn whon three yoars old with 102 pounda up ot Monmouth Park in August, 1880, and last year by the four year old Jim Guost when carrying 98 pounds at Washington Park, Chicago, which made it tho fastost raco at tho dlstanco run this year. William Lakeland, tho owner of Exilo, has tho reputatiou of being tho boldest bluffor on the turf, and certainly his game of bluff yesterday was well played and highly romunoratlvo to him hiraself, but Just how that portion of the public which backod Exilo to wlu at Brighton feols over tho matter is bettor Imagined than doscrlbod.

Tho stable claimed that tho paco In tho Suburban at Brighton, which was won in 2:079, was too fust for Exile, but tho argument dO03 uot hold good whon the time in tho ronowal of tho Bay Kidgo is taken Into consideration. A far bettor explanation, or ono that Is more generally boliovod, i3, that whilo at Brighton Exile was a great favorite at 3 to 1 on, when his dofcat bocame known at Shoopshoad tho odds ngalnst him ranged from 4 to 7 to 1 against, but so much of tho stable money was piled upon him Just boforo the raco that tbo odds foil to 3 to 1 against. It was a great performance, taken in any light, aud stamps Exilo as a wonderful stayer and sprint or, but oron this fact is but poor consolation for thoso who havo followod tho in and out running of tho horso.

Last ovoning tho Academy ot Music was crowded by the friends of the students who desired to seo them bid farowolLto college life. Right Rov. John Loughlin, Bishop of Brooklyn, presided. To John P. Campbell was givon the honor of making the salutatory address.

Mr. William J. Donaldson spoke on "Scienco, the Handmaid of Revelation," after which Mr. James T. Eagan delivered tho following address on "Tho Attractions of Our Constitution:" Tho JSnglish Constitution, however far It has advanced In the progressive march ot freodom, can nevor boast of offering tho boon of liberty to any portion of its subjects only undor extreme pressure.

Whon tho emancipation of tho Irish Catholics was carried the first ollcors of the Brilish Governmont, Wellington and Peel, admitted that it was only fear of civil disturbance which compelled them to give couutenanco to such a measure. England Is still taking progressive stops undor the guidance of tho bravest, the most eloquent and tho most sagacious of thoTMtish statesmen of modern times, Hon. William E. Gladstone, although meeting with a desporato resistance from tho predjudico and in toloraut hplrlt of Toryism. But if tho Tory Government wore swept from the face of tho earth no reconstruction that Englishmen would bo likoly to mako iu thoir constitution Would entitle it to bo compared with the immortal sentiments that the patriotism and magnanimity uf an Invincible peoplo embodied in tho glorious document panned by Jefferson in our infant days of freedom.

Englishmen cannot look upon tho maguiflconco of this groat country without feelings of shamo and sorrow, shame for tho ignominy of defeat and sorrow that a narrow policy wrenched from their hands tho most fertile laud that tho auu shines upon. That document, penned in letters of living light, assuring peace, freedom anil happiness to the Caucasian race, camo down to us, howover, with one blot, and that was slavery. This has happily been wiped out by tho blood of tho bravest aud bost of Amorlean patriots, nobly aided by the son9of exiles from tlio king ridden peoples of Europe, and now tho American Constitution has no parallel in ancient or modorn political history. It is a magnet which draws to our shores tho oppressed and downcast of every nation under heaven. Tho Roman constitution in the palmiest days of tho republic, kingdom and empire had too much of the moneyed interest In Its general structure to be a model representation of universal freedom Id this re epect the simplicity of our democratic governmont far oxcols, causing every human boing to be respected, not on account of his money or his birthright, but because of his humanity.

The bane of English freedom is class distinction aud hereditary right to power and Influence. These are permauent oyesorea. Once let them havo explicit or inpliclt location lu the constitutional laws of a country, and the evlU which thoy genorato will go on increasing until ihoir only remedy will be the arbitrament of tho sword. Tho Komnn republican and Brilish Constitution, as it is at presont, aro, perhaps, tho most similar types of representative governments that over existed in ancient or 'modern limos. But neithor.

In tho unlimited scope and compass of freedom, guarded by its ample provisions, can compare with our own peerless system. Even Athons lu tho huloyou days of her domocracy could not boast of a freedom liko ours. Hers was sufficiently guarded by legislative onactment, and tho general veto on the moat important subjects In tho assemblies of the people was license rather than liberty. The banishment or death of many of hor most omiuont aud self sacrificing citizens was accomplished by brlbory aud intriguo in thoir popular assemblies, and many measures were there carried totally opposod to tho iutorosts of the country. Every student of history knows tho shallow pretense ou which the wisest aud ablost man of all Greece, Socrates, was condemned to drlok tho poisonous hemlock.

He was not tho only Illustrious man that suffered tho same fate at the hands of a flcklo people. Atlioniau democracy was aa dangerous, if not more 80 than aristocracy pure and It had no representative or conservative elements, and it Is only under such safeguards that tho volco of tho people can truly bo called the volco ot God. Along with having tho voice of the people all powerful iu tho manor ot olections, wo havo the restraints of roprosentativo institutions and any one that reads the Constitution of tho United States must be convinced that it is the product of tho genius of freedom ns it dwelt lu the hearts of tho mon who stood side by stdo on tho battloflold and in tho Senate House, arrayed against the most arbitrary and tyrannical government in tho history of nations. The English yoke was the inspiror and expounder of rellgiouB bigotry in the colonies, but with tho bright buu of liberty, the Constitution of the Unitod Slates, Bhining in the blue cf nations, every cloud of race prejudice, of religious bigotry and intolerance was chased away. Occasionally an outburst of passion renews the old loaven, but it is like tho feeble flicker of the last remnant of a dying candle, it shoots up to die away aud disappear forovor.

Its doath wae hastened by tho irresistible force of public opinion moldod by such men as Washington, Jefferson, Hancock and Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, It was reserved for America to establish the most period form of government that over fell to the lot of human beings to live undor. The middle ages were ripe lor tho full measure of freedom, but tho teachings of tho Church prepared tho barbarous pooplos of Northern Europe for liberty in its fullest measure. You are free tor Christ has made you free aud tho teaching of His Church has ovor been to prepare tho minds of mea for true liberty. Tho Spaniard lovos the vino clad hills ot his native laud but loves, perhaps, still better tho liberal freedom which tho United States offers to the refugeos of every clime. The Frenchman, whose forefathers aided in bringing about our freedom aud with it our glorious Constitution, loves to visit the United Statos and to dwell undor the protection of the Stripes and Stars, while ho mourns tho abortion of a republic in his own laud.

If his opinion bo askod regarding the success of French republican government ho will tell you 'tis a failure; since its foundation is opposed to that on which the United States republican form of government is foundod. Tho Italian, tho Gorman, thodwoller in tho Netherlands, the llborty loving Polauder, all unito in praiao of the glorious government which provides a home and sholtor for tho oppressod and suffering peoplo of all lands and look upon the Constitution as tlio ti uo typo of real freedom. May tlio tenets of that Constitution cvor remain inviolable. May its guardian watch ovor it and cherisn it as an heirloom, a rich legacy boqueathod to them as the representatives of thoso whoso forefathers died to purchaso it; and may Its influence ovor advance this youthful nation in tho paths of pence and plonty till sho stands ou tho loftiost summits of prosperity, tho quoou of nations. tho dovo, the emblem ot dlvlno peaco, aud the oaglo, our own symbol of troodom, long continuo to soar with unfottorod pinion throughout the land whore order, Justice aud liberty havo kissod.

Church Considered from an Ecclesiastical Standpoint The Specifications Against the Pastor and Extracts from the Book of Discipline Bearing on Them. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I have been solicited to give my opinion respecting the unhappy troubles existing: ia the M. E. Cliuroli, Washington street, Brooklyn. This unseemly Btrlfo, which, Dy tlio blunder or perversity of some of tho officials, luy or clorical, has found Its way Into the public press, has so many phases and affects so seriously the administration of some TVhose position every loyal Mothodlst doslres to respect, that for a time I shrank from tho task, ami now undertnko It only to vindicate tho admirable disciplino of the church from tho sad travesty put upon It by somo wlio aro supposed to understand It, and to enlighten certain gontlomon of the press as to tho moral qualifications and requirements of tho ministry of the M.

E. Church, of which they display such a lamontablo iguorance. To state the matter concisely: The presiding bishop of the New York East Conference, in April, 1868, appointed tho Rov. C. W.

Millon, a miuistor in full and perfect standing, to tho chargo tho Washington street Church. Tho appointment was not only accept able to tho congregation Generally, but in accordance with tho uuauimous request of the official mombors. But a low months, however, elapsed before several of (ha officials, embracing tho most active workers in tho church, bocame dissatisfied with things In the pastor himself and in his management of the church. Tho natural and proper course, that of complaining to him in por flon, was adopted, but without avail until tho third Quarterly conference, when, by general consent, a committee was appointed to consider tho question of tho pastorato for tho otisuiug year. Front that date certain noglects of duty were discontinued, ftuttbo other alloged griovancos coninued and wero aggravated in degree.

At tho last quarterly conference, held shortly before the annual conference, the vexod quostion of tho pastorate came up, when it was ascertained that two or three who had been among the most out Bpokoii In their had entirely changed tholr views and now approved what boforo thoy condemned. Bosido theso, several others presented themselV03 who nearly always had been absent Irom previous meotiugs. Theso combined made a BOlid party in favor of the pastor, and a motion requesting tho presiding elder to use hia influence for his reappointment wa3 carried by a majority of one Of Che members present. Shortly after Ibis the dissenting officials prepared and forwarded to the presiding blbhop of the late annual conference a calmly written memorial, sotting forth their objections to Brother Milieu's reappointment and asking for a change. From the published copy of this now famous documont, which lies before mo, and whose authenticity I have not heard disputed, I gather the following particulars, the truthfulness of which tho subscribers to the momorial are of course responsible for, viz.

That promptly after his appointmout ho banished from the church a gospel temperanco organization," which had boen tho moans of groat moral and spiritual good in that section of the city; that the pastor was far from boing spiritually but "his time was generally speut In unprofitable conversation;" that as to pastoral visiting, while ho called on a fow porsons frequently, he paid no visits at all to some," and instead of "having prayer and giving roligious counsel'' at these visits, after the manner of the early Methodist preachers, such exercisos as gossipplng, idlo talk, and inordinate self adulation'' are hinted at as customary substitutes; that he "oTton absouted himself from the weekly prayer meotlug3 and monthly love foasts, and somotloios without appointing a that ho kept away from Official Board meetings, and once oven from tho Quarterly conference, and kindly rorconstraujo'' With him was unavailing;" that he substituted a Berlesofaeml religious concerts for gospel preaching at the hours for tho regular Sunday services;" that he dispensed with tho after prayer mooting on Sunday evening, giving as an excuse" that thGpoo plo camo to hoar him preach, and not to attend prayer meetings; that preaching was genorally dlspensod with on aacramontal occasions; that the pastor "spoke disrespectfully" of esteemed members of tho church, aud of the officers of tho Sunday Bchool in the presence of the teachers and children, and sought to make changes in offico without any apparent reason; that ho triod to "chango tho character of the church music by the introduction Of operatic singing," and introduced thoatrical persons and instruments to "supercede our regular vocalists:" that he did not koop faith with tho Official Board as to special services, and "nogloctod a golden opportunity" for promoting a revival of religion, and that he had mado himself a partisan, and had divided tho church Into factions. Tho memorialists further alleges that such practices as "house to houso canvassing, caucusing, boycotting, log rolling and various other expedients known to partypoliticlanB" were employed by whom, it Is not statod to obtain a majority in support of tho pastor. Thoso complaints, be it romembered, aro not given as charges on which It was asked to have tho paBtor arraigned, but as reasons why ho was unacceptable to the petitioners and why thoy desired his removal from tho pastorato of tholr ohurch. Now, assuming that tho statements above mado are true, tho question arises, Do thoy constitute Just grounds of dissatisfaction? Let us turn to the "Book of Discipline," page 77. 1 select tho following from among the Rulos for a Preacher's (Jon "Never be unemployed.

Never bo trlflingly employed. Nevor triflo away time; neither spend any more time at any place than Is strictly necessary." Bo serious. Lot your motto bo, llolinoss to tho Avoid all lightness, Jesting aud foolish talking." "Speak evil of no one, because your word, especially, would eat as doth a cankor." "You have nothinr; to do but to save souls, therefore Bpcnd and be spent in this work, and go always not only to those who want you, but to thoso that want you most." "Act in ail things not according to your own will, but as a son in the Gospel. As such it is your duty to employ your tlmo iu the manner in which we direct: In preaching and visiting from houso to houso, iu reading, meditation and prayor." "A preacher of tho Gospel is the servant of all." 'And roroomborl a Methodist preacher is to mind every point, groat aud small, iu tho Methodist discipline." "A preacher shall bo qualified for his charge by walking closely with God, having hla work greatly at heart, aud by understanding and loving discipline." In tho chapter on "Visiting from House to Houso," pp. 80 92, occur many directions as 10 the proper method and objects of pnstoral visiting, covering all tho ground embraced in this momorial and a good deal more.

It Is also tho duty of the pastor to bo present at tho leador's aud steward's meetings, p. 74; of tho Official Board, p. 75; of the quarterly conference, p. 01, aud of tho love feasts, p. 110.

In tbo solemn chargo given to tho pastor on the occasion of his ordination we find tho following (Disc. p. 200): Bowaro that neithor you yuurselvos offend, nor bo occasion that others And iu p. 2u8 tho candidato for holy Orders is askod: "Will vou maintain and sot forward as much as Heth In you, quietness, peace and love among all Christian aud especially among them that are or shall bo cornmictoi to your chargo To which tho pastor responds: "I will BO do, tho Lord being ray helper." On a comparison Of thoso quotations from tho Boolt of Discipline" With the memorial I approhond that the point is not whelhor those complainants were too exacting In tholr demands upon their pastor, but whother tho liev. C.

W. Milieu was tho kind of Overseer this spiritual Hock had a right to look for. Tor one I cannot blame tbotn foi holding views Inculcated iu the constitution of their church and exemplified in tho life and conversation of its most eminent and useful ministers. But it is said tho bishop returned Brother to the chargo, notwithstanding tho allegations contained iu tho memorial. This cannot alter tho principle involved, for surely the action of one man, ovou though a bishop, cannot decide the merits of a quostion llko this.

I seo it statod iu oue of tho published interviews witii an official mombor of tbo Washington Btreot Church in a nowspapor furnished me, that the bishop was an Invalid during conference, boing physically unablo to dovoto tho rcqulslto nttonlion to exciling subjects, nud, I beliovo, as a tnattor of fact, ho was nnt only down youth on accouut of 111 health Jusi before conference, but is now absont in Europo from the saino causo. As an abstract quostion there can bo no doubt as to what he would Bay on a caso such as this wore It Submitted to him. But there is an important omission in tho printed papers laid before mo, and which I will supply from Information that only incidentally camo to me: 1 learn that a largo and influential deputation visitod tho bishop iu Brother Milieu's lutorest, strongly urging tho pastor's reappointment. What arguments or representations they may havo made, aa theintorviow was strictly private, do not appoar; but possibly their visit may havo determined the question. The matter that most surprises me, how ovor, ia that so astute an administrator of ecclesiastical law as tho venerablo Dr.

Harris should havo failod to have placed the memorial in tho hands of the incoming presiding elder of tho Brooklyn district, with instructions to instituto the most rigid inquiry into the state of things theroin sot forth for guroly, if the requirements of a minister made in tho discipline aro neithor farcical uor a dead lotter, tho matters complained of ought to bo Bottled, if thoy aro true tho pastor should bo required to amend; but If false, his management should bo vindicated and the complainants should be hold responsible before the church courts lor their 'truropory allegations. It Is quite correct to say thoro is nothing in Bll this to reflect on Brothor Miller's moral character, and I am glad to note this fact; but It must bo borne In mind that many olhbr questions beside those affecting bis morality a3 a man aud a Christian necessarily enter into his qualifications for tho Bacrod offico he hold aud Into his pastoral administration. On his return to tho chargo it is claimed that tho pastor'a courso was, so unbearable that the local preachers of tho church, three in numbor, felt It thslr duty to lnvoko tbo authority of tho presiding elder In tho case. Accordingly, throo distinct chargos against tho Washington street pastor wore preferred to that official, viz. (1.) Imprudence; (2.) Maladministration of the Disciplino; (3.) Uu shrfstlau and unministorlal couduct.

Each of IhoBo chargos was accompanied by ono or mora Sjeellicailons walch, if true, were aulto oufflcleut to A It ill or as to Ilu Location TUo Neeon srtry Funds When Treasurer Ripley liopes, of tho Beochor Momorial fund, was askod yostorday If thoro was any truth In tho report that the Beochor statuo would bo erected In the little park at tho head of Oraneo stroot, on tho IIoightB, ho answered "It is all news to me, for I have not heard a word about it." "Ie there any time sot for closing the subscription books 7 "I am not awnro of any sot timo for closing the books.

Thoro are to my knowledge outstanding accounts that should be handed in long ago, and the publication of tho decision you refer to might spur thoso pooplo up to thoir duty.

City Treasurer Adam Whoolock said, in answer to tho above questions: "I have not hoard any member of Plymouth Church express an opinion in regard to where tho statue of Mr. Boocber should be placod, nud In answor to tbo othor questions I will say that the monumont schomo was gotton up by the citizens, who appointod an executive committoo to carry tho scheme to a successful Issuo. 1 havo boen a member of Plymouth Church for forty yoars and I think It would bo unbecoming in any porson belonging to Mr. Beechor's congrogutlon to suggest to tho citizons' committoo when tbo subscription books should close or tho amount of money noedod."

He had Tierman at command but he wonted a catchor for him. Just at this time Gore was conveniently taken sick, and Brown was called in to catch. Dunlap, who was acting as captain, objected to Gore's rotlromont under Hule 43 of tlio National Codo, which roads as follows: 11 A substitute shall not bo allowod to tako tho placo of any player unless such player bo disablod by illness or Injury, of the naturo or oxtentof which tho umpire shall bo solo Judge." This left Valentine, tlio umpire Just released Irom the American Association for allogod incompetency, solo Judge of liio point; and ho doclarod Goro not sufficiently disabled by illness or injury to uood a substitute.

Ward refused to abide by the decision and tho result was that Now York lost tho match by forfeit, 9 to 0. Ward offered to play with eight men, which ho well, know was against tho rulos. Finally, when the crowd demanded thoir money back, Watkius and Mutrle agreed to lot tho gamo go undor protest Irom New York, and another gamo was arranged, aud as Keefo wont iu tho box, with Brown as catchor, against Bnldwin aud Ganzell, Now York won by 11 to 4, tlio Dotroits giving Baldwin wrotchod support. White led at tho bat for Detroit, he making throo cloau hits off Keofo. It Is questionable whether tho gamo can count, as It was not scheduled.
